A HORSE BURNED.
The Stable of Mr.. j. S. W. Jarboe
Destroyed With all It's Con-
tents

Last Sunday night about eleven
thirty o'clock an alarm was sounded
upon the discovery that the frame stable
in the rear of Mr. j. S. w. Jarboe's
feed and grain store, on East Patrick
street, was on fire and burning fierce
ly. The weather was very inclement
at the time and light rain was falling,
but despite this fact, by the time the
tiremen reached the scene, the inflam-
mable structure was beyond help. At
that late hour it was some length of
time before the apparatus could be got
ten to the scene, ana the dampness
was fortunate and also the fact that
no high winds were blowing, else sew
eral adjacent buildings would in all
probability have shared the fate of the
stable Brookey's tannery in the di-
rect rear, and Hardt 4 Keefer's lum
ber yard on the west side would have
been in especial danger. An unfortu-
nate circumstance connected with the
fire was the loss If fine horse belong
ing to Mr.. Jarboe, which he valued
very highly. The animal had gotten
loose and struggled through the smoke
towards the door, when he was over
come by suffocation, and when the
door was forced open to rescue him, if
possible, he was down in the throes of
death.
After some delay water was thrown
on the flames and they were soon ex-
tinguished, but the stable was a total
wreck. small quantity of hay and
feed, together with set of harness, etc,
was destroyed. 1t is probable that the
fire was of incendiary origin, and a
party living near the scene of the fire
told the writer that just about the
time the alarm was sounded a man was
seen running out of the gate into the
alley on the side. No clue to the per-
petrator of the outrage could be found.
The stable and horse were insured,
the first for 500 in the Old Mutual
Company and the latter for Sl25 in
another company. A new stable will
shortly be erected.

LAST BICYCLE TEA.
Miss Eloise Young Entertains The
Club at her Hospitable Home
On Court Square.

Although the Bicycle Tea in its orig
mai sense becomes inoperalive with
the appearance of cold weather, there
were many members OF this pleasant
social association, which has afforded
SO much pleasure during the summer
months, that had not had AN opporlu-
nlty to iu fill their part of the program,
ana hence 1t is that the teas continued
on after many of the silent steeds had
been put into winter quarters.
When the club was organized early
III the summer, the plan of procedure
at these events was short cycle ride
In the early evening hours aud then a
social gathering at the home of one If
the members, where simple refresh
ments were served. The club en-
traced on its charter list the names of
nearly all the young ladies of the city
and tea has been held every week
ana sometimes two have occurred in
order to get them in before Christmas.
All agree tnat this idea has been
most pleasantly and successfully car
rled out hy The young ladies, who al.
ways invited the men to accompany
them and were really the masters of
the situation. The lesson of galantry
they have brought should not lie with
out corresponding degree of profit.
The young men uf, Frederick will re-
turn the compliment so lavishly ex-
tended to them by the fair sex, by
giving large dance or perhaps a Ger
man sometime in the near future.
Last Friday evening Miss Eloise
Young. youngest daughter Of Mr.. Me-
Clintock Young, of Court Square, gave
the last of the bicycle teas and it was a
most delightful and fitting close of the
gay aud enjoyable series.
The house was most daiutily deco
rated for the occasion and among those
who received with their charming
young hostess were Mrs. Cha-. w.
Ross, Jr., Miss Mary Ingle and others.
Several very unique and surprising fea-
lures were part of the e ening's en-
tertainment, among them being a Sc
ries of five-minute talks on the sub
ject of Love-" concerning which all
seemed to be very well posted and
thoroughly at home, and afterwards a
vote was taken to decide which was
the most entertaining and popular
conversationalists The result was that
Miss Mary Maul-by, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. VIM. p. MauIsby, and MIR.
Arthur Trail were the choice of tho-e
with whom they chatted, and each
was given a most appreciate souvenir
of The occasion. Vocal and instrument
tai music also made the fleeting hours
all too briefly filter away, and shortly
after the most delicious refreshments
had been served the guests departed
1t was an evening of much pleasure
and no doubt many regrets were felt
that the eud had come. Next summer
the teas may he inaugurated again.

cost, as are the farmers of Maryland,
through means of the Agricultural
Department at Washington, as supple

gentleman gave an interesting lecture.
'rhe Agricultural College," he said
''is primarily to prepare boys for enter
