commencement Tickets.

As already announced in these columns,
tickets of admission will he required for the
Concert on Monday evening and the Elocu.
tionary Recital on Tuesday evening of Com
mencement week. These tickets will not be
had as heretofore by application to the secre,
tary of the college, but at Huber's and
Bovles drug stores, where they can be
bought for the uniform price of twenty-hv
cents with the privilege of reservlng seat at
the time Of purchase.
The college has been compelled to resort
to this, as years of experience has shown
the impossibility of accommodating all who
applied for tickets, or of giving all Satstac-
tory seats when they were provided with
tickets. By this arrangement all desiring to
attend these exercises are given the same op-
portunity to secure tickets and satisfactory
seats.
The college wishes it to be distinctly I'M
derstood that the only object in making a
charge for admission is to secure greater sat
isfaction to the friends who attend, and the
receipts from the sale of tickets will not go
into the college treasury but be applied to the
purchase of books for the college library.
Tickets will not be required for any other OF
the commencement exercises, to all OF which
the public are cordially invited.
Diagrams of the Auditorium will be found
a, the drug stores and the sale of tickets will
begin Tuesday, June 18th.

Carroll County Jail and Aim shouse.

Last week Mr.. G. S. Griffith, President of
the MARYLAND Prisoners Aid Association, and
Rev. VIM. c. Stoudenmire, general agent,
visited the Jail and almshouse last week.
Following is their report
sin the Carroll county Jail, at Westmin-
ster, we found IL prisoners, all male, except
81 white woman. Petty larceny was the
charge laid against nearly all of them.
Three of them are sentenced to the Maryland
House of Correction. The rest are waiting
trial. The sheriff, Mr. Ephraim Haines, is
in hearty sympathy with the work of our as
soclatiOn. He had just succeeded i'll raising
a purse of $4 or S. for a prisoner, who was
tried and found not guilty, that he might re-
turn home and resume life where he left off,
without being compelled to beg. Religious
services are held in the Jail by the \. NJ. c.
A. committee from the Western Maryland
College. The committee is composed of
Messrs. A. G. Dixon, A. J. Hartzell, j. H.
Straughan and Z. r. Woodford. They hold
service every Sunday in the Jail. under the
auspices of the Prisoners Aid Association.
They exert telling influence upon the prls-
oners, and many of them go out reformed,
and are better fitted for citizenship. The
Jail is in good sanitary condition, and is
kept as clearly and neatly as i private home.
SIN the Carroll county almshouse, at West
minister, we found "a inmater-l2 colored and
II white. One of the insane, an old white
man, ought to be put in the insane asylum; as
he makes SO much disturbance at night that
he keeps the inmates from their necessary
rest There is also an aged insane colored
woman who ought to be put in an insane asy-
lum, where she would be under better control.
The main building is becoming very much
dilapidated. The place is fairly we'll kept
Religious services are held for the inmates
every Sunday by Miss Shellman and the I.
NJ. c. A. committee from the Western Mary
land College. The superintendent, MIR. Ed
ward Berwager says he is doing the hest e
can with the limited means and experience
he has, and, after carefully looking into al
fairs of the institution, and taking all things
in consideration we believe he is doing his
best for the comfort and cheer of the inmates
