A Card.
ROCKVILLE, March |, 1898.

ROCKVILLE, MaTCn l, 1910.
Mr.. Editor My name has been connected
with the episode at Annapolis, in which Mr..
Anderson is quoted as having made the re-
mark in regard to Mr. Peter, He is Re
publican; he voted the Republican ticket
last fall, entirely without my authority or
consent; but the uncompromising language
of Mr.. Anderson's card of denial, published
last week in the county papers, leaves me
no other course but the one which calls for
full statement concerning the affair, which
[ present to the public in the following affi
davit:
State Of Maryland, Montgomery county, t0-ooa:

February, in the year 1898, before the sub

The Lights on Vehicles.

The police regulation requiring lights to
be placed on all vehicles, TO remain from an
hour after sunset until an hour before sun.
rise, which regulation it was first intended
should go into effect the first of March, was
Saturday amended by the Commissioners
OF the District of Columbia so as to provide
that it shall take effect the first OF April.
The postponement of the date was made
that the Commissioners might have more
time in which to consider the objections
which have been urged against the enforce
ment Of the regulation by not only the PEG.
pie of the District, but also by people re-
siding in the country adjacent to the Dis.
trict. 1t is more than probable that it will
be amended some time between now and
the first of April, although the amendment
or amendments have not yet been finally
decided upon by the Commissioners.
The farmers are among those who most
strongly protest against the enforcement Of
the regulation as it now stands, and at a re-
cent meeting OF the farmers of this county,
at Sandy Spring, it was unanimously de-
cided, after thorough discussion of the
matter, that the ordinance In its present
shape would work great hardships, incon.
venience and expense to them and to the
truckers, should it be enforced. Messrs
Asa M. Stabler, William Il. Muncaster and
Uric Hutton were appointed a committee
to confer with the District Commissioners
and place before them the views OF the meet
ing The committee has done this, and,
after first explaining that it would be very
difficult for the country people to carry out
the provisions of the regulation with certain
kinds of produce daily sent to the markets
of Washington, the memorial presented ty
the committee continues as follows:
"As We understand it, your contemplated
law requires that lights shall be seen in
front as well as on either side of the vehicle.
This we think impracticable with loads of
hay and straw, as there is no suitable place
to attach a light which would comply with
the requirements OF the law, but which would
not incur the risk of setting fire to the load
from stone being thrown by street urchin.
"Second Our large road wagons are 80
constructed, without springs, that in most
cases it would be very difficult to keep a
lantern burning at all times.
Third. We are placed at disadvantage
because these restrictions are imposed ten,
fifteen or twenty miles from our homes, and
in case of accident by breakage or on the
lanterns going out, and the drivers being
unable to replace them, we would be sub
jected to serious inconvenience, delay and
expense, and perhaps arrest Of the team
Fourth. While we do not make habit
OF travelling in the District with our teams
in the hours when lights would be required,
yet by accidents and from force of circum
stances we are sometimes compe lied to do
80, but our vehicles being large, easily seen,
n 1isy and moving slowly, we think they
would seldom, ii ever, cause An accident by
coming in collision with other moving veh
cles

In memory OF Nellie Clagett, eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. W. Il. Clagett, who
died at the residence of her parents, Febru
airy Is, aged Ia years, months and days.
So young, but not loo young TO die
Death is sad under any circumstances, but
when the young whose hearts have scarcely
been brought in touch with lifes expert
ences, must be consigned TO the grave IL is
doubly sad.
Blessed with a sweet and joyous nature,
this young lie gave promise OF usefulness
and noble womanhoOd. She was a devoted
daughter, kind and loving sister. AS a
scholar respectful al ways conscientious and
faithful to her duties, thus endearlng her
self to teacher and schoolmates.
Her faith in her Heavenly Father was
something more than chldlike Even IN
her dying hours she sang 81 Want TO be
Worker for the Lord" 1t is sad indeed
that life so full OF beauty and promise
should be 50 suddenly cut off Just at that
period of existence when highest hopes be-
gan TO bud
A lew weeks ago little we thought that
She the pride and delight Of happy home,
80 blest with health and strength, would 80
soon be sleeping the sleep that knows no
natural waking. Now in the quiet and
beautiful cemetery not far distant from those
who loved her, she has been laid 10 rest.
And the gay and tender visions Of her young
life the warm associations and ties Of loved
and loving ones all wither under the touch
of death, while everything with which this
young life was associated will recall her
with a paug which time alone can 10 any
measure soften.
IL is not for US to iilt the veil that now en-
velOps her sOrrOwlng nome, Tor this sorrow
will throw its shallow over their brightest
hours, but the kindly words Of sympathy
Will shine through II while faith aud hope
paint bright pictures Of the bessedness OF
the departed, saying Could you see her in
her celestial home you would behold her
ROBBED In the splendOr Of spOtless white,
standing with outstretched arms, reckoning
you on ward and upward Her rest is peace,
and who would call her back 10 endure the
oOrrows and temptations OF this world We
Will remember her as another Of the Mas
ters fairest and brightest flowers plucked by
the ICY fingers OF Death and Transplant Jed
with loving care 10 hOlier and happier
life, TO live forever IN the realms Vi eternal
bliss Ia.

In Memoriam.

Departed this life on the evening OF Thurs
day, February nth, 1898, at o'clock, at the
residence of Mr.. j. W. Collier, near Dick
erson, Mrs. Elizabeth Burrus, relict of the
late Thomas Burrus, after an illness OF two
weeks, of pneumonia, in the Goth year OF
her age.
1t seems like cold indifference to lay our
departed friends away in the grave without
writing some portrayal OF their virtues to
perpetuate our recollections of them.
Again it can be truly said that the life of
another good woman has closed its earthly
career
Again deaths frost has sent the arrow of
grief into the home where she resided, and
feeling of intense sorrow pervades the
homes of an entire neighborhood, which
has so often felt the assistance OF her sym
pathetic nature.
Only short time since we looked upon
our esteemed friend, though aged, the pic
ture of health, and bidding fair to yet live a
number OF years in continued usefulness
and activity Her death but reminds us of
our ownl
Frail human nature, for some good rea-
son, does not know, however, the limit God
has put on our existence.
Her shining qualities have built for her
monument that shall endure while our mem
DRY lasts.
On Saturday foil owing her death, not
withstandng the Indictment weather, a
crowd OF sorrowing friends assembled at
the Mt. Pleasant NJ. f.. Church to show a
last tribute OF respect To their honored
friend. Rev. Walter p. Grggs, OF Pooles.
vile, her former pastor, conducted the ser.
vices, saying that she needed no eulugy, but
rather pointed his remarks TO the living,
urging upon those present the necessity of
making their past lives speak for the deal
After the services the remains were taken
TO Monocacy cemetery for interment.
The trial Is hard, the pain severe,
TO part with one we loved SO DEAR
But in our heart she shall remain
Until We meet In Heaven again.
Mrs. A. G. c. and Daughter.
