A FINE PL4CE or RESIDENCE.
During the past few Wars anuInber
of gentlemen who arr engaged in
business in the city of Baltimore have
found it to be to their comfort and ad
vantage to make their homes away
from the noise and turmoil of city life.
Several OF them have chosen our de-
lightful town as Il summer residence,
and have found it to so far meet their
expectations that they have remained
here permanently.
There is no town, which lies within
twenty-five miles of the metropolis,
that can offer greater inducements.
High and healthy, singularly free from
infectious diseases, with an abun.
dance of pure, cold spring water and
an unrivalled atmosphere, Bel Air is
an ideal place OF residence. Our
streets are broad and clean, well
shaded, and lined with handsome
residences. There are churches of al
the leading denominations easily ac
cessible and our school presents q

gives it it a high rank among the
suburban educational institutes.
We are in close touch with Balti
more, there being four trains each
way, daily. The morning train will
land passengers in the city by s 80 a
NJ. and a return is effected by $50 OF
100 P. Nj. as desired. In addition tt
this drive of a few miles over an at
tractive country, enables one to tai
either of the great Eastern railroad
arteries, the b. y o. or the p w.

: comfort.
= 1t is understood that Presiden
Mckinley has rendered places upol
the peace commission to Hon. A. P
; German and Senator Allison, of Iowa
both of whom declined. 1t seems a
if the President recognizes the abili
ties which certain Baltimore paper
could not see or honor.
/ The italian and Russian ambassa

Secretary OF State containing congrat
: ulations upon the conclusion of tn
