ALDERMAN pH,tsaook SURPRISED.

a very pleasant surprise was given
to Alderman Philbrook of Ward D
Tuesday evening. when about $50 of his
friends. including many from Man
chester and this city, gathered at his
home near the Jewett schoolhouse.
Mr. Philbrook has served six years
in the city government. and has been
elected alderman for the third time this
year.
His friends conceived the idea OF
showing their appreciation of his SER
vices by giving him a surprise party
and much credit is due the projectors
of the scheme.
A number were present who seemed
to forget. or rather overlook for the
time being, at least. that Ed is a Re-
publican alderman, showing that a
man may have honor even i'm his own
country.
Everyone went for the purpose of
having a good time and none were dis
appointed. After Mr.. Philbrook and
his estimable wife had recovered from
their first surprise. they were doomed
to still another when. a large easy
chair, foot rest. slippers and other val
udUle presents. were Drought IN ana
presented by Roland Scribner. who
made a pleasing speech in behalf of the
donors.
This was one of those occasions when
man cannot say very much on ac-
count of sort of heart failure: that
is, his heart fails to stay out of his
throat. However. Mr.. Phibrook kindly
thanked his friends and hoped all
would make themselves at home. which
they did and from that time until the
small hours. singing. dancing and
games were kept IN.
Mr.. Chas. Ward. Mrs. Will knowles

WASHINGTON LETTER.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, MAY 18TH. 1899.
Extra session talk is much less posi-
tive than it was a week ago. But this
is probably accounted for by the alb
sence of the President and the few Sen.
atols and Representatives at present in
Washington, rather than by any lessen
ing of the probabilities for an extra
session. Some men who ought to know
say that an extra session will depend
upon how coon Gen. Otis can force
Agulnaldo to surrender-he is now try
ing to do some more negotiating. They
argue that the President cannot deter
mine what to recommend in the way Of
Congressional legislation for the Phil
ippines until we have peaceable control
of the islands, and that he will not call
congress in extra session unless he sees
his way clear to making such recon-
mendation. But without considering
the Philippines at all, there are strong
reasons in favor of Congress meeting a
month or two earlier than usual. 1t
will be at least a month after Congress
meets before the House committees will
be appointed, owing to the election Of a
new Speaker; and next year being Pres
idential year, the politicians. regardless
of party would like to have Congress
adjourn before the National Conventions
are held. This it can scarcely do, if it
does not get down to business before the
LIST of January.
No idea has been received 80 enthusi.
astically in Washington, for long time,
as that for tie purchase of home for
Admiral Dewey, at the National Capt.
tai, by popular subscription. Every
body is in favor OF it, and everybody
expresses desire to contribute. When
Admiral Dewey arrives in the United
States, which he says in about four
months, he will probably have per-
formed his last sea duty. From that
time, until his death, his duty as the
ranking officer of the Navy will be per-
formed in Washington He has no
means other than his salary, which
would not be sufficient for him to pur-
chase Washington home in keeping
with his rank; hence the desire Of the
people to show their appreciation of his
great services by giving him one.

Hampshire, gives the following word

selected to preside oyer the House; VI

JUSTLY lNcRNsED.-Mr Charles Shipley
sends us the following letter in reference to
his standing reward for the detection of the
mountain fire bugs:
Baltimore, Md, May 18th, 1899.
Mr.. Cassell,
My dear Sir:
Please change my figures Of $4,000
reward for the conviction of the villain or
villains who set fire to my mountain land TO
$50 90 reward and let the figures be 10 larger
type; perhaps this might induce some know
ing one tn inform on the culprit, and no
money would pay more freely than to find
such out and put him or them in the peniten'
tiary where they would have no mountains
IN act fire.
Yours truly,
CHAS. SIMPLIFY.
That the recent fires were purposely set
there can be no doubt and as thousands Of
dollars worth of property was destroyed, 1t
can only be viewed in exactly the same light
a. the setting on fire Of house or barn; both
are property and morally the one act is no
less criminal than the other. We do not
believe that the perpetrator has ever stopped
to consider the n after in this, the true light.
ELECTRIC RAILRoAD.-On Saturday last
party OF Hagerstowners went over the pro.
posed Myersville Hagerstown electric rail-
road extension. They dined in Frederick
City and the after dinner speeches scintiated
with wit and sarcasm.
Judged Stake referred to the building Of
the road as the annexation of Frederick to
Hagerstown: VIM. P. Maulsby asserted that,
contrary to the accepted status of affairs hu.
man, somebody was left in Eden when Adam
was expelled that their descendants held
and peopled it and that 1t is now known as
Frederick. COL Fisher erected centre pole
upon which to hang the sky and that pole Is
planted in Hagerstown's public square. Mr..
John w. Stonebraker, miller, has promised
to take $4,000 bushels OF Frederick county
wheat If the electric road is built and pay
three cents a bushel more than market price
for it: this is per cent on $4,000 and the
farmers along the route will likely invest
that much in stock, as per cent is Of itself
a fair return on the Investment.
The Hsgerstown papers are saying that
the road will be built the Frederick papers
seem skepticsl. 1t looks as though one
desires it and the other does not. In the
meantime vas is los nit F, T. & N. and the

In accordance with a call issued by
Mrs. May Wright Sewall, Chairman Of
the American Branch of the lnterna-
tional Women's Peace Committee, a
mass meeting was held In Washington
yesterday for the purpose of adopting a
resolution Of sympathy for the ultimate
success of the object Of the Cars disar.
mament conference which meets at the
Hague this week. A copy Of the reso-
luton adopted was cabled to the Amer
lean delegation to the conference.
Senator Fairbanks, who ls chairman
of the Joint High Commission for the
settlement of questions in dispute be-
tween the United States and Canada
says there is not word of truth in the
publication that inability to agree upon
the Alaskan boundary had resulted III
an abandonment of the Commission. He
saws the commission will reassemble
August 18th, at Ottawa, in accordance
with the resolution adopted previous to
adjournment. several months ago, and
that he is confident it will reach an a.
greement, both on the boundary ques-
ton and upon the tariff on Canadian
lumber. So confident is Senator Fair
banks of this, that he is going to Alaska
for the purpose Of gathe ring personal
information for the American Commits
sioners upon matters relating to the
boundary about which there is doubt
owing to wide differences in the state
ments made by interested parties on
both sides.

the Smithsonian Institution, who has
the spending Of the $25 900, appropria'
ted by Congress, for experiments in
aerial navigation, tested a big machine,
near Washington, several days ago, and
that the test was not as satisfactory as
it was expected to be, the large machine
failing to give as good results as the
small one tried year ago. But that is
as much as can be positively SAID. Prof.
Langley declines to make a statement
for publication.
