AnO her Pleasant Entertainment.

We had occasion lately to mention the
elegant crystal wedding anniversary in
the Upper Forest given " Mr.. and
Mrs Frank G. Addison, and now comes
another, like the November shooting
stars, Immediately after.
Dr. and Mrs. James T. Perkins, of
Springfield, threw open their hospitable
home on the 18th instant, in honor of
their guest Miss Marine, of Baltimore. an
accomplished cousin of the DR..
Every variety of the menu comforts
abounded from delicious salad, ices etc,
to the ubiquitous punch bowl eXhala-
tons. The hostess decorated with the
jewels of her Scottish ancestry shone all
the more attractive with her cordial
greeting to heI many friends. Mine host
the DR.. was as ever delighted with his
company and expressed the pleasure it
gave him in numberless ways.
Among those who attended were MIR.
and Mrs. Frank G. Addison, Mr. and
Mrs. G. c. Magruder. Mr.. and Mrs. Tug
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. John NJ.

MIR. Mudd's Strange Delay.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun" from Washington says: The Fifth
Maryland Congressional district is still
without representation at West Point.
This is MIR. Mudd's district, and for two
years he has appeared indifferent to hav-
ing cadet at the Military Academy. He
offers no explanation to the War Depart
ment for his failure to make nominations,
although repeatedly notified of his right
to an appointment.
1t is an unusual thing for Il member of
Congress to fail to make examinations
when he is entitled to them at both West
Point and Annapolis. The gift of cadet
ship is considered by members as among
the most desirable appointments at their
disposal. They are appointments that can
be made either for political reasons or
r'rsonal, Lut very often politics plays an
important part in securing the places for
young men.
Only Is vacancies for the class that re-
ports next June now remain untitled, and
mated for them in the next few weeks
Mr. Mudd has until next spring to make
selection, but if he intends sending a cadet
to the Military Academy it would be bet
ter he be appointed early, in order that he
may have time to prepare himself for the
severe entrance examinations. No APP
pointments to Annapolis can be made after
March 4th each year, and the candidates
are required to report for examination on
Nav 18th following

Story of Il Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst form
of slavery. George d. Williams, of
Manchester, Mich, tells how such a slave
was made Tree. He says: My wife has
been so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone. After
using two bottles Of Electric Bittcrs, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, slceplessncss, melancholy, headache,
backache, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a godscnd
to weak, sickly, run down people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only so cents Sold

The above is the title of recent work
by Rev. c. Ernest Smith, ID. D., Rector
of the Church Of St. Michael and All

less, suggested by Il slight controversy,
which occurred some years ago between

ming, or the subject of the early religions
history of Maryland 1t deals in an i'm
partial spirit with this important subject,
is written in a delightful style and pre-
sents an interesting picture of the early
history the Maryland colonists. To per
sons dwelling in this section of the State
the book ought to be of peculiar interest.

Why the COnfcdcracy Failed.

Joel Chandler Harris contributes to the
Post an authentic account of the DARN G
attempt to warn the Confederate cabinet
of the great movement whereby Grant and
Sherman were to co operate in crushing
the Confederacy. How the attempt failed
and why it failed are the subjects of a
chapter of the little known history of the
Secret Service. Mr. Harris has his facts
first hand, and he has woven them into a
story of such absorbing interest that it
might easily be mistaken for pure fiction.

be on all newsstands December 21st
