n ir1nu vi
very ENJOYABLE entertainment was
piycn in the Town Hall on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings of this week under
the direction of Mr.. l.. Edwin Sinclair, of
Oakland California. 1t was entitled a
"Grand Carnival of Novelties" the pro-
gramme of which was published i'll our
last issue. Mr. Sinclair exhibited won
derful ability in arranging the entertain
ment, and his corps of assistants reflected
great credit upon themselves and upon
their manager On the first evening Mrs.
A. M. Coffman furnished the accompany
ing music for the drills and songs, and on
the second evening Miss Mary l.. Wilson
contributed this pleasing feature OF the
entertainment The tablcauN were great
" admired. Misses Winnie Redmiles,
Alice Ridgeway, and Hattie Harris formed
beautiful trio and their posing was con-
sidered the finest ever seen here. The
little Misses Rosie and Mabel Ryon, as
The Little Outcasts," in five scenes, were
remarkably good. The Rose Fcte' by the
Young ladies and the Lantern Drill by
the boys were unique and interesting.
Two laughable comedies, entitled
Wanted, Wife," and THE Long Dis
lance Telephone" created great amuse-
ment. Messrs L. E. Sinclair, c. c. Gran
dell, NJ. H. Magruder, S. c. Crawford,
Gardiner Coale, and Brooke Harper com
nosed the castles. Mr.. c. c. Crandell
caused great merriment by his excellent
and most amusing rendition of the darkey
characters of pete and "Sambo.' ln
fact, all the parts were unusually well
nlayed. Mr.. NJ. Hampton Magruder, as
Mrs. Petwinkle in the first play and as
the Yankee Farmer in the second, was ex-
tremcly happy. He was too sick on We'd
nesday evening to appear, but the parts
were well taken by S. c. Crawford. Mas
ter Brooke Harper as suffering Tin was
also fine.
THE Merry Green Fields of Ireland
sung by Misses Daisy Smith, Della Miller,
Bessie Sweeney Maud Martin and Tillie

\ Progressive Town.

Mr.. EnIToR:-Being stranger, and 4
Soiourner for Il while in Marlboro ii may
be of interest to the readers of your paper
to know the impression made upon "A'
mi,.i, at least, by this attractive little town
Situated in ''Southern Maryland, 4
name synonymous with warm hearts and
hospitable thoughts, it stands pre-cmnent
among the little villages scattered thro
this section. In a county whose limits
touch the District of Columbia, it is, SO to
speak, under the shadow of the Capital OF
the Union, with which it is in daily com
muncation thro' its railroad facilities;
the Chesapeake Beach Railroad bringing
it within an hours run of Washington,
and the Pope's Creek line forming & con-
nectin g link with both Washington and
Baltimore, thus affordng a fine market
for the farm and dairy produce OF the sur
rounding neighborhood, as well as every
other advantage which a close connection
with such important cities must bring.
The spirit of enterprise and Improvement
is abroad in the community. The farmers
THAT important factor of every progressive
country have their Club" which meets
once a month to consult together as to the
best methods of making farming pay, and
by cooperation and energy are rapidly
enhancing the value of the farm lands
around Marlboro Within the town
showing that the lawyers too are in the
march of progress, are to be seen neat,
new offices in the process of building, and
on conspicuous corner stands the bank
of Southern Maryland, a fine, substantial
bull ding, which, from all accounts, is as
substantial financially as it looks to be
materially. There are some fine old coun-
try places in the vicinity of Marlboro that
would make most desirable summer resi-
dences for persons who desire a pleasant
neighborhood for their families within
easy access of the city. With regard to
the social features of Marlboro, the gen
eral idea seems to be that 'no profit is,
where is no pleasure ia en- and whilst |
not neglecting the ''weighter matters"
they enjoy life in social gatherings, and |
arc Ion hospitable thoughts intent con-
tinually. To those who are looking for a |
home where culture and refinement are to |
be found combined with business facilities |
| would say, in closing, come to Marlboro.

Aunt" Peggy Dorsey, faithful old
coored servant in the family of Mr..
William II. Harper, for over twenty two
years, died at the Marlboro House, on
Friday, aged about seventy-siX. She be-
longed to Mrs Harper's father and was
nurse to his large family, so for two gene
rations she has been a faithful caretaker
and is great loss to her employers. The
funeral which was was TO have taken
place from the Methodist Church, on Sun
day, was delayed as Mr.. Armstrong could
not get his hearse over the snowdrifts.
She was buried on Monday, the Messrs.
Harper acting as her pail bearers
Gazette
The wheat, which is already peeping G
out in patches from under the snow, has
evidently been greatly benefited by its
winter covering. As a saying in the
country goes. Snow is the poor mans
fertilizer" On rich land, as we'll as in
sterile soil, the wheat crop gets reset and
a fresh start while covered up in winter S
white mantle. The present great snow
came just at the right time, the farmers
say, to do whea; the most good after the
alternate freezing and thawing earlier in
in the winter which had badly thrown"
it out. This snow found the ground very
little frozen, so that now as the snow
melts the roots have a chance to take hold
again and reset themselves.
Judge Stake of Washington county,
has decided that the statue requiring costs
to be paid below before an appeal can be
taken is unconstitutional, for the consti-
tuition says justice shall be speedy, free,
and is not to be bought. A man is guaran-
teed jury trial, and cannot be compell-
ed to pay for it. This is regarded as be-
ing a very important decision, and differs
from the opinion held by the Court of
Appeals and other judges of the state.
Heretofore cases coming from magistra-
ties were promptly killed if they got on
the docket with the costs below unpaid
But now according of Judge Stakes de-
cision, the loser before a magistrate can
appeal his case, have it tried, and let the
final loser pay all the costs.

Institute at BeltSVillc.

The farmers of the upper section OF
this county held an institute at Beltsville
on Wednesday. Mr.. ]. d. Cassard, of
Muirkirk, presided.
The topics discussed were Market Gar
dening," by John Miller, of Chillum !;
"Market Gardening Under Glass" by Col.
Wright Rives: Fruit Culture" by L. D.
Creel. of Indiana Soil Renovation" by
DR.. H. H. Wiley, of Washington, D. c.;
Duties of Farmers and Citizens" by
Prof. Richard H. Alvey. of the Maryland
Agricultural College; "A Word to Par
ents," BY Mrs. Edward \. Robinson, of
Baltimore; Cattle Feeding by William
Holmead, of Washington; stock Rails
ing" by Representative O'Connell, of
Iowa.
The correspondent Of the Baltimore
"Sun' says "Dr. Richard S. Hill of Up
per Marlboro closed the institute with an
address on "Immigration for Maryland"
He called attention to the feature of the
MARYLAND immigration law which makes
it mandatory upon the State superb nten-
dent of immigration to spend four months
of each year in Europe in the prosecution
of his work He expressed the belief that
nine-tcnths of the farmers of the State,
himself included, were unalterably OPP
posed to this feature of the act. He
thought also he expressed the sentiment
of Marylanders generally when he stated
that the farm laborer of Holland ought
not to be brought in contact with Mary
land labor of similar kind He spoke of
the feature of a bill passed some years
since authorizing corporations for the
purpose of establishing colonies compos
ed of foreigners, and expressed the belief
! this would bring disaster upon the farm
ing population of Maryland. He suggest
ed remedy by amending legislation so
as to require visit to other sections of
the United States instead of Europe.
He said: Let the people from New Eng
land and the Middle States come among
u.s. These men are now among our most
prominent and influential citizens. Let
| them come as our fellow citizens, and not
in colonies to impair and paralize the
| farm labor of our own State.

Another great discovery has been made,
and that too, by lady in this country.

undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed incessant-
ly, and could not sleep. She finally dis
covered a way to recovery, by purchasing
of us bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much re-
leved on taking first dose, that she slept
all night: and with two bottles. has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.

name sentiment of this free nation in their
behalf
The three thousand prisoners released
last week only represent one-half OF the
number who have been ncarcerated since
the riots last spring. In the court-mar-
