BALTIMORE, May Is, 1899.
Messrs. Editors viii you kindly al
low space for few q words from an old
friend that always gives welcome to the
BEACON on its arrival, and ever keeps in
memory Its always careful and polite
Editors.
The weather is delightful here. Have
had showers occasionally, which have
been q benefit towards keeping the
dust down. Lexington street. last
night, was crowded to OVERLOOKING.
Youth in ali its beauty was out in full
attire. Among the crowd were some Of
our old st. Mary's friends, Messrs. Can
ter, Goldsborough, Hammett, Collision
and others.
Excitement is more or less an enter
tainer in q great metropolis like this.
Your correspondent at times feels-well,
the blues, in plain English, il what makes
one feel lost from all pleasures and en-
joyments. Therefore, Q stroll down
town has the desired effect of enlighten.
ing the mind, causing n reaction Of
thought, and the so-called blues disap-
pear.
We always enjoy SO much Uncle Ned's
letter, but lately he doesn't mention
Reubin. Hello, Reubinl where are your

Ned, just assist Reubin, and the phone

That's right, and what then? Election.
That's right. What was that on the Sec

We were very much gratified to see
from Thursdays BEACON the very IA
vorable condition Of our esteemed friend,
j. Frank Ford, and truly hope that he
will soon be well as ever and once more
with u.s.
Today being so beautiful, my, how
we would enjoy q drive over Cedar
Point with the ''Girl left behind me-
Now, Messrs. Editors, this being our
first attempt to write for your paper, we
hope your readers viii not criticise the
mistakes and frivolties. and IL we can
find something weekly that we think
may interest them, very likely by look
ing through the columns Of the Beacon
they may see a snap shot.
Whenever you are in town Snap Shot
would be delighted to see you and note
your presence. Il would be better 70
call, perchance you should be seen BY
some one other than SNAP SHoT.

COMMUNICATED.


Messrs. Editors The many friends
of Miss Bicca Cheseldine viii be pleased
to hear Of her appointment In the Office
Of the First Assistant Postmaster Gene
raj At Washington. ~
Miss Cheseldine was for some time
past temporarily employed i'm the De-
partment Of Agriculture, aud while
there became very popular with the
chiefs of the several divisions.
She passed very successful examine
tion under the Civil Service and stood
high in her percentage in Q large
field Of competitors. Il is presumed
that owing to her efficient services rem.
dered while in the Agricultural Depart.
ment, that her appointment was urged
by her relatives in Ohio. who were close.
ly connected with the last Presidential
campaign. j. w. SYKES.
