The farmers of the Eastern Shore

The farmers of the Eastern Shore
not only continue to hold their week
ly meetings, but as will be noticed by
report in this issue, the interest in
same is increasing. The meeting at
Parksley to day will be an especially
important one. 1.-THE committee APP
pointed to draft the working plans
of the Exchange" will make their re.
port and representative men from
every section should be present to
hear, discuss them and suggest such
amendments to the same as they
may deem proper. That the plans
to be submitted to day will be with>
out defects, of course, is not to be eX
pected but it is gratifying to believe
that the leaders in the movement for
better prices for our farm products
if they do not find at once the remedy
which they are seeking, will push
forward until they do find it. That
the movement is worthy the consider
alton of every farmer on the Eastern
Shore cannot be questioned, that it
merits their support, the high char
acter of the men engaged in it and
the practical views already submitted
by them, as to the preparation and
shipment of our produce to market
ought to be enough to convince every
one. We could not do the farmers Of
the Eastern Shore better service, we
believe, if we could convince them
that it is their duty to attend the
meetings, help to adopt the plans
which will be presented, subject to
such notifications as may be deemed
expedient, and to agree after their
adoption to stand by them and give
them trial.

sume command here and hoist his
pennanJ upon the the cruiser New

Admiral Dewey is in his native lanu
again and the welcome given him is
not confined to any section of our
country. The city of New York has
charge of him this week and he can
if he will, head a procession in every
city liz the land, in his honor, later.
Virginia joins in the welcome to the
hero of Manila, has already appro-
priarely celebrated his return by a
salute of seventeen guns by order Oh
the Governor, in the Capitol square
at Richmond aud has, or will extend
him an invitation to visit the sacreo
soil OF the old Dominion. No one, OF
course, objects to the ovation he is
low receiving, or will receive later
nor dispute his greatness and patrio-
tism. He did his duty, promptly and
effectively, and in a way to commend
himself to the American people.
They honor him, however, not as al
imperialist and conqueror OF foreign
nations, but as representative OF
the best type OF American manhood
and for the Iustre he has added to the
American name and character for
the efficient manner in which he dis
charged the duty committed to him
in the late war with Spain.

Baptist Orphanase.

The Baptist Orphanage at this
place is the pride of that large and
influential denomination in Virginia.
1t is now conducted on large and
splendid scale, but it is soon to be
greatly enlarged and improved.
Recently prominent Richmond
Baptist, who does not wish his name
used in that connection: has donated
to the trustees the sum of $4,000 with
which to erect new cottage for the
accommodation of fifty children.
The plans and specifications for this
building have already been adopted,
and the ground will be staked OF
this week, preparatory to beginning
the work of erecting it.
The Portsmouth Association has
made similar donation, for similar
building, and arrangements for its
erection will shortly be inaugurated.
A gentleman from Berkeley, Va,
has also given the trustees $500 with
which to thoroughly equip modern
steam laundry at the Orphanage, the
building for which has already been
erected, and the necessary equip
ments will be purchased at once.
The Orphanage is a noble institu-
ton, nobly conducted land its friends
everywhere will gladly learn of its
increased facilities for usefulness

EUROPE ENJOYS THE
BRITISH PRED|CAMENT
Continued from Page IL

and an investigation is now under way
by the British Government concerning
a polygamous marrying ground in
Canadian territory for Utah believers
in plural wives.
Admirers in chis country Of the
Grand Old Woman of England know
ing we'll her respect for the sacredness
of the marriage relation, will not be
surprised that she has taken up the
fight against a system that only be-
longs 20 barbaric races.
An attache of the british Embassy
has just forwarded the Home Govern
ment full details concerning the prac-
tice of polygamy in the Gretna Green
for Utah Mormons who wish TO live
their religion and at the same time
evade the laws of this country
This Mormon settlement of Card
stOn, Alberta, just over the Canadian
border is known as Little Salt Lake
to the MOrmons. They have founded a
prosperous town and, by means of irri-
CATION, have achieved wonders with
the barren land
Through the investigation carried on
against Roberts and polygamy since
December. 1898, the town of Cards,on
received considerable mention. Utah
Mormons who believe in living the re-
ligion gave the preference to Cardston
to going 10 Mexico when they wished
to take new plural wives. 1t was a
shorS cut to go up through Butte and
Helena, Mont, to Cardston by rail, and
there was then no danger of prosecu
ton.
1t is believed the British Government
will be pleased to turn over 90 the
Taylor committee the records of all
marriages in Cardston since the en-
actment OF the Edmunds-Tucker law,
and steps, have been taken to secure
them if they have not been made way
with. Plural wives of men high up in
the councils of the Mormon Church
have been frequent visitors to Card
ston. The records of births in this
Canadian town is said to be something
phenomenal, but the children soon at
ter found their way back to Utah
1t is now said that the Queen will
not stop her efforts until polygamy has
been stamped out of Canada.
