The grsasursr's Bill.

On our first page there Is the full text
Of the Act providing for q change in the
system of collecting taxes in st. Mary's
county. This is the so-called Treasurer's
Bill. It was introduced by ,Mr. Garner,
February 7th; reported favorably Feb
ruary 14th; considered on second read
ing, February 10Th and, on motion Of
Mr.. Garner made order of the day for
February Goth. On the Goth il was again
postponed, and on motion of Mr.. Garner
made order of the day for Tuesday, Feb
ruary 27th. On that date was consid-
cred and on motion of Mr.. Garner made
order Of the day for March 9th. On
March 9th was read second time, amend
ed and ordered engrossed for third
reading. On March 18th was read third
time and passed by the House. On
March 14th was read first time in Senate.
On the Goth Of March it was reported
favorably by Senate Committee with
proposed amendments and the amend
ments adopted. March 27th, it was read
third time by the Senate and passed.
This record shows that the bill was
not hurried through. The Senate
amendments changed the month for the
beginning of the Treasurer's term from
May to July; made the Tax Collectors
pay over to county Commissioners in
stead of the Treasurer changed the time
of taxes falling due from November to
September changed the limit for max
ing levy for delinquent taxes from June
to January and changed from July to
February the time of advertising, giving
Treasurer power to extend the limit of
time for advertising to June. These
changes, We understand, were made after
Mr.. ]. T. Ballenger, President of the
Board of County Commissioners, had
read and examined the bill and at his
suggestion. Mr.. Garner requested every
gentleman from the county who came to
Annapolis, while the bill was pending,
to examine it.

The Annual Meeting Of the National
Educational Association this year will
be held at Charleston, 8. c., July 7th to
18th. The meeting viii be Of an unusu-
ally interesting character, and will no
doubt be very helpful to those teachers
who are sufficiently interested in their
profession to attend.
Last year the Association met at Los
Angeles, California, and it was thought
for long time that this years meeting
would be held in Boston, but after hard
work the South has captured the prize
and no better selection could have been
made than Charleston, situated as it is
on wide bay only few miles from the
Atlantic Ocean, whose cool breezes very
decidedly temper the heat of the day,
and make the nights cool and pleasant
The Isle of Pines, situated directly on
the Ocean, and connected with Charles
ton both by steamers and electric cars,
is an ideal seaside resort, where much of
the time will be spent:
The arrangements for the trip for the
teachers from this State are in the hands
Of III. M. Hebden, who has decided after
consultation with a number Of those who
are going, to leave Baltimore on Thurs
day July 5th, at p. n. on one o. the
Merchant and Miners steamers Cf the
Savannah Line.
The party will reach Savannah, Ga,
on Sunday morning, a3d after a short
stay will proceed to Charleston by rail.
Returning, the teachers may use the same
route or arrangements will be made for
them by rail. Those who prefer to go
both ways by rail can also be accomo-
dated.
Extremely low rates have been made
by the Transportation Go apanies and it
is expected that quite large party will
go from this State. as the pleasures to be
derived from sea trip at this season of
the year, when the ocean is on its best
behavior, should not be missed.
The opportunity presented this year
at this meeting to hear the ablest men of
the country on educational issues should
not be lost by any wide-awake teacher
who can afford the expense.

The ancients believed that rheumatism
was the work of demon within a man.
Any one who has had an attack of sciat-
ic or inlammatory rheumatism will
agree that the infliction is demoniac
enough to warrant the belief. 1t has
never been claimed that Chamberlain
Pain Balm would cast out demons, but
it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony TO the.truth of this state
ment. One application relieves the
pain and this quick relief which it af-
fords is alone worth many times it cost.

xuptiai Mass On the Island.
(Reported for the Bcaoon-l


To one Syho looks back but few
years and remembers when there was no
Catholic church on Sc. Georges Island
and the pastor at that time, dear old
Father Gaffney, was Obliged TO say Mass
out in the open under tree. the scene
enacted last Sunday was truly startling.
A handsome church, well filed with de-
vout worshippers. the altar ablaze with
lights and brilliant with the beautiful
spring flowers and Nuptial High Mass
being celebrated with as much exactness
on the part of priest and choir as one
would find in the grandest cathedral.
An old gentleman who had crossed over
the channel to be present at Mass was
heard to say If any one had told me
such scene was to be enacted here to-
day ] would have answered, Fairy talk p
The occasion was regular church Sun
day on the Island but on account of the
recent marriage in Baltimore of Mr.. Jo-
seph G. Hobbs to Miss Mary Mabel
Duke il was determined TO have q Nup-
tial Mass celebrated in order that the
newly welded pair might participate in
the full blessing of the church and that
an opportunity might be afforded their
fellow Islanders. with whom both are so
deservedly popular, to participate more
f-lly in their JOY.
The music Of the MISS was by the
composer Battman and was rendered by
the full choir Of st. Michael's Church at
the Ridge To say that the choir re-
peated its success of the Sunday before
at st. Inigo's, and that of Easter at St.
MichaePs, is to say that the music was
exceptional both for exactness and
sweetness. The soloists were Misses
Maizy Claggett, Lila Smith. Katie Raley
and Mr.. Lawrence Williams. Miss Daisy
Bohanan presided at the organ and to
her efforts in training the choir and to
her musical skill acquired during long
years of study under Sister Mary Cathe.
rine at the Academy is the great success
of last Sunday due. Mr.. John Niepold,
director and leader of the Frederick
City Orchestra, accompanied the entire
Mass on the cornet
After the Pater Noster when the newly
married couple knelt at the altar to re-
ceive the solemn and expressive blessing
of the church and Mr. Niepold accom-
panied by Miss Bohanan on the organ
played so sweetlY on the cornet % Spon-
sa Mr the effectiveness of the scene was
one long to be remembered by those so
fortunate as to be present.
Altogether, it was the third red-letter
day in the history at the church on the
Island. The first being the day of its
conservation, September "a, 1S93-the
second red-letter day was the first visit
and administration of Confirmation to a
class of20 by the Bishop on June 10, 1893,
and the third was last Sunday when the
celebration of the first, Nuptial Mass
took place.
To the newly welded pair it was an
exceptional day of pleasure, we feel sure,
and both were the recipients of heartfelt
congratulations. That they may ever
look back to this happy day as the first
of long series of conjugal felicity is
the fervent wish of

LINCOLN'S ANSWER TO CARL
SCHJJRZ

| A prominent New Havener requests
that the following from the New York
Sun be reprinted as exceedingly pat
and appropriate reading: Mr.. Car
Schurz made long speech at Cooper
Union last night in which he assailed
President Mckinley. and denounced the
policy of his administration.
1t Is appropriate therefore that this
letter of Abraham Lincoln to this same
Mr. Carl Schurz should now be read
again by the people. 1t was written
thirty-eight years ago, having been
dated Nov. "a, 1862. or in the second
year of the war for the Union:
Il have just received and read your
letter Of the goth. The purport Of 1t
was that we lost the late election and
the administration is failing because
the war Is unsuccessful, and that I
must not fatter myself that I am not
justly to blame Cor it.
II certainly know that If the war
fails the administration fails, and that
/ will be blamed for 1t, whether I de-
serve 1t or not And ought to be
blamed If could do better. You think
I could do better; therefore you blame
me already. / think could not do bet
ter; therefore l blame you for blaming
me
II understand you now to be willing
to accept the help of men who are not
republicans, provided they have heart
in tt Agreed. I want no others. But,
who is to be the Judge of hearts, or Of
heart in IT.? If T must discard my
own Judgment and take yours, I must
also take that of others; and by the
time I should reject all 1 should be adj
vised to reject, l should have none left,
republicans or others-not even your
self
For be assured, my dear sir. there
are men who have heart In IT that
think you are performing your part as
poorly as you think I am performing
mine"
We have printed this before, but
it bears reading many times as an ex-
hibition of the spirit of the patient, for
bearing humorous Lincoln under the
abiding of chronic Pathfinder who
owed to him only gratitude and pro-
found respect.
Besides, It has special application
to the long speech of Mr.. Carl Schurz
last night.

CROSS COUNTRY RUNNERS.

It has been decided not to call out
the candidates for the Yale Cross Coun-
try club team until after the fall track
games which will be held on Saturday,
October 81, on Yale field. The Yale
team, which will be decided upon dur
ing the trials of November, will be en-
tered in the annual intercollegiate cross
country run, to be held at Morris Park,
New York, on Thanksgiving day.
But three of last years team are in
college at Yale, namely, B. G.. Teel,
1902; w. D. Waldron, 1908, and G. G..
Parkhurst, 1904 These three men will
probably make the team again. That
will leave Four vacancies.
The plan is to hold daily runs from
Yale field out toward Woodbridge, as
was done last year, the men making
the best scores, of course, being chosen
for the team. Yale won one meet and
Cornell the other Of the two thus far
held.

RETIRED BROKERS' SUICIDE.

Robert McCurdy Lord Found Dead.
New York, Oct. 2-Robert McCurdy
Lord. a retired broker was found dead
in house on Chester Hill, Mount Ver-
non, which was recently rented by him,
last night. There was every indication
that he had committed suicide He
was found in the bath room, the door
of which had been locked The gas
was turned on and paper had been
pasted around the doors and windows.
Mrs Lord had received a letter from
her husband telling her that he had
sent her his watch and the money he
had in his pocket by express and that
she must not take his death too hard,
as it was all for the best.
One page reads:
Don't give way to grief; take every
thing for the best"
There was no cause assigned for the
act; no hint of Illness. etc.
Robert McCurdy Lord was guardian
of his brother, Henry J. Each was left
a fortune by their mother. The father
died years ago in Kansas City, The
Lords had three uncles, all of whom
live in Connecticut and are in different
aff1uent circumstances. Suicide is said
to run in the family. -Four members
have died victims of their own, hands,
it is said. One was an aunt, another
a cousin, and still another an uncle.
Their deaths, like Roberts, was mys-
terious.
A motive for the suicide of Robert c.
Lord is said to be the fact that having
lost all his fortune he could not provide
for his wife and family as he had been
accustomed to, and by taking his own
life they would come into possession of
$4,000 life insurance.
