Our society has never levied more than eleven
assessments in any one year. In 1897, 1895 and
1899, we had only ten assessments annually.
We exclude all the Southern States and all
cities having populations in excess of soo.-

territory.
By keeping our organizing deputies "everlast-

other society in the world. By growing we
keep down the average age, which keeps
down the death rate, tnus preventing the
number of assessments from increasing.

Ii Time .! Peace
Prepare !ar Vs'.

The repeated reverses experienced by
our British cousins in their conflict With
the sturdy Beers on the banks of Tugela
and Kopjes OF Natal. may rightly to some
extent be attributed TO the failure of heed
ing the precept inculcated by that sage
and well-founded adage, ''ln time of
peace prepare for war. We will not
just now. however. enter into discussion
as to whose shoulders the fault may be
thrust upon, but will draw at the object
lesson derived from the subject at hand.
1t is not directed at nations alone but is
equally applicable to every living indi-
'vidual in ordinary civic life as a splendid
guide to success.
And may it be understood right here
that. as wide-awaSe people. we will not
let ourselves be caught mapping by gentle
Spring on its prospective arrival. AS
usual. we are going to be in the lead and
prepare forit bright and early. In order
TO accomplish our object in view it will
necessarily require ready cash to secure
goods at "our prices" and then room
for the accommodation OF large Spring
Stock to follow. We shall have it at
any cost!

ST. JOHNS COLLEGE.
A Large Delegation Before The Joint
Committees of Finance.

An important delegation of the alumni
and friends OF ST. Johns College went
before the joint committees on finance
and ways and means yesterday afternoon
to promote the bill now pending in the
Senate, which bill provides fifty-two addi-
iional partial scholarships at the College.
The delegation was presented by DIR.
Thomas Fell. president of the College,
who invited Mr.. James M. Munroe to
speak in regard 10 the claims OF the Col
lege for support by the State, based upon
the original terms of the Charter. He
was followed by Mr.. w. |. Dawkins, of
baltimore city. who dwelt upon the ne
cessity of providing for higher education
as part OF the system of State education.
and pointed out that the appropriation. il
granted. would occasion an almost infini-
tesimal increase in the rate OF taxation.
Mr.. Blanchard Randall spoke of the
advantages of education obtained at An
napolis. where the cosmopolitan charac-
ter OF the city could not fail TO broaden
the minds and sympathies OF students.
He emphasized the importance OF making
the College worthy of its traditional crest
ige. by providing adequate means to
carry on its work. He also referred to
the excellent condition OF affairs at pres
ent prevailing at the College under the
present administration. MIR. p. II. Tuck.
of Baltimore city. made an eloquent ad-
dress upon the honors obtained by past
and present alumni OF the College and
spoke OF their ciedi, and glory as reflect
ing back upon the State which had given
them birth and then equipped them for
their life's work.
Mr.. ]. Writ Randall closed the hear
ing with statement explanatory of the
bill and its provisions. and with an earn
est appeal to the committees to present it
with favorable report. As the interests
OF Annapolis are so closely associated
with those Of the College. it is to be
hoped that the General Assembly will
give its thoughtful attention TO the argu-
ments of the delegation. so that the State
Capital may be further enriched by the
advancement of this time -honored insti-
tuition OF learning. whose sons have al
