Orangeville, 18th District.-It has been
the custom for some time past for several
hundred Bohemians and Polish Jews to con-
gregate on Sunday at their cemetery on the
Philadelphia road, near Herring Run, and re-
gale themselves with foaming lager and other
liquid refreshments, it is said, without license
and indulge in amusements of an unlawful
character. These festal occasions received
their quetus for q time at least, last Sunday
afternoon. During the forenoon wagon load
after wagon load of this much bewhiskered
gentry were seen vending their way out the
Philadelphia road toward their haven of rest
ard recreation. Subsequent events go to
prove, however, that their day of pleasure was
destined to come to an untimely and inglorious
end. When everything was under full head
way Patrolmen Mann and Bell and Con,
stable Pfeffer attired in citizens dress, dropped
in and after securing sufficient evidence, re-
vealed their identity by proceeding to round up
the assemblage. AS result OF the raid i've
men with unpronouDceable names were ar
rested and taken before Justice Rever, of
Highlandtown. Three were charged with
conducting game of draw poker, and were
fined 81 and costs, which was paid. The re-
manning two were charged with selling liquor
on Sunday and without license and were re-
leased on bail for court. An orchestra OF ten
pieces was busily engaged furnishing music
for the light fantastic, but when the presence
of the officers was made known they took to
the woods and made good their escape.
The big fire at Canton, on Friday night of
last week, afforded an excellent object lesson
Gf one were needed,) of the inability of the
present fire.fghting force in this section to
successfully cope with large confagration.
The fact that such fires are of infrequeDt oc-
curence in these parts should not deter the
citizens of Canton and Highlandtown from
making every legitimate effort to have the
steam fire engine, now housed at the latter
place, put in service at once. A similar con-
Migration may occur in Highlandtown at any
time and the contemplation of the possible
results, with only our present equipment to
battle with the flames, is appalling. Surely it
ought not to require a Demosthenes to con-
vince our fathers in Towson that this addition
to the county fire department is necessary.
Here is an excellent opportunity for the High
landtown improvement Association to win
new laurels.
The cornerstone of st. Paups English
Lutheran Church, northwest corner Clinton
and Pratt streets, Highlandtown, was laid
with impressive ceremonies last Sunday after
noon. Rev. William L. Kibler, pastor of the
church, conducted the services. He was as
sisted by Revs. Lubenstin, Mang and Snapp,
of Baltimore. \ copper box, containing sever
al books, of UNCONVENTIONAL character and
some church documents, were deposited in the
stone. The new edifce will be of frame, one
story high, with brick foundation, and will
cost about $1,000. ***

and followed by sixty uniformed Knights of

members, accompanied by altar boys dressed
in white and crimson, carrying crosses, ETC.

band playing beautiful hymns as the process
sion proceeded. After impressive services in
the woods three guns were fired simultaneously.

attracted universal attention. After the SER
vices the Knights and members of the band
retired to the hall and partook of bountiful
luncheon which they enjoyed with keen appe-
tites.

barbecue on the Fourth. Plenty of roast OK
was provided and those who attended had
good time.
The farmers have about finished cutting
grass and grain and while this work was in
progress binders and mowers could be heard
in every direction. The hay crop is very
short in this section, due to lack of rain, and
l fear some will be disappointed in the wheat
yield.

who cannot speak very good English, but who
makes an excellent effort in that direction,
was showing female friend few days ago
Low she had worn small hole in her shoe.
The friend asked: "Have you any corns?"
No" replied the first, "only cadufel and
limabona." When told of her mistake she
laughed more heartily than any of the others.
The health of Mr.. Henry Jasper. a success
full truck farmer of this neighborhood, has
improved very much.
Since the announcement that gold had been

dications are excellent and he is out prospect
ing every chance he gets. 1t is said when the
Government surveyors were at work through
metals in the earth. Who 'Enows?- We may
vet discover that we have sure enough

Experiments With Lime as a Fertilizer.
Director Patterson, of the Maryland Exper-
iment Station, having conducted many expert
ments at that place with the different forms of
lime and also the quantities and methods OF
applying the same, has found that the best
yields can be obtained with lime in the form of
a carbonate, the finely ground oyster shells
standing first and shell mari second. This
was substantiated when stone lime was APP
piled as a top dressing and given an opportu-
nifty to form carbonate by absorption of car
bonic acid from the atmosphere. 1t has been
noticed that pure magnesium lime, which is
claimed to be poisonous to the soil and crop,
gave the highest yield, and barium oxide,
which is not plant food, produced very near
ly as much increase in the yields as the cal
cium oxide, and more increase than either the
sulphate or phosphate of lime. This indicates
that there was some effect produced on the soil
rather than that the plants needed lime as a
plant food. Lime applied so as to slake in the
soil produced a slightly better total yield than
when first slaked and then narrowed in, and a
comparison of the results obtained show that
stone and shell lime are of about the same
value on the soil. Lime with fertilizer has also
been found to be more profitable than depend
ing upon fertilizer alone and all of the appli-
cations of lime have increased the yields.
Welded in Harrisburg.-Miss Charlotte
Mcclure, of Harrisburg, and Mr.. j. Roberts

of the groom, and the groom by the brides
brother, Mr.. John Mcclure. After receiving
the congratulations of friends and the serving
of refreshments the young couple left amid
showers of rice for Elizabeth, New Jersey,
where they will make their future home.
They were the recipients of many beautiful
and useful presents.
