ATTENDANCE IN DAYS.
KILLED BY THE CARS.

The body of white man wasfound on
Sunday morning on the railroad tracks
of the Baltimore and Ohio near Brad
shaw. In his pockets were two letters
one addressed to John Walkoing, Havre
de Grace, and another to the same name
in Baltimore. A coroner's jury rendered
a verdict of accidental death.
The body was first seen by the crew of
a freight train, and from the pieces of
clothing along the track, it must have
been dragged some distance. Both legs
and arms were broken, the head was
crushed, the teeth broken out and the
body cut in two. The mans clothing
was torn to pieces. Fourteen dollars
and eighty-one cents and two pocket
knives were found. The body was put
in box and turned over to the Balti-
more county authorities. An effort to
locate any of the mans friends by the
addresses on the envelopes failed.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD.

The Academy of Music announces that
Charles Frohman has arranged to pre-,
sent for six nights only, beginning next
Monday evening, for the first time on any
stage dramatization by E. F. Boiling
ton of Mary Johnson's remarkably popu-
lar novel, ITO have and To Hold" max
ing the second production of Importance
that Mr.. Frohman presented at that
theatre since the opening of the current
season. The production will be under
taken in four acts and nine scenes, all of
which have been expressly constructed
and painted for the productionina accord
ance with the novel. The familiar char
acters to be introduced suggest the COM
pleteness with which the book will be in
terpreted. That the Monumental City
should have been selected by Mr.. Froh-
man for the premier of this production, is,
by his own admission, attributable to
the uniform appreciation with which his
productions have been received by its
citizens as the recent instance of Maude
Adams in L'Aiglon. The locals of the
story might, however, have prompted
Mr.. Frohman to confer upon Baltimore
the initial offering of the production.
However this may the management of
the Academy is content that its compli-

DROWNED AT rAVRE DE GRACE.

Arthur Boyd, son of conductor Amos
A. Boyd, of the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore Railroad, was drown
ed on Saturday afternoon while skating
on the Susquehanna river near Havre de
Grace
On the river there were probably 300
skaters. Among the number was young
Boyd, who informed some of his COM
panions that, owing to his skates not
staying on, he would take them off and
go home. Nothing was thought of the
missing lad until about o'clock, when
he failed to returned home. His parents,
together with a number of neighbors
started to make search for him, and
were awarded with finding his cap and
glove under the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad bridge near
Perryville. The search was kept up until
his body was found by means of hooks.
His remains were brought to shore, and
in his hands were clasped one glove and
his skates His watch had stopped at
$50, and that is presumed to be the time
the accident occurred.
Strange to say, in spite of the number
of skaters on the river when young Boyd
started to walk to his home, no one was
aware of his accident. Young Boyd was
a student of the Cecil county high school
Of Elkton.

Extra Session Needed.

REcKoRD, February 14:-The farmers
OF this immediate section have passed the
greater part of the winter in congratu-
lating themselves upon their lucky escape
from being carried down in the wreck of
the 4; Milk Producers Association and other
failures: Judging from their late expert
ence with the association the farmers
should know better IN the future than to
believe that concern whose affairs are
conducted in so loose manner, and that
does not include all the producers, cannot
possibly be success.
The much talked OF but long delayed
extra session of the Legislature seems to
be the cause of much comment in all parts.

IN MEMORIAM.

In memory of Mrs. Julia A. Stull, who
died at the residence of her daughter, neal
Bel Air, on January %, aged "a years,
months and 25 days.
Have you a mother? Love her well
While she is spared on earth;
Wait not till death shall call her hence
To know her precious worth.
Wait not till she lies cold and still.
Most beautiful, though dead,
To think of what you should have done
before her dear life fed.
Think now how much she should be loved
And prize her as you ought,
Or else your life when she is gone
With sorrow shall be fraught.
o watch her, guard her with your love
While with you she is left,
For when she leaves your life will seem
Of every joy bereft.
o sooth her in her hour of pain,
Be gentle and be mild;
How sweet twill be for you to think
You've been faithful child.
Mother at rest.

EDUCATION IN PORTO RICO.

The expense OF maintaining schools in
Porto Rico is very high, if we consider
the amount spent for the small number
of pupils enrolled; but as that country is
gradually brought in closer touch with
our own, their system will evidently be
changed, until it reaches our present
state of perfection. In this country the
people are being educated to the fact,
that there is a sure cure for dyspepsia,
indigestion, constipation, liver and kid
ney troubles, and that medicine is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. 1t should be
taken at the very first symptom, if you
would avoid unnecessary suffering. 1t
will give prompt relief and eventually
cure, as hundreds of people, including
many prominent physicians, have testi-
fed during the past fifty years.
