Got Left.

A party of friends from Colora
and Liberty Grove took trip from
Port Deposit to Baltimore on the
"Susquehanna" last Friday. On
their arrival at Baltimore they pro-
ceeded to edo the town" and be-
came separated. One group of six
ladies and one gent returned to the
wharf just in time to see the boat
swing from her moorings for the
return trip. Their calls of "Mr.
Captain, stop the ship" proved of
no avail, and they were compelled
to wend their way to Union station
to return to Havre de Grace by
rail. Arriving at the station, they
pooled their cash and found them
selves two dollars short of enough
to secure tickets to Havre de Grace.
Luckily one of the ladies was
acquainted with the ticket
agent and exchanged two dollars
worth of acquaintance for carfare,
and they arrived in Havre dc Grace
in time to connect with the boat for
Port Deposit. They landed at Port

A Disastrous Fire.

The village of High Point, Har,
ford county, seven miles from Bel
Air, was nearly wiped out by a
disastrous fire early Saturday morn
ing last. The buildings burned
were store and dwelling COM
bined, new warehouse, black
smith shop and wheelwright shop,
all belonging to William II. Glenn,
and the public school building.
Only buckets were available for
throwing water, and it was impos-
sible to check the progress of the
fire until building after building
had been consumed. The ste re
was conducted by Edward J. Bar
ron & Co., who lost nearly all the
goods contained in it, as well as
those stored in the warehouse and
the shops in the rear of the store.
All the buildings and their con-
tents were partly covered by in
surance, with the exception of the
school building, which is a total
loss.

Young Friends Association.

The "Young Friends Associa.
tion held their regular meeting in
the Town Hall on Firstday after
noon. The subject of elbow shall
we spend our Sabbath Days." was
introduced by Amy Coates, which
was followed by discussion. The
Sabbath, or a day of rest, is needed
for the body from a physical point
of view, and especially it is needed
for the growth and development OF
the soul, the uplight of man.
Much comment followed an inter-
esting paper given by Barclay
Reynold entitled "a moral purpose
in the universe as viewed in the
light of history" Back of all his.
tory, back of the mere conception
of all abstract laws, we are led to
the existence of some controlling,
supreme will. We are forced to
clothe this supreme force with
moral attributes, and this is what
we call God.

Railroad Notes.

The following contemplated i'm
prOvements and changes are re
ported by one of the Baltimore
dailies:
One of the spans Of the Baltimore
u Ohio railroad bridge at Havre de
Grace will be replaced by new
span. This span is over Garrett
Island, in the Susquehanna river.
A survey is now being made for a
track to connect the P, w. 81 B.
railroad and the 3. & O. railroad
4 switch will be PLACED in position
on the B. & O. about one mile west
of Principle Furnace and tracks
will be lad to a point about two
miles east of Perryville to the p,
w. & B. railroad, and all trains,
both Pennsylvania and Baltimore
& Ohio, will go over the p, w. Il
B. bridge until the necessary re-
pairs are completed. Tracks will
also be laid on the Havre de Grace
side of the Susauehanna river to
connect the two roads. The sup
position is that when the work is
completed all trains will he run
over the B. & O. bridge and a new
bridge will be erected to take the
place of the present p, w. & B.
structure over the Susquehanna.

Some Shooting Scores.

The Perryville Record has this to
say regarding its sports:
"In sporting way PERI yville can
certainly hold its own pretty well
with any part Of the county. In
the matter of trotting it has a horse
that will give any of the fast ones a
a brush and a beating too if they
don't move pretty lively. AS to a
friendly bout at boxing, no fistic
artist has to look further for accom-
mediation, while any whoare anxious
for a turn at the weights will be
taken on and when it comes to shoot
ing, it's representatives are not dis
posed to take a back seat till rele.
gated to the rear by better marks
men. Since the organization of the
Perryville Gun club, several years
ago, our town has developed some
good shots. K X x Howard d.
jackson, however, has made the best
record so far. Since taking part in
the inter county shoot at Baltimore
June 81 he has made the following
fine scores: On June 10Th at Perry
vile, he broke 10 out of 20 and
busted the lost target; on July 4th
at Perryville, he got IS out of So;
at Oxford on July 23rd he broke 81
out of 1O6, making the best score of
the shoot; at Rising Sun on July 30
he tied with r. Fl. Blain, noted
shot from Easton, for first honors,
with rs out of so, or a 80 per cent
gait. He broke the first 25 straight
and got "a out of the first 35. AT
Perryville, Aug. 2, he broke "a out
OF rs. A summary of his shooting
shows a remarkably good average,
as he missed only 80 targets out of
total of 291 shot at, making a
record of close to 80 per cent"
Rising Sun does not lay claims on
being a sporting town by any means,
but nevertheless it has the material
to put it in first place whenever de-
sired. In the matter of trotting it
has horse which can pull all Per
ryville past the post. In tennis, it |
has a player who held Bucknell |
college championship two years and |
relinquished 1t voluntarily. InI
baseball, it wins the county cham !!
plonship every time it enters the
lists against all county players. In
shooting, it has the amateur cham
pion of the state-H. Linn Worth
ington, who won the cup at Balti-
more June 5-6 in a field of 80 shoot
ers, breaking 81 out of 100. Here

WANTED IN THE PHILIPPINES.

In all tropical and subtropical coun-
tries there has been an active appre-
citation Of late years Of the luxury Of
ice in hot weather, and the result has
been the building of many ice plants
and cold storage houses in those lands.
In Ceylon the natives will deprive
themselves of other things in order to
to have money to buy ice, and in Japan
the ice plants cannot supply the de-
mand. "Cold Storage" in an excel
lently illustrated export edition, calls
attention to the great opportunity for
the building Of many ice plants in the
Philippines. 1t says:
There are several reasons in favor
of this wholesale building of ice plants.
These islands are we'll populated with
a score or more large cities. The land
Is so rich that the business done in the
cities is profitable. This condition will
attract more persons, white capitalists.
This will add to the population. The
natives are so eager after ice that they
will go without food to get it. There
are two public ice factories in Manila
and none anywhere else. These fac
tories were so overworked that the
military authorities were forced to rec
ommend a large government ice plant
and cold store. The government has
also a small plant in Iloilo. The island
of LuZon needs Is ice plants of from
10 to 25 tons capacity. 1t needs as
many cold stores of from 10000 to 49,
600 cubic feet capacity. 1t needs refrig-
Grating cars and all up-to-date appli-
ances. 1t is a mistake to think that

A PROMOTERS HUMoR.-Charles r.
Flint has a quaint Yankee humor
which is as we'll developed today as in
his school days. In the Polytechnic
institute the markings were on the ba-
sis of 100 and were bulletined month
ly. One day group Of boys were
looking at the new bulletin, on which
one Of the hopeless dullards Of the
class was marked &C.

"Sixty-six, that's the very number Of
our year, and hope when we get to
'99 Jack will receive that figure"
Once a sanctimonious person re-
marked: children should never be al
lowed to play with toys on Sunday"
May they not play with religious
toys?" he queried.
There are no religious toys. sir!"

know best how to fertilize it, and this
can only be properly determined by
practical experiment or analysis. Af-
ter the fertilizer has been applied, mix
1t we'll with the soil by plowing in the
furrow a time or two with a small
scooter. With twister or turn plow
make the list, and on the ridge so
formed set out the slips. The list
should not be high, because heavier
yields will be made when the potatoes
possible. 1t is preferable to transplant
the slips on freshly plowed ground,
and to transplant in dry weather,
pouring a tea cupful of water in the
hole made for the slip, rather than
wait for a rain. After a rain the
ground is apt to be too wet, or not suf-
ficiently moist, and If too wet the
tramping on clay lands is apt to injure
the soil.
The slips should be dropped on the
ridge about 1S inches apart; certainly
no nearer.
One hand can follow behind with a
long stick to press the roots in the soil,
pour a little water in the hole beside
the roots and press the earth togeth-
er again. In this way two hands can
do the work rapidly. In two or three
days after planting the middles should
be broken and the top soil around the
plants knocked off with the hoe. Plow-
ing and hoeing should be done often
enough to keep the field and plants
free from weeds and grass.
After the first plowing in breaking
the middles all future cultivation
should be shallow. AS a rule. sweet
potatoes should be plowed about four
times and hoed twice. If it is not de-
sired to fertilize as heavy per acre as
the amounts stated, then reduce the
supply; but endeavor to secure the
proper proportions according to the
formula.

gently.

This crop is not fully appreciated.
When farmer knows how to keep
them there Is a fair profit in raising
them. If sold at 80 to 40 cents bushel
before they are put up, there is pro-
fit. They are handy to have around
from September to May. Fried pota-
toes for breakfast, baked ones for din
ner, roasted for supper. with occa-
sional puddings and custards every
Sunday, are very helpful in hungry
family. Harvie Jordan, in the Atlanta
Journal, gives the following sugges-
tions as to planting and cultivating the
crop.
Freshly cleared sandy soil we'll drain
ed makes the heaviest yields of pota-
toes. Ordinarily fertile soil. properly
manured, is preferable to very rich
land. Except in soft, sandy soils the
land should be broken deep and close,
and narrowed to a finely pulverized
tilth. Particularly should this be done
with our stiff clay lands. After good
breaking, lay off the rows three to
four feet apart with long shovel and
distribute the fertilizers. If barnyard
manure is used, distribute in the fur
rows from four to five tons per acre.
If commercial fertilizers are to be used
a good formula can be made Of the

MIGHT MAKE IT ANOTHER FIvE.-A
story is told Of an old attorney in
southern Illinois during the war times,
who, when all the younger lawyers
were at the front, was engaged by an
old planter to draw some affidaVits OF
loyalty by which to obtain the release
of cotton that had been seized for con-
iscation. The old attorney drew the
affidavits, and the planter succeeded in
getting his cotton, whereupon, with
great satisfaction, he told the attorney
to meet him on the levee the next
morning at o'clock and he would pay
him. The attorney, who was sadly in
need of funds. lay awake all night
night trying to decide what charge he
should make, wondering if $50 would
be too much, and if possibly 500 would
be willingly paid by the old planter,
who succeeded in getting very valuable
cotton by his aid. With feverish head
and parched lips the old man went
down to the levee at the appointed
time and met the planter, not yet able
to decide what charge he should make.
Without asking him for his bill the
old planter said, "Sit down, sah,' and
as he took out huge roll of bills, add
ed, Nov, sab, I'll just count out about
what 1 think sab, would be a fair
amount, sab, and then, sab, I'll see
what you have to say about 1t, sah.'
Then picking off a $500 bill from the
roll the planter laid it on his knee and
added another and another until there
were five of them, and, looking un
said. Now, sab, that is about what 1
thought was right, sab, and what have
you to say about it, Sah?" The old at
torney, bursting with suppressed emo
ton as he drew the bills laid out, nev-
ertheless struggled to be equal to the
occasion. He strove to speak. but did
so with difficulty. At last his lips
parted, and he said with dignity. Per-
hapS you had better make it another
five."-CaSe and Comment.
