Pixies Peak.

1t is reported that rich mining
company have been tanneling I'M
der Pixies Peak for several years
and that their theory that the old
mountain was the source from
which the famous Cripple Greek
country has been supplied with
gold seems to have been proven to
be, at least partially correct, as
rich ore has been discovered and
the company are quietly buying
up all of the property in sight.
If there is one little matter. that
our Legislators should consider III
preference TO all other, little mat

relating to the appointment of road
overseers. There is no little matter
in which the peoples interests are
so little consulted in this state
Good roads are essential, but bad
roads is the rule. Overseers Should
be elected by the people and dis
tricts should be cut down until the

COLUMBIAN CLUB.
Well-DriIIed Baltimore Organization
Attracts Attention.

One of the organizations that attracted
favorable notice from the immense crowd
of spectators who saw the parade today
was the Columbian Club Of Baltimore,
wel-driled body of men. The club was Or
ganized in November, 1894, and Its princi-
pal aim at that time was to promote an
organization throughout the state to secure
the nomination and election of William L.
Malster as governor of Maryland. The club
soon grew to large proportions, and In
short time had an influential membership
in almost every small town around Baltt-
more as we'll as in number of the coun-
ties of the state. The club supported Its
candidate in the nominating convention
but was unable to secure his nomination
The club was one of the first political or
ganizations in Maryland to advocate the
nomination of William Mckinley as Presl-
dent and lent valuable services in the state
during the campaigns of 1896 and 1900. The
active membership of the club Is nearly
500, while the auxiliary clubs Increase Its
organized following to about $500.
The Columbian Club, which is to some
extent a social organization, IS distinctly
political club. It's two principal bodies are
an executive committee and political COM
mittee. The former looks after the ex:en-
sion of the membership of the club, while
the latter as its name implies, keeps the
club in political line.

THE FRELINGHUYSEN LANCERS.
Famous Political Organization From
Newark, N. J.,

The F'relinghuysen Lancers, appearing in
the civic division today, is the oldest uni
formed political marching club in New Jer-
sey, and it is said to be the oldest club Of
its kind in the country which has kept up
a continuous permanent organization. The
late Secretary of State Frederick T. Fre-
linghuysen was always deeply interested
in the organization, and took particular
pride in 1t because of the fact that it was
organized and adopted his name without
his knowledge. The association was or
Ranized in 1868. and has participated in all
the presidential campaigns since.
When James A. Garfield visited New York
in 1880 the Lancers carried OF the honors
of the great parade on 5th avenue. In 1884
the club visited many cities, and was the
special escort Of Mr.. Blaine when he visited
Newark during that memorable and ex-
citing campaign. In 1888 1t paraded In
