REV MR BARKER IN BOTSFORD.
A GOOD AUDIENCE LISTENS MOST ATTENTIvEI
 TO HIS LECTURE

A GOOD AUDlENCE LISTENS MOSE EL1
 TO HIS LECTURE.
 Notwithstanding the heavy blow of Tuesday night an audience of 45 people gathered in the Botsford Sunday school room for the first
 lecture of the season there in the clergymen's course, which was given by Rev Otis w. Barker The size of the audience, under the weather conditions, was very gratifying to the speaker, and augurs well for the lectures that are to follow. The closest attention was given throughout. the people keeping their eyes fastened on the speaker from beginning | to close Under the head of Our First Im- migrant" MT Barker gave most graphic ac count of the life-worl1 of Christopher Colum- bus. The pluck that never .wavered, the in domitable will that made mountains melt into plains, the hope that a star rise out of the blackness of a starless night, the dignity | that would not cringe before princes or stoop to win courtiers favor, were all finely por- | trayed When man has reached the last | ditch, then he is often more ready to step to | the pinnacle of fame. When Columbus. in 1 1490, had received word from the Spanish court that the decision of the Saamancan council was final, looked upon by the crown | as, at best, a well-meaning visionary, pointed | out by children on the streets as crazy man, | thought of by the world as a failure, home less, fOOt-SOre and hungry, he found hin self at the convent door of La Rabida From that time fortune smiled upon him; Heaven adopt 1 ed him as the child of destiny, the embodied resolution ordained of God to lead the way to a new world. Columbus builded better than | he knew. He set out to find sea-route to | India; he stumbled into discovering America. 1 His discovery twas a bunder; his blunder 1 was a new world; the New World is his mon ument

THE CENSUS FRAUD CASES.
Director Merriam Supposes Other
Charges viii he Made

Director Merriam, Of the Census Bu-
reau. said he knew nothing of the alleged
frauds in the enumeration of Charles
county Md, but he supposed that the
charges Of fraud would be made from re-
pCTts that have been received from that
locality since the census was taken.
The trouble lies in the failure Of our
figures 10 match those Of the county au-
thorities," said Director Merriam this
morning. If our count is d hundred less
than the count made by the local officials,
or than the State authorities think il
ought to be we are compelled to account
for the difference and hunt for the miss
ing people. IN other words, We have 10
prove our enumeration by recount wher-
ever any reasonable do4bt arises. This Is
very difficult sob and requires more
time and trouble than The original count.
With regard 10 the Charles county mat
