Yesterday the Rev. Father Thomas p.
Grace OF st. Mary's church made his 18th
annual report, which was extremely
gratifying 10 the congregation and to
them Father Grace gave all of the credit
The total receipts from all sources were
$30215.G9. He thanked the members for
The many tokens OF esteem rendered him
at the recent Jubilee ana espec1utfy FOR
the $1,000. and this, he said, lac had donated
10 the church fund.
He said that the work he had laid out
for The future was the building OF an up
to-date sChoolhouse, the cost of which
would be about $4,000. and that he could
see now the sum OF $4,000 that could be
used for that purpose, and that by the
latter part Of the year he would be able
10 commence the work, and while the
work progressed, so that when IL was
completed. ii would be particularly free
from debt and would be dedicated as a
monument TO the work done by the parish
during the golden jubilee year or the
church.
There is no doubt but that Father Grace
will succeed In his efforts, and the fact
that the purse of 5000 given him a short
time ago has been turned over 10 the
church fund shows his unselishness, and
the deep interest he has In the welfare
OF the parish and the community at large.
The membership of the church is not as
large as il was one year ago, but this,
Father Grace said, was due 10 the fact
that many had gone 10 st, Anthonys
parish and were still engaged in the work
OF Christianity.
In closing he thanked all for their gen.
erous support and asked those who were
best able 10 do what they could in the
future.

70 Live Long.

Most people are eager to have q
good, tried recipe for longevity. There
are many such about. but few are
really practicable or really reliable, as
what has proved good in one case has
not done so in another, but the advice
offered by Sir Henry Thompson to
those who would like to reach old age,
as he has done, and remain vigorous
and Woodworking as well. is really pos
sible for all to follow. He does not
pretend that longevity can be attained
quite easily. On the contrary, his sys,
TEN involves much self denial; but, al
least. it is not an eccentric one. His
theory, based on practical and personal
experience, is that strict temperance III
food as well as drink will prolong life.
In early fife one may eat freely, but as
middle life is reached one must "slow
down. Eat as little as possible, drink
as little as possible and always eat
simply. and you will be on the safe
side, he ayers. One can thoroughly be
lieve such a doctrine. Large and in,
discreet feeders are never as well or as
long lived as their brethren who ap-
parently- show no appreciation Of food.

Death of Mr.. Samuel Bolton.

Mr.. Samuel Bolton, father Of Mrs
Horace c. Osbourn Of this place, died
on Sunday December IA, 1902, at his
residence in Philadelphia, Pa, after a
short ard painful illness. in the 10Th year
of bis age. Mr.. Bolton has been a fre-
quent visitor to Charles Town. and was
highly esteemed by all who knew him
The Baptist Commonwealth. the church
paper Of the deceased, says of him:
There are few OF our laymen better
known or more highly respected than
was our Deacon. He had been a follow
er Of Chris. for sixty-four years Dea-
con in or church for twenty years. At
almost every council in which our church
has been represented for more than
quarter of a century Deacon Bolton has
been delegate. and for more than forty
years he has been a delegate to the Asso
citation in which our church has held
membership, In his advice he was all
ways safe and conservative. He was
pre-eminently deliberative and spiritual.
In his own church he was reg trded as a
strong pillar. He had more of sound
judgment and tar-seeing wisdom than
are usually given to one man. And his.
uprghtness, integrity and kindness of
spirit made him veritable leader among
men; one to be looked up to and trusted
without question. As he prospered in
the things Of the world he made others
happy; a friend to the poor; strong stay
and,support to his church, and an invalua-
bic assistant to hisp pastor. Helm an unusual
degree illustrated the splendid qualities
of the true Christian gentlemen. All
business circles mourn him as special
loss to them His church knows that a
brother beloved in the highest sense for
worth has been removed from her pale.
His family feel the loss most of all, To
them and to all he has left a priceless
legacy To be in his room as the closing
scene came was benediction to last for
all of life. One remarked. You could
almost hear the rustic of wings as the un-
seen convoy gathered to conduct him
hence.

Paraguay Ten.

Mate, or Paraguay ten, which is the
fayorite beverage among population
OF some 2o0oo.0oo grows wild IN the
woods of the southern half of South
America. For many years its cultiva-
ton was a lost art. Although large
plantations were planted by Jesuit
missionaries more than century ago,
later attempts to raise the plant were
fruitless. and not until recently have
new plantations been established in
Paraguay. The secret OF cultivation,
it is alleged, is that the seeds will not
terminate until treated with potas-
stun salt
