Cornerstone Moved,

1t is now believed that the stone marking
the northwest corner of the FredeI lex coun.
ty boundary line is properly and permanent
ly located. Last year, because of a dispute
AS to the location Of the boundary line be-
tween Frederick and Washington counties,
involving the taxation Of certain pieces of
property, the commissioners and surveyors
OF the two counties met on the mountain and
after going over the ground fixed upon what
was believed to be the proper course of the
boundary line between the two counties A
stone was then placed at the northern ex-
tremity of this line, on what is supposed to
be Mason Il Dixon's line.
Recently, however, the county commits.
sioners were notified by the Mason d Dixon
Line Resuivcy Commission that in placing
the stone they had gone beyond the Mason
g. Dixon Line fourteen feet on the Pennsyl.
vania side. Accordingly, County Commls-
sloners Bowlus. Blentlinger, Harne and
Snouffer, Clerk Ausherman and County Sur
vcyor RACER went to Blue Ridge Summit
and after again going over the ground re-
moved the stone from the point at which it
was placed last year to point fourteen fee,
further south.

lion year of peace and plenty, Il year beau
tiful" Rev. Kaiser BASED his rematks up
on the latter clause, ~ year beautiful how
with the love of Christ shed abroad in the
life, we may have beautiful year through
out to Its end, no matter what the condition
of weather and environment may be.
The school numbered about eighty persons
officers. teachers aud scholars and was I'M
der the management OF NJ cssrs VIM. Weller
John T. Speake, Henry Krom and Phares
Z. Buhrman, Rev. Kaiser making occasional
visits. The attendance was good and their
exercises well rendered.
The school was given a treat of package
of candy and all attendants of over FIVE sun
days received IN addition a useful piece OF
glassware which was novel feature Of the
gift. The school presented Rev. Kaiser nm
envelope containing five dollars and Mr.
p E. 3uhrman a beautiful morocco bound
hand Bible. The treasurer also reported a
nice sum in treasury, thus closing sci Dol
season of six months to lapse over to the
spring of another year.
The cleanly, homclike and cheerful ap
pearance of the schoorOom attracted a,tcn.
,ion-made thus by the public school-the
wall being hung with tasty and select Sc
ries Of pictures May 1t be so in all schoo
rooms.

Cardinal Gibbons spoke very plainly on

of the Newark Ne,cs The Cardinal SAID in
part:
"Evidenccs are accumulatlng each year
that the cancer Of divorce is rapidly spread.
ing over the country and poisoning the toun-
tains of the nation. Unless the evil IS check
ed by some speedy and heroic remedy the
very existence of our family life is imperiled.
How can we call ourselves Christian peo-
pie If we violate a fund amental law of Chris
tianity2 Aud il the sanctity and lndissolu-
bllty of marriage does not constitute car.
dinal principle of the Christian religion, We
are a, loss to know what does.
"Let the Imagination picture to itself the
fearful wrecks daily caused by this rock Of
scandal, and the number OF families that are
cast adrift on the ocean Of life Great stress
is Justly laid by liioralists on the observance
of the Sunday. But what mockery is the
external reposc of the Christian Sabbath, to
homes from which domestic peace has been
banished by interecine war, where the moth
er's heart is broken, the fathers spirit is
crushed, and whLre the children can not
cling to one of their parents without excit-
ing the hatred or jealousy of the other. Aud
these melancholy scenes are followed by the
final act in the family when the family ties
are dissolved, and the hearts that had VOW.
ed eternal love and unibn are separated to
meet no more.
"This social plague calls for a radical cure
and the remedy can be found only in the
abolition of our mischievous legislation re-
garding divorce and the honest application
of the Gospel. If persons contemplating
marriage were persuaded that once united
they were legally debarred from entering the
second wedlock, they would be more circum
spect before marriage in the choice of a lift
partner and would be more patient afterwart
in bearing the yoke and tolerating each 9th
ers infirmities."

Republican Meeting.

The republican candidates for governor,
attorney general and comptroller, accompa'
med by Senator McComas and eight cand
dates for county officers were present at a
very largely attended meeting In the Town
Hall last Thursday afternoon. MIR. Williams
the gubernatorial candidate made very
brief address, saving his strength for the
evening meeting in Frederick. Mr. White,
locks address was longer, but he too was
protecting very hoarse set of vocal chords:
Senator McComas made the chef speech and
it was probably one of the best he ever made
in this place. Mr.. Kinks, candidate for the
judgeship followed Senator McComas. 1t
was very enthusiastic meeting; probably
more than one hundred ladies were present.
