Perry Hall, 18th District.-Mr. Eli Gam
brill, one of the oldest residents of this section
of the county, died at the residence of his son,
near Camp Chapel, June 18th, aged 80 years.
The funeral took place on the I'd of July and
was largely attended, among the number being
children, grandchildren and great-grandchil-
dren from Wilmington, Del, Havre-de- Grace
and elsewhere. Mr. Gambill had been resi-
dent of Perry Hall since before the Civil War.
The remains were inferred at the NJ. e. Church
here. Fred. Lassahn & Son were the under

Mr.. Peter Dengler has announced a grand
pic. mic and dance at his park on Saturday, July
4th, and good time is promised. There will
be display of fireworks at night.
Two police officers from Highlandtown were
roaming about here last Sunday on the hunt
of law-breakers. 1t is rumored that they sue
ceeded in catching one saloon Keeper who was
selling regardless of the day.
Last Monday MIR. James B. Mohr removed
from Perry Hall to his own property about
mile west of here, where he erected new
house for himself. His removal reduces the
number of blacksmiths at Perry Hall to two
and these have plenty of work, especially that
of Mr.. David DeGruchy, who turns out new
wagon every three weeks. X.

June, lSOS, a bomarKaDl0 MOnUn.-ln6
Baltimore american of Wednesday said: 1.-THE
month of June, 1903, which came to close
yesterday, made several records which were so
abnormal as to excite general comment.
When the month started drouth which had
lasted nearly eight weeks, and which threat
ened disaster to crops of many kinds, still pre-
vailed. In some parts of the country the trees
and foliage had become as dry as finder, and
forest fires swept over hundreds of acres of
land destroying all that lay in their path.
June came in with week of cloudy days, but,
it was not until the 9TH that the heavens open
ed on this part of the country not only break
ing the drouth and putting out all the fires,
but causing many rivers to overflow their
banks and flooding large extent of territory.
Beginning with the first week, June kept up
its rainy record all the month through, giving
us but six clear daysin the whole thirty The
last day was the clearest of the lot, and in
many respects the most pleasant. y
The unreasonable weather of the month
proved drag to business of many kinds, and
a costly hindrance to the expected rush to the
summer resorts. Of course, there is another
and better side to the June picture, but its
fires and floods, its cloudbursts and tornadoes,
its tragedies abroad and at home, stands out so
prominent as almost to hide the good deeds
which form part of its remarkable record"

sensicl< Cigars.

"Since our troops have been in the
Philippines my friends among the officers
stationed there have at frequent intervals
been remembered with boxes of Manila
cigars" remarked a member of Uncle
Sans fighting force, who was severely
wounded at El Caney and is now on the
retired list, to a Washington Star re-
porter
Recently l received a shipment of
cigars" he continued. but they proved a
sad disappointment. In fact they seemed
to me to be entirely worthless. puffed
at one after another but they simply
could not be smoked. In despair l finally
consulted well known tobacconist. The
situation was no problem to him. He
promptly told me to lay the cigars aside
for few weeks. after which | would find
them all right. He was correct When
J sought an explanation. the tobacconist
assured me in all seriousness that the
cigars had been seasick from the voyage
across the Pacific and needed rest.
Il have since learned" added the off.
Ger, that wines and liquors are affected
in similar manner by ocean shipment"

Fnmous Picture In Danger.

Art circles are much perturbed over
the prospective fate of the famous pic
ture by TintorettO representing The
Glory of the Blessed In Paradise" ="
which occupies the whole of the east
wall of the hall of great council in the
palace of the doges. This enormous
painting said to be the largest in the
world, extends over a space of about
2.14O square feet and covers a fresco
painted by Guariento in 400. The
wall and of course the frescO were
much damaged by the fire which broke
out in the palace in 1911. The defects
in the building, which have now been
discovered, have aroused some fear
lest the wall covered by TintOrettO's $
Paradise" may be seriously cracked.
Orders were given for the picture TO
be removed, and a committee of Yene-
tian artists began the difficult task.
They were, however, soon compelled
to desist and reported that owing to
the very bad condition of the painting
its removal was almost impossible
The choice is offered either of spelling
the picture in order to examine and re-
pair the wall or of sparing the Tinto-
rettO and risking further danger to the
fabric Of the palace of the dOges.

Cost of MnpmnkInr.

One disadvantage of a country Of
large territory is that it renders map
making expensive. England, with its
Imall area, has been mapped on scale
Of six inches to the mile. large enough
to show every house. The mapping
cost nearly $500 a square mile, or about
twenty times as much as this country
expends for mapping its territory on a
smaller scale, yet the appropriations
for this purpose are so large that one
senator has described the geological
survey. which makes the inland maps,
as "a sturdy beggUr."

Settled the Jonah Question.

Frank Tamage, son of the famous
n. De Witt Talmage, is more satisfied
today than he was two months ago.
Frank is a clergyman and, like all
preachers, must answer at least once
On his life certain stock questions.
Among these questions are the ''evolu-
fion of man." eternal fire" and 10
nah's whale"
The question, propounded at a liter
ary society composed of embryo ora
tors and statesmen, was as follows:
"Alr. Talmage, do you believe that the
whale swallowed JOnahy Without a
moments hesitation Mr.. Talmage said:
"What proof you have I have. Why
the same facts should make me believe
and you disbelieve l cannot say. In
order to come to a decision let me say
khat the whale did swallow Jonah, for
Jonah was a preacher. and the whale

AN INGENIOUS ROBBERY.
How 100000 Was stolen From an
Irish stagccOach.

How sIOO.OOO Was Stolen From an
Irish stagccOach.
In the first quarter of the past cen
tury it became necessary for the Bank
Of ireland. at Belfast. to send large
sum Of money in notes to its branch of
Armagh to meet a special requirement
there. the amount to be RENTED being
almost 100000.
Only two courses were open to the
management to effect this, one being
to send a special messenger in a post
chaise and the other to send the CON
signment by the mailcOach. The latter
was the mode of transportation chosen.
The coach left Belfast on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday at - O'Clock
noon, returning from the archiepisco-
pal city each Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday.
On the previous afternoon of the day
in question a stranger called ut the
coach Office and booked four inside
seats to Armagh. paying for them in
advance. Just prior to the starting Of
the coach two men only put in an ap-
pearance. explaining that the other
two passengers would join them en-
route at a place beyond Lisburn. The
mailcoach was in charge of John BY
ers. an old and trusted servant Of his
employer and the premier whip on
that coach line.
The leathern wallet containing the
,,14o, ,rr,- IoD,ToI To him Inv a n Offipigl
at the bank. who instructed him under
no circumstances to lose sight of it till
it reached its destination. He duly
gave effect to his instructions, placing
the wallet in the front boot, as it was
called. underneath the driving seat
and where the coach "dined," having
his dinner brought out and eating it
on the box.
When the coach arrived at the rem
dezvous beyond Lisburn. the two in
side passengers confreres were not to
be seen. After waiting a few moments
both guard and driver said it was i'm
possible to wait longer, and the two
inside must either continue their jour
ney or remain behind After some de-
muir they chose the latter alternative
and retraced their steps toward Lis
burn.
When the coach arrived at Armagh,
to the horror and CONSERVATION Of
those in charge it was discerned that
the wallet containing the consignment
was missing. The cloth in the inside
had been cut. the hair stutiing removed,
and the dividing panel between it and
the boot had been sawed through and
the wallet distracted.
The whole robbery had been careful
" planned After abstracting the wal
let the thieves replaced the panel and
stufiing and sewed up the cloth again,
so that should any one go inside en-
route no disturbance would be percep-
tible 1t was ascertained that the
thieves obtained Il conveyance in Lis
burn, drove to Belfast, where they ne
gotiated the notes for a draft on Glas-
gov, made their way to Donaghadee,
thence to Portpatric1 and eventually
to Glasgow.
They were never captured, and to
the present day it has remained a pro-
found mystery how the information
was obtained that the remittance was
to be forwarded.-LOndon Tit-Bits.

Boston's Low Birth Rate.

Not since 1891 have 80 few children
been born in Boston. In 1901 the birth
rate was only 2T1O. During the year
there was an actual gain in population
of only 4,275. The proportion of ma
tive whites of native parentage is now
only 3G per cent of the whole popula-
ton. and many of these are but two re-
moves from an immigrant ancestry. 1t
is very evident that the old American
stock is dying out and that it will in
evitably he replaced by the newcomers
of the end of the nineteenth century
and the beginning of the twentieth.
The foreign born element constitutes
about one-third Of the population, but
contributed about twO-thirds of the
births. Among the Italians there were
1411 births. among the Russians 1887
and among the Irish 1851.
The highest birth rates in the city are
found in those wards where live the
poor and the foreigners. The lowest
birth rates are found in the Back Bay
and in the south end in the middle Of
RoXbury. in West RoXbury and in
Jamaica Plain. Three of these wards
actually show an excess Of deaths over
births.-Medical News.
