were kept open at all times.

Railway, and So and costs additional for using

- Under the new law Sheriff Rittenhouse
is freed from the cares and responsibilities of
the Jail and we should think that this fact
would tend to make his Office more desirable.
OF course, if the county should be so unfortu-

be Obliged to officiate the same as under the
old regime.
ION Tuesday night Mr.. j. Griffin Hall,

custodian of the countys money, the request
was referred to him.

this was to be expected but the owners did not
look for substantial increase in values until
the railway is completed. This it now seems

- party from Towson spent q couple of
days last week at Cox's Point in quest of ducks,
but they came back empty handed. If some
thing is not done to preserve these noble birds
it will not be long until the last of them will
be slaughtered. Once there were thousands of
wild pigeons in Baltimore county, affording
fine sport at certain seasons. Now there are
none, the ruthless sportsman ~ having exter-
minated the last of the race. Just so it will be
with ducks.
A Great Loss to the P. e. Diocese.-Edi-
tors Union AS the following extract from
The Chttrchmdn for November 28th will be of
interest to many of your readers who may not
see that paper, l respectfully request you to
give it place in your columns.

st. Johns Rectory, Upper Falls Md.
1.-TWO things of recent occurrence will be felt
as very great loss to the church in this
diocese. One, in the sudden death of the Rev.
George Krebs Warner. He came nearer than
any other man we have known to George Her
bert's ideal of the country parson. Indeed,
there was hardly point in which he did not
satisfy the picture drawn by Herbert. He was
for fOrty-six years in continuous service in
Maryland, for the last twenty-eight of which
he was rector of st. James Parish, in My
Lady's Manor, And the Herbert type and the
quaint English name went well together. Well
learned, and an excellent theologian, he knew,
as few men do, how to put all of his treasures
into effective pastoral work. He was quaint,
but beautifully so, in bis fatherly and very in
structive preaching and in his loving manners,
and in a conversation in which his thorough
devOutness always appeared, not obtrusively,
but with unstudied naturalness At his burial
| on November Goth some fifteen clergymen
were present, but the Bishop, as his close per-
| sonal friend, took the whole service, and the
| whole community for miles around came to
| tell their honor for him.

sand acres,) was so named as given by the third
Lord Baltimore to his wife as her personal
possession, and the walls of st. James Church.
still making part of the enlarged building, were
built while Maryland was yet British colony
many years before our War of Independence.
1.-The other loss is the retirement from work
of the Rev. Robert Holland Taylor, D. D..
compelled by failing health and loss of voice.
| For many years he had been very helpful in
deed as one of the examining chaplains and as
lecturer il the Maryland theological class.
The clergy recognized in him scholar Of far
more than usual fitness and accuracy"
Church Society Organized.-A Ladies'
Aid Society was organized in connection with
the work of the M. P. Tabernacle, at the home
of Mrs George Bing, Lauraville, on Tuesday,
| December LIST. A large number of members
were enrolled. The object of the society will
be to create permanent fund for the erection
of new M. P. Church to take the place of the
temporary structure now used. The following
officers were elected President, Mrs. Charles
H. Knox; vice-president, Mrs. George Bing /;
| secretary, Mrs. Clara E. Waterman; treasurer
| Mrs Sydney Bouts collector, Mrs. Rachel
Rigdon. The next meeting of the society will
| be held at the residence of Mr. Charles H.
