Jamestown District items,

The Ladies' Aid Society of the Darnes.
town Presbyterian Church held most
unique sale in the Sunday School room on
the afternoon and evening of Saturday, May
End. 1t was bargain sale of shirt waists,
made and donated by number of the ladies
of the church. No bargain counter ever
witnessed a more excited throng of pur.
chasers and nearly all of the waists were
marked sold before the judges met to de.
eide upon their merits. The prize a hand.
some gold and jeweled pin, was awarded
for neatness of finish, fine sewing, a stylish
appearance, and difficult indeed was 1t for
the judges, Mesdames ]. Gassaway, G. Du-
Fief and H. 9. Reading, to decide where all
were so meritorious. The prize for the rare
combination of neatness, style and finish
were all found to be combined in the white
dimity shirt waist made by Miss Lille
Green of Dsrnestown, and the pin was
awarded to her, the fortunate purchaser be-
ing Mrs. H. G. Reading. Indeed the fol-
lowing description is truthful one:
Shirt waists large and shirt waists small,
Some suit the short, some fit the tall,
Waists of every form and hue,
All in styles, bright and new,
Shirt waists rare, and shirt waists bright,
Some all colors, but most all white,
Some with stripes, some with spots,
Several with many polka dots,
Some Tor mistress, some for maid,
Neatly sewed, pleats finely laid,
Who'll win the prize, when all are 30 pretty ?
All nice enough to wear to the city,
Here they are-all on the line,
The price OF each Only forty. nine.
Prettily decorated tables were filled with
cakes OF all kind, many very beautiful ones.
Ice-cream, coffee, crackers and cakes were
served, and when the base ball game was
over the room was crowded with people,
all anxious to treat themselves, be treated,
or treat some one. The occasion was indeed
a merry one, and goodly sum was realized
from the dainty shirt waists sold and the
delicious refreshments provided.
The county roads, that have been in
places practically impossible, have been
mended in some places 80 travel over them
is, at any rate, safer than it has been for
some time.

Baltimore City Election.

The municipal election In Baltimore on
Tuesday was the closest that has occurred
for generation. In total vote Of nearly
hundred thousand, according to the face
of the returns, the change of one vote in
each precinct from the Democratic to the
Republican candidate for Mayor would have
elected the latter. AS 1t is, the returns elect
mixed ticket. The Democrats by the re.
turns elect the Mayor by plurality of less
than 900 and the Republicans the other two
candidates on the general ticket, namely,
the President Of the Second Branch Of the
City Council by plurality of about 1850
and the Comptroller by plurality Of TAB.
The Republicans have four hold-over mem
bers of the Second Branch of the City Coun.
Gil, elected for four years in 1901. At the
election on Tuesday they elected the Presi-
dent and one other member, while the Dem
ocrats elected three. Therefore for the next
two years the Second Branch, which has 10
pass upon the Mayors nominations, will
consist of six Republicans and three Demo-
Gratis. The Democrats carried three of the
Councimanic districts, which correspond
with the Legislative districts into which the
city is divided, by pluralities Of 1,400, 1,100
end 1880, respectively. The other district
the Republicans carried by about 1880. OF
the "a members of the First Branch, the
Democrats, according to the returns, elected
16 and the Republicans 8. The aggregate
plurality for the Democratic candidates in
the First Branch election was about 1000.
If the final result confirms these returns,
then the Democrats will have a considera-
BILE majority on joint ballot, which will en-.
able them to elect the City Register, who is
a member of the Board OF Awards.
