- The two tournaments held in Baltimore
county this week-0ne at Glen-Arm and the
other at CockeysviIle-w about wind up that
form of outdoor amusement for the present
year. The Cockeysville affair will take place
this Saturday afternoon, commencing at 3

the ladies Of Cockeysville Country Club.
- The peculiar action Of Mr.. w. Bernard
Duke in resigning the presidency Of the Tow
son Parker and Davis Club has caused good
deal Of comment. He says the reason he did
so is because, although he intends to vote for
Mr.. Talbot himself he cannot ask Others to do
so. That looks like the thinnest sort Of q sub
terfuge, and there are many whosay they don't
believe it.
- Hundreds ofthose who attended the dedi-
cation of the Church Of Immaculate in Towson
last Sunday enjoyed the fine views from the
high elevation Of that edihce; The atmos-
phere was little hazy and restricted the vision
to some extent, but the great beauty of the
landscape for many miles was not entirely OBJ
scured. The views from that point are worth
travelling miles to see.
- Scores of English sparrows were killed
during the storm of last week by being blown
against the walls Of the Jail in Baltimore If
thousands Of them could be disposed Of in the
same inexpensive manner 1t would be good
thing. No more utterly useless bird can be
found on the face of the earth, to say nothing
Of the harm they DO in driving away other
useful and pretty birds.
- By some means or other an inquisitive
mule discovered yellow jackets nest in the
hollow Of tree in front OF Tracey's Towson
Hotel one day this week. And after he had
made the discovery no doubt De wished he
hadn't. The little fellows swarmed out on his
thick hide and for the space Of few minutes
he did some lively kicking and rolling until he
rid himself of his tormenfors.
- The body Of Miss Frances Price, who was
drowned in the food near Marshalls Mill, 10th
district, on the night Of the 14th inst. has not
yet been recovered. although search for it has
been kept up almost constantly since. The
belief now prevails that it has been covered
up in one Of the numerous sandbars along the
Little GunpoWder, and that long time may
elapse before it is found. if ever.
"A young man who should have had
better sense was caught on Tuesday last with
his ear to the keyhole Of the door leading into
the grand jury room. He was arrested and ex-
planned that he knew Roland B. Rigor, the
young bandit, and as his case was being con-
sidered by the jury, he was anxious to know
the outcome. Il is not likely that he will be
guilty Of similar act soon again.
Mrs. Zanie Hamilton, who for many
years was resident Of Towson, fell ON the
porch Of her home at Walbrook q few days
ago and fractured her hip. She has since suf-
can 40 nothing 20 relieve her. ME- hamilton,
who is 80 years Of age, is the widow of William
T. Hamilton, who once conducted q hotel in
Towson. She is q native of Warren, Baltimore
county.
Jerry G. Walker, Of Freeland, N. @. r.
r.. may be very smart young man, but be
still has few things to learn. For example,
he thought he could get marriage license by
simply writing to the County Clerks Office for
it. But he couldn't and he and his intended
bride had to postpone their nuptials until some
one applied in person for the license and
answered the necessary questions under oath.
Ia, ia, Jerry. Know better next time.
Miss Ridgely's Plans for Trip to Liberia.
The date Of departure of Misses Eliza and
Margaretta Ridgely and Miss Freeland for their
trip to Liberia has not yet been definitely de-
cided, says the Baltimore Nescs. Miss Marge-
retta, who goes as missionary to that country,
is now taking course Of training at the Epis
copal Hospital, Philadelphia, and is awaiting
orders from tie Board OF Foreign Missions Of
the Episcopal Church, for, while she is going
as an independent worker in way, she still
wishes to be under the protection of this Board.
Even the route 70 be taken is still in doubt.
The one thing decided is that Miss Eliza Ridge
~ and Miss Freeland will accompany Miss
Margaretta Ridgely to Liberia and remain with
her there until she is settled. One of the diff 4
culties Of the trip lies in the fact that at this
time there are only two white missionaries in
Liberia, and that in the houses Of neither Of
these is there room for the two former ladies.
The missionary with whom Miss Magaretta
Ridgely will live has q house Of six rooms,
which she took with her from the United
States, and in this there is only space for one
of the travellers. In letter recently the mis-
sionary said that there was nothing else but
the native huts, ana that sne feared the Misses
Ridgely and Freeland would not be happy in
these. inasmuch as it was the custom of the ma
tive families at meals to place the food in q
large dish in the centre of the floor, and for the
members of the family to sit around 1t and
take out the food with their fingers
FreeIand will go to the Holy Land and make
somewhat extended tour of the European
cities. In the latter they will give especial at
tention to the work for the education of chill
dren and the aid and improvement of the poor
er classes. Miss Ridgely has for number of
years been at the head Of the United Women
of Maryland. an organization noted for the
practical results which it has achieved.
Miss Freeland has been the president of the
Playground Association, also very successful,
and both ladies feel that they need little rest,
and that they will come home with many new
and practical ideas which will be of great use
in their work.
The Misses Ridgely are daughters of the late
Charles Ridgely and sisters Of Mr.. John Ridge
ly, the present proprietor Of Hampton, near
Towson.
