Lone Woman Holds Up Three.

A lone woman, held up three men
near Auburn. The men, whose names
were Woodbury., Vanderwede and De
Yound, were land buyers from Illinois.
AS they were approaching a secluded
portion of the road, masked woman on
horse back rushed from a thicket and
commanded them at the point of rifle
their valuables.

olive-green velvet embroidered in gold.
Wonderfully embroidered buttons ap-
peared on this gown, and a narrow fur
edging outlined the square decolletage.
Long suede and kid gloves and nit
tens are worn in the evening, and for
ornaments tortoise shell pins of every
description are placed in the couture.
The ruby, the turquoise and the emerald
are fighting for popularity, which I
think is very evenly distributed among
them. With classical dress the Juliet
cap of many-colored stones is worn and
pearls never lose an iota of their value.
How pretty are big choux of velvet worn
in the hair, the center consisting of
beautiful diamond ornament.

Report of Railroad Commissioner.

Railroad Commissioner Thomas, in a
report to the governor regarding his
investigation of the books of the rail
road companies on the matter Of re-
bates, says that more than $S,000O00
in gross earnings has been held out by
the railroad companies of the state,
which has resulted in the state losing
$313, 1899 in license fees.

dress authorities are real artists and are
wise to return to the beautiful old
French modes. Nothing could be more
imposing than the Louis XVI. corsage,
with its becoming point and beautiful
lace berthe, tucker or what variation
the wearer wills, marking the line OF
the decolletage. To any woman who has
the right, by reason of beautiful neck
and shoulders, to wear decollete dress at
all, the Louis XVI. line is quite the
most becoming, while the skirt slightly
pleated on the hips, shows good figure
to the best advantage.
We are, of course, modifying these
modes a little. The danger is that the
authorities may insist upon having them
too full at the feet, and so allow them
to be suggestive of the crinoline On
the other hand, the long trains of the
Josephine period will counteract this
effect. In fact, in the matter of skirts.

THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL OF RISING
SUN M. e. CHURCH.
TCoNCLUDED.1

On Wednesday, October 18th, Rev. v. s. Col
lins of Port Deposit, spoke. This gentleman was a
comparative stranger to our people but it is safe
to say will have large audience when he again
addresses them. For wit and wisdom and pleas
ing delivery and geniality of spirit on the great
subject of Temperance he is hard to beat The
opening services were in charge of the w. C. T..
U. and the Loyal Temperance Legion. Mrs e. p.
Haines read the Scripture lesson and the Legion
gave number of very pleasing choruses
On Thursday, October 18th. Rev. w. G. Rooms,
Presiding Elder of Easton District preached on
1.-THE Heritage OF Our Young People," from
Ps. Xiv, and Rom. TX, 8, first clause. showing
the coming generation" upon what high ground
of advantages it was their privilege and respon-
sibility to build. He was at his high-water mark,
and it was indeeda memorable discourse. This
was Epworth League night, and the President of
our local chapter, Eli T. Reynolds, presided. The
ST. and Jr. League singers gave a number of
choruses, and solos much enjoyed were rendered
by Mrs. w. G. KoOns and Mrs. E. T. Reynolds.
Friday, October 18th, Rev. A. s. Mowbray D
D.. Presiding Elder of Wilmington District, dis
coursed on Cor. III, 9. This able and earnest
sermon on the most vital matters of religion was
the climax of the program as printed. There
was, however, something "not"-strictly-" down
on the bills" but which all felt was worthy, to
say the least to stand beside any part of the rich
feast. Rev. S. j. Morris, d. D., a former pastor,
was present the 18th and 18th and rendered de-
lghtfu service by his earnest prayers, but it was
felt chat he should have wider field and he was
seized for a sermon on Sunday morning, October
10th. This he preached from Rom.I 20, and it
is safe to say that such blending of close rea-
soning. simple illustration and spiritual unction
it is seldom the privilege of any congregation to
hear, and it made deep impression. He also
preached in the afternoon at Sylmar, from John
XIII, II, to the delight and profit of that
congregation.
Thus closed a notable series of services which,
wherein it varied at all from the program sched.
ule, did so only for the better.
The Pastor and Church take this opportunity
to thank the editors of the MIDLAND JOURNAL for
he very liberal space they have given to reports,
ETC., of the services, to all who have so excel
ently participated, and to the general public for
their attendance and interest and their iberality
in contributing to the expenses of the occasion.
In like manner we hope for the attendance and
cooperation of all our friends as we start out on
the work of the second half century of our history
]. P. OTIS Pastor.
