Youth Has Full Sway.

JOY unconfined held full sway last
night among the young folk. Hal
lowe'en was celebrated in the manner
it has been celebrated for years and
before the present generation was in
short clothes. Hardly a person but
that participated in the rites of the
night. There were parties galore in
all parts of the town and from early
twilight till darkest night mischievous
little shavers were engaged in exer-
cising those rights which are theirs
inalienably. Many gates left their
posts and we're found far from home
when daylight came. Although they
were few nights late the boys oele-
brated cabbage stump night. After
pelting all the doors within reach with
cabbage stalks they developed a de-
light for using stones instead, much to-
the loss of beauty of many doors and
windows. A large number of the
Naval Academy candidates went to
Eastport, where they had the time of
their lives. They kept things hum
ming in that famous seaport and left
no doubts as to the nature Of the night.

Memorial To DR.. VIM. Bishop

A memorial minute adopted by the
committee of ST. Philips Chapel, An
napolis, Md, October "a, 1904. the fol-
lowing. resolution was passed:
Resolved, That since the last meet
ing of the Business committee it has
pleased God to remove from the scene
of his earthly labOrs. our highly es-
teemed friend and treasurer, DIR.
William Bishop, and we desire on our
first assembling after his departure
TO express, on behalf of the congrega-
tion, and put on record our deep sense
of the loss we have sustained in his
death, our sympathy with his bereaved
family and friends. He conscientiously
from time to time attended the meet
ings and he was greatly endeared to
as by his cordiality, courtesy and
gentleness; and we are deeply grateful
Tor his personal service which, through
out his long connection from the in
ception Of the Mission, he was permit
ted to render. He was ever conspicu-
GUS in the interest which he took in
the work and welfare of the Mission.
He truly loved the Church, her SER
vices and her work. His loss will be
deeply felt by his fellow members OF
the Business Committee and by the
congregation.
Be it further resolved, That We re-
frain from addressing the bereaved
family Immediately, waiting for the
first transport of grief to subside,
knowing that premature attempts to
console sorrows they are meant to
heal. We cannot but realize the fact
that the bereaved family are prepared
TO say with the greatest and most IL
lustrious of sufferers Even SO Father
for so it seemeth good in Thy sight. "
It is our earnest prayer that the
Divine Protector who reveals Himself
as the father of the fatherless and the
husband of the widow, may take the
bereaved ones under His especial care,
and supply them with those rich and
ineffable consultations which are neith-
er few nor small.

New Garbage Contract

Today the fire department began
work on the garbage contract with
the city. Only street cleaning work
is to be done today and but one cart
was sent out. This was found ample
to take care of the material gathered
by the sweepers. Garbage collections
will start tomorrow and the fremen
will then be given an opportunity of
seeing just how much time is required
for the different branches of the work
1t is thought that matters can be SO
simplified that the number of drivers
required will but amount TO more
than two men a full week in addition
to Mr.. Howard Cox, who has charge
of the horses.
