Trolley Through Snow Hill !

The Chestertown Transcript of last
Saturday had the following to say in
reference to building a trolly line down
the Peninsula:
1.-The Transcript is allowed to state
this morning that there is well defined
movement on foot to establish PENN
sula trolley line between Elkton and
Ocean City. The line will pass through
Elkton, Chesapeake City, Chestertown,
Centreville, Easton. Cambridge. Princess
Anne, Salisbury, Berlin, Snow Hill, to
Ocean City. Those interested in the
movement are men of energy, influence
and wealth in the state, and there is
every probability that the line will be
established in the very near future.
This is all the information we can fur
nish the public at present"

SNOW HILL LOSES One GAME.

The team saw it was up to them, anC
Duncan pitched one of the very finest
games he ever put up. He received ex-
cellent support and the boys pulled
through. Consequently base ball stock
went soaring high and the glad smile
came back to disconsolate faces.
Ritter is hitter.
Kite is all right
Robinson pitched a good game.
Burroughs covered first base in per-
feet style.
Black was safe on second. but he had
to walk. Hard luck, old man.
Williams was on the bench.
All hands get move on the batting.
That's what counts.
One of the Snow Hill boys says: the
club and visitors who got in buss to
go to the ball grounds numbered IL and
the driver made the unlucky 18th.
George Twilley chuckled to himself and

Owing to rain the game between
Snow Hill and Crisfield was not played
Thursday. The Snow Hill club went to
Crisfield. however, and were ready fol
the fray.
We cannot keep club up if the game
is not patronized. If you want it to be
a success go to the games. We are
pleased to say that most of our people
are looking at the matter in the right
light and are giving the boys the bene-
fit of their presence.
To make the sport financial success
we must have two.well patronized games
here every week.
Professor Kelley deserves the praise
of the lovers of base ball for the un-
firing interest he has taken in the finan-
cial end of the game.
The boys gave Rehoboth roasting
last Friday afternoon to the tune of
to 2, and the next day they went up to
Rehoboth and were hoodooed at the
rate of 5 to 2. Benson twirled the ball
for Rehoboth and our batters failed to
connect with his delivery. Even Black
did some tanning. Ritter and West
colt were the only Snow Hill boys t.
safely cross the home plate.

Margaret White was tired of COM
muting, tired of the daily ride on the
elevated road from Christopher street
to one Hundred and Twenty fifth
street, very tired of the crowded class
room at the end of it, so it is not
strange that her mind, idle through
design and strenuous through habit,
picked out the broad shouldered young
man who strobe into the car at Forty
second and Off again at One Hundred
and Sixteenth street regularly as the
morning came as a pleasant enough
plaything.
Not that he was particularly good
looking. He was distinguished only by
general purposefulness. eyes that
looked neither to the right nor to the
left, but buried themselves in the
morning paper; general air of being
alone and liking it, which appealed to
her state of being alone and not lik-
ing it.
Lately, instead of the newspaper, he
had each morning drawn book from
his pocket and Immediately become
absorbed in it, 1t was not altogether
pleasant book, to judge from his face,
which betrayed at times great irrita-
ton of spirit Its covers were protected
by paper slip, calculated to balll the
curiosity of whomsoever it might not
concern. Margaret undoubtedly fell
within this category, but that did not
occur to her. An Intentional device to
arouse her curiosity could not have sue
ceeded better.
One morning it CHANGED that the side
of the car he always took %as occupied

FEvER'S AFTER-EFfECTS
Did Not Disappear Until the Blood Was Renewed by Or. WiIiians'
 Pink Pills.

Typhoid fever is sometimes called ner vous fever. During the course of the lever the nerves are always profoundly disturbed, and when 1t is over they are left so sensitive that the patient has to be guarded against all excitement. In the tonic treatment then demanded, regard must be paid not only to building up flesh but also to strengthening the nerves. A remedy that will do both. make sound flesh to repair waste and give new vigor to feeble nerves. is the most convenient and economical. Such a remedy is Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
 One proof of this is tho experience of Mir. Charles Worth, of East Vassalboro, Maine. He says: "I had severe at tack of typhoid fever late in the fall which left ne very weak and debilitated. My heart palpitated. my breathing be- came difficult after the least excrtion and there was numbness in both hands. suffered Ill that way for fully six months As did not grow out of 1t, did not in fact see the slightest improvement as time passed, decided to use Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills as knew of some cures they had effected in cases like mine.
 Almost as soon as I began taking them 1 could see decided improvement and after keeping on with them for several weeks was completely well. I consider Dr. Williams Pink Pills a most valuable remedy, and 1 am in the habit of recommending them to others afflicted as was"
 When the nerves ache and trem. blc 1t means that they are starving. The only way to feed them is through the blood, and the best food is Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

They are sold by all drug. gists. or may be obtained directly from the Dr Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenec. tady, N, ',
