Mast

Mr.. Ernest w. Warfield. aged
30 years, for 10 years cashier of
the st. Louis County Bank, at

prominent merchant at Bolivar,
MiddletOwn Valley, committed
suicide Friday last, the 21st inst,
shortly after noon.
After looking over some papers
at the bank, Mr.. Waffield at
II. 50 p. M, seated himself at an
open desk, in which he saw a 40
caliber revolver. Picking it up
he placed the muzzle on the rim
of his hat and fired. The bullet
passed through the headpiece and
penetrated the temple, causing
his death one hour later.
Mr.. Warfield was one of the
wealthiest residents of st. Louis
County, his fortune being esti.
mated at 81. 900, 600. He received
a salary of $1,000 per year and
lived in the finest residence of the
county, his home having cost him
about $3.50 His wife died
four years ago while he was hav-
ing the handsome home built for
her and ever since he had been
brooding over her death. FA
many months he had been a sui
ferer from an incurable stomach
trouble and it is said had eaten
practically nothing for weeks and
had slept but little. This was
undoubtedly tine cause Of his act.
He leaves his entire fortune to
his four daughters, with small
bequests to other relatives.

Washington and How ard
Counties Endorse Amend
ment.

In resolutions adopted at the
convention of the Democrats of
Washington county in Hagerstown
Tuesday, the Poe Suffrage Amend
ment was Endorsed in the strongest
terms, the party in the county
pledging itself to leave no stone
unturned to insure the passage of
the DISTINGUISHING bill at the cleo
ton in November.
The committee on resolutions
was some time in preparing it's re
port, although it was understood
in the convention hall that the
document would be favorable to
the Amendment.
The resolutions urge the neces.
sity of the dominance of the white
man in the State and direct the
suffragists to the Poe Amend
ment as the only means Of guar
anteeing this dominance to them
selves and to their children after
them.
The Howard County Democra.

county ticket and heartily end0rs-
edthe Constitutional Amendment.
The following is the make up of
the county ticket:

Another fine building is guar
anteed Brunswick. The Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Com
pany agreed to erect a Young
Mems Christian Association
building, to cost not less than
S15, 900, the only condition being
that the citizens of Brunswick
raise So, 400.
This sum has been oversub-
scribed, which is due TO the
energetic work of Hon, James
Congdon, of Camden, N. j.,
who came here in the interest of
the project and who was mater

public spirited citizens as u. s.

SCHOOL COMMISSIONER
NAMED.

Rev. Isaac M. Motter Succeeds
the Late Samuel Dutrow-A
Reformed Minister and Ma
tive of County.
Governor Warfield on Friday
last appointed Rev. Isaac NJ.
Motter, retired minister of the
gospel living near this city, a
member of the Board of School
Commissioners for Ere derrick
county, succeeding the late Samuel
Dutrow, President of the Board.
The Commission was received
on Tuesday morning last at the
Clerks Office. The consideration
OF a successor to the late Presi-
dent of the Board has been be-
fore the Governor for some time.
The time for which Rev. Motter
was appointed expires in 1908.
When the. Commissioners meet
about the Sth of August or as soon
as Examiner Boblitz has the office
work ready for their consideration,
they will proceed to organize by
electing President. When Mr..
Dutrow died, the Board appointed
DR.. Il. Boteler Gross of Jefferson,
President pro ten. 1t has been
the precedent for the Board to
choose its presiding officer from
Frederick City, but there is no
rule on this subject and the mat
ter rests entirely with the Board.
Rev. Mr.. Motter is minister of
the Reformed church, but has not
been engaged actively in minis
terial work since the spring of
1898, when he resigned the pastO-
rate of the Reformed church at
Adamstown, this county, after a
service there of six years. Prior
to going to AdamstOwn, he was
for sixteen years pastor of the Re-
formed church at WaynesborO,
Pa. Since leaving Adamstown,
he has occupied, with his family,
a suburban residenc just beyond
the northern limits of this city.
He is a native of Emmitsburg,
this county, and graduate of
Mercersburg College, Mer GERS
burg, Pa.
His son Guy X. Motter, was a
candidate for the Legislature on
the Democratic ticket in 1908, and
although defeated made a most
creditable fight.

Fix up the City Opera House.

I Ia up Lu6 OlCy opera I1OuS0.
With the leasing of the City
Opera House for another year at
considerably advanced price,
comes up the eternal question
"when will it be properly fixed
up so that high class companies
can produce their attractions to
the best advantagegn 1t is true
that certain improvements have
been made lately that in a meas
ure show for the money expended,
but The main part has been over
looked. The stage needs remodel
ing more than any other thing
and it would not require such
great amount 70 do it. The fire
escapes were needed and so was
the lowering of the orchestra pit,
but these things are purely sup
Elementary The stage is the
thing and without adequate room
and proper accessories, it is futile
to try to get good shows to come
here. They cannot put on their
scenery and the people do not get
the worth of their money. This
is the truth and no amount of
subterfuge can hide it.
1t is an injustice to the lessee and
the city as we'll, as with and up
to date stage. the city could de
mand more revenue and the mana
ger be better able to cater to the
public, thereby making it all
around a better inves ment.
Frederick is entitled to better
amusement place aud it would be
to the interest of the city to see
that it gets it. Good shows could
be procured and the public would
patronize them more literally
than in the past, knowing that
they could be presented to the
best advantage.

Death Of Mrs. Mamie Dorsey.
Mrs. Mamie Dorsey, widow of

Mrs. Martha Matilda Anne
Dorsey was about rs years of age.

Op Claggett's oldest son, and she

native of Rockville. Mrs. Dor
sey lived for many years GU Law
yer's Hill, at the Relay House,
and there her husband, who was
a well known Baltimore business
man, died about 80 years ago.
Up to the time of her death she
was very active and travelled
around a good deal, dividing her
time among her several children.
Mrs. Dorsey leaves three sons and
one daughter, as follows; Robert
Edward Dorsey, now living in
Texas; Grafton d. Dorsey and
Richard Martin Dorsey, both sue
cessfpl business men in New York,
and Mrs. r. Bruce Wallace, of
Oak Park, Chicago. All of them,
except Mr.. Il. E. Dorsey, who
could not be reached in time, were
at their mothers bedside when
she died.

IN WILDWOOD PARK.

Farmers of Four Counties Pic.
mic at Mount Airy = Crops
and Politi cs A bsorbing
Topics.
The fifth annual picnic of the
farmers of Carroll, Howard, Fred
erick and Montgomery counties
was held at Wildwood Park, about
a quarter of mile frOm the town
of Mount Airy on Thursday the
Goth inst. Before noon nearly
5000 people were on the grounds.
The picnic ground is in a grove
owned by Mr.. Edward Mullinix.
This annual event attracts
thousands of farmers. They came
with their wives and daughters,
and entertained their friends with
the products of some of the finest
farms in Maryland. From a
small gathering at Wildwood,
which five years ago saw its be
ginning, the farmers picnic of to-
day has gradually developed into
one of the most important even is
of the year to the people of Mount
Airy. In preparing for it men of
State and national Importance are
invited to be present and address
the crowd.
The orator of the day was Hon.
j. Mortimer Whiteh head ofIndiana,
past grand lecturerof the National
Grange, He talked on the subject
of farming, good roads and other
matters pertaining to agriculture
A feature of the picnic this year
was the large exhibit of machin-
cry and stock, which attracted
considerable attention. Original :
,ly, no exhibits were ever shown,
but this year a portion of the 20
acre grove was given over to a
machinery display, and the new
departure was a success in every
particular. A number of farmers
brought some fine stock, which
was likewise lined mp ia a promi.
nent place and looked over by a
large crowd Of people, who stroll.
ed from place to place about the
park enjoying,the day in renewing
old acquaintances and making
new ones.
The committee in charge, which
consisted of a number of,farmers
from each of the four counties,
was pleased at the success OF t he
pfcpic Those OF the committee
on the grounds were:

Ofhclals OF the Western Mary
land Railroad Company will prob.
ably send out engineering corps
in about ten days or two weeks
with the view of locating low
grade line from some point on the
main line at or above Westminster
direct to Williamsport says an
article in the Baltimore San of
the Goth inst.
The company's engineers have
previously made several what
they term reconoissances in this
territory. That is, the land has
been looked over, its topography
studied and such data collected as
will be useful when the actual
work of surveying begins. The
information gathered on these
trips has been compiled and is on
file in the company's offices for
immediate use when required. So
far, however, there has not been
an instrument in use nor any
working force engaged in locat
ing such a line as is contemplated.
AS is well known, it is desir
able for the company to over
come the heavy grades in climb
ing the Blue Ridge Mountains
and their approaches. When the
traffic of the road grows, as it is
expected to do when this line be-
comes part OF through East and
West trunk system by connect
ing up with the Wabash at Pitts
burg, the heavy grades now Ell
countered will be drawback to
quick transit and heavy hauling.
1t is said to have always been the
intention of the company to elimi-
nate these obstacles at the proper
time and when conditions justified,
but so far only preliminary work
has been done.
Two routes, it is said. are look &.
ed upon with favor. One starts
at Westminster and makes almost
a direct run to Frederick. 1t
then proceeds westward were
Catoctin and South Mountains are
encountered. These it is propos
ed to tunnel, probably with two
cuts, each about two miles long,
when a comparatively level coun
try will be struck to Williamsport,
where the Cherry Run extension
begins.
The other route begins on the
main line at or near the Monocacy,
north of Frederick. This, then,
traverses a fairly level country
and also a fertile farming terri
tory, striking the South Noun
tain at about the same point where
the tunnels for the Westminster
line were projected.
1t is impossible, it is said, to
make any definite locations or to
approximate even a possible route
until the actual surveys have been
made and the reports Of the engi-
neers received. Then when the
company decides to build, the
most economical route having the
lowest grades aud least curvature
will be selected When once the
work of construction is started. 1t
is said, it will be pushed with the
same aggressiveness that has
characterized the management in
all operations since acquiring a
railroad foothold in the East.
