Perry Hall, 18th District The marriage
of Miss Anna Gerst, daughter of MI and MIS-.
John Gerst, of Camp Chapel, and MI. henry
Suhry, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John sunny, OF
Putty Hill, took place at o'clock on Wednes-
day morning, in st. Jossph's Catholic Cnurcn'
Belair road, the pastor, Rev. Father Trnikhaus,
performing the ceremony. AT the conclusion
of the nuptial mass the young couple, accom-,
panied by number of their friends, repaired
to the grooms home where-a reception was
held
Mr.. Peter Gerst, of this place. is erecting
two-story cottage that will be occupied By his
son George as soon as it is completed.
The visit OF Jack Frost last week put sud-
den stop to all tomato and lima bean picking.
In fact he is better picker than all the people
put together for when he gets in the game all
the picking is done at once. But as soon as
the usual jobs are done others loom up. For
example, some of our people are already pre-,
pairing greens for Christmas decorations ana
some have large quantities ready to haul to
Baltimore when the holiday season arrives:
This is all right provided the greens" don't
turn to some other color and spoil on their
hands before the time for the annual visit OF
Santa Claus, still over two months Off
On Tuesday last Mr.. Conrad Fisher of this
place, burned a sedge field and the fire got be-
yond control and ran into the fence between
his property and that of Mr.. B. Seidl, de-
stroying consideral of it. It was only through
a hard fight that the Iatter's cornfield was
saved. It is likely Mr.. Seidl will expect to be
reimbursed for the loss of his fence, at least.
Some people have an idea that Perry Hall
will be known no more by that name because
the P. o. Department has wiped it off its map,
substituting r. f. d. for it. But this is all
mistake The village will retain its time-hon-
ored name and we will be known as hereto
fore as Perry Hallites.
Colds are prevalent among the people, attri-
buted to the sudden and violent changes in the
weather. One hears of almost as many reme-
dies for colds are there are stars in the firma-
ment. b.

made narrow escape.

Making Love by Long Distance" Phone
Is Costly. That airy nothings' by telephone
are expensive was indicated last Saturday in
suit filed against Miss Mary Cuttings Gillett by
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany, says the Baltimore Sun.
For conversations with an alleged sweet
heart in Richmond, Va, she is said to have
failed to pay S213.05. The young lady's family
is well known, and she recently attracted
public notice by declaring she was going on
the stage.
One of the astonishing declarations in the
suit is that Miss Gillett's telephone was so
conveniently situated that she could reach 1t
from her bed. This was when she lived in
the Brexton apartments, Park avenue, last
winter and spring.
For night messages in February, when the
protested time began, $3.50 is asked. All this
was for Richmond.
For words with the same person, presumably,
in March the much higher figure of $500 is
asked.
In April there was toll bill of just SS0.15.
Perhaps the one day less in the month might
In May but $3.50 was recorded, according
to the company's charge.
Then the records end. What the cause is
was not stated. OF course, the company
wouldn't know this, anyway.
On May 10th last II was announced that
Miss Gillett was to go to New York to study
for the stage and had accepted an offer to APP
pear in one of the Frohman productions.
Several days ago it was announced she had
returned to Baltimore to visit friends in Green
Spring Valley, and it was also said she had
abandoned dramatic aspirations for season at
least.
Miss Gilletti is daughter of Mr.. e. NJ. Gillett,
who was formerly engaged in stock farming
near Glencoe, Baltimore county. He is now q
resident of Howard county.

EXCELLENT PROGRESS MADE
Introduction of Evidence in the Greene
and Gaynor Case May be Concluded
This Week-Testimony Presented to
the Jury Yesterday.

Savannah, Ca, March 2s.-The ses-
sion Of the federal court in the Greene
and Gaynor trial today was devoted
largely to the reading Of testimony Of
a witness not accessible for the pres
ent case, argument for and against the
Introduction of the testimony of VIII
liam II. Flag of New York, and to the
oral examination Of two witnesses, j.
E. Nicholas, of South Carolina, and G.
c.. Cole. of Chattanooga, Tenn. The
testimony of Messrs. Nicholas and Cole
was designed to show the honest char
acter of the work done by the defen-
dants in Savannah harbor.
Excellent progress was made and it
is said that this week the introduction
of evidence may be concluded.
The witness not accessible and whose
testimony was read was Frederick
Crisp. of the house of representatives,
who is now in Panama. The court
overruled the objection of the govern
ment's counsul to the testimony.
Crisp's evidence related to the charac-
ter of the work done by Greene and
Gaynor which he had seen as an in
spector. He denied that the mattresses
were full of holes.
William H. Flag. of New York, has
been sought by officers of the federal
service for two months. The defense
submitted a physicians certificate to
the effect that Flags condition was
such as to preclude his coming to Sa-
vannah to testify.
The court refused to admit the tes-
timony of Flag, holding that the wit
ness had been evading service, and
that his present whereabouts were not
even given.
This is a very suspicious looking
showing" said Judge Speer. explaining
that he had no reference to counsel
for the defense but to Mr.. Flag.
j.. E. Nicholas of Conway, S. c.,
testified to having constructed mat
tresses for the Savannah harbor work.
He described the method of construc-
ton in detail, the questioning by coun-
sci for the defense being designed to
show that the allegations of the gov
ernment relative to improper and
cheap fashioning of the fascines were
untrue
