Perry Hall, 18th District. The Young
Peoples Christian Association that was lately
organized in St. Michael's Lutheran Church
holds meetings every Sunday night, with q
of the president, Mr.. George A. Walter, ably
assisted by Mrs. Mary E. Moritz. The social
lately held by these young people in the school
house resulted in a handsome profit 1t is
much better that the young people should de-
vote themselves to such gatherings on Sundays
than to engage in pastimes that are not profit
able and often a violation of Gods laws.
The above organization gave Mrs. Moritz a
surprise party last Tuesday night at the home
of Mr.. John Vogt. Several hours were very
pleasantly spent.
The Ladies' Aid Society of St. Michael's
Church met on the 9Th instant at the home of

Services will continue in this way until the 1st
of July next, when the new pastor OF the

Winder Is that so? 1t is hoped the authorities
may soon succeed in finding the lost article.

Before the rain and snow of this week the
farmers were actively engaged pushing their
spring work, but the bad weather has rudely
checked these operations and nothing more
can be done until after St. Patrick's day.
The Winder matter has been the leading
topic in this community and one hears it on
every hand. Some people have been on the
lookout for the fugitive and it is said some
even set steel traps for him.
The railroad surveying corps that have been
at work in this neighborhood have caused
great deal of comment and speculation. One
of these is at work for a steam road 3D. o. and
one for an electric company Everybody has
an idea that property is going to advance in
price in consequence of these movements and
some would be spectators want to buy land
near the proposed routes.
Mr. p E. Soth, auctioneer, of this place,
conducted very successful sale in Hartford
county on the 9Th instant. Everything sold

Phoenix, N. G. r. R.-It would seem that
the people of this neighborhood are having
the time of their lives in the way of excitement
over the Winder affair. Some of those who
are supposed to have been after this fugitive
have been guilty of some things that make
them little better than the man they claim to
have been pursuing. In the condition they
were they would not have known Winder if
they had met him in the road.
A party of these alleged Winder hunters
visited the farm of MIR. George Frame, which
is occupied by Mr.. V. w. Cross. After getting
permission they went into the barn and the
first thing they did was to empty a flask of
whisky. Throwing down the flask they started
to make the search and SO thorough was this
that they did not leave an egg behind them,
but the shells were there as an evidence of
the brave foray of the gang.
The Y. P. P. e. of Phoenix will hold an ice
cream and cake social in the town hall, on
Saturday evening, March oath, beginning at
o'clock. Public invited. G.

wrNpER STILL AT LARGE.

Isaac Winder. the colored murderer of Gate
jail on Monday night, March 9Th, is still at
large. Many reports have been in circulation
this week about the negro having been seen by
several persons in the county. but il is believed
that most, if not all, of these we're "fake''
stories. The last one was that Winder was
seen Thursday evening heading for Baltimore
by way of the Hartford road, and the officers
were in hot pursuit. but without success. Sew
eral arrests of colored persons have been made
upon charges of harboring the fugitive and
assisting him in his efforts to escape. One of
these is the mother of Winder, who lives in
Baltimore.

Breezy Lecture by Mr.. Perky.-Mr. h.
d. Perky, who has acquired large slice of
Baltimore county's real estate in the neighbor
hood of Glencoe, N. G. 4. r.. where he will
lecture at Lehmans Hall. Baltimore, last Mon
day night on the True Causes of Physical,
Mental and Moral Degeneracy and Decay"
All these he traced to the lack of proper
materials in the foods fed to women and chill
dren The lack of soluble phosphates in food,
he said, drove strong men to drink, and weak
women and children to disease and death.
He scored the college professors for their
failure to teach the most important lessons
that can ever be learned or studied-namely,
those about the proper constituents of food,
and the right ways to have them cooked He
assailed the Beef Trust for its killing of sick
cattle and putting poisoned carcasses upon the
market.
He paid his respects to DR.. Osler for his re-
marks about men over 40 and said that his own
best and most successful work had all been &C.
complished since he was 81 He said he was
born in Ohio and was brought up on farm,
where man is the natural king. He became
alawver Late in life he went to Massachusetts
and says he found a large percentage of the
yankees suffering from physical degeneracy
caused by living. on an absurd diet of indiges-
tible pies and doughnuts made from white
flour from which the needed phosphates had
been ignorantly but thoroughly extracted.
The lecturer traced rheumatism, indigestion,
consumption and appendicitis to various forms
of food made from fine white wheat flour.
Bad teeth and "rickets' come from the same
cause, he said.
He said he had travelled all over the world
and had found Dread, in Baltimore coauty, the
garden spot of the earth. He prepared map
of the school as the center of civilization,
drawing circles around it 200, 500, 1000, 1000
and 5000 miles in diameter. The 200 circle
takes in New York, the 500 Montreal the
Q 50O Europe and the 1000 China India and
Japan.
He expects to open his school for boys May
| LIST. and to use the cotton-duck mill at Phonix
as factory to manufacture pure food. He is
| the inventor of shredded biscuit, but has nc
longer any financial interest in that enterprise

Another Suburban Town on the Har.
ford Road.-Steps have been taken by the
City and Suburban Realty Company and the
both Of which DR.. George G. Wagefarth is pres.
ident, toward the dividing up of the 215 acres
of land recently acquired at Hamilton, Har.
ford road, into building lots and the erection
of $50 up-to-date dwellings on Evergreen Lawn,
the adjoining tract of 40 acres.
Fifteen two-story houses, with iron spot
brick fronts and cement walks and lawns in
front of them, have been completed and an
architect has been commissioned to prepare
plans for the erection of 10 other dwellings.
which. with those now standing will front on
the Hartford road.
Evergreen Lawn is the old Wiessner estate,
on which is still standing the mansion occu-
pied by the family of the late ]. F. Wiessner.
1t is the idea of DR.. Wegefarth to construct
modern dwellings around this mansion and to
build up the suburb of Hamilton, with the
mansion as summer boarding house or resort.
The spreading trees that dot both sides of the
driveway will remain and the driveway will
be reconstructed into q walk. Hedge fences
are to be grown around the yards of the dwell
ings, and when houses are built on Hamilton
avenue, which are now being planned, there
will be an open space between the yards and
the mansion of about two acres, which will be
fitted as a playground. Two artesian wells
have been sunk. one having been drilled
through 1856 feet of solid rock and it is xpected
they will supply water for the dwellings.
tank to hold $4,000 gallons of water will
be erected on a steel tower, so feet high, on the
highest point of the property.
Surveyors have been at work for several
weeks stalking off the lots and the company
has sold 35 lots. The purchasers intend to
improve them as soon as the titleis transferred.
Plans are now being made to clear away the
100 acres of timber land on the tract.

Jacksonville and sunny brook, 10th Dis
trict-The people of this community regr ct
very much to see the jesting and alleged joking
that has been going on through the papers and
otherwise regarding the Isaac Winder case.
We think it is q serious matter and not one
to be laughed at and joked about. Those who
profess Christianity feel that it is matter to
be carefully looked into and it is their belief
that water should be used to quench thirst in
stead of the beverage that appears to have been
so freely INDUCED in by some who have been
on the hunt of the escaped criminal. Ofcourse
there are those who cannot help but smile at
1.-The open Jail door, but upon the whole it is
a serious matter. 1t is hoped those who are
in pursuit of the fugitive may escape without
any bodily injury. The peace and quiet of
last Sunday was highly appreciated after the
excitement of the previous week growing out
of this now famous case
There was a large attendance at the meeting
of the Sweet Air Lyceum last Saturday night.
Mrs. w. L. Schmalhorst, who was organist,
sang solo that was much enjoyed, and 1.-The
Critic" read by Miss Alice Price, was unusually
spicy and interesting. Miss Hendrix recited
and Miss Grace Payne read selection. Mr..
Thomas Burk and sister sang duette. The
subject debated was: Resolved, that the pull
pit affords a greater field for eloquence than
the bar" and it was handled in an able and
interesting manner. Most of the audience felt
sure that the pulpit had the best of the argu-.
ment, but the judges decided in favor of the
bar.
On Sunday morning last Rev. w. L. Schmal-
horst preached an able and interesting sermon
at Chestnut Grove Church on "Habits." The
pastor finds great satisfaction in the large and
regular attendance of his congregation. This
is always encouraging to the minister.
Communion services were conducted last
Sunday afternoon at Fairview M. e. Church
South by the pastor, Rev. John R. Jacobs.
He will preach his last sermon before con-
ference at that appointment next Sunday af-
ternoon, which will, OH account of the time
limit, conclude his pastorate of the circuit so
far as this church is concerned. He is much
liked by his people and they will give him up
reluctantly. The church has prospered during
his pastorate.
Miss Foard. of Hamilton. near Baltimore, is
visiting friends in this neighborhood.
Mrs. James Jackson, of Jacksonville. has
gone to Annapolis to spend some time with her
son, Mr.. Aubrey Jackson, who is resident of
that city.
Miss Hattie Conkling led the Young Peoples
meeting at Chestnut Grove Church last Sunday
night Her subject was, keep Thy Tongne
from Evil and Thy lips from Untruth and
Guile" She spoke most interestly and adj
monished her hearers to guard their tongues

Store and Dwelling Burned.-The large
frame store and dwelling of Mr.. William Yves

were destroyed by fire about o'clock on Fri
day morning, 10th instant. The fire is supposed
to have been caused by defective fiue and il
had gained so much Roadway when discovered
that very little of the contents was saved. The
loss will reach several thousand dollars, with
no insurance. Mr.. Wesley is brother-in
law of DR.. A. G. McCurdy, of Towson, theiI
wives being sisters. Mr.. Wesley was for year
