TWO BARNS BURNED.

The barns of Messrs. George n. Shears
and Cover H. Cole, who reside on ad-
joining farms at Spesutia Narrows, and
whose residences are not more than a
quarter of mile apart, were both de
stroyed by fire on Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Shears barn was the first to catch,
and the wind carried the sparks to Mr..
Coles. Both buildings were completely
destroyed, together with a large guam
tity of grain and provender, farming i'm
plements, wagons, carriages and har-
ness. The live stock was all rescued.
The farm on which Mr. Shears resides
belongs to Mr.. c. w. Baker. The build
ing is covered by insurance in the Har-
ford Mutual Company, but Mr.. Shears
was uninsured and his loss is about
81 900 The farm on which Mr.. Cole
resides belongs to DIR. William S. Archer,
of Bel Air. Both building and contents
are insured the former i'll the Cecil county
company and the latter in the Hartford
company. A granary and barrack, the
latter containing considerable hay, were
also burned.
1t seems strange that the sparks should
have carried the distance they did, as
there was no very high wind at the time.
When the alarm was given, number OF
persons went from Aberdeen in automo.
biIes and rendered what assistance they
could in fighting the flames. but owing
to the limited supply of water the work
did not amount to much.
Two children of Mr.. George Shears
were in his barn at the time the fire was
discovered and probably would have lost
their lives but for the timely aid of Mr.
William Slatterly, who carried them out
Mr. Shears house ignited several times
| but was saved

will be held this, Friday, evening at the
same time and place.
1t il proposed that the club meet once
week for seven months. beginning with
October, and is to be under the leadership
and instruction of Mr.. Musgrove Ro-
barts, who recently success fully conduct
ed "The Holy City" which was given in
Bel Air two weeks ago. If a permanent
membership of not less than 100 persons
at So each can be secured, the services OF
Mr. Robarts can be obtained. 1t is pro-
posed to give three oratorios, cautatas,
or other standard pieces of music, the
proceeds from two of which shall go to
the members Of the club or be devoted to
the establishment of a permanent library
of music. The strength of this organiza-
ton will be materially added to by
number of prospective patrons-that is,
persons who will not directly participate
in the events, yet are willing to subscribe
towards the organization, which will
mean so much general good to the COM
munity. There is no question but what
good music carries with it high moral
tone, and there is no walk in life which
will not show the material benefit of an
organization having this character of
work in view. The music in the different
church choirs will show the effect of this
cultivation for years to come.
1t is not intended to make this local
affair and committee has been appoint
ed to solicit members outside of Bel Air.
The county seat is now more easily acces-
sible on account of number of good
roads, and there is no reason why vicini-
ties within or miles should not con-
tribute towards the membership. There
is no question but what the organization
can be effected if the proper interest is
shown, and everyone is particularly
urged to be present this, Friday, evening,
when the committee on membership will
make preliminary report.

BASE BALL.

The Bel Air base ball club defeated
the Winchester, Virginia, team in a we'll
PLAYED game on Monday afternoon at
that place. There was big attendance.
and the score, 8 to 2, caught the crowd.
The Winchester boys owe their defeat to
their inability to hit Wege, Bel Airs
pitcher. The victory of Bel Air can be
more appreciated when it is remembered
that Winchester has won 40 games and
lost only 9 during the present season.
The Bel Air club lost the series with
the Winchester club by dropping the last
game, the score being l to 0. 1t was a
fine exhibition of ball playing though,
and was much appreciated by the big at
tendance, who witnessed the struggle.
The Bel Air club was not so fortunate
on Tuesday. and in a general smuggling
match, lost to the Winchesters, the score
being Is to 10. The locals got % hit:
off of Nichols, while BEL Air made 13 of

appeal to the larger children to act as leaders

Phoebe MulIineaux: The school should
bring the children into right relations with
the people around them al home as well as
at school. One of the most important lessons
to be taught as soon child enters school
is unqucstioning obedience.
Sallie p. Galloway: In the schoo-room
we need Joyous effort rather than stiffness.
Do not repress individuality. DO away with
uninforced rules-an uuinforced rule is al
| ways demoralizing. Trwmore guidance and
less coercion-and impress upon the children
the dignity of willing obedience. Good order
is only possible when there is sympathy es
| tablished between the teacher and children.
A little praise often helps more in keeping or
