Senator White in Frederick.

Senator Whyte, accompanied by his
grandson, Mr.. VIM. Pinkney Whyte,
spent several hours in Frederick Tuesday
morning on business. Senator Whyte
came over the Northern Central railway
and went from the station directly to the
law Offices of Messrs Coblentz & Waters,
where he transacted legal business in re.
gard to the Shipley estate at Thurmont,
the Senator representing the estate.
The legal matter that brought him
to Frederick was to arrange with the
Washington, Frederick & Gettysburg
Railway Company for right of way
through the property owned by the Ship
ley estate at Thurmont. At the office of
Cobentz & Waters he met D. Columbus
Kemp, president of the road, and in a
short time matters were satisfactorily
arranged. Frederick letter to Baltimore

value. So likewise, if we can but in
oculate a crank with enough common
sense and modesty, he will be worth
a hundred dilettanti or thousand
Elubmen.
1.-The final and most truly vital
condition of success in Kidding our
country of anarchism in practice is
that American public opinion should
recognize the utter emptiness, the in
herent folly of its theory and of all
the kindred ready-made, furnished
while-you-wait schemes for the social
regeneration of mankink. Civilized
society, as it exists today, if it be
nothing more, is the outcome of all
the strivings of justice and happiness
of the human race during thousands
of years.
What monstrous presumption,
what prcpostcrous conceit for any
man, were he the wiscst, the most
learned, the most Justly famous of his
own age or of all ages, to imagine
that, with but the dim pickering
lights of his own dull, feeble mind,
with but the few imperfect lessons of
his own short, ill-spent life to guide
his hand, he could cast down and
build up again this incredibly vast,
this infinitely complex fabric, and
improve on its structure.

which the Total Abstinence Union has
ever yet received from Rome. 1t will be
observed that the Pope not only gives
strong approval and great praise to the
work of Total Abstinence but recommends
all to become members of the Union. For
he says, "it is our hope that by conferr-
ing such abundant favors, not only bish-
ops, priests and men of religious orders,
but also the rest of the faithful may re-
solve to bear witness to their regard for
the union and become members of it."
Among those prominent at the conven-
ton was Rev. F. White, formerly pastor
of Emmitsburg, but now located at Ger
mantown, Philadelphia. Father White
is veteran in the cause of Total Absti-
hence and has rendered during long
service invaluable assistance. His friends
will be pleased to learn that the vener-
able clergyman held distinguished, act
i've and effective part in the convention.
Rev. Edward McSweeney, of Mt. St.
Mary's College, who during many years
has evinced practical sympathy in the
temperance cause, was unavoidably alb
sent, but sent dispatch, rendering con-
gratulations and best wishes. In the alb
sence of Father McSweeney who directs
the Total Abstinence Society at the Col
lege, Mt. St. Mary's was represented by
two students of the College at Providence.
Rev. G. H. Tragesser, pastor of st. An
thongs church, Mt. St. Mary's waspres-
ent at the convention and acted as dele
gate from St. Paul's T. A. Guild, Balti-
more.
Father Tragesser hopes to organize in
the near future among the people of the
mountain flourishing temperance socie-
ty. 1t is we'll known among temperance
workers that women may be of great
service in promoting the cause. They
have the most influence with the children
and will readily prevail upon their boys
and girls to take and keep the pledge
with the view of rearing sober and in
dustrious community. II the women
wish to check the evils Of drunkenness in
the home, they will do their utmost to
keep from the home all sorts of intoxica-
ting drinks and never offer them to visi-
tors. Hence it is to be hoped that tenn
perance society among our mountaineers
will embrace not only the men but also
the women.
While the Temperance Convention at
Providence was very successful and will
do immense good to promote sobriety,
those present could not but recall the inn
mense gathering of last year at Wilkes
Barre where the meeting was honored by
the presence of Cardinal Gibbons and
President Roosevelt
