- The domestic servant problem is a most
serious one that confronts the housekeepers of
TOwson. There are plenty of idle colored
people here, but they are SO utterly unreliable

them for long about their premises. How
many of these people manage to live-idle and

- Mayor Tmanus has the most sensible
idea of the disposal of Towson run. He thinks
the stream, which now empties into Lake
Roland and is thought to contaminate its
waters, should be diverted, or carried around
the lake. This should have been done when
the lake was built. Baltimore city, and not
the people of Towson, is responsible for the
present trouble. and it should itself bear the
expense of remedying the evil.

are fond of seeing well kept and up to date

the vicinity of Taylor avenue, and cast an eye

zens who believes in backing up his polite and
competent overseer, Mr.. Frank Hiser, with

Bishop Paret and DR.. Eccleston.-Con-
gratulations and best wishes for continual
youth are extended to Right Rev. William
Paret, Bishop OF Maryland, who was 80 years
old yesterday, says the Baltimore NeUs of Mon
day. Bishop Paret, like Senator William
Pinkney Whyte, is remarkable man for his
years As head of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the diocese of Maryland he has
many duties to perform, and he performed
them during the last year with his usual &C.
tivity. In fact. he paid more parochial visits
than be had made in some other years in adj
dition to doing other work. And this re-
minds us that Rev. DIR. J. Houston Eccleston,
rector of Emmanuel Protestant Episcopal
Church, has returned from a six-month tour
abroad. during which time, with several other
clergymen, he visited historical places in the
Holy Land. Rev. DR. Eccleston has very
tight hold on the affections of the communi
cants and the attendants at Emmanuel. He
is typical pastor of bis flock in his personal
interest in every member of it, and his strong
grasp on his congregation is due to very
great extent to his sympathy so promptly and
delicately extended in the hour of trouble.
The veteran minister justly received warm
and generous welcome on his home coming.
DIR EccIeston is an uncle of Mr.. Samuel N I.
School Board. Eccleston Station, on the
Green Spring Branch Railroad, is named for
him.
Ground Broken for New Church-At
O'Clock on Monday afternoon last ground
was broken for the new Methodist Episcopal
Church to be erected ON Park Heights avenue,

elder of the West Baltimore district, and were
of most interesting character. After prayer
by Rev. r. l. Watson, pastor of Harlem Park
Church, brief addresses were made by Rev.
