Obituary.

About three o'clock Wednesday eve.
ming, the Goth day Of Septem Der, 1906,
the death angel visited Mr.. Samuel J.
Badgers home, near Yarrowsburg, Md.
and claimed for his trophy Miss Annie,
the eighteen-year-old daughter. She
was the youngest child in family of
six children. She leaves behind her,
for awhile, her father, mother, four sis
tiers and brother. May they be COM
forted of the Lord in their SORROWS, as
He alone can comfort when loved ones
are gone.
She was Christian, a member Of the
Brownsville Baptist Church. The
church will miss her very much. While
she was let to US, she served US well.
Friday at noon her dust was laid to
rest in the cemetery at St. Marks Epis-
copal Church at Brownsville, Md. She
was attended by her near relatives and
many friends. The family will miss
her, the church will miss her, and the
friends will miss her, but the Lord
needed her and took her.
She did not fear death, but could Joy
fully and truthfully sing,
BLESSED assurance, Jesus is mine
o, what foretaste OF glory divine
Heir Of salvation. purchased of God.
Born Of his spirit, washed in His blood. "
W BE thou faithful unto death, and |
i'll give thee the crown OF life"
Her pastor,
B. ID. PORTER.

The Narrow Escape of Mr.. Myers.

Fire on Friday morning destroyed
the dwelling.house of Samuel Myers,
living near Antietam, about three
miles south ofSharpsburg. Mr.. Myers,
who was sick in bed at the time and
alone in the house, did not know the
house was afre until the flames burst
into bis room. He succeeded in max.
ing his way out Of the dwelling with
out injury, although in state Of col.
lapse when he reached a place of
afety. Mr.. Myers daughter, Mrs.
Annabel Dsnohoe, lives with him.
She had taken little niece to school
some distance away and was gone
about three.quarters of an hour.
When she returned her father had
escaped and the house was a mass Of
flames. Everything in the dwelling
was burned.
Mrs. Donohoe lost $35 in cash, a
diamond ring, gold watch and other
valuables. Mr.. Myers also lost a
sum of money, as did his son, Clifford,
who had about $75 in his room. The
house was frame structure and the
total loss is fully 81, 200. There was
no insurance. How the fire started
is mystery. The only explanation
that can be given is that large
range in the kitchen became over
heated, setting fire to the building.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbllng sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroy

caused by Catarrh, which is nothing

Shepherd College News Notes.

The enrolment at this time exceeds
| that of last fall term and number OF
| students are yet due. The indications
are good for the best enrolment in the
history of the school.
Miss NJ. Eva Wright, the new in
structor of music has gone to work In
| her department with a vengeance. IL
her playing and her singing are a good
| indication OF what sort Of teacher she
| is, the department OF music is In ex-
ceptionally good hands this year. Miss
| Wright sings nicely and is an excellent
performer on the piano and pipe organ.
1t is expected that the school will
have q teacher Of elocution throughout
the year. The Principal has good ma
terial in view for that position.
Most of the regular school organiza-
tions have already been reorganized.
Among these are the Literary Societies,
the Cadet Corps, the Y. M. c. A. and
the Y. W. c. A.
Miss Gardiner and Miss Corbin, the

Miss Stalnaker is again secretary OF
the faculty. She spent the summer
travelling abroad and has many inter-
eating anecdotes to tell dealing with her

charge Of the boys athletics. Good
teams may be looked forward to In bas-
ket ball and baseball.
Mr.. Triplett has charge Of one of the

A rural mail carrier in Talbot coun.
ty, Md, found in box on his route
two unstamped letters intended for
the owner of the box, and put there
by someone in passing. The letters
were con6scated and sent to Wash
ington with request for a ruling.
The department approved the action
of the carrier and said that all mail
matter found in any box without
stamps or the proper amount of post
age must be taken to the postofice
and held for stamps. This ruling
means that the owners of the mail
boxes on rural mail routes have no
control over them.

Watch Made In 157S

A western jeweller has in his posses.
sion one of the six hand made silver
Swiss watches which were constructed
in England in IT'S. 1t keeps splendid
time and is more accurate than some of
the modern watches. 1t was in 1858
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters was
first made, and practical experience is
proving every day that it is far superior
to all modern remedies for curing such
ailments as sick headache, fiatulenoy,
heartburn, poor appetite, sleeplessness,
liver or kidney troubles, indigestion,
dyspepsia, cramps, biliousness, female
ills or malaria, fever and ague. No
matter how long } ou have been suffer
er the Bitters will positively help you.
Then why not get bottle to-day and
give 1t a chance to prove its merit. The
genuine has our Private Stamp over the
neck.

A GREAT political sensation has
been created in New York, by the
nomination of William Randolph
Hearst as the Democratic candidate
for Governor Of that State. Mr..
Hearst, who is the publisher OF the
New York Journal and has papers in
q number Of cities East and West, has
been taking an active part in politics
for some years past. He has made
strenuous war against the politicians
who have controlled both parties, and
has taken the side of the people
against the corporations and the
party bosses. He has attracted to
himself very large following, and
when he ran for mayor of Now York
last fall he came very nearly being
elected-he claims that he was but
was counted out.
Recently he was nominated for
Governor of New York by the INDIE
pendence League, and in the Demo-
cratic State convention last week,
despite the bitter opposition of many
of the political bosses and a number
of fierce personal enemies, he was
nominated for Governor on the first
ballot. He whipped Tammany Hall
out of its boots, and that ancient Or
ganization. recognizing his strength,
turned about and gave him its hearty
support.
Many of the leading Democrats
have bolted the nomination and will
work against Hearst, and he will have
arrayed against him the savage oppo-
sition Of the corporate influences and
the full strength Of the Republican
party. They are calling him anarch-
list, socialist and all sorts of hard
names, and almost all the important
newspapers OF the State, which are
jealous of him, will fight him. In
spite Of this, however, the great mass
&c of the people are with him, and
we shouldn't wonder if he wins.
We confess to a liking for Hearst.
He is dead against the policies that
have enabled the rich and powerful
to thrive at the expense of the poor
and humble, and he has made a con.
sistent fight against corruption and
injustice. He is fully as honest as
those who oppose him, and we hope
he may win and have chance to put
bis own theories into practice.
