Union EyangeIisric Service.

As previously announced. union evange-
listic service was held in Alumni Hall, West
ern Maryland College, last Sunday afternoon.
An audience of about 600 people, represent.
ing the Lutheran, Reformed, Methodist Epis.
copal and Methodist Protestant Churches, was
assembled by 3 o'clock, the hour for the SER
vice. and in addition to these there were on
the stage over 100 singers, This choir, under
the enthusiastic leadership Of Mr.. r. A. Har-
ris, of Baltimore, for the first half hour sang
with great earnestness and spirit some of the
best known Christian Endeayor Hymns, con-
tributing very large share to the success of
the service. But Mr. Harris possesses the
happy faculty of getting not only his choir but
his audience to sing and the volume Of song,
when he combined the two, was inspiring and
impressive. The speaker for the occasion
was Rev. DR.. c. E. Guthrie, of Strawbridge
NJ. <. Church, Baltimore, and he made
strong appeal for the living of higher and
better life. At the conclusion of the service
1t was announced that the same choir would
slug next Sunday afternoon and that the ad.
dress would be made by Mr.. Daniel Baker, Of
Baltimore.

broken in health have left the country, directly
as a result of the insurance investigation in
New York. A year ago they were financial
gianls-today their names are deep in dis
grace. 1t is firmly believed here that condi.
tons with which the Maryland legislature has
to deal, while possibly on a smaller scale, are
equally as rotten as those brought TO light in
New York. If the Benson committee but
accomplishes the half which the Armstrong
committee already has accomplished the State
will be we'll repaid for what il will cost.
The coneensus of appropriated opinion here
at Annapolis seems 10 be that the so-cailed
"Chinese Wall labor exclusion bills, are
really good things Apparently the bills in
sure. and insure only, that the laborers and
not the contractors shall receive the full
amount of the city of Baltimore's good pay.
ION the sewers and other improvement work J.
The bills do not prevent in any way the i'm
portation Of outside labor by individuals and
corporations, therefore how in the world is the
matter TO become corner? 1t only makes
certain that some of our Maryland taxpayers,
who will help to pay the bills, shall do the
work and earn the wages. Where is the un-
fairness? The bills are likely to pass.
In this connection, Baltimore organized
labor is calling attention to the fact, that after
the FIRE, when landowners, landlords and
everyone else in a position to do so were
squeezing the public and the city for all they
were worth, organized labor alone, although as
hard hit as anyone else, refused to take ad-
vantage of the situation.

The Baltimore and Ohio investigation is
going on from day to day. and already enough
evidence has been literally dragged from the
officials Of the company to indicate clearly
that all the surmises OF those who started the
affair are correct, and that the case against
the great corporation is even stronger than
WAS anticipated by anyone. Further develO
nents arr expected To show that the company 5
attempts 10 buucO the State have been con-
tiuuing one. and that for years the Maryland
taxpayers have been the victims OF one OF the
greatest frauds of the century, The commit
Zee and It's corps OF able attorneys have, how
ever, gotten down 10 work. and the way they
have made the railway officials squirm on the
witness stand has been peculiarly gratifying
10 everyone, for railway officials rarely ever
have any real friends.
Next week the appropriation bills will be
considered finally in the committees, and the
crowds here asking for money have beaten
the record. All sorts Of institutions have been
represented. and we're even the half to be
given, which is asked for, Ibe State would be
IN bankrupt condition for years to come.
Fortunately, the members of the committees

The compromise oyster bill has been re-
ported and is said TO be satisfactory TO all
concerned. When the measure comes up for
final action il will tell the tale, however. No
bill regarding oysters was ever satisfactory TO

SENATOR BEASAAN,
One Of the most popular members of the
Senate is Mr. Bsasman, OF Carroll. His long
service at Annapolis, both as a member of
the House and Senate, has made him one of
the best known members here. He knows
the rules of both Houses by heart, and often,
when the body gets into wrangle as to some
rule or order, Mr.. BeaSman quotes the proper
words aud sets everything right in a moment
As a member of the Finance Committee he is
always on hand and seems TO know just what
amount any Institution has been getting for
year : past. and what it needs at the present
time. He is a devoted friend of former Gov
eruor Frank Brown, and hopes to see him
back in the Executive Mansion before many
years have passed away.

called For.ion. on the wOlds between
Nation and Bridlington. 1t was very

world. the few inhabitants hardly
knowing the road over the hilltop to
the next place northward. The d.
minutive building which serves as q
church is built near the brow Of the
hill. II has no tower, bell turret or
bell cot. On inquiry found that 1t
had no bell. The parson came over
ON horseback now and then from a
neighboring parish, tied up his horse
outside the church. opened the door,
put OH his surplice and then walked to
the top of the hill and cracked his whip
