"A distressing instance of paternal
affection occurred on Sunday when Mrs.
Mary Spangler, of Baltimore. was told
by a gentleman sitting next to her on the
street cars that her infant in her arms
was dead The mother several days be-
fore had gone to Aberdeen for the benefit
of her child which was suffering from
cholera infantum. Thinking on Sunday |
that 1t was greatly improv we'd the mother
returned to the city and was nearing her
home when the distressing discovery was
made The griet of both parents Is repre-
sented as having been pitiful in the e1-
treme.
| Few people comprehend how much |
the prosperity of Hartford hangs on the
weather of September. So deeply con-
nected with canning are the bulk of our
people that the weather at this time can
seriously affect for veal or woe a large
number of them. Tomatoes and corn

cept in lower Hartford have done much,
one large packer having put up only forty
bushels prior to a few days ago. The
tendency of the market is steadily up

ton and FIVE month old daughter, started
| to drive from the formers home on Mon
day The reins were crossed and the
horse was drawn to one side and the
carriage wheel locked. Mrs. Hindman
became frightened and threw the infant

from the vehicle, but was not injured.
The child fellin front of one of the wheels,
which passed over the infants head,
causing injuries that may prove fatal.

1t has been decided to build a new
agricultural high school building at
Calvert, Cecil county. The school has =
been conducted for the past year in
building owned by the Society of Friends.
The trustees ofthe Society of Friends were
willing to make lease of ground that
would be practically a perpetual lease,
but have not the power to sell. The
general law prohibits the erection of
school buildings on leased ground. Mr..
Joseph S. Pogue, who owns 200 acre
farm near the Friends school house.
required, offered to donate the ground
for the new school building. Ledger.
Indications point favorably to the
proposed trip down the Bay to the
Jamestown Exposition which Mr.. John
F. Oldfeld has arranged for the clergy of
Hartford to be taken in his magnificent
launch Hartford. The party aims to
start on next Monday and GO the first

the Potomac, where they will anchor in
Cornfeld harbor for the night. This

Mr.. Henry J. Hartley formerly OF
Hartford, but for upwards of forty years
past connected with Cramps ship yard
in Philadelphia, was a welcome visitor
at our office on Monday. Mr.. Hartley
was born near Chestnut Hill and his
near kindsmen, the Wheeler were among
the original parties who along with the
Moores patented the large tract known
as the Big Woods. Although engaged
in the construction of Graf to plow the
water deep Mr.. Hartley is deeply in
terested in the subject of good roads,
having made extensive observations
along this line in England, France and
| Germany. While he notes how far our
country is behind in the matter he e1-
pressed great qualification in what has
| been done in recent years in Hartford.
| The world is evidently treating him well.
"A largely attended meeting of the
dairymen doing business along the Mary
land and Pennsylvania railroad was held
in Bel Air on Monday to discuss the con-
dition of the milk trade While labor
and feed have advanced probably twenty
five per cent. during the past year the |
price of milk has made little if any ad- |
vance and those in the business find that |
they must have relief or quit. Loose |
milk is bringing seven and bottled milk |
eight cents per quart in the city, and |
dairymen feel that these prices to con-
sumers must be advanced two cents and |
the advance divided between the farmer
and the jobber. A full meeting is ex-
pected next Monday when the various
committees appointment the week before
will make their reports and recommend
concerted plan of action. Similar steps
have already been taken along the
Northern Central road.
Mock, of the Maryland Evangelistic As.
sociation, delivered an address on Sun
day night in the Presbyterian church at
Fallston. AS a prelude to his address
Mr. Mock paid his respects to the base
ball fad that has been largely introduced
into the Sunday school life of Baltimore
City, and warned the schools of Hartford
against being allured into acceptance of
such an innovation. He did not oppose
baseball as a sport, but denounced it as
Sunday school agency. He then ex-
planned the objects of the Maryland
Evaugelistic Association. In brief these
are as follows: (1) The gathering of
the children of the slums under religious
influences. (2) Missionary work in the
needy sections of the state. (3) Con-
ferences for Sunday school and other
religious workers are held throughout
the state az The rescue of fallen
women. (5) The organization of Sun
day schools at points where they are
, needed, and equipment ofthe needy ones.
