Owing to aid received from the
Oblate Fathers, through Reverend
Father Constantineau, provincial,
the Sisters of the Incarnate Word,
while in no way compromising
themselves, will reopen their free
school on the 2ud of September,
under the title of Our Lady of
Guadalupe's Parochial School.
Brownsvillians may justly feel
proud to see that even from an
educational point of view the
Queen City is at the front and
vies with the larger cities of the
State. They will then manifest
their appreciation of the step that
the sisters, aided by the generosity
of the Oblate Fathers, have taken,
by sending their children TO the
parochial school.
This school, being conducted by
the sisters, offers to the pupils of
the same not only the training re-
ceived therein but the privilege of
passing to the academy without
entrance examination.

WhistIins to Rattlesnakes.

'Should you ever encounter a
rattlesnake and he shows fight,
Just begin to whistle softly and the
reptile will uncoil and lay with his
eyes closed and body quivering, 4"

Tenn. ION more than one occasion
1 have run across rattIesnakes and
have always taken the fight out of
them by whistliug. The snake
seems to become absolutely helpless
when he hears soft whistle and
will make no attempt to spring
upon you. This whistle appears to
soothe his anger and robs him of
fighting power. 1 saved my life on
one occasion in this manner. Try
it and you'll find that I tell the
truth. Nashville Tennesean.

A DISTURBING ELEMENT.

their people seem to enjoy more than

A KING AMONG KICKERS.

In the foot ball game between Prince
ton and the Carlisle Indians. which was
played in New York. on Saturday last,
the Washington Post has the following
to say of Mr.. Edwin H. w. Harlan, son
of Mr.. William H. Harlan, of Bel Air.
"Harlan's feat of kicking goal from
the 43 yard line against such strong
team as the Indians was remarkable in
itself, but, considering the fact that he
was standing in mud. that the ball was
so slippery it could scarcely be held, and
that rain was falling at the time, his feat
was nothing less than wonderful and
ranks as one of the greatest bits of kick
ing in the history of any kind of foot ball.
A Washington man who saw the game
said the ball scattered water like wet
sponge when it sailed from the quarter
back to Harlan for that effort, yet so
true and hard did he propel it through
the air it would have been a goal had he
been ten yards further from the goal"
Princeton defeated the Indians by a
score of 16 too

HALLOWEEN.

With the return of Halloween last
Thursday night came the elfs, some
prompted with innocent mirth and some
with the spirit of cowardly vandalism
which will crop out annually under the
cloak Of night. In Bel Air, some damage
was done, many amusing pranks played,
while sundry mirthful parties, we'll dis
guised, moved from house to house and
made merry for the inmates.
The night was celebrated with all the
mysticism and heart rending features
recorded in legendary lore at the residence
of Mr. and Mrs. Louis DeGoll, near Van
Bibber. Invited guests assembled in due
time, to be conducted, after all had ar
rived, to the barn to see what the COLLINS
might be doing. Having been marched
into the building, lights were extinguish-
ed, the guests tossed into the hay nov,
and Immediately sepulchral notes were
heard from one end of the barn, only to
be answered by not less mysterious
goblin from the other end. With hair
standing on end and wondering what
would happen next, suddenly fash of
electric light was turned on the spot from
whence the first voice issued, and the
guests beheld by its dazzling rays a
human form in ghoulish attire slowly
ascending to the roof of the barn and
down again. With eyes riveted on this
apparition, their terror was doubled to
find the same thing happening on the
other side, the effigies being worked by
means of small ropes attached to pulleys
fastened to the rafters. After their nerve
racking experience had rendered them
almost too weak to return to the house,
they were taken thither to engage in the
customary annual contests of capturing
dime in pan of -four and bobbing for
apples floating in a tub of water, the
mouth alone being used in each case with
which to grasp the prize. The climax Of
the evening, however, was reached when
one of the most distinguished bellies o.

From Hayre de Grace:

HAvRE DE GRACE, November 5.-Hal-
lowe'en was celebrated by our young
people for the most part in an orderly,
albeit somewhat hilarious, manner.
Groups disguised in various ridiculous
STYLES visited their neighbors and in some
instances INDUCED in harmless pranks,
but there was little that was unduly
boisterous. At st. Johns Parish House
there was Shadow party where many
of the masked participants displayed
great ingenuity in the grotesqueness OF
their costumes. At the Presbyterian
church a Halloween Social proved a
source of pleasure and profit.
The LIST of November is a red-letter day
in our calendar, inasmuch as it is the
beginning OF the ducking season. If every
shot fired meant fowl killed the slaugh-
ter must have been immense, for an
almost continuous firing could be heard
during the day from the direction of the
flats" A large number was killed, in
Guiding a good number of Canvasbacks,
although the latter were said to be very
shy and difficult to bring down.
Bishop Paret confirmed class of nine,
six of them young girls. at the +. +.
church this afternoon at four O'Clock.

BIG GAME,

These are the days when people are
looking for great harvests with trap and
gun. The President wrestles for two
weeks with the cane brakes of Louisiana
to capture black bear; while his secre-
tary, Mr.. Loeb, spends two months
among the wilds of the Rockies and re-
turns minus his handsome mustache,
which it is said was bitten off by a wild
cat, but bringing with him the petit of a
bear which rumor tells he captured after
it had climbed tree carrying with it a
steel trap fastened to its leg.
The trapper at the Eagle hotel was still
more literally rewarded few nights ago.
Thinking to thin out the rats which
forage in the larder a steel trap was set
which caught the family cat. Mr.. Tom
however did not surrender like demure
house cat, but boldly strobe away with
the thing of torture and has not since
been heard FROM The finder will please
keep the cat, but return the trap to Mr..
Lawson Cooley and receive liberal re-

spoken about Halloween witches and

The Halloween party which assembled
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. {. W..

very amusing, both as to costumes and
actions; some of the costumes so conceal

seemed" The usual games of this old
festival were participated in, causing

warning large hay barrack, thirty by
sixty feet was discovered to be enveloped
in flames and in the course of very
short time it was completely destroyed
with its contents. The origin OF the fire
is a complete mystery but it is supposed
to have been started by gunners, as this
barrack was a favorite haunt for rabbits.
There was an insurance of $3.50 in tie

on the landlords contents, and 500 on
the contents of the tenant, William
