Union Depot for a Day.

Under the auspices of the Ladies Aid
Society of the Methodist Church, of
Oakland, and under the management of
Miss Myrtle Mae Critchfeld, of the
Kings School of Oratory, of Pittsburg,
there will be given by local talent play
next Friday evening at the Opera House.
The title of the play is, Union Depot
for Day." and is said to be filled with
unusually strong features which seem
to promise that it will be great hit.
Forty young people are in the caste,
and each of them is working as hard as
possible to make it a success. Every
one Of them seem to be interested in the
play, and this goes to confirm the rumor
that any one who cares to have laugh
and spend few hours away from the
serious half of yourself, will feel fully
satisfied if he or she goes to the Opera
House next Friday evening to see and
hear the play entitled, Union Depot
for a Day." Popular prices will be
charged for admission.

For the benefit Of the church debt. 1.5o0
members Of st. Josephs parish journeyed
to Marshal Hail yesterday and spent the
day
From every standpoint. the excursion
was the most successful ever held by that
congregation, and it aided greatly in
tightening the burden OF the church.
Headed by the pastor, Rev Valentine
Schmidt. and his assistant. Rev. Ignatius

morning boat. while many others joined
them in the afternoon and still more at
night

sweltering blasts of the city. a spirit OF
activity seized the exCursiOnists and
number of games began. Potato races
and quoits engrossed many Of the excur-

rambled through the shady woods
Men were unable to resist the tempta-

themselves with hooks and lines get
splendid reward for their patience.
With the arrival Of the afternoon beat.
dancing commenced. and from then on
until the pleasure grounds were deserted
the band did its share TO make the day
enjoyable.

and got the first glimpse of the monu-

No time was to be wasted. and all the
sightseeing automobiles in the city were
Immediately chartered, and In every inch
of space on these vehicles curious hu-
manity was soon stored. The megaphone
man Immediately became elaborate. and
before the trip was ended had told his
Maryland brethren of many wonderful
things about the city, and of many others
that are not about this city or any other.
But the megaphone man was not taken
at his word altogether, for as one OF the
party alighted. he said: That feller re-
minds me of Joe Miller; a regular medi-
cine show. I'm glad I didn't go to Mr.
Cbase's Theater."
Many others Of the tourists hied them
selves TO Arlington; and others, after be-
ing assured there was ample time, made
straight for Mount Vernon. More stayed
in the city. and saw everything The
weather made sight seeing anything but
comfortable. and many remarks, like 'T
wish I was back behind the plow," were
easily audible as the visitors crossed the
hot asphalt
One party Of old men who went to look
at the Thermometer at Afflecks sum-
moned courage enough to go In and ask
for some of that sOdy water" One
wanted vanilla, another lemon, and
another root beer. Used to bottled sarsa-

Although there Is a law regulating the

whether he ought 10 stop and arrest a

speed limit in his efforts to reach the bed

This was the opinion expressed by Com

answer to the complaints made by numer-
Gus local doctors as regards the practice
Of policemen in holding them up when
they are hurrying in automobiles to an
swer sick calls.
In many cases." he continued. "a min

think that if the physician gives his name

should permit him to proceed on his call.
