The annual Children's Day exercises
held in Grace Methodist Protestant
Church, Bel Air, on Sunday evening were
much enjoyed by the large congregation
An interesting program had been ar.
ranged which included special singing by
the choir solos, Rotations. and an ad-
dress by the pastor, Rev. c. X. McCas-
lin. The exercises were conducted by

course and was awarded diploma for
having obtained the highest average re-
which carries with it substantial advan-
tages for The coming year.
Objections to tie sale of Notch Cliff
farm, which was advertised in the LEgis
several weeks ago, were overruled and
the sale was finally confirmed by the Cir

days ago. This is the large stock farm
containing 4S4 acres, owned by the late
John X. Cowan. and was purchased at
public auction by Mr.. William Hops for
| $4,000 The contest was because OF al
legged inadequacy of consideration.
DIR. J. Edward Harry. native of this
county, but now professor of Greek in the
University of Cincinnati and dean of the
post graduates school connected with
that institution, was welcome visitor
at our office on Monday. This post
graduate school last year embraced
graduates of twenty-eight colleges, in
Guiding eleven from New England. Prof
Harry will recuperate about three weeks
in Hartford, after which he will take his
family to northern Michigan for the
balance of the summer.
Mr.. L. E. Breuninger, who was born
and raised near Line Bridge, on the
Susquehanna river, but who has been for
a number of years a resident of Wash
ington city. was a welcome visitor at
our office on Tuesday. Mr.. Breuninger
is member of the Washington Automo-
bile Club, and in company with ten or
twelve other parties visited Gettysburg
battlefield on Sunday with his family,
and from thence went to his old home in
Hartford. He left Bel Air at 10 O'Clock,
expecting to reach Washington the same
afternoon.
Mr. John Lochary, of Kalmia. on
Tuesday morning met with painful &C
cident, which, in view of his advanced
years, 1t was first feared was of very
serious nature. While standing on the
runner of picket fence his foot slipped
and he fell with such violence on the
pickets that a rib was broken and his
side considerably MANNED. He did not
lose consciousness, however, and succeed
ed in reaching the house unaided. While
very sore and suffering from difficulty in
breathing, he is as comfortable as could
be expected at this writing.
The Board of Town Commissioners
are now having delivered on their recent
ly purchased lot lying opposite Mr..
Frank McLean's shops. the necessary
material for the erection of a house for
the protection of the town fire depart
ment The building will be 20 by 40 feet
and feet high. While this step cannot
be too warmly commended for reasons
set forth at length heretofore in The
Egis, we especially regret to learn that
in erecting this structure no provision is
being made for our volunteer fire depart
ment. The additional cost of carrying
need so great that we sincerely hope our
commissioners will modify their plans
before it is too late.

Vi luC SldlS, MISS RODluSOH dDOul lSu
years ago was elected principal of the
Frederick City Female High School, the
largest institution of its type in the State.
The severe tax on her throat has resulted
in its impairment. which requires COM
plete rest for a considerable length of
time; but there is every reason to believe
that the State will not be permanently
deprived of the services of such valuable
teacher. Prof J. T. White, fo1 merly
