'If Birmingham can entertain the Con- federate reunion, thing which she has so readily undertaken to do, we feel sure she can take care of the Travellers Pro- tective associations national convention" :"
 said delegate who is preparing to leave for this years session.
 "There are five delegates from the Blr- mingham post who are plannig for all they are worth to bring the a0O people to Bir- mingham next year. They have written to many other delegates, requesting their cooperation.

Snow in New York

On the second day of June snow fell in New York, not alone on the noun tain tops of the state, but also on the tops of the skyscrapers In New York city. There was touch of midwinter in all parts of that state. The summer homes in the Catskills, many of them occupied, must have kept servants busy in piling on Yule logs or any other old logs that had heat in them that could be released by combustion.
 Nor is this all. We have our own weather troubles. Vice President Fair banks is headed southward. He will remain in Chattanooga until tomorrow, and 1t is feared he will visit all the states that are about to select dele gates to the republican national con- .vention. If so, our weather cannot well become sizzling hot. It cannot do 1t if 1t has any respect for the second officer in uor government.
 Then, too, the weather bureau looks for genuine summer weather before the end of the present week. This knocks Hope out altogether, for any thing the weather bureau looks for rarely succeeds in putting in All in all, / the prospect Is not encouraging. But let us not despair. MT. Fairbanks may be called back to the middle west, and the weather bureau may issue a new lot of predictions.

FLAG Raising.

One of the most interesting and enjoyable
occasions was held at Mahlon's School, on
Saturday afternoon, April 26th, when the Jr.
0. U. A. M. of Gambler presented the school
with II flag.
The program, a most excellent one, was
beautifully rendered. The pupils of the
school deserve praise for the manner in which
they rected and sang and we are sure the
teacher Miss G. Lester, may feel that her
labor was not in vain, as was shown that after
noon by the way in which her pupils repre-
scented the splendid work she is doing.
Dr.. Simpson, the county superintendent,
was present at the exercises of the afternoon
and delivered an address. The program was
as follows: Singing, America, by the school;
prayer, by Rev. S. F. Cassen; welcome ad
dress, Margaret Buckingham; recitation,
Keep Our Banner Flying, May Klee; reading,
Sketch of Flag, Margaret Buckingham; sing
ing, Maryland My Maryland; recitation, Our
Flag, William Caple; recitation, Our Colors,
Edna Zepp, Evelyn Jones and Annie Stem;
recitation, Our Flag, Harvey Davis; duet,
Honor of the Flag, Bessie Zepp and Mile
Spencer; recitation, Keep Our Country Free,
Herman Green; recitation, Under the Flag,
Bessie Zepp; singing, ''Hear Our Country's
Call; recitation, The Flag We Love, Mile
Spencer; duet, Hurrah for the Flag, Lille
Stern and Margaret Buckingham; recitation,
The Beautiful Flag, Eurith Zentz; address, by
Rev. S. f. Cassen; reading. by the kid of
the Order" George Gardner; presentation of
Flag, DIR. Simpson; response, Mr.. Dewitt
Simpson; singing, Star Spaugled Banner.
At the conclusion of the program refresh
ments consisting of cake and lemonade were
served in abundance.

Recital at Union BRIDGE.

On last Thursday evening, April %, Misses
Elizabeth Gilmore and Katharine Shriver
Slagle, and Miss Nettie Alice Whtmore, of
this city, gave recital in music and elocution
in the Reformed Church of Union Bridge.
The receipts will be used towards making
some improvements in the church. The
touse was well filled with an audience who
showed great appreciation of the attractive
program.
Miss Slagle's skillful interpretations of such
masters as Chopin, Rubensteine, Mcdowell
and others were beyond criticism. Her mus
ical powers are well known in this community,
where she has already won an enviable repu-
tation.
No less enjoyable were the selections by
Miss Katharine Slagle, who charmed all by
the melody and volume of her remarkable
voice. Every one was especially delighted by
the daintiness and naivete of her rendition of
that dear old Scotch air, Comm Through
the Rye" which she sang by request. Both
these gifted young musicians have been study
ing under one of the best instructors in Balti-
more, and for some time past they have filled
responsible positions in two of the city
churches.
Miss Whitmore, who is a graduate in elocu-
ton from Western Maryland College, gave
four Rotations, which furnished pleasing
variety to the program. The sweet rhythm
of Paul Laurence Dunbar's lyrics and the
tender pathos of the ill. fated "Blind Girl'' Of
Longfellow were rendered in studied manner
that won the attention of the audience.
The recital will probably be repeated in
another town under other auspices.

In BahaIf Of the Neglected.

On Sunday morning last State Supt. Geo.
81. Mock, of the Maryland Evangelistic Asso-
citation, preached at Sandy Mount M. P.
Church, and in the afternoon at Providence.
He was warmly greeted by his many
friends at Sandy Mount, and won friends at
Providence, where he appeared for the first
time. After each discourse he presented the
work of his Association in a most graphic way
and elected much interest. One of the feat
ures of the work was wisely and forcefully
explained of rescuing fallen women.
Mr.. Nock's experience has proven to him
that there is not serious difficulty in rescuing
girls from lives of shame if they have not been
long time victims of vice, provided there are
homes in rural sections to which they can be
quietly sent, and where they will receive kind
ness and help. He said there were many fam
lilies in Pennsylvania which had received pen.
itent girls, and these, in many instances, be-
came noble Christian women. He made a
plea that some childless homes would receive
such girls under their care.
While this is only one of several features of
Mr.. Nock's work. it is very important one,
and it is true what the speaker said: "The
church plays the coward In the presence of
this evil. Strenuous efforts are made to re-
form the drunkard, and to bring other sinners
under the influence of the Gospel, but the
woman who falls is deserted in her shame.
Prayer is mockery that does not embrace in
its sympathy and petition the lowest and foul
est of human kind.
Mr.. Mock delivered this week three lectures
in the county and was greeted by good audi
ences.
