Mrs Elizabeth Anderson and son, of

two weeks with their cousins, Mr.. and
Mrs N. ii. Lcight, at High House farm,
Perryman. Mr.. Legoe has been employ
ed in the passenger cardcpartment of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad for 33 years

Ella, the 12-year. old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs Walter Everett, of Emmorton,
died on Tuesday evening under distress
| ing circumstances. About four weeks
ago she ran a nail into her foot. No par
ticular concern was caused by the wound
until a few days ago, when she showed
signs of lockjaw, and during the last
| thirtysix hours of her life her muscles
were entirely rigid and her suffering dis
tressing. She will be buried at Mt Car
mel NJ. p. church this, Friday morning.
Mr. William c. Rouse, brother of Mr..
| John G. Rouse, of Bel Air, and a member
| of the firm of Rouse, Hempstone and
! Company, of Baltimore, while riding on
the street cars few days since, extended
his arm a short distance out of the Win
dow, when it was struck by passing
car and the limb badly broken. The
accident occurred at a crossing and had
the ordinance on the subject which for
bids cars from passing while making the
turn been obeyed, the accident would
| not have happened.
An esteemed correspondent calls at
tention to the great usefulness brass
band may be to every community; and,
going on to show that while it is i'm
possible to maintain n band in any
section without local aid he dcplores the
fact that Bel Air does not help out as her
band deserves. We are sure that the |
people of Hartford place the martial
strains of a brass band second to no
music on certain occasions, and trust
that our men may have no reason to
complain of the support they receive
from their admirers
How nice it would be if more of our
kindergarten teachers in the city would
follow the example of Miss Bessie Hoop |
er, of Mt. Washington who is taking her
summer outing at the residence of Mrs
William l. Shure, near Darlington, and
teaching for two hours daily a kinder
garten in the Friends school house. 1t
is difficult to describe how interested
these tiny tots become in their play
work, and thus instead of struggling
with the burdens of warm weather and
nothing to do, they are entertained
pleasantly and proftably, laying a
healthy foundation for admission at a
later day into our standard public
schools.
Elsewhere will be found ar extended
open letter from Superintendent Wright,
bearing upon live educational subjects
of the day. which especially interest
school patrons in Hartford. In virtue of
its close touch to every home it should
| be read by the general public and not
merely by professional workers in the
schools. Coming, as it does from a
specialist in his line, and couched as it is
in moderate, but forceful language, it
will appeal to the intelligence of our
readers and should help to clear the at
mosphere with regard to any doubts
along certain lines of work now being
should as far as possible meet the in
teligcnt wants of their patrons
Nj Frank E. Gorrcli returned to Bel
Air last Friday from Columbus, Ohio,
where he had gone to assist in the or
ganization Of a state Gamers associa-
ton in friendly alliance with the National
Gamers Association. About two thirds
of the pack of the state was represented,
and those present enthusiastically
united in organizing. 1t was stated that
the pack in Ohio last year brought over
100000 into the state. but it was
possible that it might be curtailed this
year somewhat. as both corn and
tomatoes are in a backward state. The
assembly also took up before adjourning
the subject of Gamers insurance and dis
cussed at some length proposition for
securing cheaper rates of fire insurance
upon canning property, along the line of
a mutual benefit society. A committee
was appointed toinvestigate the subject.
