HAPHAZARD LEGISLATION
Something of inexperienced LegisIa-
tors who Jump at Conclusions.

President Stubs has all he can do
to attend to the State University with
out entering the real estate business"
said Assemblyman Reymers, when the
bill which was to allow the sale of
the State Experimental farm at Reno
was being discussed. There may not
be a grab, but l do not know it," he
said therefore l move that the bill be
indefinitely postponed" The motion
was carried and the farm will not ; ,
sold for time.
The above is fair sample of a.
way some men, who are sent here as,
lawmakers, have of disposng of LIZ
luic questions. Reymers who took I
very narrow and suspicious view Of
every bill that came up during the
session got an idea in his head that
there was some job afoot regarding
the sale Of the land. He did not stor
to investigate but took runnins
jump at conclusion and hit it a licI
on general principles.
There were good reasons for the
desire on the part of the President O
OF the University to dispose of tina
land for the best interest Of the inst
tuition. But Barney Reymers though
the state should not go into the rea
estate business. Well it may be new
TO him that the state has been buy
ing and selling real estate for som
thirty years or more. Yet this ha,
hazard remark uttered by a man VIII
had not investigated the matter eau

Reception to q Pastor.

On last Friday evening the official board of
Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church met
at the parsonage to begin the planning neces-
sary for the present conference year. The
ladies of the church, however, saw to it that
no business was transacted on this particular
occasion. The pastor had been left entirely
out of the plan, and was completely surprised
to find that instead of the score of men who
usually transact the boards business there
were enough persons present to fill the entire
house, kitchen included. So we'll arranged
were all the details that not single idea as to
what was to transpire had leaked out, even at
the hour set for the meeting. 1t was only on
the arrival of delegation, comprising almost
the entire membership and many friends OF
the church, that he was aware that the parson.
age had been literally taken by storm. ,.
Mr.. Simon P. Weaver, the recording steward
of the board, was master of ceremonies, and
after ably representing the board IN short
address, introduced as the next speaker Mr..
George R. Gehr, who welcomed the pastor
back to the church on behalf of its entire
membership. Mr.. Atee Wampler then made
the welcome address for the Sunday School,
and was followed by Mrs. S. K. Herr, who
spoke for the ladies of the church and the
Junior Epworth League, and Mr.. A. d.
Huber and Mr. 81. Peyton Gorsuch. as repre-
S6QL6tlVOS vi luc CutlIC Inv 60
dresses were replete with historical facts, re-
partee and humor, and if the pastor had any
doubt as to the nature of the welcome he
would receive on his return for the second
year of his pastorate, his mind was certainly
at ease ere his time had arrived for response.
This was made as only surprise complete in
every respect, coupled with the warmly
spoken words from the various representa-.
tives of the church could inspire, and was full
of thanksgiving that in one year the member
ship of the church and its friends had so fully
taken him into their hearts. After the re-
Spouse Mrs. Dohnea Nygren, Miss Florence
Ogg and Miss Azalea Shipley favored the
audience with readings, and Miss Jessie Starr
sang contralto solo. The ladies then took
charge of the program and saw to it that all
were abundantly supplied with various kinds
of cake and ice cream, after which there was
a hearty hand shaking and general "open
house" ere pastor and people said good night
and expressed many wishes for even more
prosperous year than the one just ended.
Rev. Mr.. Rider has won many friends IN
the years pastorate of Centenary Church and
Judging by the words spoken by the gentle
men representing the community is only as
yet in the infancy of his popularity.

a Former Carroll Countian Visited by
Jack the PEPPER
ia Baltimore SIM of April l6 saws

The Baltimore Sun of April 16 says:
Jack the pepper" is again in Woodberry.
so say some ofthe residents of Morling avenue,
small street that makes off from the Falls
road west of Merryman's lane.
Last Thursday night Mr.. Charles Stultz,
formerly of Westminster was in the kitchen OF
his home, 232 Morling avenue. when rap
came to the gate which leads from the back
yard into the front part of the yard
Mr.. Stullz answered the rap and was con-
fronted by a man apparently about 80 years
old, who asked about a man Mr.. Stultz had
never heard Of
The next night the same man came again.
This time he used a different name III asking
for the person he sought Mr.. Stultz, who
WAS waiting for the intruder, gave the man
good kicking.
The same night, evidently after he had met
with the reception at the Stultz home, he
called on Mr.. John Ray and after making
inquiries about some mysterious person he left.
MIR. Thomas Cole, who conducts grocery
on the opposite side of the street, thinks the
man slept in his stable the nights he made his
visits to the neighborhood, as in the morning
the door leading from the stable was found
unlocked.
Mrs. George Thurman, who lives on Nor.
ling avenue, next door to Mr.. Stultz, called
up the Northern Police Station when the
man made his second appearance, but he
disappeared before the officers reached the
place.
