Hope to Beat Pearre.

We find the following among the Mary
land correspondence of the Washington
Sunday Herald:
The belief is abroad among the Demo.
Gratis of Western Maryland that there will
be good chance of defeating Col. George
A. Pearre for re election from the Sixth
Congressional District at the November
election.
For number of years the Democratic
nomination In the district has gone begging
and available candidates were not obtain
able, but this year, although the nominal
ing convention does not meet until August
Goth, the names of three aspirants have al
ready been brought forward by their friend
as candidates willing to enter the lists in
opposition to the Republican nominee
They are Edward W. Byron, Of Washing
ton county; John w. Young, of Allegany
county, and ii. Dorsey Etch;son, OF Fred.
erick. II 10 thought there will be more as.
pirants by the time the convention assem-
| bles.
Col. Pearre has served four successive
terms In the House of Representatives, hay
ing been each time elected by substantial
majoritles. Within a score Of years the dis
trict has several times elected Democrats to
Congress.
Col. Pearre was renominated early In the
spring, but not without considerable oppo'
sition In the various counties OF the district
He was bitterly opposed by the Lowndef
faction in his home county of Allegany, and
Montgomery county went against him In
the primaries by a vote OF nearly three To
one. The opposition to him in the other
counties was quiet, but quite pronounced.
Since his denomination the Republican
city OF Cumberland, hia home town, has
elected Democratic mayor by large ma
jority. which is regarded as significant OF
Republican disaffection, likely to have Q
marked effect upon the next Congressional
election.

A Delightful Affair.

One of the most delightful Of social events
was the afternoon tea and porch party at
the home OF the President of the Woman's
Club, Mrs. 4. II. Darby, situated near OAR
nestown. 1t was given to the ex-President
of the club, Mrs. Hugh G. Reading, on her
birthday, Saturday, June 9th.
Before her health failed more and more
it was Mrs. Readings delight to entertain
the young people of the neighborhood and
give them good time on her birthday.
The event Saturday was the beautiful and
generous thought of beautiful and gener
Gus nature. Mrs. Darby was ably assisted
by number of the club members and sew.
eral other friends.
One birthday cake 10 considered enough
but in this case more than dozen delicious
cakes were brought. The charming hostess
furnished lemonade, iced tea, crackers car
amels and other good things, all served in
fine cut glass and china, with dainty napery
Mrs. Darby was assisted In serving hel
guests by four little maids, her two charm
ing daughters and pretty little Willie Beal
and Bertha Schaeffer, all waiting with grace
and alacrity.
A more delightful spot could hardly be
imagined to hold a celebration in. The
roomy porch with vines of various kinds
was shaded on one side from the intrudng
sun and all rose encircled too. This home
is, without doubt, the most healthfully sit.
usted of any in that neighborhood. The
grounds are most attractive In arrangement

with few graceful shade trees. Near the
front entrance to the home is large group
OF attractive shrubs, and crimson rambler
rose grows in riotous profusion, draped
gracefully over its support.

dens we have ever looked upon. The thrifty
grape vines and fourishing fruit trees form

A dispatch from Washington TO the Bal
timore Sun, dated June 25th, says:
Vice-Consul John Brewer, a Rockville,
(Md.) "boy," has the distinction of "holding
down the lid" in Venezuela at the present
moment. While American diplomatic re :
lations with President Castro have been prac-
ticaly severed by the withdrawal of Jacob
Sleeper, the American charge d'afRaIres, and
Lieut.. Frances Ruggles, United States Army,
the military attsche, from Caracas, Mr..
Brewer has been directed to remain In
charge OF the archives Of the legation and
consulate, which are in the same building.
How long this arrangement will last de.
ponds upon what action President Castro
takes toward the withdrawal OF his diplo-
matte representative in Washington. II the
Venezuelan Charge In Washington is with.
drawn the entire American Legation will
doubtless be withdrawn from Venezuela,
and Mr.. Brewer would come home.
Mr.. Brewer Is q young man, well known
in Montgomery county and In Baltimore
He is a nephew OF William w. Russell, oil
Rockville, the Minister TO Venezuela, who
withdrew from Caracas two months ago
with bis family. He Is the son Of the late
William Brewer, who was q well.known
attorney at Rockville. The young diplo-
mat, who is yet under 80 years Of age, was
educated 10 the Rockville schools and In
the Emerson Institute, this city. He gradu-
ated from Princeton in 1901, after which be
went to Venezuels as legation clerk.
In September, 1907, Mr.. Brewer was ap-
pointed Vice Consul, the duties Of which
Office he has since performed In connection
with bis legation duties.
His mother, Mrs. Brewer, who Is sister
Of MIR. Russell, makes her home in this city
and at the old Russell homestead, at Rock
] vile.

Mirie Robey Lowery, beloved wife Of Aman
Lowery, departed this life, at the Garfield
Hospital, In tho City of Washington, on
Wednesday, May the 9th, 1908, at $3.50, P.
NJ, aged 40 years, 6 months and days.
born September 3rd, 1887; married Novem-
Der the l4th, 1907.
Mrie was only bride of few months {.
She was the youngest daughter Of Marian
w. and Berry R0bey, Of Burtonsville, Md.
She also leaves four brothers and Ave sisters
who mourn with father and mother for their
loved one whom they never shall see in this
world of sin, sorrow and death. But, dear
friends, weep not for Mirie, for your loss 10
doubtless her eternal gain. To the husband
family we extend heartfelt sympathy and con-
dolence. The writer visited Mrs. Lowery at
the hospital on two occasions and always
found her patient and submissive In her suf-
fering. We believe that this sweet reconcilla-
ton TO death and the grave was an eject OF
Gods grace, and hence while we mourn her
loss she is resting sweetly In everlasting
peace, She was not only patient and sub
missIve In her last sickness, but her tone OF
voice was sweet and MUSICAL as OF chas.
tened and subdued spirit entering into rest.
II 10 not unnatural for us to weep when our
loved ones pass away. The tie 10 so close,

be ushered out of our sight forever our hearts
are 80 sad. But God tells us In Rev. 2l:4
that He shall wipe all tears from our eyes
and there shall be no more death. Neither
sorrow and crying, nor shall there be any
more pain, for the former things are passed
away.
Ang els of patience sent to calm
Our feverish brow with cooling balm,
To lay the storms Of hope and fear,
And reconcile LIES smile and tear;
The throbs Of wounded grief to still,
And make our OWN our Fathers will
Husband, father, mother, brothers, Sisters,
Bear up, bear up, the end shall tell
The dear Lord ordereth ell things we'll.
The funeral services were conducted at the
NJ. K. Church, Burtonsville, In the presence
of large congregation Of sympathizing
friends, by the Rev. #. |. Muniord, Of Ash
ton, assisted by the Rev. Mr.. Olson, Of Balti-
more. After which the body was buried out

there in mother earth until the Morning Of

Gas By New Process,

The first public exhibition OF the new pro-
cess Of manufacturing an oxy-carbon dry gas,
| to be used for purposes Of heat, lighting and
power, was given ct the new plant OF the
American Gas and Development Company,
Dillon and Third streets, Highlandtown yea
terday afternoon by Mr.. Charles Meyer, Of
this city, general manager Of the new COM
| pany.
President Mackenzie said large share Of
the stock has been taken by local hnanciers
The process Is secret one and Ia covered by
! patents already taken out and several now
pending, but It may be said that II 10 COM
! bnation of compressed air, special kind OF
gasoline and several other ingredients which
| the officials OF the company do not divulge.
| The machinery used is gas engine. II Is
said to be 80 to 80 per cent cheaper than the
process used by the large gas companies.
Speaking OF the aim OF the company, Pres
ident Mackenzie said at Ia not our aim to
compete with the gas plants in large cities OF
| the country at present, but to install our
plants in the smaller towns, large manufac.
turing plants, hotels, and steamships and the
smaller power-boats, where gasoline engines
are ct present used. The gas can be used for
| Illuminating, heating or power purposes. A
| statement was recently made that the new
battleship provided for by the British Gov
ernment, which shall be the superior of eth
or the DeeaunOuBnt OF OF. Nlncout, tue tnOht
powerful ships OF their class In the world,
are to be provided with gas engines. thus
doing away with tunnels and smokestacks Z.
Whether the process of the English engineers
Is similar to ours cannot say, but we have
great hopes that at some time in the future
our process may be taken up and enlarged
upon to produce efficient results In propelling
large ships both In our navy and merchant
marine. We shall lay our plans before the
Navy Department within the near future"
In his tests General Manager Meyer gave
exhibitions Of the Busey burner, as the new
gas appliance 10 termed, melting copper In
an open flame 10 25 and babbit material In
81 minutes. An exhibition of welding cast
iron was also given. 1t was shown that the
gas could be used In range for cooking or
in furnace to heat q dwelling, and that no
SCOT is given out nor any moisture which
would be perceptible upon pair Of eye
glasses.
The method of manufacturing this sort Of
gas differs widely from that employed In
manufacturing the ordinary water gas made
