When Baltimore Was Village.-Inter-
esting histories are connected with several OF
the buildings on the east side of Greene street,
lust south of Baltimore street, says the Balti.
more american They were all erected about
1880 and are frame structures of the type prev
alent at that time.
The building on the southeast corner Of Bal
timore and Greene streets, now occupied as
saloon. is much older than the others. The
structure was originally a farm house and
fronted on what is now Greene street. When
baltimore street was opened the front end was
built in order to face on the more important
street. 1t has been used since Civil War times
as q saloon.
Before the war it was combined saloon and
grocery store. Just under the awning few
letters of the old sign announcing the sale OF
groceries and provisions can still be decipher-
ed, The farmer who first owned it did not like
city life and so was drivenfurther out by the
advance of the city. =,
No 9 South Greene street, which was the
home of the old Western Hose Company, has
for a number of years been used as clothing
shop. The structure is now being RACED for
the purpose of erecting modern four-story
building, which will be used for commercial
purposes.

Pleasant Hill, 9th District.-The lone
drouth has been broken and on Tuesday NIGH
about 8 o'clock a very heavy thunder storm,
accompanied by q considerable downpour Of
rain, visited this section of the county. The
barn of Mr.. ]. Mentor Hoshall, situated hall
mile south of Eklo on the Middletown road,
was struck by lightning and burned to the
ground. Mr.. Hoshall succeeded in getting all
his live stock out of the building, but failed to
save any of his wagons or farm implements.
About 20 tons ofhay was consumed. The esti-
mated loss is from 81 200 to 81, 800, with no
insurance.
Some of our oldest inhabitants say they do
not remember such severe thunder storm, or
that of seeing such an electrical phenomena in
the heavens as was witnessed on this occasion.
Another thunder storm and fine shower OF
rain visited this place on Wednesday evening.
Ihere has not yet fallen enough water to
soften the ground for fallow-plowing.
Corn fields are wearing quite another color
since the fine showers and it is hoped that the
yield will be materially increased when the
ingathering takes place. The dry weather has
very much effected the peach crop here. Our
farmers have very ordinary yield in their oats
crop-about Is bushels per acre.
Potato-growers are left this year on account
of the drouth. The yield is so poor and the
tuber so inferior that late potatoes will scarcely
pay for the digging.
Mr.. Howard Hammer of Stewartstown, is
boring we'll for Miss Mamie Kidd, in this

Further Suburban Development.-.Ar.
rangements are being concluded by the west
Forest Park Land Company by which it will
acquire the Forest Park farm of the Slingluh
estate, at Forest Park, one Of the most thriving
and prosperous suburbs of Baltimore.
The property comprises 108 acres and is sus.
ceptible of a high state of improvement. 1t
lies Immediately back of Woodland Hall and
the Kelso Home on Garrison avenue, and
along the south side of Forest avenue. The
land is rolling and for the most part beautifully
wooded with handsome old forest trees: 1t ex-
tends westerly and adjoins Windsor Hills. The
whole tract has been laid out to conform to the
natural beauty of the land, with main street
20 feet wide running from east to west, ana,
with a number of streets laid out in connection
with the main avenue, forming circular drives
with park effect.
A trolley line will run over the main avenue
through the property, connecting with the
Garrison avenue line, giving scent fare TO
anv section of the city. The location is good
one for building high-class suburban homes
and will add greatly to the suburban develop
ment ofthe city.

Parkvlile, Hartford Road.-The annual
picnic of the Sunday school of Hiss M. e..
Church. Great Falls Circuit, was held Wednes-
dav. July 18th, at Bay Shore Park, and was
largely attended by the children of the school,
officers, teachers and patrons numbering alto
gether about one hundred persons. All were
treated to ice-cream and other refreshments
and the day was pleasantly spent boating,
bathing, ETC., being among the diversions.
This school is among the most prosperous on
the circuit and its excellent condition is largely
due to the energetic and faithful work of Mrs.
o. C. Stansbury, who has been the superin.
tendent about twenty years, and the faithful
coworkers whose presence on Sundays is al.
WAYS most encouraging. A good feature OF
this school is the fact that after its sessions are
over, the children remain for the public worship
that follows, which adds great interest to the
church services. The school is made up OF
we'll behaved children who are attentive to
what their teachers endeavor to instill into their
minds. Parents should take an interest in the
Sunday school and see that their children are
prepared for it. 1t is one of the greatest insti-
| buttons of the Christian church and is the nur-
sery from whence the church expects to reap
fruit in after years. 1t is here they are taught
| to grow up to be useful men and women in the
communities in which they live. TEACHER.

Cold Drinks In Hot Weather.-Avoid ice
water if YOU would be considerate of your
stomach this hot weather. That is the advice
given by prominent physician: stomach
snecialist, In his opinion the chilling OF the
sfomach with ice water and other iced drinks
is one of the most frequent causes OF summer
stomach disorders. Ice cold beverages may be
taken safely by slipping. letting them become
warm in the mouth before swallowing. but
when gulped down they excite the stomach:
causine rush of blood to that organ, followed
by a feeling of depression and faintness. NO
animal will drink ice water. Nature teaches
them better, says the physician. Water or
other drinks which was just cool or even luxe
warm are far more refreshing and invigorat-
ing, although they may not please the palate
at once. IF nature had intended ice for steady
consumption or drink she would nave maze
spring water cooler.
