NO MAIL ON BAD ROADS.
Rural Delivery to Be Discontinued On
Highways Not in Good Condition.

In order to secure good roads on
the routes over which rural carriers
deliver mail Fourth Assistant Post
master-General Degraw has issued a
new regulation that mail will not be
delivered on roads which are not kept
in good condition.
Some time ago the Fourth Assistant
issued an order requiring postmasters
at rural delivery officers to report to
the Department the number of miles
of road covered by rural delivery
from their Offices and the names of
road officials having jurisdiction over
each separate section of roads.
Letters are now being sent to these
road officials notifying them that rural
delivery will not be continued on roads
which are not kept in condition to be
travelled with facility and safety at all
seasons of the year. They are re-
quested to give attention to the roads
as soon as practicable. ~

Birthday Surprise Party.

A very pleasant and most enjoyable
surprise party was held at the old
homestead of Francis T. Brown, near
Silver Run, last Sunday, it being in
honor of Mr.. Browns birthday ami
versary. The guests began to arrive
at about II o'clock and took complete
control of the house. Mr.. Brown, not
knowing anything about the affair,
went to preaching in the morning and
when he arrived home found his four
sisters and friends waiting for him.
The plans were well laid and the affair
proved to be genuine surprise. At
1890 sumptuOus dinner was served
and about 4 o'clock the invited guests
were again called to the diningroom
where the table was loaded with re-
freshments of ice cream, cakes, ba-
nanas, candies, ETC., to which each one
did ample justice. The time was
most pleasantly passed in music, sing
ing and social conversation. At late
hour in the evening the guests ex-
pressed themselves as having spent a
very pleasant day and wishing Mr.. and
and Mrs. Brown many more happy
days departed for their respective
homes.
Mr.. Brown received a number of
handsome presents. He and four
sisters were born and raised on his
farm, it having been in the Brown
name about two hundred and fifty
years.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
Francis T. Brown and children Joseph
Elsie, Grover and Nevin; Mr.. and
Mrs. Clinton e. Fogleson, of May
berry; Mrs. Ellen Frock and
Miss Lizzie Lawyer, of Pleasant
Valley; Mr.. and Mrs. John T. Strevig,
of. Westminster; Mr. and Mrs. j. Al
fred Fisher, of Hanover; Mrs. Lydia
Harner and daughter Miss Annie, Miss
Esther Roman Angel, Miss Millie Bair
all of Taneytown; A. Burton Miller
of Hanover; Miss Belinda and Louisa
Feeser, of LittlestoWn.

The Happy Farmer.

The happiest man in the land today
is the successful farmer. He sits und-
er his vine and fig tree undisturbed by
the maddening noise of the city. Banks
fail, railroads go into the hands of re-
ceivers, booming towns collapse, all
business stagnates. But the wise
farmer can snap his finger at these
things. He is the monarch of all he
surveys on his broad acres And the
honesty of his. boys and the purity of
his girl is guarded against temptation
and in them he is giving the country
its best manhood and womanhood,
says an exchange. The farmer is to
be envied and if he is not contented
with his lot, he is lacking in wisdom.

Duty to the Community.

The man who makes money in any
community has a duty to perform to
that community. 1t may be that he
has made his money by his superior
business ability, and that he would
have done as well anywhere. That
does not alter the case, if his gifts are
great. No man was placed on earth
for the sole purpose of making money
and the man who has this as his ideal
had better never have been born. 1t
is not an act of charity, but the per-
formance of a simple duty, for the man
who has made money to pass a little
bit of it on for the benefit of the COM
munity even though he never expects
to see dollar of his contribution

RETURN WITH THEIR DEAD.
Family OF Newton Bank President
Reaches New York With Body.

New York, May lon board the
steamer Konig Albert, which has ar
rived here was the body of Bernard
Warkentin, president Of the Kansas
State bank of Newton, Kan, who was
shot and killed near Damascus early in
April while riding on a railroad train.
Mrs. Warkentin and her son Carl ac-
companied the body.
The cable dispatches announcing the
shooting said that it was done by a
Syrian who occupied a compartment
on the train adjoining that in which
Mr.. Warkentin was seated. The Syrian
said he was examining his revolver
and that it went off by accident. Am
bassador Leishman from Constantine
pie reported the shooting to the state
department at Washington. He said
the assurance had been given him that
the Syrian would be brought to justice
if the case proved to be. one Of MUIR
der.
Carl Warkentin said today that the
man who killed his father, was a
Turkish prince and that Ambassador
Leishman told his mother that it woulj
be impossible to prosecute him and ad-
vised her to say no more about the
matter. From his remarks it was ap-
parent that Mr.. Warkentin was of the
opinion that Mr.. Leishman had not
done all that he could. He intimated
charges would be lodged with the state
department against the ambassador.
