DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

Washington. Dec. $50 consider
plans for insuring party success in
1912, prominent democrats from
many states are gathering In Wash
ington today to take part in a ses-
sion of the National Democratic
League.
Chairman William c. Liller de-
clares that a meeting has not been
called in the interest of Bryan OF
any other possible candidate. He ex-
planned that it is the purpose of the
league to maintain intact the organ
ization now existing and to strength
en- the league SO as TO eliminate the
work of reorganization at the begin
ming of each campaign.
The democratic party. while dis
appointed over the result of the cleo
tion, has much cause for elation, .
said Colonel Liller. The party Is
now united more thoroughly than al
any time since 1892. Its recent de-
feat has not dampened the enthusi-
asm of its members. but awakened
them to the necessity of proper or
ganiZation and a return to true and
fundamental democratic principles.
The organization of clubs will be
pushed everywhere from now on"
Leading democratic clubs all over
the country have sent representatives
to the rally. The sessions will oc-
cupy tomorrow and Thursday.

PAUL REvERE's RIDE.

The doubling Thomases have come
to the conclusion that Paul Revere
didn't take the midnight ride upon
which the poem of Longfellow is
founded. 1t appears that the move
ments of the British were known
early in the evening and that John
Hancock wrote letter to Elbridge
Gerry announcing the fact Also
that Paul Revere's own account
given in a letter written in 1898.
twenty-four years after the alleged
ride, does not agree in detail with
the stanzas of Longfellow. In fact,
he did not claim to have reached
Concord as the clock struck 2. having
been captured by British officers, ac-
cording to his own story. and taken
beck to Lexington.
Ii is said that the historians had
their doubts about Paul's ride the
moment the poem appeared, remem-
bering the round tower at Newport
and the bones found there upon
which Longfellow based his poem,
The Skeleton in Armor." The mys-
terious tower turned out to have been
mill erected by Benedict Arnold's
grandfather.
Notwithstanding all the proof
brought to bear. we prefer to.believe
that Paul Revere woke 'em up ali
along the road to Concord, and that
the round tower was built by vik-
ing wild who strayed down from Ice
land centuries before Columbus was
born. Again, we still have faith in

LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD.
Well Managed by Efficient and Up-to
Date Officers,

1t has been the custom for the diff
ferent State boards to render reports
the first of eachs.year, but Governor
Crothers wants more frequent reports
SO he can keep in touch with what is
going on and make suggestions tend
ing to make the workings of the diff
ferent departments more efficient, If
such is possible. He has called for
reports from a number of the boards,
among them The State Live Stock
Sanitary Board. A report from this
board was asked for on the 26th of
August and the same is now in the
Governors hands under date of the
2Sth.
The duties of this board in protect
ing the health of the domestic animals
Of the State involves a responsibility
that is given but little thought, when
it is considered that over twenty-five
million dollars worth of stock is own
ed in this State. 1t will be seen from
these figures that the property in
terests of value beyond the thought
of those who have never inquired in
to the resources of Maryland are in
volved. 1t behooves those having in
charge the protection of such enorm-
Gus values to exercise constant care
and watchfulness. In proportion to
the completeness of the work of pro-
lection, so will the after results be-
The report shows that during the
first eight months of this year 721
dairies and 1922 cattle were in
spected. The work was accomplish
ed by five inspectors at a cost of
$175259, an average of less than $1.05
for each herd inspected. Tuberculosis
is shown to be the most prevalent dis
ease, but the new law passed by the
last Legislature, pl plohibiting the in
PRODUCTION of cattle into Maryland
without a certificate of health, will
be a great assistance in helping to
eradicate this disease. Dairy inspec-
ton is receiving special attention and
the reports show that conditions gen.
orally are improving. The Board is
arranging an exhibit for the Interna-
tional Congress on tuberculosis to be
held in Washington September 81
to October IL, 1908. Photographs of
sanitary and unsanitary stables, cat
tie and dairies will be shown, together
with samples of up-to-date and sani-
tary milking and dairy utensils. Lit
erature will be distributed tending to
educate the consumers Of milk and
dairy products what to insist upon
from their dairyman, which will assist
in bettering conditions generally.
Governor Crothers expresses much
qualification at the efficient work that
is being done by this board, the mem
bers of which are E. Cuttings Merry
man, Grosvenor Hanson and Wade H.

Mrs. Sarah Ann StOner.
For the Advocate.

For the Advocate.
It seems fit and proper when the
good and pure in heart pass away
that something should be said of the
many kindly acts of their lives, and
l do not know of any one more
worthy and deserving of such a
passing notice than Mrs. Sarah
Ann Stoner, widow of Elder
Solomon Stoner. Therefore I de-
sire through the medium of your
the life and character of that estim-
able woman. Her noble qualities her
pure and spotless life endeared her
to all who learned to know her. There
may be others as good and pure, but
am sure there are none better. She
was a warm and generous-hearted
woman, ever ready and willing, with
bountiful hand of charity, to relieve
the wants of the poor and distressed,
and to aid and comfort the sick and
afflicted; and those who were the re-
cipients of that bountiful charity can
truly and properly appreciate her
sterling worth. She was a kind and
affectionate mother and grandmother;
her admonitions and counsels in the
family circle were always tempered
with justice, mercy and love, and car
ried with them the obedience and af-
lection of all. She was devout and
sincere lady, an ornament of piety in
the church of which she had been a
member for more than fifty years of
her life. Her mission on earth seems
to have been one of christian useful
ness. An angel of mercy and goodness
in all her paths of life, the loss of
such a valuable friend will be deeply
felt in every department of society
in which she mingled.
In her death the church sustains
a loss almost irreparable; as a neigh |
Dor none can fill her place; in the sick |
room, her presence was always greet |
ed with welcome and cheerfulness;
her mission among the poor and needy |
with gratitude and thankfulness. |
Her loss in the family circle is one |
that will be felt more severely than in |
any other place, but alas! there are |
no ties in life, be they ever so strong, |
that time and death will not sever. |
The messenger Of death has called her
from earth to heaven; severed all the
fond and affectionate ties in life; left
the bleeding hearts of the dear loved
ones of the family filled with the deep
est feelings of sorrow and anguish.
Yet / can say to those of us who
we are not without hope and
Earth has no sorrow
that heaven cannot heal" and while
he dear departed loved one cannot come
to us, IL we follow her christian ex-
ample in life we can go to her, where
we can meet to part no more. What
q consolation and comfort, to know
that when our dear loved ones pass
away, they are gone to rest. Yea
blessed are they who die in the Lord;
they shall rest from their labors,
and their good works do follow them.

Republicans Warned.

The campaign has gone far enough
for the classic warning note" against
over confidence to be sounded" as
Postmaster General Meyer sounded it
at Hot Springs. But this year Mr..
Meyer need not hold up the picture
of the Republican cohorts idling their
time away in their domestic Capuas
while Fabius Maximus Bryan is drill
ing his forces and leading them to
battle. Even if the Republicans go to
the polls and do their very best, they
have fight on their hands this year
such as they have not mad since 1896.
Bryan's strength in the Middle West
is yet to be tested. F'oraker's capacity
for mischief in Ohio must be discount
ed. Johnson's denomination in Min
nesota raises a new sensitive spot on
the surface of the Republican body
polite. No, there is no reason for Re-
publican overconfidence this year, and
Mr.. Meyers warning was uncalled for,
unless the corporations have shown a
tendency to fall into what the colored
preacher called "contributory negli-

SONG AND STORY.
Mrs. Clark and Mrs. adams at Centen-
arX NJ. E. Church.

An audience of fair size greeted
these ladies Tuesday evening, and,
judging by the frequent and hearty
applause and the smiling faces, they
evidently enjoyed the performance.
There can be no two opinions as to
the quantity and quality of Mrs. Ad-
ans voice. 1t is a high soprano OF
great scope, and gives every evidence
of careful cultivation. "Parla," an Ital-
ian love song, was much enjoyed, and
received most applause.
Mrs. Clark knows what pleases an
audience, most of her selections be-
ing of humorous character, with an
occasional touch of the pathetic. Her
negro and child dialects, with their
accompanying gestures and facial ex-
pressions, were true to life.
Miss Elizabeth Slagle, of this city
