St. Mary's County is to have a
homework celebration again this
year. The Homecoming Week of
last year brought back hundreds to
their native heath and it is expected
more will come this year. The old
historic County was so highly graft
fed with the results of the initial in
Vitation TO the absent sons and dapgh-
tiers, grandsons and granddaughter
that an even more extensive prepa-
ration is being made for the repiti-
ton of the event this year. There
is a four-day program of formal en-
tertainment for the home week of
this year, which will begin on Aug
ust 10 aud continue through to the
18th, inclusive
Other Maryland Counties should
keep alive this homework custom.
Perhaps there would be a little too
much strain if there is to be every
time a sounding Of the trumpets and
a beating of the eymbals to have
these homecoming celebrations an
nually.
But the holding of a general home
week celebration throughout the
State every other year should not be
TOO much OF a tax upon either the
parental reception committee or the
the invite hoine-comers. ST Mays
is the only County in the State to
$ homework this year

SENATOR ALLISON DEAD.

On Tuesday last death claimed
Senator William Boyd Allison, o.
Dubuque, Iowa, so well known a,
the "Father of the Senate" Senator
Allison was born at Perry, Ohio
March ?, 1929, the son Of John and
Mary Allison. His boyhood days he
spent on the farm, which was hi.
birthplace. Reaching young man
hood, he secured his education il
Alleghe- y College in Pennsylvania
and the Western Reserve College OF
Ohio, in beth of which schools he
distinguished himself at winning
high Donors in oil the branches which
he studied.
Senator Allison was admitted tc
the bar in 1850. lie was married tc
Miss Anna Carter, of Wooster, Ohio
at Ashland, Ohio, in February, 1854
From 1850 to 1857 he praeticed law
in Ohio. In 1857 he removed t.
Dubuque, where he took up the
practice Of law.
Senator Allison was a delegate to
the Republican State Convention in
1859 and to the National Republican
Convention in Chicago in 1860. He
was a member of the Governors
staff in the Civil War and raised
troops to fight for the integrity Of
the nation in 1861. In 1868 he was
elected to Congress- and served con-
tinuously until 1871. In 1873 he
was elected United States Senator
from Iowa and represented his State
IN this capacity until the time Of his
death.
His aid in the nomination of Abra-
ham Lincoln as Republican candidate
for President in 1860 was, perhaps.
Senator Allison's first great service
for his country.
He has served in the United States
Senate continuously since 1873, GOV.
erlng a period of thirty five years,
being the longest time that any man
has ever held a seat in the United
States Senate. As a legislator he
knew no equal. lie was not a
ipeaker of repute but was an indie
.atigable worker and his knowledge

lie enjoyed besides political honors |
he love aud respect of all bis fellow |
members in the Senate, and what
hat body thinks of him is best

"Mr Allison, the loved and hon
