NEW MAP OF MARYLAND.
Geological Survey Gives Result OF
Typographical Work.

The Maryland@GeologicaI Survey, uu-
der the direction Of the State geologist,
Prof. William Bullock Clark. is issuing
a large map of Maryland, which viii be
one of the most accurate and complete
maps ever issued for this territory.
II cooperation with the United
States Geological Survey the State
organization has completed the large
portion of Typographical survey OF
the State. The results have been
brought out in parts during the pro-
gress Of the work in the form of maps
on the scale of one mile to the inch.
The parts have been issued by the
Federal Government in quadrangles
adapted to theirJ general system, while
the.State ssurvey has published its re-
suits by counties, IA of the counties
having already had such maps publish
ed to cover their area. Each country
viii ultimately have maps on this scale
showingi the topography and election
districts, the geological formations. the
agricultural soils and the forestry.
The new map just issued by the State
Geological Survey contains much of the
information Of these larger scaled de-
tailed maps. By means of mechanical
processes it has been possible to retain
practically all the accuracy and detail
OF the road system of the State. The
new.map indicates the general direction
and minor turns in all the important
roads. Of the State so that traveller
may trace his course from point to point
with a feeling of assurance that his
choice of roads has been correct.
The,political boundaries within the
limits.of sthe State are represented in
two ways. The larger divisions, such
as counties, are distinguished by differ
ent colors and their limits are accurate
ly represented by heavy black lines.
The smaller divisions, such as election
districts, (which are subject to more or
lees frequent change, are outlined and
named in red.
The preparation Of this map has in
volved large amount of compilation,
and its reduction to photographic form
has been under the editorial supervision
of Prof Edward B. Mathews, assistant
State geologist. The map is published
in three sheets, each 28 inches wide and
48 inches high. The western sheet in.
cludes Garrett and Allegany counties
and.Washington county as far east as
Cherry Run. The central sheet includes
the rest of Washington county, Fred.
erick, Carroll, Baltimore, Howard
Montgomery, Prince Georges, Anne
Arundel Calvert, Charles and ST.
Mary's counties. The eastern sheet in
cludes the Eastern Shore and the Cheas
peake bay and represents Hartford
Cecil, Kent, Talbot, Queen Anne's
| Caroline, Dorchester, WicomicO, Somer
set and Worcester counties and an out
line map of Delaware. The three
sheets will form wall map more thar

curate and up to date.

REV. LEE ARRIVED AT CALCUTTA
With His Assistants On November
18th Last.

From the India Messenger, Of No
vember 2lst, published at Calcutta, In
dia, the following, relative to Rev. D.
! H. Lee, Of Mountain Lake Park, is
clipped:
/ The arrival of the Rev. d. II. Lee
and party of missionaries il Calcuttn a
week ago and the reception accorded
+ them the same evening proved to be an
event of much more than ordinary in-
terest. A large party of missionaries
( greeted them upon the arrival Of their
| ship in the morning, and still more,
/ joined by representatives Of the various
/ Missions in the city and of the church,
greeted them in the drawing-room of
/ the Calcutta Girls School in the even
| ing. That Mr.. and Mrs. Lee should
have left India fifteen months before on
desperate chance for saving her life
any that they should return restored in
/ health, buoyant in spirit and confident
/ for the future, bringing FIVE additional
/ workers, whom they found in America
during the last few months, and also
[ their support, SO that their coming in :.
party of seven missionaries at once for
/ one work is unique event in the his
tory of the Bengal Conference, is re-
markable indeed. 1t is a marked in
! stance Of the strange leading of provi-
dence. With the two young ladies, Miss
! Eddy and Miss Cooper who have so
bravely and ably taken care of large
part of the work of the Mission during
the absence of the principals and the
two boys, there gather about the table
/ in the Lee home the same number there
would have been had their original fam
/ lily circle remained unbroken. They
feel that God has answered prayer and
/ the people have been kind in giving
workers and support Those who look
on and understand feel that God has
been rewarding whole-hearted loyalty
and devotion. and the people at home
have responded to direct personal,
earnest, definite appeal May the Lees
be long spared for the work they love
and their assistants, those who have
seen service and those who have Just
come, be greatly used of God for India.
The circumstances attending the COM
ing to the mission field of Miss Kinzley,
one of the recruits for the Lee Memor-
ial Mission, are worth noting. She was
member of a little company of people
less than 100, who constituted church
in New England. They were with
out a pastor, but they prayed for
one and looked for his coming. A small,
er circle Of thirteen united to pray fol
missions, and that they might as 3
church send representative abroad
even before they secured a pastor fol
themselves. Soon conviction fell or
some, that they must be willing to go il
they prayed that God would send some
one; and few gave up praying because
they were not ready to 20. Other!
persisted, and Miss Kinzley was The
first to be chosed, an honour she great
ly appreciates. She now represents her
church in the foreign field. Surely Goo

What are you doing for your town?
If you have no confidence in the growth

country in which you live how on earth
do you expect other people to move

velop and grow for your benefit.
In any city where the majority of its
citizens are home owners, one will find
pretty homes and happy satisfied peo-
pie. They are always on the alert for
the best interest of the town and its
moral welfare. Where this is not so
such an interest is not displayed.

one-half, or even two-thirds are mis-

will stand ready to vouch for from ex-

they should-too much attention is
given the higher branches before the

pecially do they neglect reading Girls

For three consecutive nights George
Higgins, who is an electrician in the

to where his body would be found. On
awakening Monday he started to this
remote section of the mine accompani-

The body was badly decomposed but
was fully identified by the clothing.

Hidden Dangers
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Lewiston Citizen Can
Afford to Ignore

DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
from the kidney secretions. They
will warn you when the kidneys are
sick. Well kidneys excrete a clear,
amber fluid. Sick kidneys send out
a thin, pale and foamy, or thick,
red, ill-smelling urine, full of sedi-
ment and irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy or sharp and acute, tell you
of sick kidneys and warn you Of the
approach of dropsy, diabetes and
Brights disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills cure sick kidneys and cure
them permanently. Here's Lewiston
proof:
Mr.. Samuel Linden, 218 Seventh
street, Lewiston. Idaho, says: I have
the utmost faith in Doan's Kidney
Pills. as l used them some time ago
and obtained prompt relief from
kidney tdouble. I had suffered from
this complaint for over a year and
was constantly annoyed by the dis
ordered condition of my kidney Sc
cretions. which at times were pro-
fuse and then again scanty, and l
had frequent desire to pass them
also had dull pain across my
back extending into the hips,
which bothered me at night as we'll
as during the day. Hearing of
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured a
supply at the 1danha Pharmacy and
was SO encouraged with the prompt
relief I received that I continued
taking this remedy until entirely
free from kidney trouble. am al
