Death of Mr.. Frederick Skinner

Mr.. Frederick Skinner died at his
home near Westwood in Nottingham
district on Thursday morning at tive
o'clock, after an illness of several
months. He was the only child of the
late John Stuart Skinner and Maria
Skinner, and cousin of Hon. John >
Skinner who was postmaster of Balti-
more for many years and who establish
ed the first agricultural journal publish
ed in this country.
Mr.. Skinner felt worthy pride in his
family record and honor, and his useful
and unblemished career adds lustsr to a
distinguished name.
The life of the deceased was rich in
good deeds. A noble type of Chris
tian gentleman, devoted husband, a
kind neighbor-his death will be a Sc
we're loss to the community in which he
spent the sixty-six years of his mortal
existence. A kind and sympathetic
heart prompted him to many acts OF
charity. and his greatest happiness was
to make others happy. He faithfully
served for many years as vestryman
of historic St. Pau's Church, which is
located near his home, and, following
the example of sanity mother. he did
all that was in his power for the fur
therarce of religion and the betterment
of the world. Well may it be said Of
him, that "none knew him but to love
him, nor named him but to praise"
He is survived by widow, who is q
daughter Of the late Mr.. Peter Wood.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
Saturday morning from St. Paul's
church, at II o'clock and the friends of
the family are respectfully invited to
attend

Items from Laurel.

The fifth annual convention and ban
ouet of the Alumni Association OF
the Laurel High School, now having
an active membership Of 59 and an
associate membership of 9, will be held
in the Academy of Music, Laurel, Md,
on the evening of June 18th, at eight
O'Clock. Preparations are under way,
looking toward the most successtul
meeting in the history of the Associa-
ton. The management has made ar
engagements, whereby the supper room
will be cooled by electric fans, thereby
overcoming the greatest obstacle i'll the
way of comfort to those who will at
tend. The supper will be Immediately
preceded by the annual election OF
officers of the Association, and imme-
diately followed by dance. Three
minute addresses will be delivered by
the President, the orator of the present
graduating class, and by two Of the
honorary members.
For the first time in the history of the
Alumni Association of the Laurel High
School, that body has offered gold
medal to the member of the graduating
class who should, for three years prior
to his graduation, secure the highest
general average in his academic work.
The first student to lay claim to this
honor, is Philip Devereaux johnson, OF
Beltsyille. Nd, a member Of the Class
of 1908 in the Academic Course. NOW
that this feature is added, we trust that
it will prove an incentive to those that
ara to graduate in the years to come

Alumni Association on closer and more
intimate footing than ever before.

UPPER MARLBORO,
May IS, 1908,
MR.. EDITOR:

MR.. EDITOR:
The following statement appeared in
the "Hyattsyille Independent" of the
10th instant: at is understood that a
contest is now on between the friends
of Mr.. Fillmore Beall, of Evansville, and
Mr.. T. Van Clsgett, of Marlboro, it be-
ing thought that whoever of these two
& cceeds in getting the endorsement of
the convention will be named by Gov
ernor Crotiers, an will also probably
be nominated for the fifteen year term.
I i reported st a recent meeting of Mr..
EeaiIs friends in Washington, it was
decided TO make the fight in the prim-
aries to be held May 3d.
ttr. Editor, there is no such fight SO
far as I am concerned. I contend and
always have coutended that the next
County Convention has no right to en-
dorse any nsidate for Judge. I have
a high regard for Mr.. Fillmore Beall,
personally, and if, when the proper
time comes, he proves to be the choice
of the Democrats of our county as a
judicial candidate, no one will support
him more heartily than l shall. I can
not but feel, however, that for the next
convention to endorse any candidate
for Judge would bs ill-advised, unfair
and absolutely beyond the powers of the
convention. trust and firmly believe
that when the convention meets it will
confne itself strictly to following out
the purposes of the call under which it
is to be held and will not attempt to
consider any matter not properly before
it.
Yours, very truly,
