Found Dead In Bed.

John 81. Howard, who had been
employed for two weeks past by
Saml. Little at the Maryland House
barber shop, was found dead in
bed on Tuesday morning. He had
complained of feeling unwell the
day before and retired early. Re.
peated attempts to arouse him the
next morning, by knocking on the
door failing, an entrance to the
room was finally forced and he was
found stretched across the bed,
dead. He had evidently been
dead several hours, as the body was
rigid when found. Coroner Frazer,
of Elkton, was summoned and after
investigating the case deemed an
inquest unnecessary, the physicians
pronounc;ng death due to uremic
commissions, deceased having been
a sufferer from Brights' disease.
The home of the deceased was
Rock Hall, Kent county. He was
IS years of age and is survived by
two daughters. The body was
prepared for burial by undertaken
Taylor and shipped to relatives in
Baltimore on Wednesday evening.

MATRoN's CONTEST.

The matron's contest held on
Wednesday evening in the M. E.
church, under the auspices of the
Rising Sun w. G. L. U. was at
tended by a large number, who
were well pleased with the ex.
cellent program. The contestants
and their orations were: Mrs.
Emma P. Haines, "Does 1t Pay 2"
Mrs. Hannah Clifford, married to
a Drunkard;" Mrs. Jennie Giles
pie, "a Short Story" Mrs. Belle
Haines, "The Bridal Wine Cup;n
Mrs. Mary L. Brown, "The De-
Tense of the Alamo"
The contestants were listened to
with the closest attention and all
presented their subjects in an
admirable manner. Mrs. Belle
Haines when called upon announced
she had taken the liberty of sub
stituting something that treated the
temperance question in more up
to date manner than that assigned
her, and delivered an original
Grafton on the advancement of pro-
hibition, which was one of the best
temperance addresses ever heard in
the church, the subject being
handled in concise and forcible
manner, that showed the speakers
careful study and thorough knowl-
edge of the temperance question.
The judges were Rev. j. Howard
Gray, Woodlawn; Rev. J.. 81.
Mitchell, Zion, and Prof. Horace G.
Gillespie, West Nottingham. The
length of time they were in con.
ference was evidence of the knotty
problem they had to decide, so well
had the contestants acquitted them
selves. The medal was finally
awarded Mrs. Belle Haines, Rev.
J. P. Otis making the presentation.
By no means the least pleasing
feature of the evening was the
musical program. The choir rem.
dered several selections, solos we're
sung by Mrs. Bella Pogue, Mrs.
Ella Pyle and Miss Armenia Will.
son, duet by Misses Lucy Gillespie
and Mollie Keen, and a quartet by
Messrs. w. L. Ryan, j. L..
Stephens, E. L. Haines and Lynn
The meeting was presided over
by Miss Iva Mearns, of Calvert

at the door which amounted to over
1913.

Attempt To Burn Buildlng.

An attempt was made Saturday
night to burn the old Catholic
church building in Kennett Square
A pile of kindling wood saturated
with coal oil was placed under the
step at the side of the building and
set on fire. A passer-by discovered
the blaze before it had made any
Roadway and .extinguished the
flames with a bucket of water.
The building was recently turned
into mushroom growing plant
which action caused a great deal Of
dissatisfaction, both to members Of
the denomination and to property
holders. Legal action had also
been taken to compel the aban-
donment of the building for the
purpose it was being used on &C
count of its Objectionable nature.

Port Deposit Wins From Elkton

Port Deposit won its third
straight game from Elkton on
Labor Day. The game was played
in the town by the riverside and
witnessed by a large crowd. While
there were exciting periods, as a
whole the contest was completely
spoiled from the spectators point of
view by wrangling on the part of
the visitors over several decisions
of Umpire Lamm. Duncan and
Brady both pitched superb games,
the former allowing but three hits
and striking out ten men, while the
latter was hit safely six times but
struck out seven men. Elkton lost
through damaging errors in the
fourth inning, the trouble starting
with a missed third strike, and
being helped by two poor throws,
Port Deposit reaping two runs by
the miss plays of their opponents.
Port scored an earned run in the
seventh on a two Dagger by Cald-
well and a single by Scott. Elk
toms lone run came in the seventh.
Beatty hit safely and after reach
ing third scored on a dropped fly
ball by Snyder. On his. first turn
at bat Caldwell was presented with
a purse and ten dollar gold piece

The Harvest Moon.

The beautiful harvest moon was
at full on Thursday evening, 10th
inst, and there have been some
splendid moonlight evenings this
week. The harvest moon is so
called from the fact that it is the
moon near the full at the time OF
harvest in England, or about the
autumnal equinox, when by reason
of the small angle Of the elliptic
and moons orbit with the horizon,
it rises nearly at the same hour for
several days.
