The Fight Against Tuberculosis in the
Counties.

1t is gratifying to note that the fight
against consumption has extended to the
counties of Maryland and that important
meetings have been held.
Recently there was organized at Rockville
the Social Service League of Montgomery
County" to look after the proper housing Of
the poor and sick, OF destitute children and
especially Of those afflicted with consump-
ton. 1t was stated in our dispatches that
the good people of Montgomery are greatly
interested In this work and that $50 men
and women Joined the new organization
The first resolution passed was excellent
II approved the action Of the Legislature in
committing the State to the care OF the in-
digent insane. The power for good OF such
an organization as this is beyond estimate,
and 1t would be most desirable that one like
1t should be formed in each county or neigh
borhood. Everybody is interested 10 this
matter, both as a matter of charity and for
self protection.
There are few communities which have
no cases Of consumption, and with 30 deadly
and contagious disease nearby no family
is safe. The only safety lies in stamping it
out, and where that cannot be done, in
taking the most approved measures to pre-.
vent the spread of the malady.-Balto. San

Something About Snakes.

There wassomething going on at Galilean
Temple Saturday night. The temple is q
public hall that belongs to some Of the COL
ored people of this vicinity, and is located
In that part of Rockville known as "Texas. !"
1t is hard to tell just what was going on
there Saturday night; there was a good
deal of mystery about 1t, and there was no
reporter on the spot. But early in the even
ing barrel or two and demijohn or two
and something else or two were delivered in
q wagon at Galilean Temple, and then about
fifty people gathered in the hall. A chair
man called the meeting to order, somebody
made speech and somebody else offered q
resolution. A silver-tongued orator address
ed the chairman and the audience on the
subject of Snakes" he said he was sure
there was snake in the resolution that had
been offered, and, having qualified as an
authority on seeing snakes" the audience
lapsed into a state Of suspended animation
for an hour or two while the orator dwelt
upon the snakes.
At the conclusion of the speech on snakes
1t was said that the meeting was intended
as banquet or reception which had been
promised to be given after the election be.
cause 1t could not be given before on account
IF the prohibitions OF the corrupt practices
act; it was also said that it was intended as
a ratification of the glorious Republican vic
tory in November, and furthermore as the
beginning of q movement In opposition to
the constitutional amendment, to be voted
on next fall, with reference to the right Of
suffrage in the State of Maryland. It was
further stated that Mr.. d. W. Baker, U. s.
District Attorney for the District OF Column
bia, had sent letter, regretting his inability
to be present at the meeting. On the cards
OF invitation to the meeting, which were dis
tributed with some discrimination, 1t was
stated that prominent orators would be pres
ent 10 address the meeting. The audience
seemed to think that this feature was lack
ing.
The treasurer of the Republican county
committee had three hundred dollars left
over from the campaign fund at the last
election, but he was not present at the mys-
terious meeting at Galilean Temple on Satur-
day night. II is understood that all can.
didates tor county chairman OF the Repub.
lican party and for the postmastership OF
Rockville are holding themselves aloof
from factional connections, and will let
others pay the freight. As the provisions OF
the corrupt practices act forbid that prom
ses shall be made before election to be per-
formed after election, it will probably be
difficult to ascertain who put up the where
witha to load the wagon which landed the
supplies which gave the peculiar zest to the
mysterious meeting, which Is difficult to ex-
plain, at Galilean Temple on Saturday night.

Frederick Road Sold.

A dispatch from Frederick city, Md,
dated December the 18th, says:
With the exception of formal exchange
of papers, which is expected to take place
on Monday, the sale of the Washington,
Frederick and Gettysburg railroad to Gtr-
ties represented by DR.. Llewellyn Jordsa,
of Washington, has been practically con.
summated. The syndicate representing the
majority stock and first mortgage bond
holders, in accordance with an agreement
with DR.. Jordan, has declined to make
known the purchase price until after Mon
day. The sale was effected on the part of
the stockholders by syndicate embracing
about % of the leading stockholders who
had practically become owners of control
ling interest in the road.
The syndicate delegated to committee,
consisting of President D. Columbus Kemp,
George William Smith, DR.. Franklin B..
Smith, Charles Wertheimer and Emory L.
Coblentz, authority to ratify the sale The
actual deal was made between President
Kemp, Mr.. Wertheimer and Mr.. Frank l..
Stoner, one the part of the syndicate, and
DR.. Jordan, representing the purchasers
and although it appeared at first in the ma.
ture of an option, DR.. Jordan Immediately
announced his intention to take up the op.
ton and the sale was ratified. The exchange
will take place as soon as DR.. Jordan makes
form of settlement, and this is expected
Monday. BY the terms of the sale the pur-
chasers will take over 1000 worth of
stock and $4,000 of first mortgage bonds
controlled directly by the syndicate. There
is total of $4,000 of stock outstanding
SIS, 1000 of which is held outside of the syn.
dictate. By the terms of the agreement all
stockholders are to be treated alike.
The sale came in the nature of bid made
| by DR.. Jordan.
One of the directors said tonight that
when the offer was made the syndicate de-
cided to sell on condition that those outside
of the syndicate would fare equally. This
was agreed to and all that remains to be
done is the settlement. Should anything
| prevent sales he SAID, the syndicate Is sat-
isfied to remain in possession of the road, as
it is valuable.
1t is thought here that Senator Stephen
B. Elkns and John X. Mclean, who are
owners of the Great Falls and Old Domin-
ion Line, running from Washington to
Great Falls, Montgomery county, are back
ing the project. DR.. Jordan has obtained
practically right Of way from Frederick
to Great Falls, and it is surmised in bust.
ness circles that the proposed trolly line be.
tween this city and Washington will now
be built without delay. The link from
Frederick to Thurmont, 10 miles, being
completed, only II miles yet remain to be
built to Gettysburg, the terminal. The par
value of the stock was formerly $50 share.
The company was granted Its charter by
the Legislature of 1896, and in 1898 surveys
were made for the road.

To Modify Cattle Quarantine

Instead Of raising the quarantine against
the State of Maryland at the middle of the
present week, in pursuance of his promise
to a number of our farmers recently, to do
so, Secretary Wilson has deferred the time
to the first OF next week.
Secretary Wilson on Tuesday last said
that the Agricultural Department probably
would issue some notifications of the quar-.
antine restrictions applying to Maryland
because Of the foot.and mouth disease die
covered In Carroll county.
These notifications, which are expected
to be effective very early next week, will
permit the shipping of cattle for slaughter
purposes and hay for feed into the Distric
OF Columbia and other points adjacent t.
the States which have heretofore been sup
piled by Maryland farmers.

MOTHERS LETTER.
Written for the Sentinel 6y Y.

Written for the Sentinel By Y.
The day Is dark and nature frowns;
Meath snowy robe the cedar bends;
Rudely, the gale in mournful rounds,
Its plaintiff notes to me extends.
Alone, with dreams of youthful age,
Some musty letters tempt my gaze,
And burdened with life's changeful stage,
I view the realms of brighter days.
Through joyous years the missives ran
And spake their preference for me,
In childhood age their course began
The age from mans deception free.
smile to view the stunning swell
OF diamond point and fashioned quill,
My heart rejects the tortured spell,
If not the writer's kindly will.
Through many years, as treasure trove,
These metric lines trust became,
But now, when time has banished love,
yield them to the yule-log flame.
But needless Of those missive fine,
pause at one begrimed by age,
With teardrops mingled free with mine,
To point and glorify the page.
feel the hand that smoothed my brow,
When burnt with fever's fiery fame,
hear that voice, so sweet and low,
That Piled for me in Jesus name.
Alb, naught but death could blast the love,
Or stay my mothers trembling hand,
And now that she has passed above,
These lines blessed truth shall stand i.
No flame shall blast the moldY sheet,
So foreign to the scholars style,
But 1t shall rest in safe retreat,
Most bless'd 10 affections file.
And when the tempter's voice is heard,
To lead me to distractions way,
o, may mind my mothers word, :,
And rest in faith till deaths dark day.
