OBSERVE CALvERT'S DAY.
Pilgrims Worship Where He Landed
On Anniversary.

Five hundred members of the Maryland
Pilgrims Association from Baltimore and
other parts of the State took part Sunday
in the celebration of the 275th anniversary
of the landing of colonists on Maryland
soil in historic St. Mary's county. The
scene of the day that Cecilus Calvert and
his band of refugees landed was repro
duced. An improvised altar was con-
structed near the Jesuit villa at st. Inigoes,
and solemn High Mass was celebrated in
the presence of the pilgrims and sightseers
from the surrounding country. Follow
ing the Mass there was civic celebration
in old St. Mary's City.
The address of welcome was delivered
by C.. S. Grason, of St. Mary's, and an
address on "The Early Maryland Settlers"
was delivered by Judge Charles W..
Heuisler, of Baltimore. James H. Dunn,
president OF the Maryland Pilgrims Asso-
citation, also made an address and a
recitation was given by Mrs. E. ]. Croker,
of Charlotte Hall.
Two hundred and seventy-fve years is
a long time, and except for the bricks of
which the Episcopal Church at ST. Mary's
City is built, and which came from the
walls of Maryland's first State House,
4 4
perhaps, the markers of a few graves
holding the bones of some of the valiant
band who came to savage land, did their
work like men and passed away.
OF the houses that lined Middle street
and Mattapany street not even trace of
the foundations remain, except possibly
that of Leonard Calvert, and even the
lines supposed to mark the site of that
stately mansion are indefinite. Where the
streets and the houses were are now fields,
and the grass Is green upon them. Moth
ing is left of the old fort built as a defense
against the Indians, of the stout Jail, the
market house. the warehouses, the tavern
of Garrett Van Swearingen, where the
roysterers gathered and often distributed
the peace and quiet of the city built upon
a spot of rare beauty, but which has
passed away almost as completely as if it
had never been.

Ordered Governor Off.

Royalty or high Office surely has no
terror for Cecil Armour, who is employed
running a roller on the new stone road
being built between Bay View and North
East He does his duty as he sees it and
doesn't get worried about the matter until
after he has gone home and thought it
over. While the road is being built at
Leslie it is closed and teams have been
forced to drive through the camp ground.
Not long ago, team came to the edge of
the road and started to drive on it. Hold
on there, yelled Armour to, them, Don't
you see this road is closed? You'll have
to take run around the block because
there is absolutely nothing doing" The
men in the team did not pay very much
attention so Cecil shouted again, telling
them to stop and drive around. BY this
time his tone was not any too pleasant, for
he did not like the irnpertinence of the
strangers and if the team had not stopped
where it was and explained matters,
Maryland would have had licked Gov
ernor, for Cecil was beginning to roll up
his shirt sleeves and take a fall out of the
men in the wagon, one OF whom was
Governor Crothers, and the other the con-
tractor who has charge of building the
road, and from whom Cecil's envelope
comes every Saturday. Cecil scratched
his head when he found out whom he was
bossing around. "How was I to know
who they were7 didn't see any signs
hanging out and they looked just like
drummers to me. If the Governor wants
to ride on this road before it is finished he
would better bring along bodyguard
with flag ahead of him and then he will
know what to expect. Oxford News.

CHURCH STAYS CLOSED.
Delaware Court Without Jurisdic-
ton In Llqhtbourne Case.

The Wilmington Methodist Episcopal
Conference has lost the first step in the
litigation instituted to have Wesley
Church, Dover, opened to Rev. E. L.
Hofecker, who was named by Bishop
Moore to the pastorate last March.
Rev. Mr.. Hofecker, whose last charge
was Upper Fairmount, Md, was denied
admission by nearly all of the officials
and members of the congregation because
the conference deposed Rev. DR.. A. w.
Lightbourne from the pastorate and from
the conference on the ground of alleged
irregular credentials. The church has
since been locked. Suit was brought to
restrain the trustees from closing the
edifce to Rev. Mr.. Hoffecker.
Chancellor Nicholson denied the motion
for preliminary injunction. The next
move will be argument on an application
for permanent injunction. As this step
cannot be taken for two months, the snew
chancellor, Charles M. Curtis, who will
go on the bench next month, will hear the
argument. Chancellor Nicholson said:
''It is the function Of ecclesiastical tri-
bunals to search for the cause of such un-
happy conditions and, if possible, remove
them. This court can only act within the
limits prescribed by the Constitution and
laws of Delaware and, however desirable
it might be to hasten the determination
of this controversy, it is plainly beyond
the power of this court at this time and in
these proceedings"
D Meanwhile Wesley Church, with mem
bership of 700 active communicates and
one of the wealthiest Methodist churches
on the Peninsula, will remain closed. The
congregation will continue to hold services
every Sunday in the Dover Opera House,
to be conducted by Rev. DR.. Lightbourne.
1T was announced last week that, no
matter what the final outcome of the liti-
cation may be, the large majority of the
members of Wesley Church will continue
to support Rev. DIR. Lightbourne. If it is
decided that Wesley Church belongs to
the Wilmington Conference, the Light
bourne supporters will build new church
in Dover and conductit it as an independent
Methodist church,
