Memorial Services at Myersville.

Memorial services were held at Myers
vile, this county, on Sunday last, Reyn-
olds Post, G. A. R. of Frederick, having
charge of the exercises. Services were
held in the U. b. church, Rev. E. A.
Stanton of Myersville, Col. John r. Rou-
ger of Thurmont and Hon. E. Y. Colds
borough of Frederick, making addresses.
Music was rendered by the church choir
directed by Prof. Cyrus Flock.
In connection with this service the To-
cal w. c. T. U. Society held special SER
vice in honor of the late Hon. Upton
Buhrman, valiant worker in the cause
of temperance. Mr.. Buhrman was for
merly from Foxville locality and was well
known here. We quote the following
from a clipping, presumably, from the
Valley Register setting forth the work
done for the temperance cause by Mr..
Buhrman:
"Mr. Buhrman was elected to the
Maryland House of Delegates three times
on the Republican ticket from this coun-
ty. The first was in 1864, when he ac-
complished great good for this locality,
which will ever be held dear to his men,
DRY by the good people of this section.
Being man of strong temperance pro-
clivities, and through the aid of petitions
he was instrumental in having an act
passed prohibiting the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors within three miles of the
churches in this town. Neighboring towns
took up the idea and had the same ac-
complished, covering Middletown, Myers
vile and Wolfsville districts. Of that
assembly, Charles E. Trail is the only
survivor. In 1865 he was reelected, his
associates from this county being dead.
He was again elected in 1867, and of that
body from this county, j. R. Rouzer,
John l.. Linthicum, Thomas Gorsuch and
John A. Steiner are still living, Mr.. Hen
ry Baker being dead. He was also
delegate to the Chicago Convention in
1880 that nominated James A. Garfield
for president of the United States"
Col. Rouzer was warm personal
friend of MIR. Buhrman, and in esteem of
his friendship placed handsome bouquet
on the deceased's grave. He is the only
one of those mentioned in the above par
agraph surviving.

cOWARDIcE KILLED BILL AIMED
AT THE DREADFUL BLACK PLAGUE
Iowas Legislators Afraid to Handle Question Which Means
II and Happiness to Women and Children.

lhow do you feel about the argu-
ment of the Iowa solons that to
have enacted the law which they
had under consideration would
t"result in the divorce courts work
ling overtime?
Wouldn't II be better to work
the divorce courts overtime than
to go on with this wanton sac
Irifice?
Somebody said to Charlotte Per-
lkins Gilman that q knowledge Of
these conditions would break up
families, and she replied: ''It
would. It would break up sev-
Ieral."
Somebody else said to her that q
physician could not report cases Of
IsOcial diseases because of his Hip
|pocratic OATH" She simply asked:
|'sWhat becomes of a physicians
|Hippocratic oath when q patient
has smallpox"
Never mind about the divorce
courts and never mind about the
|Hippocratic oath.
The first thing Of all Is to face
tuS SlIudtlOu db IL Ii, To ADMIT the
facts, to let into dark places the
white light of truth: to stop lying
about it to ourselves and to each
|0ther.
The legislators Of Iowa were
|afraid. They were towards. They
wouldn't even talk about Il. Yes,
but they are no different from the
rest of us. We are all in the mire
|together-men and women as indi-
|viduals and as members of the
community; the church, the medi-
cal profession, the press.
All are guilty-either of ignor-
ance of conditions or of the moral
cowardice that seals the lips. The
consequences of this combination
of ignorance and cowardice are
visited upon the guiltless no less
than upon the guilty.
Why should succeeding genera
tions of boys and girls be permit
ted to destroy themselves for lack
of a little wholesome knowledge?
