To Consider Pastors Resignation.

On Saturday, May Is, at 3p. M, at
the close of the preparatory service to
the Holy Communion, a meeting of the
congregation of the Presbyterian church
will be held to consider an act on the re-
quest of the pastor, Rev Mr.. X. M.
Craig, to concur with him in asking the
Presbytery of Baltimore to dissolve the
pastoral relation now existing between
him and the Emmitsburg Presbyterian
Church.
Mr.. Craig has been here four years
and in that time became citizen of the
United States, and won for himself many
friends who with regret now learn OF his
request of the congregation. A call he
has recently received to an important
field elsewhere has constrained him to
take this action. Chronicle.

Saving Things About Each Other.

Editor Rhoderick Of the Valley Regis
ter, and Editor Hamilton of the Hagers-
town Mail, are having nice time saying
/ things about each other, with reference
to the evils OF "booze," lawlessness and
the like. It's interesting to an onlook-
er. This is what they say of each other:
Brother Hamilton, of the Hagerstown
Mail, after publishing in his Saturday
issue a lengthy article, in which he stated
that Rev. Dr. John w. West, superin-
tendent of the Kentucky Anti-Saloon
League "has deemed it advisable to leave
the state on account of trouble threaten
ed by the father OF a girl at Catletsburg,
where he had been leading a movement
for local option, as he did at Winchester,
Va" adds the following:
with mingled pain and pleasure we
refer The above cas- e OF detested hypOcrl-
sy 10 our friend and editor of the Middle
! town REGISTER. Like many people Of
one idea and that twisted, he thinks a
prohibition law would at once abolish
| evil, wrong, error and beastllness and
now comes his own advocate, DR.. West,
to contradict him. We leave them there
to light it out. The same editor says
that the huI is tied to saloons. That
is emnently untrue. We only hold that
regulation is better than unlicensed evils
and we are bitterly opposed to interlop-
ers OF the West and other sorts, coming
into our community to lay down laws,
arrange taxation and try 10 set up fanat-
i,i>m and disorder in the place of orderly
GuVernm, mt.
No, The REGISTER does not think that
"a prohibition law would abolish evil,
wrong, error and beastiness, any more
than the law against stealing prevents
theft, but we do know that it would less
en- crime and misery and save many a
poor father and mother from broken
heart 1t would also greatly decrease
the court expenses of Washington county.
From Tuesdays Mail we take this:
Middetown, Md and Waynesboro, Pa,
have taken whacks at Hagerstown for
having police cases. We do not murder
them as the Waynesboro style is, nor do
we s,l,W them as is the Middetown style.
A reference TO our docket Elll show we
have many strangers taken in ana lew
town people and tor most part we ship
back the strangers without damage.
We really think they ought to thank US,
not abuse Us.
t,h.or Hamilton charge that we make
police cases in Middlytown is altogether
wrong. There is nothing here to make
them. The stuff that makes w-break-
ers is sold at Frederick and Hagerstown,
not here. The claim that nearly all the
arrests are those Of strangers won't do.
OF course a good many OF the Hagers-
town lawbreakers are often in no shape
to go in5o court, for the undertakers get
them. Why they are even unneighborly
up there. Only the day before Editor
Hamilton wrote the above, two citizens
got so angry at their neighbor across the
street because he shot out of the window
at them and killed dog instead of them,
that they ran over into his house and
beat him nearly to- death. After the
man had been beaten all up and had one
of his ears nearly torn off, they even ar
rested him. OF course, he may die be-
fore the police do cket gets him.

DIR. HUXLEY IN JACKSONVILLE.
Delivers Address at Dedication of Y. M.
C., A, Building.

Dr. Lincoln HUXLEY was the principal
speaker at the dedication of the fine
Y. NJ. c. A. building in Jacksonville
Sunday afternoon. Speaking of his
address, the Times Union said:
The ceremonies incident to the
formal dedication of the spacious Y. NJ.
c. A. building were indeed impressive,
and the large audience that assembled
in the gymnasium of the new home for
young men. we're highly enthusiastic
over the bright prospects Of the associa-
ton in Jacksonville.
DR.. Lincoln Hulley was down on the
program for an address, and those who
were so fortunate as to hear the noted
president Of Stetson university speak
will never regret it. The doctor took for
the theme of his discourse the aims Of
the Y. NJ. c. A. and the benefit that
will be felt in the general uplift of the
young men of this city. 1t was the best
effort of an orator, who already has a
reputation Of ranking with the top
notchers on the lecture platform Of
America. DR.. HUXLEY handled the sub
jcct in all its aspects, and at times his
eloquence helped to sink the great truth
of his words in the minds of the listeners.
The audience congratulated Dr. HUXLEY
for his fine speech after the ceremonies,
and also congratulated Mr.. Lloyd on his
wisdom in selecting such distinguished
speaker
