The deceased was daughter of the
late DR.. Robert Grain Sr., and Mary

Surgeon Gerard Wood Of the Revo-
lutionary War.
The late Judgs Peter Wood Grain was
an uncle.

cords with deep sorrow, the departure

ever lived. 1t was only those who were
in daily contact with her that could
latham the depths of her beautiful, and
noble character.
The writer can find no language adj
equstel to express the sorrow which
lies as heavy burden upon her soul,
20, my god, my soul is cast down within

ARE STATE BANK FAILURES.

The people of the nation and unwise
depositors has been startled again anC
within the last few days with the
failure of two state banks and the
crippled condition Of a large trust
company. One OF the State Banks was
at Brunswick, in this State, where
practically all the deposits were
swamped and the other in New York.
The New York Bank had nine branches
and according to the published figures
had on deposit in tsdiiferent branches
between six and seven million dollars.
The Trust company is in Baltimore
ity and was capitalized at $4,000 As
well as is said to have large surplus
fund. But Notwithstanding, it is said to
be in crippled condition and suit has
been instituted to put it into the hands
Of a receiver.
The Baltimore Sun in commenting
on these failures shows very conclusive
ly that the National government has
greater capacity to handle backs than
the states and therefore National Banks
are safer than state financial institu-
lions. Here is what the sun says:
"The closing of the Northern Bank of
New York, like the recent trouble with
the Brunswick bank Of this State, en-
phasizes the fact that the State banks
should have thrown about them all the
safeguards which apply to national
banks and which are thoroughly
effective in preventing just such ocsur-
rences as these. 1t is a wholly improp-
err and rather scandalous state of things
that permits the sacrifice Of the savings
Of hundreds of people through the care
lessnes or incapaeity or dishonest of sin
gle individual. The thing is particularly
unpleasant here in Maryland beeau a
banking bill was passed at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature which was sup
posed to represent the best thought Of
the financisl interests OF this State upon
the subject and which was expected to
put an end to happenings of the kind.
There is broader side to this matter,
too, than the mere question of the safety
Of the peoples money. 1t is the greater
capacity shown by the national Govern
ment to handle affairs Of the kind that
operates most strongly in favor of CEN
tralization and against the rights of the
State. When the national Government
does thing well aud the State Govern
ment does it poorly the people are apt
to conclude that the State Government
should not be permitted to do it at all.
The strongest arguments in favor Of
Capitalization are those bred of just
such incidents as this.
Many persons, however, will not ac-
cept good ADVICE or be wise until too
late.

In memoriam.

In sad but loving remembrance of my
dear brother, Wilson Fowler who de
parted this life two years ago to-day
Dec. % 1910.
We miss thee from thy home dear
We miss the from thy place.
A shadow over our life is cast;
We miss the sunshine Of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
The fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee.
We miss thee every where.
No word will ever seem so sweet,
As the words he used to say,
No honor will ever seem so sad
As the hour he passed away.
He will never be forgotten
Never shall his memory fade
My sweetest thoughts all ways higher
Around the grove where Wilson'S laid,
by his loving and devoted sister.

A GREATER SUNDAY SUN

The Baltimore SUN has determined
to publish Sunday newspaper divided
up into many classified sections, with
color comics, stories, sports, social
happenings and, in fact, the whole
thing that goes with the Sunday en-
tertainer Of today. The first issue
with the new features will appear
January /.
THE SUN will doubtless do the thing
thoroughly, as is its habit. The comics
will include Happy Hooligan, Buster
Brown. the Katzeniammers and other
well-known laugh-making characters.
some papers rely upon the colored fun
ny sheet and upon the finely printed
and illustrated magazine supplement.
The SUN is going to have both. -

CLASSICAL CLUB

The regular meeting of the Classical

Friends, subject which the freshmen
on the program handled in very inter-
esting manner. The program was as
follows:
Ciceros Private Life by Charlotte
johnson
Cicero and Caesar by Susie Brown
Cicero and Atticus by Marjorie Travis
Cicero and Brntus by Marguerite
O'Neill
Miss Clark and Miss Stevens read
TRANSACTIONS of some of Cicero's cores
pondence. Rev. II. l.. Grain gave talk
on the general subject of the value of
the classics. He releated his own ex-
perience with the Greek and Latin. and
showed what he considered from his
own observation to be the chief value Of
the study of classical literature. He
saw great value in it not only from its
benefit to ones diction, not only from
its discipline, but from the added ideas
and ideals of life to be gained from it,
