ARRIVAL OF THE ROBIN HOOD.
Trip From Norfolk Much Delayed
=. by Numerous Gales.

The two-masted schooner Robin Hood,
fears for the safety of which were felt
in consequence of the long time she
took to come from Norfolk here, has ar
rived and is unloading her cargo The
vessel loaded lumber about a month ago
for Johnson and Wimsatt of this city.
Soon after loading a report reached here
that she had sunk in Norfolk harbor This
was found to be untrue and that the
vessel was lying at Norfolk waiting
weather to come up the bay and river
The slowness of the trip was due it is
stated to the numerous gales that have
blown in the past three weeks, which
caused the vessel to seek harbor at vari-
Gus points along the river and bay The
Robin Hood is one of the oldest craft
in active service on Chesapeake bay, and
was recently purchased from MARYLAND
owners by parties in this city.

pathy with their policies something very
tangible might be accomplished for labor

federation workers to be most reassur-

ters' Association, with headquarters In
this city, and Albert Berries. representing

here in the meeting. the citizens and the

meeting in 1911. The delegates and off,
Gals from this city will exert every effort
to secure the next meeting for the Ma
tional Capital.

HIHE members of the Mothers Con-

Il Joining in the observance of
Mothers day and the white carna-

day. Requests have been made OF
many of the pastors to observe the

to do so are the Rev. Charles Edward
Locke, who will hold an "old home"
service Sunday night at the First
Methodist church, and Reynold r..
Blight. who will speak on THE White
Carnation" at the Sunday morning
service of the Fellowship at Blan-
chard hall. Other churches ana SAB
bath schools will observe the day with
appropriate exercises.
The custom of honoring the mothers
of the land is a beautiful one that Is
growing into wider observance and
deeper meaning since it's introduction
into America two years ago by Anna
Jarvis of Philadelphia, following an
old English custom of setting ASIDE
certain Sunday in Lent as mother
ing Sunday"

Club News

TN HE report of the tellers of the Fri
day Morning club has not been
II made public as yet, but rumors
concerning the new ticket for which
nominating ballots were cast last week
suggest that Mrs. Clark will be unani-
mously reelected for president, as
there were but two votes of all the 120
that were cast which were not cast for
her. The reelection of Mrs. Charles
Farwell Edison is also a safe prophecy
for first vice president, and as second
vice president it appears that Mrs.
David Chambers McCan will be pop
ular candidate. This vacancy in the
vice presidency occurs because of the
departure of DR.. Dorothea Moore for
her new home in the east. Mrs. Frank
Garrett will probably be the new treas
urer of the club, and there are several
candidates for the corresponding sec
retaryship. At least there were several
names which received the twenty-five
necessary to place them upon the tick
ct. Mrs. Morris Albee, who has already
served the club one year in that ca
pacity, has large number of votes,
and her reelection is practically as
sured. Both Mrs. Jules Kaufman and
Mrs. Weatherbee of Pasadena were Ia
vorite candidates for recording secre-
tary.
The nominating ticket for the Ebell
club, which is to be announced Monday,
will read as follows: President, Mrs.
e. C. Bellows;' first vice president, Mrs.
j. H. Francis; second vice president,
Mrs. Edward Curtis; third vice presi-
dent, Mrs. George Kress; treasurer,
Mrs. w. w. Orcutt; recording secrs-
tary, Mrs. w. H. Jameson; general
curator, Mrs. F. w. Johnson.
The two directors named Will be Mrs.
Willis j. Hole and Mrs. W. ]. Holder.
The only changes among the officers
will be in the president and the first
two vice presidents. Election of of1-
GERS will take place the first Monday
in June.
Members of the First Unitarian
