Marriage Joke, Says Pulpit.

Marriage is too much Of joke. de-
ella red Rev. George Luther Cady. in the
Pilgrim Congregational Church, Dorchester,
Mass. on November 9th. ut is much
more important that society should protect
itself against evil marriage than against
smallpox or tuberculosis.
1.-THE names Of the fashionables Of Fifth

Society ought to clean itself out from
the top IL it expects any reformation from
the bottom. The chief peril which besets
the family to-day is not to be found in the

Retired Farmers Residing In
Rockville.

Mr.. John H. Gassaway has taken up his
residence in Rockville with his family.
They are occupying the dwelling that be-
longed to the estate of o. z. Muncaster,
whose daughter Mr.. Gassaway married as
his second wife. Mr. Gassaway has retired
from farming, having sold his farm, but
has retained his agricultural business at
Germantown, this county, and will look
after that.
The old homestead has been converted
into one of the handsomest buildings in this
town, viewing it from the outside appear
ance, and COMFORTS in inside conveniences
with modern architecture. An addition
has been made, which is of dimensions
nearly equal to those of the original part
of the building. The entire house has been
pebbled-dashed and the east front and
north side surrounded by spacious porches,
artistically painted. All this work has been
done under the management of Archi-
tect ThOs. C. Groomes, of this town.
Besides Mr. Gassaway, there reside in
Rockville, leading the life of retired farmers,
Messrs. E. o. Edmonston, Winfield Magru-
der, W. Robert Lyddane, B. C. Hughes and
James W. Mcfarland. After the first of
January next this coterie will be joined by
Mr.. L. G. Gardiner.
There are other farmers of our acquaint-
ance who are able to retire at their ease if
they chose to do so, but for reasons best
known to themselves prefer to remain in
the harness.
These gentlemen mostly are natives of
this county. They have labored with their
brains and hands to reach the goal of
success. which now permits them to retire
at their ease in years that do not bear very
heavily upon them. They are, with one
exception, men who are the fathers of
families of several children, whose educa-
ton in book knowledge and in the practical
affairs of life has been eagerly looked
after under keen parental eye. They
started farming as young men and with
little or no financial assistance from the
outside. They worked constantly at their
chosen calling. Though, while they were
doing that, they always found time to delib-
crate upon and act in matters that in
volved every citizens welfare in this county
and in the State, both political and reli-
gious. A majority of them will not be
content to sit down idle. They will enter
into some light business to keep their bu-
siness instincts alive.
In their success lies a lesson for the
farmer-boy who contemplates going to the
city to seek his fortune, and a substantial
argument in support of the oft-repeated
advice, Back to the farm" which is given
by the statesman and appears in the col
umns of the press of the entire country
unheeded unfortunately.

Tribute To Judge Henderson.

The December term of the Frederick
County Circuit Court convened last Monday
morning, with Chief Judge Hammond Urner
and Associate judges John c. Motter and
Edward c. Peter on the bench. 1t was the
first time Judge Peter has sat in that court
since his appointment
After the regular. docket had been gone
over former Chief Judge Glenn H. Worth
ington read before the court a tribute to
Judge James B. Henderson, of this town,
who has just retired which was prepared
by committee recently appointed by the
bar association of Frederick county.
After speaking of his judicial career the
tribute recited:
That no person, not even his worst
enemy, ever questioned Judge Henderson's
integrity Of character. In this regard he
was not only above reproach, but above
all suspicion. His impartiality has been
demonstrated by an unbroken line of de-
cisions on the bench, acting always with
out prejudice. He knew neither party to
the cause nor either attorney, but only the
legal principles which he deemed applica-
BILE. His patience to bear has been dem
Onstrated often under most trying circum-
stances. 1t was ever pleasure to a law
yer who has carefully prepared his case
to argue it before Judge Henderson But
Judge Henderson's intellect was too keen
and his learning too profound to be misled
by doubtful authority or to be confused
with legal subtleties and metaphysical re-
finements.
After a test of nearly l6 years in the
discharge of the delicate and responsible
duties of his position the judgment of this
bar is that Judge Henderson is possessed
in conspicuous degree of all the essential
qualities of good judge, such judge as
is needed for the safety and protection in
the rights and liberties. We feel that he
has earned our admiration and our graft
tude by the able and upright manner in
which he has performed the duties of his
exalted Office and we freely pay the small
tribute of our appreciation.
That kindly fate may grant him a
long drawn sunset hour, and that hence
forth to the end of his honorable life all
his ways be ways of pleasantness and all
his paths peace, is the sincere wish of the
members of the Frederick bar.

Vast Work Completed.

The work of surveying the oyster-bear-
ing bottoms in Chesapeake Bay and Its
tributaries in Maryland, which has been
in progress for the past four years, was
completed last week when the waters of
Dorchester county were surveyed and
mapped. The work was done for the pur-
pose of separating the natural oyster bot
toms from those barren and depleted, and
it is proposed to rent the depleted bottoms
to persons who will cover them with shells
and make them productive. as has been
done in Virginia for several years past.
The surveys were made by the Maryland
shellfish commission. aided by the United
States coast and geodetic survey and the
United States bureau of fisheries. Taking
into consideration the fact that the waters
of Maryland cover approximately l,200,-
600 acres, or 1875 square miles, exclud-
ing the main body of the Potomac river,
and that this great area of water had to
be mostly covered by lines of survey in
order to separate the natural oyster bars
from the barren and depleted bottoms, il
has been great undertaking. carried on
each year from April until Christmas, in
spite of the weather conditions, gales,
snow and ice, to completion.
The oyster survey of Maryland, it is as
serted, is considered by the United States
government to be the largest and most
accurate of the kind made in the history
of the country. Officers detailed by the
government on the work, to cooperate
with the State, we're:
Capt. G. c. Yates, assistant in the United
States coast and geodetic survey DR.. H,
+. Moore, assistant in the United States
bureau of fisheries.
The Maryland shellfish commissioners
Walter j. Mitchell, chairman Benjamin
X. Green. treasurer; Dr. Caswell Grave,
secretary; Swepson Earle. chief hydro
graphic engineer to the commission.
The work Of charting the counties re-
Gently surveyed will be carried on this
winter, and buoys to mark off the natural
oyster bars will be established in the spring
of 1911.

1.-THE Cut" Pays State.

That the Maryland House of Correction
is not only self-sustaining, but is also pro-
ducing more money than is needed for its
maintenance was shown last week at
meeting of the board of managers when it
was decided to turn over $45,000 of the
institutions funds to the State Treasury.
The entire surplus on hand was $50, 900,
but it was deemed advisable to keep
$4,000 of it in case any future emergen-
cies or requirements should arise. Later
it is expected that this sum, if not more,
might be turned over to the treasury.
Until last year the institution received
$4,000 year from the State for main
tenance, but this has been discontinued.
The suggestion to turn the money over
to the treasury was made by Gov. Crothers.
In doing so the Governor highly recon-
mended Superintendent Landlord for the
excellent management of the institution
and said his efforts were greatly appre-
ciated by the board of directors. The
Governor also highly commended the di-
rectors for their earnest work for the good
of the institution The motion to turn the
money over was made by Comptroller
Clagett and was unanimously adopted.
The board passed resolutions commencing
Mr., Landlord. Secretary Jones and Treas
urer Wells for their good work
1t was decided to give all of the en-
ployes at the institution three additional
days of holiday if it can be so arranged as
not to interfere with the work of the place.
The excellent financial showing made by
the institution is particularly gratifying to
all the State officials as it was made when
the prices of foodstuffs had increased al
most twofold, and during time when
there was an outbreak of typhoid fever
among the prisoners. In addition to hav-
ing this amount on hand the board has
spent about $4,000 for the erection of
an ice house and many repairs have been
made on the buildings, farms and roads,

Successful Concert.

The concert given by Professor Rainbow
at Laytonsville, this county, Thursday night
of last week, was quite success. The
church was well filed, and the lady ushers,
Misses Bessie Kimble Maud Bell, Cuyler
Dwyer and Ruth Haines performed their
parts admirably Dressed in pure white,
with white carnations adjoining their hair
and bodices, they were the cynosure of all
eyes by their pleasing attentions and
charming manners. The solos by Misses
Bessie Kimble and Elizabeth Dwyer were
magnificently rendered. The bass singing
of Arthur and Thomas Plummer was ex-
ceptionally fine; while the tenor singing
of Messrs. Ed. Kimble and j. Fillmore Bur-
riss received the highest commentator.
The alto singing of Mrs. Kimble, Miss Mary
Bell and Mrs. Frank Dwyer was especially
pleasing, while the accompaniment of Mrs.
Cook Walker was perfect. Professor Rain
bow convulsed his hearers with laughter
by his humorous sketches. and brought
tears to many eyes in the audience by the
rendition of his temperance and dramatic
selections.
Charlie Griffith and Paul Dryer won the
prizes for selling the largest number of
tickets

same as in former years and he is
unable to attend his church as he was
wont to do. On Easter morning 1903
he was present in his usual place and
walking slowly down the aisle he
mounted the platform and sang his
last Easter song to the congregation
here. It will long be remembered by
those who were present.
