CONFERENCE MEETS
AT FEDERALSBURG SOON

Within a few days the march on Fed
eralsburg, Md, by the members of the
Maryland Annual Conference of the
Methodist Protestant Church will have
commenced. The sessions of the con-
ference which will be held In that
town from April 8 to IL, inclusive
viii constitute its eighty-third session
To accommodate this large body Of
churchmen will be a new and great
undertaking for the people OF this pro-
gressive town, which is situated In the
southern part of Caroline county, yet
they have risen to the occasion In ad-
mirable fashion by providing ample
homes for the visitors. The entire
town is interested in the event and is
determined to sustain its well-deserved
reputation for progressiveness. The
Rev. Charles NJ Elderdice is pastor OF
the conference church, and has been
indefatgable In his efforts TO make the
approaching gathering one OF the most
pleasant in the history Of the confer
ence.
AS is always the case with Methodist
conferences, interest centers more or
less in the exchange Of pulpits. and
the session this year promises some
be no changes in the two Methodist
Protestant churches located in this
city, quite a number of important
changes are likely to occur in other
churches located within the confer
ence district This is particularly true
with reference to the pastors of the
mission churches, which are at this
time supplied by students of the West
minister Theological Seminary, located
az Westminster, Nd.
Il Among possible changes are the
Rev. 9. P. Nowlin, who has served Lis
bon circuit, In Howard county, for the
past six years. There is some talk of
the Rev. II. l.. Schlincke leaving Be
lair circuit. The Rev. I. II. Wright
will leave Kent Island circuit after a
pastorate of six years. Laurel circuit
may also be vacant, as It is likely thai
the Rev. G. r. Donaldson, who ha.
served the appointment for the pas
four years, will vacate. II is also ru
mored that the Rev. J. L. Nichols vii
leave Whaleyville circuit, in Worcester
county. The Rev. Daniel w Anstine
who has been the pastor of HampdeI
| Church, Baltimore. has announced
that he will leave the active ministry
In April and take up farming on hi.
wife's place, located on the Eastern
Shore. The Rev. J. Z. Nicholson, OF

Guarding a Thrush's Nest.

When little brown thrush yester- day pushed six fledgings from a nest she had brazenly built upon the tuck of an idle freight car more than d month ago the car was released once more for the use Of shippers. For five weeks the car remained on the siding because kindhearted William South wick, yardmaster at the East Burling- ton freight yards. would not permit the mother bird and her strangely chosen nest tO be disturbed
 Other "empties" came and went. but car No 5S967 was jealously guarded by Southwick and the yard crew. and once there was almost an open rup- ture when a careless brakeman allow ed a drilling -car to bump Chat on whose trucks sat the tiny nest. Even after the eggs matched the car remain ed on the siding undisturbed Today the nest is empty; the yard, engine coupled to the car and drew it away for a load of freight.

SUMMER CAPITALS.

It is impossible to say how many thousand summer resorts there are m the Irnited states. but obviously Presi- dent Taft cannot turn all of them into summer capitals. He has decided fondness for travel. he is of most ob- liging disposition, and no president was ever less given to discrimination be- tween sections of the country. But some things are past human perfor- nance.
 The Minnesotans are extremely con siderate in offering to furnish the pres ident with a summer residence in their state, but they should remember that there are forty-five other states, to say nothing of he territories, that are ready to bid against them for MT Taft. No state is going to let its summer re- sort business be sacrificed for the sake of booming that of some other state. if it can help it. Of course. few states might be willing to compromise by fur nishing Mir Taft with spring, autumn, or winter capitals. but unfortunately circumstances require that MN Taft shall spend certain amount of his time in Washington.
 The day may come when every state will be able to boast at least one sum mer resort displaying the advertise ment that it was President --'s sum uer capital just as all up and down the Atlantic states it is pointed out that Washington slept in this house. New York World.

 Wont Twenty Rounds.

San Francisco. Cal, June 2S.- Freddie Welch won the decision over Matty Baldwin in hard-fought twenty round battle here tonight.
 Although outgeneraled and out pointed at the start. the Boston fighter rallied during the closing rounds and several times brought the fans to their feet by an attack which seemed to threaten seriously the chances of the Pontypridd battler. Baldwin's determined stand during the last five rounds Of the contest was a rare exhibition of gameness.
 Bleeding and battered. with the az gresSiVe Welshman launching d sharper attack with every round. he suddenly found new reserve of fighting force and carried the fight fiercely to Welch After the twelfth round Baldwin. outfought at close quarters, attempted to fight at long range. Welch rocked his head with straight Iefts and. closing in. bat tered Baldwin's bleeding face and hammered his kidneys with snappy. short-arm jabs.
