A SERIES OF PILGRTMAGES.
To the World in Baltimore to be Made
BY the Sunday School Pupils Of
Saint Anne's Parish.

8 At the annual teachers meeting of
the Sunday-schools of st. Anne's Par
ish, held last night, much business of a
routine nature was transacted.
The superintendent of the Parish
Sunday-school informed the teachers
of its interest in the great missionary
exposition to be held in Baltimore next
month, ana of its great value in an
educational way. He was requested.
by formal action of the teachers, to
organize series of pilgrimages for
the children Of the three Sunday
schools of the parish, beginning with
the last Saturday in November.
The children who make the pilgrim
age to the exposition and the pageant
of Light and Darkness" are to do so
at their own expense. The superinten-
ent, with the assistance of several
teachers. is to see that they are prop
erly conducted to the exposition and
pageant. He also hopes to secure spec.
ial rates for those Saturday trips and
special terms for admission. The chill
dren are TO be taught to look upon
his as a pilgrimage, that is a good
thing to do.
They are not to be taken as upon
an excursion, but too be conducted,
having made some effort upon their
own parts. 1t was very clearly out
lined that no Sunday school funds were
to be used for this purpose and no ap-
peals were to be made for defraying
the expenses.

WOULD GO TO FIGHT
FOR NATIVE COUNTRY
Constantine Cardes Says He Win
Return to Greece.
is NATURALIZED CITIZEN.
But He Holds Allegiance to Lend Of
Nativity and Wants to Take Up
Arms if War is Declared.

Constantine Cardes, a. years old,
proprietor Of West street confec-
tionery store, would go back to his
arms for his country, in the trouble
now impending in the Balkan states.
Constantine Cardes is the younger
brother of Gus Cardes, who has con-
fectionery store on Main street. He
was in Baltimore yesterday trying to
put through negotiation for the sale
of his business interests here, so that
he might return and fight if his coun-
try needs him. His case is typical
If that of thousands of creeks in
America today.
Business? ah yes, it's good
enough" sighed the Grsek in rather
good English, "but my country needs
me. 1t is the serious matter, friend,
and we must go. Some have got to
go--they have not been out of the
army long enough and will be obliged
to return and fight. The rest of u.s.
we want to go for our country"
Cardes says he has been in America
about eighteen years, the first six of
which he worked as a laborer and as
a clerk in fruit store, saving money
all the time and sending part of it
back to Sparta, near which his
father had owned farm, to support
his widowed mother and young
brother.
Twelve years ago he started up
his little store. although hardly able
to understand English at the time,
and had soon sent for an older
brother. Last year the younger
brother, who was Is years old then,
was sent for to bring his mother
to America. The younger brother
was in the regular army two years and
he and Constantine are now to return
to fight if war is declared.
"I'm a citizen of the United
States" he said, land have voted for
ten years. But when the country you
are born in needs you, why, that's
the country you're a citizen Of. My
brother can hardly wait and we want
to wind up affairs here and get home
in time. My older brother can stay
here for a while and take care of my
wife and mother until it is absolutely
necessary for him to be in Greece
then he will come"

S. P. C. A. MEETING.
Committee Appointed to Make Appeal
for Financial Help.

The meeting called for Monday at
ii a. m. in the room of the Chamber
of Commerce was attended by twelve
persons, including the agent.
The work of the Society during the
past summer when some people
thought il was dead, was gone over
at great length, and proved that the
agent had found some sort of work of
mercy for horse, dog or cat every day.
After a prolonged discussion it was
finally decided not to give up the SER
vices Of the agent, nor the headquar-
ters of the Society in the Advertiser
Republican Building, but to endeavor
to raise money to meet the running
expenses.
Ways and means of doing this were
pointed out BY various members pres
eut, and Miss Nancy Walton, Miss
Mary r. Magruder and Miss Jessup
were appointed a committee with
power to enlarge the number to ar
range for an entertainment of some
sort for the benefit of the Society.
One of the men present proposed
asking the City Council and the Coun-
ty Commissioners for small monthly
appr opriation to the work. The prop
ositioh met with hearty approval, and
the cnair appointed Mrs. Robert
Moss, Miss Walton, Rev. James l..
Smiley, Messrs. Douw and Riley, a
committee to make this appeal to the
two bodies at their next regular
meeting, October Ia and Is.
The question arose as to how many
citizens of Annapolis were members
or contributors, and it was found by
consulting the membership list that
there are only forty-a small proper
tion of citizenship. Up to date S37
has BEEN received in response to the
appeal for funds to carry on the
work, s25 having been sent by the
woman whJ gave the Society start
in Annapolis.

GEN. WILLIAMS LOSES VOTE.
Former Secretary Of State Failed to
Get Transfer From First Ward of
This Civ.

N. Winslow Williams, Bull Moose
elector, will not be eligible to vote at
the presidential election because he
failed to secure transfer from the
First ward of this city. where he Off
cially resided during the four years he
served as Secretary of State.
The Constitution of the State makes
the place of residence of the Governor
and Secretary of State in this city, and
General Williams name had been on
the books until now. As Tuesday was
the last supplemental registration day
here,it is too late for General Williams
to secure a transfer, and if his name
has been placed on the books in Balti-
more since the enrolment began it is
there illegally and must be taken off.
as 1t is not permissible to register n
any part of the State where name S
already on the books at one place un-
less transfer is obtained.
The local registers placed Mr.. Will
iams' name on the suspect list Tuesday
nightawhen the re registration closed. and
it will be stricken off next Tuesday.

There is no way for him to save his

add materially to the city's assess
