PRICE ONE CENT
NEW YEARS SERVICES.
At St. Anne's Church Tuesday Night
and on Wednesday.

The rector, Rev. DR.. Joseph r. Nc
Comas, announced on Sunday the New
Years services to be held in St.
Anne's Church. They will begin
with an organ recital by the organist
and chcirmaster Of the church, Mr.. G.
A. r. Wilkinson, at II O'Clock to-
night.
Wednesday is the octave of Christ
mas, the feast of the Circumcision of
Christ and New Years Day. The
first service of the day will follow the
organ recital tonight about III so to
IL As o clock, continuing past mid
night, 1t will be celebration Of the
Holy Communion. The next service
will be at z a. m. and another at
10 80 q. m. celebrations of the Holy
Communion. St. Cecilia's Guild will
sing at the midnight service and at
10 80 a. m.
There will be evening prayer at 5
o'clock. The offerings at these ser
vices will be for Diocesan Missions.
An announcement was also made
that the Annapolis Chapter of the
Bishops Guild would attend the 4 so
p. m. service in a body upon next
Sunday, January 5, the Eve of the
Epiphany The Chapter will make
corporate communion in ST. Anne's
Chapel at s a. m. and attend the aft
ernoon service in st. Anne's Church
At this latter service a sermon will
be preached before them by the Rev.
+. G. F. Shears, Of Severn Parish in
this county. The Guild works for
silent churches in the diocese. It is
due TO the Guild efforts that many
of the old Colonial churches of
Maryland have not been closed.
These churches, mostly in the coun-
ty, suffer through the change in pop
ulation. The drift is often 70 the
cities and sometimes from the part of
the parish in which the church is To-
Gated. Under such circumstances il
is difficult to maintain the church
and il becomes "silent. The Guild
works to keep these churches open.
In MANY instances the usefulness Of
the church more than warrants the
effort and, after a time, the congre.
cation assumes its own Anancial bur
dens again. There are no "silent
churches" in the Diocese of Mary
land, due to the Guilds work.
The Woman's Auxiliary e the
Board of Missions, which works for
domestic and foreign missions, will
hold a meeting this week on Friday,
at p. m. in the Guild Room OF the
church. Miss Barber. a missionary
from China, will speak. The auxil-
iary will make corporate communion
in St. Anne's Church upon Monday,
January the Feast of the Epiphany,
at the 10 a. m. service.
The Mems Guild will meet at St.
Anne's Chapel Qower room) Thursday

Andrew will meet this evening at
z 80 O'Clock in the Guild Room at the
church.

WHO HOLDS NO. sl62?
This Number Wins the Piano Owner
Has Not MateriaIized.

Last night at 1880 O'Clock the
drawing for the handsome piano given
away by the firm of Isaac Benesch &
Sons, the well-knowu enterprising
local firm, took place in one of the
large show windows of the Main street
store.
The drawing was done by Miss Ida
Hyde, who had previously won the
distinction through public ballot cast
by purchasers at the store, and in the
keenest rivalry, had won the desk
and the privilege Of drawing for the
piano. The young lady was blind
folded, Mayor Strange, one of the
judges, tying the silk handkerchief
over her eyes. She was led into the
window and the seal of the large glass
ballot box containing thousands of
votes, was broken by the Mayor.
In the presence of the judges, who,
besides the Mayor were, City Clerk
p. E. Porter, Chief of Police Charles
Oberry, Mr.. S. Reese Abbott, of the
Evening Capital, and the editor, the
young lady drew the ballots whose
numbers were recorded by Mr.. Porter
as they were drawn.
1t had been suggested that as the
coming year is 1913, the thirteenth
ballot drawn would win the piano.
This was decided upon and Miss Hyde
drew one by ole twelve ballots. Then
all the twelve were thrown back into
the glass ballot box, thus giving
everybody an equal chance. The thir-
teenth was No. 5162, and who holds
this number is question, as nobody
has come forward to present the du-
plicate and claim the piano.
The numbers drawn successively
were as follows: $40, GS55, 40b4,
64S9, 1914, 8459, 2036, 1926, 1851,
1882, 1117, 6717, 5162.

We have been selling flags for over
thirty years and think we know a
thing or two about them.
We know that many of the flags on
the market are not made to wear or
keep their color, but only look good
until they are sold.
We know that we have found a
firm that makes flags that will prove
satisfactory. When they say wool
flag it is all wool. When they claim
fast colors," they will not run to-
gether if left out in the rain.
We have been buying from that
firm for years. We sell their flags
as low as the inferior kinds are sold
for.
We have a great many kinds and
sizes, at many prices; enough to suit
every taste and pocket book.
Buy a flag for the home and one
for each of the youngsters.
Show your colors on Memorial day
