 There seems reasonable excuse for a mental wandering back to the time of Cecillus Calvert and his brother, Leonard. and the first settlement under the grant of Charles; to the struggle of the revolution with the fire of pa triotism burning flercely in the breast of every ereature-with Francis Key singing aloft his joy in that still waved the star spangled banner; to that later period. when the foemans heel was on the shore of Maryland, and indignant spirits were quivering under the in- science of the invader.

Fever Still Gains
North Haven Cases Growing, Till Now 29 Are Re
 corded There

pr. R. B. Goodyear, health officer of North Haven, reports that there are now 29 eases of scarlet fever in the town. The epidemic continues to spread but is confined largely to those families in which it originally broke out. In some households there are as many as five children affected with the disease. In others four out of six are passing through the siege of the contagion. Strict care Is being exer- cised in the quarantining of the affect ed eases, but notwithstanding that the disease seems not yet to be under con trol.
 Because the new cases are breaking out In families where it already. ex- tsts the health officer believes the fever is not spreading seriously. Three new cases were reported last week, and an average of two new cases a week seems to be the rule since the epidemic broke out
 The school that had been closed has resumed sessions, but one day last week it was closed for Immigration, to be opened the next day. The ser vices of the Congregational church which are held in Memorial hall, were discontinued yesterday for the day in order to dislnfect the place. The hall has been used for social affairs and some of those attending had been stricken with the fever, so it was deemed best to fUmigate.
 Services will take place as usual next Sunday.
