Westminster Free Library.

At a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Westminster Free
Library Association, held on Monday
night last, the president was instruct
ed to report through the Westminster
papers the condition of this important
work, and make an earnest appeal to
our citizens for increased support.
No enterprise has ever been carried
on so successfully on SO small an
amount of capital as the library. This
has been made possible by the gener-
Gus self sacrifice of the young gentle
men and ladies who have given their
time to keeping open the library on
each Monday and Thursday evening
and Saturday afternoon, and the own
ers of the buildings which the library
has been housed. Starting in the
rooms of the Young Mems Club, rent
free, it was later moved to the build
ing of Messrs Smith e Reifsnider,
who furnished a lighted and heated
room at rent considerably under mar
ket value. During the past year the
library found a home in the Times"
building, which by the courtesy of the
Mather Printing Company is occupied
free of any cost for rent, light or heat.
The treaSurer's report, which was
audited by the president and Mr.. J.
Pearre Wantz, showed receipts Of $106
from membership fees Gncluding a
small balance from the previous year)
and $3.50 from fines; total receipts
$109.50. The expenses were 1858
for new book cases, made necessary
by the change in location OF library;
$500 for printing; $500 to the Mary
land State Library Association for
the travelling cases, averaging fifty
books each, which are procured from
time to time; and $52.79 for new
books; total $10957; leaving balance
in the treasury at this time of $f4.05.
The librarians report showed 58
new books purchased; and 2542 books
taken out during the year. This Is
a remarkable showing in view Of the
comparatively small number OF books
in the library.
A large number OF books would
mean many more readers A larger
library is possible only by an in
creased number of membership fees OF
$1.00 or more generous donations from
those who are in sympathy with the
young people of the community, who
make up the majority of those who
are using the library.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to solicit membership fees
and larger contributions for the COM
ing year: Mrs. Douglas, Mrs. Ralph
Roger, Mrs. Laura Sellman; Misses
Sue Billingslea, Caroline Billingslea,
Sue Shriver, Margaret Bennett, Annie
Shriver, Harriet Miller and Bette
Knapp. The members of the COM
mittee will call on all former MEM
bers and contributors during the next
week or two, and it is hoped that
every one whom they approach will
respond with prompt and generous
contribution.

fifteen years secretary and treasurer

Mr.. Parke entered his fathers

number of years and was subse-
quently twice elected Register Of

nected with the Office as principal or
deputy for nearly 80 years. In this
connection he acquired an intimate
knowledge of testamentary law and
freely instructed executors and ad-
ministrators In their duties.
, Upon the organization OF the West
minister Deposit and Trust Company
on July l, 1898, he was chosen to fill
the position Of secretary and treas
urer, which Office he held until his

SPELLING CONTEST CLOSES.
Naomi Yingling, of Hampstead dis.
trict and Olive Ebaugh, of Wool
ery's district, the Winners.

The spelling contest, participated
in by the best spoilers from the Car
roll county schools, was resumed last
Saturday afternoon, in the High
School auditorium, the contest of
April IL having failed in disclosing
the winners of the prizes offered by
Superintendent Morelock. A large
number of people gathered last Sat
urday afternoon to witness the con-
test which they thought would surely
determine the matter. At 1.30 O'Clock
Mr.. Morelock gave a dictation exer-
else of 100 selected words to the II
contestants. A brief interval follow
ed, during which time the papers were
looked over, and it was found that
eight girls had witten all the words
correctly.
The eight girls then stood up and
the oral spelling began. At o'clock
six of the contestants still stood their
ground, and it was decided by the
Superintendent to put the matter Of
selecting the winners in the hands of
committee of three teachers from
New Windsor district: Misses Hannah
Skunk, Edna Wilson and Ivy Fowler.
This, it was thought, would be per-
fectly fair as there were no contest
ants from that district The contestants
were given pencil and paper again
and required to write from dictation
number Of sentences involving diff
cult words. These papers were placed
in the hands of committee of teach
ers to be examined. The report Of
the committee was made to the
County Superintendent on Monday.
ALI OF the papers contained some mis-
takes in spelling, but those contain
ing the fewest errors were those Of
Naomi Yingling, Of Hampstead Dis
trict, and Olive Ebaugh, of Woolery's
District, to whom the prizes will be
awarded; Miss Yingling receiving the
gold medal and Miss Ebaugh the
silver medal. The County Superin-
tendent is much gratified at the re-
suit of the Spelling Contests for he
believes that the charge that the
pupils of the public schools are gen
orally deficient in spelling has been
successfully refuted. He believes
further that these contests have been
productive of good results, i'm that
they have not only increased the eff
cheney of the schools i'm the matter of
spelling, but they have also aroused
a healthy interest in the work of the
schools in general among the people
of the county.

Tariff to Save Birds.

The proposed new Underwood tariff
has one feature that Is intended to
save the wild birds. The importation
of any aigrette or plume Of any wild
bird il absolutely forbidden. Ostrich
feathers are excepted, because they
can be taken without killing or hurt
ing the bird.
The slaughter of birds, that their
feathers may 60 on women's hats, has
almost exterminated the birds This
is especially true Of the white heron
that il killed for the aigrette. As
this ornament grows only during the
breeding season, each aigrette means,
usually, the cruel death Of whole
family of birds; for when the mother
bird is killed, the little one in the nest
are left to starve.

in MEMORY
OF
GEORGE MI. PARKE. ESQ, DECEASED.
1t becomes our sad and painful duty to record
the death of our esteemed Secretary and Treas
urer.
Owing to his high character and standing in the
County and his well known ability the oriEina-
tors Of this Company in the year eighteen hundred
and ninety -eight unanimously solicited Mr.. Parke
to accept the position of chief officer namely that
of Secretary and Treasurer, and all were highly
gratiied when he consented to accept. So well
and acceptably did he fulfill their fondest expec-
tation, that the institution during the fifteen
years he was in charge grew from small and in
significant bank to one of the largest and most
prosperous in the County: and this great growth
and success was due in q large measure to his
personality and ability. His kindly disposition
his urbane manners his sterling honesty and in
tegrity, his intense contempt and disgust at any
thing that even savored of injustice. trickery OF
sharp dealing. drew to him the highest respect of
all who came in contact with him. and sincerely
endeared him friend TO those of US who were
SO closely associated with him for so many years
and earned from affectionate regrrd.
We desire to express not in mere formality of
words but with the deepest. sincerest and most
heartfelt sorrow, our kindest sympathy towards
his bereaved family.
Resolved. That this Memoriam be spread
upon the minutes of the Company and a copy
thereof sent to Mr.. Parkes family and be pub
hshed in the Democratic Advocate.
