Familiarity known to everyone who has

kitchen and this part of the Baughman
home she managed with the utmost skill
and discretion. She had knowledge of
cooking that commanded the admiration
OF all who ever sat down to the hospitable
board at Poplar Terrace and this faculty.
OF hers was noted by many distinguished
guests of Mrs. Baughman and the late
General L. Victor Baughman, who de.
lighted in extending a cordial welcome 10
their friends at any and all times. There

Jane hade method of taking care of
things in such manner that the hostess
was never put to embarrassment because
OF the appearance of the unexpected

Planning For Monocacy Battle
Anniversary.

The monthly meeting of Fitzhugh Lee
Chapter, 279, United Daughters of the
Confederacy, was held Tuesday evening
Considerable routine business was trans
acted
Plans were discussed for the fifteenth
anniversary OF the Battle Of Monocacy
which will occur on July Q. Various
committees have been appointed to com
plete the work. 1t is too early vet to an
nounce any definite program, but it is
safe to say the occasion will be one of in
terest. 1t is hoped to have speakers
from the survivors of that battle, and it is
expected that many veterans will be pres
ent. As has already been published, the
proposed marker will be simple bould-
er of Maryland Granite with tablet
suitably inscribed.
After business a selection was read

eral, Mrs. Rutherford. which was deliv-

$4,000 Fire at sykesville.

Fire on Tuesday morning, February
grid, DESTROYED the -four mill of Augustus
R. Selby, at Rover, Howard county, near
Sykesvile and the loss, which is partly
covered by insurance, will amount to
upwards Of $4,000
The fire was caused by an explosion of
an engine in the mill, which is thought
to have thrown spark on the roof. AS
the men were getting ready to start the
mill, the blaze was discovered on the
roof, and the telephone operator at
Sykesville was called, who gave the
news of the fire to the surrounding neigh
borhood A crowd quickly gathered on
the scene, and in a short time there were
fully five hundred persons present. A
bucket brigade was formed and the res
dence of Mr.. Selby which is near the
mill, was saved.

Post Of1ceiReceipts Gain.

The receipts at the local poStoffice for
the past month totaled S3,772.57, and
were announced few days ago by Post
master William c. Birelv. This is
gain Of $3S4.4 over the same month for
last year.
By the report at the end of the fiscal
year, July 1913, the receipts for one year
of the local postotfice totaled up to about
$36,6oo, which is about $4,000 less than
the amount which is necessary to put the
Frederick office on the first class list.
If the local postofiice can show a gain of
about $3.50 each month during the COM
ing year the receipts will jump to the
$40 600 mark, which is the dividing line.
There is no doubt at the rate that the
receipts are increasing that it will not be
long before the local postoffice is put on
the tirst-class list. 1t is estimated that in
about two years the local office will have
made up the necessary increase in re-
ceipts
During the latter part of December,
the Christmas holidays, the local post
Office made a record for itself not only
IN the enormous increase in business but
i'll the manner in which the 1900 or
more parcels. of the parcel post system,
were handled. 1t is understood that Of
the thousands of packages that were
handled, only one went aStrav, and that
package was recovered and delivered
without appreclable delay.

Hagerstown and Frederick Rail
way Company Gets Fifty
Year Franchise.

A fifty year lighting franchise was
granted to the Hagerstown and Frederick
Railway Company on Wednesday even
ing, February 4th, by unanimous vote
at special meeting of the Board of AL
dermen. In return for this franchise the
Hagerstown and Frederick Railway
Company relinquishes all rights to the
perpetual franchise of the company which
ostensibty expires in 1922.
The Board of Aldermen of Frederick
passed the following resolution on We'd
nesday evening:
That the City Attorney be instructed
to prepare an ordinanch granting to the
HagerStown and Frederick Railway
Company the right to manufacture and
sell the current within the corporate
limits of the city for a period Of so years
under certain restrictions and conditions
and provisions as set forth in the ordi-
nance"
Representing the Hagerstown and
Frederick Railway Company, were
Messrs. Emory L. Coblentz, Thomas
H. Haller, James H. Gambrill, Jr., and
David Lowenstein appeared before the
Board of Aldermen on Wednesday even
ing and asked that the FRANCHISE be
granted to the company.
Mr.. Coblentz explained that the COM
pany desires the franchises of the COM
pany to be in such condition that they
extend beyond the life of the securities,
which would be issued. He farther ex-
planned that this franchise was necessary
to complete the plans for the financing
of the company.
In granting the request of the repre-
rentatives of the Railway Company the
Board of Aldermen have secured point
for they have taken in the old franchise
which in the opinion of some
of the best legal authorities of the State
was a perpetual franchise. Under this
franchise the city did not have the re-
strictions that will be gained under the
new franchise.
The members of the board came to
their decision only after much thought
They have had this proposition in mind
for some time and at the meeting unan.
imously granted the franchise. The or
dinance granting the franchise will be
submitted to the vote of the board at
future meeting.
Another feature of the franchise is that
both the lighting franchise of the COM
pany and the railway franchise will ex
pire at the same time. The new fran.
chise will become effective upon its pas
sage.
Mayor Fraley called the attention of
Mr.. Coblentz recently to the running of
an electric car on Tuesday night when
the fire apparatus had turned out for
fire. The Mayor explained that it had
been reported that the electric cars raced
the Junior apparatus down the main
street and that collision was averted at
the Square Corner" by the narrowest
margin. Mr.. Coblentz said that the COM
pany had issued an order requiring all
cars to stop when the fire apparatus was
using the street. He said that the matter
would be thoroughly investigated and
remedied.
