HELPING THE EXPOSE
TON.

The misfortune of the San Fran.
cisco exposition may yet be turned
into real national asset for the PEG.
PIE of the United States, if the right
program shall be adopted promptly
and executed energcticelly.
Europe will be i'll represented by
either exhibits or visitors. But that
is not an unmixed misfortune. Eu-
rope will be upable to receive and
entertain its normal quota of travel
ers from the United States, or from
any other country.
The people Of the United States
do not realize to what extent the
well-to-do classes of Central and
South American people travel
abroad. In proportion to their num-
bers. they are rather more cosmo-
politan people than we Americans.
There are great numbers of Rrazil-
ians, Chileans, Argentinians, Cubans,
etc, who maintain establishments in
European cities, and spend much
time there in every year. The meag-
er educational facilities of South
American countries arc supplement-
ed by educating children of the more
fortunate families in Europe, to a
much greater extent than any such
practice prevails among our own
people.
If in 1915 the South American
cosmopolites could be induced to
travel in the United States, it would
be an achievement OF the very first
utility to this country. More than
anything else, the United States
needs to convince the Latin-Ameri-
cans that Americans are the kind
OF people they really are; that we
are sincere friends of the other west
ern republics; that we are not car
ried away with the lust of empire,
the overwhelming ambition to own
all the land in the three Americas.
Time is short, but the opportunity
has arisen so suddenly, and is so
obvious, that there is reason for ex-
traordinary measures. 1t would be
a wise use of money and of the in
fuence of our diplomatic and con-
sular service, to promote a general
effort to bring these people of the
southern countries to the northern
They will want to see the
canal, to cross this continent, to in
spect the exposition. The fact that
it will be largely an American expo
sition will insure that the impression
will be the more favorable. The So
cial, political, and business advant-
ages to be reaped through such Wis
ltation of the leaders of business and
politics in the southern republics
would be incalculable.
Could not Congress well afford to
appropriate money enough to inaug-
1rate a well-organized campaign
throughout the other countries, in
FaTor of such an international calling
season for 1875? 1t looks like a |
very real opportunity.

"CHERCHEZ LA FEMME p

That two princesses of one of the
minor royal families of Europe have
had very major parts in bringing
about the present war of the ma
tons, is the interesting suggestion
made by one of the best authorities
on European affairs. They arc
Helena, Queen of Italy, and her sis
ter, now wife of Grand Duke Mich
ael Alexandrowitch, cousin of the
Gar of Russia. These sisters, both
beautiful, accomplished, and able,
are daughters of the late King of
Montenegro.
Much has been heard about the
supposed concern of Queen Helena
in behalf of her native country. She
is very much beloved in Italy, and
highly influential with King Victor
Emmanuel. her influence is cred
tied with leading part in develop
ing the Italian sentiment hostile to
Austria. Austria was the CO.
partner of Italy in the Triple Alli-
ance; but nevertheless Austria was
acutely ambitious to control the
eastern coast of the Adriatic, which
was repugnant to every interest and
every patriotic instinct of the Ital-
ian nation. 1t meant that Austria
would become a real maritime rival
to Italy, holding 4 coastline from
which she would always menace
Italy's position in the Mediterran-
can. Achievement of this purpose by
Austria would mean the extinction
or overshadowing of, Montenegro
independence; therefore it was easy
for Helena to make the cause Of the
native country appeal also to the
people of her adopted country.
While she was devoting herself to
this propaganda of sentiment in
Italy. the story goes, her sister, at
the Russian court, was no less &C
tive ir bringing the Russian autoc-
racy to believe that it, also, faced a
deadly and implacable enemy in the
House of Hapsburg.
Thus it falls ont that in the hour
of trial the Triple Alliance falls to
pieces because Italy prefers to stand
by her sympathies with the Balkan
states; and that Russia comes to
the support of Servia just at the
time when Servia's national exist
encc is menaced by Austrian aggres-
sion. Austria forced Russia's hand;
Russia forced Frances; France
forced England's; the violation of
her neutrality forced Belgium's; and
we see a continent in battle array
along the east and west frontiers of
Germany.
Perhaps the part of the two Mon
princesses is overestimated
oy people who attribute so much in
iuence to them. But as to Helena
Of Italy, it is very frankly accept
I'd that she has Deen a most i'm
'ortant factor in producing present
sentiment IN her country. The inner {
tory Of dynastic ambitions and fam
ly intrigues cannot but be a fasci-
lating one, when it is realized that
he royalties of the whole Continent
ire so intimately interrelated by
flood and marriage. Victoria was -,
he grandmother to Europe; Edward '
vas the uncle 10 Europe; King
George is the cousin to good part
# Europe. Old Nicholas of little
may one day be remem- ;
,ered as the father-in-law to the
NH Cerpoapic alliance !

Philanthropy Is work in which
the children should be given an
opportunity to take an active part
for 1t teaches great many good
. lessons in self-sacrifice. brother
ly love-" and rights and welfare
of their associates. And children.
as rule. are eager to Join in the
work in which their parents and
elder brothers and sisters are en-
gagged. The Juvenile Court work
of the D. A. R. Is largely among
children and were they given a
general understanding Of the work
they no doubt could be of great
assistance in helping their school
enough to fail into habits of break
ing laws.
Children Organize.
Each child in the neignborhood
seemed oblivfous to the rights of
every other child with whom 1t came
In daily contact at play. A plan of
organization of q club for the
purpose Of bringing these children
together In congenial association was
perfected. The first meeting was
held with q charter membership of
three littls girls. The club grew in
number until all the girls in the I'M
roediate neighborhood and several
blocks around had Joined. and en-
tkusiasm was strong.
Pefore many weeks the club had
taken up the work OF assisting
women and children Of poor families.
and proved the possibilities of the
child In child welfare work.
As It was near Thanksgiving, the
club was anxious to be kind fairies"
to some poor children who would
otherwise be unprovided with good
things to eat. To get money with
which to carry out their desire. 1t
was necessary for the club TO give
an entertainment This was con-
tributed by talent of "grown-up
sisters" from which a nice amount
was realized
Realize Own Blessings.
Great interest and pleasure was
manifested in the purchase Of -.he-
groceries and provisions. and the ar
rangement Of the well-fiiied baskets
which the children personally car
ried into five homes which repre-
sented families of about five men,
bers each. The visits to these homes
was worth more than anything else.
for the children realized. as never
before their own blessings!
The club was well known by this
time, and requests were coming
from all over the city for any assis-
lance 1t could give Among other
things this club, composed of twenty
little girls. all of whom were in
school. provided milk and shelter
for starving mother and babe,
fresh eggs and milk for a very sick
woman. Ice for a little girl who
had typhoid fever, a physician and
hospital care for a little boy whose
mother could not afford to have a
necessary operation performed,
clothing in quantities to individuals
and organized charities, and work.

The renowned Kinsale baseball club
of Virginia will cross bats with our
Leonardtown club on Friday, July 10
at $50 p. m, on the beautiful diamond
at Leonard Hall.
Great interest is manifested in this
game, especially by the fans of the
Northern Neck OF Virginia, as they
have the pick of the players of that
section of the State.
Leonardtown has held her own dur
this season and has not up TO this
writing, lost. q single game. The Vir-
ginians are smarting under the defeat
administered to the Heathsville club by
the Leonardtown nine on the fourth
instant in their home town, and the
pride of the two states is unbounded
in anticipation of the game to be play
ed here Friday.
We hope that everybody will turn
out to witness the game and thereby
give our boys the encouragement and
confidence they viii require to uphold
the title they have won and 10 sustain
the pride of Southern Maryland.

Spring; Spring, beautiful Spring,
Everything wears the green verdure of
Spring.
Sweet flowers wave their pretty heads,
To the gentle Breeze.
Birds sing gaily high up in the trees,
The beautiful woods in It's quiet still
ness!
The silence only broken by the singing
of birds,
And the signing of the wind in the
trees.
The soft ripple of the busy stream
Asst runs through the meadow green;
The wild flowers in their beauty
serene:
The brilliant morning star,
The grey dawn of the morning,
The afterglowe of the sunset,
The shadows of the twilight,
The hush of the dying day,
The bright stars that illuminate the
sky
With the light of the silver moon,
Softly and sweetly speaks TO the soul
OF the great and glorious world above.

Mr.. Blakiston was born in Leonard
town, was the son of James Thomas
and Ann Thomas Blakiston, his father
having been one of the leaders of the
Southern Maryland bar before the
Civil War. He never forgot the
county of his birth or It's interests and
was always working for it's develop
ment. One of his pet projects had long
been n railroad down through South
ern Maryland, and had he lived he
would probably have carried out
plans he and other Southern Mary
land men in Baltimore have long been
working on and which would have re-
suited in the building of railroad to
Esperanto at deep water on the Pa
tuxent, with connections to Baltimore
and Washington. He was instrumental
in securing positions for large num-
Der of st. Mary's countians.
Mr.. Blackstone was educated ut
Charlotte Hall and st. Johns College,
after which he taught school for
time and studied law in his fathers
Office. In 1882, wher he was q years

L. Wallace Blakiston, in the practice
OF law under the firm name of Blakis-
ton & Blakiston. He remained a
member of the firm for about ten years,
when he gave up his practice and en-
tered the financial field. In 1900 he
was chosed president of the Realty
Trust Company and under his man
sgement the Citizens Trust and De-
post Company and the Atlantic Trust

three the present Union Trust Com
pany was formed, of which Mr.. Blak-
iston had been the head from the time
of its organization until his death.
Early in 1892 Mr.. Blakiston became
interested in street railway transporta-
ton in Baltimore, and he was elected
member of the directorate of the old
Central Railway Company. He later
became the president of the company,
and to him more than to any other one
man, was due the electrification of the
road. He remained president of the
road until it was bought be the City
