CHARLES B. TRAIL DEAD.

The sudden death of Charles B. Trail
at his residence, Court Square, Tuesday
morning last, whilst not unexpected, was
nevertheless very great shock to the
community. Death in any event is
most unwelcome and most distressing, of
course in proportion to the position
which people occupy in community.

teen as man Of character and ability,
and held many positions of trust and
confidence. He has been associated

one Of our banking institutions and was
highly regarded as a fnancier. Not
only the public interests, but his own
and that of his family, he conserved with
judgment and business sagacity, and
many will deeply mourn his passage to
the great beyond. He was devoted to
his family, and loyal to his friends and
the community is much saddened by his
death.
Mr.. Trail was a descendant of an
old Scotch family, which has been
identified with Western Maryland for
many generations. He was born in
Frederick on February 2, 1857, and
was a son of the late Charles E. and
Ariauna (McElrresh) Trail
He was an extensive land owner in
this county, managing the Trail farms
consisting Of about 1900 acres of
highly cultivated land.
Mr. Trail was a yestryman of All
Saints Episcopal church, succeeding
his father He has also served in
many other positions, being direc-
tor OF the Mutual Fire Insurance
Company; a trustee of the Frederick
Female Seminary and president of the
Washington Turnpike Company. He
was a member of the Board of Visit
ors of the Maryland School for the
Deaf

Federated Charities Need Help

An employment bureau to provide
work for the men of Frederick was
suggested yesterday at the quarterly
meeting of the Federated Charities.
Men who have never been out of en-
ployment before are now unable to
secure work 1t is these conditions
that the Federated Charities want to
correct.
A committee of the leading business
men of the city will be requested to
investigate the operation of similar
bureaus in cities like Baltimore and
Washington.
There is a glazing lack of funds in
the treasury of the Federated Chart
ties. Much of the discussion centered
about this.
Contributions are small and few
and unless there is cooperation on
the part of the people of Frederick
for home charities, many are likely to
be unprovided for.
The organization urges the people
of the city to save all clothing. The
association has frequent calls for this.
"Self-Denial Day., December Is, has
been set aside for charity. The pro-
ceeds will be turned over to the Rev.
Thomas Freeman Dixon, of the Fed
Grated Charities. The Mayor has des-
ignated this day. He urges all peo-
pie of the city to respond to this call
and assist in the effort to raise money
for the needy of Frederick.
Much charity work in this county
has been done by this organization
While not large number of calls
have been made for help, it is believ
ed that the prevailing cold weather
will bring many pleas.
