At a meeting of tReNew England league. to be held tomorrow night in Boston, something may be said about the much discussed merger of this league with the strongest cities in the Eastern association. Although they were ruled out of organized baseball last season., Clarkfn and Carey, the Hartford and Springfield nnagnates, are hopeful of getdng fran chises in the new league if such a combination is ever formed.
 It is. said the two disgruntled ones will apply for. reinstatement when the minor league convention is held in San Francisco. How will they explain away the fact that they rented their grounds to the Colonial league?
 Alexander, the Phillies' great pitch CT, will receive another bonus of $1,- 900. This piece of car fare is donat- ed to him. for winning his 30th game yesterday. when he beat the Chiago Cubs. Owner Baker of the Phillies. gave Alexander $1,O0o a short time ago when he won his 18th game. An other, case of baseball slavery.
 Jack Coombs yesterday sighed a three-year contract with the Brooklyn Nationals. Coombs made such good showing this season, after Connie Mack considered him through, that he is sure of a good salary for the next three seasons. Although he said he would not accept the job of coaching the Yale pitchers the may take the po- sition if he can get away to join the Brooklyn squan by March 1.

The Old Home Town.

Do you RENE mber the lazy fellow
who used to sit around in the imple-
ment store and the barbershops in the
old home town and predict the failure
of every boy who tried to poke his nose
above the common herd? Up in the
village of Salem they used to crack lots
of jok es at the expense of q tank and
ungainly young fellow who clerked il
the village grocery, poled fiat boats on
the river anil split rails for a living.
They called him Abe in those days. He
became the president of the United
states and thousands from far places
on the earth have visited his tomb at
Spring field to do him honor. They used
to make fun of Bill McAdoo back in the
home town. Of course you've heard Of
Bill He dug tunnel under the Hud-
son river and is secretary of the treasury
now. But there are lot of old tads
back in the old home town who sort OF
hope that Bill will fall over something
yet and land in the consomme. And
Orville Wright was regular joke in
his old home town. 1t is the old home
town itself that is the joke.

The Poor Town.

You say that things are on the blink
at Purktown-by.the Dump; there's no
chance there for any gink, no odds how
he may hump. The town has moss all
up it's back, it isn't up to date, its out
look s poor, it's trade is slack, you think
you'll pull your freight. I've met some
right and hustllng lads from Punk
town, now and then: they say it is the
best of grass for active, hustling men.
They say you'll find the finest Jail, the
largest village pump, the longest list of
men with kale, at Punktown. blythe
Dump Tho Purktown climate has no
faint. so goes their joyous song; the
Punktown girls are fresh as paint, the
Punktown boys are strong. If you
would join that boostful bunch, and
shoe your crouch away, you soon would
have better punch, and put up far
more hay. For when fellow blames
his town because he doesn't shine, the
tired oniookers set him down as one
who lacks spine. There never was a
town so bum it would refuse a prize to
one who tries to make things hum, with
ardor IN his eyes. There never was a
town SO fine thatit would give all good
to one who springs an endless whine,
while others saw their wood.

HAD TO DO WITHOUT LILY
Impecunious Husband Really Had No
Alternative, According to His
Explanation. :.

There was a. flower stand at the
street corner, and an old chap had
been gazing at the display of lilies for
the last five minutes, as he leaned
against lamp-post, when middle
aged woman came up in search of a
flower. The florist was temporarily
engaged with customer, and the old
man stepped forward and asked:
"Ah, madam, you are looking for a
lily presumed
Il am, sir, was the reply.
Lilies and Easter-rEaster and
lilies. All, how it saddens my heart
to think Of them. Five years ago my
dear wife asked me to buy her an
Easter lily. 1t almost broke my heart
to refuse, her, but had to do it."
What" exclaimed the woman, you
wouldn't buy your wife an Easter
lily?'
ALAS, madam, / could not, owing to
financial reasons"
But you could have bought lily
from dollar up"
II presume so, madam, but when
one has only 13 cents in cash, in his
pocket, and half bushel, of corn
meal in the house, how is one even to
buy a dollar lily?"
The woman looked him from top to
bottom and muttered ''humph," and
turned away in disgust. She did not
realize that there are times when even
millionaires are compelled to econo-
mize, even though 1t breaks hearts.

A Public Play Ground.

1t has been decided by persons
who have studied the question,
and know, that public play
grounds are necessity in deve1-
oping the child life Of commu-
nifty, and we are quite sure they
are right.
The crying need Of a public
play ground for the children OF
Charles Town has been forcibly
impressed upon us for some time
past. After the schools close our
little ones are turned loose to find
recreation for themselves which
all children must have. and it is
generally found in the streets.
We have often seen dozen or
more youths playing around the
town pump or the drinking foun-
tain, and very frequently right
out in the middle of the street
where it is most dangerous for
them to be. Now these children
should certainly have some place
provided for them where they can
entertain and amuSe themselves
away from harm and danger
during the hot summer days.
With the number Of vacant
lots in town, growing up in weeds
it has occurred to us that certain
ly one could be COTTON hold OF
and fitted up at a comparatively
little cost if the town authorities,
the Civic League and all others
interested in child welfare, would
all put their shoulder to the
wheel. Let's try it.

Monument Site Still In Dispute.

Mr.. Bohn. of the engineering staff of
the Norfolk & Western Railway, was
in Shepherdstown on Tuesday, at the
request of Henry w. Potts, president
of the Rumseyan Society. to mark the
lines of the property purchased by the
society as site for the proposed
monument to James Rumsey, inventor
of the steamboat. 1t will be recalled
that the society purchased several acres
of land from the railroad company for
this purpose the company making a
very moderate price on the property.
AS preparations were being made to
begin work on the project, U. s. Mar
tin, who is mayor of the town, notified
Mr.. Potts that he claimed. part of the
bluff at the percise spot where the
monument is to be erected. Mr.. BONN
was there on Tuesday with maps and
other data, and he declared that the
railroad company conveyed to the so-.
ciety only such property as it had a
right to sell. He states that Mr.. Mar
tins claim is not valid one. but MIR.
Martin is very tirmin his stand that he
owns the small strip of rock in dispute,
and he asks as much for few square
feet at the top of the bluff as the railroad
sold an acre for. Naturally the society
objects to paying twice for the same
land. neither does it wish to engage
in law suit that viii mean costly
litigation and tedious delay. tits very
unfortunate for many reasons that the
enterprise is blocked. !. The State
authorities have urged that the work
be commenced before the first of July,
and delay may mean considerable em- !
barrassmens, if not serious complicat-
ions. -Shepherdstown Register.

Bishop Peterkin's Farewell Address

The farewell address of Bishop
George W. Peterkin, D. D., to the
Episcopal Council. the text of which
was printed in the SentineLon Wednes-
day, was at once an inspiration and
pathetic document. Written from a
bed of pain. there was no hint at COM
plant; ON the contrary. in every line it
breathed a spirit of thankfulness and
gratitude that the good Lord had given
the author so long time in which to
render active service for the cause he
loved SO well. A worthy Christian
soldier is Bishop Peterkin and may he
live long to enjoy his rest from active
labors, a restato which he was entitled
long ago. but which his indomitable
energy and his deep devotion to his
people prevented him from taking. q

In PArksrsburg last week B. n.

G. W. Peterkin to the Episcopal Council.
The reading of the message caused
great emotion. The message follows:
II give a cordial greeting to the
3Sth annual council assembling in Park

can take no part in the sociaIs functions
or religious exercises
:" have made no visitatioDs for more
than twelve months and here is nothing
OF that kind to report. l have only
been able to learn how. under the
direction of the Bishop Coadjutor and
largely through his personal exertions,
the work of the Diocese has gone on
uninterruptedly and successfully.
Thank God for the hand at the helm in
our hour of need,
Il have awaited my self of the kind
and thoughtful request of the Stand.
ing Committee to consider myself re-
Iieved from all work for a years time.
The result has been that after fully
diagnosing the case under skillful ply
sicians here and elsewhere, ] have with
great regret, reached the conclusion
that / have reached the limit of the
work the good LordShas assigned me,
and have therefore placed the resig-
nation of my jurisdiction in the hands
Of the Presiding Bishop. He informs
me that except under special pressure
it will take until April 1916 to consum-
mate my purpose. This will allow
ample time to arrange and adjust all
Diocesan matters. In the meantime,
the Coadjutor can administer the
Diocese.
Zone matter however must be at
tended to at once. / desire to surren-
dered eight hundred dollars or my sal
airy in favor of the Bishop Coadjutor.
He does the work, He has the respon-
sibility and three hundred dollars
month is little enough compensation,
especially as his travelling expenses.
from five to seven hundred dollars per
annum, have to come out of it. With
twelve hundred dollars year and the
Episcopal residence the Bishop is very
handsomely provided for. 1t is with
devout gratitude to God that turn
over the Diocese to the efficient and
acceptable hands of the Bishop Coad-
jutor.
'These statements thus frankly made
contain many suggestions which have
not the courage to pursue, nor have l
the strength to follow up the senti-
ments involved. As look back upon
thirty-seven years of imperfect service

Il thank the Diocese for these thir-
ty-seven years of uninterrupted and
loyal consideration. affection and con.
slant appreciation.
May the good Lord bless you every
