To the Editor OF the Beacon:
The new st. Panl's Mefhodist Epis-
copai Church, in Leonardtown, Md,
viii - formally opened next Sunday,
Feb. IL, 1915. Services will be held
at ii a. m, ; p. m, and T:30 p. m
The Superintendent, Rev. DIR. Edward
Hayes, of Baltimore, win occupy the
pulpit at all the services. Special
mnslc will be rendered. Visiting min
listers are expected TO participate. The
pastor, Rev. DR.. w. wilberforce Co.'S
tin, viii be in charge. The public is
cordially invited TO attend all the
meetings.
The new church Is considered very
beautiful outside and in. II Is proba-
bly, the finest of the denomination in
Saushern Maryland. The main audi
toriam seats 235. The lecture room
s.. There is a rear extension for the
pulpit and pastors room 6x23 feet.
The main auditorium is 32x45 feet, and
the lecture. room IL 1-2x26 feet. The
rooms connect by folding doors. The
walls are II feet, ceiling % feet high.
The ,ower is sxs, So feet high. The
floor of the auditorium Is inclined one
foot in sixteen feet. The church is
built of cement blocks.
Great credit Is due Mr.. Lafe Graves
of Laurel Grove. this county, and
those who cooperated with him, for the
success of the undertaking. Mr.
Graves is one of the most careful and
conscientious workman we have ever
met. He sights nothing. AS framer
of buildings he is probably unequalled
in the county. He is n master Of blue
prints. He is painstaking and accu-
rate. He knows how to cooperate and
also how to lead. He is calm under
the most trying circumstances. Never
an oath or anything OF anger from
him. The rule through all the ten
months of work, was, mo smoking
on the premises" The men all tried
to work harmoniousIy. All the work
was done by men from the county
without regard to denominational dis
tinctions.
The church has metal ceiling and
walls. The Kinnear andGager Manu-
featuring Company OF Columbus, o.,
supplied the material, and Mr.. G. @.
Hammers men from Washington, d.
c., put it on. The painting was done
by Mr.. Clinton Graves, of Laurel
Grove, this county and his helpers.
The colors are we'll selected and blend
beautifully. The contrasts are exact
and not too pronounced. The general
effect is highly satisfying. Mr..
Graves is one of the best painters in
Southern Maryland.
Prices paper limitation of stained
glass is used to beautify the windows.
This was put put on by Mr.. j. p.
Bullock, Mr.. j. F. King and Mr.. John
DOYLE.
The Methodists are greatly pleased
with their new church; in fact every
body seems complimentary in their ex-
pressions concerning it. This is very
gratifying to the building committee,
which is composed of the following
persons: Capt. A. A. Lawrence, chair
man; Capt. Thomas +. Foxwell, treas
urer; C. W. Foxwell, secretary: Harry
M. Jones, Archie Bennett, Capt. Web
ster Foxwell and w. Wilberforce

Remember the public is cordially
invited to the formal opening next

At his home In St. Inigoes District
St. Mary's County, Maryland in May,
1914, HENRY Clay CLARK, son of the
late Ann NJ. Smith and DIR. RoberI
Clarke, in the SD year OF his age.
Mr.. Clarke had been quite an inva.
lid for several years, produced by
severe attack of paralysis and later
on second attack, and though faith.
fully attended by medical skill and
tenderly nursed by his untiring and
devoted children, hs succumbed after
long illness which he bore with great
patience and Christian resignation,
and died fortified by the holy sacra.
ments OF the Roman Catholic Church,
and his remains were inferred in st.
Michael's Cemetery beside his towing
and loved wife and children.
Mr.. Clarke was brother of the late
Stanislaus Clarke, Robert Clarke,
Mrs. George ID. Coad (nee Josephine
NJ. Clarkel, Mrs. William Clarke (nee
Annie NJ. Clarkel and Mrs. J. #.
Freeman (nee Z. Laura Clark who
survive him.
Mr.. Clarke was a life long resident
OF this, his native county and state;
and though at an early age he made a
visit to his near relatives in South
Carolina and was offered inducements
to settle in business further south, he
preferred to return 10 his native state
and there end his days; although, he
held in his heart so strong il tie oi
love for Carolina" the home of so
many OF his relatives on his fathers
side, and where his fathers only two
brothers (Dr. Cable Clarke and Will
liam Clarke) had gone, married and
settled. Later on Mr.. Clarke married
Miss Julia Young, daughter of the
late Motley Young of Prince Georges s
County, Maryland, q most loyable and
charming lady, and truly a most hap
py one: for come what would; reverses
OF fortune, crosses or Affections, oi
which poor mortals here below are
heir to,-nothing seemed ever to dim
or break that sweet chain OF conjugal
devotion, cheerfulness and content
ment. Theirs was an ideal home ol
loving hearts-a circle of deep and
beautiful affection, where, in the centre
dwelt, that dear, idolized mother and
father.

AT the first meeting of the two schools
on the basket ball -four, Leonard Hall
scored q decisive victory over its
athletic rivals-Charlotte Hall-by
the score of 80 to Is.
The Leonardtown lads jumped into
the lead at the start and were never
in danger of being headed at any stage
of the game. Their snappy teamwork
so bewildered their opponents that the
score at the end of the first half stood
at = to 2.
The Cadets, handicapped by the
sickness of one OF their stars, fought
gamely to the finish. Their best work
came ut the beginning of the second
period, when, by some good passing
and accurate shooting, Gagged six field
goals. Here the Leonard Hall quint
got together again, ending the rally
and added 10 points to the score.
Ford and b. Wills were the stars
for the winners, while Compton and

Weekly Cotton

NEW YORK, Dec. 3I.-The cotton
market was comparatively quiet be-
tween the holidays. After making new
nigh GROUND for the movement early
IN the week with May contracts SELL
Ing "a per bale above the low level
reached shortly after the publication
or Il governments crop estimate, the
market met considerable realizing
and more Southern selling. Reactions
were limited and there was sufficient
Investment buying on the setbacks to
promote a generally steady under
tone. although the demand from
houses with foreign connections was
less In evidence.
Some of the selling on the early
week advance seemed TO be promoted
by predictions that after the filling of
December engagements the spot de-
mand in the South would slacken and
the rather freer Southern selling YVES
taken by some as foreshadowing in
creased pressure from the huge avail
able supply. The failure of Southern
spot offerings to become heavy enough
to cause a sharp break In prices be-
fore Christmas, seemed to have made
an impression on sentiment and muci
talk around the ring reflected a more
optimistic view of prices. That ten
dency has been supported by reports
OF improving trade In the domestic
goods markets; expectations OF con-
unued interest on tho part OF export
crs. and Southern reports that much
cotton had been abandoned In the
fields owing to its low grade and the
unsatisfactory market.
It appeared also that the first dif-
ferences fixed between the government
grades as applied to deliveries on jan
uary. tended to emphasize the stricter
requirements OF the official grading
and promote confidence in the value of
the new style contract while It Is re-
ported that some of the consigned cot
ton reaching here recently was IN
clined In this weeks cleare nee of
about $500 bales for Bremen.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 31.,,h ME cot

prices of Lac: W ok. Early in the
week there v ID 4 rise on fresh buy
ing but later s''cre was a reaction un-
DIR liquidation and some little short
selling based on the idea that the ad-
vance had gone far enough for tho
time being.
The chief steadying influence was
the continued good demand for spots
In the interior and the firmness of
spot holders. Another buliish infiu-
ence was the report that American
mills were Booking heavy orders s:-
goods for s by the armies Of Eu-
rope. fs.es .itG
The New Year in the market will
open with the trade generally looking
for az Improvement. Next week II
win be difficult to hold prices down
IL there is no break In the spot de-
mand. and faYcsable reports come
from mill centers. 9r
Professional traders will watch In
yestrcsnGg buying carefully and IL It L.
ID sufficient volume to take rare of any
considerable portion of the crop the
long side will grow in popularity.
There is growing sentiment that the
lowest prices OF the SEASON already
have been seen but against this Is the
opinion OF another element that the
pressure Of the movement during the
first few months OF 1915 viii send
values to new low levels.
