The Board of Trustees wishes it to be
known
First: That, on behalf of the church,
it accepts most gladly these gifts and
contributions of our members and devot-

and it's friends are eager to make the
house or the Lord more attractive and
pleasant to worship in.
Second: That we accept these gifts
and contributions with our deepest and
most sincere appreciation. Some of these
gifts may have called for sacrifice on the

ness to you that nothing less than our
best wishes for you can pay. We shall
covet an opportunity to return the favors.

deeply the brotherly courtesy and thought
fulness of the pastor and church of the

wants, cordially invited US to their
church, while ours was undergoing re-
pairs, which we did. 1t is our desire to
extend to you, our faithful friends, SINH
lar or any courtesy that we may per-
chance have.

with peculiar regard and benignant feel
ing, our distant friends who have be-
friended us, such as Mrs. Drake, OF
Brooklyn. N. Y, and Mr.. George E. Sc

nearby friends as Mr.. C. c. Merritt and
all the others who have contributed any
thing whatsoever toward the achieve

Church Re-Opening, Havest
Home Services and Sunday
School Rally.
For once in a great while every church
in Thurmont was open for public wor
ship last Sunday. This does not occur
often from the fact that pastors of al
least three of the eight churches have
appointments at places out of town every
two weeks.
Sunday morning Mass was held at Mt
Carmel church at 9 o'clock; special SER
vices were held at the Methodist. Church
of the Brethren, Lutheran and Reformed
churches at 1890 a. M, and at the Meth,
odist, Church of the Brethren and Unit
ed Brethren churches during the after.
noon, and at various hours in the evening
services were held in the Lutheran, Re-
formed. Moravian, Episcopal and Meth
odist churches-14 services not including
Sunday School and Christian Endeavor
services.
The program for the Sunday School
Rally in Church of the Brethren was pub
lished last week. Many out of town
members of this church were present at
the Rally, and very interesting and in
structive service was rendered.
At the Lutheran and Reformed churches
Harvest Home services were held, va.
riety of the fruits of the season being
used in the churches for decoration pur-
poses.
After making extensive Improvements
the past month in and about the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. the edifice was re-
opened last Sunday for public worship.
The program arranged for the occasion
follows:
MORNING.
Devotional Service.
Prayer, by Rev. Richard G. koontz.
Special music by the choir.
Sermon by Rev. j. P. Wright.
Reception of new members.
The Sacrament of the Lords Supper.
Benediction.
AFTERNOON.
Devotional service.
Prayer, by W. c. Waltemyer.
Special Music by Thurmont Orchestra.
Sermon, by Rev. F. R. Bayley.
Presentation of Memorial Windows.
Benediction.
EVENING.
Devotional Services.
Prayer, by Rev. J. P. Wright.
Special Music by Thurmont Orchestra.
Sermon, by Rev. Richard g. Koontz.
Benediction.
Improvements amounted to nearly
81 900, or little more than 5000, inclusive
of the eleven new memorial windows.
Seven persons provided about half of this
amount while three of these seven per-
sons are not members of the church here.
Several individuals bought windows rang
ing in price from $26 to SOB. Five dozen
folding chairs were given by Mr.. George
E. Sebring, of Sebring, Ohio.
About 5000 were needed to clear up all
expenses of the improvements, and this
amount was provided Sunday by means
of cash or subscription. The church was
painted on the exterior, frescoed inside,
new chairs provided for the Sunday
School room, Bible for the pulpit, new
memorial windows, and few other minor
repairs were made, leaving no indebted
ness on the church at all.
Two persons were received into full
membership.
The town orchestra rendered splendid
music.
In presenting the windows and chairs
to the Board of Trustees of the church
in behalf of the donors, the pastor made
a short address that was responded to by
a paper read by Mr.. Charles R. Stocks
dale who represented the Board of
Trustees.

All who have seen Marie Doro, the en-

screen characterization in 1.-THE Morals
of Marcus'-and the presumption is
feasible that everyone has-will undoubt-
edly be delighted to know that the Fam
GUS Players Film Company has again
presented this gifted and beautiful act
ress in another Paramount Picture, 1.-THE

1.-THE White PEARL was especially
created for Miss Doro by Edith Barnard
Delano, author of the recent Pickford
triumph, Rags" and in it is included
every element of dramatic composition
that made 1.-THE Morals of Marcus the
great photo-production it was, with the
added value of pictorial and spectacular
effects absent from that production, made
possible through the occurrence of half
the action of the play in Japan and on
the high seas, where the drama reaches
its greatest climax.

Decisions in three important Kauai
sugar plantation tax appeal cases
have been rendered by the tax appeal
court of the fourth taxation division,

by Attorney-General l. NJ. Stainback.
The decisions are signed by Charles
S. Dele, E. H. w. Broadbent and j. H.

board .> -. -.
In the first decision, Gay & Rob
inson, the tax assessor is upheld, and
an assessed valuation OF 100000, his
figures, is placed on the plantations
holdings. The company contended its
IIghtful valuation to be only 100000.
In the appeal OF the Hawaiian Sugar
Company, the taxpayer is upheld. The
company's valuation Of $4,25O,0 900 is
sustained against the $4,500,000 claim.

McBryde Sugar Company's decision
IN way splits the difference" be.
tween the assessors and the com.

ton is determined as $2,500,0OO,
against the company's claim Of $4,000

MURDER Charge
AGAINST COMES

Prosecuting Attorney Charles F.
Chillingworth stated this morning that
the charge of first degree murder
against John Comes. said to have
been responsible for the death of his
wife in the insane asylum, will prob
ably be dismissed at the hearing, set
for Thursday, ON account OF DIR. l..

woman died from over-exhaustion, due
to insanity. 49,. -. -. ....... 49,
Several weeks ago Comes was found
guilty by Judge Monsarrat of assault
ing his wife Shortly afterwards Mrs.
Comes was taken to the insane asylum
in a demented condition. Soon after
she died and Comes was arrested on
an accusation of inflicting the blows
that finally resulted in her death.
According to DIR. Patterson, superin.
tendent of the asylum, the blows were
not responsible for the death, and
therein lay all the prosecutions al.

too, Mr.. Secretary, we are a full
Pledged territory, and no prece-
dents, as understand it, would
be broken. And In this particular
the naming of one of these yes
sells after our territory would be
recognition of what our people
have long strenuously contended
for, namely, that We are terri
tory and not possession.
May i be allowed for the mo-
ment to touch slightly on the
sentimental side of the question.
In 1898 Hawaii was annexed to
the United States, largely by rea-
son of its value from a naval
standpoint. Amongst the natives,
to whom the word Hawaii
meant everything, annexation was
not altogether popular, but as the
years have rolled by the Ameri-
can form of government has come
to be. more fully understood, the
Hawaiian people have come to
recognize that annexation is a
blessing and not a curse. That
recognition has borne fruit, for /
venture to say that nowhere on
Continental United States can be
found a people more loyal to the
government than are the Ha-
waiians. In the event of diff
Guilty there would be no laggards.
The naming of one of, our yes
sells after the islands they loved
would be treated by them as a
grateful recognition of their 10y
atty; would be boosted of by
them and always mentioned with
pride Perhaps, too, in this mat
ter Of sentiment the people of the
mainland might become better
educated as to Hawaii and show a
greater appreciation of our atti-
tude than their present limited
knowledge affords us
This letter Is written by me
without consultation with any of
the officials of Hawaii, or with
the delegate to Congress, and as
is set forth above. dictated by my
love for Hawaii and what appears
to me to be sound considerations.
! have no doubt, however, that the
delegate in Congress, and every
official of the territory, will join
heartily in the suggestion.
Trusting that what have said
will receive due consideration and
that the name Hawaii" will prob
ably be borne by one of the ships
under construction, l am,
IT,. Very respectfully yours,

fort last year il was found its concus-
sion had shattered the vertical wire
In its telescope sights.
New wires were quickly placed In
the guns sights, but after another
shot they, also, were found shattered,
so the gun could not be used. The
shells which we're to have been fired
by the new gun, No. ], were transfer
red to the other 14-inch gun, No. 2,
and practise completed.
A .,jinx" seems to be following the
new gun. because II is the same wea-

during proving practise at the Sandy

testing before shipment to Honolulu.
The accident at that time resulted in
fatal injury OF several of the gun

Mechanically the new gun worked
today in a perfectly satisfactory man

Il was put out Of commission for the
day. According te officers of Fort

could happen 10 any gun at any time,
and does not Indicate any defect in
the huge weapon. De Russy has no
