Funeral of Mrs. John 3. Gray.

The funeral of Mrs. John 3. Gray,
whose death was announced in our last
issue, took place at St. Paul's E.oi8co-
pal Church, in this village at O'Clock
Saturday afternoon last. Rev. Thomas
B. A Allison, former rector of the
parish now OF Cockeysville, Baltimore
county, conducted the solemn service.
The large congregation that crowded
the sacred edifice evidenced the high
esteem in which the deceased was held
in this community, in fact in the county,
we might say, as every section of the
county was represented at the obsequies.
There were many beautiful floral tri-
butes, number of which were placed
with the casket and others placed on the
mound. The pail, bearers were Messrs,
William A. Dorsey. Benjamin Laveille,
Alexander Somervel, George D. Tur-
ner, Young D. Hance, Joseph w. Tai

A good many friends and neighbors
from Oxon Hill were right on hand to
help in any way they could which was
much appreciated.
Mrs. J. Benson Perry, of Westwood,
could not come but the check she sent
showed that she still rendered old

served and quite a nice sum raised
though at present it is not known ex-
actly how much.

Bishop Harding Favors Local Option

Nv dear Mr.. Curtis:

Rev. C. J. Curtis, Accokeek, Nd.
NY dear Mr. Curtis:
Replying to yours of the 18th instant,
| beg to say that it it perfectly true
that | wrote a letter in the interest of
temperance by local option when the
campaign was being carried on for that
great reform in St. Mary's County. |
wrote in the firm conviction that this
measure would be for the highest IN
terests Of the people of that part of the
State, and | feel exactly the same with
regard to Prince Georges County. TIE
attitude of Russia in the present terri
BILE war in prohibiting through that
whole great country the use of intoXi
eating liquor which had been democrat
izing the peasantry for many years,
and the wonderful increase in prosperity
and happiness which has come to the
people since that went into effect, is
an object lesson to all. The attitude
of railroads and big interests of all
kinds toward the liquor question is
illuminating. But when we know the
demoralizing effects in our rural com
munities, through the sale Of liquors,
surely every Christian man and woman
ought to welcome the opportunity to
restrict it. | hope therefore, that the
efforts of the friends of local option in
Prince Georges County, will meet with
entire succ IS.
With warm regards, believe me,
Faithfully yours,
ALFRED HARDING

Bulbs For Indoors

College Park, Md, Oct. 19.-Varieties
of bulbs for growing indoors are
recommended by B. w. Anspon, of the
State College of Agriculture. Prof.
Anspon says, every garden lover
should have few Of these bulbs in
bloom during the winter. These bulbs
are so easy to culture that with little
attention, everyone can have success.
Secure the bulbs now and plant them
in pots sufficiently large to accommo-
date them. They can be planted sing
ly or number in a pot, depending upon
the size of the bulbs. Do not push the
bulb into the pot or soil, in so doing,
the soil is compacted under the bulb
and as the young roots form, they
have a tendency, in such cases, to
force the bulb out of the pot. 1t is
best to partially fill the pot with soil
and then place the bulb on this and
fill in with more soil. Slightly firm
the soil over the bulb.
In hyacinths, the bulb should be
placed at least two inches from the
top of the pot. Tulips can be shall
lower. After the bulbs have been
potted, place them outdoors in a well
drained place; cover with a few
inches of sand, after first watering the
bufb and seeing that all pots are well
moistened Leave outdoors until the
root system is well gormed. This in
sures good flowers. 1t generally takes
from eight to 10 weeks for the bulb to
produce good root system outdoors.
Bulbs can then be brought indoors.
gradually given more light and high
er temperature. Where one does not
care to place the bulbs outdoors, they
can be kept in cool cellar until
thoroughly rooted, when they can be
gradually brought into the light.
An easy method of growing Hya-
cinths is to secure hyacinth glasses,
Fill the jar with water up to the shout
der and place the bulb in the jar. 1t is
well to add fresh water every 10 days
placing a piece of charcoal In the
glass will tend to keep the water
sweet Water should just touch the
edge of the bulb, as shown in illustra
ton Place in cool, dark place until
roots are we'll formed, when they car
be brought into the living room. In 8
I short time, flower buds will open UP
giving a grand display.
