PIG CHASE IN CHURCH

Baltimore, March 19.-Twenty pigs
broke away from a herd belonging
to Ludwig Sellmeye- that were being
unloaded here today, and stampeded
through the streets of East Baltimore
One big boar. pursued by a score OF
men and boys, charged through the
open door of the Sacred Heart Cath
olic Church, where Father Kessler
was conducting services. 1t happened
that one of Sellmeyer's employees
was attending the services, and, just
as the porker was diving under the
altar rail, the man made a wild dive
for it. catching it by hind leg. How
ever. the pig was too slippery for him,
and soon escaped, grunting behind the
altar. Services were broken up and
the congregation joined the hunt.
Another employee of Sellmeyer ar
rived with a hunting dog trained to
catch pigs by the ear, but the priest
refused to allow the dog to enter the
building. Finally, the pig was captur-
ed and services resumed.

BOB.WHITE QUAIL ARRIVE.

400 Mexican Bob-White Quail reach
ed Westminster, Monday morning.
The men on the various committees
throughout the county were notified
and nearly all these birds were liber-
ated the same day. The birds were
only five days coming here from Tex
as and arrived one day sooner than
expected. 1t is rather unfortunate
that it was necessary to put them out
during the cold weather as some OF
hem NAV not live, for they came from
warm climate. Lets hope that we
will soon have some real spring
weather.
These birds are supposed to be the
same as our native birds, except that
coming from a different climate, they
are a little lighter in color and small
er. 1t was demonstrated at the game
farm last year that they will mate
with our native birds as the writer
saw a motion picture showing the
nest, eggs and birds and Mr.. LeCom-
pte. the State Game Warden, stated
that this fact was satisfactorily prov
en- at their farm.

RECITAL AT ST. JOHNS.

The uuartette from St. Patrick's
Choir, Washington, D. c., rendered
the following program at the recital
in ST. Johns Church last Tuesday
evening:
THE Seven Last Words" of Dubois.
1st. word: Father forgive them,
for they know not what they do"
End word: Amen, say to thee,
this day thou shalt be with Me in
Paradise"
srd word: Woman, behold thy
Son."
4th word: 81 thirst"
5th word: MY God, My God, why
hast Thou forsaken Me-"

eth word: Father into Thy hands,
l commend my spirit"
The soloists were: soprano, Edna
Hillyard Howard, contralto, Carolyn
Manning. tenor, Charles Myers, Basso
James Nolan. Accompanist, Jennie
Glennon.
The modern religious composition
of the French musician Dubois is a
we'll known work in larger musical

smaller communities have chance
to hear it: this is so not because OF
lack of appreciation. for the congre-
cation on Tuesday night proved that
there is a large number of real music
lovers in Westminster, but because ii
is not often that suitable voices can
be brought together to render this
difficult masterpiece.
One worthy critic said that DUBOIS
himself would have been satisfied
with the rendition of his work on
Tuesday night.
The music was enhanced by the in
Temptations of Rev. ]. n. McMamara
of Washington who spoke briefly but
effectively bringing out the religious
setting of the sacred words as they
were rendered.
Benediction followed the musical.

BLUE RIDGE DEBATERS
WIN
FROM WASHINGTON C0LLEGE-NEW
WINDSOR ORATORS TAKE FIRST De-
BATE OF THE SEASON BY UNARI-
NOUS DECISION.

In its first debate of the season
Blue Ridge College sent Washington
down to defeat Friday night. The
subject discussed was, Should the
principle of the open shop be adopted
by the industries of the United
States?" The affirmative was upheld
for Washington by Messrs. Conrad NJ
Wingate. Ernest j. Langham and Gil
bert V. Byron. Blue Ridge was repre-
sented on the negative by Messrs
Miles Murphy, Mckinley Coffman and
Norman Wilson. Although the Wash
ington debaters showed evidence of
much preparation and performed in
such a manner as to reflect much
credit on their school, they were
thoroughly outclassed both in matter
and delivery by the Blue Ridge ora
tors. and the subsequent unanimous
decision was no surprise to the large
audience present. The judges for the
debate were Hon. J. Lloyd Harshman,
one of the leaders of the Hagerstown
bar. and Prof. A. E. Woodhead and DR..
r. N. Edwards, two prominent citi-
zens of Westminster.
The next debate will be held at
New Windsor on April when Blue
Ridge encounters Colby College, Wat
erville Maine. Colby will defend the
of the question, 'The princi-
pie of the closed shop is justifiable." :"
This debate should draw a feature
crowd, as Colby is one of the oldest OF
the New England colleges, and has
an enviable record in debating her
closest rival for debate being Bates
University which last year defeated
both Harvard and Yale. Colby is max
ing a debating tour through the coun-
try and will meet at least six large
colleges before arriving in New Wind
sor. The Blue Ridge team will spare
no efforts in preparing for what will
be the biggest intercollegiate debate
ever held in Maryland.

MIR, YELLOTT KILLED By AUTO
CRASH

Osborne 1. Yellott. former, peoples
counsel to the Public Service Commis-
sion and State Employment Commits
sioner and one of Maryland's best
known lawyers, was instantly killed
early Sunday morning when his au-
tomobile coliided with passenger
safety platform at North avenue and
Charles street, Baltimore. The force
of the collision was so great that the
heavy wooden structure was upended
and one of the iron supports was driv-
en- into Yellotts left side. His body
was driven back through the rear of
the machine, where it dropped to the
street. The automobile drove on,
tearing much of the iron support in
its flight. Yellott probably never knew
what struck him. By the time the few
persons who saw the crash reached
his side he was dead.
Yellott was returning home in his
high powered machine, at a rapid
speed. and the crash could be heard
for blocks.
Less than two years ago Yellott
was appointed State Employment
Commissioner because of his intimate
knowledge of civil service work and
needs.
His funeral was held Tuesday after
noon. Surveyor of Port Guy w. Steele
was a pallbearer.
