Aged Episcopal Bishop
Died Tuesday Last

Rt. Rev. Sylvester Tuttle, presiding
bishop of his communion in this coun-
try died last Tuesday, aged Sc years.
He was the oldest active bishop in the
church, and no other man ever became
bishop at so early an age as he did
80 years. The Baltimore Sun says
editorially of him:
Bishop futile was made of the
physical stuff that lasts long and of
the mental and moral stuff that re-
mains sound to the end. In the fifty
five years Of his Episcopate he had
consecrated ninety-one bishops, but it
is safe to say that not one of them
surpassed him, even in his old age, in
the strong and steadfast qualities
which had attracted attention in his
youth. He was appropriately called
the Grand Old Man Of the Episcopal
Church," and he was one Of its eccle-
siastics whom all other ecclesiastics,
honored. As simple and unaffected in
character as he was luminous and
clear of mind, his church has lost in
him a great personal force and a
builder who has left behind great
record of solid achievement.

A Base Ball 7raUesty;
Pocomoke .Snowed Under

The base ball game between the Wi
comico High School, of Salisbury, and
Pocomoke High, was a sort of repeti-
ton of the first Parksley-Pocomoke
contest.
The home team was going well un-
til the sixth inning, the score at that
stage being A to 2 in their favor. At
that junction, Henderson, pitching for
the locals, passed two men in success
sion, complained Of sore arm and
walked out of the box. After that it
was a procession, Salisbury piling up
runs at will, and finally winning by
something like 20 to 4.
This of course, was not a county
championship contest, and perhaps
our finger did well to save his arm for
the battles that count. However, he
should not allow little thing like two
passes to get his nerve, and when the
county schools are met, he must learn
to fight always and fight hard.

THE ST. MARY'S GUILD 3.
HOLD PROFITABLE SUPPER

The supper given by the Ladies
Guild of St. Mary's P. E. Church, Po-
comoke City, was SO largely patroniz-
ed that the supper viands were ex-
hausted before every one was served.
The menu prepared for the evening
was so attractive for, the price, that
an unexpected number bought tickets,
and the ladies were compelled to close
the doors. The ladies are deeply
grateful for the support of the public,
and while we are not informed Of the
amount cleared, we are sure very
comfortable sum was realized.

Gas Price Low Here.

The price of gasoline is lower in
San Antonio than in any other place
in the United States, A. b. Slimp,
president of the Pioneer Oil & Refin-
ing Company, explained Friday noon
at the regular weekly luncheon meet
ing of the Conopus Club at the Men
ger. Mr.. Slimp further explained that
local gasoline prices were not due to
local producers but to jobbers who OBJ
tanned their raw products at price
that enabled them to cut the price of
&c ioline below the figure at which To-
ca refiners can produce it. If these
&C ditions continue, Mr.. Slimp said.
local refincries will have TO seek the
export market. Mr.. Slimp illustrated
the manufacture of gasoline by use of
a miniature refinery. Those present
were shown how the gasoline is re-
fined from the crude oil to the finished
product.
