A Happy, Prosperous New Year

January 1, marking the beginning of the year
1885, brings to mind that New Years Day has been
observed as a public holiday for many centuries,
certainly in Rome since the reformation of the cal
endar by julius Caesar in the century before Christ
Owing to the confusion in dates which has
suited from the mperfections Of various calendars
which caused skipping of dates at various times New
designation AS 1852 the adoption of the Gre
gorian calendar by England and the American col
onies caused a skip of II days
However, regardless of the day designated
New Years at various times and in various coun-
tries it has been generally observed as holiday.
The Romans celebrated it with professions,
abandonment of litigation and strife, exchanging of
visits and gifts feasting and merrymaking. Early
fathers of the Christian Church did not approve of
these festivities but recommended that the day he de-
voted to meditation, scripture reading and works of
charity.
But about the fourth century, when December
18th, had been agreed upon for the observation of
ChTist's BIRTH New Years day, falling week Ia.
er, began to assume sacred character the ami
versary of the circumcision, and such it still fig
ures in certain branches of the church.
The Jewish New Year falls upon September 18th,
and other religious faiths have their calendars
with distinctive holidays, festivals and customs in
which their New Years Day has a corresponding
significance to that of Christendom. The Chinese
have a custom of paying all debts their New
Years day, and to be good Chnaman they must
adhere to the custom
Among all it is considered an appropriate day for
reviewing the events of the previous year. the max
ing of resolutions and the adoption plans for
the future It is also the occasion the expression
OF good Wishes and in the spirit day the Her
aid force join in wishing you all Happy New Year
May it be joyous and prosperous 1885.

RISE IN STOCKS
SLOWED FOR
PROFITS
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan. % Q.N.S).
The stock market continued its
rise today, but at a slow pace
due to the heavy profit-taking
throughout the list.
Leadership again rotated from
group to group to keep the rise
going. The Steels and utilities
started off as pacemakers. Later
the liquors and merchandising
shares were pushed to the fore.
Oils Stimulated
The noon hour saw burst Of
buying in the largest oil shares.
A block of $4,000 shares in Socony
Vacuum was the feature. The
new order of Secretary of In
terror Ickes regarding the market
ing section of the code, which
was expected to end the gasoline
price war in the East, was the
stimulating influence.
Rails were sluggish through
out after setting the markets
pace last week. Decline in Ches-
apeake & Ohio'S loadings last
week was a restraining influence.
Losses were small, however, and
the group displayed support on
dips.
Steel Moves Forward
The rise in steel operations
for the week sent U. S. Steel,
common, to the highest level since
last summer and carried the
whole group forward.
Demand for utilities was linked
with expectation of continued
rise in power production in COM
parison with a year ago.
Motors were backward, reflect

DAIRY TRUCK DRIVER CRITIC
ALLY INJURED

Charles E. Beeby, aged % years,

big sanitary milk truck for the
Standard Diaries of Philadelphia,
met with serious accident on Tues
day morning, about 7:45 o'clock,
near Porters Bridge, and is living in
Union Hospital, Elkton, in a critical
condition.
The accident occurred on the hill,
just east of Porters Bridge, and was
caused by the driver of car, who in
addition to being on the wrong side
of the road, did not have the grace
to stop and render aid, but showed
his calbre by driving away,
1t was very foggy Tuesday morn
ing. Beerby was driving down HILL
and just as he rounded curve a
car doomed up, approaching on his
side of the road, Becky damned on
brakes and pulled his heavy tank
truck into the bank at the roadside.
The truck struck a small concrete
culvert abutment, and ran up the
steep embankment, throwing Beeby
out of the cab, his head striking the
concrete roadway with great force.
G. P. Connolly, of that neighbor-
hood, drove along just after the &C
cident, picked the unconscious man
up and brought him to Rising Sun.

Beeby taken Immediately to the

ambulance.
After reaching the hospital Beeby
regained consciousness. An exami-

skull.
The injured man stated he did
not see the license tag Of the car
that was the cause of the accident,
and as the machine disappeared in
the fog, without the driver stopping
to render aid of any sort, his identi-
ty is not known.

COLONIST LANDING
CONNIE MORATED
Fortv-Foot Cross Erected On
St. Clements Island
And Dedicated

Dedication of the 40-foot cross err
ected on Blackstone Island by the
MARYLAND Tercentenary Committee
in commemoration of the Harding OF
the Ark and Dove took place Palm
Sunday in the presence of high Of
ficials of the State, headed by GOV.
Richie, dignitaries of the Catholic
Church and a number of Federal Of
ficials.
March rs, which is Maryland Day,
came on Sunday, and by a strange
coincidence, it was on Sunday that
the Pilgrims landed at st. Marys, on
March 25, 1884.
The cross, which is constructed OF
concrete with a white marble finish,
has a 12-foot cross beam and can be
seen a distance of 10 miles.
To St. Clements Island, the birth
place in the nation of tolerance and
religious freedom, a little 43-acre
dot in the Potomac river nearly OPP
posite Wakefield, the birthplace OF
George Washington, and about fif-
teen miles from Point Lookout, the
heel of Maryland, there came to par
ticinate in the ceremonies 1000
Catholics, Protestants and Jews and
some who averred they had no re-
ligious beliefs, to participate in the
ceremonies.
The exercises were centered about
forty-foot concrete cross erected
by the Maryland Tercentenary Com
mission to commemorate the landing
and also to commemorate the origi-
nal cross, hewed from trees by the
colonists. Under that first cross
Father Andrew White, Jesuit, said
the first mass in Maryland on the
landing accumulation Day.
The commission, under whose
auspices the ceremonies were held,
selected Maryland Day, for the com
memoration, because it is the date
mentioned by Father White, the first
historian of the colony, as the day
on which the pilgrims landed from
two tiny vessels, the Ark and the
Dove, after they had made a dan
gerous passage across the Atlantic
from Cowes, England.
