Here Are Some Excellent Road Sugges tions.—“ Observer” writes as follows to the Baltimore Sun: “It has been stated on good authority that only about 40 miles of new road could be constructed in Baltimore county with its share of the State loan, and as 18,000 a mile would be the cost of building such an amount of new road it would indicate $320,000 as Bal timore county’s share of the loan. It bßs also been stated that one new road of 40 miles’ length would be built with tbe county’s share of the loan. If this were done only a small part of the county people would be benefited, no matter where this road were constructed, as it would be out of reach of the majority of them. “Would it not be a better plan forthe proper authorities to condemn about 150 miles of the turnpikes within the county running into Bal timore, paying the stockholders a fair price for their stock, as the latter might appear to be worth from the dividends 7 Some of the roads pay no dividends, hence their stock is of no value. Allowing about $30,000 for condemna tion award there would be $290,000 available for repairs to the 150 miles of turnpike, and as these roads already have rights of way, bridges, grades and foundations about $2,000 a mile would put them in order. Baltimore then using its allotment of $1,000,000, or as much of it as might be needed, to repair the portions of turnpikes within the city limits, 150 miles or more of good roads would be provided for tbe city and county, to say nothing of the relief from tolls. This could be done with little de lay, the city and county getting immediate benefit from the loan leaving the Roads Com missioners to pursue at their leisure work in other parts of the State. “By this plan nearly four times as many good roads would be provided as by tbe single new road of 40 miles. With the high way now building between Baltimore and Washington an assured fact, and repairs as above described to roads entering Baltimore, it and Baltimore county will be well satisfied on the good roads question for some time to come. “As Baltimore is the largest city of Maryland, and the parts of the county adjacent are thickly populated, I can hardly see bow the county’s share of tbe loan can be used to greater advantage.” Marriage Licenses.—During the month of May Mr. William P. Cole, Clerk of the Circuit Court, issued marriage licenses to the following persons: WHITE. Joseph Clarkson to Agnes K. Mann. Walter S. Baker to Lillie K. Robinson. Charles Crusse to Catharine Lynch.

Ewing, in Green Spring Val ley. There will be five races in all. Arrange ments have been made with a prominent ca terer to serve luncheon during and after the racing. Much interest is being taken by society at large in the meet. t Harrlsonville, 2d District: —While sadly f admitting a moet deplorable dearth of June I brides and fair girl graduates, this district is still able to vie with any in tbe county in tbe ; number of strawberry festivals and Children’s i ! day services, which crowd week-day and Sun , day with interest. i i On Sunday last, at 11 o’clock am., Chil -1 dren’s day was celebrated in Mount Paran Pres - j byterian Church, at Harrisonville, with an ap propriate program well rendered. Addresses were made by the pastor. Rev. H. H. Henry, who also gave an object lesson, and Rev. Ed ward A. O’Dell, who spoke on the subject of Porto Rican missions. Miss Mary Fite pre sided at the organ, and a special musical fea ture was a cornet solo exquisitely rendered by Miss Elsie V. V. Henry. Miss Henry, who is i a musician of much talent, is a pupil of the > famous Park sisters. Tbe floral decorations were very fine, the pulpit being banked with i cut flowers, while the organ was wreathed in the same blossoms. The children, who had been trained by Miss Marion Crooks, reflected credit on their preceptress. On Sunday morning next the little ones con stituting Ward’s Methodist Episcopal Sunday school will hold Children’s day services and an elaborate program is now in preparation. Rehearsals are also in progress for the Bame purpose in Mount Olive M. E. Sunday school, Granite Presbyterian (which will celebrate Children’s day on Sunday evening next,) and First Presbyterian Church, Randallstown. Mount Olive and First Church, we believe, will hold their services on the morning and evening, respectively, of June 14th. So much for Children’s day! Strawberry festivals and lawn fetes may now be taken up as space fillers, but if the worthy editors ana readers of Thk Union think that the correspondent is about to enumerate all of these affairs in this district we wish to allay their fears, or blast their hopes (as the case may be) at once. All that is necessary Is to say that Holy Family R. C., Ward’s M. E. and Mount Olive M. E. churches have bad their innings and nobly depleted tbe purses of a suffering public, and that nearly, if not quite, every re ligious, fraternal and educational organization in tbe district is lying in wait and making ac tive preparations to capture any stray dollar that has escaped the three above mentioned. The pupils of North Branch public school hold a festival for the benefit of the library fund on Friday next and have carefully notified us twice, so due regard for our own future peace and happiness forces special mention of this fete. Messrs. William Robosson,of Randallstown, Robert Sellman, of Holbrook, and a colored man who was working with them in a field on the farm of Mr. B. John Black, of Randalls town, are congratulating themselves on a nar row escape from instant death on Thursday afternoon of last week when a bolt of light ning struck a wire fence, 20 feet away, shatter ing several posts, causing the horses Mr. Ro bosson was driving to run away, knocking a pipe out of Mr. Sellman’s mouth and a hoe from his hand and stunning all tbe men. None of them suffered any bad effect afterward, however. Farmers of this section are busy plowing corn and potatoes and truckers and marketmen are in the rush of the cherry and berry season. Though we had so much rain in May the ground is now parched and bard and rain is much needed for growing crops. Mr. Charles Jones, a painter of Harrisonville, has painted a most artistic advertising poster announcing that a strawberry and ice cream festival will be held in Rehmejer’s Grove, Harrisonville, on Wednesday, June 10th, for the benefit of Oriental Branch, Lincoln Coun cil, No. 160, Jr. O. U. A. M., of Randallstown. The poster is of muslin, 10 feet long by 3 feet wide. The lettering is in old English, in pur ple and gold. A large portrait of the fraterni ty goat—a most venerable looking animal graces one corner, while a Government mule piously reposes in another. The poster is dis { flayed on tbe edge of the grove and is an ob ect of much interest and amusement to trav elers on the Liberty pike. Mr. Joseph Black, one of the most widely known farmers of this district, is lying very ill with a complication of heart and stomach trouble at his home at Randallstown. A six-year-old youngster, residing in the 2d district, is beginning to brush up on matters grammatical and, incidentally, be likes to brush his elders. A few days ago an adult male relative used the expression “ain’t,” in his hearing. “Ain’t,” said the little chap. “Ain’t. You mustn’t say ‘yon ain’t;’ you must say‘you isn’t.’” Fact. M. Jacksonville and Sunnybrook, 10th Dis trict.—The graves in the cemetery at Chestnut Grove Church were strewn with flowers on Saturday last—Decoration Day. Flags were also placed on the graves of soldiers buried there. Mr. Theodore Treut sustained an injury to one of his arms last week in endeavoring to check a horse that was frightened and started to ruu away. Mr. Treut is telegraph operator at Sunnybrook. As already announced in The Union, fine racing may be expected at Manor Glen track on Saturday, June 6th, and should the pleas ant weather we are now experiencing continue there will doubtless be a large crowd to witness the exciting sport. The track is in fine confli- | 11 'j ‘ f97*ci forthe accommodation of those especially com ing from a distance. The ladies of Chestnut Grove Church will hold their annual strawberry festival in Sweet Air Hall, Thursday and Friday evenings, June 11th and 12th. The door will open at 7.30 o'clock each evening. Plenty of ice-cream and delicious strawberries will be on sale and prettily arranged tables for candy and cake. Everybody cordially invited, and with favora ble weather a successful festival is anticipated. Mr. Walter Burk, near Sweet Air, is build ing a large barn on his property, the present one being inadequate to accommodate his stock and crops. The Sunday school of Fairview M. E. Church South will hold its annual Children’s day service on Sunday afternoon, June 7th, at 3 o’clock. The children have been carefully trained and this service is always well attended. Rev. H. C. Febrey, the pastor, will make a special address to the children. The church is being beautifully decorated for the occasion. The cool weather of this week has been ap preciated, especially by pleasure-seekers, but should it continue it will be very injurious to the corn recently planted. Miss Ray Brown conducted tbe Christian Endeavor meeting at Chestnut Grove Church last Sunday evening. A large number was present. Rev. H. M. Price, of Ashland, preached to a large congregation at this church last Sunday morning. The Sunday school of Chestnut Grove Church is preparing for its annual Children’s day service, which will take place Sunday morn ing, June 14th. The school has been largely attended and should the weather prove at all favorable the coming annual celebration will be greatly enjoyed by the many who doubtless will attend. Mr. John Price is having his house painted. Mr. Lewis Burk isdoiog the work. Mrs. Maier. near Sweet Air, is visiting in tbe city. Sbe bas been in poor health and I am glad to report her rest and recreation have benefited her. Mrs. Samuel G. Wilson, of Towson, who bad been visiting relatives near Sweet Air, has returned home. Mr. Gilbert Ensor, who had been very sick at his home, is able to be out. Dr. Clifton Ensor was his attending physician. Miss Ethel Baker, ofHarford county, is vis iting her sister, Mrs. William Durham. M. Fork, 11th District —On Tuesday night a negro broke into Baldwin Station, Md. & Pa.

Peck, tbe station agent; also a suit of clothes of Mr. Baldwin and 75 pennies of the R. R. Wednes day morning when Mr. Peck opened up begot busy over tbe wire and the Baltimore police soon bad the thief. They found him on Har rison street where he wasdisposing of the goods. He is in jail. The Dampman farm of 28 acres on tbe road from Fork to Baldwin, bas been sold by Mr. John Arthur for $2,500 to Miss Helena M. Day, of Baltimore. Improvements will be made, it is stated, costing several thousand dollars, and tbe new owner will make it her residence. At the recent concert and literary entertain ment held at Shirley Hall, under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid Society of Fork M. E. Church, about $35 was cleared. The program was pronounced very fine and the financial success was due to the wide publicity through The Union and the posters and tickets printed at that office. Children’s day, June 14th, at Fork M. E. Church, at 3 p. m., will be a fine musical treat as special pains is being takeD to make it the best yet held there. Rev. M. L. Beall preached an able sermon to the Jr. O.U. A. M.at Fork Church last Sunday.

AlbertE.BeveridgeonSaturday afternoon last, i before an audience that filled the Lyric, was much enjoyed by those who heard it. His comparison of human slavery with child labot was well put. He said "the nations put down the traffic in human flesh and the nations would put down the making of degenerates, mentally and physically, by child labor.” On Sunday afternoon the consecration of the new bishops, according to the ritual of the M. E. Church, was a beautiful and impressive ceremony that gave eight new, untried men episcopal power and changed the current of their lives and was doubtless an hour in their experience fraught with a solemn sense of tbe new responsibilities they were assuming. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Zinkand lost their infant daughter on Sunday last. Interment in Monkton M. E. Cemetery on Monday.

The Junior Gunpowder Agricultural Club.—Following is the report of Messrs. Calvin S. Price, Daniel 8. Pearce and T. P. W. France, who composed the inspection commit tee at the meeting of the club at the farm of Mr. GeorgeE. Shelley, My Lady’s Manor: “Oar attention was first called to a two-acre lot of alfalfa which was seeded in the fall and which will give a good yield. It was seen that the part of the lot that was sowed with inocnla ted seed did not show as well as that which had soil bacteria applied. The grass sets of clover and timothy, viewed from a distance, are en couraging. "The wheat stands thick and is promising. Somegood hay in a barrack means a surplus for the farm and can be sold at any time to add to the balance in bank. A colt in the meadow makes a good appearance, and the 22 cows were admirea for their make-up and milk product, it being as much as 50 gallons daily. The milk and cream are managed with a cooler and are of the best marketable value. The convenient ice room proves the good judg ment exercised for the preservation ofthemilk. The corn in the crib is sufficient for the needs of the farm and is of good quality. The five pigs and five shoats, also the working stock, are doing well aud prove thoughtful attention. Our host and his son are co-operating success fully, judging from results of their labors, in farming and adding improvements.’’ THE HALF HOUE FOE QUESTIONS. As to the black ends of corn showing imper fect seed, Mr. Granville Matthews showed the testing of four grains—two with black ends and with good ends. All of thegtainaeprouted Senior Club, had tested and reported recently. When it was said the black end grains would not develop the best corn Mr. Matthews was requested to plant all of the sprouted grains so as to prove whether the black end sprouts would produce good ears of corn. As to the growth of alfalfa Mr. T. V. Rich ardson said his is a good height but no blossoms have been seen. The blossoms indicate when it should be cut. Dr. D. 8. Pearce has noticed that where he had cut some alfalfa it failed to sprout and to do well afterwards. It was said care should be exercised in cutting it and not to do so until the sprout shows at the surface of the root. His five acres of new cut shows very favorably. It was thought much is due to the climate for successful growing of alfalfa, and our climate is not just right for best results. It is acknowledged to bea valuablegrass to add fertility and feed. Mr. Richardson is plowing down crimson clover for corn and finds the plant is full of nodules which carry the bac teria for soil improvement. Respecting the operation of a manure spread er and the difficulty on ascending a hill when it is in gear, it was said even the smallest spreaders cause a heavy draft and good judg ment should be exercised on getting to elevated points. The features of the Hew Idea machine were discussed and the knowledge of working all spreaders for best results. The value of spreaders on the farm was estimated very highly because of labor saving, better work, and the benefit to the ground because of better spreading. As to the cost of producing an acre of corn, wheat, oats, &c., the United States Agricultural Department has been getting some statistics. The club did not fully decide as to the cost of the several crops, but reference was to the figures given by Mr. John Crowtber and Mr. J. 8. Orowther, of the Senior Club, who some time ago figured accurately as to their opinions. They reckoned as to the loss of fertility on growing the crops, but expression was that the fertility, added by the use of manures and commercial fertilizers about met the loss of H. Tarbert thought well of the club members going to see the manufacture of commercial fertilizers, so as to inform them selves of the ingredients used and how the mix ing is carried on. As to replanting or transplanting of corn, it was said the small corn with the top pinched off when transplanted will grow and is better than replanting. With the top off it will start well, but if the top is left on it it will fail. Some expression was to the desire of city people seeking farms or suburban homes, in dicating the interest in country life and the getting away from the bustle and noise. This should impress the farmers to be more appre -1 ciative of their homes and to make them the best places of life. i • Work of the Orphans’ Court.—ln the Bal timore County Orphans’ Court this week let s ters were granted on the following estates: 1 On the personal estate of Jacob Unverzagt to i Charles H.

Francis K. - Carey and Telfair W. Marriott, trustees to sell . the property mentioned in the case of the Ro land Park Company against Telfair W. Mar l riott and others. It consists of 71 acres and is i bounded on the east by Roland avenue, on the s west by the Maryland and Pennsylvania Rail road and on the south by Belvidere avenue. The Roland Park Company owns a two-thirds f interest and Messrs. Marriott, Frank 8. Ham - bleton and John J. Kelley each own a one -1 ninth interest. The trustees are required to 1 file a bond for SIOO,OOO, indicating that the • property is valued at about $50,000. It has • been the subject of litigation for several years, 1 the Roland Park Company wishing to have it > sold and the other owners claiming that it • could be divided in kindj . More men work for the United States Steel s Company than for the United States Govern- ment. No wonder the Steel Trust is so hard to regulate. A STRAWBERRY "CHRISTENING.” The "Fendall” la Formally Introduced to Distinguished Visitors from Washing ton and Other Friends and Well- Wishers—What Some of Them Had to Say. Upon the invitation of Mr. Charles E. Fen dall, Col. G. B. Brackett, chief of the Plant Division of the Agricultural Department, Washington, D. C.; his first assistant, Prof. W. H. Ragan, and Prof. C. P. Close, of the Maryland Experimental Station, College Park, came to Towson on Saturday last to see Mr. Fendall’s strawberries and to learn some thing abont the prodnetion of the wonderful plant called the “Fendall” that is just now in full fruitage and bearing so wonderfully of the large and beautiful berries. The visitors were met at Mr. Fendall’a resi dence by several residents of the town and after a half hour’s restand pleasant conversation the company repaired to the strawberry patches and there met a delightful sight that few of them were prepared to see. They saw the “Fen dall” berry in all its lnciousness and glory and many were the compliments showered upon Mr. Fendall for what he had been able to pro duce by bis own unaided efforts. The visitors from Washington were especially enthusiastic and spoke in unstinted praise of the host’s achievements in the way of strawberry production. After the interchange of many views on fruit culture generally and other subjects of interest the company repaired to the Smedley House to enjoy Mr. Fendall’s hospitality in the way of a bountiful luncheon prepared in Landlord Tracey’s best style. At the hotel more of Mr. Fendall’B invited guests were met and after some time spent in introductions and social chat the large dining-room was thrown open and for two hours the abundance of good things for the inner man, as well as many other good things, were discussed and Mr. Fendall was highly complimented by the distinguished visitors and others for what he had accom plished in the production of his strawberry, large dishes of which graced the table, only to be disposed of by the guests when the proper time arrived. Chief Judge Burke occupied the head of the table and discharged the duties of toastmaster most acceptably. He said that Mr. Fendall had won fame in Baltimore county by his suc cessful efforts as a horticulturist. Col. Brac kett, Prof. Ragan and Prof. Close also made remarks in which they paid high tribnte to Mr. Fendall’s strawberry, in regard to size, flavor and productiveness. Col. Brackett said his efforts were being watched with much in terest by the Agricultural Department, as Mr. Fendall is demonstrating the possibilities of strawberry culture. Others who spoke were Judge Duncan, A. A. Piper, W. Gill Smith, William Grason and Thomas J. Lea. Upon the wholeit was a most enjoyable occasion and will always be remem bered with pleasure by the participants. The others present and not named above were Messrs. Samuel K. Fendall, John C. Per kins, George T. Dorritt, W. George Marley, William P. Cole, J. F. Cowan, William S. Fen dall, HeDry Bach, Jr., Walter A. Poole, J. B. Perkins, Ernest C. Hatch, Harold Scarborough and H. C. Longnecker. Incidentally it may be remarked that later, when Col. Brackett took his departure for Washington, he carried with him a heaping _ box of "Fendall” strawberries and there were' only nine of them in the lot. The Colonel picked these himself. WHAT COL. BRACKETT SAID. I came here for the purpose of learningsome thing about strawberry-growing and I have not been disappointed. I have known of Mr. Fendall a short time, through correspondence, and I took It into my head a few days ago to see his strawberries and find out how be produces such berries. Last night about 12.301 received a let ter from Mr. Fendall wanting me to be sure to be here today, sick or not, so I am here, rather under the weather but not dissappointed, and t assure you it gives me a great deal of pleasure to meet you here and have the opportunity of seeing what I have seen—strawberries in this favored locality and especially under the direc tion of Mr. Fendall. There is no question but that Mr. Fendall made a mistake, as if he had taken up this instead of law, some years ago, he would have made a great success. He has dem onstrated what can be done in strawberry-grow ing and here is an opportunity, I am sure, for Mr. Fendall. to demonstrate to the world what can be done in originating new varieties. I am greatly surprised to find this beautiful locality, which I have never had the privilege of seeing before. It surpasses anything I had any idea of. lam gratified to meet you here today and test the fruit which we have here before us and I shall go back to Washington with pleasant recollections of this occasion. PROF. W. H. RAGAN. Having been in the strawberry business for half a century and almost the other half, I can say I have never seen a finer display than I see here in the Fendall strawberry. It expresses all I anticipated and more. It is not only an ex ceedingly prolific berry but it has every evidence of good, strong constitutional vigor. The plant is one of the first things I take notice of in the strawberry and this plant is faultless, as far as I can judge from what I have seen. The fruit is, I was also tempted to say, faultless. It is about as near perfect as things get in this world. Strawberries are hard to beat anyhow andjwhen you get such vigor and such quality they are . More than hard to beat. ! ■ T> Gi. rrnvh ir titti hii -kr>. ir tHi. ug tfiicf"pt lur* rtn.Tiixr j/minchcn/ir*“ iwc of varieties of fruits of all kinds that are rank ing as successful in the various sections of the country and among all there are none that mul tiplied so rapidly as the strawberry. Interest in the strawberry is now very great and, as far as I have gone in the work referred to, I had about concluded that the Dunlap was the one that had received the highest number of recommendations from a large area of terri tory. Of course, the Fendall has not been men tioned because it has not been disseminated, but I think it ought to have a place as being a most promising berry. prof. c. P. CI.OSE. One especially nice feature about this gather ing is that a man does not have to say much— the berries speak for themselves and give more praise than could possibly be given in words. I came to Maryland only a year ago last Jan uary but I am certainly pleased with the beau tiful country you have here. In the various parts of the State I am surprised at the beauty of the scenery and you have as beautiful a place as I have seen after traveling quite a good deal through the State. I am glad to add one more pleasant and valuable experience to those that have passed in the last year and a-half. I don’t think it is at all necessary for me to try to add words of praise to wbat Col. Brackett and Prof. Ragan have said. I heartily concur in what they say in regard to this berry ; it is certainly most promising and if it proves to be a good shipper it has a bright it. An event like this is a grand one. If you are not encouraged to grow you are encouraged to consume. I am glad of this opportunity of be ing with you and would be pleased to see all of you at the Experimental Station of the College, should you find it convenient to visit us.
