fifty years, toiled Incessantly until his

every effort to lead the church forward in
every good work. The people have respond
ed with marked and generous approval, con
sequently the growth has been most grat
ifying. The Sunday school now has enroll
ed more than 8X0 scholars.
i'o meet a growing need the church added
two galleries 'ast fall, and also put in eight
new windows, in addition to frescoing the
entire front. Including banquet hall, Sunday
school roonrs anil main auditorium. The
ambition of the church Is to minister to the
needs of the people In every possible way

MARYLAND ROAD TO CAPITAL.
Legislature Gave $90,000 for Boule
vard to This City.
The passage and signing by Gov. W&rfleld
at Annapolis of Dr. Hill's bill providing for
the construction of a modern highway from
Haltlmore to this city will doubtless mark
the advent of a new era In the history of
the two cities. The bill provides for an
appropriation of $90,000 for the construction
of this highway. $30,000 to be available each
year for three consecutive years.
The road will be built under the direct
supervision of the state commission on
highways, which Is composed of Gov. War
field, Comptroller Atkinson, Dr. Ira P.em
sen, president of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, and Dr. R. W. Sylvester, president
of the Maryland Agricultural College. Dr.
William Bullock Clark, superintendent of ,
the Maryland Geological Survey, assisted i
by W. W. Crosby, chief highway engineer,
will personally look after the construction
of the highway.
As soon as It was announced that the
governor had signed the bill, steps were
taken by Dr. Clark and Mr. Crosby to be
gin the work of Inspecting the prospective
route and arranging for a corps of sur
veyors to begin an outline of the plans as
soon as possible. Mr. Crosby will within a
few days go oyer the entire route and de
termine. as well as possible, a course for
the surveyors. As soon as the route is de
termined upon, the plans will be submitted
to the state commission for approval and
specifications will be drawn. Owing to the
preliminary steps necessary before the ac
tual work of construction can be begun, It
Is probable that the boulevard will not be
completed for several years.
Wherever feasible, according to the ap
propriation bill, the commission may follow
the route of the old Baltimore and Wash
ington road and, when practicable, use the
old roadbed. Wherever necessary, the priv
ilege of deviating from the old course to
straighten the route or escape grades or
railroads has been granted. It is also stated
specifically f' at the road must be not lcs3
than .SO an.! not more than 00 feet wide at
any point &:?d, in case the course of the sur
veyors may pass through a town or village
where the main street does not permit of
that width. It will be necessary to open a
new route around the place.
?Hiat tlie new road will be made of mac
adam lias practically been decided, though
the results of the Investigation by the sur
veyors will be laid before the commission
before any steps are taken toward prepar
ing for the construction.
The boulevard will pass through Balti
more, Howard and Prince George coun
ties and will be known as State Road No. 1.

NATIONAL JUNIOR REPUBLIC.
April Xeeting of Woman's League
Held at Arlington Hotel.
The April meeting of the Woman's League
of the National Junior Republic was held at
the Arlington Hotel Friday, with Mrs.
Charles W. Fairbanks In the chair. It was
voted that hereafter the monthly meetings
of the league will be held the second Fri
days instead of the tlrst Saturdays, as here
tofore. Mrs. C. 1). Merwyn made a report
as chairman of the ball committee and was
tendered a rts'ng vote of thanks for the
arduous work she had performed In making
the ball such a gratifying success. The net
receipts of the ball will be near *600, about
$550 having been turned into the league
treasury, and some tickets have not yet
been settled for.
Resolutions of thanks were unanimously
voted to a number of persons for valuable
help which contributed to the success ot
the ball. Thanks -were also voted to the
president ot tne league, Mrs- Fairbanks, for
her assistance in the league's work for the
Ave ysare ot fts ea'stenee awl neatly at the
ball. Mrs. Fairbanks lp tuw thanked the
directors, who had been so kind and help
ful to Mr, and who, she said, bs4 flwW
[ There "was* no higher wortT than that Mr
| the young, she said, sad she hoped that
' while the members continued to do all they
! could for the future ettisens of the great
republic, we would mm be aMe ?? remain
ber the homeless girls and devise some way
to better their condition.
Mrs. Sanders Johnston reported her vls'.t
to the Junior Republic at xt?e time of trie
recent meeting of tlie bo'rd or trustees.
Many of the graduates of the republic liave
t>een paid the money which was due them
when they left the Institution and are doing
well in the different vocations they have
chosen. The young citizens are paid for
their labor In the coin of the republic, and
when they graduate, this money, which
they have been able to save, is redeemed,
dollar for dollar, in United States currency.
This method encourages thrift, and the
worthy citizen who leaves the republic will
not go out empty handed. It has been a
source of regret that when some of the
boys have gone out there were not the
funds necessary to redeem the'r coin saved,
and the Institution has been in debt to
them.
It. was reported that Mrs. Johnston, at the
Loan arid Trust building, has for distribu
tion a number of beautifully printed
pamphlets Illustrating the Junior lfU-publto
with tine halftone pictures which wl.l an
swer many of the questions daily neked
about the work there. A statistical leaflet
accompanies the pamphlet, whtc.i shows tn?
capacity of the institution, the cost of
maintenance and the different organizations
contributing thereto.
Among those present at the meeting of
the league were Mrs. Fairbanks. Mrs. M. S.
Lockwood. Mrs. Carman, Mrs. Merwin, Mra,
McLaughlin, Mrs. Stephens, Mrs. McNabb,
Mrs. Masehmeyer, Mrs. Ramsay. Mrs.
Hare, Mrs. Sperry, Mrs. McLean and Mrs.
Johnston.
