IbinMr Pipe Creek Hems. We understand a petition to the members of the Senate and House of Delegates is being circulated in this vicinity, and for aught wo know it ia being handed around in all the school districts of the county. The object of the petition above referred to is the abolition of the book-fee system in the state of Mary land, and to make the schools free uchovU i, that ail who will may come without money and without price. But let us examine this matter financially, and see if such an act would he justifiable. The teacher of the school at this place informs us that he will collect slt> book rent this term, and that the $lO is paid by fifteen patrons, eight of whom pay no tax to the county or state. Abolish the book rent system and the seven must pay the tax for the entire fifteen. Again, he says that his salary is $‘.K) per term, and we find that the book rent, about which people are making such a stir, pays more than one-sixth of his salary. Abolish this, and, taxpayers, you can expect to have at least three cents on the SIOO added to your taxes to make up the loss caused by such an action; or, kind teachers, you may have the fun again of hav ing your salaries still further reduced. All of this ia for what? Yes, well may we add what! For no reason that we can see unless it is to shun a little trouble. The book rent must be paid or else the patrons must buy their own books, and there can be no other way for it. We understand there is no trouble , in hia school here, and there is no reason why it should be anywhere else. Your Sykesville correspondent hit the nail on the head last week when he said “the people do want more and better school houses and longer terms,” but do they want their taxes increased, that the non-taxpayers may reap the benefit? We think we voice the sentiments of nine-tenths if not all the taxpayers of this district when we say they are totally opposed to any such legislation. Do not infer that we are an en- ■ eniy to the public schools, for such is not the case. We know the importance of them, and if there is any legislation to be done for the. benefit of our schools, there are plenty of places to begin the work without taking up the book-fee system.

The exercises were closed with a vocal duett, “Gently Sighs the Breeze,” by Misses Stauffer and SUngluff. Both la dies have excellent voices and bid fair to be come prima donnas. The entire programme was well rendered, and highly appreciated. The new stage, neatly and handsomely deco rated, added greatly to the occasion.

On Tuesday afternoon last, in the M. P. Church, Westminster, an extremely interest ing wedding was celebrated. The church was crowded with the friends and relatives of the contracting parties, Mr. Willim B. Gist, son of Mordecai Gist, Esq., and Miss Alice A** only daughter of Wm. Fenby, Esq., of near Westminster. At the hour appointed, half past four, the hridal party entered the church to the strains of Mendelssohn's weddingmarch, played hy Miss Florence Hering, organist of the chancel.and were met at the church by Rev. .1. D. Kinzer, the pastor, who performed the marriage service in an impressive manner. The bnde was attired in a handsome and be coming costume of dark green ottoman silk, with hat to match. The ushers were Messrs. Frank P. Fenby, brother of the bride, G. E. Hoppe, Col. S. K. Herr and F. Cunningham. The family of the groom occupied scats on the right, and that of the bride on the left of the centre aisle. Irving Literary Society of Western Mary land College, of which Mr. Gist is an exac tive member, attended the church iu a body and occupied the front seats. A reception and farewell to friends was held at the home of the bride, where one of the handsomest entertainments ever ottered in Carroll county was enjoyed by the guests. Nothing the heart could wish or the palate crave was omitted : fruits and ices, sparkling jelly, dclicious cakc, salad, turkey, oysters, coffee ami chocolate in abundance, and ar ranged in tempting profusion tastefully deco rated with rare ttowers. Mr. Gist and his bride an? both graduates of Western Mary land College, and by their marriage unite two of the oldest families in the history of the State, the groom being a direct descendant of Gen. Mordecai and Col. Joshua Gist, who figured so prominently in the Revolutionary War, and the bride a great-grand daughter of Judge Thomas Jones, of the Court of Anneals, and son of Philip Jones, who surveyed Balti more city. The presents were numerous and handsome. The newly wedded couple left on the five P. M. train for Baltimore and Washington, and thence to their future home, Florida. A number of friends from Baltimore attended the wedding and accompanied them as far as that city. Mrs. Gist will be greatly missed in the church of which she was a member, and in the Sunday School where she had been a faith ful and efficient laborer, greatly beloved hy her pastors and fellow workers and bv her Sunday School class, many of whom bade her good bye at the depot. As the train moved off, handfulls of rice were showered oyer the car by their young friends with the wish that plenty and prosperity may follow them to their new home in the land of flowers. MiN.Hionapy Anniversapy. The Sunday School of Centenary M. E. i Charch, this city, held their anniversary ex ercises last .Sunday night. The attendance on i the occasion was unusually large, and many failed to get even standing room, while the exercises were the most pleasing and enter taining of the kind given in this city for some years. A large platform was erected across the rear end of the church for the accommo dation of scholars, teachers and the choir. On the stage was a minatnre ship, represent ing the old Shin of Zion. To one side wjre evergreens and beautiful grasses, whilst in front was a large evergreen cross, with a rep- j resentution of a dove on the top, and wrapped ; around the cross was a chain and anchor in j white. I | The school, choir and musicians numbered I I more than one hundred, and the choruses I were given with a grand effect under the lead- j I ership and direction of Mr. Frank Mitten. | Miss Fanny Fringer presided at the organ, and j i Messrs.

The Knights of Pythias fair and festival opened on last Friday evening and closed on Monday evening. This was the most suc cessful enterprise of the kind that has been held in our town for some time. The contri butions were liberal and the affair was gener ally patronized. The leading feature was an election for an elegant student's lamp, pre j sooted by Mr. C. A. Myers to be voted on for the three ministare > town —Rev. AVm.Rupp, of the Reformed Church; Rev. E. Manges, of the Lutheran (fourth, and Rev, Z. p. Motyer, of the U. It. Church—at five cents a vote. Ballot hoses were placed in the hands of ladies of the different denominations to canvas for their respective ministers. The contest became interesting, and each party worked with- much zeal, and considerable anxiety prevailed up to the time of the announcement of the ballot.

The following correspondence between Mayor Thomas and W. L. Seabrook, PrefV dent of the Fire Department, refers to a mat ter in which every citizen of the city is inter ested, and we present it without comment, as we deem none necessary: Westminster. Md., Jan. 11, 1884. Wm. L. Seabrook, Esq. , President W cstmin uter Fire Department, Westminster , Md.—Dear Sir : —l kike the liberty of calling your atten tion to the fact, for the better protection of the citizens of Westminster, the Department should have at least two to three hundred more feet ot hose. The water works have withstood the extreme cold weather, and have been thoroughly tested, and we are having at all times a good supply of water in reserve, and fire plugs well distributed through the town; yet there is some property that would scarcely be in reach of the plugs for the line of hose that we now have. We have but 60S feet, and in case of a large fire, and should it be necessary to use two lines of hose, we would fall short, and perhaps not be able to do the good that will be expected should we ever lie called on. The Department would never have been w ithout a full supply of hose this long if it had have been in the power of the City Council to supply them, the corporate tax being limited, and that so low that it scarcely proves sufficient to liquidate such in debtedness as is absolutely necessary. My object in re&rring the matter to you is that you will have the kindness to bring it before the Department at your next meeting for their consideration, knowing full well that they have the interest of the lives and property of our citizens at stake, and that they in some way may devise some means by which we may have contributed by our citizens at least some aid for further protection. It is my opinion that when our people understand and are ac quainted they will more fully appreciate the condition of things, and a call from the Fire Department heretofore has always been nobly responded to; and whilst they are helping the j Department in this way it may redound to ! their own protection and security. Hoping that you and the Company you represent will view the matter as I do, and that you will make every effort to get in better shape, Very respectfully yours, Wm. B. Thomas, Mayor. Westminster, Mo., Feb. 20th, 1884. Wm. H. Thomas, Esq., Mayor of West minster, —Dear Sir: —l have given your com munication, dated January 11th, much thought and, at your request, submitted its contents to the Fire Department at its last regular meeting. After careful consideration by that body, 1 was instructed to answer. The facts, to which you call attention, we fully appre ciate and* know to be true. The abundant supply of water, with w hich we have been furnished, and the fire-plugs distributed i through the city, have inspired our citizens with such a feeling of security, that they gen erally believe that their houses are safe from the destroying element, because of the pro tection afforded by the water works. This would be comparatively true, if we had a suf ficiently large quantity of hose, but it is pos itively certain, that, with the small amount of apparatus we have, there is property within the corporate limits, upon which, in case of fire, not one drop of water could bo thrown from any plug; and it is equally true, that in the event of another great lire, such as that, 1 which visited our city last April, with the : limited supply of hose at command, it would j be utterly impossible to stop the course ofthe | flames. A moment’s thought will convince ' ! any one that more hose is absolutely necessa- i ry for the proper protection of all our citi- : sens. Convinced of the necessity, the prac | tical and important question arises, "How j shall this want be As you have stated, the corporate authorities have not the i means to purchase more hose, nor have they i power to make an assessment for that pur i pose. This is a question, which interest not only the Mayor and City Council and the Fire i Department but is of equal importance to each I citizen. It is my opinion, with which the j | other members of the department agree, that 1 it is only necessary for the Mayor us the re presentative of the city to make known the j necessity which exists, in order to have the , want supplied. The Fire Department, which I I have the honor to represent, is not a selfish body, organized for private benefit, but is ! ; simply a portion of the citizens, who, having | at heart the public good and having as their object the protection of all, are organized so 1 that that protection may be the better afford ! ed. Composed as it is of volunteers, who , have not hesitated to give their time, their i money and their best efforts to successfully | accomplish the purposes of their organzation, : its members, always ready and willing, by dav : or night, to respond to every call, to risk life | and undergo any danger for the good of the community at large, feel that to take upon | themselves any responsibility in this matter j wquld 1m an assumption of the cjuties aqd : rights ofthe corporate authorities, who as the ! representatives of the whole community, are i the only proper persons from whom an appeal ; of this kind should come, i I therefore suggest that you in your official ; capacity, in such manner as you may deem | best, let the public know the pressing need, j so that all of our citizens may have an oppor- I tunity to contribute as each may feel able, i and I feel certain that an appeal thus made : will ipeet w th a hearty response. Yours Respectfully, Wm. L. Seabrook, President W. F. D. ‘•Hearts of Slone.” On Friday of last week a glib-tongued, well- | dressed man came to the Advocate to adver tise the Broadway Theatre Company, New York, who proposed to give “Hearts of Stone” at Odd Fellows' Hall on Wednesday night. The Apvoc+ts tjpßS not put advertisements in its local columns, and Acquires cash in ad vance from strangers, consequently the en tertainment was not advertised in its columns. However, the agent managed to advertise his Broadway Theatre Company. Au advertise ment was put in the other town paper; a large banner was prepared announcing the enter tainment, and a colored boy paraded around the streets with it for four days, and the West minster Band was hired to give street con certs on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, the agent getting a carriage for the parade. The carriage was wrapped around wide strips of muslin, bearing in large letters the announr.eir t eiit qf tip; gi-(;at plqy— “Hearts of Stone.” Wednesday came and so did the great Broadway Theatre Compay. Altho ugh the night was rather unfavorable, a hundred or more persons went to the Odd Fellows' Hall to see and to hoar. When the curtain went up a woman appeared on the stage and sang “ 'Way dawn up-pon the Su-wanee Ree-ver," then followed a lecture on Catholicism, in which Catholics and ML Hope came in for a large share of adverse criticism. The crowd j became disgusted and boisterous. Inquiry ; was made as to whether the performance so j far given was “Hearts of Stone,” and an af firmative answer being given, the audience j began to leave. Then the noise increased, The performers were jeered, persons demand ed their money, &0,, Ao, After the audience left the doors were locked, but the doors were broken open and many went back into the hall, and again jeered the performers. The Company went to the City Hotel, under protection, but a large crowd followed, utter- i mg all sorts of threats, cheering. Ac. Those i who had bills against the Company stood I around the ticket office and gathered in the | money as fast as the tickets were sold. The proprietor of the City Hotel secured his bill, 1 tlip Westminster liras" Baufi gqt J 0,55 of the sls owing to them, a newspaper iqatt from 1 Frederick got $7 of a sl4 bill', the Sentinel gqt . part of its bill, but Mr. Thompson, for cur- ! riage hire, and the colored boy who toted a banner for fonr days, got left. The great | Company left on the 7 o'clock train Thursday j morning, but there was a considerable mini- j her of persons at the train to give them a good ; send-off. The general verdict in Westminster : is that the Theatre Company of: New York is a fraud. Tnneylown Hems.
