SPECIAL
L SERVIES
DR. SALLADE DELIVERED AN
OTHER FINE SERMON.
Services In the Christian Church
Were Well Attended- Meetings
Will Be Continued.
1'he special evangelistic services in
the First. Baptist and Christian
churches areg rowing in interest as
the week progresses, and despite tin
unfavorable weather conditions, t lie
congregations Wednesday night were
large.
At the First Baptist church Dr.
Ballade delivered an interesting ser
mon on "The Mercies of Cod,” and
held the closest attention of his hear
ers. Dr. Sallade has made a deep
impression upon his hearers, and his
work here will undoubtedly bear good
fruit. His sermon tonight will be
[ on the subject, "Astray.”
At the Winchester Avenue Christian
church a good-sized and attentive con
| gregation listened to an interesting
! discourse by Evangelist Moore. The
song service and social feature of
the meeting were very enjoyable. The
services in both churches will be con
tinued throughout the week.
BASE BALL PLANS TALKED OF
HAGERSTOWN FANS PREPARING
TO MAKE EARLY START.
Managers In Communication With
Martinsburg, Winchester and
Other Points.
The Hagerstown Herald says:
A meeting will he held shortly for
the purpose of laying plans for a base
hall team to represent Hagerstown the
coining season. Letters have been
written to Martinsburg, Winchester,
i Chamberslmrg, Frederick, etc., with
i a view of ascertaining the situation in
| those cities. While Hagerstown will
I i>e represented by a winning team, the
; playing strength of the club will in a
! measure be governed by the character
i of the teams in the neighboring cities
! Experience has demonstrated that two
evenly-matched clubs will provide far
| better sport and arouse more enthu
siasm, than will an exceptionally
I strong team playing an admittedly
j weaker aggregation. In the latter
i case the outcome is usually a foregone
conclusion, while with the former t.h<
game is not. usually over until the las
man is our, arid after all it is the un
certainty of (lie contest that makes
base ball the great national game.
The Rochester club, of the Eastern
1 league, is expected in Hagerstown
| about April I for a stay of two weeks,
I this city having been selected as the
j place for the club’s spring practice.
Baby’s Idol.
In a certain part of China thorn Is
kept a little idol shaped like a child.
Whenever a baby Is suffering; from In
digestion, or some other ailment, the
mother climbs up the hill to the hut
where the Idol is kept, rubs the idol
and praya over it for her baby's re
covery. So many hands have rubbed
the little image that the outside is
worn quite smooth.
Her Ideal.
The Ideal man, as woman considers
him, is one who can trail around for
half a day and not get weary while
she stops to price things.

| blue uniform, and will be remembered
' here by many.
I A woman of frail virtue, rather well
educated, bright, a fluent talker and
erratic withal, she drifted through life
(he sport, of every untoward circum
stance, and finally laid down her mis
spent life in the county poor house,
deserted by her natural protectors,
and was sent to a pauper’s grave,
unwept, unhonored and unsung.
