Brief Local News to Auditorium tonight. Everybody is just as busy as busy can be at this time; if you are not busy, you are out of tune with those around you. Mr. C. Rt. Marriner, who has ben spending several days this week at the hotel Dixon, left this afternoon for his home in Frincess Anne. Mrs. Ralph Reese, of Chesapeake City, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel W. Woolford, at their home at Woolford, Md.. The steamers Avalon, Tredavon and Planketank, of the B.,C. A. fleet, have had their engines and boilers repaired at the works of the W. S. Cahill Co., Baltimore.

Carmine, the local agent,in town this weck Superintendent A. S. Marine, of the Public Schools of this county, advises us that the schools’ will close on Friday, Dec. 20, and_ re open Monday, Jan. 6, 1913. These dates were forecast in yesterday’s issue of The Banner. The weekly entertainments at the Cambridge Yacht Club are in creasing in interest, and are being more largely attended each week; quite a large crowd was present last night, and everyone seemed to enjoy the occasion. Persons having packages to be sent away by express should endea vor to get them off early, as on ac count of the great rush at the holi days it is simply impossible for the express companies to take care promptly of the increased volume of business. Elsewhere in this issue will be found the statement of the Eastern Shore Trust Company and its nine branches. The statement shows that the Cenmany has on deposit $1,808,893.32, and has surplus and undivided profits amounting to $140,098.85. Since donning their new winter uniforms the Cambridge police force has attracted much attention, the handsome blue suits, with brass buttons, setting off the manly forms of the wearers to great advantage. The Baltimore City Beauty Squad should come down and get a few Points. If you have a grouch on, keep it to yourself; the public is not interested in it, and many a man has ruined his business by com plaining all the time. Look on the bright side, no matter how bad things may seem to be, they could be worse, and everyone should be thankful that they are as good as they are. Many of the merchants of Cam bridge have expressed during the past few days the belief that a Merchants’ Association would be of great benefit to this city, benefit ting not only the merchants, but the public as well. The mer chants are too busy now to take the matter up, but right after the holidays will be a good time to see if they cannot get together upon some sort of a proposition of this character.

She will take the place of the steamer Texas during the winter months. She is a much larger boat and has spacious sa loons. In addition, she has twenty two staterooms. The new steamer will be in charge of Capt. George R. Navy, and for the present the schedule will remain the same as heretofore. The boat leaves Cam bridge at 7 a. m. every day. The Methodist Churches of Bal timore have started to work on a campaign to increase their various memberships at least ten per cent. during the next year, this is a laud able ambition and it is to be hoped that coupled with it will be the de termination to increase at least as much the efficiency of church work. The addition of the names to the church roll does not con stitute this; in fact, church mem bers who fail to live up to their church obligations are the exam ples which those outside of the churches always use as comparisons. A commission, composed of five State Senators and several other prominent citizens of Maryland,has arrived at the Waldorf,in the course of a tour undertaken to inquire in to the best means of housing and caring for the insane. The State of Maryland is about to build an asy lum on the Eastern Shore, and the commission started out to look into State institutions in New York,New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio and Indiana.

Her ring, Secretary of the State Board of Lunacy, and Robert Vandiver. The commission paid a visit to Ward’s Island yesterday morning, and in the afternoon went to the Hippodrome. They will rest today, and tomorrow will go over to New Jersey. “Hitherto the State of Maryland has had only one public institution for its insane,’’ said Senator Bosley. “This is located at Sykesville, on the Western Shore. Last year the Legislature appropriated $800,000 for the care of the insane, and, of this, $600,000 will be used for the erection of an institution which will take care of the insane on the East ern Shore, and will be known as the Eastern Shore State Hospital for the Insane.
