ville with electricity instead of gasoline lamps,
as at present. It is claimed that this would be
more satisfactory as well as cheaper.
—►The dry, hot weather has been a serious
drawback to farmers in the way of destroying
their pasturage. Many milk producers have
had their daily supply reduced to nearly one
half because of the scarcity of grass.
—►Those people who predicted that, on ac
count of the Mayeclipse of the sun, this would
be a “cool” summer, missed the mark woe
fully. What reason they had for making any
such forecast we are at a loss to know.

from which he has threshed and shipped 3,500
bushels. This indicates a yield of about 27
bushels to the acre.
—►The new transfer system now in use by
the United Railways appears to work satisfac
torily and is the best thing, no doubt, the
company has ever tried for its own protection.
The transfer fiend has not the same opportu
nities he formerly had.
—►There is talk of bringing Candidate Bryan
to the Timonium Fair this year. They did
that at Dover, Del., four years ago, and they
have never ceased to regret it. They had a big
crowd at the fair on “Bryan day” and nobody
either of the other days.
—►Mr. J. A. Bokel. of Goyanstown, had
one of his eyes very painfully injured a few
days ago by one of his children accidentally
hitting him in it with a switch. It wasat first
feared that he would lose the sight of it. Dr.
Henry Harlan attended him.
—Dr. Charles L. Mattfeldt, sanitary officer
at Catonsville, this week reported to the County
Commissioners that the firemen at that place
refused to use the department horses to draw
the street sprinkler. Can it be that the Catons
ville firemen are overworked ?
—►During the progress of a thunderstorm
j a few evenings ago Mrs. Conner, wife of Mr.
M. F. Connor, of the County Clerk’s office,
was shocked by lightning while sitting on the
porch of her home at Texas. The effect was
not serious and she soon recovered.
—► Henry Gettle, a farmer near New Mar
ket. 7th district, got a check for $55 cashed
at New Freedom last Saturday. He subse
• quently paid out $1 and placed the balance in
his pocket. When he got home the $54 was
missing and has not since turned up.
—► ’Tis said that all things come to those
who wait. This was the case with the more
! than welcome rain that came to us on Thurs
day night in a gentle shower of several hours’
duration. It did not reduce the temperature
much, but it did banish the stifling dust.
—►There must be some collusion between
the weather man and the fellows who run the
summer resorts. But how they get “Old Sol”
into their scheme is rather more than we can
see. The three seem to be working together
with a unanimity that is truly beautiful.
—►The large new barn of Mr. Price Hoopes,
near Watervaie, Balto. & Lehigh Raiiroad,
was burned on Saturday last, together with
two large stacks of hay that stood near the
building. The fire was caused by sparks from
a threshing engine. The barn was insured.
—►The Baltimore County Medical Associa
tion held its regular monthly meeting at Tol
chester on Thursday. Dr. Jackson Piper, of
Towson, read a poem entitled “Salatatory.”
The day was given up almost entirely to plea
sure, little business having been transacted.
—Mr. Alex. A. Grott, whose father has a
tailoring establishment in Baltimore, has es
tablished a branch store in Towson, having
rented the room occupied for so many years

young business man and will no doubt meet
with success.
—►Several county policemen in citizens
dress made a raid last Sunday on Holtzknecbt’s
saloon at Middle River and arrested the pro

Sunday and also for permitting gambling on
his premises. He was held for court upon
both charges.
Eorly-ninn white and fifty-eight colored

week. The examinations were conducted by

county schools, and Mr. John T. Hershner,
assistant examiner.
—►Mr. John P. De Lauder and wife have
sued the County Commissioners for $3,000 for
alleged damage'done to their farm, known as
“Jericho,” in the 11th district, by erecting an
embankment on the public road, four feet in
height, thus preventing them from having
free access to the property.
—►Gambling and Sunday violations were
informally discussed by the County Commis
sioners on Tuesday and the members of the
Board appear determined to put on the screws
to check this outlawry. Chief of Police
Streett will be furnished with whatever assis
tance he may need to this desirable end.
—► A fine horse in one of the hacks in a
funeral train that left Towson Tuesday after
noon gave out on the way to the cemetery
from the great heat that prevailed. It re
quired several hours’ hard work to save him.
In such weather as we have lately experienced
those who work with horses should be most
careful of them.
—►Last Sunday was St. Bwithin’? Day and
it not only did not rain, but it was as hot as
tophet. According to an ancient belief if St.
Swithin's day was fair there would be no rain
for a period of forty days. If this belief
should be verified this year everything will be
burned up. Even now vegetation of all kinds
is suffering for want of rain.
—► At the sale of horses and vehicles held at
the 8-Mile House, York road, on Wednesday,
by Mr. James W. Shea, the chestnut hunter,
5 years old, sired by The Baron, was purchased
by Mr. Joshua Todd for S2OO. At Madison
Square Garden, N. Y., about a year ago, Mr.
Shea refused $450 for this horse. He is 1C
hands and up to carrying 190 pounds.
—►Mrs. Frances M. Shipley has sued the
United Railways and Electric Company for
$3,000 damages for cutting down and mutila
ting a number of trees on her property in the
3d district. Mr. Robert N. Eider, trustee, has
sued the same company for $5,000 damages
upon the same grounds. Messrs. Barton, Wil
mer. Ambler & Stewart are attorneys in both
cases.
—Complaints have been made to the
County Commissioners about the mutilation
of shade trees by telegraph and fire-alarm
linemen. This is an outrage that should be
checked. Surely a private citizen who, per
haps, has taken years of time and attention to
grow pretty shade trees, should be protected
against these vandals. The law should deal
severely with them.
—►The new fire apparatus for Marble Hill,
Bth district, was given a test at that place on
Wednesday night and did its work in a most
satisfactory manner. Several hundred people
witnessed the test and there were music and
refreshments. Mr. George Jessop, a well
known business man of Marble Hill, was
mainly instrumental in establishing fire pro
tection at that place. __ __
Cockeysville, has also been doing some pros
pecting at Westminster, where there is said to
be an excellent field. The Cockeysville pro
ject is banging fire, at least for the present.
The idea is to get the people to subscribe to
$15,000 worth of the capital stock and thus se
cure control of the enterprise.
—►While digging the foundation for a
house on the property of Mr. Frederick Crow
der, at Lauraville, Harford road, a few days
ago, a human skeleton was unearthed. The
farm has been in Mr. Crowder’s possession
about forty years and no one was known to
have been buried there in that time. It is
thought that very many years ago a burial
ground had been located on the place.
—►Messrs. T. Edward Hambleton, John A.
Hambleton and Harry A. Parr proposed to
the County Commissioners to contribute SSOO
towardjthe improvement of Seminary avenue
if the county would contribute an equal
amount. The proposition has been accepted
by the Board. The avenue extends east
wardly from Lutherville to the Falls road,
Eassing the country seats of the Messrs. Ham
leton and Mr. Parr.
—►Mr. Charles E. Fend all, of Towson,
spent last Sunday at the farm of his brother,
Mr. Samuel K. Fendall, near Watervaie, Har
ford county. Mr. Fendall is extensively en
gaged in growing fruit, in which he has been
successful. He has 100 trees of Lawson pears,
a most beautiful fruit that is just ripening.
He also has over 2,500 apple and other kinds
of pear trees, all of which promise an abun
dant yield this season.
—►The voung people of the congregation
will hold a lawn party at Hiss’ M. E. Church,
Parkville, Harford road, Thursday, July 26th,
the proceeds of which will be devoted to the
India famine relief fund. Those in charge
will be Misses Lizzie Willinghan, Mamie
Wagoner, Nellie Hahn, Cordie Willinghan,
Nellie Roberts, Emma Ehrhardt, Grace Black
burn, Julia Fitch, Susie Schmidt, Freda Bar
bicow and Mollie Zollers.
—► “Wiltondale” is the new name of the
farm on the turnpike south of Towson, pur
chased some time ago by Mr. Jesse Hillis, and
now occupied by his son-in-law, Mr. Wilton
Greenway. The pretty little waiting room
erected at the entrance tyas the name of the
place on top in conspicuous gold letters. Al
together the farm has been greatly improved
since Mr. Greenway has been in charge and it
is now one of the prettiest places in the
vicinity of Towson.
—►The question at issue between the two
Boards of Election Supervisors in this coun
ty cannot be disposed of by the court until
after the beginning of the September term,
which is on the 17th of that month. In the
mean time, we suppose, the two Boards will
continue to meet and transact business. The
Postoffice Department has ruled that the
Board that is in possession of the books and
papers of the office is the one to which mail
matter must be delivered. This means that
Mr. Wm. A. Slade’s Board will get the mail
from the Towson office.
Trouble Over the Appointment of
School Teachers.—The patrons 6f the pub
lic school at Phoenix, Northern Central Rail
way, held a meeting on Tuesday night to pro
test against the removal of Misses Charlotte J.
Miller and Harriet B. Price as assistant teach
ers of the school and the appointment in their
places of Misses Sallie Ensor and May Evans.
Miss Ensor is a daughter of School Commis
sioner James B. Ensor, who has charge of the
schools in that district, and on whose recom
mendation the removals were made. Miss
Evans, it is stated, has declined to accept the
appointment under the circumstances. Mr.
Philip B. Price presided at the meeting, and
there was some severe criticism of Mr. Ensor.
Messrs. W. L. Byer and David S. Daily, trus
tees of the school, reported that they had re
quested Mr. Ensor to reconsider his action in
the matter and he had positively refused to
do so.
A resolution was adopted severely condemn
ing Commissioner Ensor and commending
Miss Evans for her refusal to accept the ap
pointment. Miss Miller had been teaching in
the school for seven years and Miss Price for
four years. Both young ladies, it is asserted,
have been faithful in the performance of their
duties, and their retention as assistant teachers
is desired by a large majority of the patrons
of the school.
A Youth Dies From Lockjaw.—William
Koppelman, aged 16 years, son of Mr. John H.
Koppelman, a well known truck farmer near
Gardenville, died on Wednesday of lockjaw.
On July sth he was working in his father's
field when in some manner a harrow fell on
him and one of the teeth imbedded itself in
his leg. He did not seem to suffer much in
convenience from the injury until two days
later, when he complained of his jaws hurting
him. Dr. William D. Corse wa9 called in ana
the next day he said the boy was suffering
from lockjaw. He lingered ten days in agony,
gradually growing weaker until his death.
Roland Park Water Supply.—The Balti
moieCity Water Board has given permission
to the Roland Park Company to tap a city
water main which was formerly used to sup
ply the Melvale Distillery, in order that resi
dents of the Park may be supplied with water,
the wells and springs in that neighborhood
having run dry during the present drouth.
The residents of Roland Park have been great
ly exercised during the last few days over the
prospect of a water famine.
Hyde’s, 11th District.—“ Humidity” is the
all-absorbing topic, while the gravity of the
continued drought is the source of considerable
anxiety and alarm among the farmers. Veg
etables are withered and tasteless, crops parch
ed and dwarfed, pastures dried and burnt and
springs and wells never known to be so low,
while the tbermoneter at this place reached
104 in the shade.
Much interest is being manifested in the
work of broad-gauging the B. & L. R. R. at
this point. The old road proved a great con
venience to this locality, yet the standard sys
tem will be much welcomed and patronized
by many who felt a reluctance to travel on the
narrow-gauge.
One of the most perplexing and annoying
duties that confront the farmer and his wife—
and a matter of vast importance to all con
cerned in the milk business —is the unsanitary
condition of the empty milk cans when re
turned by a majority of the city milk dealers
to the producers. This could easily be rem
edied by having the dealers rinse the cans in
cold water before returning. The cans come
back in such a foul condition that at the lowest
calculation 24 hours of sterilization would be
necessary to purify and make them germless.
This is caused by allowing a portion of the
sweet milk to remain in the cans. This sours
and curdles on the return trip, making an odor
(when opened) almost unbearable and adding
an endless amount of exertion on the part of
the dairymaid to get the cans in condition
for the return shipment. Even a pint of cold
water returned in each can would greatly aid
in remedying matters.
On Monday and Tuesday, when the ther
mometer registered 104, Col. Hyde gave orders
for the entire force of employes to stop work
and repair to their homes as their lives were
endangered by the intensity of the heat. Even
the harvesters took advantage of the order.
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Dilworth have returned
from their fortnight’s trip to the Eastern Shore.
They were delighted with the pleasures of
the Chesapeake resorts.
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Francis are enjoy
ing a two weeks’ sojourn at Atlantic City.
Misses Jessie Dilworth, of Fork, and Marion
Richardson, of Baltimore, were the guests of
Mrs. H. W. Dilworth this week. Howard.
Jacksonville and Sunnybrook, 10th
District. —This community was pained to hear
of the death of little Harry Price, youngest
son of Mr. John Price, who lives near Jackson
ville. He had been sick some weeks and bore
his sufferings with much, fortitude. The
cause of his death was heart failure. His
funeral took place at Chestnut Grove Church
and Rev. J. W. Campbell conducted the ser
vices, which were very sad. The funeral was
largely attended by many friends and rela
tives. The pall-bearers were Charles Owens,
Arthur Owens, Aubrey Jackson and Gideon
Wilson. Harry was much loved by his teach
er. fellow pupils and comrades. Many beauti
ful floral tributes were placed on the grave.
Rev. S. S. Bergen, of Hell ville. Pa., preached
at Chestnut Grove Church last Sabbath morn
ing and the sermon was much enjoyed by the
large congregation.
Miss Lottie Robinson, of Harford county,
is visiting her sister, Mrs. John R. Price, near
Jacksonville.
Prayer meeting service is being held every
Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in Chestnut
Grove Church. The pastor, Rev. J. W. Camp
bell, will appreciate it if the congregation will
attend more regularly.
Mr. Frank Porter, contractor and builder,
met with a very painful accident while rais
ing the new church at Union Chapel. His
hand was caught between some timbers and
had some of the small bones broken. Dr.
John S. Green attended him.
Chestnut Grove Christian Endeavor was led
last Sunday evening by Mr. Charles Owens.
The subject was Mission Work, and Mr.
Owens did ample justice to it. There were
many present and the meeting was much en
joyed.
Miss Christie Wilson, of Towson, is spend
ing some weeks with her parents, near Sweet
Air.
Miss Anna Burke, who has been sick at her
home near Sweet Air, is improved. C.
Monkton, 10th District.—There will be an

prising Monkton, Wesley Chapel, Clynmali
ra, Warren and Phoenix,in Clynmalira Church,
Tuesday, July 24th. Prominent speakers will
make addresses and the services will be inter
esting throughout. All cordially invited.
Harvest is nearly ended and threshing ma
chines have made their appearance and are
now at work. Wheat and rye are turning
out well, oats middling and grass rather short.
Corn, potatoes and gardens are suffering for
want of rain.
Many strangers and visitors from Baltimore
and other places arrive heredaily. They don’t
seem to mind the great heat, nor the stiffing
dust which now prevail, but take life as easy
as possible under the circumstances.
Mr. Jacob M. Pearce and wife, Mrs. Thomas
J. Miller and Mrs. Wm. H. Pearce have gone
to Atlantic City. They expect to be away
places of interest in the North.

boarding with Mrs. Sudler, of Monkton.
Mr. S. Elmer Miller, who has been sick for
some time, is able to be out again. He is still
quite feeble. H.
Orangeville, 12th District.—At a recent
meeting of the board of trustees of Highland
town M. E. Chapel, Rev. L. Emory Bennett,
pastor, it was decided to make some much
needed improvements to the church building.
Among other things the exterior will be given
two coats of paint and the old front steps will
be replaced with new ones. The contract for
the work has been awarded to Mr. Reese, of
Highlandtown.
On Thursday, 26th inst., the Sunday school
of Highlandtown Chapel, of which Mr. James
Fisher is superintendent, willgotoGwynn Oak

companied by the school of Highland Avenue

superintendent. The schools will take special
cars of the United Railways and Electric Com

The list of protestauts against granting
liquor license to Florian Keidel, which ap
peared in last Monday’s Sun, contained the
name of “Rev.” George W. W. Smith, Jr.
Mr. Smith desires the statement to be made
that while he endeavors to be a law-abiding
citizen, he is a long way from being a wearer
of the cloth. The Sun doubtless had reference
to Rev. L. Emory Bennett, pastor of High
land Circuit of the M. E. Church, whose
nameappears in the list,minusthe usual prefix.
Two hearses, containing the victims of the
Sunday morning tragedy on East Lexington
street, Baltimore, passed out the Philadelphia

Run. There was only one hack, which con
tained the immediate relatives of the deceased.

Mrs. William McDonald, who has been very
sick for some time, is in an unimproved con
dition.
Mrs. Cooper, wife of Mr. Walter Cooper, of
“Belgravia,” whose illness was reported in
The Union several months ago, is still very
sick.
“Mark Alexander’s Range,” the pretty home
of Mr. Alex. McCormick, near Fullerton was
the scene of an interesting event on Sunday
afternoon last, when the infant daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Frank was baptized by
Rev. W. F. Roberts. After the ceremony had
been performed Mr. McCormick placed a five
dollar gold piece in the little one’s hand, he
having had the privilege of naming the child.
Rev. W. S. Seitz, of Baltimore, will preach
at Catch's M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon
next, at 3 o’clock. G.
Kingsville, 11th District. —The weather
man seems to have forgotten this section of
the country, otherwise he would have sent us
some rain long before this.
Many Baltimoreans are summering in this
section of the county. Among them are Mr.
R. Stanley Richardson, who is visiting the
Misses Numbers at their home “Cherry Hill,"
near Kingsville, and Miss Dean and Miss
Richardson, who are visiting Miss Jessie Dil
wortb, near this place.
A lively and pleasant party left Mr. Robert
Dilworth’s last Thursday night on a “hay
ride” to Bradshaw, with the usual music made
by horns and bells. The coach was beauti

Mr. Gorsuch is All Right.—The following
letter from Mr. Thomas Gorsuch of C., of
Parkville, Harford road, who is a local preacher
of the M. E. Church, will explain itself:
"Messrs. Editors—l see by the last issue of
The Union an announcement that I had be
come very feeble. lam happy to inform you
to the contrary and say that I am as well,
hearty and energetic and as voung as any
‘young man’ of my age could be expected to
be. 1 am in my buggy nearly every day in
the week. My business has increased so much
that it requires my attention six days every
week. In January, 1868, I was elected a di
rector of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company
in Harford county and the first year of my
work my collections amounted to about S6OO.
Every year since these collections have in
creased until last year (1899) I paid over to the
company over $4,000, and for the current year
I expect to run it to about $5,000. I will say,
not boastingly, however, that I have been very
successful in my work, owing to an honest
purpose to do at all times what I conceived to
be right, working by the Golden Rule—do
unto others as I would have them do to me.
I have been dealing with my people for a period
of thirty-two years. Most of these are Ger
mans who, as a class, can always be depended
on. I have often given them receipted bills in
advance of payment, but in every instance
the money came according to promise. 1 can
not call to mind a single instance where I lost
25 cents in the long years of my experience in
the work. There are eighteen directors.of my
company and I am among those of that num
ber who, in 1899, received a preminm for the
largest returns. So you see to attend to what
1 have on hand a man cannot permit himself
to become infirm and feeble. I thank the good
Lord that I am still able to attend to my work.
“My faithfufhorse is always true to me and
ever ready to perform his daily work, but he
These it is always a pleasure for me to supply.
In addition to assisting me in my worldy pur
suits he is also a good church-going horse,
sometimes taking me to church as often as
three times on a Sunday. He knows well
where the church is and has never once been
beard to say : ‘I worked hard all the week and
must take my rest on Sunday.’ ”
The New Census of Baltimore City.—Ac
cording to a special dispatch received from
Washington by the Baltimore Nun, based upon
information secured from sources that may be
considered reliable, that paper says Baltimore
ans will be disappointed to learn that the popu
lation of the city, as determined by the new
census, will probably not exceed 550,000. It is
thought the figures will be nearer 525,000. The
census of 1890 gave the city a population of
434,450.
These figures do not give a fair idea of the
population of what is, to all intents and pur
poses, the city of Baltimore, or to the city’s
growth of population in the last 10 years. The
population of Canton and Highlandtown,
numbering about 12,000, draw their supplies
from the city proper, many of the people are
employed here, and the industries there are
largely operated by Baltimore capital. A
stranger in East Baltimore would not know
when he passed over the line from city to
county, yet those whose homes are in the set
tlements named are not included in the count
for Baltimore.
Since the last census was taken there has
been a great boom in suburban development,
and thriving villages have sprung up just be
yond the city line, including Roland Park, a
large part of West Arlington, Irvington and
Suabrook Park. Almost every house in these
villages is occupied by persons whose business
interests are in Baltimore, and a large propor
tion of them are voters in Baltimore. Those
who do not live in the suburbs all year go out
between May 1 and June 1, returning to the
city about September 1.
The development of the rapid transit system
has brought the suburbs within such easy
reach of downtown that thousands of Balti
moreans to whom such a thing would have
been an unattainable luxury a few years ago
are now able to live in the country and do
business in the city. These include small
merchants, clerks with moderate salaries and
mechanics. These men consider themselves
Baltimoreans and for every purpose except
that of the census taker they are.
Charged With Robbing His Employer.
—Lincoln S. Muse, colored who was employed
as a waiter at “Beaumont,” the residence of
Mr. William Lanahan, on Bellona avenue,
north of Govanstown, was on Wednesday,
held by Justice Herbert, of Towson, in $1,300
bail to await the action of the grand jury on
the charge of stealing a diamond ring and a
diamond pin, the property of Mrs. Lanahan,
and a check for S3O and some money, the prop
erty of Mr. Lanahan. He is also charged with
the" larceny of some other small articles which
are alleged to have been found in the posses
sion of Mnse. Mr. Lanahan stated that b*
had the utmost confidence in Muse, who had
free access to every part of his house. Muse
declined to make any statement. The diamond
ring and pin were valued at S7OO.
Friday—l3th—Hoodoo.—The supersti
tious person looked askance yesterday when
he looked at his calendar and saw Friday,
popularly called “hangman's day,” and the
13th of the month. To some persons the com
bination of Friday and 13 was looked upon as
a sort of counteraction of evils, the one super
stitious infilienee offsetting the other. But to
the truly superstitiously inclined—the person
who will not walk under a ladder or through
a funeral procession or allow a black cat to
cross his path—the combination of possibje
bad luck was simply uusurmountable. This
person carefully refrained from starting any
enterprise upon such an evidently unlucky
day, and, in fact, avoided anything that might
come under the influence of the double hoo
doo. — Baltimore Sun, Saturday.
Candidate Bryan Will Get the Coop.—
Mr. William R. Hoff, one of the clerks in the
office of the clerk of the Circuit Court at Tow
son, is a chicken fancier and has invented a
coop which has won much popularity. He
has read with great interest of the coop which
was invented by William Jennings Bryan,
the Democratic candidate for President. Mr.
Hoff and his associates in the Clerk’s office
have decided to have one of the former’s pat
ent coops made and sent to Mr. Bryan. Mr.
Clinton E. Matthews has agreed to pay the
express charges for sending the coop to Mr.
Bryan’s home. Mr. Hoff says that while he
admits Mr. Bryan's oratorical powers, he
thinks that he (Mr. Hoff) has invented a su
perior chicken coop.— Baltimore American.
A Large Trust Estate Distributed. —Mr.
Edwin F. Abell, trustee under the will of
George W. Abell, has conveyed to Jane Frances
Duke, wife of W. Bernard Duke, formerly the
i widow of the testator; Jane Mary Abell and
i Charles Shepherdson Abell all the estate of
of the deceased, consisting of real estate and
ground rents in Baltimore city and county, to
’ be held as tenants in common, and one-third
of all the personal estate, consisting of stocks,
bonds, etc., to each one respectively, Mr.
1 Abell, who was one of the proprietors of the
Baltimore Sun, left a large estate, including
the beautiful residence on the north side of
the Joppa road, near Sherwood.
Deer Creek Farmers’ Club—A Talk on
Snakes.—The last meeting of the Deer Creek
1 Farmers’ Club was held at the beautiful Sum
• mer home of Dr. Howard A. Kelly, near
• Belair. The Dr. is an authority on snakes
> and the club decided to abandon its regular
i method of procedure and instead requested
him to give them a lecture on snakes.
■ He commenced by saying that his early
I ambition had always been to become a natur
• alist and in this direction his thoughts now,
• although he had chosen a more useful pro
■ fession, ran and in nature's studies there was
none more interesting than snakes. He did
not think it right for a man, considering him
self as the centre of the Universe, to destroy
these creatures which were put here for some
good purpose, as they have as much right to
live as we ourselves have. Few are poisonous
and these are easily distinguishable. Because
of these few we wantonly destroy many which
| should be preserved. A minute study shows
as much diversity as any other animal. One
peculiarity is their adaptability to crawl on the
ground. Their ribs, about 200 in number,
spread out broad and in a measure take the
place of legs. A snake cannot run in any di
rection except in a sigmoid lateral direction.
The doctor here produced a live hog-nosed
viper, which he handled as tenderly and affec
tionately as a kitten. Snakes do not differ
materially from lizards, except they have no
ears. The bones in the head are also different.
The snake has six different jaws, instead of
two in other animals. This enables it to
swallow bodies larger than itself. It has a set
of palatial teeth, to enable it more firmly to
hold its prey.
Among the different varieties are the tree
snakes, which are generally the color of the
foliage, and fresh water snakes. The latter’s
mouth is on top of the head to allow them to
go under the water. Sea serpents are almost
always poisonous. Outside of the poisonous
varieties the snakes do very little harm. In
some places in South America they are kept
! in houses to devour the rats and mice. Prob
ably their worst trait is destroying young birds
. and nests. For this purpose ground varieties
' have been known to climb trees. Scientists
..' for a long time did not believe that they would
eat eggs, but it is now an admitted fact,
v He related an illustrative story about a
snake which crawled into a wall and swal
lowed many eggs that it could not get back.
It was killed, the eggs set and twelve little
chickens hatched out. This shows that they
do not cnsh t,he eggs and the reason for this is
that they have no lips. Some varieties have
well defined enamelled teeth in the gullet.
The question has been frequently asked
whether snikes drank or not. It has been
proven that a large quantity of water is neces- <
sary for their existence.
In handling snakes in the country the same
discretion should be exercised as with plants
or animals. They are helpful to nature and
ought not to be killed any more than birds. 1
If they are the country will be overrun with
rodents. The poisonous varieties are easily
recognized. There are only two kinds in this <
vicinity—the copperhead and the rattler. The
poisonous have a small pit on the top of the
head. There is no water moccasion in this
vicinity. Our water snakes are perfectly i
harmless, but should be destroyed as they eat
fish. One very poisionous variety which is
very much akin to the harmless is the Harle
quin or elaps fulvius. His color is yellow and i
is marked with black and orange. 'As a rule
he is as harmless as he looks. His compan- 1
ions are generally the harmless variety and
they do not look unlike each other. The doc
tor showed a specimen in alcohol which had
killed the negro man who tried to put it in the ;
bottle.
The question has been frequently asked as
to which is the more poisonous, the rattler or i
copperhead. The answer is that as the former
discharges about ten times more of venom it
is the most dangerous. The only exception to
this is the little snake heretofore mentioned. <
Showmen frequently extract the fangs of
poisonous reptiles and fatal results frequently
follow, as new sets are constantly forming.
Another means resorted to make the reptile i
harmless is to make it bite and empty the <
venom sac, which takes several days to refill.
When bitten by a snake on the extremities
the right thing to do is stop the circulation by
tying a string tightly above the part affected
and cut freely about the part swollen to make
it bleed freely, and thus let out the poison. A
remedy has lately been discovered in Paris by
a celebrated French physician. It is obtained
in a similar manner as anti-toxin in diphtheria.
This will save life and can be used after a con
siderable period from the time of the sting. |
The poison from a snako can be swallowed i
with impunity. The digestive juices render it i
perfectly harmless, but if it comes in contact !
direct with the nerve system the result is disas
trous.
In answer to a question by one of the mem
bers as to whether whisky was an antidote,
the doctor said emphatically : “It is not. On i
the contrary, there are more people killed by
its use than lives have been saved. The fool- i
ish notion that a person inoculated with the
poison of a snake can drink with impunity i
enormous quantities of the stuff has killed
Imiuiv persons where death was attributed to
t about his experience with two black snakes,
S one large and the other small, which he put
in a bag and took to Philadelphia. Upon ar
riving at his destination he discovered one of
his pets, the larger snake, missing. The little
one had swallowed him. Another experience
he recounted was when two enormous serpents
were eating the same mouse. They kept
swallowing until both had the animal inside
and then commenced to make a meal of each
other. Fortunately they were discovered in
time to prevent them from eating each other
up and thus destroying two of his most valua
ble specimens.

Some Interesting Experiments With
Wheat. —A letter from Easton, Md., to the
Baltimore Sun says : “Dr. Charles Lowndes,
of Sunnyside, Miles River Neck, has made
some interesting experiments in wheat har
vesting designed to snow the loss incurred by
cutting wheat before it is fully ripe. The
wheat experimented with was planted on the
10th of October on stiff white’-oak land and
seeded a bushel and a half to the acre. At
harvest time Dr. Lowndes took three samples
of five heads each, all the heads having the
same number of bars and of grains in each
bar. No. 1 was taken when the grain was in
the milky state, No. 2 when in the doughy
state and No. 3 when the grain was fully ripe.
Three days intervened between the taking of
each sample. All the samples were kept in
the same place and subjected to the same con
ditions of temperature and moisture. The
wheat was rubbed out by hand. Each sample
, was carefully weighed on a druggist’s prescrip
, tion scales. No. 1 weighed 68 grains, No. 265
grains and No. 3 75 grains. No. 1 was dark,
shriveled and unsightly ; No. 2 was better, but
oft'color, and the grains were not plump ; No.
3 was perfect in condition and color. This
shows a loss of over 15 per cent, in harvesting
wheat when the grains are in the doughy
state. Why the milky state grains weighed
more than those in the dough state is an un
answered question.”
Mrs. Haslup on "Purity.”—Mrs. Mary E.
Haslup, of Baltimore county, president of the
Maryland W. C. T. U., attended the annual
convention of that body, which was held at
Washington Grove camp ground, Montgom
i ery county, on Wednesday. The theme dis
cussed in the afternoon was “Purity,” and
Mrs. Haslup made an address in which she
plead for a fuller understanding between
mothers and children. As soon as children
are old enough, she said, to ask questions re
garding their origin and their life they are old
enough to be answered truthfully so far as
they are capable of understanding. Parents,
i she asserted, make a mistake in falsifying
these things and in mistaking ignorance for
i innocence. One reason for the great amount
i of impurity in the world is that parents do not
tell their children the truth. They seem to
, regard as impure the things which God has
made part of His pure and divine plan. This
( branch of the Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union work, which Miss Frances Willard
. considered of the greatest importance, Mrs.
i Haslup declared has Deen one of the lines along
. which the organization has been of most ben
s efit to women.

Ladies in a Runaway Accident.—What
might have proven a serious driving accident
occurred on Wednesday night last, on Ridgelv’s
Hill. Dulany’s Valley turnpike, about a mile
north of Towson. Miss Irene Bosley, of Boa
ley postoffice, and Miss Anna Smith, of Du
lanv's Valley, were returning with a party of
friends from an excursion to Queenstown.
While descending the hill the horse Miss
Bosley was driving took fright and started to
run. In her efforts to control him Miss Bos
ley was thrown over the dashboard into the
road, leaving Miss Smith in the buggy minus
the reins and entirely at the mercy of the ap
parently maddened animal. Fortunately,
when the horse reached the foot of the hill he
became entangled in the harness and fell, when
Miss Smith made good her escape. Neither of
the young ladies was hurt.
Another Landmark Gone.—A few days
ago Contractor Frank Long, of Canton, finish
ed tearing down the old house at the corner of
Elliott street and East avenue, where the new
Canton National Bank Building is to be erec
ted. The building demolished was one of the
oldest structures in Canton, having been built
in the early 40s, and was familiarly known as
the “First Baltimore County House,” having
derived its name from the fact that it was at
the time of its erection the first house after
crossing the dividingline between the city and
county south of the Philadelphia road. For a
number of years the place was one of the
most popular public resorts in Canton. Dur
ing the Civil War the house was a rendezvous
for Union soldiers who camped in the vicinity.
Big Fire at Arlington.—Between 1 and 2
o'clock on Friday morning, 20th inst., a fire

entirely destroyed, together with the dwellings
of Michall Wright, Joshua Parks, J. Conley,
Daniel Hoffman and Benjamin F. Grove. The
house of Christopher Sommerman was badly
damaged. The occupants of the houses lost
nearly everything they possessed and some of
them barely escaped with their lives. The
loss will be heavy. The fire is supposed to
have been caused by the crossing of electric
wires. Towson chemical engine and others of
the county department responded to the alarm.

AUTHORITY ON HYDROPHOBIA.
Are There Such Things as “Mad" Togs?
—Some Interesting Facta on
the Subject.
Salem (N. J.) Standard.
Since the mad dog scare reached Salem a
few weeks ago tire question of hydrophobia
and the torturing of dogs with muzzles, con
finement, Ac., has been discussed on street cor
ners and almost every business place and
household in the city. Many have argued that
dogs are only affected with rabies during the
hot weather, while others claimed that dogs
were more likely to go mad in cold weather.
Mr. A. W. Sherron, the grocer, who is one of
our most humane citizens, has kindly furnish
ed the Standard with the following authenti
cated and interesting article:
Is there such a thing as rabies, and such a
thing as a mad dog? In the thirty years since
the American Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals was established in Phila
delphia, their officers and agents have been
on the lookout, but no undoubted case has
ever fallen under their observation, or within
their knowledge, and of over 160,000 dogs and
other small animals which have been cared for
at their shelter during the past three years,
not one single case of rabies has been found.
The late Dr. Hiram Corson, of Montgomery
county, Pa., whose practice extended over a
period of seventy years, during which time he
searched diligently for the disease in man and
animal, wrote: “I have never had a real case
of hydrophobia.”
Dr. Matthew Woods, of Philadelphia, now
has been in quest of the disease for twenty
years, and who during two summers personal
ly visited every case reported in Philadelphia,
asserts that he never saw hydrophobia either
in man or animal. Six years ago he offered
to pay SIOO to any person bringing him a pa
tient with hydrophobia. So far no one has
ever claimed the reward.
At the Philadelphia dog pond, where, on an
average, over 6,000 vagrant dogs are taken up
annually, and where the catchers and keepers
are frequently bitten while handling them,
not one case of hydrophobia has occurred dur
ing its entire history of twenty-five years, in
which time 150,000 dogs were handled.
Dr. Edward C. Spitzka, professor of Medical
Jurisprudence, and of Anatomy and Phy
siology of the Nervous System, in the New
York Graduate School of Medicine, writes :
“Much of the observation of suspicious dogs is
made through optics disturbed by fear, and by
persons incompetent to interpret what they
see.” He continues that notwithstanding
his every effort to secure observation of rabies
in man or dog, not a single opportunity has
offered itself.
; Dr. Charles W. Dultes. lecturer on the His
tory of Medicine at the University of Pennsyl
vania, has investigated, either personally or by
correspondence with the physician in atten
dance, every case reported in the newspapers
of the United States for the past sixteen years.
From his observation he concludes that "there
is no such specific malady, having after six
teen years of investigation failed to find a sin
gle case on record that can be conclusively
proved to have resulted from the bite of a dog
or any other cause.”
Dr. Charles K. Mills, professor of Mental
pus Diseases, Woman’s Medical College, Phila
delphia, says: “I have seen many patients
suffering from what was called hydrophobia,
both in my own practice and in consultation
with other physicians, yet all were examples
of diseases of entirely different character, with
symptoms resembling those supposed to be
symptoms of hydrophobia. Ido not feel justi
fied in saying that hydrophobia does not ex
ist, but I nave never seen a so-called case that
could not be explained on some other view
than that of the introduction of a specific mor
bid virus. Although I have taken special
Esins to find a clear case of hydrophobia in the
uman subject, I have not yet succeeded.”
Hydrophobia in the human subject then ap
pears to be, in nearly every case, a disease—of
the imagination—and does not exist otherwise.
There are doubtless cases of blood poisoning,
such as may follow any wound caused by
the bite of a dog, but not one of these cases
out of a hundred is real hydrophobia. And
when you hear of a mad dog having passed
through the neighborhood, followed by a com
pany of excited men with clubs, guns and
pitchforks, or his having been killed after bit
ing all the dogs he meets, of the bitten dogs
sacrificed in consequence, just conclude that
here was a poor dog that had lost his master
and was running to find him, running until
famished and tired out, irrated and angry at
the cruelty shown him along the road and
probably not a case of rabies at all. And
whatever you do avoid joining in the mad and
cruel chase of the poor, thirsty, hunted, un
happy dog.
Mad dogs are in the nature of myths and
should be so considered by intelligent people.
In case one is bitten by a dog or a cat,
whether supposed to be mad or not, the best
thing you can do is just take a few vapor baths,
as hot"as yon can bear them. The prespiration
will eliminate any poison that the bite may
have introduced into your system. Then en
deavor to forget all abont it. If you follow
this simple advice the chances are incalculably
great that you will be perfectly safe.
Advantage of Bare Feet.
Pall Mall Gazette.
Visitors to Scotland used to be horrified on
seeing so many children running about bare
footed. Bare feet are less common now than
they were a generation ago, and perhaps the
change, while showing a growing prosperity
in the nation, is not altogether to be recom
mended. Children's feet grow so fast that to
keep them always properly shod is a matter
that requires considerable care and some ex
penditure. It matters very little to a child's
future well-being that at some period of its
childhood the sleeves ofa jacket have been too
short or the skirt of a frock too scant; but the
compression of feet in boots too tight, or,
even worse, too short, may be a cause of tor
ment in future years. Infinitely better are
bare feet than clumsy, heavy, ill-shaped boots.
In the winter the feet may indeed want some
protection from cold and wet, but during a
great part of the year clildren may safely and
healthfully go barefooted.
Some mothers, by no means of the poorest
class, are convinced that the comfort and sym
metry of the feet in maturer years are largely
to be gained by giving them freedom during
the time of growth. At a very fashionable
marriage some time ago a child bridesmaid
was seen silk-robed, but shoeless.
And if shoes are undesirable, how much
more so are gloves ? Except the thick woolen
ones for winter warmth, gloves shoued be ban
ished from a child’s wardrobe._
First Street Car In Baltimore.
The News, July 14th.
Yesterday marked the 41st anniversary of
the running of the first street car in Baltimore.
About a year ago the-Yew* published a detailed
history of the movement which led up to the
granting of the first franchise for a tramway
service in this city and the abolition of the
two ’bus lines which had previously been
operated between the Three Tons Hotel, Pratt
and Paca streets, and Fells Point, and Holli
day and Baltimore streets and Govanstown.
To the wisdom and farsightedness of the late
Thomas Swann, at the time Mayor of Balti
more, the city owes the fund, now amounting
to nearly $300,000, annually, derived from a tax
on the gross receipts of street railway traffic,
which maintains the system of public parks.
In recognition of this fact, many of the citi
zens of Baltimore have at times expressed a
desire to see a monument to Mr. Swann erected
in Druid Hill Park, itself one of the blessings
conferred upon the people of the city during
his administration. The street cars which first
ran in Baltimore were manufactured in Phila
delphia. They were of the box-shaped pat
tern and seated only 12 persons. The first
company, known as the City Passenger Rail
may Company, had Mr. Jonathan Brock of
Philadelphia tor its president, and laid tracks
on Baltimore street between South street and
Broadway. The Baltimore street retail mer
chants west of South street at first opposed
the laying of the tracks, but subsequently
when convinced of the benefit to accrue to
them in bringing customers to their doors
withdrew their oppositson.
Ex-Mayor Malstee, of Baltimore, positive
ly denies that he is a candidate for the Repub
lican nomination for Congress, as stated by
■ one of the city papers. He resides in the
Second Congressional district.
Not Many Deaths From Lightning.
Ainslec's Magazine.
A reference to lightning brought out the
fact that the Weather Bureau is using its pon
derous organization for the collection of light
ning statistics. The officials are less con
cerned with the identification of the thunder
bolt than they are with its disastrous effects.
According to lightning statistics 312 inhabi
tants of the United States, on an average, are
struck by lightning during each year. Twen
ty-five hundred were struck daring the last
nine years. Farmers suffered most, probably
because of their exposed occupation, for tt j
danger of lightning'is found to be four times*
as great in Lne country as in the cities. Janu
ary, naturally, is the least dangerous month,
and July is the most dangerous—l 23 persons
were killed during July, 1893. During the
eight years ended with 1897, 7,558 buildings,
valued at $17,682,872, were destroyed by light
ning ; 4,881 of these were barns. Comparti vely
few churches were struck. In 1898 buildings
valued at $1,441,880 were destroyed. New
York headed the list, with 495. There were
no disastrous strokes in Idaho, Arizona, Cali
fornia, Oregon, Nevada or Utah. In the same
year 1,842 animals, valued at $48,000, were
killed by 710 strokes of lightning. This mor
tality was unequally divided among cattle,
horses, mules, pigs and sheep, whole flocks of
the latter being killed by single bolts. There
is no means of finding out the exact number
of trees struck, but it is interesting to know
that the list of liability is headed by the oaks.
Firs, beeches, pines, larches, ash and birch
trees are most liable to be struck in the order
named, on account of their conducting quali
ties. The records show an increase in the
number of damage-dealing lightning strokes,
especially in Europe. But the cause of this
has not yet been discovered. The only defi
nite fact observed by the bureau is that these
violent manifestations seem to occur in con
nection with the movement of sluggish cy
clonic areas across the country during the
warmer months.
josuua n lib, ilie uiutai luciuuci oi .ue Ain
nois Sons of the Revolution, died the other
day in Chicago, at the age of ninety-three.
He was a prominent abolitionist in ante hel
ium days and a fast friend of John Brown.
Ex-President Cleveland is still disgusted
with the Democratic party because of its 16 to
1 plank. What he thinks of his former part
ner, Adlai Stevenson, for running on that
plank is not recorded.
Mr. Bryan is so opposed to McKinley be
coming an emperor that he has been working
for years to secure the scepter for himself. He
has already proven himself to be a pretty good
boss.
