the Timonium fair this week while passing

suffering, worry of mind and expense.

Talk of a Long-Distance Trolley Line.—
Tbe Delta Herald of last week said: “It is
said the work of surveying trolley lines to con
nect Lancaster and Baltimore via Delta, will
shortly begin. Already tbe probable route is
being looked over and it is found that land
owners in the lower end of this county are en
thusiastic over the proposed trolley line. A
number, it is said, have offered rights of way
free of charge.
“Samuel M. Fulton, Hugh Ross and other
lower end citizens of prominence are among
the projectors. These men are interested with
Lancastrians in the extension of tbe trolley
from Lancaster county into York county via
the York Furnace river bridge, which is to be
built. They propose to extend the line from
York Furnace to Delta, there to connect with
a line being built from Baltimore to Belair,
and is to be extended northward to Delta.
“Tbe later line has at its bead 8. A. Williams,
a former Republican candidate for tbe Gov
ernor of Maryland. In addition to this con
nection, the Pennsylvania projectors expect to
extend their line northward trom York Fur
nace to Red Lion and thence on to York. The
power to be used will be supplied in time by
the great electric power plant at McCall’s Ferry.
“It is said that a number of the lower end
farmers stand ready to assist the project, not
only by giving land, but to give financial aid.
Sheriff Manifold is assisting the projectors in
the matter of selecting a convenient and eco
nomical route from Red Lion to Delta.”
Can’t Violate Nature’s Laws With Im
punity.—Last Sunday morning Rev. M. J.
Riordan, pastor of St. Charles’Catholic Church,
Pikesville, preached on the gospel parable of
the Good Samaritan, in which he dwelt at
some length on the cure and prevention of
sickness. He said in part:
“Inspire the sick man with confidence. It
is not from outside that he is to get well; not
from drugs with their temporary relief, only
to paralyze tbe patient in theend. Teach him
that be must get rich physically from bis own
capital supplied by nature. The sick man is
often sick because he is indolent. M&uy of
our women who play golf and walk and run
would not need all that exercise if they did a
little more work at home. A great deal of
sickness is due to unwillingness to practice
self restraint. I talked with a man the other
day, the foremost man in hia state, who com
plained of indigestion, and told me that he
chewed tobacco and drank whisky to relieve
it. With all his learning, he was far more
ignorant about Nature’s laws than a Choctaw
Indian or a six-year-old child. We cannot
violate with impunity Nature’s laws. We may
do so for a time, but the price she exacts is
terrible in the end.”
Lost His Watch and Money.— Abraham
Wilhelm, a farmer of Foreston, sth district,
i was robbed of bis gold watch and chain and

S2B on Saturday night while sleeping in the

i when he awoke several hours later hia prop
erty was gone.

charge to the knights was by Mr. Alex.
Mitchell and the coronation address by Dr. J.
F. H. Gorsuch. The affair was well conducted

twelve-foot embankment. Apparently he was
not injured. It is the day for improvements

gers of the transportation companies of Mary

izations in other sections to bring the farmers >
of those sections into an intimate acquain
tance with the work of the colleges and experi
ment stations of their sections, and tbe con- [
sequent improvement in their farms and in
creased production followed by the necessary
consequence of larger freight and express trans
portation. i.

bly presented we ask that a committee be ap

The Relation of Typhoid Fever and Milk.
—ln tbe last monthly bulletin of tbe State
Health Department of New York is discussed
the relation of typhoid fever and milk inspec
tion, declaring that there is misapprehension
in many minds as to milk being a medium in
the spread of tbe fever. Tbe bulletin says:
“We often find in suspected milk epidemics
suspicion directed to the cows themselves and
the condition under which they are kept and
fed These are very well to be looked after,
but cow’s milk dues not receive its typhoid in
fection in this wav, and no matter how unsan
itary their condition or poor their state of
health cows will not give typhoid-infected
milk. On tbe contrary, typhoid fever may be
’ communicated through the medium of milk
from perfectly healthy cows, kept under tbe
most sanitary conditions.
“The investigation must be prosecuted along
i different lines or the cause of an outbreak of
i typhoid fever of milk origin will be overlooked
and the remedy fail of application. It should
, be rememered that the germs of typhoid fever
are of human origin ; that if they gain access
to milk it is after it has been drawn from the
I animal yielding it, and the search for the source
of infection of a milk-born epidemic must be
prosecuted along those lines and no other.”
THE GREAT TIMONIUM PAIR.
Beautiful Weather and Large and At
tractive Exhibits—Everything at its
Best—Crowds EDjoy the Races,
the 81de Shows and Other
Diversions, etc.
Never before in the history of the Baltimore
County Agricultural Society during the twen
ty-seven years of its existence did it hold its
annual exhibition at Timonium under more
favorable circumstances than the one that has
been in progress this week. The weather,
as is usual on these occasions, could not have
been better, and besides the thousands from
Baltimore city and county who attended there
were many visitors present from other sections
of Maryland and adjoining states, all of whom
appeared to heartily enjoy themselves. Even
days before the gates were thrown open to the
public on Tuesday morning everything was on
the go about the grounds, and although 8
o'clock was fixed upon as the official opening
hour of the fair each day, there were people
up and doing with the sun. The board of
managers seemed determined to make it'the
biggest fair ever held at Timonium.
When the visitors began to pour into the
Wounds they scarcely recognized the old place.
Paint and whitewash will do wonders. They did
so at least in this case. Not a spot but shone
brightly in the sun or glowed in its coat of
yellow paint. The principal feature regarding
improvements was the grand stand recently
built. It is a commodious and comfortable
place, and, as the old grand stand had been
remodeled there was little choice between the
two. The seating capacity is now about 4,500.
Another addition since last year is the poultry
house. It is about one-third larger than the
Oh) bouse, but still is too small. The old
poultry house was turned into dog-show quar
ters, and there was on exhibition there quite a
number of the pets of the county, although
there was no competition for prizes. This was
simply the nucleus of a dog show, and it is
promised that next year this feature will be
added to the other departments.
Each day of the fair bad its own designation.
Tuesday was known as Opening Day and
Wednesday as Mayor’s Day, when Mayor
Vimanus, of Baltimore, visited the fair and
***3 given a real old Maryland dinner in
.jJbe “tent on the hill” by the ladies' com*
Imktfe, an auxiliary to the board of man
agers. It was suggested calling it Baltimore
t’iiy Bay and making it air annual feature
Thursday was Governor’s Day, when Governor
YVarfieK. was the guest of honor and his enter
tainment was also in the hands of the ladies’
committer. Friday was Children’s Day, when
every atteuion was paid them. Special shows
were giver, in the amusement booths, and a
drill for thdr benefit was given by the cadets
of the Maryland Agricultural College, who
were encamped on the grounds throughout
the week. They were utilized as guards for
the fair, and made a fine showing in their
natty uniforms of gray. They gave a drill
each afternoon. Saturday (today) is Farmers’
Day, and it is desired by the management to
have every farmtrin Baltimore county present.
In a number or the departments the exhibits
were more numeious than ever before, in fact,
■ several of the departments were running over.
The horse show was a record-breaker. The
entries were so large that it was necessary to
engage barn and stable space outside the
grounds in order to iccommodate them. The
1 display of cattle, sheep and swine was quite
extensive, comparing favorably with former
years. The poultry showed off to much better
advantage in its new quarters and was the cen
tre of attraction to many of the visitors. The
; agricultural implement ehow this year was
much more complete than in many years past.
, There was a large number of exhibitors and
-their display was quite interesting. For sev
i eral years the exhibits in thisdepartment have
been confined to a few firms. The displays of
vehicles and farm products were fine and quite
: extensive, and as usual the variety and quality
of the thousand and one things in the house
hold department was the admiration of the
women folks especially.
The race program presented each day kept
> ihe grand stands filled with those fond of that
kind of sport. The track had been resoiled
and worked down to a fine point, rendering it
in excellent condition, and some exciting
: events took place during the week. Besides
the racing, the military camp, daily band con
certs, trained dogs, daily balloon ascensions,
sideshows and fakirs galore furnished all the
entertainment one was looking for, without
mentioning the social features of the show. It
was indeed a feast for the eyes and a lesson for
the mind, and the gentlemen composing the
board of managers deserve the thanks of the
people of Baltimore county for affording them
so much pleasure. They richly deserve the
success they have met with.
The list of premiums is a very long one —too
long, in fact, for the columns of Ihe Union
at this time. We, however, publish below a

partments, viz:

Signs of Hydrophobia—Time to Look
Out. —"You can tell a good deal about your
dog’s physical condition bv the way he wel
comes you,” says an animal dealer. “You can
often tell, indeed, whether it is a case of in
cipient hydrophobia. If the dog is ill he will
greet you with some show of pleasure, but you
can tell at once from bis listlessness and the
' 'intent, yet sad expression, with which he re
gards you, that something is wrong. He will
seem to be declaring his with in you and to be
asking you to do something to relieve him.
“If, however, you find him hanging his bead,
and barely noticing you, with an evident de-
Bire that you sball not catch his eye, it is time
to look out. Put the animal under restraint at
once, no matter how fond you may be of him,
and see that he has no chance to get at you
until yon are sure. Another thing; don’t mis
take the foam which always comes from a
dog’s mouth at a certain stage of the disease
for the saliva which is to be seen in warm
weather when the animal is in normal health.

Mr Crosby on the Progress Made In
Road Building.—These are busy days with
the highway division of the Maryland Geo
logical Survey, and with the boards of County
Commissioners in the various counties of the
State, as but three months now remain in
which the building of roads under the Shoe
maker law must be completed for this year,
says the Baltimore American. This means that
all the contracts for road construction under
the law most be let by October Ist, as the bard
wintry weather makes it necessary to suspend
operations about December Ist and the County
Commissioners in 18 counties of tbe State are,
therefore, very much interested in receiving
bids upon the work which they have adver
tised.
Mr. Walter W. Crosby, State highways en
gineer, will issue shortly a statement showing
the counties which in the early part of August
signified their intention of taking up tbe
amount of the State fund for which they had
originally petitioned. Prominent in this list
will be Baltimore county, which has shown a
high degree of public spirit in the road move
ment and whicn hopes, by use of its share of
the State road fund, to considerably improve
its system of roads. In spite of tbe great dam
age caused to Baltimore county roads by recent
floods the Commissioners have gone ahead
with energy and have seized the opportunity
for taking advantage of tbe State road fund.
“The Baltimore County Commissioners have
done well,” said Mr. Crosby,“in their efforts to
build up their road system in the face of diffi
culties which they have met this summer.
During tbe July flood some 15 bridges were
washed away, and it is the Commissioners’ in
tention to replace these with concrete bridges,
following the example set by the concrete
bridge at Sherwood, which was built under my
direction several years ago. This bridge well
justified the idea of tbe builders, as in the re
cent flood it resisted the stream of water which
was swollen several feet above the bridge, and
which carried everything else away with which
it came in contact. Under tbe Shoemaker law
the Baltimore County Commissioners have
been furnished with specifications for and have
advertised for ten pieces of work, and these the
contracts for four have already been let.
“Throughout the other counties the work
will soon be going forward, as a number of
contracts have already been let, and in some
places the construction is now in progress.
There is a general disposition among the coun
ty residents to take advantage of this, tbe first
(ipportunity to place their roads upon a sub
stantial basis and only in instances where some
disagreement as to the location of the road de
layed matters has there been failure to take the
matter up. . .
“Maryland has done well in this, her first
year’s work,” continued Mr. Crosby, “and you
can say for me that I believe the spirit of the
State has been as progressive as any Slate of
this country that has undertaken State roads,
if not more so. A survey of tbe history of the
movement in other states will bear me out in
this. I believe, too, that after a few years we
will have more to show for our expense and
trouble than many larger and richer states, and
this thought encourages me whenever there is
a protest on the score of expenses.’’
