AND MARYLAND PHONEB._*gJ The secretary of the State Game Commie, sion of Pennsylvania wants the Legislature to pass a law to pay a bounty for the scalps of the ordinary house cat. He says these felines are the greatest destroyers of bird life in the world and he goes in for the extermination of the entire cat family. He says that until this is done the birds will not be safe. Gen. Murray Vandiver, of Harford county, was on Wednesday re elected by the Legisla ture Treasurer of Maryland for the fifth con secutive term. This is an unusual honor and one that is no doubt deserved by Gen. Vandi ver, who has not only been a faithful official, but has been a valuable man to his party in the management of its affairs as chairman of the State Central Committee. At Danville, Illinois, a few nights ago t William JeDDings Bryan spoke on “The issues of the Hour” and among other things said that Joseph G. Cannon would be the Republican nominee for President this year and that be (Bryan) will be the Democratic nominee. Mr. Bryan said there is not a plank in the platform laid down at Chicago in 1896 but is stronger now, and that there is not a plank in the Re_ publican platform of that year but is weaker. Rev. James A. Kaye, pastor of a Presby terian Church at Wheaton, 111., has been con victed of makiDg spurious coins and sent to the penitentiary for two years. Molds of counterfeit dollars, half-dollars, quarters and dimes were found in the cellar of a bouse oc. cupied by him. The minister’s defense was that he had the molds to make medals for Sunday school pupils. It was brought out ( however, that Kaye’s son had attempted to pass spurious coins. Mr. James R. Randall, known and loved by thousands of Marylanders because of bis authorship of the song, “Maryland, My Mary land,’’ died suddenly at his home in Augusta, Ga., on Tuesday, from an attack of congestion of the luDgs. James Ryder Randall was born in Baltimore, January Ist, 1839, and after reaching manhood engaged in journalistic work In which he continued many years. His last visit to Baltimore was during Old Home Week and he remained there until the first week in December. Nearly one hundred and seventy-five per sons—mostly women and children—lost their lives by the burning of Rhoade’s Opera House, in Boyerstown, Pa., on Monday night last. A moving picture show was being given for the benefit of a Lutheran Sunday school when a tank containing some liquid used in the show exploded. This caused a panic and in the rush that followed coal oil lamps that were used for footlights were upset and exploded and the oil set the building on fire. Most of those who lost their lives were trampled to death. Boyerstown, which is about 19 miles from Reading, has a population of less than 3,000. Nearly every bouse in the town is in uiuuiuiug. au no v arm instances enure fam ilies—father, mother and several children— were lost in this terrible catastrophe. The chief matter of interest in connection with the sessions of the Maryland Legislature this week was the election of two United States Senators. On Tuesday Hon. William Pinkney Whyte was chosen for the short term, which ends March 4th, 1909, and on Wednesday Hon. John Walter Smith was chosen as Mr. Whyte’s successor. The Republicans in the two houses voted for Gen. Felix Agnus for the short term and for Judge Motter, of Frederick, for the long term. Mr. Whyte received every Demo cratic vote in the Senate and House, while the vote for ex-Gov. Smith was divided between Messrs. Smith and Warfield, the former re ceiving 59 votes and the latter 18. Before the vote was annonneed the name of ex-Gov. War field was withdrawn and the vote was made unanimous for Mr. Smith. Congressman Talbott, of Baltimore county, was.not put in nomination. Congressman Talbott, thejeader of the Bal timore county Democracy, has put himself on record as favoring some legislation in which many thousands of Marylanders are much in' JecestecLjust now. In an interview in Baltimore a few days ago Mr. Talbott said: “There is a public demand for a corrupt practices act. Such a law would give a poor man a fair chance to run for office. As it is now, the rich man has the advantage. What the people want is good government. We have been giving them pretty fair government in the State and county. If the people don’t get good government,'they will rebel and vote theother way. In the county we have tried to select good candidates, and they have been elected. Of course, all this proposed legislation is in tended to improve the government, if possible. We are having pretty good government as it is; but, as I said before, a corrupt practices act would give the poor man a better chance.” The Baltimore city grand jury, in its re port to the court, took a hand in the discussion of the high liceuse question that is now going on. It said: “It is our belief that a higher license law, equal to thatiobtaining in other large cities, should prevail. This would un doubtedly lessen the number of saloons and be of great advantage to our city. Under present conditions it is very difficult to obtain evidence in the reported violations of the Sunday liquor law, and in most cases prose cution is productive only of the perjury of the witnesses summoned. We would earnestly indorse the recommendations so often made by previous grand juries, namely, the passage of a law requiring saloons to remove blinds and all other devices which present a clear and unobstructed view of the interior during pro hibited hours.” Those people who favor local option are violently opposed to the high license idea and will do their best to defeat it. As a matter of fact they are opposed to license of any kind, high or low, taking the ground that the business of selling liquor should not be legalized. Attorney-General Straus is the author of the corrupt practices act which was introduced in the Maryland Legislature this week. It is said to be a most drastic measure and for this reason may meet with no little opposition. Mr. John P. Poe, one of the leading Demo, cratic lawyers of the State, in discussing this bill said: “The enactment of this bill, in my opinion, will leave the vote-buyer in Maryland without an occupation. It will, I am con vinced, effectually put an end to bribe-giving and bribe-taking. It will change political con ditions in Maryland by removing money as a factor in politics. The bill appears to me to be more drastic and rigid than any other corrupt practices act that has beeD suggested. It does, I believe, provide for the legimate expenses, but it leaves no loophole for raising a large campaign fund with which to corrupt voters, and it Is so constructed that men who violate the provisions of the bill by either contributing money or receiving it in any except the legal way and to the authorized persons run the risk of being branded as criminals, fined or im prisoned. I think the bill, if it becomes a law, will be as effective a measure as could be de | vised.” If this bill will do all that Mr. Poe claims for it we earnestly hope it may become I a law. Correspondence Baltimore County Union. THE PARCELS POST. Rayville, Md., January lltb, 1908. Editori Union:—la a former article it was stated that the United States postal rate on a package carried from Baltimore to Towson is 6,000 per cent, greater than is charged by the German government for a package carried to the extreme end of the Austro-Hungarian em pire—a distance of about 1,300 miles. The United States Postoffice Department lim its the weight of a package of fourth-class mat ter to four pounds, and the claim has been made that the Government is losing money by carry ing that class of mail matter at sixteen cents per pound; and this claim is made in spite of the fact that for over twenty years it has been carry ing packages of periodicals weighing up to two hundred and twenty pounds for one cent a pound. Many publishers do not even take ad vantage of this rate in sending their publica tions to the distributing agencies because the express companies take this business awayfrom the Postofflce Department at the rate of from one-fifth of a cent a pound for nearby-by ship ments to nine-tenths of a cent a pound to Chi cago and Bt. Louis. About seventy per cent, of the periodicals shipped from New York to the distributing news agencies are sent by Merchants’ Despatch and other slow express companies, because the Gov ernment rate of ODe cent a pound is too high. The rate from New York to Boston and Balti more is about twenty cents per hundred pounds, and on a shipment of 10,000 pounds the publishers save eighty dollars out of every hundred by not using the Government service. In Great Britain a package weighing up to eleven pounds may be sent anywhere in the united kingdom for twenty two cents, and a package weighing two pounds for six cents. The receipts from this branch of the British postal service for the year ending in March, 1906, were $10,690,000.00, and the number of par cels carried was over 101.000,000, at an average cost of about ten and three-fifth cents per par cel. During the period of sixteen years—from 1890 to 1906—there was an increase of 136 per cent, in the number of parcels carried, and an increase of 125 per cent, in the receipts for oarry ' log the same. This vast system of parcel carriage is said to have not reduced to any considerable extent the business of the railroad and express com panies and is held to be a new convenienc created for the public, the value of which can hardly be estimated. In Great Britain, as in the United States, the railroad and express companies are lined up against the people, and the British parliament like the United States Congress, has members who have no objection to the railroads getting the larger portion of the postal receipts, and consequently the railroads get fifty-five per cent, of the money paid for carrying parcels sent by mail; and although the business is not profitable to the Government it has been of great benefit to the people because it has com pelled the express companies to make reasona ble rates or quit business. The extreme length of Great Britain is about 600 miles and it is not expected that our Post office Department could serve as large a terri tory as the United States at the same rates that are charged in Great Britain; but by dividing 1 the United States into three postal districts, each district could be served at a moderate increase over the British rates. The first district could be formed to include the states east of the 1 Mississippi river. The second and third districts could be formed including the states west of the Mississippi river, and the boundary between the second and third districts made between the States of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas on the east, and Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico on the west. All matter now rated as fourth-class, as well as books, seeds, Ac., could be carried at the rates named in the following table without any great detriment to the express companies or loss to the Government: rates for parcels post.

The Baltimore Club, a leading social or ganization that some time ago purchased from the Abell estate the fine property on the north west corher of Charles and Madison streets, has elected me louowing o cere for the ensuing year : President, Charles Morris Howard ; vice president, Judge James P. Gorter ; treasurer, Robert W. Smith ; secretary, Charles B. Reeves; governors—Dr. Hugh H. Young, Robert W. Smith, Francis G. Riggs, Charles B. Reeves, Judge James P. Gorter, Joseph 8. Ames, Mor ris Whitridge, J. Walter Lord, J. L. Blackwell, Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs, William M. Manly and J. Henry Ferguson. The present home of the club is on Charles Btreet just north of Read. The lively contest over the control of the Third National Bank of Baltimore ended on Tuesday in a complete victory for the friends of Capt. R. M. Spedden, the president, who was opposed by Mr. John F. Sipple, a former cashier of the bank, and his friends. The Spedden party voted over 800 shares of stock more than their opponents. Capt. 'Spedden was re-elected president of the bank, and Mr. Robert H. Smith, the well known attorney, vice-president. Mr. Sipple is a director and vice-president of the First National Bank of Catonsville. The sewers and gutters of Oklahoma were flushed with newly-brewed beer when the branch of the Anheuser-Busch Company pour ed into the street 2,300 barrels of the foaming beverage, as it bad not matured enough to be salable before the new prohibition law went into effect. Hundreds of persons scooped the beer from the gutters and carried it away in all sorts of receptacles, while some lay upon the Bidewalks and drank from the rushing torrent. ___ On New Year’s eve culminated a unique movement for industrial temperance when a pledge of total abstinence signed by 25,000 em ployes of the Northwestern Railroad went into effect. It started among the employes after it had been made known that the management was selecting the drinking men for dismissal in reducing the force. The Masonic Temple, a very imposing building located on North Charles street, Bal timore, was completely gutted by fire a little after 4 o’clock on Friday morning, January 17th. The loss is very heavy and there is in snrance amounting to $300,000. This building was destroyed by fire once before—on Christ mas day, 1890. It is pointed out that if each inhabitant of the United States will save 5 cents a day for one year the total will be $1,551,250,000. As somebody would have to pay for the children it might be necessary to call on old bachelors to make up the deficit at the end of the year. A man at Richland, State of Washington, claims to be making an average of $4 15 a day from less than 500 hens. It takes good general ship to manage so large a flock, but the strictly fresh egg is advancing all the time in the esti mation of consumers. Alliances of American fortunes with im pecunious princes, counts and earls have al ways proved disastrous. The money might better be devoted to hospitals, libraries and the good roads movement. In Texas a man who refused a SIO,OOO check was paid in silver dollars and carried the money to a bank fifteen miles distant. There are people who favor such business facilities until they try them. The Fall River cotton mills are not com plaining of hard times. Their dividends for the year are 10.97 percent., and the wages are the highest ever known in the business. Uncle Sam’s available cash balance is $270,- 000,000. A rainy day needing a bigger roll would call for an ark. Slack Up, Pleaae.—Messrs. William P. Cole and T. Scott Offutt, representing the Tow son Improvement Association, lately called upon County Commissioners and asked that signs be placed outside of Towson warning automobiles to keep within the speid limit of six miles an hour in passing through the town. They have submitted the following as the limits of the town and proper placts to place the signs: West Joppa road, opposite the resi dence of Mr. N. D. R. Allen ; East Joppa road, where the road intersects the Limekiln Bottom road; Dulany’s Valley pike, opposite Num : ber's blacksmith shop ; York road, bottom of | Sandy Bottom hill; Hi lien road at South ave nue; York road, opposite Aicburth Park en trance ; New road, from Lover’s lane, at Wood bine avenue; Chesapeake avenue, opposite the home of Mr. Stebbius. The Dangerous “Parlor” Match—An Effort to Get Rid of It.—State Fire Marshal Mac Gill will have offered uMbe present ses sion of the Legislature a bill to prevent the sale of any kind of matches except those known as the “safety match.” He has issued the follow ing bulletin on matches: In Maryland carelessness with matches dur ing last year fired 146 buildings and burned to death eight children. The “parlor” match in common use is the greatest convenience and the greediest incen diary ever invented by man. In the State it causes 10 per cent, of all fires. The Chicago report shows 21.4 per cent. If all the people were taught the dangers from this match the present enormous fire loss from them, of which each producer pays a part, would be reduced to almost nothing. But teachers who warn against the fire dangers in this life are few. The dangers of the “parlor” match are manifold. In each 100 match fires, 41 are from flying match beads or glowing sticks thrown into rubbish. The greatest Dumber of match fires occurred in the cellar; the next largest by the use of a match to illuminate a closet The sparks or hot sticks of parlor matches started destructive fires by igniting six carpets, five pieces of clothing, six bed covers, six lace cur tains, five couches, two mantel draperies and two baskets of clothes. In seven cases the fire started from a match being trod upon, and in two from the match box falling. The name “parlor” is given to all matches except the “safety,” which are made without sulphur, thereby avoiding tbe odor given out by the “lucifer” match, which it drove from the market. Salpeter is little used, becanse it adds greatly to the danger of manufacturing. The sulphur match does not snap and fly, but its odor bars it from good society. The head of the sulphur match has no sulphur in it. A solution of sulphur is used to impregnate the stick. It is too slow in lighting for tbe nervous Ameri can’s use. The sale of the parlor match should be pro hibited. This would be no hardship to manu facturers, because safety matches, which can be lighted only by rubbing them on the box, are made on the same machine. Installation of Encampment Officers. — The officers of Ridgely Encampment, I. 0. 0. F., of Towson, were installed on Monday night. The ceremonies were in charge of Grand Patriarch George C. Tracey and the frand officers of the Grand Encampment of laryland. P. G. Patriarch Fred. A. Groom, of Baltimore, who is a member of Ridgely Encampment, also assisted in tbe installa tion. After tbe close of the Encampment Mr. Tracey entertained his associate grand officers and other members at the Smedley House, of which he is proprietor. The officers installed were : Chief patriarch, Caleb C. Carman ; high priest, Amos W. Tra cey ; senior warden, Andrew S. R Qrason ; scribe, William Grason ; treasurer, George W. Seipp; junior warden, William Bowen of S ; marshal, Charles E. Treadwell; outside senti nel, Edward C. Carroll; inside sentinel, Bal lard Torbit. Ridgely Encampment enjoys the distinction of having two grand patriarchs following each other and now has two grand officers—the grand patriarch and grand marshal. Six of the grand officers of tbe Grand En campment live in Baltimore county, and while some of them are members of city Encamp ments, their homes are in the county. Pastor Gets a Present of Cash.—When Rev. S. M. Engle, pastor of White Hall Pres byterian Church, arrived at the church door last Sunday afternoon he was met by Mr. Cbas. , H. Wise who presented him, on behalf of the congregation, a parse of money. After Mr. Engle had preached be extended his thanks to 1 the congregation for the gift. Tbeannual con gregational meeting of the church was held and Messrs. John H. Seitz, R. H. Wiley, Sara i uel J. Jones. John F. Wiley, H. P. Burns, H. M. Foster, Charles H. Wise, 8. W. Black and W. E.
