LINES OF JUDGE BATEMAN.-A correspondent
writing from Towsontown to the Baltimore Sun,
under date of March 1lth, says
Persons living in this neighborhood were
much surprised and shocked this morning by a
report that Judge Bateman had had a stroke OF
par .ysis aud that he was confined by it TO his
room in Belair, and that it is thought that be
will probably never be able to sit on the bench
again 1t is much hoped that this report is IN
true Judge Bateman has made many friends in
this place by his pleasant and courteous deport-
ment towards all with whom bis. Business and
social relations bring him in contact"

NEW SCHOOL BILL The Committee on Educa-
aiOn in the Maryland House of Delegates, on 10th
inst, reported bill recommending the appoint
ment of State Board of Education from among
the county Examiners and the Presidents of the
county Board vfCommissioners. The bill author
lies the county Boards to settle all cases of ap-
peal, and provides that they be elected by the
people. The school district Boards are to be ap-
pOiaied by the Board Of Commissioners. The
Board is also Authorized 10 appropriate TO the use
of the colored schools all the money the colored
population pay as school tax and to assist them
beyond that in their discretion. These are the
main differences between the provisions of this
bill and those of the present law. Some of these
alterations steps forward, but we should pre-
fer TO have the county Boards abolished as we
suggested some weeks since in editorial upon
school system We think this mere ap
pendage and of little use.
The provision for coored schools is one for
which we feel gratifed we think it creditable
to Democratic legislators, but we claim it is not

Commemorative Committee of the House of
Delegates appointed to take into consideration
the retrenchment of county expenses, got those
of Baltimore county slightly mixed. We last
week corrected that part in reference to the
Judges of the Orphans Court, and now, in JUS
tiee to the Commissioners, we are compelled to
correct another error into which the committee
have fallen. They state that the Commits
siouers of our county received $3.50. Out OF
this amount, however, the bailiff and night
Waterman are paid, which very materially re-
duces the amount received by The Board.

smile of welcome that has accorded most har-
moniously with the gay winter dresses and

THE NEW KING OF SPAIN-The Italian
prince just elected 10 the throne of Spain is
the second son and third child of King Victor
Emanuel, of the illustrious House of Savoy
His full name is Amadeus Ferdinand Maria,
and he has for some time held the title of
Duke of Aosta. He was born on the Both of
May, 1916, and is therefore little more than
twenty-five years of age. He has already held
the positions of Lieutenant-G General and chief
OF brigade of cavalry in the Italian Army
and Vice Admiral of the navy. Three years
ago he married the Princess Maria of Cister-
ma, and one son, born last year is the fruit OF
this union. The Prince aud his wife have
the reputation of being moral and domestic
and popular among their own people.
The form of accepting the crown has to be
to be gone through with, but it is known that
he has been ready to assume the duties OF
royalty if called by the Cortez to do so. The
title of the new King is matter of specula-
ton. Amadeo l, would have the advantage
of novelty, but if the new King chooses to use
his second name he will ascend the throne as
Ferdinand VIII.

ecutive brain. Her machinery of government

A COLLEGE Row.-Last week the Fresh.
men of Williams College had their regular
"pow-wow," and after it the equally regular
brush with the Sophomores. The Sophie
mores posted themselves in one of the college
buildings, and as the procession of freshmen
passed them, soused them with some dozen
buckets of water. Naturally enough this re-
ception excited the Freshmen, and they made
a desperate effort to reach their enemies.-
During the melee which followed some twen-
ty panes of glass in the Greek recitation room
were broken, and one of the combatants quite
badly hurt. The next day two Freshmen
were summoned before the Faculty, and in
formed that they had been seen in the "pow-
WOW" and breaking glass afterward. They
did what few other men in College would
have done, honorably acknowledged having
participated, and were "rustcated." Their
classmates, unwilling that two men should
suffer for all, sent in paper, containing the
names of all who were implicated, but the
Faculty took not the slightest notice of this,
saying that these men were only seen in the
"pow-wow," whereas the two men had been
seen breaking glass, and must be suspended
for it. The faculty are denounced for the in
Justice of their action.

PRACTICAL EcoNoMY.-From statement
prepared by Treasurer Spinner, which will &C
company his report to Congress, it appears
that the total increased receipts and decreas-
ed expenditures of the Government amount
during the past year to sos, 1929 80. Refer
ing to this gain the Treasurer says:
In order to explain more fully to such per-
sons as are not in the habit of thinking of
money by the millions of dollars, the great
saving that has deem made to the Treasury of
the United States in the last fiscal year over
the one preceding it, the statement is here
made that after dedudcting fifty-two Sundays
and four legal holidays from the 365 days, 300
executive days remain in the year, in which
time the saving of sos, 734 ,O2O 20 was made
that the average saving on the working days
of the fiscal year that closed with June 80,
1870, over those Of the year preceding, was
over 1925, 440 per day, being over $9,26S
$9,26S per hour, and over 1854 per minute,
being more than equal to the extra dropping
of So 40 into the Golfers of the Treasury in ev-

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A National Medicine.

One can hardly pick up newspaper or turn a
street corner nowadays that he does not find,
staring him in the face, the announcement that
Prot so-and-so has just discovered medicine which
is panacea for all the ills that flesh is, or may be
heir to. These "wonderful" discoveries usually
have an existence Of few months then disappear
from public notice. The reason for their sudden ex
tinguishment is apparent They were humbugs.
At the outset all medicinal preparations have an
equal chance for success, as all equally unknown
but the chaff is soon winnowed from the grain by
the practical test which an unpre udiced public ap-
plies to all things. There but few preparations
of medicine which have withstood the impartial
Judgment of the people for any length of time. One
OF the few which we have now in mind, and which
has been for long time familiar to every house,
hold in the land, is the celebrated Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Their almost universal sale and
use, and their emphatic endorsement from all por-
tions of the country, that they
must be specific fer the ailments for which they
are recommended. Letters before us attest their
efficacy in diseases Of the throat, bowels and liver
In that truly terrible complaint, dyspepsia, they
are regarded as a sure cure. In Pittsburg, where
these Btters manufactured, their sale for home
use is immense. This tact alone speaks volumes in
their favor-Ertracfs from the Muscafine Courier.
