Social Topics,

-Eyory one who Uses the street cars knows
that great change has been wrought in the
custom of gentlemen getting up to give ladies'
seats. 1t is no longer custom. In every
crowded car, I'VE speak, now, particularly of
Philadelphia gentlemen will be seen sitting
while ladies are standing. The Baltimore Anltri.
can is panied at this change and says Be
cause a woman, weak-baeked generally and
weak-brained sometimes, forgets few words OF
ciyihty, must man neglect the respect due always
through mothers and sisters to all women? In
New York and Philadelphia, gentleman seldom
yields his seat to lady, unless she is young and
handsome but it is q good old Maryland custom
that we hope to see retained"
A Cincinnati woman SAYS never knew
but one woman in my life who chose TO MAKE
her husbands shirts and confessed she hke3
to do it, and she had nothing else TO do, could
leave them at any moment, had some one else

The Fire, This Afternoon.

BURNING OF THE soRREL HORSE HOTEL STA
FLAMES UNDER CONTROL
Shortly after o'clock, this afternoon, fire
was discovered in tho stables connected with,
and in the rear of, the Sorrel Horse Hotel, l0i
W. Front St., occupied by Horny Bradley. The
building was n two story frame, the upper story
being filed with hay, in which 1t is supported a
passing engine deposited shark which WAS
famed into a flame by the wind, which MAS blow
ing freshly from the West.
The fire burned very rapidly, and commnnca-
ted to the building, which was soon in hames.
The fire companies, however, were quickly on
the spot, and confined the flames to the ono
building, but tho wind hore the flying embers to
adjoining roofs and for time II serious conia-
grafton was threatened. At one time Haughey
& Ferry's roof, In Front street East
OF Market; the roof of Grubb's He
tel, at Front and Market the roofso Bucking-
ham n Co. g store, at Front and Orange, and the
roofs of several other buildings were burning.
but direction Of portion Of the streams from
the engines coon suppressed the fire III these
places and averted any serious disaster.
The furniture and contents were all removed
from the adjoining buildings, and in some i'll
stances was pretty badly broken. The build
ings were also saturated with water and some
what damaged in this way. All tie horses il
any were in the stable at the time were gotten
out in safety.
Tho entire loss will probably not exceed 81
600. The building in which the fire originated
was the only one seriously damaged. 1t il tsts

John NJ. Clayton is the original commission is
sued in 1882, by John Penn, Thomas Penn, and
Richard Penn, sons Of William Penn, and the
then proprietaries of Pennsylvania and the
three counties on Delaware" to the commission

lands and Lord Batimore's grants. 1t recites
she disputes and conflicts which had prevailed,
ss to boundaries, and it shows exactly, by map
in its margin, the lines which had been agreed
on between the Penns and Lord Baltimore.
This old document is well preserved, and the
map is fresh and clear some of the lines on it,
in red ink, being as bright as if drawn but yes

This commission was originally in the office Of
the Secretary OF State, at Dover, and as appear

NAMED there as late as 1888. 1t yery probably
came into John NJ. Clayton's hands, at the time
OF the Pea Patch" arbitration, in 1917, as it is
referred to in the proceedings there, aud partic-
ulsrly cited in Mr.. Bsyard's argument.
It r,sy be added that the lines recited in the
commission were ultimately run, but not until
much more litigation, dispute and delay. The
commission issued in 1882, and Mason and Dixon
made the surveys and set the line stones, in

A writer in the st. Paul Press tolls new story
Of Horace Greeley. Horace wrote note to a
brother editor in New York, whose writing was
equally illegible with his own. The recipient OF
the note not being able to read it, sent it back
by the same messenger to Mr.. Greeley for eluci-
dation. Surprising it to be the answer to his
own note, Mr.. Greeley looked over it, but like
wise was unable to read it, and said to the boy :
