WHAT is known as the "capitation
taxi levied by the State of Maryland
on the Washington branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, amounts to one-fifth Of every
fare received by the company. At
ter paying this tribute for several
years the company demurred and
contested the matter in the courts,
which ultimately decided in favor of
the State and against the railroad
company. The Maryland legislature
now has before it a proposition for a
compromise, the company expressing
it's willingness to pay the State $25,-
600 yearly as a consideration for the
removal of the capitation tax. The
company, through it's officers had a
hearing before the appropriate COM
mittees Of the legislature on Thurs
day night, and gave several reasons
why they should no longer be COM
PEELED to pay this tax, among them
being a material decrease in the bus
mess of the road since the building
of a competing line between Wash
ington and Baltimore. 1t was also
stated that the company had agreed
to remove its depot in Washington
and build a new one costing 800, 900.

One hundred and seventy years ago
son was born to Massachusetts
tallow-chandler's wife. He grew up
an awkward lad-clothed in the re-
gal linsey-woOlsey of his mothers
loom-whose hands were redolent
with the perfume of soap and can
dles-a plodding soul that toiled by
day and studied by night. Stealing
from the hours allotted to repose, he
labored on. Companions Stunned
him because he was so dull the wo-
man Of his choice ridiculed him be-
cause he was so awkward. Yet he
labored on; he was all perseverance,
he was Benjamin Franklin. He was
q dipper of candles, a sticker of type,
maker of almanacs, an interpreter
for "Poor Richard" He never chan
ged his employment. In youth he
made light for Boston s lampless Ian
terms, in manhood he enlightened the
world. The poor printer boy to-day,
the honored of kings to morrow the
"Poor Benny" of his mother to day,
the immortal Franklin forever =
Crowns have pressed the brOws and
laurels wreathed the temples of far
meaner men. He charged bayonets
against the lightnings Of heaven and
they fell harmless and quiyering at
his feet; he wreathed garlands of
their fiery wings, and bound them
round his brow. And yet he was no
genius. Plain common sense, fixed
ness of purpose, an unwearied indus
try. an indOmitablo perseverance,. a
noble motiye-these alone were his.
