The Presidential Succession.

The United States stands, for the first
time in its history, with d single sound
life between the government and an in
terregnum. The constitution provides
that Congress shall designate the officer
or officers on whom the executive power
shall devolyc upon the death Of both
President and Vice President. Early in
the history of the government. in 1872,
Congress provided that the President
pro teDt. Of the Senate and the Speaker
of the House of Representatives shall
hold the Presidency III succession. Neith-
er OF these officers now exist. The last
President Of the Senate, Senator Thur
man, retired at the close of his term in
March, and the deadlock In the Senate
over the choice of officers during the eN-
ira session prevented the election of Il
successor. Speaker Randall's term ex-
pired with the close of the 10th Congress
and the House in the 18th Congress has
not yet met. Neither the President pro
tem of the Senate, however, nor the
Speaker can hold the office of President
permanently. The President of the Sen
ate, or in his death, disability or absence,
the Speaker, retain the office until new
election can be held upon the proclama-
ton of the Secretary OF State for the re-
mainder Of the uneXpired term. If the
first Wednesday in December is more
than two months distant, choice of Prcsi-
dental Electors is required to be made
within 81 days before this date. The
statute passed in 1872 specifies a number
of contingencies in regard to this election
and provides for them: but the non-eX-
istence of a President was not foleseen.
He was the first officer elected under the
federal government, John Langdon hay
ing been elected to this office on the or
ganiZation of the Senate in 1880 before
the electoral vote for Washington was
counted, and it was naturally thought
the Senate, permanent body, would
never be without a presiding officer

A Reminder of the Past.

The Baltimore Ereaing Ne,es of 18th inst, says
"Mr. Jesse S. Hunt, of TowsontOwn, yesterday
sent to the members of No. 2 engine company, on
Barre street. through Chief Engineer Hennick, a
handsomely framed list of names of the officers
and members of the Washington Hose Company
in 1923, printed on satin by John d. Toy. corner
of St. Paui's lane and Market street. The officers
of the company then were Jesse Hunt, Gather of
the donor president; John L. Reese, vice-pres-
dent Edward J. Richardson, secretary; and
David NJ. Brown, treasurer. Ofthe seventy three
active members at that date, only four or five are
now surviving, among whom are Hon. Joshua
Vansant and Mr.. Ephraim Larrabee. The house
of the company was located on Lombard street,
between Sharp and Liberty. In his letter Mr..
Hunt says: GAS No. Engine Company original
ed from the Washington, l take great pleasure in
presenting it to them, with my best regards. "
Among the active members of the company whose
name appears on the list was the late John S. Git
tngs Mr.. Hunts father, Jesse Hunt, was pres-
dent of the company for twenty-five years, and
was also at ole time mayor of the city.

Street Car NuiSanceS,

The following, from Erery Saturday, applies
with as much force to horse railroad it does
to the city street cars GAN sorts of small foles
and selGshnesses show out in the street cars.
There seems to be no end to the variety and ex
tent to which people may make nuisances Of them
selves. For example, there is the old party who
comes out of his house after the car he wants to
take has passed by, and calls after it and stops it
when it is half block away, and walks up and
gets in with great deliberation. 1t is not possible
to see this without noting on the face OF the old
party secret joy at the irritation and delay That
he is causing to Others Then there is the market
woman that ,cW hold her basket in her lap to the
great discomfort of the people ON both sides. 1t
is not pleasant to have bloody meat and fish and
sauer kraut held up to ones nose, yet this is what
the neighbors of the old lady have to endure.
Then there is the who obeys the rule that for
bids smoking by bringing the stump of his cigar
into the car and letting it go out Even very
bad pipe does not offend the nostrils quickly as
a cold cigar stump. Then there is the lady, who
spreads her skirts space enough to make two
seats and Who nevertheless, will not move even
to give another lady seat by her. The man
with wet umbrella always dabs it against the
other passengers, until he finds one with low
shoes on, and then he fills the shoe neatly with
the small stream that flows from the nozzle-and
then begs pardon. Then there is the man who
stands up without holding on to the straps and
who is constantly losing his balance and prom
enading over the corns Of his fellow travelerssOr
sitting down on the most adjacent lap. There is
the lady who makes maternal love odious by seek
ing to concentrate the attention of all the passen
gers to her baby. These only few of the
varieties of street-car nuisances. They are ex-
haustless There is no need to continue them in
our neAt"

Excitement About Bcdr.--A few days ago
there was considerable excitement in this neigh
bOrhoOd caused by rumOr that black bear had
been seen on the farm of Mr.. ii. ii. Carroll. TWAS
concluded to institute hunt for the animal and
accordingly a number of men assembled at Hart
mans shops armed with SEINE of the best guns
this section produce. Work was suspended
at the shops and all eager for the hunt. The
guns were loaded to their full capacity, some with
buckshot and others with slugs and balls. About
this time Mr.. John Turnbaugh rode up and in
formed the crowd that the animal had crossed his
place he had seen it with his eyes and it was
unquestionabiy large black Newfoundland dog.
This broke up the proposed hunt and the boys
concluded to have little target practice. Mr.. A.
Hartman struck the "bulPs eye twice at dis
Z lance of 131 yards. Charles Lee declined to shoot
because, as he stated his gun was only single
barrel and he would not run the chance of strain
ing it by shooting at such distance.

Death of a Prominent Merchant.

Mr.. Robert A. Fisher, one of the most widely
known and highly esteemed merchants of Balti-
more, died at his residence in the city, on Friday
morning of last week. Although he had been in
delicate health for some years yet his condition
was not thought to be critical and his sudden
death was a great shock to the mercantile COM
munity Mr.. Fisher was the eldest son of the late
James I. Fisher, of this county, and was born in
Baltimore January 9th, 1888. Upon completing
his education, when 20 years of age, he entered
his fathers countng-room. Soon after, with his
brother, he entered the firm of James l. Fisher &
Sons. This firm, founded in 1919, has continued
to this day, with several changes in its title.
Always actively interested in the commercial af-
fairs of Baltimore, Mr.. Fisher at the time Of his
death was president of the Board of Trade chair
man of the harbor and river relief board, director
of the Merchants National Bank and vice pres-
dent of the Maryland Club. During the-past few
years he baS been especially active in endeavor-
ing to revive the lost sugar interests of Baltimore,
and was chairman of nearly all the Baltimore
delegations that went to Washington for that pur-
pose.
Mr.. Fisher married Miss Emily Preston, daugh-
ter of the late DIR. j. Alexander Preston, of Har-
ford county, and sister of j. Alexander Pres
ton ESQ.,, a well-known member of the bar, who
survives him. The funeral took place from St.
Paul's P. E. church., Sunday afternoon, and was
very largely attended by prominent merchants and
professional men.
