SENTENCED FOR MuRDER.-The motion for
new trial in the case of Arthur Preston, colored,
convicted in Towsontown court for the murder
of Mary Dorsey, colored, was heard in that
court on Thursday and overruled. The prisoner
was then sentenced to be hanged in Hartford
county, on day to be appointed by the Cover
nor. The crime for which Preston will suffer
the extreme peualty of the law was a brutal
one. He and the girl had been living together,
in Bel Air, but separated several weeks before
the murder was committed. On the evening of
April 18th, 1882, Preston sought the girl and
compelled her to go to his room with him.
The next morning he crushed in her skull with
an axe and then went to Jail and asked to be
locked in. He was defended, at his trial, by
Col. Herman Stump and Chas. E. Fendall,
Esq. The State was represented by Geo. Y.

attorneys, respectively, for Hartford and Bati-

President MARYLAND State Temporal
npINION
UPINIUN.
Baltimore, October 3Oth, 1882.


Mr.. WIN. DANIEL, President of the
Maryland State Temperance Alliance:
Dear Sir: In answer to the inquiry contained
in your note of to-day, have TO say: That in
my opinion the clause in Section of the Act of
1852, chap. 81, prohibiting 1.-The giving away by
any person, etc. at his, her. their or its place of
business any spirituous fermented liquors or
alcoholic bitters Intoxicating drinks" does not
debar any person from giving away such spiritu-
GUS or fermented liquors, etc., on his or her farm
or at his or her residence as an act of kindness,
charity or hospitality.
The law plainly distinguishes the act of selling
and the act of giving away spirtuous or ferment-
ed liquors. etc. While the act of selling, direct
ly or indirectly, at any place." is strictly prohb-
tied. the act of giving away" is prohibited only
at 1.-THE place of business" as store, shop, etc.
The act Of giving away, ETC., at any other place
than the place of business is not within the pro-
hibtion of the statute. Being penal statute it
must received strict and reasonable construction
and under such construction am quite clear
the section will not be held to embrace the case of
person who gave away any spirituous or fer
mented liquors in good faith and clearly as an act
of kindness, charity or hospitality, on his farm
or at his residence, and not at his place of
business" .

ITO THE VOTERS OF MARFORD COUN-
Il TY-A FALSE INTERPRETATION OF THE
LOCAL OPTION LAW NAILED

QUESTION
Baltimore, October 20, 1882.
A LEO KNOTT, ESQ, Attorney, &c.
tear Sir: 1t is being urged as an objection to
the Local Option Law for Hartford county, to be
voted on on the 9TH of November next that the
phrase or phrases used therein, (see Act of 1892
chap. 92) and which prohibits the GIVING
AWAY AT ONES PLACE OF BUSINESS ANY
SPIRITUOUS OR FERMENTED LIQUORS or
alcoholic bitters, or Intoxicating drinks of any
kind within the limits Of Hartford county, would,
il passed, prohibit any farmer or other person
from giving Cider on his farm or intoxicating IL
quors of any kind at his house to a guest or
friend, &c.
Knowing your large experience in criminal
practice and the able and efficient manner you
discharged the duties of States Attorney for
Baltimore City for three several successive terms
and total period of twelve years, desire your
opinion upon the proper construction of these
words in this law, and especially whether they
are susceptible by any fair construction of the
Interpretation put upon them as above named.-

Longevity Among the Rich and the
PeOr.

Baron kolb, of Germany, has recent
~ given some interesting statistics con-
corning the comparative vitality of chill
dren under various methods of feeding.
OF 100 children nursed by their mothers
only 1872 died during the first year; of
those nursed by wet nurses, 29.:j5 died;
of those artiticially fed, 60 died: of
those brought up in institutions. so died
to the 100 Taking 1000 well-to-do
persons and LOCO poor persons there
remained of the prosperous after five
wears. 9i3, while of the poor but 600
remained alive. After fifty wears there
remained of the prosperous 557 and of
the poor only 2SS. At seventy wears Of
age there remained 235 of the prosper
Gus, while the number of the poor vet
living was 65. The average length of
life among the well-to-do was found 10
be fifty years and of the poor thirty-two
years.
These figures are greatly at variance
with received opinions upon the sub
ject. II has long been supposed that
the children of the poor are, as rule,
longer lived than those of the wealthy.
Baron kolb's facts show that the reverse
Is true. The author gives some reasons
for this marked difference in point of
vitality between the two classes. The
chief of these is among the poor 1.-THE
anxiety of providing for bare subsist-
ence. and the lack of proper sanitary
conditions and of such food and cloth
