An old gentleman named Dent died
some years ago in Georgetown. d. G.,
but before his death he requested his
children TO erect church TO the
memory of his father who had been
the first principal of Charlotte Hall.
Tse church is built OF Cheat river stone
at cost Of $1,000, and the corner
stone was inserted yesterday. The
edifice is nearly completed. The
windows are mostly memorials Of the
Dent family. 1t will be fitted up
with ash pews. cushioned. and appro-
pirate chancel furniture. Mr.. T..
Buckler Ghequier, Of Baltimore, il the
architect, and Mr.. A. NJ. Carroll, the
builder. Surrounding the chapel are
the graves Of many of the family.
whose names it is built in memory Of.
among them being the Rev. II. Dent.
the first principal Of Charlotte Hall
School. who filed that position from
1895 to 1899.
During the war the United States
government seized the guns in use at
Charlotte Hall for military purposes.
The State Of Maryland subsequently
made a reonisition on The government
and was paid for the seizure bu. it
has never replaced the guns, and the
students are compelled to use those
Of an obsolete pattern, which would
be Of no practical benefit in case of
emergency and are misleading as a
means of instruction. Governor Ham,
ilton will be asked to replace them
by guns Of a modern pattern, and the
well -wishers Of the institution are
hopeful that he will comply with the
request. Among the prominent per-
sons present were Colonel john II.
Southern, the oldest trustee of the
institution, DR.. John N. Broome, Col.
John. F. Dent. Joseph Fl. Key, Hon.
r. G. Combs, Capt. Geo. Thomas, DR..

Col. Southron delivered the diplomas
and DR.. Lancaster. of Charles county,

exercises closed with a grand ball at
night, at which Weber's band, from
Baltimore, furnished the music. 1t

The total number of manufacture
ing establishments in the United
States is 253,S52, with capital of
$5,770,272,605. These industries en-
ploy 2,738.865 hands, two millions of
which are male adults. The wages
paid is 1914 ,953,795 The value of
material used is 1896, 1923, 449, pro-
ducing S., ,579,lSl. This leaves
clear profit to capital, after wages
and material are paid for, of 81, O24.-
S0l,S47, or 43 per cent. on capital
invested.
What per cent. do the landowners
and land-renters of st. Mary's make
upon their investments? We declare
without fear of contradiction that,
though working hard and living hard,
more than half of this class is going
behindhand every year, and this be-
cause they are taxed by the present
tariff an average of SO per cent. on
nearly everything they eat and wear
and use on their farms in the way of
agricultural implements. No won
der the manufacturing monopolist is
making money and the defenceless
land-worker is becoming bankrupt.

The CHoLERA.-The spread Of the
cholera in Egypt is becoming serious,
the daily number Of deaths at Damiet-
Ia being in excess Of hundred a
day. From Damietta it has extended
to Port Said and Mansura. and. al
though no cases are yet reported at
Alexandria, it is not improbable that
some exist there. Certain il it that
the Europeans are fleeing in great
numbers, and that a veritable panic
exists. The Egyptian authorities
have taken measures TO form sani-
tary Gordon around the injected places,
but from the way things are managed
in that country no confidence is placed
in the arrangements. Even if it were
more strict that Il can possibly be, il
could hardly prove a barrier to an
enemy that rides upon the air
Whether this country will be visited
by this malady this summer is yet &c

even if it il to be. it must arrive toe
late for much harm to be done, but
the fact is. with the present facilities
for travel all over the world. it may
descend on our shores at almost any
moment. There is evidently great
alarm in Europe, and England is de
scribed as the only country not tax.

Charlotte Hall Academy on Thurs
day last, we transfer 10 our columns
the report of the affair which we find
furnished by a correspondent Of the
Daily Ne,Os, Of Baltimore, which is Of
last Fridays date, taking the liberty
to somewhat condense it.
Charlotte Hall was founded in
1918 under the auspices of the Church
Of England, but long before this date
the virtues of its magnificent springs
we're recognized by the colonists under
Lord Baltimore, and the sick were
sent to this spot for the recovery OF
their health, led thereto doubtless
by the Indian tradition of its healing
qualities. From its halls have gone
forth many Of Maryland's most dis
tinguished sons. among whom may be
mentioned Chief Justice fancy, the
great jurist.
"The commencement, which took
place yesterday, was one of the most
brilliant affairs that has ever taken
place within the walls of the institu
ton. The relatives and friends OF
the graduates were present in large
numbers. A number of the old
graduates of the school of many
years ago were also present, and
seemed to recall with pleasure the
recoslections of their school-boy davs
ia this old institution. Nine Young
gentlemen composed the graduating
class and received their diplomas as
follows: G d. Lancaster, Warning
Thomas, ]. +. Shemwell, Theodore
Smoot, VIM. Penn Compton, Frank
K sech, w. S. Bowen, T. NJ. Carpen-

'One of the most attractive features
OF yesterday commencement exercis-
es was the competitive drill between
the two companies. A and B. Both
had been splendidly trained under
;he command of Captain Sylvester, a
graduate Of Lexington Military Insti-
tuition, and it was difficult for the
committee, composed of General JAS.
X Herbert. Captain Walter Mushat
and Captain Thomas. to decide which
exeelled in military precision aud
soldisrly bearing. 1t was at length
concluded that company B, CAPTAIN
Bowen. was entitled TO the gold med

Postmaster General Gresham is
about to issue an important order rel :
alive to forwarding of newspapers to
their destinations. He will call at
tention to the fact that numerous
cases Of carelessness are being brought
to his attention, and large number of
complaints filed that postal employees,
break the wrappers containing news
papers and are not particular wheth-
er they reach their destination or
not. This the Postmaster General
says, is all wrong. A newspaper is
just as sacred as any other package
entrusted to mails for Save delivery.

judgement for Money Cannot
be Secured Against u State

WASHINGTON, December AIN the Su-
preme Court to-day decision was rem
dered in the case No. II, George A. Gun
ningham vs., the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad Company, ct al, appeal from
the Circuit Court Of the United States for
the Southern District of Georgia. This
was suit upon series Of bonds Of the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad Com
pany, amounting in the aggregate TO
100000, which had been endorsed by the
Governor Of Georgia, under authority of
the State Legislature. In 1873 the rail-
road company failed, and the interest Of
the State created by its endorsement
of these and other similar bonds, seized
the road in 1875. The State by an act
Of its LegislAturelrepudiated its endorse
ment on 100000 OF the bonds. Herein
was the controversy, but Il confirmed it
by the purchase Of its right 10 the road,
and made provisions for the payment Of
another earlier series Of bonds, which also
bore its endorsement. The present suit
was brought by one of the holders Of the
10000 series Of bonds against the Gov
ernor and Treasurer of the State and
others, TO test the question Of the States
liability, and 10 obtain relief bill, was
dismissed in the court below on the ground
that II was virtually suit against the
State, and the State was not and could not
be made q party TO 1t.
This Court comedies in that view Of
the case, and says; Whenever il can be
clearly seen that the State is an indis-
pensable party TO enable the Court Ac-
cording TO the rules which govern ia
proceedings to grant the relief sought, the
Court will refuse to take jurisdiction in
the case. The State of Georgia is an in.
dispensable party; it is, in fact, the only
proper defendant. No one sued has any
personal interest in the.matter, or any
official authority TO grant the relief asked,
No foreclosure suit can be sustained
without the State, because she has
legal title 10 the property; and the pur-
chaser, under the foreclosure decree,
would get no title in the absence of
the State. The State is in actual possess
sion Of the property, and the Court can
deliver no possession TO the purchaser. The
entire interest adverted 10 the plaintiff is
the interest of the State Of Georgia In
property of which she has both title and
possession, on hypothesis that foreclosure
by the Governor was vOlid. The trust,
it is asserted by the plaintiff. is vested in
the State as Trustee and not in any of
the officers sued No money decree can
be rendered against the S:steior against
its officers, nor any decree against the
Treasurer as settled in Louisiana 70
Jumel. If any branch of the State Gov
ernment has power to give the plaintiff
relief, it is the Legislature. Why is it
not sued as body, or its members, by
mandamus to compel them to provide the
means TO pay the States endorsement
The absurdity Of this proposition shows
the impossibility Of compelling the State
to pay its debts by judicial process. The
decree Of the Circuit Court Is affirmed

Harlan and Field asserting.
