Gambling j ndge Richie, in charging
the Grand Jury of Frederick county, spoke
of gambling at Agricultural Fairs as fol-
lows:
ITO guard the rising generation from ac-
quiring the taste which feeds this blighting
spirit Of speculation, our duty is to enforce
the laws enacted to suppress the opportuni.
ties of forming it. And here | feel it my
duty 10 say that the law makes no distinc.
ton between a faro table in curtaned
room and gambling device on Fair
Ground. Of the two, in practical results,
the latter is the worst. The former ia fire..
quented by limited number, aware of its
nature and generally already addicted 10 its
pursuit; while the latter is exposed " great
numbers who were never before in range Of
its Vaccinations. Through this exposure
many a country youth, and town boy rs
I well, who otherwise would never come
within its temptations, becomes tainted with
4 the love of chance winnings, and may in
consequence graduate a confirmed gambler.
| am glad 20 learn that after the observations

Undermined 10 Danish from its precincts,

Mr.. Urner Makes a DeniaI.-Rep


sentative Urner has been besieged during
the past few days by architects, builders
and contractors TO build a new house for
him on lot in the fashionable part of the
city, which it has been stated that he has
recently purchased. Speaking about it to
the correspondent of the Sun, Mr.. Urner
said: "This is the cruelest joke that has ever
been played on me. have not bought any
lot, and of course do not want to build
any house. ! never thought OF such a thing,
and how the statement happened to be made
do not know. | do know, however, that
there have been lot of people after me
during the past three days-architects with
plans, builders with estimates, others who
want the job of digging the foundations,
men vino want the contract 10 furnish me
with brick, stone, lumber and things in that
line. 1 am sorry have had to decline tIieif
numerous offers. During my congressional
career | have had more than my share of
persons running after me for office, but this
new demand on me is just Il trifie more
than want to stand. | close my congress
sional career in a couple Of weeks and will
settle down in my home in Frederick City
and pursue the practice of my profession

in any shape and devote myself entirely to
law. My people were kind to INC and am
thankful, but intend to close mp on poh-
tics. But would like 10 know the man
who started the story about me buying a
lot, just the same. ! would send these arch-
tects, contractors, builders, d., after him
and see il he would enjoy the fun. have
had enough of it, WASH C0r. Balto SIM.

V'es'y Best Lime

for Agricultural and Building purposes
During the busy Lime season of the
Spring it has heretofore been difficult for
Farmers to secure the Lime as they de-
sired it. We feel sure that our extern
sivc works will remedy this, provided
the Farmers ,oW send us IN their orders
during the meet thirty days, so that we
can put them on file to be filled as they
may wish. This we guarantee to do,
viz: To fill all orders on II notice OF As
hours, it the engagements are made with
us NON by the Farmers, as suggested.
Whilst the freight from Martinsburg
will be slightly more than from Fred
erick county, this excess will be deduct
ed from Lime Bills, making the net cost
of Lime the same rs from Frederick
county.
Soliciting liberal share of your pat
ronage, and guaranteeing satisfaction in
quality. and in every other particular.
we are. very respectfully.

AN EXHlLERATING EXPERIENCE.
A Drive Several Miles Long, Behind
Fast Team.

Nothing can be more ex hilerating
than drive on a level road, in bra
cling atmosphere, behind pair of
fast trotters evenly matched as to gait
and speed; and anybody fortunate
enough to secure such treat remem-
bers it for years. This reporter is one
of those fortunate individuals.
A few days ago G. p. Croy drove
up to the door Of the TINES Office
with his spanking team composed of
the glossy black trotting mare Hoos-
Ter Girl and Sorrel Billy, PAGER with
a record of 2:2lt, and invited the
reporter out for drive. The invita-
ton was accepted, and the team
started Deer Creek way.
The houses of Haley were soon
left behind, and the team, which had
been held in, was given the reins.
The smclter, ranches and other land
marks disappeared in rapid succession,
and the mouth of Deer Creek was
reached. Vcering round, the team
was urged to its best and, at speed
of 2:35, reached the outskirts of
town, where it was slowed down to
about three-and-a half minutegait. At
the southern extremity of Main street
the team was again put on its mett!e,
and, the road being exceedingly level
and hard, very fast time was made.
This continued for over an hour, when
the TINES reporter was returned to his
sanctum, temporarily happy man.
The team is for sale.

very clearly shows which way the
wind is blowing. The St. Johns
Guild, which every year gave one Of
the famous Martha Washington Re-
ceptions, has this year decided to give
no public entertainment. The truth
is, society has had SO many private en-
tertainments this winter that the par
Elephants in them seek rather more
rest than additional excitement.
Apropos Of the Milwaukee hotel fire,
our building inspectors are actively
engaged in examining every public
house of comfort 20 see whether the
means of escaping from fire are ade-
quate. Now, according to the state
ment of one of the inspectors of the
department, every one of the big car
avansaries is dcath-trap in case of
fire, but the system of vigilance inau-
guratcd in the leading establishments
is calculated to reduce the danger
from flames to minimum. Only
about three weeks ago fire broke
out III one of the most fashionable no.
tells in upper Fifth avenue. One of
the pipes was overheated, which set
fire to the flooring and then to the
carpet in one of the rooms. The por-
tiers, headed by the engineer, who had
been we'll drilled, went to work with
an energy which produced the best re-
suits. In ten minutes they had ripped
the burning floor up and in half an
hour the flames, which might have
caused dreadful loss of life, were
extinguished. The hotel people were
anxious to keep the matter out of the
newspapers, and this statement here is
the first that has appeared regarding
the occurrence. l shall not mention
the hotel in question, but it is in Fifth
avenue, not very far from Central
Park.
A Catholic priest of my acquaintance
had an amusing adventure in street
car the other day. He is one of those
few clergymen of modern days who
remain poor because they find so much
misery to relieve. He was riding in a
street-car on his way to sick call.
In his overcoat pocket he carried a
large memorandum book. Beside
him sat a gcntlemanly looking man
who was busted with a newspaper.
All of sudden the man arose and
went to the back platform, as if to
leave the car. Not long after the
priest left too. AS he arose he found
that his pocket book was gone. Much
chagrined, he yet could not hel p feel
ing amused over the prospective dis
comtiturc Of the thief, because he
knew that the book did not contain a
cent of money. He turned into the
street, when much to his surprise a
man who followed him, tapped him
on the shoulder, and handing him his
book, remarked, "Sir, excuse my
friend, here is your book. 1t is all a
mistake. There is nothing in it,
and abruptly fastened away.
