The Washington EUening Critic says
at is learned on unquestionable authority
that the President has virtually deter.
mined upon Commissioner Eaton's sue.
cessor, and that George William Curtis
and other prominent reformers have APP.
proved the selection The announcement
is not likely to be officially made until a
bout the time Commissioner Eaton's res
ignation takes effect, November LIST. The
impression is general that Commissioner
Thoman's will be the second to be filed
and that Mr.. E. 0. Graves or some other
officer identified with administrative re-
form work from department standpoint
will be rendered the position. Commls-
sioner Gregory, according to these author
tiles, will be the last of the commissioners
to be displaced, and it will not be at all
surprising if he is permanently relieved
1t was stated at the executive mansion on
Saturday that the selection of successor
to Commissioner Eaton mad not vet been
fully determined upon.

A decision has been rendered in the cir
cult court for Frederick county, Md, in
the case of Magistrate Tyler against the
county commissioners, which may be Of
general interest. The claim of the Magis
trate for commitment Of tramps 10 Monte
view Hospital, which was disallowed by
the commissioners some time ago, was fol
$500. After hearing the case the court
allowed $87, which was deduction Of
one dollar fer judgment and ten cents fol
affidavit in each case. The court held
that vagrancy is not an offense of which
justices of the peace have jurisdiction uu-
der the act of 1880, and therefore the
charges in the bill sued for-for service
judgment and trial-could not be recover,
ed, but that magistrates are entitled to
recover for ministerial services, such as
issuing writs, making out commitments
as provided for in criminal cases under
the code.

The Atlanta Constitution notes remark
able coincidence of events in the lives of
Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln I'M
til each approaches the climaerc of his
public career. They were both born in
Kentucky. Davis in 1903 and Lincoln 10
1900 They both were removed from their
native State in childhood, Davis being
carried to the southwest and Lincoln fur
ther to the northwest, then so-called.-
Both of them began th,ir political careers
at the same period, in 1874, Davis being
then presidential electo: for Polk, and
Lincoln an eector for Henry Clay. Both
served in the Indian wars of the west, and
both were elected to Congress about the
same time, 1916 and 1916. And lastly in
the parallel, in the same year, and almost
on the same day, they were called upon to
preside over their respective governments,
Davis as President of the Confederate
States and Lincoln of the United States.

The Cecil Democrat says: "The Democ-
racy of America would stand aghast at
the defeat of Senator German upon such
a. nsatext as that put forward by these
Efore ref0rmers. IT his elevation is
too Ugh for Maryland to regard with
complacency, if not with pride, there is
not a Democratic Sac ia the Union that
would not gladly adopt him as son and
honor him for his worth in the day OF
battle. Any other State than Maryland
would be proud to call him her son, and
outside Of the mugwump Democracy of
the city of Baltimore ell true Marylanders
rejoice to do him honor"

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore american says: "Hon. Barnes
Compton is the most successful worker of
the Maryland delegation. Perhaps, his
training in public service has fitted him
for these duties. He has accomplished
more work for his constituents in the
Postofice Department than anyone else.
One secret of his success is that he knows
exactly what he wants, goes to the proper
authority, states his case, and gets it. He
bas had more pestoffices established, more
postmasters appointed and more mail ia
cilities gained in his short term of office
than many have done before him." Such
a compliment from political opponent
is rare in these days Of indiscriminate a.
buse by party hacks.

Strayed Away From Home.

An eight-year-old son Of Charles Grau, re-
siding at No. 256 West Strawberry street,
wandered away from home yesterday, and
nothing was heard of him until this morning.
The boy was last seen in the southern part Of
the city following an organ-grinder, and it
was supposed that he had been kidnapped.
Mr.. Grau was out all of last night hunting for
the child, but could learn nothing. The boy
was returned to his home this afternoon, and
his story is that he got on the cars at the
Stevens house and was taken to Quarry Vile.
There he was cared for by a !ady, and when
she learned who the hov was she telegraphed
to Mr.. Grau, and relieved the suspense of
himself and family.
A colored inmate of the Chldren's home
wandered away from that institution yester-
day, and up to O'Clock this afternoon had
not been found.

senting himself as an agent for the Standard

since where he obtained his meals, as he had
no money to pay for them. Until Of late
Mrs. Helfrich was observed taking frequent
walks to woods some distance from her
home, and upon being followed ii was dis
covered that she supplied the DOCTORS meals
from her husbands table.
The last heard of the couple was at Wash

borrow some money.

"Don't be afraid of rough roads and high

The hay is cut, but the odor fingers on the

the fields that have been harvested add to the

Greatest glory of the landscape are the trees.

stretching along the ridges for miles, they are

The picturesque elm droops gracefully in the
