ALDERMAN MAcKEY is the right man in
the right place, and appreciates the con-
dltion of the city, and the extortions of
the water-works Company. His reso-
luton introduced in the Council, yester-
day, that committee be appointed by
the Mayor to inquire into the cost OF the
Holly System of Water-wOrks for cities
OF 10000 and over, in order to crafty
the wishes of large portion OF taxpay-
ers OF the city. And his statement that
in his opinion the city should own the
water-works is the echo Of very great
proportion of the people. This is the
beginning Of the agitation of this very
important question, and Mr.. Mnckey
will find that he has struck keynote,
that will find response in the minds Of
all. The city has waited long for such a
move, and they will see that 1t is not ig-
nored In the future.

NEW York Tribue says: when des-
pots find instruction near, they get up
foreign wars. President Cleveland finds
his party about to rebel against his
policy. The party.wants debased money,
but the President knows that would lose
New York. The party wants spells for
the visitors, complete prostitution Of
the public service to the uses of party
without disguise. But that would insure
defeat, Insurrection threatens, and
therefore the party ruler will declare
war. The declaration of war on the
protective policy has gone forth"

CANNOT BE SUED.
The AttOrney-General Says that the State Is
Not Liable for Personal Damages.

A convict who was recently released from the
prison at Michigan City has threatened to sue
The State for damages on account of injuries he
received while at work. In anticipation of the
suit the Auditor of State submits to the Attor-
reygeneral the question. us the State liable for
damages for injuries to convict in State
prison. arising from defect in an implement
nsed by him in the course of his employmentF'
In answer to this question Attorney general
Eord says: 1.-THE State is not liable to any &C
tion in the courts for the recovery of damages.
It may sue, but cannot be sued. The fact that
the State cannot be sued and coerced by action
III its courts, does not necessarily settle that
party has claim against the State. 1t is
proper to suppose that the State will satisfy by
proper legislative action, any justclaims against
it. For an injury of the kind recited in your
question, if jurisdiction was conferred by law,
upon the:courts to hear and decide lawful claims
against the State, the State would not be liable
The doctrine of respondent superior does not APP
ply to the State. and if it did convict does not
come within the rule Of respondent superior be-
cause he is not voluntary serv ant for hire and
reward, nor is the State his master in any ordi
nary sense The State is not affected
by the misfeesance, willfulness, laches of or I'M
authorized exercise of power by its officers"

Ridpath and Charles E. Matson, on the 5th of
last July. Olds died, and now Ridpath and Mat
son bring suit against the association, Henry
Leabo and Stonzo B. Odds to protect their inter
ests In the complaint filed yesterday, they

Ermina venteroli, whose performan-
ces q dozen years ago a. q famous
daucer, filled play goers 10 every city

At a performance 10 Philadelphia
theatre she was suddenly striker
with paralysis while on the stage. -
Since that time her story has been as
melancholy as any presented 10 the
pages Of fiction. In her present filthy
abode there lives also an old mother
who was the faithful companion of
her daughter during the days Of her
triumph as she now 10 when all that
is worth living for is gone health,

though mistress of half a dozen lat
guagcs she is unable now to utter
word; her utterance is only confus-
ed babble. In the days Of her prime,
she was handsome, with flowing
raven locks, deep aud lustrous black
eyes and that classic face which
grows to perfection only beneath
Italian skies. Size Is only thirty -four
years old, yet all her upper teeth are
gone, through the effects Of medicine.
In the height OF her success she was
regarded as handsome and was popu-
larly known as "The Black Rock. y
She was born in Bologna and educa-
ted in Paris. There as In the other
principal cities of Europe her successes
were as marked as 10 this country.

Annapolis. Nd. July %. I8S


THE people of Maryland, in common
II. with their fellow countrymen. have
heard with deep concern of the long sui
fering and the fatal illness which has ter
minated the life of the soldier, statesman
and pa riot, GENERAL q. s. GRANT. They
syinpathize fully and very deeply with
the devoted wife and sorrowing family
in their bereavement, and but one feeling,
that of pure and simple sorrow- pervades
all sections and classes. Henceforlh his
enemies will revere his memory for mag
nanimity in the hour of his triumph; his
friends for his fidelity to convictions and
devotion to his country's call. In defer
ence to sorrow so general and sincere,
all state public Offices will be closed and
their bushes suspended On the day Of
the lamented dead's funeral, and the peo-
pie are requested to repair to their re-
spectlve places of worship and engage
in services appropriate and befitting the
sad and solemn occasion.
