rural young man forms an appetite
for other drinks. He goes to the
city and marries the lady who has
started him in his ruinOus career.
The splendid mansion, inherited by
the young lady, becomes involved
and is lost to the now confirmed
drunkard. The "Blue Ribbon move
ment" strikes the community and
reformation takes foothold in the
humble home. There is enough
wit in the play to make it highly
amusing, and the person to whom
it is assigned knows what he has to
do and how to do it. We doubt if

The Office of Attorney General
is one of the most important in the
gift of the people. The beginning
of every prosecution depends upon
his honesty, its management upon
his ability, and it's conclusion upon
his judgment. Every witness sum-
mOned for the State, or discharged
from further attendance, must be
done by his order. Every bill of
cost paid by the county or state
arising from criminal prosecutions
passes under his supervision, and
must be approved and certified as
correct by him, before it can be
paid out of the peoples tax monies.
In fact, he is the peoples agent and
the servant of the State. A mis-
take in his selection can not be cor
rected for eight years.
The great majority of the COM
mon people, the honest people, and
the tax-paying people, are for H. B.

Last year, our society issued a
circular letter to every church and
Sabbath.schOol in the county, i'm
which the claims of the society were
set forth, and asking for an annual
contribution for the same. Up to
this date only one church has been
heard from. AS our annual meet
ing takes place on the fourth Sab
bath in this month, it particularly
requested that every church in the
county send in their contribution

of measures have been introduced
each proposing a plan for settling
strikes. The gentlemen who have
presented these bills are now fear
full that the Labor committee will
refuse to report some of them. The
majority on this committea1is OPP
posed to any action by Congress
looking to the legislation Of arbi-
tration between railroad compan-
les and their employees.
Said Gen. Weaver of Iowa, who
is strongly opposed to federal arbi-
trament, "The bills on this subject
are all clap trap. l do not use the
word in an offensive sense" con-
tinued he, "but we have laws now
State laws and National laws-that
cover everything there is to cover
in this matter" He wanted to
know how the judgment of an arbi-
tration board could be enforced.
You cannot compel men to 60 back

their own accord, and he held that
tribunal could not be created to
try the case with thousand men

given by the committee for not in.
GLIDING this work in the bill this
year, is that the title to the Flats

ney General, although he has been
frequently called on by Congress,
has never given an opinion on the
subject.
Nearly a million dollars has al
ready been expended on this work,
and the engineer in charge of it
says, If it stops, but short time

WASHINGTON, D. c.,

April I'd, 1886.
In the early part of the week the
Administration threatened to break
down physically. While Secretary
Manning was still lying at deaths
door, the Attorney General and
Secretary of the Interior were also
taken sick. No sooner had Messrs.
Garland and Lamar reached a
state of convalescence than the
Presidents private Secretary was
stricken with Neuralgia. Secre-
tary Manning's friends are still ap-
prehensive about his recovery. The
paralysis has partially disappeared
but the patient not gained strength.
He is restricted to diet of beef tea
and milk for the purpose of reduce
ing his weight.
1t is said the worry of the Tele.
phone investigation has a good deal
to do with Attorney General Gar
lands indisposition. He has not
said a great deal about the Tele-
phone troubles, but he has been
greatly annoyed over them, and
when he has diseased them, it has
been with evident disinclination.
Labor questions have been dis
cussed in Congress this week, and
there is much diversity of opinion
among Congressman in regard to
the practicability of legislation with

Sale of Real Estate and Other Items.
Mr.. johnnie E. Beasman, our late popular
member of the House of Delegates, has pur-
chased from Postmaster Brown slice of his
Springfield Estate. The land Mr.. Beasman
secured lies west Of the road leading from
Sykesville to Eldersburg, and adjoins the
Springfield Institute. 1t measures 125 acres,
and is in high state of cultivation, being
some of the choice farming land of this
fine estate. The price paid was $50 per acre.
Mr.. Beasman will soon be firmly fixed, as he
has decided to pitch his tentin the field of his
friends. He has already awarded the contract
for the erection of fine mansion on the prem
Uses to Mr.. Johnnie Selby, of Eldersburg The
residence, when completed, will be an orna-
ment to the neighborhood, as money will not
be spared in its construction, and it will be in
keeping with all modern improvements for
elegance and comfort. A commanding site
has been chosen, the ground broken, and by
Christmastide Mr.. and Mrs. Beasman expect
to occupy their new home. Mrs. Beasman,
who is a cousin of Mr.. Frank Brown and a
popular lady in the ueighborhood, will be
warmly welcomed by her many friends here.
The Shipley Brothers have dissolved part

chased the Armour property, near Eldersburg,
containing 123 acres, for 800.
DIR. D. B. Sprecher has purchased one OF

and has it tastefully ornamented with lightning
rods. The Doctor will shortly ornament the

A telegraph station on the B. & o. has been
established at Gathers Siding, with a day
and night operator. The signal post has been
removed there from Sykesville. This move
ment most effectually abates the blowing
nuisance at this place, and makes the mer-
chant and traveller more secure; 1t also gives
our agent more time to attend to his poultry.

K, of Philadelphia, will appear at Odd Eel
lows Hall, this city, next Friday night, in
his matchless entertainment entitled Ninety
Minutes in Kweer Company" Mr.. Duane is
a gentleman of education and culture, and as
a humorist and character artist is unexcelled
by any we have ever heard. There is ninety
minutes of solid fun. for all who go to hear
him, and there is nothing in his entertain
ment to offend the most fastidious, as is some
times the case with humorists.
Messrs. Mitchell and Kuhns propose, ii
Mr.. Duane's entertainment is well patron
lied, to conduct series of entertainments
during the winter months, similar to those
conducted by Messrs. Merrill and Vanderford
last winter. They are in correspondence with
amusement and lecture bureaus now, and
will endeavor to secure some first class talent.
If possible they will introduce Sauahbrah
here again. This Burmese humorist and lee
turer has been back to his native country this
year, gotten fresh material, curiosities, &C.,
and is now making tour of Europe. He will
arrive in this country about the first of No
vember. 1t is proposed, also, to engage the
Rock Band Concert Company, whose delight
full concert here last winter is SO pleasantly
remembered, and another concert company,
and to present one or more of the best hu-
morists and elocutionists of the day. They
want to have four observation-disclosures a

can leave their names at the ADVOCATE Office.

Railroad Consolidation.

The stockholders of the Baltimore and
Hanover Railroad Company met at Hamp-
stead, this county, at 10 o'clock last Saturday
morning and unanimously voted for the con-
solidation of that road with the Bauchman' S
Valley and the Hanover Junction, Hanover
and Gettysburg railroads, the three lines to
be hereafter known as the Baltimore and
Harrisburg Railway Company. The stock
holders of the original roads will receive stock
of the new company share for share for their
former holdings.
The object Of the consolidation just accom-
plished is to place the lines under the manage.
ment of the Western Maryland Railroad
Company, which will also control the propos-
ed extensions. By this arrangement there
can be had new line to Harrisburg. The
construction of three miles of road and the
building of bridge are contemplated to af-
ford connection with branch of the Reading
railroad and route to the capital of Pennsyl-
vania independent of the Northern Central,
yet one that will traverse rich and populous
country. The Western Maryland Company
will take charge of the Baltimore and Har-
