From the Chicago Mail.

The morning paper reaches nineteen-twen-
tieths of its readers and the people generally at
a time when they cannot read it. The work OF
the day is upon them. They mouth over the
paper hastily and throw it a side. Nothing is
read, only gulped down. This is dissipation. It
is unheathful to stuff the mind with unmas-
ticated food as it is the body.
The evening paper is prepared at time
when men ought to work, the time set aside by
nature for work. All the facts scrutnized
in the clear light of day. 1t comes to its readers
when the work of the day is done. 1t is carried
tothe home and read in the family circle. It's con-
tents are cOnned carefully and leisurely in the
most favorable circumstances possible to be at
tained-under the softening and elevating in
nuences of home. 1t becomes part of the
household economy to take part in the reading
OF the paper. Each member of the home circle
takes an interest in ii. The home is the center
OF the power that rules the world. 1t is to the
home the evening paper goes.

Sudden Death of Well-Known Citizen


Mr.. George M. Hiss, who was widely known in
Baltimore county, died suddenly on Sunday last,
at the house of Mr.. Henry Weirs, White Hall,
Northern Central railroad, where he had been
boarding for some time. He was in the city
Saturday apparently in the enjoyment of his usual
health. Returning to White Hall early in the
evening he ate hearty supper and retired before
o'clock Soon afterwards member of the fam
lily noticed that he was breathing heavily and an
investigation revealed the fact that he uncon-
scious. DR.. Norris was hastily summoned and
found that Mr.. Hiss was suffering from a stroke
of paralysis. He fingered in an unconscious con-
diton until noon Sunday, when he died
Mr.. Hiss, who was sc years of age, was born in
Baltimore, and was son of the late Jesse Hiss.
He spent the greater part of his life in Baltimore
county and was active in politics and business af-
fairs. He was one of the originators of the Balti
more County Mutual Fire Insurance Company and
was its secretary for number of years. He never
held an elective office, but was one of the commits
soners to divide the old almshouse property and
was at one time a justice of the peace of late
years he had not been regularly engaged in any
business but latterly had been in the employ of
Messrs. VIM. H. Hoffman & Sons and was so en-
gagged at the time of his death.
The wife of Mr.. Hiss. who survives him, is
daughter of the late William Bosley, who
prominent business man of the Sth district. One
of his daughters is the wife of Mr.. John Crowther,
Jr, special auditor of the county. The funeral
took place from his late residence, Linden avenue
extended, on Thursday last.

Something About the English Sprrow

Something About the English Sprrow.
The Frederick Citizen of last week says: "For
years past, numerous articles have appeared in
various papers throughout the country in refer
ence to the English sparrow. 1t was and is still
claimed by many that the agricuturist is greatly
benefited by the sparrow, in consequence of their
persistent warfare the various insects that in
fest the agricultural districts. Their advocates
claimed that they did not in any manner disturb
the grain or growing crops of any kind, and there
fore urged that they should be protected by law,
if necessary, as benefactors. On the other hand,
it has been stated that the farming interest has
suffered considerably in consequence of the pres
ence of the sparrow. We are now of the opinion
that the latter view is probably the correct one,
and we have come to the conclusion in conse-
auence of several investigations that we have re
Gently made. AS we were examining fine field
of wheat few days ago, we noticed that along
the fence the heads of wheat seemed to be, in some
instances, but half filled, and then again, we OBJ
served numerous stalks without grain upon them;
we also noted that the down wheat was riddled
in the same way, but to q much greater extent.
To our SURPRISE we soon found that the sparrows
were the cause of the damage, and we therefore
array ourselves, from this time on, an inveterate
enemy of the pests. That they may be destruc-
tive to insects may be true, but if it takes crop
of wheat to whet their appetites for insects, we
believe it would pay better to cattirate the in
sects"

Indignation Meeting.-In reference to a
very lbelous publication which appeared in that
filthy sheet, the Peoples Voice, published by one
William H. Richardson, assailing the character of
Judge David FoWler, the members of the bar met

foul aspersions of that irresponsible nonenity. Col
D. G.. Mcintosh was called to the chair, and Mr..
John F. Centrum was made secretary. Addresses
were made by Messrs Boarman, Burke and others.
The members of the bar present we're Messrs Tai
bott Piper, Centrum, Perrie, Fendal. Offutt Boar
man, Ensor, Mitchell, Burke and F. I. Duncan
The meeting was adjourned until Wednesday next,
at IL o'clock to act on resolutions to be prepared
in the meantime by a committee, composed of Col.
D. G.. Mcintosh, r. r. Boarman, N. Chas. Burke
and M. w. Offutt.

Greenmount Cemetery.-This beautiful
"city of the dead" was dedicated July 18th, 1889,
in the presence of the Mayor of the city, the
bers of the City Council and vast concourse of
persons of all ages and sexes. The ceremonies
were opened with beautiful choral from the Or
atorio of St. Paul, beginning "Sleepers, awake a
voice is calling" by the "Musical Association"
accompanied by a full orchestra. The Rev. Dr.
Wyatt, rector of st. Pauls Church, offered prayer
to the throne of the Most High. The prayer was
succeeded by very beautiful poem written for
the occasion by John H. B. Latrobe, Esq. At
the termination of the hymn, j. P. Kennedy, Esq,
made an eloquent address, which was attentively
listened to by the vast crowd. Another hymn
was then sung; this was written by f. II. Davidge,
ESQ.

A Lucky Emblem for the President.

A blacksmith named John Schaadt, of Allen
town, Pennsylvania, has forwarded to Mr.. Sowden
to be presented to the President as bridal gift
fine steel horse-sho 1t bears on one end the
initials &c. CO. and on the other "F. F. c." The
German word "Gluck," which means "good luck," ="
is in the centre. This is the same man who sent
the President similar horseshoe upon his nomi-
nation, for which the maker received comph-
mentary letter of thanks. 1t would seem super
fous to further fortify Mr.. Cleveland against mis-

A Serious Charge.-0n Monday last young
woman named Anna Hyles, living in Hampden,
on the Falls road, appeared before Justice Dorsey
and swore out warrant against young man
named Thomas Brown, also a resident of Hamp-
den, whom she charges with making a felonious
assault upon her. The alleged assault accurred
on Friday night of last week, on Huntingdon
avenue, at the Maryland Central railroad tunnel.
The girl went to the place to meet young man to
whom, she says, she was engaged to be married,
but instead of his putting in an appearance he
sent Brown in his place. The accused was arrested
and committed to Jail.

He Smashed the Furnlture.-WlIlamP Par-
sons is q resident of Hampden, Falls road. On
Monday last he was seized with desire to smash
things and commenced his little fun by tearing
up a lot of clothing belonging to his wife and
daughter. This, of course, was not amusing to
them and they demonstrated with him, but this
only seemed to wet his appetite for the work
and he got hatchet and chopped up the clock
and other pieces of furniture. They then obtain
ed a warrant for his arrest and when Parsons saw
two officers approaching he took to his heels and
made tracks for the woods. He was closely fol-
lowed by the officers, and number of citizens
joined in the chase, but he proved too fleet for all
of them and escaped.

KILLED. by a Car.-On Tuesday afternoon last
car No. 8, of the York road line, driven by Martin
Fugate, ran over little son of Edmund Burke,
on Greenmount avenue causing injuries which
resulted in his death in few minutes. The child,
which was only % years old, attempted to cross
the street in front of the and of the horses
struck it and knocked it down. Before Fugate
could check the car the front wheel struck the
child and dragged it some distance, injuring 1t
internally. Fugate was arrested to await the
action of acoroner's jury. Several policemen who
were on the front platform of the car at the time,
said that the accident was unavoidable and that
Fugate was in no way to blame. The jury took
this view of the matter and the driver was dis
charged.

Cutting ARRAY. "A difficulty occurred at Beck

have resulted seriously. Mr.. Wm j. Cooper, who
is the proprietor of the hotel in that place, had
been away from home attending funeral When
he returned he found several men in his house be-
having in disorderly manner. He went to John

Accident to an Aged Lady.-The mother
of Rev. J. W. Steele formerly Of this county, met
with quite a serious accident in Stafford county,
Virginia, on Thursday last. Rev. Mr.. Steele was
driving pair of horses, and was accompanied by
his wife, his mother, two children and servant
girl, and in descending a steep hill, one of the
horses began kicking, and continued until he
forced the wagon into perilous position. All
the occupants escaped unhurt except the older
Mrs. Steele, who in falling or jumping from the
carriage sustained fracture of her right leg, just
below the knee, which, owing to her advanced age,
may result seriously. Mrs. Steele lives in Balti-

This is About the Size of IT.

This is About the Size Of IE.-The Lancas-
ter (Pa) Inteligencer says: "After you get on
your ear and make up your mind to stop your
paper to make the editor feel humiiated just poke
your finger into water and then pull it out and
look for the hole. Then you will know how sadly
you are missed. The man who thinks paper
cannot survive without his support ought to 60 Oft
and stay awhile. When he comes back he will
find half of his friends didn't know he was gone
the other half didn't care cent and the world at
large did't keep any account of his movements
whatever. You will probably find something in
your home paper you cannot endorse. Even the
Bible is rather plain and hits some hard licks.-
If you were to stop your paper and call the editor
all sorts of ugly names, the paper would still be
published. And what is more, you will sneak
around and borrow copy of it every day"

Important to Merchants and Others
The law heretofore in reference to license for ira
ders expired on the first of May of each year,
and fractional part, under the old law, could be
taken out, but the rule is now reversed, and the
license is issued for one year from date of it's
issue. 1t will therefore be seen that all persons
who were in business on or before the first of May
last, and who have not taken out their license,
are continuing business in violation of law, and
are liable to indictment by the grand jury. This
matter should be inquired into by the business
community to avoid misunderstanding of the

You Can Fish on Sunday.-In reply to the
question of a correspondent whether or not it is
unlawful to fish on Sunday, the Baltimore Sun
replies as follows: "The only law on the subject
is a very old one, which provides that no person
shall permit any child or servant to profane the
Sabbath by fishing gaming under a penalty of
S. fine. Persons other than servants and chill
dren are therefore not prohibited by law from
fishing"

Sudden Death.-Mrs. George Chilcoat of
John, living near Belfast, Sth district, died very
suddenly on Tuesday evening last. Mrs. Chill
coat was visited by her daughter, who had fas-
tened her horse near the front gate. The horse
becoming frightened, got tangled in the harness,
and struggling violently, excited the old lady to
such an extent that she died in a short while
thereafter. Death is supposed to have been caus-

Suit Against Turnpike Company.-The

OUlC ABHIH5IH d I OOL1P1Iys-IH TIC
Superior Court of Baltimore city was occupied for
several days the past week in the trial of the
of Frank w. Bateman who sues the Baltimore
and Hartford Turnpike Company for S.. 600 dam
ages for personal injuries sustained at point on
that road called Cornthwaite's cuvert, by reason
as alleged, of the bad condition of the culvert.
The case was not finally decided. The company
pleaded that it was not resident of Hartford
county, where the suit was instituted, and that
the court, therefore, had no jurisdiction. The
plaintiff, by ex Judge George Y. Maynadier and
William Young, attorneys, averred that the road
extends three miles into Hartford county, and the
company exercises its corporate franchises in that
county. The issue was submitted to a jury, which
found for the plaintiff The case was continued
until the next term for trial upon its merits.
