DUIItWUTE DUN
If current reports are to be believed, the dis
graceful spectacle is about to be presented at An
napolis of general scramble for the plumber sup
posed to be involved in the settlement of the street
car labor controversy. The Cohesive power of
public plumber" seems to have banded together
all the political elements which have haunted the
lobby at the State Capitol throughout the winter
1t would be ludicrous if it not disgusting to
watch the antics of those who have been posing
as the champions of certain ideas in the act Of
tumbling over each other in their eagerness to
grab the largest possible share of "boodle." The
mere hint that "sugar" was to be literally provi-
ded by those who are interested in securing the
abolition of the park tax on the street-car COM
panies has been sufficiently potent to harmonic
"regulars" and "irregulars" in the twinkling of
of an eye, and to enable the lobbyists to present
a compact array of "blue spirits and gray" in de-
Tense of corporate monopoly and greed.

Where the Money Goes.
Hdgersto,cn Netcs


In conversation with farmer on Monday he
informed us that he had sold couple of fat cattle
and had received the outside price for one 81 so
per hundred pounds, and for the other SO % per
hundred. Now ifcattle are selling for that amount,
why do we have to pay 10, IL and Is cents per
pound to the butchers. There is something man.
ifestly wrong about this matter. There is no
other tradesman or person engaged in trade, that
can make euch enormous profits. If a beef cleans
500 pounds, it stands the butcher $3.50 per hun
bred pounds and he gets and average of IL cents
for it, within fraction of 100 per cent. Why
can't we have cheap meat as well as dry goods,
clothing, groceries, &c.

Lynch acted as spokesman on the occasion and
explained the needs among that growing commu-

A Nuncupative Will Sustained.-In the
Baltimore City Court on Monday the jury in the
case of Philip Rogers against Robert D. Morrison
and Ella r. Easter, administrators of James G.
Rogers returned sealed verdict for the plaintiff
in both issues, giving to Philip Rogers the drug
store known as Coleman Rogers, on the north
side of Boundary avenue, near Charles street, as
bequeathed to him by James c. Rogers by paper
writing having neither signature nor date, and
upon which the case turned. The jury found it
to be Mr.. James G. Rogers intention to leave his
brother this store. Had the death of Mr.. Rogers
been subsequent to the act of 1884 in regard to
nuncupative wills, the paper would have been of
no account, as all such wills are now declared IL
legal.

meeting was called at which the employees pre-
sented many objections, and the project was re-
modelled. Pending this remodeling the Company
agreed to assume the assessment for February and
March for all the applicants. By this assumption

(Nd.) Free Quill of last week says: "The Pixies
vile Arsenal site for an Agricultural Experiment
Station does not meet with that unanimous assent
which such an institution deserves. There is no
disputing the fact that it ought to be between
Washington and Baltimore, at the same time near
the State Capital, Annapolis. No other geograph-
ical point in the State can compare with this
stretch of country. Already money is largely In
vested in the agricultural interest at College Sta
teon. Why not add to and strengthen, rather
than start anew at the bottom round of the ladder.
Near the National Capital and its Agricultural
Department; easy of access to Annapolis; close
to the great commercial city of Baltimore, with
its four hundred thousand souls; in region that
has a brilliant future-why not locate it there,
and settle all subsequent questions of manage
ment afterwards. AS a compromise, we would
not object to Laurel"

Right and Left Handed.-A right handle,

Right and Left Handed.-A right handed
man is a man who takes hold of hoe, a rake, a
spade or fork with the right hand down and the
left hand up, nearest the body. A man who
habtually puts his left hand down or, for instance,
the man who places his right hand on the top of
a spade, and grasps the handle or rake with his
left hand, is lett handed man. And so with an
ak. A right handed man and left handed man
can work together in chopping down tree. If
they were both right handed or both left handed,
they could not do this unless one chopped on one
side of the tree and the other on the other side.
And so it is in loading earth into wagon. If
the men stand face to face one should be left
handed and the other right handed. In hoeing
a row of corn, the right handed man will walk on
the left side the row, while the left handed man
will walk on the right side of it.
