Phoebe sat back in her chair. She had
never before noticed how personally un-
pleasant Milton McArdle could be. She did
not like his condescending kindness, and
objected to his long neck and exaggerated
lower lip. And it amused her that she in
her position could afford to be so fastidious.

Ardle, ''that Gurley has been saying some
thing to you about me-"
Phebe's smile became positive, and he

"What have we to conceal?" said Phoebe.
ssUnder the circumstances" he continued,

both alone in the world, as it were. And

suitable, but can not agree with them.

We have received from Messrs. Lombard,
Druid & Co., publishers, of Baltimore, a copy
of Mr.. John s. shriver's novel almost" The
plot is laid in Italy, and was written from
notes and incidents gathered by Mr. shriver
during his tour of Europe last summer. He has
drawn very vivid pictures of the scenes, Gus
toms and people of Europe, and his book will
certainly interest. MIR. Shriyer is a native of
Hartford county, and for many years has been
connected with the Baltimore american, both
as reporter and correspondent, and is consider
ed one of our brightest young journalists. Mr..
shriver has written great many short stories
for newspapers and periodicals and almost"
is his first attempt at novel.

The Republican platform and Republi-
can speakers and newspapers are sadly out
of tune. The Chicago platform declares
that no part of the protective system must be
surrendered and that the reduction needed In
the revenue must be effected by abolishing
the tax on whisky and tobacco.
The New York Republicans adopted u
high license platform and nominated high
license candidate.
Mr.. Blaine, who absorbs almost all the
honors in the Republican campaign, wrote
thus:
81 would not advise the repeal OF the
whisky tax. There is a moral side to it. To
cheaper the price Of whisky is to increase
its consumption enormously. There would
be no sense in urging the reform wrought by
high license in many States if the national
government neutralzes the good effect by
making whisky within reach of every one
at twenty cents gallon. 1t would destroy
high license at once in all the States"
Col. Bob Ingersol, the noted atheist
made speech at q Republican meeting in
Saratoga, in which he declared unequivocally
for free whisky and tobacco
Again, the platform declares that the Re
publican party is opposed to "all combina-
tons ofcapital, organized in trusts or other
wise, to control arbitrarily the conditions Of
trade among our citizens"
Mr.. Blaine again defends trusts, declaring
that they are private matters with which
President Cleveland nor any other citizen
has anything 10. He will not admit that they
are disadvantageous 10 the people.
In recent speech in Maine, Mr.. Blaine en-
deavored to to explain away his unfortunate
speech in which he half apologized for and
defended trusts He now says that the sub
iect oftrusts has no place in national cam
paign since they ale corporations created by
State laws. Perhaps he will explain this
more clearly, for trusts would have no exist
ence were it not for the high tariff which
keeps out competition and enables the men,
bers of a trust to charge what they please
for their goods.
Chairman Quay, the head Of the Republi-
can campaign committee, should admOnish
his band to keep better time and tune, SO that
the people may know what they are trying to
play

Brannan escaped. Eek was buried alive but
was rescued, bruised aud mangled, after two
hours and a half of hard work. Strange TO
say no bones were broken.
The loss will amount TO over a million dol
lars. Among the heaviest losers are Dobler
& Nudge, wholesale paper dealers, whose es.
tablishment was burned to the ground and
their stock of $4,000 is total loss This
firm, one of the best in the city, has supplied

getting public road from Shandy Hall gate to
the Meadow Farm gate 1t is very much needed
The road is only mile long and the first road
asked for for twenty five years. in this district
1t will cost the county very little to give those
people road and let them get out without cross
ing three or four OF their neighbours farms. Mr..
Daniel b. Chesneys horse got frightened, on
Tuesday last, at MIR. H. c. Nelson's canning
house, and ran away, breaking the buggy and
giving the venerable old gentleman a severe

SHOOTING AFFAIR AT EDMONTON Last
Saturday morning, about four O'Clock,
Levi Cox, colored, tenant on Mr.. Isaac Amoss
farm, at Emmorton, was shot and severely
wounded by colored man named Henry BOYD,
who had been employed by Mr.. John Porter, in
the neighborhood, by whom he was discharged
for nsolence He then engaged board with Cox,
and, 1t is said, paid improper attentions to Cox's
wife. About ten days before the shooting &C.
Cured Cox ordered Boyd TO leave. He went
away but returned at intervals, greatly to the
annoyance of Cox. On Friday night he came
again and refusing to go away when ordered
to do SO by Cox, the latter put him out and clos.
ing the door held it to prevent Boyd's return.
Boyd then went to an open window, near the
door, and reaching inside, fired at Cox The
ball took effect in Cox'S right side, SCATTERING
one of his ribs and penetrated into the cavity of
the chest, carrying with it some pieces of the
broken rib. DR.. X. D. Lee dressed the
wound, which is very serious and will proba-
bly, prove fatal.
Cox is an elderly and respectable man. A
warrant was issued for Boyd's arrest, but Sheriff
Hughes was unable to find him. 1t is said that
he returned to Cox's house on Saturday night
to get his clothes, but was not allowed to take
them away. Boyd is from Alabama. His re
| putation in the neighborhood of Emmorton is
not good.

The Teachers Institute which is in session
In Bel Air, this week. has been exceedingly
interesting. Many practical suggestions
were brought out in the discussion of the
various subjects, and the familiar talks with
teachers by Professor and Mrs. NJ. A. New

Others were very instructive. The attend
ance has been unusually large. OF the 50
teachers in the county 81 were in attendance

TO theFarnerS Of Hart0rdC Co.

The season is now upon us for Fall Seed
ing and consequently the proper time 10
purchase your Fertilizers. Have you con-
sidered this matter carefully If not it will
pay you to do so, and before buying pound
learn what is the Fertilizer to use to bring
desired results, both in grain and in produc-
ing large and lasting crops OF grass. If you
will look into the merits of our
SPECIAL COMPOUND
which was offered to the Farmers several
years ago, you will find it proven by actual
tests made by the leading farmers of Hartford
and Baltimore counties, 10 be the most de-
slrable Fertilizer on the market, even better
than others that cost much more and il Ia
| further shown by the sales which are now
more than 800 per cent. greater than they were
| the year we introduced it.
What fertilizer is there now on this market
that has stood such test rs our
SPECIAL COMPOUNDf
Many new brands of Fertilizers have re-
Gently been sold and proven nearly worthless,
or 1t not quite so, at least very little good has
been derived from their use and certainly
not worth the money paid for them and
alter short life they disappear.entirely or are
possibly revived under new name. We use
nothing, even in our cheapest Fertilizers, but
what is fertilizer ofitself
We have by much expense and great care
secured formula that is giving grand results
and it is paying those of our patrons who use
1t greater profits than any other Fertilizer ex-
tant. Our
SPECIAL COMPOUND
VIII bring better crops, and is more lasting In
Its effects than Fertilizers now offered, as 1t
has for its base
PURE DISSOLVED RAW BONE.
which is so high In percentage that 1t makes
composition rich in ingredients and per-
manent in its benefits.
Our object in emphasizing our
SPECIAL COMPOUND
IS to draw our farmer friend 8 attention to
flrst-class article, at the same time we want
them to know that we also manufacture a
Raw Bone of prime material in its natural
state
GUARANTEED TO BE STRICTLY
PURE,
and our usual standard Soft Bone and Ami.
