THE BALTIMORE american is about to have
placed in its office one of the most wonderful
machines of the present age. 1t is called a Hoe
perfecting printing press and is capable of turn
ing out niaety-sir thousand impressions in an
hour! 1t is claimed that this is the fastest print
ing press in the world. 1t is most marvellous
machine and only shows what the ingenuity
of man can accomplish. The cost of this press
will be something like $4,000.

The MARYLAND Oyster Navy, one of the big
gest humbugs of the present age, is cutting a
very pretty figure just now. Nearly every day
it is having tilt with illegal dredgers, in every

nice fat offices attached to it, the ''fat'' being
fried out of the taxpayers to keep the thing

PREPARATIONS FOR the inauguration of Pres
ident-eleot Harrison are going forward rapidly
in Washington. Organizations from different
sections of the country are already applying
for quarters in that city, and it is believed the
coming Inauguration will be the largest and
gFandest affair of the kind ever seen in the
Nations Capital. Maryland will be well repre-

THE ANNUAL meeting of the stockholders of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company was
held on Monday when the following gentlemen
were elected directors for the ensuing year:
Charles f. Mayer, James Sloan, Jr., VIM. f.
Burns, Decatur H. Miller, VIM. H. Blackford,
Aubrey Pearre, George Deb. Keim, Wesley A.
Tucker, Maurice Gregg, j. Wilcox Brown,
William G. Atkinson and William +. Prick.
The new directors are Messrs. Pearre Keim,
Tucker, Gregg, Brown, Atkinson and Frick,
succeeding Messrs. VIM. Keyser Geo. w. Dob
bin James Carey Coale, Jas. L. McLane, Geo.
A. Won Lingen, John Gregg and Robert Garrett.
JOHN w. KELLY, of Philadelphia, who built
a motor that wouldn't mote, has at last reached
the end of his tether. By pretending that he
had an invention that would revolutionize the
motive power of the world he managed to ex-
tort thousands of dollars from too confiding
public but he has not yet succeeded in demon
strating to his deluded company that the ma
chine is worth cent. The stockholders of
the company, having become slightly weary of
Mr.. Keely's promises, have had him arrested
and he is now in Jail.
In PHILADELPHIA a few days ago Frank E.
Pooley obtained verdict for $4,000 damages
against the Phila., Wilmington and BALTIC. Rail-
road Company for injuries sustained in col
lision on that road during the blizzard of last
March. The defense of the Company was that
the accident was unavoidable and due to an act
of God that the engine of the train on which
the plaintiff was passenger was frozen up and
could not proceed, and that the engineer of the
colliding train was unable to see on account of
the flying snow.

SOME ENTERPRIsING newspaper correspondent
has set afioat the story that Senator German is
engineering plan to make President Cleve-
land president of the BALTIC. & Ohio Railroad
Company when he retires from the White

as there is in nine-tenths of the other stories
going the rounds of the newspapers at present.

Hon. WILLIAM ID. BURCHINAL, State Senator
from Kent county, who has been prominently
named as the successor of Hon. James B.
Groome as Collector of the Port of Baltimore,
a few days ago expressed his opinion of the
policy of the new administration as follows:
''President-elect Harrison will give the country
q conservative administration. There will be
no unnecessary haste in Selling the spoils of
office, and competent incumbents will be al
lowed to fill out their official terms. Unless
the present Collector of Customs resigns of his
own accord, there is not likely to be any change
until his term expires" The commission of
Collector GroOme does not expire until some
time in 1890. Therefore if what Senator Burch-
inal says comes true, those who are looking
out for places will have long time to wait
INA RECENT letter Miss Frances E. Willard,
president of the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, says she desires it to be
known that the statement so generally made
in the religious and secular press to the effect
that the W. C. 7. u. requires its members to
lend their influence to the Prohibition party,
or. if they do not, declare them disloyal, is to-
tally incorrect Members are left free as to
their political affiliations, and resolution to
the contrary was voted down, without debate,
at the recent New York convention. 1t is a
singular fact that in the late election in New
York State Miss Willard warmly espoused the
cause of Gov. Hill, who was strongly backed
by the liquor interest-Republican and DEM
ocratic-against Hon. Warner Miller, the Re
publican candidate for Governor, who made
his fight against the liquor interest and for
ballot reform. We don't know how the w. G.
7. L. can reconcile itself to this

THE KNIGHTS of Labor of Baltimore have
filed formal charges with the Governor against
Thomas C. Weeks, State Labor Statistician,
whose only business seems to be to draw fat
salary from Marylands treasury The Knights
claim that the annual reports of Mr.. Weeks
are not true statistics and they charge that he
devotes his entire time or nearly his entire
time, to the practice of law, &c. Also, that his
Office isin the interest Bipartisan politics. The
latter is no doubt true, as about the only time
we hear of Mr.. Weeks is when he travels over
the State making Democratic campaign
speeches.

the next Cabinet. Here is one of the latest

Suggestions on Wall Papering.


Papers with small-fgured designs are
the best for the novice to experiment
with. They are more easily matched
on the wall and slight misfits are not
so noticeable. A border, of course,
adds finish. and covers not few short
comines. The colors in the border
should be somewhat in keeping with
the colors in the paper. A high-ceil-
inged room will admit of broad bor-
der; a low-ceilinged room should have
a narrow border. 1t must be trimmed,
is most easily handled in short lengths,
and is pasted on after the main paper
ing is finished. Sometimes a paper
will have pattern that can be cut in
to narrow strips and used as border.
On one occasion we used a diamond
patterned paper in this way by cutting
the pattern for the border bias way of
the length.
The first thing to be done is to cut
off one of the white margins of the
wallpaper; which you cut off must de-
pend whether you determine to work
to the right or TO the left. If YOU work
toward the right. YOU must cut off the
left margin, and tace eersa. You can
measure the hight of the room with
strip OF the margin you have cut off.
See that the end of your paper is per-
fectly straight; then cut off the length
required from the top to the wainscot
of the room. Measure subsequent
lengths by the first one, being careful
to match the pattern. The short
lengths can be used over doors, win
doWs, and mantel-pieces. Spread pa

AOueer Society Found in Iowa.

al found a curious society up there
in Iowa County. They call themselves
the True Inspirationists,' and all their
property is held in common. No one
has individual possessions, and but $40
to 800 is allowed to a man and S25 to
$40 to woman for spending money or
personal emolument. Marriage lowers
the spiritual standing of member,
though it is allowed. Rule s of their
bylaws reads like this: Fly from the
society of womankind as much as pos
sible, as a highly dangerous magnet
the community has grown but little
during hundred years; they are now
about 1,500 or 1,600 strong. Their
wooden goods, and, indeed, everything
they mike, are quoted away above the
usual market price for that class of
goods. They are -eminently moral and
upright, not one single case of com
plant against them being found on the
records of the county. A rule for chill
dren is: DO not play with children of
the other sex They indulge in no
amusements. One of the head men
said to me: "A picnic is mighty poor
business Their houses are German
in appearance, warm, comfortable and
filled with everything in the way OF
eating and drinking. The dress is OF
the simplest sort, and no ornamental
ton is allowed. The women all wear
blue calico, with black wrap or cap
over the head. The horses and oxen
are too fat for severe service. Every
body takes it easy; an outsider will dc
as much as four of the community in d
day. They are winemakers, but, be-
ing first of all law-abiding citizens,
they have dropped that branch of theil
industry. They read few papers, and
take little interest in politics, but at the
test election the whole colony in "a body
voted against prohibition. The chances
that woman suffrage will ultimately
prevail has tendency to further dis.
turb them. The sexes are required al
ways to sit apart. to prevent silly
talk and because the female is dan
gerous TO the peace of mind. '"-St

Lovers In Luck.

They had to conceal their love. The
parents were solid against the match.
They selected unwonted hours and ex-
traordinary places to walk and talk.
One afternoon they had met by pre-
arranged accident, and they were going
for a walk in the suburbs. They came
up quiet street and found a whole
row of carriages, waiting apparently
for funeral. The procession was just
starting, and as they came up hack
man most politely took off his hat
and waved them into a hack. They
did not hesitate. They stepped in,
the door was closed, and away they
went. They had blissful time. The
funeral went on. The ceremonies
over they were shown into the hack
again, and the polite hackman asked
where he should drive them to. He
was told, and they were driven back
into town.
Whose funeral was itP" asked the
young lady's friend, to whom the story
had been told.
