PRor. RICHARD 4. Ely, Of tho Johns
Hopkins University, In his paper In the
March number Of Lad.a. Hand, asks;
"How can a city gcti Ia gas, watcr, electric
light, strcct-car service, etc, at low rates,
and at the same time obtain perhaps a
revenue applicable TO the reduction Of tho
ordinary tax mte2' "rhe answer" says
The baltimore SIN, "is supplied by the
experience OF numerous towns and cities
In this country and in England. All that
Is required Is that the community should
adopt the policy Of acquiring tho plant
necessary for iH service, whether by the
purchase Of bnnd-now appliances or the
buying ont Of an existing plant at a
strictly reasonable valuation. Baltimore
already owns lis waicr.works, with adj
vantage TO It's and taxpayers.
Il derives an income from tho street car
franchises Il has granted but, upon the
principle for which Prof.. Ely contends,
II should own its strcctcar lines, electric
light plant gasworka etc, and should
grant no morc franchises In the Geld Of
natural ~monopolics."

to first base in time TO get his man.
Leonard's first playing was done with
amateur clubs in his native city Of New
ark, N. j. In 1868 he was secured by the
famous ~Irvingtons, a club that downed all
the cracks. 1t was composed Of a lot OF
Youngsters. Charley Sweasey, the Gin
cinnati Reds great player, was among the
colts Of this great club. Leonard and he
we're too fast for the company, and were
finally induced TO go West in the fall OF
that season to play with the Cincinnati
Buckeyes. They were secured by Harry
Wright for the famous old nine which
played the entire season Of go, after trav-
cling from one end OF the country to the
other without meeting q single defeat.
When the Cincinnati Club concluded to
disband, in the fall OF 1870, Leonard,
Sweasey, Waterman, Brainard and Alli-
son decided TO go to the Olympics, OF
Washington. The Wright brothers, Harry
and George, with McVey and Charley
Gould, came to Boston. After one season
Manager Wright induced his fayorite play
ers, SWeasey and Leonard, to rejoin them,
and for seven years after Leonard covered
left field for Boston. He is nov living in
his old home in Newark, N. j., holding q
position OF trust under the city govern
ment. He has a family OF six boys and
one Girl.

Application Of n Famous Maidstone.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March ga cor
respondent at Terre Haute, Ind, reports
to the Journal that what is known as the
Terre Haute maidstone, was today applied
to the leg Of the eleven year old daughter
Of John Kirk, Of Rush County, Ind, who
was bitten two weeks ago by a pup which
aiterward died with all the symptoms Of
hydrophobia. The stone after the lapse Of
eleven hours still adhered. The dog bit two
sisters Of this child. and either scratched
or bit q four year old brother. The mad
stone wal applied 10 the boy but would
not adhere, and this confirms the impress
sion that his injury Is from a scratch. The
wounds Of the three girls are not deep, but
blood was drawn. The maidstone Is thor
oughtly saturated and the cloth about IL Is
soaked with the poisonous-looking matter.
The longest time the stone ever adhered
before this application was fourteen hours,
and that was many years ago. The stone
has an authcntical record OF moro than
eighty years, and no death has ever 70.
suited II IL once adhered. When IL drops
of the child on whom II Is now applied 1t
will be tried on one OF the sisters.
