The MARYLAND Encampment.

A level field of about seventy acres
lies between the Washington turnpike
and the Monocacy river near Frederick
Junction. This spot is one OF the his
toric landmarks of Maryland. Here in
July, 1864, the battle of Monocacy was
fought, and the same field was used for
a camp on a former occasion. 1t is
here that the annual encampment OF
the Maryland militia is expected to take
place in the month of July.
The time will be close to the ami
versaries of some of the great events of
the late war. The battle of Monocacy
was upon the 9th OF July, and this year
will be the twenty-ffth anniversary of
that event. The great retreat from
Gettysburg was also in July, and the
lines of Lees shattered army passed
close to this prospective rendezvous of
Maryland's state defenders. The spot,
therefore, holds the traditions of stirring
events and is fifty chosen for the COM
ing days of drill and parade.
The annual encampment of our state
militia is becoming more and more
matter of importance. Ore regiment
of the "Home Guards" at least, has
won national reputation. 1t is essen
tial that this deserved distinction should
be maintained, and to that end a few
days field work each year is absolutely
necessary. Excellent as are the tacili-
ties for drill and manual practice at the
armory, experience in camp is needful
to round out the efficiency of our state
troops.
In other states these recurring sea-
sons of drill and rarade-review are con-
Quoted at great expense, and made
periods of holiday merriment as we'll as
the more serious work of playing soldier.
But they bring the different military
companies into direct competition. The
best drilled are an example to those less
so, and in this way friendly but lively
competition is aroused among the men
to excel at the next review.
Thus the encampment is the most
useful feature of the state militia system.
and as such 1t ought to be cheerfully
maintained as means of developing
the highest state of efficiency in our
citizen soldiery.-Balto. Herald.

The death of w. Irving Bishop will
probably revive discussion of his mind
reading powers. Bishop and his imita-
tors or followers never gave satisfactory
demonstration that they were anything
other than muscle readers. When an
alyzed, nearly all their performances re-
solved themselves into the simple loca-
ton of an object through the sense of
touch, through some of the "experi-
ments," prepared with the skill of ma
giclans, obscured this fact. One excel
lent device intended to show that there
was real mind-reading was to pretend to
discover an object thought of, while
tie mlnd-reader was not in contact
with the subject, except through the
medium of piece of telegraph wire.
It was accomplished by drapping the
subject about, allowing him to "settle"
until his toes pointed towards the OBJ
ject and repeating this process until, by
a kind of trangulation, the mind reader
ascertalned the vertical line in which
the object was situated. He had no
means of getting horizontal limit to
his choice and if there was more than
one object in the vertical had to guess
which one. But this trick very fire.
quently succeeded and if it failed came
SO near to success as to satisfy most
people. 1t was the failures, however,
that exposed the device. Many won-
dertul stories have been told of mind
readers, but there is no good evidence
that they ever accomplished anything
beyond the location of objects through
muscle reading except in few delu-
sive cases of trickery arranged for the
purpose, as in the wire test mentioned
above.

ROUGH ON THE PEACH BOTTOM.
The Notes Representing Its Floating Stock
Said to Have Gone to Protest.

Said to Have Gone to Protest.
YORK, Pa, May 15.-A we'll authenti-
Gated report was current in financial Cir
Giles to day that $SS 006 of the securities
of the York and Peach Bottom Railroad
Company, in the form of notes held by
the banks of this city, have gone to pro-
test. The true inwardness Of the sale of
controlling interest in the stock of that
road to a syndicate Unidentified with the
Maryland Central Railroad now begins
to appear. IL would seem that gentlemen
having large holdings of the stock of the
first named road are endorsers of this
floating debt, and that the Marylan Cen
trail parties purchasing the stock stipula-
ted to purchase also at par. a sufficient
amout of the preferred stock to liquidate
the entire floating debt of the York and
Peach Bottom Railroad, amounting to
SOL, 900. With this understanding. if it
is correctly rumored, the sale of the com
mon stock was made at about So per
share, and that, in pursuance of this ar
rangement, three gentlemen representing
the Maryland Central Railroad supplan
ted three Workers in directorships. This
accomplished, it only remained for the
Maryland Central syndicate to pay for
preferred stock and take up the floating
protected by the York gentlemen who
had sold their stock to it. By some
slight overlook, the taking up the float
ing debt referred to has not been attend
ed to, and, consequently, the notes repre-
senting that debt have gone to protest.
From this it would appear that the Mary
land Central syndicate attaches no i'm
portance to the York and Peach Bottom
Railroad stock as an investment, and
that their purchase of it was merely to
give them control of the traffic of that
road as feeder to the Maryland Central.

controversy succeeded which resulted in
the expulsion OF Mr.. Rice's opponents

A GREAT RACE.
Exile Wins the Brooklyn Handicap. Prince
ROYAL Second and Terra Gotta Third,

Exile Wins the Brooklyn Handicap. Prince
Royal Second and Terra Gotta Third.
BROOKLYN, May 15,-Over Is, 900 PEG
pie went to the Gravesend race track to-
day to witness the race for the Brooklyn
Handicap. A finer day for racing pur-
poses could not have been had. The
early arrivals at the track found that the
course was in excellent condition, though
a little damp underneath. 1t was dusty
on top, and many pronounced it fast
while a few thought it second or SO
slow. In the auction pools Terra Gotta
sold at $3.50; Hanover, $500; Prince
Royal, $40; field, $3.50.
At the call of the trumpet Prince Royal
was the first to take the track. He was
closely followed by Juggler and Terra
Gotta. They looked fit to race for a
kingdom. ALI the steeds we're given
splendid receptions, especially the old
favorite, Hanover.
There was quite delay at the post,
Exile and Prince Royal being rather frac-
tious. They we're ranged in the following
order: Juggler having the rail, Terra
Gotta next, and Richmond, Exile, Elk
wood, Prince Royal and Hanover string
ing to the outer rail. They broke away
four times before getting the flag.
When tho banner fell Juggler was first
away, followed by Terra Gotta, Elkwood,
Richmond. Prince Royal, Hanover and
Juggler were racing side by side three
lengths before Prince Royal and Exile.
The others were in ruck, tailed by
Richmind, and in this way they went by
the stand. At the lower end Juggler
showed little in front and he was past
the quarter, nose in front of Hanover.
Going up the back stretch Juggler i'm
proved his lead and the others closed up
on Hanover. Half way up the stretch
Hanover began to fall back, and a cry of
Hanover is beaten" issued from 10000
throats. 1t was true. He was soon passed
by Prince Royal and Exile. Juggler was
still in front at the halfmile post, half
a length before Prince Royal, who was
was the same distance before Exile, Han
over being bad fourth.
On the upper turn Exile went to the
front and came into the home stretch
half length before Prince Royal, who
was two lengths ahead of Juggler. The
struggle from this point was very excit.
ing. Garrison RODE Prince Royal like a
demon, but in vain; he could not get up
Exile, who, in the last furlong, increased
his advantage, and, amid tremendous
cheering. he won the race by two lengths.
Prince Royal second was dozen lengths
before Terra Gotta third. Elkwood, Jug
gler and Hanover finished as namde. The
time By fractions was: OBS, $50, l lie,
2St. 1.41l and 207t. Mutuals paid
$50 80 straight and S23 80 for place.

Effect of Bad Wbiskey.

CHICAGO. May 15.-Tim Sullivan, Is
years old, brother of saloon keeper died
last night from an overdose of bad whis-
key. Sullivan and a young man named
Tom Curry had been engaged by the
formers brother to move a whiskey bar
rel into the cellar. They found bucket
full of liquor in the barrel, and repaired
to the rear of neig hboring house to
drink it. They emptied the bucket be
tween them, and were soon soon in a stare
of drunken hiarity. This gave way to
a stupor, and later on to commissions.
When the young men were found they
were lying insensible on the ground.
Their features we're horribly distorted.
Sullivan died two hours after taking the
first drink. Curry, who is 10 years old,
is still alive, but he is in critical condi-
tion, and not expected to live.

Asking the Preferment of Veterans.

WARRINGTON, May 15.-Comrades Jos.
W. Kay, George w. Brown and David
Anick talked to the President as COM
mittee representing the Grand Army of
the Republic of Brooklyn. They laid be-
fore him resolutions adopted by the
Memorial and Executive Committee of
the order during April last, urging the
carrying out of those provisions of the
Revised Statutes looking to the prefer.
ment of veterans Of the late war for office
under the government. They asked the
President to give full force and effect to
all laws now existing or hereafter to lbe
enacted on this subject. The President
replied that he would consider this ques-
ton very carefully, and would give the
resolutions their due weight.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, May -, 1889.
1t has been our aim for a
series of years to print store
news that would be universally
read. Our methods, being
right, have succeeded. Fresh
items and true statements have
won and held a reading con-
stituency the like of which has
never before been known.
Under the leadership thus
created a larger truthfulness
has come about, but a mass of
inaccuracy in advertising still
remains, which discounts the
efforts of all sincere advertisers.
Our interests demand unceas-
ing warfare upon everything of
the sort.
But we cannot fight in de
tail. Every instance in which
competing goods are offered
as bargains at higher prices
than we charge regular cannot
be challenged; when Sateens
are stated to be more popular
this season than ever, which
every dress goods man knows
to be untrue; when Mohair is
called Gloriosa, or Cashmere
Henrietta; when staple articles,
open to all the trade, are rep
resented as exclusive simply
because of a fictitious trade
mark arbitrarily attached; when
such things as these are printed
we cannot pause to contradict
each mlsstatement.
The fixed principles beneath
this business are our reliance.
We try to make them plain
and execute them.
