ELKToN, Nd. Nov e3-Much wills
psring concerning the disastrous specula-
tions Of Cecil county Hnanciers in stock
OF the California Bank of San Diego
Cal, Is still going on in financial circles
here. The victims have but few sympa.
thizers, as the people AZ large think that
the investors should have put their
money out at home, and not have risked
1t in wildcat Western schemes. This
feeling Is also shared by the press Of
Cecil county.
The Cecil Democrat Of Elkton. in
speaking of the Investments, SAYS:
''If the capital which was invested
from this section in the California Bank
had been invested at home, Elkton might
have had an electric light plant and water
works
But Eikton is not the only sufferer
Newark, Del. also has It's victims.
IL is stated upon good authority that a
number OF gullible Newark men were
pulled into the scheme The only one SO
far known Is Joel Thompson, who lost
from g.. 600 to So, 900 In the California
Bank stock.
A good story is tod Of DR..
Charles Ellis, in this respect He
was member OF the Scott
Fertilizer Company His holdings OF
stock in the company amounted TO
$4,000 When the San Diego fever
struck him he wanted to sell out SIS. 900
worth Of his interest In the fertilizer
company. Bis partners cried to dissuade
him and refused TO buy This inesnsed
him, and he threatened to put the stock
up at public sale Under this pressure
they bought him out. and warned him
that he had better invest his money
nearer home. He rep led that everything
was dead in Cecil county. He wanted 10
invest his money where there was some
life and enterprise He did SO, and lost

The Calendar.

How many men who have calen-
dar of the year hanging beside their
desks-hOw many of the people who
can't keep house withount an alma
nac-know that about 800 years ago a
very important change was made in
or reckoning of time? Up to the time
of julius Caesar the Romans divided
the year into ten months, of very une-
quail lengths. One of the chief pur
poses of a calendar is to max a fixed
dateas the beginning of year, and to
do this, it should be always at the
same distance from the spring and
fall equinoXeS. In the time of Caesar
the science Of astronoms was not very
exact, and the small error of eleven
minutes in the Tenth of the year was
made. In the 10th century the
ohurchmen, who haze great many re-
ligious festivals, found that whereas
the equinox was on March 25th, when
the Julian calendar was made, in 1882
it had fallen back to March l1th.-
The great festival Of the church. Eas-
ter. was thus getting bsck into the
winter. Pope Gregory XIII, came to
the rescue, and after consultation
with the learned of the day, issued,
in October, 1882, brief by which the
date was arbitrarily advanced ten
dayy-and that is our present calen-
darA Russia, under the Greek church,
did not follow this, and still keeps
| the old style. To always have the cor
rect cate in your home or office get
one of the calendars issued by "The
| Burlington" and to meet your en-
gagements in other places, buy your
railroad tickets over that line. All
further information will be given by
