Another Liquor License Case.

Application was made before Judge Rob
erts to open test case under the new liquor
license law of the county. The case was
that of George Younger, of Sykesville, who
applied and received license to sell liquor
and opened his place on Monday last. Ex-
Judge j. A. C. Bond appeared for the defense,
and Messrs. H. NJ. Clabaugh, G. t. Reifsn,
der, of Westminster, and W. Frank Tucker,
of Baltimore, for the people of Sykesville,
Freedom district declared for local option
two years ago by a vote of the people and
won by large majority. Younger applied
for license under the new law, presenting the
signatures of nine property owners, and re-
ceived his license. His opponents commended
that one OF the signers lives in Howard coun-
ty, and that of the nine signers only four live
within the required two miles Of Sykesville
and five within three miles, and that when
the new law passed it did not apply to Free
dom district, because that district was already
a local option district made so by the vote of
the people legally cast. Younger claimed
that he has a right to sell under his license,
application for which was properly signed,
and that the law applies to all districts in the
county.
Judge Roberts rendered decision on
Thursday sustaining the action of the clerk
in issuing the license.

Green street Bridge Question Settled.

ThR Mayor and Council on Monday night
settled the Green street bridge matter, by
agreeing to erect wooden bridge, of Georgia
pine. in the place of the present one. 1t will
be the same length as the old bridge, but Will
be fifty feet wide. The approach to the
bridge will be filled up on each side, and the
bed Of Railroad street will be raised, so that
the grade to Green street will not be too
heavy. Support walls, surmounted by rail
ings, will be built along the railroad cut, on
each side of the bridge. The bridge, It is
thought, will cost about $500, plan for which
is o be furnished by the Western Maryland
Railroad Company. Street Commissioner
Shaeffer will superintend the construction oil
The bridge. and the work will not be done by
contract.
The Mayor and Council have secured the
use of the room in the rear OF the council
chamber, and will fit it up for an Office for the
clerk, with file case and other conyenences.

WHAT SOCIETY Is.

There is always a class of persons
which is called distinctively society.
but it is not class of noble families
of hereditary ascendency. It lis con.
stantly changing, and the sole leather
of today is the plumed hat of tomor-
row. 1t is initiative and puts on
petty airs of grandeur and an anus
ing smlrk of superiority, but it is
neither grand nor superior.
Yet, again, it is all harmless. An
old directory tells the secret, and. as
the fine society itself would say,gives
this petty grandeur away. The d.
rectory IS a ruthless herald's office.
You start from my Lady Disdain in
the opera box, flashing with diamonds
and shining with cloth of gold, lit
tie too loud in her voice, a little too
splendid in her dress, the amiable
dupe of novels and of ignorance, and
you soon arrive, in the inexorable
directory of other years, at the source
of this magnificence-the prosperous
butcher and baker and candlestick
maker, the tailor of his day, the fash
ionable shoemaker.
These are the idle rich for whom
Mr.. Gladstone asks whether nature
has provided a place. Plainly she
has. Here it is in this opera box, in
yonder carriage, in this little palace
of the bonbon architecture. But day
after tomorrow the good people in
the gallery will come down and sit
in the boxes. The gods will descend
and they will drive home to the bon
bon palace instead of walking home
to the modest fiat as they do now. 1t
is grandeur of wealth, and happily,
OF wealth which is not entailed, and
is therefore always flying away, al
ways distributed, and giving us a
fresh nobility every year, tasting, as
it were, of the soil.-George w.
Curtis in Harper's Magazine.

DISASTERS IN AMERICA.

The foundations of the Ohio and
Mississippi at various times have
caused great destruction of property,
and at times of life. New Orleans
was flooded May ~, ls49, 100 squares
and / 900 houses being submerged.
The White mountains in New Hamp-
shire were inundated by deluge of
rain, after two years of drought, in
1916. Several valleys were COM
pletely under water. Trees and
whole forests were torn from the
ground, it is written, and were
washed with the torrents down the
mountain side.
One of the best known of Ameri-
can disasters by flood was that of
Mill river, near Northampton, Mass,
on May l6, 1874. A number of vii
lagos were destroyed through the
bursting of an CONSTRUCTED reser-
voir, but only l44 lives were lost. In
the same year the rivers of western
Pennsylvania overlooked their banks
as the result CT an unusual fall of
rain, and 900 persons were drowned.
The next flood in Importance was
that in the Conemaugh valley.
Since that time there have been
great floods in Mexico by which
hundreds of lives were lost, and dis
astrous floods in all parts of the
world. In June, 1890, 5000 lives
were lost IN Kwang-tung, while in
August nearly 5000 were lost in the
province of Wahatyama, Japan.
Last summer a cloud-burst in Botzen,
Austria, destroyed hundreds of lives,
while in September floods were
general in Spain,and over 1000 lives
are believed to have been lost.
The recent loss of life in the west,
along the course of the Missouri and
Mississippi, brings the list of disas-
ters up to the present.
