If sex may be fairly pleaded to exempt a
woman from punishment on the ground
that woman is weak" 1t might be just as
logically pleaded for q weak or feminine
minded man. All this plea for light sem
fences or absolute impunity for women on
the score of sex and their susceptibility is
the limsiest lot of sentimental rot. If a
woman is novitiate in crime she is en-
titled to the same consideration, neither
more nor less, that man is entitled to
and generally receives when tried for his
first offense against the laws of the land.
To do more than this is to tempt woman
to DO wrong or to persist IN wrong doing,
relying on the plea of sex to secure light
punishment or pardon.
Do our friends of the woman's rights
faith wish to include among their de-
mands for equal rights for women the
right and duty of society to hold woman
to exactly the same responsibility for
theft and murder as man? We assume
they do. since they cannot logically avoid
it. The truth is that human nature is
very wicked not seldom in both men and

Goneril, Regain, the queen in Hamlet"
Lady Macbeth, Cleopatra and Cressida.
Men who persist in leading abandoned
lives are not excused from the consequences
of crime. OF course the worst criminal of
either sex may plead truthfuliy the undue
influence of the devil. Put Macbeth on
trial and the verdict would be murder,
despite the proof of ''undue influence" on
part of his wife. Does anybody think that
Macbeth would deserve any clemency be-
cause of the undue influence" of his wife,
If this plea of "undue influence" is worth
less for Macbeth, why is it not equally
worthless if you reverse the situation and
find that Lady Macbeth had stolen into
King Duncan's room and stabbed him as
he slept.

Cardinal Gibbons has written letter
favoring the opening of the Worlds fair
on Sundays. 1t is admirably to the point:
The Sunday closing of this spectacle would
be very unfortunate for many thousands of our
countrymen, who would be tempted to spend
the day in dissipation. In their name would
favor the opening of the fair Sunday afternoon
to evening. with the provision that all ma
chinery should be stopped and all mechanical
and iaboring work that will not be urgently
necessary should cease. In this do not see
any dissertation OF the holiness OF the day; on
the contrary. those who will visit the fair on
these days will be inclined to raise their minds
and hearts TO Him who inspired men who pro-
Guce such marvellous things.

The unfortunate drowning of Miss

which was published in last evenings

whole city, and particularly so among her
most intimate friends. There are sever

having only the day before purchased
her a season ticket. When she reached
the bath house she found all the dressing
rooms occupied. and consequently had
TO wait some time before she could get
one. In the meantime many of the Ia
dies and expert swimmers had retired,
and but two or three persons were left
in the pool at the time of the accident.
Among those were Miss Hattie Dadds.
Miss Barry, the young lady who attempt

two or three little children. Miss Dadds
says Miss Prospect did not jump of the

The Cultivation of Oysters.

Mr. Edward Walton, of Baltimore. for
merly of Annapolis, was at the executive
chamber yesterday inquiring for the Gov
ernor and the board of public works, to
whom he wanted to explain his oyster
cultivating incubator on which he has
secured patent. Mr. Walton is expert.
menting with his new process of pro-
pagating oysters at South River, and al
though similar attempts heretofore made
by others have proved unsuccessful, Mr..
Walton believes he has struck a vein
which will revolutionize the oyster in
dustry. A quart jar containing salt wa
ter, which he produced yesterday. was
said to contain several millions of living
oysters. They are not large enough to
be seen yet without the aid of the micro
scope. His theary is these young BIZ
valves will be large enough in two or
three months, when they are expected to
reach the dimensions of a silver quarter,
to be used for planting purposes. Mr..
Walton is the son of the late Colonel
Walton, for many years proprietor of
the old City Hotel of Annapolis.

Have You Read and Thought About
Thiss

Every week now scores progress IN
the work at West Annapolis. Two
new buildings have been about COM
pleted, convenient and pretty cottages.
Train Master Upton besides finishing
his residence has designed a tasty
little poultry house where he proposes
to raise some first class browning
stock. These may be depended upon
TO wake up the little city early in the
morning until they get their town
clock. Progress is the word and a
few pushing men such as are now To-
eating will make lively stir over
there. AS a rule, West Annapolis lots
have been sold to desirable people.
This is an attractive feature as it en-
sures a good community. The houses
they build will DE neat and tasteful
and the occupants will contribute to
the attractions of the place. You can
buy and build at West Annapolis with
the assurance that you will be exempt
from the annoyance of an undesirable
population. Every guard which the
careful management of Mr.. Melvin
can secure will be thrown around the
enterprise. Lot sales will be made to
good people and the class of buildings
to be erected will be such as to add
increased value to the property. In
quiry for these lots continues and
purchasers are likely to realize fine
profit for their investment.

The trip included points on the Wes-

Leonardtown, West aud South rivers,
Tangier and Pocomoke sound. Later on
the Governor proposes TO inspect the

Mr.. G Bruder, member of the Naval
Academy Band, was manufactured by
Henry Hartge, said to be one of the first
piano manufacturers that came to this
country. Mr. Hartge located in Balti-
more about sixty years ago, coming from
Germany. He entered into partnership
with William Knabe and carried on bust
ness a number of years. A dissolution of
partnership. ii is said, took place because
Mr.. Knabe would not consent to start in
new business at West River, where
Hartge afterwards went and for time
carried on successful trade The plano
owned by Mr. Bruder Is pronounced to
be an excellent instrument. In those
days pianos were made entirely by hand
Engraved on a silver plate is the name
of the manufacturer, Henry Hartge,

old musician the business was carried on
by his sons, one OF whom was Ferdinan-
do Hartge. the father OF Capt Emile A..
Hartge. of the MARYLAND oyster navy.
Mr.. Ferdinando Hartge was drowned
eight years ago last Fourth of July. He
had been sailing off West River in a
small boat, which capsized, and In his
efforts to save the children who were
with him he himself drowned. The chill
dren were rescued. Almost in sight of
