Some Criticism on Current Methods Of Do
Ing Business.
f. p. Wells, Windham county farm
er, who has, by the way, been success
full, writes as follows to the New Eng
land Farmer:
I see great many ably written arti-
Giles in your paper telling the farmers
how to succeed, but one very important
requisite is omitted. To illustrate: A
fvit nd OF mine invented an attachment to
60 on last-turning machine whereby
any sized last could be turned from one
pattern and keep the proportions exact !;
it WAS great invention. / told him that
he ought to get rich. His answer was ::
SIT is worth very little, for but few men
are able to buy machine, and less could
run it at q profit" Now for the appl-
cation. But few farmers are situated
financially 80 that they can make all the
necessary changes in their buildings and
farms and then run thtm at Il profit.
The greatest trouble with the farmers in
this section is the lack of courage to sell
their produce. The marketing is worth
one-fourth the crop, and l charge my
neighbOrs accordingly and get all the
business in that line that l will take.
There is considerable "log-rolling' in
this ''intense" business. The inventors
and manufacturers of special machines
for farmers become the teachers, and
their remarks, although learned and
backed up by the highest authority, tell
us that we are behind the times if we do
not purchase of them their latest inven-
tion, or at least they show us that by
the outlay of small sum we can reap
great profits. The writer four years ago
bought Vermont abandoned farm wi
leaky, tumble-down bull lings. He had
no stock, no farming implements, no ex-
perience ia farming, Very little money
and family of four. He has worked
less hours on an average through the
year than the average mechanic, has
built new barn, shingled everything
new, has nearly all the latest improved
farm machines, wagons, ETC., four
horses, IL cows and at present owes but
1925; this with cash capital of $500
four years ago.

David Boose. of this place, tells us while
cleaning one of the managers in his stable he
uncovered n sack, and on examination found
it to be full of clover seed. Mr.. BoOse
thinks it strange that the owner has not
called for it before this time.
The carpenters and painters are at work

ton of the two large ones, which have not

A neighbor showed us the Pleasant Valley
items in last weeks Westminster Sentinel.
We don't think the correspondent at that
place has gotten over the great shock of No
vember the Sth. He says it was said in the
Silver Run correspondence of the ADVOCATE
IdSb MCChs hhS Jun
ridden in the Democratic parade in West
minister, that the animal does not know that
his master has recently turned his coat and
voted for Grover Cleveland He further
says, it is perfectly safe to say that the bull
is as well informed as the ADVOCATES cor
respondent on the subject. He is gentle
creature and it was well understood before
the election that he was to appear in the pa
rade in Westminster in homer of the result no
matter which party should be the winner.
We wish to say few words concerning the
above statement. Does the correspondent
suppose that this bull knew anything of the
! contract made by his master concerning the
election of either Cleveland or Harrison? If
the bull was present at the time the contract
was made by his master and a neighbor and
the bull gave his consent to appear in the
parade in Westminster in honor of the re-
suit then we would have reason to believe
that he was as well informed as the ADvu-
Gates correspondent on the subject. But
well be--if we believe that the bull
was present or knew anything of his master 5
contract concerning the Westminster parade.
We admit he is gentle creature, and the
Pleasant Valley correspondent must admit
that there are a great many beside the bull
who have become very gentle since the Sth OF
November. We will say in conclusion, we
believe if the bull could speak he would say
Grover, Grover, we have elected you all over.

The Ere bell sounded on the clear, cold air
about ( O'Clock on Thursday morning, and
the startled sleepers beheld the heavens lit up
in the western part of Westminster. Two
vacant houses on Carroll street, near Grace
Lutheran Church. were blazing brightly, and
in IL short time would be reduced to ashes.
The Fire Department was soon at the fire,
and by prompt work got the FIRE under con.
troll One dwelling was totally destroyed, and
the other was partially burned.
The houses belonged to n. Curtis Eckard,
living about four miles from this city. In
one of them was stored 40 bushels of potatoes
and 100 heads of cabbage by Leander Mob
ley, who expected to move into the house on
the day of the fire.
The fire was evidently the work OF an in,
cendiary, Us vacant houses don't set them
selves on fire. Examination showed that bun
dies of dry straw had been placed about the
buildings, and some straw was found scattered
about the premises.
The dwellings were neat frame structures,
and each was insured for $1,000 in the North
British and Mercantile Insurance Company
of London and Edinburgh, represented by
James Z. Smith.
The fire was discovered by Mrs. Charles
Schwinderman, living in the neighborhood,
who was up with sick child. The flames
had made great Roadway before the firemen
were summoned by the fire alarm.

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
Twenty-seven observation-disclosures Good
order in the County-The Tramp
Nuisance.

To The Honorable Judges Of the Circuit Court
for Carroll county:
The grand jury having given due consldera-
ton to all cases which have been brought be-
fore it, and believing that no further business
will require its attention now, 1t is ready Tor
adjournment, and respectfully asks TO be dis
charged.
We are pleased to report to the Court the
general good order which prevails throughout
the county, and the ready acquescence OF
our people in all that tends to uphold the law
and preserve the public peace.
We have during our session Investigated
40 cases, in 81 of which we have made pre-.
sentiments and % were dismissed. Most of
the charges which were submitted to our IN
uuiry were for minor offences, some, how
ever were more serious in their character.
II will be observed that a large part oil the
time of the grand jury has been taken up IN
the investigation of cases which were subse-
quently dismissed.
The special matter to which the Court call
ed the attention of the grand jury at the be
ginning of the term, to wit: the large number
of persons in the county Jail at this time, upon
the charge of disorderly conduct, within the
limits of the City of Westminster, has received
our serious consideration We have found
"a persons so incarcerated, and our investiga
ton shows that of this number 80 are persons
who do not belong to this county, have no
certain place of residence, and belong to the
class well known to the community as tramps
From the evidence before us it is quite
certain that many, if not all Of these persons,
engage in disorder and invite arrest, so as to
secure to themselves the shelter of our county
iail, where they are comfortably cared for and
have nothing to do.
We believe vigorous application OF the
law by those before whom such persons are
brought is necessary to abate this tramp
nuisance, and that hard labor upon our streets
or roads, as provided for in our local law, or
sentence to the House of Correction, rs pro-
vded for under the General Law, constitute
the remedies which will work a speedy cure
of the trouble: and that such vigorous enforce
ment of the law is made imperative, alike,
by the financial and the humane aspects of
the case.
We would respectfully suggest to your
Honors the Importance Of having the con
stables, who are required by the law to appear
before the grand jury, to do so upon the first
day of the session, and that day be set apart
for the purpose. The subsequent inveStiga-
tons of the grand jury would be greatly
facilitated by such course and much yau-
able time would be saved
We have visited the county jail, in com
pliance with the requirement of the law, and
take pleasure in commenting Sheriff Dorsey
for the clearly condition and the general
good order of the institution.

Sykesville Items.

Thanksgiving passed off quietly in this
community. Quite a number of strangers
came to the country to spend the day. =.
Howells amusing farce, 1.-The Elevator
of which mention was made in your cores
pondent last letter, was produced at Howard
Hall on Thanksgiving night by the Sykesville
Dramatic Association. Owing to other enter.
tainmeuts and the absence of many of the
residents of the neighborhood the attendance
was not quite as large as anticipated, but was
sufficiently large to make the affair success.
Those taking part in the play did credit to
themselves and the management AT the
conclusion Of the farce the charming operetta,
Soups and Saucers,' was rendered by Miss
Louise Davis and Mr. C. LoHndes Bennett,
whose voices were heard to good advantage.
Having whctted the appettes of the audience
with comedy and music an elegant supper
was then served by the committee of ladies
and gentlemen in charge, to which all did
Justice. The proceeds were devoted to
charitable purposes.

A dispatch from Newport. r. l., Nov. %,
says :-"Corneius Vanderbilts sumptuous
summer home here, known as 1.-The Break
ers,'i was destroyed by fire to-day. Nobody
knows exactly how the blaze caught, though
the prevailing opinion is that it started from
the heating apparatus under the large hall.
The fire was discovered at half past 4 this
afternoon, and it spread with such rapidity
that very little was saved The estate, with
the house, was purchased from T. Lorllard,
about six years ago, for 100000. 1t is esti-
mated that the present owner has expended
fully $1,000 upon it since then. Mr.. Van
derbilt also loses many private mementoes,
which can never be replaced. There is
Sl25, 900 insurance on the house, S75, 200 on
the furniture and $4,000 on the boilers.
The house was of irregular shape, about 100
by 80 feet in size, from one to three stories
in height the lower part of brick and the up
per of wood with numerous towers and ga
bles In a single hall were hung tapestries
worth 5000

the next State Assembly of Kansas depends
on a drawing by lot. That body now stands
62 Republicans, SIS Peoples Party, Demo
