ITls rare indeed that a murderer
Of the intelligence Of Carlyle Harris
declares his innocense almost with
his last breath. There seems to us
to have been grave doubts of his
guilt, so grave indeed, that we can-
not help but feel that justice would
have been much better meted oiit
had the now deceased Harris been
allowed to live behind prison bars
an his long days The prisoner
should always be given the benefit
Of any or al doubt, and was there
not considerable noubt ofthis young
mans guilt2 The trial was fraught
with much conflicting expert medi-
cal testimony. Medical experts Of
equal renown and experience testified
diametrically opposite each other as
to the possibility oftelling the cause
Of death after the body Of the victim
had for six or more weeks laid in the
ground. Theye was indeed no salts
lactory proof Of the cause Of the
death Of Helen Potts, to our minds,
much less was the proof satisfactory
as to The guilt Of Carlyle Harris.
The yoa man may or may not
have brw guilty Of the death Of his
child va but TIE commonwealth did
not 5ve beyond q reasonable doubt
Carlyle Harris was her mur-

In saying that Hoods Sarsapari'la cures,
its proprietors make no idle or extravagant
claim. The advertising of Hoods SaTsa-

the sober, common sense ofthiukine people,
and it is always fully substantisted by en-

THE Legislature yas in a position
TO know the fac NOM @ SAa it was per
fectly justifable pc had refusal to
grant any more m Ne coli She Worlds
Fair Commission. o. III that Com
mission has had s2s, 900 appropri-
ated to it. and from il they put up
the Delaware building on the grounds
at cost Of $8OOO-in round num-
bers-and the balance has gone in
divers ways. One trip Of the com
mission to Chicago last year cost
81, 10000, viz 100000 was paid for
a train Of Pullman cars to go in, an
other 100000 was paid for board in
Chicago and $4,000 went for Incl
dentals-- hack hire, wines, etc, etc.
This is sample item Of how the
money went like water, and it is a
fair specimen Of how money is gen
orally spent by the crowd around
Dover and their friends who govern
Delaware.
IN refusing to place any more
moRey in the Worlds Fair Commits
sioners hands to spend, the Legisla-
ture did right. Had they been as
careful to guard the interests Of the
farmers from other rrobbeIies it would
have been better, but even this
showed that away down in their
souls, below partisan politics, The leg
lsIatnre was honest.

ration Of Independence, and up to
the time of athe late unpleasant

pie, those now members Of the dom
inant democracy,-were not fayOra-
bly, inclined towards soldierss-on
sOur" side Of the fight. 1t was in
1876 that the military force Of the
State Was newly organized, since
this time their existance has con-
ssantly been menaced by the powers
that have been and are ROW.
It seems that our people should
sometime become disgusted with
the ruling powers of the State and
try a change, which cannot be worse
and certainly promises better than
that which has been given US in the
past thirty years. As far as the
people are concerned would it not
have been much better for them had

the money asked for as the commits

CARROLL CHAPEL.

The Corner Stone of q New Edifice to Be
Laid at Forest Glen.
A special train left the Baltimore and Ohio
depot at 2:15 this afternoon with distinguished
party on board, including many of the most
prominent Of the Catholic clergy and
laity of this city and vicinity. The
party were bound for Forest Glen on the
Metropolitan branch, where the new Carroll
Chapel is to be situated At $50 today the
ceremonies Of laying the corner stone of the
new edifice will take place, and will be rendered
still more impressive by the presence of Car
dinal Gibbons, and In all probability Arch
bishop Carroll.
The old Carol Chapel at Forest Glen Is one
Of the Oldest Catholic cbapels in Maryland. and
Its situation, surrounded as it Is BY magnificent
trees, is most beautiful For long time the
congregation has been endeavoring to secure the
means to erect a new chapel in place of the
rather tumble down affair which has in its day
held so many distinguished worshipers. The
corner stone laying today is the result Of
all these efforts, and the new edifiee. which
will speedily arise, will, no doubt, be
worthy of receiving the multitude of historical
associations which belong to the old chapel
Cardinal Gibbons will perform the ceremony of
laying the corner stone, while Father
OGorman OF the Catholic University will
preach the sermon. The usual ceremonies of the
church on such occasions will be performed.
such as blessing the spot where the altar will
stand, the foundation walls and the corner
stone itself. A large number of persons from
this city. Baltimore aud the surrounding
country are expected to be present.

Sentences for Promoting Policy.

Elizabeth Stilyard, the thirteen-year- col
ored girl who was tried and convicted In the
Police Court q few days ago on q charge of pro-
noting policy, as published in The STAR at the
time, was brought up from Jail to court this
morning and used as witness against Scott
Thompson, a colored man for whom she car
ried policy papers to Alexandria The girl gave
straight testimony against Thompson and her
mother also appeared as a witness against him.
Lawyer Sillers, his counsel, submitted the
case on the proof offered by the prosecution
and argued that there was the unsupported
evidence Of An accomplish, and his client, he
therefore argued, should be acquisted.
Judge Miller saw nothing to show the evil
dence Of all accomplice, as argued by counsel
and the jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Counsel gave notice Of a motion for q new
trial.
p In the girls case Judge Miller said he found
it absolutely necessary to impose a sentence. II
she were permitted to 60 at liberty it would
mean that she would again be farmed out
to engage in violating this law, and al
the mother was aware of the child's conduct
the court thought she should be made to beal
the burden. A fine of $40 or thirty days wa,
imposed and the mother said she would get the
amount Of fine II possible.
