The Care of Epileptics.

Having failed to get help from the
Legislature, the Kings Daughters and
Sons of Maryland are determined to es-
tablish an asylum for epileptics by their
own efforts The institution will be
located at Port Deposit in a building
given for the purpose by Mrs. Woodward
Abrahams, and $1,000 has already been
raised to make the necessary improve
ments. Only such unfortunates as are
able to pay table board will be admitted
now, but it is intended to widen the scope
of the asylum so as to make 1t a refuge
for the INDECENT, and a sanitarium as well.
Being nervous disorder, epilepsy has
not received the close attention devoted
to other diseases which yielded more
easily to physic, but there is no doubt
that much can be done by systematic
treatment and scientific nursing to i'm
prove the condition of persons thus afflict-
ed. Like the Asylum for the Feeble
Minded, the home for epileptics can
advance the intellectual development of
the inmates, and In some cases enable
them to become self-supporting.
The work undertaken by the Kings
Daughters and Sons is deserving of the
support of all philanthropic men and
women in the state.

Trip Around the World.

The pictorial lecture of Prof, Watson w.
Devices given in the town hall on Friday
night last was very enjoyable entertain
ment. The size of the audience was much
interfered with by the very unusual
weather for so late date in April. The
Professor showed on the screen what Miss
Bisland and Nelly BLY, saw or might have
seen in their famous trip around the
world. The objects were not only shown
life-like but were described and explained
by Prof. Devices in way that was most
interesting and instructive. The audience
was halted quite good while in England
and shown the Tower of London, Parlia-
ment house, the Royal family and the
Queen as a matroniy woman and as a
sovereign in all her royal robes, besides
numerous other sights, all very interest
ing and made doubly so by the explana-
tons given by the Professor, Little Misses
Bisland and Nelly Bly, who tramped round
the world in "a and 76 days were intro
duced on the canvas Just as they appear
ed on their memorable journey, journey
accomplished in less than three months
which took Magellen and Captain Cook
three years to make.

Hard Times.

The Cecilton correspondent of the
Wing speaks the sentiment Of SO
of every 100 in the county.
"Hard Times" is the subject of
every cOnversation-on the corner,
in the store, at home and abroad.
No matter where you 60, you hear,
GLOW do you do?" Reply ooh, Pm
just living, times are so hard, and
business is so uphill work, that l
feel as blue as indigo all the time"
Even some of our heretofore pros
porous merchants are talking of
quitting the business, saying there
is nothing in it,
When will the people begin
seriously to inquire how to get rid
of"hard timess" They were brought
on by bad legislation, which fact
eau be and has been abundantly
demonstrated, and can be cured by
legislation. When the people cease
to love their old parties less than
the ''hard times" they will apply
the remedy.

Probably Fatal Accident.

William McGovern, whose resi-
dence is said to be in Baltimore,
was thrown from the Washington
and New York express on the P.
w. & B. r. R., between North
East and Bacon Hill, at an early
hour last Saturday morning. He
was walking from one car to the
other when he was thrown off as
the train rounded a heavy curve at
that point. The train was stopped
and the unfortunate man taken to
Wilmington. Upon examination it
was found that his skull had been
fractured and that he was other
wise injured. His condition is
critical.

Changing Names.

The Oxford Press advocates the chang
ing of names ofpost offices and gives some
examples.
Change Chadd's Ford to Chadsford;
West Chester to Westchester; Kennett
grove; Fagg's Manor to Faggsmanor, etc.
That change looks very much like a
distinction without difference" or a
difference without distinction.
There was once movement to change
the name of Rising Sun but the old
citizens threatened to rise in arms Now,
such change as the Press suggests might
have been made and they would never
have known it.

A Gloomy Outlook for Fishermen.

A press reporter writing from Havre de
Grace gives a gloomy outlook for the
fishing business.
The conclusion most generally arrived
at early in March was that we would have
an early spring, and considerable energy
was put forth by all interested in fishing
to be ready in time. The consequence
was all of the seine-haulers were ready by
April Ist, but the recent bad weather
caused great setback. Many men have
been employed since April 1st, while fish
enough to feed them on have not in most
cases been caught. Of course only occa-
sional hauis have been made for the pur-
pose of finding out if the run was on.
The fishing season usually opens here
about April 5th and closes about May Is.
Last season the run of fish was on by
April 9th, and by the 18th upward of 10,
600 barrels of herring were in salt. Should
the present good weather continue fish
may possibly arrive in paying quantities
by the last of the present week, but the
season will be short and the pack very
much lighter than it was in 1898. The
total pack last year aggregated 10000
barrels of herring. This result was ac-
complished only by constant use of the
entire striking capacity of the different
fisheries. Nor only have the seine-haulers
been disappointed, but many OILERS WING
go down the bay to meet the run of shad
every spring were hurried off as early al
March 10TH, taking UP their quarters in
some of the different creeks between
Havre de Grace and Poole's Island, ex.
pecting fish early, but only to meet dis.
appointment. They have not caught in
month over S2s worth on the average
to the BOAT.

in membership in Maryland since
the last session is $3.50.

Kiss Pollard Wins.

The jury in the Breckenridge
Pollard suit for breach of promise
rendered a verdict on Saturday
evening for $4,000 damages.
Sweet William declares he is going
to appeal and also is going to work

in short is trying the brazen brag
and bluff role. No doubt Miss Pol
lard was a born cyprian but what

A Washington special to the Baltimore

held many consultations concerning the
advent of Coxey's army. They anticipate
that the law will be sufficient to meet
whatever emergencies may arise. So long
as they are peaceful they will not be
molested. AS soon as the law or public
peace is violated the police, the local
militia as a reserve police force, and, if
need be, the army and navy of the United
States can be used to maintain the supre-
macy of the law.

Died From Burns.

Mrs. Joseph Grant, one mile south of
Elkton, on the road to Chesapeake City,
died Monday morning from the effects of
burns received about six weeks ago. Mrs.
Grant, who was an elderly lady, was sitting
before an open fire, when she suffered an
attack of vertigo and fell headlong into
the flames. No one was in the house at
the time except several small children,
who went to her assistance and succeeded
in dragging her from the fire into the
yard, and there extinguished the flames.
Mrs. Grant never recovered from the
effects of the burns, and died suffering
great agony. Her husband and eight
children survive her.

Four million, in round numbers,
of gold was shipped to Europe last
week. Austria was buying gold a
short time back and is likely still
at it, in order to fill her "war chest. y
All the monarchies in Europe seem
to be filling their ''war chests"
with gold and the Jew bankers are
making good thing out of the de,
mand, drawing gold out of Uncle
Sans treasury with greenbacks
and the Sherman law legal tenders,
and selling it to Austria, report
says at 8 per cent premium. Fine
craftsmanship! Carlisle and Cleve-
land selling bonds for gold to be
handy for the Jew gold traders to
get when they have an order from
the crowned heads of Europe. Fine
craftsmanship to be sure; the
American people paying five per
cent interest on bonds to buy gold
for the Jew money hucksters to sell
to European kings at s per cent
profit. Splendid craftsmanship for
Cleveland and Carlisle aided by
republican senators. Had it not
been for the support Of the republi-
cans not a single financial measure
could have been put through this
congress. The plates on which the
Cleveland and Carlisle 5 per cent
bonds were printed-$5O, 900, 900 of
them-were engraved under secre-
tary Fosters direction and the
bonds would have been issued had
Harrison been elected.
