The Fourth i'm Shelton.

After month of fine weather the
Fourth dawned in clouds, and at five
O'Clock drizzling rain began, and
this deferred several hundred persons
from other towns in the vicinity and
the country from starting for Shelton.
However, in spite of the rain a large
crowd was gathered at the race track,
and large percentage of visitors was
among them. The Indians were out
in large numbers and took lively in
terest in the races and sports. The
program ON the prairie passed off
smoothly and in good humor. In the
trotting and running races there was
considerable element of doubt and the
betting was very light. The track
was in poor condition, much too heavy
for good speeding by either horse or
bicycle, and no heavy records were
broken. The crowd sheltered as we'll
as possible, patiently viewed the
sports for over three hours, through
the occasional light showers.
After dinner the Kneeland Hall was
filled to listen to the address and read
ing. Mr.. ]. H. Todd made an inter-
esting and satisfactory address and
his hearers passed the time proftably
in listening to his remarks
The sports were closed with foot
races on Gotta street, during which the
crowds lined up on either side and
good naturally crowded for position.
These races attracted the younger
folks, for whose especial benefit they
were arranged. The evening was
spent at the Odd Fellows ball in the
Knee1and Hall. The room was splen-
didly decorated, the bunting, flags
and other decorations for the recent
A. P. A. meeting, being left in the
HALL for the bali. The Hall was crowd
ed with dancers during the evening,
and the brethren had very pleasant
as we'll as profitable time. Supper
was served by the Ladies.
The celebration passed off quietly
throughout, no disturbances OF any
kind snarring the day, except several
drunken Indians.

The Dipman House Burned.

Smoke was discovered issuing from
the roof on the south l. of the Dipman
Hotel about 1 O'Clock Tuesday after
noon, and in a moment the roof was q
mass of flame. The alarm was rung
and large crowd gathered and began
removing furniture. The fire appa-
ratus was soon on the ground with two
streams and shortly after, the third.
For a time the hotel seemed deemed,
everything being dry and hot East
wind blowing, but the people wegked
hard and the fire was practically under
control in twenty minutes. The attic
being open the entire length the tire
soon worked to the other end, and the
whole roof was in flames, but the fire
was kept from getting down the lower
floor. The second floor ceilings and
walls we're generally burned, although
the front and outer walls of the build
were not much damaged below the
cornlces. Much Of the furniture was
removed in good order but about ten
bedroom sets are either burned up OF
more or less damaged. AS the floor
Of 2nd story is burned only in spots
where fire dropped between the joiste
there is enough of the structure saved
to warrant rebuilding the hotel as il
stands.
The fire evidently caught in the
south attic from the kitchen tiue
The cook smelled smoke shortly aftel
noon, but on investigation concluded
the range was smoking, and the fir
must have smouldered for several
hours, as it had a big start when dis
covered. Better work might have
been done if the Siameee had been at
tached to the 6-inch main, but thos'
who pulled out cart No. l struck fo
the nearest hydrart, which happened
to be ON 4-inch main, and the forc'
was not equal to two streams. How
eyey, the boys did well and neve
shirked danger, with strong cas-
wind blowing, and the start the fir
had, it is surprising that it was con
fined to the upper story.

the Importance of the work done by the
scientific employees of the government, but
that cry is beginning to fail and criticisms
are becoming more frequent. But to re-
turn to those lame ducks and their splut-
tering In accordance with authority con-
fcrrcd by the last Congress, General Duff
field superintendent of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, has rcorganized that bu-
reau. He dropped six employees, two of
whom had been in office forty years, and
they and all their numerous social connec-
tions have begun to yell as though some
body had pulled the plug out of the bottom
of the world and that the whole business
would be settled on the muddy bottom of
oblivion in few hours. The scientific
branches of the government are thorough
" alarmed to discover that their employees
do not own the whole outfit. But the gov
eminent still lives, and General Duffield
has no idea of apologizing to or of rein
stating anybody. He believes the changes
made were for the good of the service, and

PROF. HUXLEY DEAD.

Professor Huxley, who has been i'll for
some time, died at 3:45 p. m, on June 90
Thomas Henry Huxley was born at Eal-
ing, Middlesex, England, May a. 1925. He
began his literary career while yet stu
dent by contributing to the Medical Times
and Gazette. In 1916 he joined the medi-
cal service of the royal navy, whence he
was selected the same year to accompany
Capt Stanley as assistant surgeon to the
South Pacific In 1853 he resigned his
position in the navy, and in the following
year he succeeded Prof Edward Forbes as
professor of natural history in the Royal
School of Mines, an office he held for MANY
years. In 1869 and 1870 he was president
both of the Geological and chronological
Societies; in 1870 he was president of the
British Association for the Advancement
of Science, and in 1872 he became secre-
tary of the Royal Society. In 1872 he was
elected lord rector of the University of
Aberdeen.
Prof. Huxley did as much probably as
any W duNdHCc tHt SClcHCc Ol
zoology, and the world is indebted to him
for many important discoveries in each of
the larger divisions of the animal king
dom. To him is due the vertebral theory
of the skull, which has been demonstrated
so clearly by Gegenbaur; and he was the
first to extend to man Darwin's theory of
natural selection.
In his three lectures in 1868 on MANS
Place in Nature he made an elaborate ex-
position of the doctrine of evolution as APP
piled to man, asserting that the anatomi-
cal differences between man and the high
er class of apes are of less value than
those between the highest and lowest apes.
Prof. Huxley was corresponding mem
Der of the principal foreign scientific soci-
cites, and received honary degrees from
the Universities of Breslau and Edinburg.

BALTIMORE TOBACCO MARKET.

The Suns news columns have recently
given accounts of shipments of tobacco by
Calvert county planters direct to Bremen.
In the old colonial times, before Baltimore
became great market, ships piled be-
tween the PatuXent river and Bristol, Eng.
and carried the tobacco to that market for
sale. In Bristol the more extensive plant
ers had their agents who sold their crops
and bought and shipped to them their sup
plies. Later on the tobacco inpectin g
warehouses were removed to Baltimore,
and this city became about the first tobac-
co market in the world. Laws were enacted
making the inspection of tobacco by State
officials compulsory, and the trade was
greatly affected by this for many years.
Fifteen or twenty years ago complaints
began to be heard as to the character of
the State inspections They did not seem
to inspire confidence, and it was success
fully commended in the courts that the Mary
land Legislature could not constitutionally
apply compulsory inspection laws to tobat
W Ill OInef States.
After that decision Independent inspec-
lions were made. Finally the law COM
pelling the inspection of Maryland tobacco
at the State warehouses was repealed. But
the free storage afforded in the State ware
houses and probably increased confidence
in the inspections have sufficed to take
about the entire Maryland crop into the
State warehouses.
SO far only few hogsheads of tobacco
have been shipped through Baltimore to
Europe. These have been consigned to an
agent in Bremen and sent to Baltimore di-
rected to the care of the agents of the Ger
man steamers. These agents see to the
transfer of the tobacco from the Patuxent
steamer to the Bremen steamers, and it
goes through the city without being inspec-
ted. In Bremen we believe the hogsheads
are opened and sold open, so that the pur-
chaser can see what he is buying. Mary
land planters are awaiting with consider
able interest the result of this experiment.
Those who have expectations of extrava-
CANT prices will probably be disappointed.
Baltimore is still one of the greatest tobac-
co markets in the world. 1t is distribut
ing market, and its merchants are quick to
avail themselves of good market in any
city of Europe or America. 1t would seem
probable, therefore, that after all Baltimore
is the best place to sell Maryland tobacco,
for here there is a competition among buy
ers for the various markets.-Baltjmore

CURRENCY PROBLEMS.

A remarkable example of the persistence
of political hallucinations is afforded in the
opposition to banks that is maintained by
some newspapers on grounds that, if they
ever were sound, became obsolete gener-
alton and more ago. Many years ago,
when railroads and telegraphs were in
their infancy, but few of the States had
adopted any efficient banking laws, and
many banks were organized on an unsta-
BILE basis, and issued notes without ade-
quate security. The same conditions do
not exist at the present time.
The circulation of all State banks, good
and bad alike was wiped out by the tax
imposed in order to promote the establish
ment of national banks; yet even without
this prohibitory tax, the whole system of
bank note issues must have undergone de-
velopment in these thirty odd years, along
with the general financial development
that has brought all parts of the country
into close and constant communication,
and to assume that banks of issue in any
State would be or could be now conducted
in the loose manner possible in many of
them before the war is not merely gratui-
tous but absurd
1t is notorious fact that very many
parts of the country are without the bank
ing facilities that they need The whole
number of national banks is less than it
was three years ago, and less than it was
last year: and their circulation has ceased
to perform the functions expected of it.
There is therefore an absolute necessity to
modify the national banking laws, unless
we are to surrender all the many advan-
tages of banks of issue and depend entire
ly upon our present irrational and danger

The silver cranks are all wrong in their

if this were wisely undertaken much of

modern improvements in credit and ex-
