A Watchmaker's Epftaph,

The following curious inscription to
the memory .of George Routleigh, a
matchmaker by trade, occurs in the
churchyard of Lydford, Devon
Here lies in horizontal position
The outside case
George Routleigh,
whose abiding in that line
was an honor
To his Profession.
Integrity was his handspring and pru-
dence the regulator of all the
actions of his life.
Humane, generous and liberal,
His hand never stopped till he had re-
lieved distress
Sincerely regular were his motions
He never went wrong
Except when set agoing
By People
who did not know his KEY
Even then he was easily set right again
He had the art of disposing of his time
so we'll
That his hours glided in one continual
round of pleasure and delight
Till an unlucky minute put an end to
his existence.
He departed this life
November. 1902,
Wound up
In hope Of being taken in hand
By his Maker
And of being thoroughly cleaned, re-
paired and set agoing
In the world to come.

Sagacity of Crows.

"Crows are SO fond of eggs" writes
a farmer, "that you can play some
amusing tricks on them. One summl I
| placed stuffed roIcupine in field,
spread lit'le straw aver it, and stuck
some hens eggs on he quills. A crow
soon spied the eggs from a tree tor,
and flew down IN g-t one. 1t alightod
on the ground near by, and then ii
fitted up and settled down on the
straw; but ii bopred of very suddenly,
looked sideways al the eg,s, ard
scratched around, a. if its feet did not
feel exactly natural. The crow tried
again, got his feet pricked and flew
back to the tree, where it sat silently
till two more crows got fooled in the
same way, then it began to coo and
chuckle as if it were laughing at them.
Then the two joined him, and the
three sat on the tree till two more got
their soles pricked, when the five went
squalling to the woods. The next
morning l noticed big flock of crows
flying backward and forward from the
woods to the porcupine. Finally they
all disappeared. and found that the
black scamps had outwittei me, for
they had piled up lot of twigs on the
quills, and on them the cunning crows
had got foothold, stuck their bills
into the eggs, and had carried them
off,"

is claimed to be very hardy, with a
tendency to overbear. The trees of
this variety in Mr.. Phillips orchard

TOMATOES.

1t is stated that the acreage in to-
matoes on the Peninsula this year is
only one-half that of 1894, and the
crop prospect for this reduced acreage
is reported to be only about Is per
cent of fair yield, ard this may still
further be reduced by the blight, which
has made its appearance upon the PEN
insula. In 1894 the tomato pack of
the "a packers on the peninsula was
1901 $50 three-pound cans; this year
the pack is estimated at 761, 900 three
pound ems.

QUEEN ANNE's RAILROAD.
1t seems probable that the projec-
tors of the new cross-Peninsula rail-
road do not intend to allow it to re-
main In the same situation as are most
of the enterprises of that character in
Maryland. The State has enough rail-
roads on paper and too few on terra
firma. Arrangements have been made
for the erection of pier at Queens
town, the western terminus of the
rail route, and the surveys of the first
section, from Queenstown to Denton,
are completed, and the actual work of
construction will be entered upon in a
few days.
This road will extend from Queens
town, on tina Chesapeake bay, to Lewes
and Rehoboth, on the Delaware, pass
ing through the centre of the Maryland
and Delaware Peninsula. The route
from Denton to Lewes has not yet been
definitely settled upon. A change in
the original course to include George
town, the county-seat of Sussex. in
Delaware, and the chief town in the
lower part of that State, is being dis
cussed. The road will pass through a
fair and fertile country, peculiarly
adapted for trucking and the raising of
diversified crops, and will touch nu-
merous important towns, advantage.
ously located for manufacturing indus
tries. 1t will develop section of the
Delaware bay beach ideally situated
for summer and winter homes.
Quick transportation will work
metamorphosis in the central belt Of the
Peninsula. Much of its trade has gone
TO Philadelphia and New York, that
would naturally come to Baltimore
with adequate transportation facilities.
That section of the Eastern Shore con-
tigous to the Chesapeake and traversed
by the numerous tributaries of that bay
owns commercial allegiance to this
city, but the intercourse between the
two is confined to steamboats,, which
require from one to three days for a
single trip: The section of country
which the Queenstown-Lewes road will
open up has been deprived of all save a
moderate development Of it's natural
resources by reason of its Inadequate
railroad system. The Pennsylvania
has line bisecting the State of Della
ware, with four feeders penetrating
the Eastern Shore of Maryland, but
great stretches of the Peninsula are re-
mote from these lines. The Delaware
bay terminus or termini of the new
road will be within three and one-half
hours of the city of Baltimore,l 4 and
the intermediate country considerably
nearer to this city than its residents
have ever deemed possible. The great
bulk of the produce and manufactures
of the region will come to Baltimore.
and its merchants and people will draw
such supplies as they are dependent
upon city for from here. An enor-
nous stimulus to Industrial activity
and rapid growth Of population will |
follow the completion of the proposed
railroad. Baltimore has a fruitful |
outlet for its capital and enterprise in |
the middle coul try between the BAYS.

On the suggestion that there had
also been some inquiry regarding Gov

Morton is strong man. He left the

But you know over there they have

n LITTLE CHILD hILLED.
Fell From q Window Mt the Children's
Hospital.

A little child, Sarah Sturdivant, fell from
the second story window of the Children's
Hospital at $40 O'Clock this morning, re-
ceiving fracture of the skull. from which
she died this afternoon. 1t Is customary
for the children of the hospital who are
able to play in the grounds to be given this
privilege, but little Sarah Sturdivant, but
young to be taken out. and while the
nurses were looking after the other chill
dren she was left in a bath ROOM The
window of the bath room is protected by
iron Stats, SO placed that 1t was thought
there would be no danger of child falling
out
The child was left in the bath room but
few minutes, but before the nurse returned
it had crawled through one Of the Stats or
above the top Stat, and had fallen dis
lance of twenty-five feet. Immediate atten-
ton was given the child by DR.. F. r. Hag-
ner. the resident physician, and DR.. John
Van Rensselaer,, the attending surgeon.
The fracture of the skull was attended
to- but later in the day evidences of in
ternal injuries became evident by a swell
ing of tie stomach.
Little Sarah Sturdivant was taken to the
Children's Hospital some days ago suffer-
irg from pm eumonia. She had about re-
physicians to send to her parents, who are
colored people, and who live on Fountain
place, between LIST and I'd and K and L
streets, today, and ask that they come for
the child.
The coroner was this afternoon notified
of the fatal result of the accident and
will make an investigation.

son for 1t.

There is every reason to believe that
within short time there will be a reorgan-
ization of the detective force,
It is thought that with the Anal DISPOSE
ton of the case of Detective Proctor by
the Commissioners the general shake up
will come. The testimony in this case
opened the eyes of the Commissioners to
several important facts. 1t was stated to-
day that in the testimony of Inspector
Hollinberger, who is at the head Of the
detective force, that official testified that
he was not In the habit of giving his Of
fcers instructions as to how to proceed
with cases. but relied more upon their
good judgment. This statement by the Of
fetal head of the office, who is charged
with the direction of the work of detection,
would seem to indicate that the office need
ed no head, but was fully capable of rum
ming itself.
That Detective Proctor will be punished
there Is little doubt. There Is strange
anomaly in this case. Each specification
was proved, yet the trial board found the
officer not guilty. 1t was charged that he
was guilty of conduct unbecoming an Of
ficer in that he went to Mains house in the
guise of a friend, when really he was at
work on the case. Further. that he worked
on the case two days before he notified his
superior what he was about
The case will not be determined until
Commissioner Ross and Maj. Powell re-
turn. which will probably be some time
during the week.
