Taxing 1OrtgageS.

The old, old Maryland question of tax
ing mortgages is again up in the legisla-
ture. 1t hobs up at every session, and
like the orthodox question, you'll be
damned if you do and be damned if you
don't"
We make the following suggestion to
the members over which to scratch their
wise heads. Make all mortgages nom
lien on farms; that no farm shall be sold
to satisfy mortgage which may be given
after the passage of the law. 1t were
infinitely better for man to sell the farm
if he is not able to pay for it than to lay a
mortgage on it. He will never be able to
pay off the mortgage in all probability
and will become a mere slave working
himself to death paying interest or the
mortgage, and finally give up in despair
and let the mortgage quietly take the
farm, thing which he should have done
at the beginning and saved the toll of
himself and family which for years had
gone to pay interest, in addition to the
years of anxiety and dread of the final
result 1t would be kindness to Mary
land farmers for the legislature to make
mortgages a non-lein on farms.

Teeth of Pearl.

We are in receipt of a handsome
brochure entitled "Teeth of Pearl, "
issued by the Consolidated Dental
Mfg. Co., 80 West 42d St., New
York. 1t is a work of art and
proves entertaining reading wheth-
er one is interested in dental sup
plies or not. In a chapter devoted
to the personnel of the Company
we notice the familiar face of Mr..
John r. Sheppard, former Rising
Sun boy, who, although young in
years, has already worked his way
to an enviable position. DR.. j. f.
Frantz. native of Lancaster Co.,
Pa, is president and general man.
ager of the company, which was
organized last year. The Com
pany is anti-combine from start to
finish, for be it known there is a
dental trust in operation which has
been controlling the prices on sup
plies for some time, and the Con-
solidated being amply supplied
with the "sinews of war;" pro-
poses to give the trust hard fight
and right must win.

Death of James T. Graham.

James T. Graham, clerk of the
Circuit Court died at his home, in
Liberty Grove, at an early hour
Monday morning, after a long ill
ness of consumption.
Mr.. Graham was well known and
very popular. He was elected
clerk Of the court in 1891.
Mr.. Graham's pleasant, affable
manners made him popular with
the public. His political success
was largely due to his natural
ability as a fluent stump speaker.
Mr.. Graham was a member of the
Masonic Order, Odd Fellows,
Knights of Pythias, Knights of the
Golden Eagle and Junior Order U.
A. M.
He was never married. His
mother and two sisters and a brother
survive him. Mr.. Graham had
accumulated considerable of an
estate, and in addition carried
about 500, 900 insurance on his life.
The deceased was born on St.
Valentines day, February IA, 1868,
and was a son of the late Theodore
Graham. His mother, was Miss
Eliza j. Caldwell.
Mr.. Graham began his business
career when at about the age of
thirteen, and his course in life was
continuously upward. He first en-
gagged in the mercantile and canning
business at Conowingo, with Mr..
g. G. Caldwell of Liberty Grove,
and was subsequently instrumental
in organizing the Eureka Fertilizer
Co. at Perryville.
His funeral was held on Thurs
day from his mothers residence at
Liberty Grove. His remains were
buried at West Nottingham Pres
byterian Cemetery, the Masons
having charge of the interment.
For many months Mr.. Graham
has been unable to attend to any
official business, Messrs. Green and
Williams having performed all the
duties, proving that the office
should be made a salaried Office.
Our members should at once bring
bill for that purpose before the
legislature.

The congregation of the Metho

session last Sunday asking the
members of the House of Delegates
and the Senator from this county
to use their influence for the pass
age of the anti-race bill, pending
in the House Of Delegates, presented
by Delegate w. J. Smith. The
Law and Order League is making
strenuous efforts to have the bill
passed, as it will prohibit the sell
ing of pools on race tracks in Cecil
county and prevent the Maryland
Racing Association holding their
spring at Elkton as contemplated.

The little daughter of Mr.. Fred Webber,

cough which he had not been able to
cure with anything. I gave him rs
cent bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, says w. P. Holden, merchant

There is no danger in giving it to children
for it contains nothing injurious. For

The next lecture of the university series
will. be on Byron, delivered in Odd
Fellows Hall Elkton, Monday evening,
March I'd. Byron in some respect stands
at the head of English poets. Don Juan
in some parts inclined to be smutty, but
it also contains the finest verses the poet
ever penned, and for diction and master
expression nothing in the English begins
to approach it. The third canto of
"Child Harold" is generally placed at the
head of the poets works, but the Bride
of Abedos" and "Giaour' are simply
charming Lara" is polished and classical.
His tragedies are all weired and magma
tive, not intended for the stage.

stay in Florida, will leave New
York and Philadelphia on February
% and March 3, 1896. The rate,
including transportation, meals en-
route, and Pullman berth on special

24h of August, 1890 The bill further alleges that

said John NJ. Webster, has, without any just cause
or reason abandoned and deserted her, and has
declared his intention to live with her no longer,

During the intensely cold weather
of last week two men went out from
Havre de Grace in skiff to capture
a runaway boat. When three miles
from shore, on account of the ice,
cold and high wind they were un-
able to make the shore and were
in danger of being frozen. They
were seen from shore to be in a
perilous condition and four men
put out in a row boat with blankets
and robes to rescue them. They
found the men nearly frozen and
after wrapping them up in blankets
prepared to return but found their
boat ice bound and were compelled
to stay on the water in their boat
till morning when they were able
to reach Stump's Point by walking
