John X. Cowen, member of Congress
from the Fourth Maryland district, who
was recently elected to the presidency
OF the Baltimore ana Ohio Railroad,
has been prominent in the politics OF
his State for many years. He is said
to be In close contact with President
Cleveland, and It is argued that In view
of this fact and the political enmity
existing between Mr.. Cowen and Sena-
tor German, Mr.. Cowen's selection as
president of the Baltimore and Ohio
has no little political significance.
Mr.. Cowen was born in Ohio about
55 years ago. He was graduated from
Princeton College, at which Institution
he formed an intimate acquaintance
with Robert Garrett, which is responsi,
BILE for Mr.. Governs present influential

Slavery In Great Britain.

Slavery survived in England much
later than is generally supposed. The

still means female farm servant. The
coolies and salters-i. O., salt miners-of
East Lothian were actually slaves till
1775. II they deserted their service, any
one harboring them was liable to pen
