]. f. Parsons, of No. 446 South Spring
street, last evening reported to the police
station that he had been bitten in the FORE
noon by Gordon setter owned by the
Pearson family, living at No. 1855 Hill
street. Mr.. Parsons said that while the
dog is not savage as rule, he attacked
him without provocation, and that last
week he bit one Of his children. Mr.. Par
sons was severely bitten in the left thumb,
and thinks that the animal should be
killed. Complaint will be made today and

Jere RenauIt Has His Examination Before
Justice Young
Jere Renault, the Frenchman whom it is
alleged assaulted little Henrietta and Mar
guerita Kersanson, twin sisters, with in
tent to ruin them, was yesterday held to
answer to the superior court by Justice
Young.
The little girls both testified as to the
conduct of Renault: They told straight
story without hesitation, although they
could not understand the purport of all the
proceedings, which were to them very
strange.
Renault took the stand in his own behalf
and talked for about half an hour in a
rambling sort of way. There was neither
head nor tail to his story, and when he had
concluded Justice Young knew no more
than he did when he commenced. The
Justice fixed Kenault's bail at $4,000, and
as he could not give it he was sent back to

Encarnacion Buelna died along back in
December, 1870, just little over quar-
ter of a century ago. At that time he had
an estate worth about $4,000. II Encar-
naicon were alive today he would un-
doubtedly be greatly disappointed at the
way his $4,000 has been scattered
around.
For over 25 years his estate has been 60
ing through administration and it has had
a very expensive trip. Its journeys are now
over, however, for yesterday Public Ad-
ministrator Frank M. Kelsey finally SET
tied it up in department two of the superior
court.
OF the original estate there remained
just even AZ cents. Nobody could be
found to claim it, and the public admins
traitor did not know what to do with it.
The sum was not a large one, still it had
to go somewhere.
So Judge Clark made an order directing
Mr.. kelsey to pay the az cents into the
county treasury. This Mr.. Kelsey did and
thus ends the chapter.

mo DOUBT"

you have been told by Clothing Merchants that our
goods are not as good as their goods, because we
sell them cheap We therefore would advise you
not to allow yourself to be misguided by their talk
This reminds us of the merchant who once came
to the railroad station to buy ticket to get to
town. where the railroad fare was $500. He laid
down his money and asked for ticket, and the
ticket agent told him, that they were running an
excursion and therefore the fare would only be half
The merchant quickly took back his money and
said he wanted none of these cheap tickets, and
the agent asked him why He said he did not be-
ieve the company could afford to give him as good
ride for half the fare they could for full fare
and presumes they are going to use their old en-
gines their old cars, and the engineer will wear his
old overalls, and the fireman will be drunkard
and the conductor will be divorced man, and
therefore he would rather wait to ride the train
where they will charge the full fare but, thanks to
the intelligence of our customers, they all do not
believe like this merchant Come and you will be
convinced, with our low prices, and good quality
of the goods Hoping you will come and examine
our goods and prices, which are positively sure
will prove satisfactory We Yours Respectfully,

\ GOOD THING.

EVERY Marylander should rejoice
that State Board of Immigration
was created by the last Legislature,
and especially is Worcester County
interested in this new department of
the Government of Maryland. We
have more land than our farmers can
till, and consequently they are land
poor" What we need and what we
want is class of Sweeds or Germans
who are not paupers, TO he brought
here TO till some of the thousands of
acres of idle land which can he bought
for a mere song. Either OF the nation
alities referred to produce good, hard
working, industrious farmers and we
believe the Eastern Shore is the place
for them. A description Of the work
10 be done by the new department
is thus mapped out by the Morning
Herald
The act authorizing the new State
bureau has several excellent features,
and there is every reason to anticipa te
substantial benefits to flow from il.
An office is to be located in Baltimore
over which a paid secretary is to pre-
side, and it is to be centre of infor-
nation regarding available lands; the
prices at which they can be bought,
and the natural resources of the sew
eral Maryland counties
A superintendent also is provided
for. and the law requires that he shall
not only assist the other commission
ers in directing the afIairso Of the home
Office, but that he shall spend four
months each year in foreign lands
seeking immigrants for Maryland.
While at home he devotes himself TO
securing migrations from other States,
and indirectly, in advertising the re-
sources OF Maryland.
II will thus be seen that the plan
proposed has several practical phases.
and is not too much to expect that
considerable additions will be made to
the agricultural population of the
commonwealth through the work Of
this bureau.
Ii is TO he hoped that some man
with special capabilities for the work
may he found to direct the organiza-
ton OF the board, and to serve IN the
capacity Of superintendent.
