To Lessen LerIslatIen.

Senator Randall's bill to put brake
upon the great bulk of legislation was
up before the Senate last night on its
third reading, but an adjournment was
taken before a vote was reached. This
measure provides that all private and
local bills must be printed at the cost of
the promoters, and copies be filed with
the Secretary of State 80 days before their
introduction. 1t is designed to secure
full publicity of proposed laws affecting
various interests, and to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of large number Of useless
bills. 1t appears that there were 800
bills introduced at the last session. Of
which only 500 became laws. The author
of the bill. who feels sanguinity regard
lug its prospects, says that it will save
time and much unnecessary work. A
law clerk is to be appointed under it at
a salary of $40 per day when employed.

A BLOW AT ST. JOHNS.
Bill Introduced Last Might to Deprive
IL of its Appropriation.

IL of its Appropriation.
Delegate Cook. of Washington coun-
ty, introduced two bills in the House
of Delegates lastnight, which strike a
severe blow at st. Johns and the
Maryland Agricultural Colleges, two
of the leading educational institutions
which receive State aid The first Dill.
relating to st. Johns College, takes
away from that institution all appropria-
tiohs which are provided by special acts
now on the statute books. Que of these
acts which Mr.. Cook s bill seeks to re-
peal provides that the State shall give To
the college settled annuity, in return
for which it is agreed that the college
shall educate free of cost two students
from each senatorial district in the State,
and it is further specified that the stu
dents SO educated shall teach for at least
two years in the public schools of the
State. Another act which Mr.. Cook
would have repealed also donates an an
nual SUN to the college, for which it is re-
quired to give free tuition to certain
number of INDECENT pupils. Mr.. Cook
says his reason for desiring the repeal OF
these acts is that if st. John 8 College ls

WHICH WOulu keetll W U6 Tue puIpUbS III
the acts in question, then he thinks they
should he placed absolutely under State
control, and be made subject to the SUI
pervision of the State board Of education,
which they are not now.
Mr.. Cook s second bill provides for the
sale of the States interest in the Mary
land Agricultural College and the farm
OH which the college IS located. The
power to make this sale is vested In the
board of public works, who shall give
sixty days. notice of public sale OF this
interest. Sealed proposals for this in
terest are to be received and the board
is given the discretion to reject all the
bids if the price offered is not in Its
judgment sufficient. In case OF fall
ure to make a public sale the board il
empowered to sell the property at pri-
yate sale on the best terms obtainable.
Mr.. Cook says bis purpose in intrOduc
ing this bill is TO divorce the State eli.
tirely from these institutions and make
them stand or fall on their merits in
stead of looking to the State continually
for support.

A DISTRESSING FIRE.
Three Children Burned to Death While
Mother and Father Were at
Work i'm the Field.

One Of the most distressing fires thal
has ever occurred III this county was that
which took place on farm about two
miles from Waterbury on the A., w. Il
b. Railroad on Friday afternoon last
A house occupied by Russian named
Shultz and family, consisting of his wife
and three small children, was destroyed,
together with all its contents. including
some money. Two of the children, the
oldest of whom was two years, and the
other baby, were burned TO death in
the building. The other child, aged four
years, was burned SO badly she died Satnr-
day from her injuries. Shultz rented
the property from the vestry of st.
Stephen 3 Protestant Episcopal Church
and had been living on the place about
eighteen months. He and his wife had
locked the children in the house and went
into the field to work, half mile away.
The fire was discovered by the family of
Rev. Mr.. Mumford, rector of the parish,
who sent two servants to investigate.
When they arrived at the house, short
distance away, smoke was issuing from
windows and the flames coming through
the roof. An alarm was Immediately
given by the ringing of the church bell.
This summoned the neighborS and the
door of the burning house was broken
open. Two of the children, as stated
above, were dead aud the other was bare
ly alive when rescued. The little girl
was removed to the rectory, where every
thing was done to alleviate hersufferings.
The family of Mr.. Mumford and neigh
bors kindly assisted the survivors, by
the burning of whose house everything
they owned was lost. The parents of
the children who lost everything by the
fire, are in great distress and kind neigh
bors have done all in their power to re-
lieve their wants.

Have Bridemaids Who Walk Wen.

I'm selecting bridesmaids wisely
expounds a young woman engaged in
that interesting occupation, cit is not
beauty that counts SO much as style and
carriage. In particular you want girls
who walk well. The slow march down
the aisle is the best test Of gait I know
of. I've watched bridal PROFESSIONS Of
ten and I've seen girls %radiantly pref
ty lose all the effect of their good looks
by their hobbling walk. Try to move
the feet forward very slowly and see
how easily it becomes a limping hitch.
1t should be a glide, then the slowness
is stately. The bride herself is helped
by her long train, her dropping head,
and the leaning on her fathers arm
before and her husbands after the cere-
mony, but the bridemaid wears a short
gown, must look on a level, walks up
and down at the side of another girl,
and so has her own grace alone on
which to depend. A girl who walks
we'll, whose head is well set on her
shoulders, and whose hair arranges
well makes a good appearance as a.
bridemaid, yer if she lacks extraordi-
nary beauty of face"

Do no backbite their associates.
Do not indulge in cheap cynicism.
Do not discourse in a frothy style.
Do not dress to outshine their sisters.
Do not converse in a pedagogic vein.
Do not aim to have a world-worn air.
Do not tell either girls or men of
their prowess as a "scalper."
Do not try to be the most conspicuous
feature in the landscape.
Do not make such a fetch Of frank
ness as to be rude and tactless. 4.
Do not seek to be witty at the ex-

Do not dress so badly that they
