Stockholders Object-Elkton Fair
r1atters to be Looked Into-PeOple
Holding Stock Advised
Not to Sell
Not to Sell.

An undercurrent of dissatisfac
ton on the part of large number
of stockholders of the Cecil County
Agricultural Society, regarding the
management of matters pertaining
to the Society has long existed, and
the refusal of the managers of this
years Fair to admit stockholders
free as has heretofore been the Gus
tom has tended to aggravate many
of those interested.
The latter class recently held an
independent meeting, when the
committee advised stockholders
''not to sell their shares to any per
son, but to hold them, as move
ment is on foot, of which further
notice will be given, to manage the
Fair in the interests Of those who
own it,"
The dissatisfied stockholders, or
many of them at least, claim that
for two years past a large revenue
has been received from race meets,
stable rents, etc., and that no pub
lie statements of receipts and dis
bursements has been made, and
that in making large purchases OF
building material, ETC., competition
was not solicited. The purchase of
stock, too, by certain interested
parties has Occasioned cOnsidera BILE
comment.
On the other hand, the managers
claim they are working for the best
interests of the Association, that it
is in a prosperous condition, etc.
The stockholders who desire an
accounting have organized, en-
ployed counsel, and, we under
stand, have called upon the treas
urer of the Society to render
financial statement.
The result of future proceedings
will be watched with interest, not
alone by the stockholders, hut by
the public at large.-Appeal.
This promises to he one of the
most interesting "meets" the Fail
has ever had. After such proceed
ings the concerns generally go into
the hands of receiver.

The Pill THAT WILL,
A Fish Story.

Fish stories are always popular
and the following one told by the
Perryville Record is too good to be
lost
"Many large catches have been
made, but the seasons record for a
catch with rod and reel has prob
ably been established by Messrs.
VIM. III. Moynon, of New York,
and Harry w. Quick, of Philada.,
who spent three days on the water
recently. The first day they sue
ceeded in taking 50 fish, weighing
377 pounds; the second day they
caught 81, weighing 1T pounds;
and the third day they captured
10, weighing $40 pounds, making a
total of 1913 fish, aggregating 1,034
pounds. In addition to this they
caught "a small rock fish, weighing
less than two pounds each, which
they put back into the river.
"Their phenomenal success is
partly attributed to the use of the
blood worm as a bait. This bait is
taken from the flats in Long Island
sound at low tide, and rock fish
and bass take it with avidity. The
largest ones of the last days catch
were strung upon pole, and, with
the smaller ones piled around,
were photographed by A. L. Barry.
Many of the fish caught weighed
from II to Is pounds EACH"

No Pay for Holidays.

The frequent notice of the MID
LAND JOURNAL of holiday abuse
which threatened to consume the
greater part of the school year has
at last stirred up the School Board
to a sense of duty to the public and
children and they have adopted a
new schedule of salaries which will
do away with the trouble occasioned
by the occurrence of holidays.
Hereafter the teachers will be paid
according to the number of days

Tly Last Dear Brother,

Or list the spirit whisper there

Come to the quiet resting place,
The Christians last abode
Where may there supremacy rest
Forever with my God.

Three sisters in their narrow home
Dear brother, in thy loneliness
At midnight hour, ! could not come.
Thou vert not even then alone,
The power of love watched over thee
To guide to the Eternal Throne
Where sorrow never more may be.
No death chill on thy silent form.
No ice cold drop upon thy brow;
Thy spirit gather'd softand warm;
Our Saviour guards my brother now,
I'd plant rose on thy green mound
where one dear form beside thee lies,
Whose peaceful spirit now resounds
In anthems far above the sky.
I'd watch the bud that first might bloom:
Would seek the pure white blossom there
Above my tender brothers tomb,
Sweet fragrence scented everywhere.
Then might turn away and seek
A quiet spot in some lone dell,
And for my last dear brother weep
My solemn. sorrowful farewell.
No word but tenderness 10 me
From my dear hrother's lip to tell
Thy peaceful spirit now is free,
And l must say farewell farewell.

Reported to the Senate-Provisions of
the Bill.

the Uncomphagre reservation in Utah.
A provision is also inserted in regard to
the support of Indian schools, giving the
secretary authority to make contracts
with contract schools, ,apportionipg the
amount paid thus among the various re-
ligious denominations, but these contracts
are to be made only where nOn-sectarian
schools can not be procured. The pro-
vision is the same as that of the present
law, except that the percentage is re-
duced from so to 40 per cent. Among
amendments to the legislative feature
are the following:
Giving competent Indians the prefer
ence in the employment of farmers at
Indian agencies; striking out the provis-
ion allowing Quapaw Indians to lease
their land in Indian Territory and insert
ing the privilege allowing the Sisseton
and Wahpeton Indians the right to make
leases; requiring the commissioner of In
dian affairs to employ Indian girls as as
sistant matrons and Indian boys as as
sistant farmers wherever practicable to
do SO; authorizing disabled Indians to
lease the lands allotted to them; provid-
ing for q commission to treat with the
Rosebud and Lower Brule Indians for
the cession of their lands; providing for
commissioner to superintend the sale
of Indian lands; comforting jurisdiction
upon the court of claims in the Cherokee
outlet settlers claims.
The agreement with the Shoshone and
Arapahoe tribes in Wyoming for the ces-
sion of the Big Horn hot springs is also
inserted as an amendment.
As reported, the bill shows an increase
of $247 $3.50 over the amount appropriated
by the house bill, making total OF
81 800, 496.
The principal item of this increase is
S141 800 for the resurvey of the lands
of the Chickasaw Nation; $4,000 is pro-
vided for irrigation on Indian reserva'
tons, instead Of $4,000 as in the house

ABD|CAHON WAS NOT LEGAL
QUEEN LILIUOKALANPS AGHNN
PUBLISHED A CARD IN A
WASHINGTON PAPER.
SIGNATURE OBTAINED UNDER DURESs
She Signed the Document in Prison to.
Save the Lives of Personal Friends.
Statement Doubtless Inspired BY
Her Majesty.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Julius /. Palmer.
representative of ex-Queen Liliuokalani OF
Hawaii, in card to the Evening Star,
says that the abdication of the ex-auees
was procured under duress and is voh
because of this reason and because devoii
of legal formalities. He states that the
queen of Hawaii has never formally al
dicated and is still the legal ruler of
Hawaii, but that she forbears to enforce
her legitimate rights. 1t is supposed
that the ex-queen inspired the card.
AT the Hawaiian legation the card was
read with interest but without concern,
and is there regarded simply as an ex-
preston from royalist standpoint of an
eventful episode in Hawaiian history, but
as not at all iikeiy 10 have any practical
influence.
Mr.. Palmer's card was callAd forth, as
he explains, by the publication in the Star
recently of the queens abdication. He
refers to the document as "a brief drawn
by Hon. A. s. Hartwell, chief counsel for
the corporation of sugar planters and
lawyers, now posing as the Hawaiian re-
public'--having no legal force whatever,
void when written and which could not
be sustained in any court of equity IN
any civilized land"
lie further says the queen was forcibly
confined in the Iolani palace, and, being
told that those she loved, her personal
friends, were awaiting execution, signed
the act of abdication as the only means
to save them.
The ring of Adventures knew their
victim says Mr.. Palmer. Had they
proposed her immediate death they could
| not have terrified her, but to save those
she loved, she executed the document"
He further says that not only was the
queens signature obtained under duress,
but that it was worthless from another
reason-it was not her legal signature.
| Her prosecutors Overreached themselves,
he says, and, out of excess Of caution,
required her to sign as "Liliuakalani
Dominis," which was not her legal sig
nature. Legally there is not and never
was such n person. The document
should have been signed "LiliuokaIani
Regina"
| Mr. Palmer, who refuses to admit that
he speaks for Liliuokalani by direction,
closes his card by this statement, perhapa
| significant of future intentions:
mo question is ever settled until it is
settled right, and that the whole
Hawaiian matter should be properly re
viewed is the opinion of great many
of the people of the United States
