claims to have effected two cures oy civ

c. c. Crothers in the Hospital.

Senator Charles G. Crothers ac-

Baltimore Saturday evening for the
purpose of having an operation per-
formed at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
The Baltimore American contains
the following account Of the opera
ton. State Senator Charles c..
Crothers, of Cecil county, was sue
cessfully operated upon Monday
morning, at the Johns Hopkins
Hospital, for cancer of the face.
The operation was an exceedingly
delicate one, necessitating the re-
moval of a portion of the jawbone.
The Senator stood the operation
well and late Monday night was
resting easily. He will remain at
the hospital for several weeks. The
operation was performed by Prof.
w. S. Halstead, assisted by DR..
Joseph G. Bloodgood, the resident
physician at the hospital; DR.. G.
M. Ellis of Cecil county, the Sen
ators' physician, and DIR. A. G.

The Primaries.

Tomorrow the Democrat primary
meetings will be held throughout
the county. The hour of meeting
is 2 O'Clock. The judges for Rising
Sun district are w. w. Nickle, Fl.
j. Briscoe and Slater B. Tosh.
On the following Tuesday the
delegates chosen at the primaries
of the several districts will meet in
Elkton in county convention to form
or nominate the county ticket. That
convention holds the success Or
defeat of the ticket in its hand. If
it acts with wisdom and courage
and shows progressive public
spirit, as well as an honest purpose,
the ticket can be elected. If the
convention fails anywhere in this
the ticket will stand in imminent
danger of defeat. The first essen
tial is candidates without reproach,
whom the people respect. A pro-
gressive spirit on the part of the
convention which is to speak for
the party, must be Enthusiastically
manifested. The convention, what
ever resolutions it may pass should
endorse with no uncertain sound
the Chicago money plank. If there
is any Sinking this and a DISPOSE
ton to dodge and straddle or re-
main silent, then the name of that
ticket is Dennis. Without an I'M
mistakably progressive spirit on
the new lines is shown the reform
vote strictly speaking cannot be
polled for the ticket the convention
puts up and without the Bryan full
vote it cannot be elected notwith-
standing the dissatisfaction which
is daily increasing within the re-
publican party.

TILL rlUST CLOSE.
Susquehanna Water Power and Paper
Company, to Wind Up.

| OuS4uCIidhhd W dLSE fOWCT anu FdpSL
Company, to Wind Up.
From time to time during the
past few months various rumors
have been current regarding the
financial difficulties of the Susque-
hanna Water Power and Paper
Company near Conowingo, Md,
which has been operated for a year
or more by ID. G. Wharton Smith as
receiver. For a time, under the
economical management of the
receiver, the business was fairly
encouraging, but since the first of
the current year it has been I'M
satisfactory and Improbable.
Among the causes of this later
unfortunate condition of affairs,
may be mentioned reduced pro-
duction, brought about by ice, high
water and accidents to machinery,
losses of several thousand dollars
through the failure of customers,
and the steady decline in the price
of the grade of paper which was
the principal product of the mill
Another great drawback has been
the expense of getting spruce wood,
which costs about $40 per cord
delivered at these mills, while
competing mills are located in the
spruce sections and thus are enabled
to get the wood at much lower
price.
The receiver discontinued making
this paper, however, and the works
have been running recently on sui
phite papers, with promise of pro-
fitable results.
The receiver now finds himself
without the capital necessary to
operate the works and there seems
to be no alternative but to wind up
the business and the Court will
probably order this to be done at
once, efforts to secure authority to
issue receivers certificates for 800
900 having been unsuccessful.
The closing of these works will be
a serious matter for all that part of
Hartford county contiguous thereto,
for the large amount of money paid
to employees and spent among the
merchants and tradesmen generally
has contributed largely toward
making that the most prosperous
section of the county. 1t is greatly
to be regretted, therefore, that
have combined to
render the continued operation of
the mill under present conditions
an impossibility. -Belair Times.

Outlaw Race Tracks.

The gamblers have opened a
track in Baltimore county and the
preachers are following them up.
A number of Baltimore county
clergymep met at the Young Mems
Christian Association Building,
Charles and Saratoga streets, Mon
day afternoon and formed an Or
ganization to fight outlaw race
tracks in Maryland.
They adopted resolutions declar-
ing that laws of Maryland, passed
with the avowed purpose of pre-
venting race track gambling, are so
constructed as to furnish an OPP
portunity for the very vices they
profess to prohibit. Rev. John
McElmoyle, of the Elkton Presby-
terrain Church, and Rev. A. S.
Mowbpay, of the Methodist Episco-
pal church of that town, were
present to tell the history of race
tracks in Cecil county and to eX-
plain the law-and order movement
recently inaugurated there. Rev.
Mr.. McElmoyle said the committee
of safety has received an encourag-
ing letter from Governor Lowndes,
promising to do all he can to aid us
in getting rid of this incubus.
