stocks invited buying again and restored

TRACK ANo STABLE GOSSIP.

While it had been the practice TO ac-
ceiit conditional entries in certain cases
where there was Il probability OF acces-
sions to the bona fide list that might not
otherwise be received, yet 1t had been
Rigbys policy. Mr.. Farnnam says. to
keep the conditionals down to mini
mum. AS compared with some other race
tracks. he adds. Rigby's reputation in
this line has been far less open TO cen
sure. The Rigby management will insist
that il the board of review OF the national
trotting association is to take up TINS
,natter All other tracks shall be given Il
similar examination as to their methods:
The result may be Il revolution!zlng OF
the system of soliciting and COMPUTING en-

ruling the national association may m
a,,glirate. but it's owners feel that this

Mr.. James A. Bond.

Mr. James A. Bond died at his home
stead, on Battle creek, Calvert county, on
Saturday, May 1, in the eighty-fifth year
of his age. He was a member of one of
the Oldest and most prominent families
of Calvert county. He was widely known
and most highly respected. He was noted
for his answering integrity and fidelity
IN the performance of duty. During his
long life he filled nearly every office in
the gift of the people. He served several
terms as county commissioner and judge
of the Orphans Court. He was also a
member of the House of Delegates and
once represented Calvert county in the
State Senate. During the later years of
his life, although not taking an active
part in political affairs, he felt a lively
interest in all that affected the public well
fare. and with his vigorous intellect, com
mended such legislation as his honest
judgment approved and fearlessly con-
demned that which he considered detr-
mental to the interest of his fellow citi-
zens. He married Miss S. E. G. Hance,
who died one year ago. Five sons sur
vive him-John 7. Bond and B. B. D.
Bond, of Calvert county; ex-Judge James
A. c. Bond, of Westminster, Carroll
comfy; DR.. Y. H. Bond, of St. Louis, Mo,
and H. NJ c. Bond, of Baltimore city.

Advance in Coffee.

Recent advances in the price of green
coffee have created the belief among the
trade that an upward movement may be
looked for Tuesday No 7 grade, on
which dealings are based, sold at 81 cents
a pound, or cents pound higher than
Wednesday and "A cent more than the
lowest point reached by the late de-
cline.
1t is stated that about three -fourths of
the recent importations of coffee were for
the Arbuckles and the Sugar Trust, who
are the principals in the coffee war,
which brought down the price of roasted
coffee. Leading importers outside of
these contestants are said to be heavy
buyers of grsen coffee at the advanced
prices, and at the market Tuesday was
reported to be very firm.
Reports received by roasters from the
country trade indicate better demand.
News of this sort is considered as illus
trative of an improvement in general con-
ditions, owing to the almost universal
use of coffee.

for a member of months and those who
were anxious about his condition were
not imprepared for the sad intelligence.
Mr. Mullikin was native of this county,
having been born at the family home
stead near Groom, and was engaged in
farming during the early portion of his
life For the past thirty years he lived
in Baltimore and was prominent IN the
tobacco trade, being connected at differ
ent times with well known firms. He had
been salesman for the Maryland Com
mission Agency since its organization.
Tobacco growers had sympathetic
friend in the person of the deceased. He
was ever on the alert to protect their IN
terests and few realize how much he &C
complshed by his energy and good Judg-
ment for the benefit of the people OF this
section. Urbane in manner, kind and
considerate of every one, thoroughly hon
orable and conscientious, he wasdesevred-
lv esteemed not only by friends in the
country, but by the tobacco buyers and
by all with whom he had business rcla-
lions.

\ Visit to Cheltenham.

A committee of the Gran d Jury of Bal
timorc City last Thursday made visit of
inspection to the House of Reform alton
for Colored Boys at Cheltenham. They
were shown: through the different d epart-
ments by General John w. Horn, Super
intendant of the institution and the work
ings of each department were explained
to them. This institution is the only one
of it's kind in the United States courts
The institution can care for three hun
are over crowded now, as there are three
hundred and twenty-five boys at the
place.
There are six different schools at the in
stitution, at which the boys are taught to
read and write for five hours each day,
and the other five hours they are at work
in the industrial department learning tail
oring, shoemaking and Gaming chair seats
Owing to the lack of approximations by
the legislature the manual training de-
partments are in the bascmc mt of the diff
erent buildings, and the boys cannot be
taught as thoroughly as. would be desired,
as there is a lack of necessary facilities.
The grounds include seven hundred and
fifty acres of land, three hundred and
fifty acres of which are cultivated, and 0 n
which large part of the vegetables that
are consumed, are raised The clothing,
shoes and other articles of wearing appar-
| ell that are used are all made by the boys.
Being a special occasion. Superinten-
dant Horn had quite a dinner prepared
| for visitors Besides the committee of the
Grand Jury there were present, President
| Frank Woods, Secretary Joseph J. Jan
ney and Henry c. Reed. one of the Board
of Managers. The visitors expressed
themselves as very much pleased at this dis
cipline, and also approved of the system
in vogue.
In the afternoon the boys were called
into the chapel and sang several hymns,
after which they listened to some good
advice from Junior John III. Butler
The committee representing the Grand
Jury were Messrs. Faris G. Pitt, John II
Butler, William F. Hutchins, Horace No
bic and W. L. Boyd.
