DISPUTED BOUNDARY.
Maryland and West Virginia Claim 40
| Miles.


The survey of the boundary line
between Maryland and West Vir-
ginia, under the direction of the
United States Court of Appeals was
completed Friday The survey has
been made for the purpose of settling
the long standing dispute over the
possession of the territory lying
along the line between the two
states. One of the engineers on be-
half of Maryland said that the state
had made out strong case, and
that about 40 square miles included
in Preston county, w. Va, will go to
Maryland. The engineers ON behalf
of West Virginia will file counter
claim, showing that the result OBJ
tanned in this survey was brought
about because the survey was begun
at the wrong point.
The dispute oyer the line dates
back TO the days before the war,
when what is now West Virginia
was part Of the Old Dominion.
The line which was established by
the survey Of 1859 has been con-
sidered the correct one, though occa-
sional disputes have arisen. By
the new survey West Virginia loses
strip about two miles wide and
running the entire length OF Preston
county. The old boundary inter
sected Mason and Dixon's line near
Markleysburg, in Fayette county,
but the new survey shifts this al
most two miles west. If the new
survey is permitted to stand many
West Virginians will be compelled
to transfer their allegiance to Mary

CONFIDENCE RESTORED.

On every hand there are signs Of
a wholesome improvement in business con-
sitions in Kansas City. Travelling men
whose interests take them to all parts of
the country make and reiterate the state
ment that there is no other city in the
United States which shows the activity
now witnessed in Kansas City. There are
many evidences that the population OF the
city is rapidly increasing. Not only are
there few unoccupied residences, especially
among those of the middle class, but many
new houses are being erected. One cannot
visit any residence portion OF the city with
out seeing signs OF improvement. In the
suburban districts building is especially ac-
tive.
These are only general aspects, but they
are significant. In the line of particular
indications may be mentioned the plen-
ufulness OF money as indicated by the
bank statements. The activity in financial
ciIcles. as shown by the bank clearings,
the loans and discounts. is indicative of n
growing demand for the use OF capital.
The extension OF the Kansas City. Pitts
burg & Gulf railway. with its constantly
expanding terminals. has been refreshing
during the period of lethargy in railroad
business. The recent location in this city
Of several OF the biggest grain firms in the
West is another indication of our increas-
ing importance as a center for the handling
Of products of the great agricultural ter
ritory about us The trade in agricultural
implements in this market IS greater than

Improvements, such as paving, curbing,

These are signs OF better times. They
denote that the long hoped for return OF

Jur,e. and the Right of Property.

From the New York Advertiser.
An opinion on the jury system as it eX-
lists among us, valuable because of the
high place and long experience of the jur-
ist who expresses it, is that of Justice
Dean, of the Pennsylvania supreme court
IL is striking because of its judicial tone
and the facts of forty years experience
produced to support the views advanced.
Justice Deans main point regarding the
operation of juries at the present time is
the failure OF justice through them in civil
trials from the tendency to take from him
who hath TO give to him who hath not.
This has been long disceTned on the bench
and among lawyers, and it gains signif-
canoe from its natural association with the
various manifestations that have appeared.
notably of late. a spirit in certain quarters
antagonistic to the established rights of
property The unwillingness of lawySss
who represent corporations TO try actiO1s
before juries is a familiar fact and refets
ences in such actions are gladly availed Of.
II remains to be shown. of course. that
this is the avoidance of unjust treatment
at the hands of juries, instead of being
an endeavor TO secure more than justice.
Justice Dean does not attack the insti-
tuition of the jury, which he regards as
the chief pillar of our judicial system, but
he rightly asserts that ''nONsystem of gov
ernment can stand which does not protect
the property of the citizen as well as his
person" Indeed, it is because he conceives
it to be a main interest of our society that
the jury system be made unassailable that
he frankly discloses what he believes to be
its vulnerable point. Nor is he without
the remedy-one that has before been in
dcated with authority from the bench. The
character of jurors must be protected. The
root of the evil, says Justice Dean, lies in
the laxity of the enforcement of the law
regulating their selection. Sinking jury
duty, he declares, should be made as odious
as "skulking in time of war" He would
let no eligible citizen make excuse, but
take the banker from his desk, the editor
and professors from their chairs, the
preacher from his pulpit" and let them
take and fulfill the oath of melting out JUS
tice to their fellow citizens.
If perversion of justice is allowed to con-
tinue, he asserts. it will show the way to
revolution under legal forms and the event.
ual abolition of the institution of jury
trials. 1t is to safeguard that institution
that Justice Dean speaks of the facts of

OBJECTIONS At THE ALTAR.

At last the long expected has happened.
Roaders Of fanciful fiction and followers of
the romantic drama have waited in vain
for the demonstration in real life Of ''sn
Interrupted marriage "a foil at the al
tar" or some such elimination of matri-
niUnial designs at the moment OF troih-
plighting. There are many, too, who have
wondered why it never happens that well
informed people DO not speak on some such
occasions 50 that they may not be obliged
ever after 10 hold their peace.
At last, however. the fctions of drama
and novel are in part realized in the case Of
Joseph, the lamplighter, and his 15-year-oid
bride, Josie. who were wed the other day
at Holy Rosary church. 1t was early morn
ing when the bride and groom. accom-
panied by their friends. entered the church
aud stood before the robed priest. Joseph,
in true romantic spirit. had asked only
josie for her consent, and did not deem it
necessary 10 consult her maternal parent.
josie knew, but disregarded, her mothers
objections to the man OF her choice. OF
course all else was forgotten when the
ceremony began.
The dramatic interruption by the mother
may not have been wholly unexpected, al
though It was none the less confusing. But
the occasion, though true to romance in
character. drifts from fctional analogy in
its processes. Instead OF keeping the cen
ter OF tho stage aud pouring forth her de-

THE SENATE IN MOTION.

"I can say for the senators sitting on
this side of the chamber" said Mr.. Aid
rich, in opening the tariff discussion,
that no time will be spent in academic
discussion of the principles OF protection"
This means that, So far as the Republic
ans are concerned, the measure for which
the business of the country is waiting SO
anxiously will not be delayed by stump
speeches. II will be necessary to discuss
some of the schedules of the bill in
practical and business-like way, of course;
Mr.Aidrich would not wish to prevent that.
But rehashing the old protection and free
trade arguments to which the country
has been listening for the last ten years
would be a frittering away OF valuable
time which. in the present emergency,
would be almost criminal.
Nevertheless. it is altogether probable
that considerable time will be consumed in
Just that way. Old blowhards on the
Democratic side will hardly consent to
let an important political measure go
through without some blustery harangues
for the edification of the galleries. no
matter how anxious the country may be
for action. Fancy, for instance. the Hon.
George Graham Vest sitting still and al
lowing a protective tariff measure to pass
without the uncorking Of any frothy elo-
uuence about tariff barons, greedy monop-
plies and the impoverishment of the con-
sumner 1t is simply impossible, and Mr..
Aldrich and the business of the country
might as well resign themselves TO the in
evitable There will be days and prob
ably weeks spent in academic discus
sion,' and, under existing senate rules,
nobody can shut off the noise.
Mr.. Aldrich's remark that his desire for
speedy action is shared by every member
of the senate is probably the expression
Of a wish rather than a conviction. How
ever. there are some senators on the DEM
ocratic side who really favor avoiding de-
lay. and their influence may be SUFFICIENT

A SUBSTITUTE FOR AMPUTATION.

DR.. Reclus. a French surgeon, has set
the medical world TO discussing new
system Of treatment for manned and lac
Grated limbs. He is demonstrating his the
ory in Paris hospital, and is credited by
the medical journals with very remarkable
results His idea is that many limbs now
usually amputated may be saved, and that
nature should be allowed TO determine
when amputation is necessary and then
supply her own means. We quote from the
Medical Times:
Whatever the extent or gravity OF the
LESSONS. he never. under any circumstances,
amputates the injured limb, but merely
wraps it in antiseptic substances by
veritable embalminS process, leaving rat
ure to separate the living from the dead
tissues This method possesses the double
advantage of being much less fatal than
surgical exaiesis. and of preserving for
the use of the patient, If not the entire
limb. at any rate much larger part than
would be left after amputation. The base
OF this treatment lies in the free use of
hot water. After the skin has been shaved
and cleansed from all fatty substances by
ether ETC. in the usual way, a jet of hot
water not higher than IA is made TO irrigate
all the injured surfaces and to penetrate
all the hollows and under all the detached
parts Of the wound without exception. The
advantages of hot water at this high tenn
perature are threefold. First, hot water at
this temperature is antiseptic, heat greatly
increases the potency of antiseptic sub
stances: second, it IS Understanding;
third, it helps to compensate for the loss
of heat during bleeding, and especially
from the traumatic shock. After the EN-
balming' process, and the dead tissue has
separated itself from the living the sur
geon has nothing to do except to divide the
bone at suitable spot"
A lecturer before the recent meeting of
the French congress of surgeons declared
unreservedly that the chopping off of hu-
man limbs directly after an injury would
soon be relegated to the unscientific past.

Is Crime Increasingf

From the New York Herald.
An Episcopal convention in South Caro-
lima has taken a very queer position. II
recently adopted a resolution which en-
pkasizes what it calls the growing disre-
gard of human life which has caused the
crime of homocide to become more and
more prevalent"
Haven't the members of this convention
been a little careless in the use of statis-
tics: We very much doubt the statement,
made with apparent earnestness, that
there are more murders in these days
than formerly. On the contrary. it seems
TO be clear that capital crimes are slowly
on the decrease. 1t is pretty hard for the
world to right about face and go back
ward, and there is no evidence that it is
deing anything so ridiculous.
The second resolution, that the clergy
be requested to preach against homicide,
has a Pickwickian flavor. Are criminals
generally found in fashionable churches?
1t would be rather odd for New York
clergyman to beseech the members of his
congregation not to commit murder.

The Bnldhead MicrObe.


From the New York Herald.
You have been getting bald. ImperceptI-
bly, your hair has been falling away. You
have deceived yourself and tried to deceive
your friends. You have secretly used all
kinds of tonics and restorers until-you
finally are bald.
Why? Badness has been called hered-
itary or said to be superinduced by illness
or worry or wearing hats indoors or early
piety, or a hundred other reasons which
have been banded about only to be dis
proved. 1t is within a very short time that
a French savant has discovered the true
inwardness of the billiard ball head. He
has cultivated a microbe. the microbe Of
badness, and thus describes its dreadful
work:
1T invades the periphery OF the hair folli-
cles and brings about an influx OF leuco-
oytes which choke the bulb and arrest its
development.
If this Is the case, OF course. there is not
the slightest hope for bald heads. unless
this savant or some other discovers the
baldheaded microbe killer. in which case
we presume the leucocytes would disap-
pear. the bulb renew It's activities. fresh
crop of hair burst through the scalp, and
the unlucky subjects of many feeble Jokes
be finally relieved from personal remarks.
