Maryland Wants His Statue In the

The Maryland Historical Society, at a
me citing last night in Baltimore, decided in
favor of Cecilius Calvert as the subject of
the frat of the two statues of famous Mary
landers to be placed in the hall of stat
uary in the Capitol building. this city. The
society was requested by the special COM
mission appointed by the governor to sub
init its suggestions, and in accordance
with this request a special committee was
appointed by the society to consider the
subject. The committee was unable to
agree as to the subject for the second
statue. but suggested that it be chosen
from among the following distinguished
Marylanders of revolutionary times: Thos.
johnson, John Hanson and John Eager
Howard.
In their report the committee states that
1t was unanimously determined that Ce-

of his peculiar relations to the history of
the state. and his perfect fuillment Of all
requirements, is -emine1tly worthy Of

one of the heaviest downpours of years.
Great damage was done in this city, and
in Nichols street the water rose to a height
of from six to eight feet. The fire alarm
summoned the firemen to take the resi-

houses. This was accomplished with off

and ladder trucks.
The water rose SO rapidly that It was
feared the flood would sweep away the
houses. and the greatest excitement pre-
vailed all along Nichols street.

Great Seal of England.

The great seal of England, which is a
double silver die into which molten
wax is poured when an impression is
required for a state document, was once
used for culinary purposes.
While Lord Chancellor Brougham
was staying, in 1888, at Rothiemurchus,
the Scottish residence of the then dow
ager duchess of Bedford, the ladies of
the party got possession of the great
seal and hid it, much to the lord keep
er's distress of mind, for he feared it
was lost.
He was blindfolded by the ladies and
sent to search for it in the drawing
room. At last, to his intense joy, he
dragged it forth from tea chest and
then, to celebrate its recovery, used it
for making pancakes in the kitchen. :

A Trick That Failed.

The dishonest man is pretty sure to
overreach himself sooner or later, as in
the following story, borrowed from an
exchange:
In hotel in Berlin there was night
Waterman who did not take kindly to
the system adopted few years ago re-
quiring him to go through the hotel at
certain hours and touch set of electric
buttons.
After much thought he rugged up an
automatic arrangement ON several of the
buttons so that they would report at
certain hours. Soon the button system
got so out of order that the management
abolished it, and pedometer was given
to the Waterman, which would register
every step he took.
All went we'll the first two nights,
but ON the third morning the old man
was missing. On search being made, he
was found sound asleep in the engine
room, and the pedometer so attached TO
the piston rod of the engine that with
every stroke it registered step. 1t had
been travelling all night, and when taken
off it registered 212 miles.

Municipal Intolerance to Spanish Mules

Municipal Intolerance to Spanish Mules.
A bishops coachman must not swear,
especially when he is on the box and
the bishop inside. There is a certain
place in Spain called Corrales. 1t is in
the province and diocese of Zamora, and
the bishop of Zamora recently went in
his coach and four (but they were
mules) to hold confirmation at Cor
rales. When the children of the diocese
were duly confirmed, the mules, being
confirmed already in stubbornness and
original sin, refused to start and backed
the carriage with the bishop inside it
against the churchyard gate, thereby
making a breach in the sanctuary of the
Churchyard wall. At this point the
coachman is reported to have uttered
one of those thunderous Spanish curses
in which the language of Spain is so
infinitely superior to the language of
France and which even a bishop must
feel has the dignity of power. Unfor-
tunately for himself, the mayor of Cor
rales, Senior Tome, had just taken
leave of the bishop and was standing by
the carriage when the word reached
him. He sprang forward and fined the
coachman 4 pesetas on the spot for
blasphemy and proclamation, for in
Spain the mayor carries the court with
him wherever he goes. The bishop also
got out and dismissed the blasphemer
ON the spot Then the mayor got on the
box and himself drove monsignore back
to his episcopal residence. The con-
firmation has ever since been known by
a title which may be freely translated
the Blue Blazes Confirmation of Cor
rales. -Pall Mall Gazette.

RavaraRas.

Apropos of certain substances now so
extensively put before the public as
mental and physiological aids, the fact
is cited that the late Professor Lehman,
an emin snt German authority in physi-
illogical hemistry, called attention to
the close alliance of caffein to creatin
and other tissue poisons, the accumula-
ton of which within the body gives rise
to loss of energy and the disposition to
work. The late DR.. Edward Smith also
clearly shows that, while tea and coffee
produce a feeling of increased readiness
for work. the fatigue experienced after
the effort put forth under the influence
of such beverages is far greater than
that induced by the same amount of
work performed without them. Again,
beef tea is pronounced by celebrated
French medical Investigator a veritable
solution of ptomains.

A curious little problem in law and
ethics came up for solution the other
day at Hazleton, Pa. A man was ar
rested there for practicing medicine
without having been registered, as the
law of Pennsylvania and most other
states requires. He confessed his guilt
and admitted that he was well acquaint-
ed with and approved of the regulation
he had violated. Then he proceeded to
assert and TO prove by documentary evil
dence that he had been graduated from
the Medical school of ST. Petersburg
university and had practiced in the Rus
sian capital for years. He was therefore
quite eligible for registration in this
country, but ON reaching Hazleton he
had found himself penniless and with
out friends. After he, his wife and his
three children had gone hungry for sew
eral days he determined to risk impris-
onment in order to supply the wants of
his family and incidentally to earn
enough money to pay the registers fee.
Immediate denunciation and arrest fol-
lowed. Investigation showed that the
mans story was true in every partic-
ular. His wants were supplied, and he
is now openly and successfully follow
ing the profession the practice of which
had made him a technical criminal.
Now, admitting that this Russian could
not have borrowed money to meet the
laws requirements, a perfectly admia-
sible supposition, what was he to dor

and when 1t seemed beyond my ability
and faith in God was necessary she had
three-fourths the faith. But I know
men who, when they contribute to char
liable objects, are afraid that the wife
shall find it out. What a whitening
curse such woman must be to good
man!
Then there are others under the great
disadvantage of poverty. Who ought to
get things cheapest? You say those who
have little means. But they pay more.
You buy coal by the ton; they buy it by
the bucket. You buy -four by the bar
rel; they buy it by the pound. You get
apparel cheap because you pay cash
they pay dear because they have to get
trusted. And the Bible was right when
it said, ''The destruction of the poor is
their poverty"
Mistakes In Early Life.
Then, there are those who made a
mistake in early life, and that over
shadows all their days. ''Do you not
know that that man was once in pris-
on?" is whispered. Or, "Do you know
that that man once attempted suicide?'
Or, 'Do you know that that man once
aDSCOuO6Q! Ut, DO you KNOW GnaG
that man was once discharged for dis
honestly" Perhaps there was only one
wrong deed in the mans life, and that
one act haunts the subsequent half CEN
fury of his existence.
Others have unfortunate predomi-
nance of some mental faculty, and their
rashness throws them into wild enter
prises, or their trepidation makes them
decline great opportunity, or there is
vein Of melancholy in their disposition
that defeats them, or they have an en-
dowment of overmirth that causes the
impression of insincerity.
Others have mighty obstacle in
their personal appearance, for which
they are not responsible. They forget
that God fashioned their features, and

to 60 out to his little place to visit his
apiary grounds and his establishment
for manufacturing bee stands and sup

quite large industy, and is justly
proud of 1t. He ships bee stands and
fixtures, and sends by mail queen
bees to every section of the country.
What he can't tell you about that in
teresting little worker, the bee, is
scarcely worth knowing. He has
made the bee-how to take care of
him and how to get profit out of him

EckeIs on Bank Failures.

James III. Eckels, comptroller of the
currency, in a communication to the
New York Journal, states most en-
phatically that there is nothing in the
character of the recent bank failures
in the West and Northwest to give
rise to any fear of general return of
bank troubles. If any deduction is to
be made from these failures he thinks
it would be quite the reverse. Mr..
Eckels examines the causes Of these
failures or suspensions and shows that
they are generally such causes as
would bring such results at any time.
He says:
"As an Offset to these spasmodic
failures, we find on an examination Of
the bank returns under the call of
Dec. 18th that deposits are increasing,
and, though in q smaller degree, loans
and discounts expanding. 1t is GER
tain that money is coming out of
boarding, and viii be willingly invest

serious foreign complication they will
