lands lying to the eastward of the Nj
chler line within the territory of Mary
lanY and to which Maryland had al
ready granted title.
In 1890 the encouragement ofMary-
land was authorized and directed by
the Legislature to take such steps by
suit in the Supreme Court of the
United States as would forever settle
this question, which has been pending
for upward of two hundred years. \
bill was filed in the Supreme Court in
equity asking for a decree of settle
ment, and under an order entered in
the case the survey above referred to
was made by West Virginia.
The territory embraced within the
triangular piece OF land in dispute
covers about nine thousand acres.
The questions of jurisdiction between
the courts of Maryland and West Vir-
ginia are constantly arising, conflicts
III titles and taxation of property are
always at hand, and the people living
along both sides of the line have been
constantly annoyed by the counter
claims of the two States.
1t is to be hoped that the case will
be pushed forward by Maryland, and
it is generally believed that her con
tentions will be sustained by the Su-
preme Court. This question is one in
which not only the people of the i'm
mediate vicinity of the disputed terri
tory are concerned, but it is a matter
which affects the honor of the State
at large, for Maryland has constantly
given away to the claims and preten-
siOns of her neighbors.

Interesting story of Prolonged
Fight for n Bird House.

Zone spring." said a lover of birds,
there came to a bird house in my gar
den pair of great crested t1y-catchers.
| I had a dozen bird houses scattered
around. This particular one was about
foot square, with peaked roof and a
chimney at each end, doorway for the
birds to go in and out and a couple of
auger holes bored through the back to
give the house light and air.
This bird house the summer before
bad been occupied by pair of blue
birds, who had left their nest behind
them. This nest the great crested fly
catchers pulled apart and threw out of
the house; every twig and straw; they
cleaned the house out completely; and
then they brought in everything new,
and built a nest of their own, and set
tied down comfortably for the summer
But in few days pair of bluebirds
came along and they made for tsis
house. 1t might have been the identical
pair of bluebirds that occupied it the
summer before; l don't know about
that; though | have no doubt that rob
ms and other birds that have been
south for the winter, hundreds of miles
away, do come back in the spring to
the same places, and to the same trees.
Anyhow, this pair of bluebirds wanted
that bird house, and they were ready to
fight for it, and that is what they did.
The tiy-catcher is nice little bird and
a pretty plucky sort of a fighter, but
81 FOL Sc, b, h.
a grand roundup inside the house, and
finally the bluebirds pitched the fly
catchers out; and later they pitched out
every stick of furniture that the fly
catchers had brought in, cleaned the
house out entirely, and then brought in
fresh material and built new nest ac-
cording to their own ideas, and they
settled down for the summer.
"Well, a few days after that, pair of
wrens came along and they took a fancy
to that particular bird house, too; and
they sailed right in and tackled the blue
birds on the spot. You couldn't see the
fight from the ground, but every now and
then you could see a straw or feather
shoot out of the front door of the house.
The bluebird is good, sound fighter,
but the wren is better one, and the up
shot was that the wrens fairly put the
bluebirds out and took possession of the
bird house themselves. And then the
wrens did just what the others had
done; they pitched out every scrap of
stuff in the bird house, just tumbled it
out of the door, to fall on the ground;
and then they brought in new stuff and
built nest for themselves.
Nobody molested the wrens. They
stayed there and raised their young
there; and in the fall they all flew away
and left the bird house again deserted
for the winter. N. Y. Sun.

ant Secretary Ryan of the Interior
Department.: THE civil service law
has been perverted and dragged into
mire to serve partisan ends; but even
that is not the worst of it. A new adj
ministration has come into power,
pledged to carry out policies which in
many important respects are directly
contrary to those of the last admins
tration, and it finds itself confronted
on the very threshold by an army of
official incumbents hostile, or at the
very least, Indifferent, to its aim and
purposes-an army intrenched behind
newly devised rules and regulations
which were never contemplated or
dreamed of by the trainers and sup
pOrters of the civil service law, whose
design was to elevate and improve the
efficiency of the clerical service in the
executive department of the Govern
ment." Mr.. Ryan was member of
the House when the civil service bill
was passed and he voted for it, and
still believes in it, but he thinks the
partisan barnacles put upon it by Mr.
Cleveland will have to be scraped off
or the country will become disguised
with the entire law. More evidence
OF the partisan working of the rules
under the lastadministration has been
submitted to the Senate Investigating
Committee, and number of bureau
chiefs, including Commissioner Of
Patents Butterworth, have added
their recommendation that the pres
ent rules be modified.

no monkeys were supposed to exist.
Also, she belongs to an unknown spe-

board the ship, and then, having passed
all the dangers of the Abyssinian cam
paign, she was discharged with a first
class certificate and silver chain and
medal. This was in lieu of prize
money. Of course Jenny was til sail

amazing pitch. Her pet was an almost
featherless chicken, which she nursed
baby-fashion. She never turned in at
night without her pipe and glass of
grog, which she consumed with unmis-

Runaway.

Jos. S. Pogue, accompanied by
his niece, Miss Sallie Kellow, ex-
perienced serious runaway acct
dent while driving last Sunday
afternoon. When about mile
south of town, on the Pennington
road, Mr.. Pogue stepped out of the
buggy to fix the overdraw. The
horse became restless from the flies
and started as Mr.. Pogue was get
ting into the buggy. He was thrown
to the ground and the wheel passed
over his neck. The horse then
started on a run for home, Miss
Kellow not being able to check him.
Arriving in town, the frightened
animal dashed around the carriage
shop to the stable where the buggy
struck the first obstruction with
force enough to break the cross
bar and bend the top and dash con-
siderably. Miss Kellow was able
to retain her seat and only suffered
a severe shock. F. n. Jenkins
passed Mr.. Pogue on the road and
brought him to town rather badly
shaken up, but not seriously
injured.

District, near lakewood, has fine

Is cents basket at the orchard.
Three-quarters of a century and
more ago the upper part of Cecil
county produced abundance of the
finest peaches. The billy country
of the Susquehanna and Octoraro
was famous for the fine flavor of its
peaches. No doubt if farmers
would plant small orchards which
they could give the proper
! attention, and on the hill slopes
sheltered from north winds, fine
crops of peaches could be produced
at the present time.
Governor Lowndes has decided
not to proclaim September 18th, or
Old Defenders Day, legal holiday
throughout the State: This deter
mination of the Governor will be a
disappointment to the school teach
ers who treasure the holidays. The
Governor will, however, issue a
proclamation designating the first
Monday in September as Labor
Day, in accordance with the Act of
Congress. This will in a measure
compensate for the 10Th but both
would have been much enjoyed.

Death of John A. Rankin.

John A. Rankin died on Wednes-
day evening of last week at his
home in Elkton in his Goth year.
Mr.. Rankin was, we apprehend,
the oldest citizen of Cecil county.
He was born in Wilmington, Del,
Feb. 9th, 1902, but lived in Elkton
the greater part of his life. He
was jeweler and watch maker and
a first class mechanic. He was re-
markable for his well preserved
faculties. His sight, hearing and
memory were as keen as those OF
most men at so or younger. He
read the newspapers and was con-
versant with the history of the
times, kept track of his acquaint-
ances and knew them at a glance,
though not having met them per-
haps in years. An instance of this
acuteness of memory and sight is
related by young Elkon lady,
who called in company with friend
who wished to see the old gentle
man. AS soon as he saw her he
asked her if she wasn't daughter
of -, naming her mother whom
he knew very well as a girl.
While these faculties were so well
preserved, the physical temple they
inhabited succumbed to time, and
though SO bright in all that places
man a little lower than the angels
his body became very weak and
helpless, the machinery at last
ceased to operate and the temple
was no longer habitable for the
living soul.
The funeral was held on Satur
day at four o'clock in the afternoon
and interment in the family lot IL
the Presbyterian cemetery il
Elkton.

Opposes and Denounces the German
Conspiracy.

Maj. w. G. Purnell of Elkton,
who is better posted in the public
questions of the day probably than
any other man in that town, in an
interview published in the Balti-
more papers said in part:
"The widespread conspiracy to
turn the democratic party from its
championship of the interests of the
people by making it mere oppor-
tunist organization, with no policy
or principles disticts from the re-
publican party, except promise to
avoid the extravaganza and abuses
of the latter, has under the man
agement of the subtle and unscru-
pulous German achieved a success
in this State, in the manipulation
of party machinery, which calls for
the united and determined resist
ance of all democrats who believe
in the principles which Bryan sum,
moned the hosts of democracy to dc
battle for year ago."
