SO Years of Cures.
Dead Industries.

The manufacturing plant of Gam.
brill & Co., which was moved from
Baldwin's, the old "Lord's Fac
tory" near Elkton, on the Big Elk,
to Havre de Grace last spring, is
getting in shape at the latter place
The works make table cloth
damask-mostly, and when in full
operation will give employment to
several hundred hands. Forty
looms are at present at work. When
the works are completed as contem-
plated 24O looms will be in opera
ton.
CeciPs manufacturing establish
ments have almost ceased to exist.
and were it not for the SingerlE
paper making business extensively
carried on at Elkton and Marley,
manufacturing would have virtually
ceased to be an industry in the
county. The great iron works at
North East, Row landville and
Westamwell have become extinct.
with little or no prospect of their
ever again being revived. The great
Principle Furnace works have
dwindled to one forge hammer
which works on scrap iron.
The smokeless chimneys of those
once great works are a sermon and
commentary on the fate of small
and medium manufacturing bus
mess, which is being drawn into a
few large, gigantic establishments,
run by titan machinery, employing
but fraction of the labor that was
kept busy in the hundreds and
thousands of smaller establishments
that were scattered all over the
land, distributing wealth among
the people, who are now idle with
no visible means in the future for
their support and comfort.
Wealth and luxury have follow
ed the great establishments and
concentrated round the "centers of
business" as the changed condi-
lions are called, while desolation
marks the spots whence thrift and
plenty have departed with smoke
less chimneys and silent mills,
tomb stones and monuments in the
grave yards of dead industries.

Short Crop of Tomatoes.

Reports are coming from most
every section of Hartford county in
dicating a short crop Of tomatoes.
The cause us given is first too much
dry weather, followed by an over
abundance of rain. The first pick
ing is now under way and some few
have already been canned, but the
season will not be fully on for at
least ten days yet. The season is
expected to be short.

Tragic Outcome of " Bee Hunt. ~

What may prove to be fatal
accident occurred in Abraham s
woods near Port Deposit Thursday
night. Several young men and
boys started out to show a city Wis
itor a "bee hunt" During the

plowed through the skull and came
out at the top of the head. Dal-
rymple was taken to hospital in

Tennis.

The Pioneer tennis court has been
the scene of unusual activity this
week and number of interesting
contests have taken place. The
star attraction, however, was the
ladies' doubles between Roxborough
and Rising Sun, Misses Helen
Walter and Nettie Janney repre-
senting the former and Misses Ger
trude Dare and Linda Brown the
latter. The first set resulted in a
victory for Roxborough, score Ga.
The Sun, however, was not dismay-
ed and won out in the second set,
60. The contest was then post
poned until the following day,
Wednesday, when the fair dispu-
tants again stepped into the arena,
each resolved to do OF die. Two
sets were played with scores 81
each, the first by Rising Sun and
the second by Roxborough. Then
with honors even came the decid
ing set. Game after game was
played, a duce set resulting.
The excitement steadily grew,
As the balls swiftly flew
Over and under and through the net
With vOlleys and lobs and smashes,
Undercuts, rallies and dashes
There wasn't stroke they failed to get.
The score kept evening up,
neither side being able to win out,
until each player declared she was
"tireder" than the other. At last,
on the stroke of II, Roxborough
scored 10 to their opponents s and
won the hard fought contest. One
noticeable feature about the audi
ence was that there were no par
tizans, each of the players being
champiOned and coached by all
without restraint, and referees were
changed every game, as there was
no one could be found with NERVE
enough to last an entire set.

The fatal mistake of the Maryland
Democrats under the specious counsels of
German, is in believing that politics can
longer be run on local issues. Every
election is strategic move to capture a
commanding position which will tell in
the National result Every office, no
matter how small, exerts an influence on
National affairs to the extent of its i'm
portance.
The managers of the county conven-
tions showed their lack fpolitical science
when they supposed they could shut out
of sight the great, overwhelming National
issues and run the campaign this fall on
mere local issues. In this county they
fondly dreamed they could absorb public
attention and wholly divert it from
National issues by a race-track issue.
There is not enough in such all issue to
excite discussion and no person so much
as mentions it. When the conversation
turns on public affairs in any company,
let it be ever so small or ever so humble
and unpretending in intelligence, the
talk is about National affairs.
Had the party leaders possessed any
true political knowledge they never would
have committed so fatal blunder as to
suppose they could set up some local
issue and amuse the public by their old
sleight of hand performance which they
have exhibited so often. Unless this fatal
mistake is corrected by boldly and I'M
equivocally endorsing the National prin-
ciples which the party advanced to in 90,
it will be hopelessly beaten al the polls in
November. The action of the leaders is
an insult to the Intelligence ofthe masses.

PUBLIC WORKS
Petitions for Public Morgue and an
Offer to Provide One Referred

If there is to be fight over the matter
of securing for the city a public morgue,
the contest will first begin at the next
regular session of the board of public
works Friday morning. There was no
indication Of the coming fight in the
proceedings of the council with refer
ence 10 the matter yesterday. 1t claim.
ed the attention of that body for a few
minutes only at both the morning and
afternoon sessions. The first session
had nearly been concluded when the
clerk read the petition from the business
men Of the city asking that morgue be
established. Its contents were publish
ed at the time 1t was filed in the clerks
office Saturday. 1t simply recites the,
necessity for morgue and asks that the
city provide one. The petition was re-
ferred to the board of public works with
out ommert, the similar petition from
Coroner Campbell having been referred
to that body.
At the afternoon session Councilman
Toll sent the following communication
to the clerks desk to be read:
eve see by the Los Angeles papers
that the coroner Of Los Angeles county
and the citizens of the city have petit
toned your honorable body to have built
city morgue to be paid for by the tax
payers. If such is the case, we are will

The matter came up at the mornin &

has been published, the board recon-
mended that the city engineer prepare
the necessary maps and survey, etc"
This part of the report was not salts

thought it too vague and contended that
unless it was known just what the eX-
tent of the assessment district would b.
no survey was possible. Mr. Toll. while
he favored the route proposed, did not
want the city put to any more additional
expense than could be avoided Action
was deferred until the afternoon session

and endeavored to induce them to

obtain an equal standing before the
council. No change was made, however.
When it was again taken up there
seemed to be better understanding be-
tween the council and the engineer IS to
just what the board wanted. Mr.. Dock
weller stated that the cost of a survey
would be approximately $500. II the

by those benefited, and if it was killed by
protest or otherwise the city would have

Mr.. Toll suggested that the proposition
was not for grading, but for widening,
the street. Mr.. Burns asserted that or
dering the one kind of work would, re-
suit within week in the filing of pc
tton for the other kind. He said the
majority of the frontage was in acreage,
and not in city lots Several other per-
sons spoke on the matter. After an ex-
aminatior of maps of the streets the
council rejected the protests.
LIGHTING SPECIFICATIONS
The gas and light committee submit

PROTESTS GALORE
Bellevue Avenue and Hoover Street
Well Represented

Protests against the proposed widening
of Bellevue avenue from San Fernando
to Castelar, street, and OF Hoover street
from Seventh to Pico, were made special
orders for the afternoon session of the
council, and at the opening of the ses-
sion of President Silver invited the prot
estants to present the matter Major
Burke, representing the Bellevue ave-
nue. property owners, spoke first He
said that this was the second time the
matter had been before the council He
charged that the street railway company
was behind the effort to have the
street widened, and that the company
would derive the greatest benefit from
it. Referring to the approval of the
matter by the Northwest Los Angeles
Improvement association, Mr.. Burke
lauded their enterprise, but urged that
if they wanted the work done they should
pay for large portion of it. Several
others spoke on the subject, followin e
much the same line Of argument. The
persons who pettioned for the widen
ing of the street were not represented
and nothing was advanced in favor OF
the improvement. Action on the mat
ter was deferred one week.
In support of the protest against the
widening of Hoover street, Mr.. Delaney
who resides on Eighth street, stated thai
he did not object to the improvement
but did not desire to be assessed, as he
had but recently been assessed for the
Coronado street work. John j. Burns
who owns property which would be Gu
by the widening OF the street, said tha
this was the first time he had, ever op.
posed a public Improvement He de.
