Signed the Asylum Legacy Bill

Annapolis, Md, March 3-Governor
LoWndes yesterday affixed his sigma
ture to the bill changing the name of
the Sheppard Asylum for the Insane
to the Sheppard Enoch Pratt asylum
in consequence of which the residue OF
Mr.. Pratt's estate. amounting to about
$1,50O,0O0, will go to the institution
named. A vigorous effort was made
to defeat the bill in the house of dele
gates, and failing In that, to induce
the governor to withhold his signature
This movement was attributed to the
heirs of Mr. Pratt, and among the
eminent counsel employed by them
were United States Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts, and Abner Mckinley
brother to the president. The governor
also signed the Crothers anti-racing

THIS session of the Superior Court is
nearly over and then Court will adjourn
until the May term. This SEES ion has dis.
posed of considerable business, the prac.
lice now being of either putting the cases
on trial or having them stricken from the
docket. Lawye rs are required to handle
their business with more dispatch than
loryears past and IL their cases are con-
tinued, they are required by the Court to
give good and sufficient reas ons for them.
With the multiplicity Of lawyers, 1t is a
wonder that one half of them find any.
thing to do. This is one reason why num-
erous damage suits in the past have been
Instituted in our Courts and why several
large manufacturing concerns have closed
their plants in cur city aud located else
where. Every man should have justice
meted out to him, but damage suits should
rot be unnecessarily encouraged by the
bringing of such damage suits in or
courts. Even the newspaper are not free
from libel suits, no less than half dozen
now being pending in the Courts for trial
OF which nothing should be their outcome.

MILITARISM IN FRANCE.
Minister Grossly Insulted
by All Army Oficer,

Ex-Cabinet Minister Grossly Insulted
by al Army OfIicer.
sLondon, March 3.-The Paris corre-
spondent of The Times, as an indca-
ton of the extent to which militarism
is obtaining ascendancy in France,
gives a long correspondence showing
that former Minister Trarieux, after
the lola trial, received an outrageously
insulting letter from Captain Begouon,
an officer of the general staff. M.
Trarieux referred the letter to Gen.
eral Billot, minister of war, requesting
that the writer should be compelled
to apologize or be punished. General
Billot declined to intervene, on the
ground that the letter was private. M.
Trarieux hen appealed to the presi-
dent of the senate, Emile Loubet, on
whose intervention General Billot adj
ministered a quite inadequate repri-
mand to Captain Begouon.

but finally dropped out of sight just
as the agitation in favor of Congress-
man Stone began to take definite shape.
That there Is something substantial
and practical back of this renewed
talk of Widener in connection with the
gubernatorial nomination is evidenced
by recent lively interest taken in the
subject by Republicans even in remote
sections of the state. One of the orig
inal members of the Ward Leaders

which was not satisfactory. She then de.
manded one from her husband, when lie
baid no got the captain to indite the letter

would not accept his explanation and sent
for papa Oliver, who received no better ex-
PLANTATION than had been given the wife.
The blow almost killed tho father.in.laH

blows over the letter. Now the wife has
left her husbands home and taken up her

into the KlOnlike trade.
