with the perpetual Water Commission
bill.
A conclusive reply was at once

increased appropriation for the West

tuition is enjoying $1,000 of State aid

legislature cannot apply even $4,000
to a more humane purpose.

The Baltimore SIN constructed this
heading" THE Forum Did it ALL" and
then proved it by quoting from the
Forum's own confession that it and it
alone is primarily responsible to State
aud country for McComas' election.
The SIN is IA very careful news
paper. Under a standing pledge to
"shine for ALL it publishes the news,
especially the State news. Intelli-
gence from first hands in any case
is preferred to secondhand specials.
Hence it came to pass, as before
stated, that the Sun, seeing in the
Fo,um itself that the Forum had elect
ell McComas, what else could the Sun
do but proce it to the people of the
State out of the F0rum's own mouth
Otherwise the SIN would have been
faithless to its pledge.

and somewhat injured. The bicycle
which struck Mrs Gibbs was ridden by
Allen Barnum, who, with party Of
other riders, was coming down Center

riding in the rear of the party and did
not see Mrs Gibbs in time to stop his
