IL Ii Of Gratifying Size and Its Contents
Are ofa Valuable, Assorted Character.
The Christmas box for the soldiers at
Manila is nailed up and Is now on it's way
TO San Francisco. The box was closed at
10 O'Clock yesterday morning. at which
time about 100 parcels were OF hand. The
box In which the presents were packed
was made to order by a carpenter. and Is
constructed to withstand any amount of
rough usage which IL may receive on its
long journey to the Philippines. The box
If about 6x6 feet. and is constructed of
1Ia-inch lumber. with extra braces on the
ends. Sides. top and bottom. The box itself
Will weigh probably 30 pounds. and it's
contents will reach the weight of 40
pounds. making a total weight of about
800 pounds.
Unfortunately no record was kept OF the
names of those to whom Christmas boxes
were sent and II is impossible to tell just
how many parcels there were, but Il is
that there were at least 100.
The presents included gifts of all kinds
books. pipes. underclothing. socks. shoes.
handkerchiefs and a hundre and one
other things. The boxes are marked in
plain lettering. indicating the name of the
soldier and the company to which he be-
longs and the person who sent II.
The Pacific Express company. through
its local agent. r. r. Johnson. kindly
volunteered to transfer the box to the sea
free of charge and II is now well on its
way. The express companies do not very
often carry things free. and for its kind
ness in the present instance the Pacific
Express company has the sincere thanks
of many grateful people.
There probably would ave been more
presents from Anaconda but for the fact
that the local committee was not organ
ICED until five or six days ago. and at
that time many people in Anaconda had
already sent presents to Helena to be for
warded with the box leaving that Mace.
At any rate the box that left Anaconda
last evening is gratifying in its size and
in the value and assortment of its con-
tents. and the soldier boys at Manila will
feel all the better for kim rsmembrances
from home when they open the ample
boxes and parcels on. the morning of
day.
The transport upon which the box will
sent will leave San Francisco. accord
ing to the. information contained In q tel
egram to the local committee from Quar-
Long. on Nov. g.. The local COM
which had charge of the shipment
was composed of w. r.. Webb. l.. A. King
and Frank Foskett. They did their work
well. and when they discharged them
selves yesterday they felt like shaking
hands with themselves upon the success
of the Soldiers Christmas Box.

City BOYS Woes.

The boys of Baltimore are very much dis
turbed because the Police Marshal has pro-
hbited them from spinning tops on the streets.
They are unanimous in the opinion that the
country is going to the dogs and this is no
longer the land of the free, even if it is the
home of the brave.
"Why don't the police make US get off the
earth altogether and be done with it, said
one youngster to a companion. ''What's IA
fellow going TO do with himself, anyway
The police are always kicking about some
thing. We can't play ball, or shiny, o: hit
stick, or histhose, cause we might bust win
dows or hit somebody on the shin; we can t
build bonfires at lection times; we can't shoot
off fire crackers or Roman candles or rockets
on the Fourth of July cause sparks might
fall on tin roof and set house OH fire; we
can't make sliding places any more in win
ter cause somebody, might fall down; we
can't throw snowballs or shoot slings, or go
roller skating in the squares-and now we
can't spin tops and play in the streets. After
\ while they won't let MS play marbles on the
lots. and if we want fun we'll have to roll
hoops or play ring -a-round-a-roSy with the
girls. Just because we can't vote and aim
rot any 'auence we amt got any rights.
"That's so, Tommy was the response,
s.but first thing we know we'll have war. and
and all the policemen will have to 60 off and
oct killed-then wen have fun.

NO RIGHT TO INDEMNITY.
E. j. Phelps Says the United States
Cannot Demand Reparation Of
Spain for the Maine Disaster.

New HAVEN, CoNN.. March LIE. j.
Phelps, former United States minister to
England, said today on the subject OF
the claim of the United States for indemnity
for the loss of the Maine:
''If it shall appear by the report that the
explosion was caused from the outside, and by
the agency Of Spanish subjects, the United
States government would have no claim upon
Spain for PREPARATION, unless it could also be
shown that the occurrence was due TO the
neglect of the Spanish authorities to auord
such protection against it, as i'll the exercise
of ordinary prudence and care was requisite
and within their power.
while the comfy and the usage Of nations
admits to their ports the public vessels of
countries with which their relations are
friendly and receives them with marked to-
kens of courtesy and respect, the safety of
such ship against accident or outrage by
parties unknown is not guaranteed by the ma
ton in whose waters they lie. And especially
where no reason for apprehending such an
event is known to exist. All that can be re-
quired. where no danger of that sort is an
ticipated, is that the usual and ordinary pre-
cautions of police and harber regulations shall
be observed, and that prompt action shall fol-
low any warning that it is likely to be neces-
sary.
''The burden of proof in case of dispute is
upon the party who claims that the injury is
due TO official neglect

Election Law Amendments.

The Senate has before it some amendments
10 the election law One of these provides
for opening the polls in the counties at I
O'Clock instead of 8. There is no advantage
in this. Experience has shown that up to
noon not more than One-third of the vote is
polled, and often only one fourth. Rural
voters usually attend to their work until noon,
and some continue until the middle of the
afternoon. This has been the case in the
last three elections in Carroll, and we pre-
sumo it is true of other counties. There is
no advantage, therefore, in opening the polls
before oclock. To do so would be a mat
ter of Inconvenience to election officials and
watchers, and no advantage to voters. 1t
would be well 10 make the hour of opening s
o'clock in Baltimore, so as to avoid the OPP
pertunity for rascaity in the dark hours of
the early morning. The city is so divided up
into precincts the whole vote can be polled
allow two watchers of each party at the polls,
so that one can relieve the other, require an
cath of secresy as to how iliterates vote by
judges and clerks of election, &c. The coupon
feature ought to be abolished and at least
three days more ought to be allowed in which
to print tickets. In the matter of tickets it
is doubtful whether the law is complied with
in any county.
The law has number of Inconsistencies
IN 1t. One provision requires list Of the
candidates published eight days before the
day OF election, and yet the Supervisors must
place names on the ticket, when petitioned
to do so by a proper number of voters. four
days before the election.

The Johns Hopkins University.

Twentv.iv county seat journals in Mary
land are opposed to the state granting anu 10
the Johns Hopkins University.
The Hopkins University was founded phi
marily to perpetuate the name OF the iounuer'

to.if every one of them is entitled to have his
or her name perpetuated by having 1t added
To the name of the University. The name
would be little long, perhaps, but what Is
fair TO Moses Sheppard is fair to Johns Hop
kins. The Legislature changed the name OF
the SHEPPARD Asylum to include that OF Enoch
Pratt. because he made contribution toward
it. Upon the same principle, if a tax is levied
for the benefit of the John Hopkins Unlver-
sity. every tax payers name should he inserted
after that of Johns Hopkins in the name ct
the institution.
The Johns Hopkins bill was killed in the
House on Wednesday by IL vote OF ~ to ID.
After weeks of argument, interviews, ana APP

Now let the Legislature kill the six for a

armory is to have club rooms and social ieat-
ures for the members, and Il large drill room
that will be large enough for national and
other conventions. This would be very nice
for the members and good for Baltimore, but

Buried the Wrong Man


A story is going the round of the newspa-
psrs how a man came near being buried alive,
because he was helpless paralytic on bed
in room where there was corpse on another
bed, and was encoffined by the undertaken by
mistake for the corpse, but the mistake was
discovered before the coffin was closed.
This may or may not be true, but a similar
incident, amounting almost to a tragedy, did
occur more than sixty years ago in Talbot
county, in a rural district about sixteeRmiles
from Easton. The names could be given.
but it is considerate to omit them.
There were two beds in the down stairs
room of small house having but tive rooms.
On one of these beds man died. An under
taker took the measure of the corpse and
went to his shop to make the coffin for the
funeral the next day. In those days collins
were made by hand, by the undertakes them
selves. Alter the undertaken had gone, PEG
pie in the house moved the dead man to the
other bed and put clean bed-clothes on the
one he died in. During the night or the next
morning drunken man got into the room
and on the unoccupied bed. He was dead
drunk when the undertaken and his assistant
brought the coffin the next morning, and they
were almost in tie same condition. Anyhow,
they put the drunken man, instead of the
corpse, in the coffin, screwed down the lid,
and proceeded TO the graveyard, followed by
some of the neighbors, who had not gone into
the room while the undertaken and his man
were there,
The coffin was put in the grave and the
work of filing the grave up was going on,
when woman rushed into the graveyard with
the startling information that they were bury
ing live man, and had left the dead one be-
hind Hastily the coffin was taken up and
opened; and the woman's story was found to
be true. The drunken man was taken out
and laid on the ground, and the coffin went
back to the house to get the right corpse 1t
was by the merest accident the woman dis
covered the mistake when she did.
The drunken man was restored to conscious
ness, and lived for years afterwards He
never drank any more liquor. Neither did
the undertaken, or his man.

Annexation of Hawaii.

There being no prospect of a ratification OF
the Hawaiian annexation treaty by the United
States Senate. a resolution to accomplish the
same purpose has been submitted. 1s ratity
a treaty twO-lhirdS vote is necessary while
a resolution can be carried by majority vote.
If pressed in the Senate the resolution will
be passed. but the House is not likely to sus-
tain it. In the resolution provision is made
for assuming the debt of the islands to the
extent of four millions of dollars. and this
assumption virtually means the payment of
four millions of dollars for group of islands
two thousand miles away. We do not need
the islands and do not want them. If we
now owned them, this government would
have to keep a small navy there to protect
them, when we have not enough vessels for
home protection in the event of war with
Spain.

War Probable.

The court of inquiry into the cause OF the
disaster to the Maine in the barber of Havana
has not reported, though the report is ex-
pected to be made public in q day or two.
From the great preparations for war being
made by this government, it is probably that
the findings of the court were formulated sew
eral weeks age, and made known to the
President and his Cabinet. And it is prOba.
BILE, too, that the President has agreed upon
course of action in the matter. 1t is evil
dent that he proposes to act promptly and
peremptorily, and has been getting everything
in readiness to strike decisive blow in the
event of Spains refusal to meet his demands.
This conclusion is based upon the fact that
the government has bought two new war yes
sells from Brazil, is hurrying work on new
ships NOW nearly completed, is putting IN
readiness for service every naval vessel, Is
arming every fort, is preparing to defend
every Atlantic city, is hurrying coal to conve-
nient points to coal vessels. is rushing work
on heavy guns. small arms and ammunition,
and has assembled large fleet Of war vessels
at Tortugas island, few hours run from
Havana Besides this the government has
inquired Of railroad and steamboat lines as to
the transportation of troops and supplies, has
communicated with the commanders of the
militia of the several states, and 81 ven direc-
ton as to the division Of companies, Nc, &c
Ifall this does not indicate that the Presl-
dent and his Cabinet have decided to act, and
that the action is likely to make upon Spain
demands that are not probable to be acceded
to, it is piece of money waste and buster
that will not be sustained by the conservative
sentiment of this country. 1t is not cenceiv-
able that the President and his Cabinet would
so act and fight or back down upon the
part OF Spain is quite certain. Spain, how
sver. is not likely to do anything inconsistent
with CastilIian pride and patriotism.

The Baltimore papers have allowed to go I'M
corrected false statements as to the tax basis
in this state and the state debt by Judge Stake
and VIM. II. Armstrong, both of Hagerstown.
Both of these gentlemen have stated the debt
at over eight millions of dollars, when the
fact is the net debt is less than three millions
or, to be exact, is $1,000, O7s.l3. Probably
these gentlemen, in view ofthe incapacity and
recklessness of the present Republican Legis
lature, and the demands made by the Balti-
more press and business mea of that city for
appropriations, have taken time by the fore
lock, and announced the debt at over eight
millions of dollars, believing that will be the
result when the General Assembly adjourns
two weeks hence.

A Coal Contract.

During the war of 1916 the governme nj
was Systematically robbed in the purchase OF
ratiomS, uniforms, horses and in everything
else and the soldiers were plundered by suit
lers. 1t is probable that one-fourth of the
debt contracted on account of that war was
profit to government contractors.
Another war is imminent, and the haste i'll
contracts will net be so urgent, and proper and
honest contracts should be enforced. The
President, however, has not started good
example in this line 4 contract for ,00O
tons of coal for Key West were purchased at
Cleveland. Ohio, when as good coal could
have been purchased in the South. The
Alabama coal is cheaper and being about one
thousand miles nearer Key West than Cleve-
land. Il considerable saving in freight could
have been made. 1t is very probable that the
Government could have saved $4,000 on
this one contract As Congress has placed
$50, 600, 900 in the Presidents hands TO eX-
pend as he pleases, it is probable no inquiry
can be made into the contract. 1t would be
interesting to know how much Mark Hanna
made by the sale.

National Banks Sued.

The national banks of Baltimore claim that
their stocks are only taxable at a rate of thirty

to be taxable at the regular city rate, 81. OO
on the 500, and suit has been brought to en-
force collection at this rate. One hundred
and fifty thousand dollars year are involved.
The probabilities are the city will lose 1t
must lose, unless the court decides that the
so-cent rate on certain stocks imposed by the
assessment law is unconstitutional.

Kill the Bill.

The Carroll members of the Legislature
should kill the bill to make two districts ont
of Freedom district. A division could be OF
no benefit, but would entail extra expense for
road supervisors and tax collectors, would
make necessary more magistrates and consta
bles, and multiply delegates in party conven,
lions, thus giving undue influence in party
councils and perhaps cause dissatisfaction in
other districts with large voting populations.
A mistake was made when Franklin district
was divided. Don't let another be made by
dividing Freedom.

Stand Firm.

the defeat of the Johns Hopkins Subsidy by
the House of Delegates. What hurts it most
is, it had no influence with the members OF

The friends of the University need not be

reap no benefit from it, to bear half the bur-
den, and failing to get the counties to do so
they will bear the burden.

Deliberate Attempt to Deceive.

The people of Maryland at the November
election last year committed the destiny of
this state to the hands of the Republican party.
That party is responsible for every act Of
general legislation, and the attempt of the
Sun and News, the Republican organs in
Baltimore, tc throw any responsibility upon
the Democratic minority in the legislature is
'cilfid and deliberate attempt to deeeice the
people. II is low, base journalism.
