New Time,

The May number of this spright-
ly and wide awake reform maya
zine, like all its predecessors, is
crammed with strong, clear cut
articles which handle the vital
questions of the day with consum-
mate ability. A spade is called a
spade and no man is too great or
wise to have immunity from crit
icism if his words or actions seem to
demand it, and where praise Or
commentator is merited it is not
withheld.
James Taylor Rogers leads off in
the May number with a searching
paper on our new system of Fed
eral law, known as 'Injunction," a
court made law, not known since
medieval times, till reintroduced
in the great Republic as a protec-
ton to usurped Corporation rule.
One of the favorite subjects for
discussion by the magazine is di-
rect legislation, and this no doubt
is the foundation principle on
which republic must rest, if it
hopes to escape the fate of all its
predecessors. Direct legislation is
but one of many numerous reforms
that are imperatively demanded,
and the apparent contest, more ap-
parent than real, among reformers
is which is most pressing and at the
same time most readily attainable.
A thorough discussion of all pre-
pares the way for that which is
most important and will be sure to
find its place at the front.
Frank Parsons keeps up his well
directed warfare on the municipal
monopolies. In the present number
he handles street car monopolies
with bare hands as usual.
"Suppressed News from Wash
ington is always good. The Kiteh-
en- Cabinet in the present month S
paper is pen picture that ought
to be on general exhibition.
The following little philippe is
too good to be lost: "The curious

Department of State has been sum-
med up in the comment of the head

The Susquehanna.

The following is a description OF
the new steamer "Susquehanna'
which is to ply between Port De,
posit and Baltimore:
The "Susquehanna" is steel
screw steamer of the following di-
mansions: 165 feet long over all, 40
feet extreme beam, 104 feet deep
from main deck. The main deck
will give freight room for $50 tons,
engine room, social hall and toilets.
On the saloon deck will be eight
state rooms, with two berths in
each, a large saloon and ladies'
retiring room. Above are the pilot
house and rooms for officers.
The "Susquehanna" is expected
to develop speed of fifteen miles
an hour. She will be fitted up to
accommodate ! 200 excursionists.

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital
organs. If the liver is inactive,
you have a bilious look; if your
stomach is disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are
affected, you have pinched look.
Secure good health, and you will
surely have good looks. "Electric
Bitters is a good alternative and
Tonic. Acts directly on the stom'
ach, liver and kidneys, purifies the
blood, cures pimples, blotches and
boils, and gives good complexion,

Recruiting.

Lieutenant George T. King was
sent home from Camp Wilmer last
week with orders to open recruit
ing office at the Elkton Armory,
and enroll fifty two men for the
First Regiment. Able bodied men
between the ages of Is and As years
are wanted, and where they have
not attained the age of 81 years,
the written consent of parents must
be obtained.
TwentysiX members of Company
E, of Elkton, returned home last
week, some being over age, others
were unable to pass the physical
examination, and a few declined tC
enlist. This materially weakened
the Company, and as 1t was neces,
sary to raise it to eighty men,
Lieutenant King has been ordered
to recruit.
Major William G. Purnell, of the
Regiment, has been retired on ac.
count of inability to pass the neces.
sary physical examination. The
general order was issued on Tues
day of last week. Four other of.
ficers of the Maryland National
Guard were also retired.
Major Purnell is sixty years OF
age and has done his full share OF
soldering for the country. He
was prisoner of war in Libby
prison several months. The coun.
try has no claims on the old vets
for further military service. They
have earned a pension and com
Portable home the rest of theil
lives, and should not be allowed tC

spirits may be willing to brave thu
hardships of camp and field, but

many years to bear the knapsack
as they did thirty years ago.

TheRC-aS.

The Cecil county commissioners
contemplate a decided change in
the work of road-mending. For
the past two years the roads have
been placed out at contract to the
lowest bidder, but the plan has not
been satisfactory. The commits
sioners, it is said. will now return
TO the old system of mending the
roads by the day. Keeping the
county roads in repair is one of the
largest items of expense in Cecil
county. Over $4,000 a year is
spent on the roads.
"And there the old, old story
was told at 5 O'Clock in the morn
ing" The commissioners have
gone back to the methods of the
daddies, which was abandoned
thirty years ago because of its utter
failure, except to waste 500, 900 a
year. Our worthy commissioners
acknowledge they don't know what
they want nor how to get it. But
they do know how to waste 500, 900
a year, and are doing it. If they
would invest 81, 900 in the employ
ment of scientific brains they could
find out what they want and also
how to get it and what it would
cost.

May 4th, 1898.
| Mr.. "A. B. KAY,
Rising Sun, Md.
| My Dear Sir AT the Annual Meeting of thu
Brookview Cemetery Company on Monday even
| ing the 2nd inst the lamentable circumstance O
| the untimely and sorrowful death of your son
| John A. Kay, was discussed.
As no hope of the ultimate recovery and recog
milton of his remains seems to be possible it was
regarded as most timely and fitting recognition
of his worth and popularity, he having died III
the service of his country, to take some steps
towards erecting monument to his memory in
their new cemetery.
1t is the universal verdict of the entire com.
munity that he was one of the finest young men
that ever left this section and where is there any
place more suitable to erect monument to his
memory than among those with whom he passed
his childhood and what spot more eminently
appropriate than the beautiful location of our
new cemetery, looking down upon the school
and playground where he spent four years of his
boyhood days. and almost in sight of your own
home.
Reuben Haines Esq, of Elkton, in the course
OF an address one evening last week before the
very school where your son received his education
made this suggestion, and we presume to him
belongs the credit of the original thought.
The Company decided to appoint committee,
consisting of William NJ. Pogue and myself, to
confer with you upon this subject, and you have
spent portion of this afternoon with that com.
mittee and Mr. w. T. b. r. Robertson, looking
over the ground, through the chapel, viewing
the location and the improvements, together with
the books and blanks of the Company, whereby
you were convinced that our cemetery is on
substantial basis and well organized.
AS President of said Company, am authorized
to make you the following proposition We will
donate for the purpose of placing thereon such a
monument two adjacent lots value fifty dollars
in said cemetery.
Next, we understand that request has been
made of the different churches of the county tor
special collections to be donated towards a mon
ument fund in some other State, which is to be
erected in memory of those who died aboard the
battleship Maine. We will make an effort to have
whatever amount is collected in this manner
turned over towards the erection of this monu.
ment in memory ofyour son.
Further we propose to take steps to raise bv
popular subscription and by any other means
thought advisable whatever we can to further
apply in the same direction
Finally, you understand that we donate two
lots and offer our services in connection with CIV
ing the community the pleasure and opportunity
of contributing toward this worthy project We
hope this may commend itself to your approba-
ton, and that you will let US know within a day
or so, SO that we can take initatory steps in the
matter without delay.
We might add that we believe that there are
many in this community who will be more than
pleased with this movement and who will dasira
to have share in it and cooperate with us.
Yours faithfully,
II. II. HAINEs, Prest.

A rlan Who is Tired

All the time, owing to impoverished
blood, should take Hoods Sarsaparilla
TO purify and enrich his blood and give
him vitality aud vigor.
This condition of weakness and lack of
energy is natural consequence of the
coming of warmer weather, which finds
the system debilitated and the blood
impure.
A good spring medicine is necessity
with almost everyone. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is what the millions take in the
spring. Its great power to purify and
enrich the blood and build up health is
one of the facts of common experience.

Military Exercises.

Mr.. A. L. Duyckinck and family
attended the annual military exer

Friday, to witness the military
evolutions of the students, among
whom is Horace M. Duyckinck.
Although the exercises were marred
considerably by the rain, the boys
acquitted themselves in fine style.
One of the features was a sham
battle between Uncle Sans forces,
with Cuban allies, against the
Spaniards. Another feature was
the bicycle corps, which showed
remarkable skill in going through
the drill.
