As misapprehension seems to exist
in the minds of a number of our peo-
pie with reference tos the objects, pur7
poses and Intention of the two bills
now. pending before the Maryland
Legislature, providing for the pay
ment of one-half of the fines and for
FIXTURES imposed by the Circuit Court
for Garrett county towards the crea-
tion of a library for the Court and
Bar Association, and the other auth
orizing the County Commissioners to
furnish free of rent suitable rooms for
the use of the Court and Bar Associa-
tion, we deem it proper to give the
reasons for the passage of these
measures.
With regard to the first bill, it is
only necessary to call attention to the
fact that all fines and forfeitures now
imposed by the Court, unless other
wise disposed of by special legislation,
go direct to the State Treasury and
not to the County. Surely no citi-
zen who thinks rightly can for one
moment contend that the proposed
measure can in any way affect the in
terests of any person in Garrett
county.
With regard to the second bill,
authorizing the furnishing of rooms
for the use of the Court and Bar As
sOciation. In every other county in
this State, and in fact, nearly, if not
all other States, such rooms are fur
nished in the several court houses.
The law provides that suitable quar-
ters shall be furnished for the trans
action of the public business, but un-
fortunately when our court house
was built, noprovision was made
for consultation rooms for the Court
or Bar Association. Since there is
no place at the court house which
can be used for the purposes above
mentioned this Act simply provides
for the DEFICIENCIES that exist there
These rooms are designed for the
use of the Court in the hearing of mo-
tions, demurrers, cases in which only
questions of law arise and Equity pro-
ceedings, and it is confidently pre-
dicted that by the small out lay pro-
vided for in this bill material saving
to the county would result. Mem
bers of the Court have stated that in
their opinion saving of at least $500
per annum can and will be affected
by this bill.
We desire further to say that these
bills are gotten up, formulated and
drafted by the Bar Association and
sent to our delegates in the Legisla-
ture with the request that they offer
them for it's action.

Among children's rights therefore,
let us who want to be in the van of
progress, reckon "Child-Study" as it
is called. How foolish the young far
mer who strives to make his farm look
just like his neighbours. If he graded
down the hill and plowed up his pas
ture, he might secure some similarity
of appearance but he would destroy
his own farm in the process. The
way to get most out of his farm is to
suit his treatment to its peculari-
ties, and those pecularities cannot
be learned over his neighbor's fence.
Behold the farm is the child and its
needs must be similar How natural
is the question, What will it be-
come?' when a smiling infant looks
up in the face with all the beauty and
freshness of a new blown rose. The
answer is not to be found by pouring
knowledge in, but by drawing it out
In other words, the new education
the education that contains hope for
the race and joy for suffering, immo-
lated childhood-sits first at the feet
of the child and learns from it the
needs that it has, and then rises up to
administer to the new individuality
that has been discovered. Just as a
great teacher once said regarding
Sabbath observances, THE Sabbath
was made for man and man not for
the Sabbath" So says the new revela-
tion of our later day, Education is
to be fitted to the child and not the
child to Education"
The child has a right also to be we'll
born. To be well-bred is mere sur
face detail; but to be well-born affects
every tissue, every thought, every
impulse. But to make declaration
of rights (this has happened quite Of
ten in human history by no means as
sures those rights save by long years.
long centuries of strain to secure
them. Thus does it happen that
though we-a few-are coming more
and more to a full understanding of
children's rights, the many still live
without realizing the debt they owe
to the future on behalf of their pro-
geny. They snatch at Natures pleas
ure bait, trying every means to avoid
the hook, so that children receive a
heritage of life that was unintended,
and appear on the scene of their life
unwelcomed. Is this their right? |
seem to hear the voiceless ones, who
are yet to live, pleading in tones of

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BY MEMO.
copyrighted by awe & Tabor


AS to Children's Rights:-My child
ish soul was once deeply stirred by a
foreign missionary, who told, in most
grewsome manner, of India's Car of
Juggernaut. This huge structure,
be-jeweled and blood-stained, was, at
certain seasons of the year, dragged
hither and thither over the bodies of
living people. And in my immature
judgment | thought that such things
could never be, save in the land of
splendor and of plague. But Time
changes us all! How clearly one now
sees that these Juggernaut cars of
prejudice have been in many places,
and if not quite so tangible yet quite
as real as the brutal car of India.
What a Juggernaut has been Eeclesi-
asticism During the darker ages of
our world-thOse ages that follow a
time of great light-it demanded from
all men the giving up of private judg
ment, it tried to compel similarity of
belief (of course, impossible) and in
the compelling it killed. Thanks to
enlightenment and charity of thought
that car of human violence has
wheels that now scarcely move. What
a Juggernaut has been Education!
With but few exception, until a few
years ago, it demanded uniform treat
ment of all children. 1t has not
crushed willing victims, but helpless
little ones, who were cast in its insen-
ate path by those SO deluded that
they verify thought they did right
eous service to the race. No more
than the wind can be reduced to a
system, can one child be made exact
ly similar to another child by giving
it similar training. 1t cannot be
done and the attempting of 1T Injuries
the child. Look on the Board School
System of England as it was first Or
ganized and you will comprehend the
automatic way in which little heads
and hearts were ruined. Let your
imagination run riot and understand
all that is meant by routine when a
French statesman exclaimed one day
when looking on his watch: Il know
what every in France is doing at this
moment" But happily, just as a
better day has dawned for India and
for religion, so for education wherein
the individuality of the child is to be
respected instead of crushed and
forced and warped as it was never in
tended to be.

LAST NATAL ENGAGEMENT.
The Distinction Will Doubtless Belong
 to the Torpedo Boat Cushing.

Key West, Fla, Aug. 15.-150 p. m.- To the torpedo boat Cushing command
 ed by Lieutenant Albert Gleaves, will doubtless go the distinction of having had the last naval engagement of the Spanish American war. Had the peace negotiations been protracted a little longer the Cushing would unquestion- ably have ended the conflict by aveng-
 ing it's beginning when Ensign Bagley and his four comrades of the Winslow were killed at Cardenas. At the very moment the orders for raising the blockade reached the Cushing she was making in for three Spanish gunboats, which had wrecked her sister ship, in- tent on sinking them Or herself going down in the effort. They were the Ll- zero, Alerta and Antonio Lopez. A few days before the Cushing destroyed six small sloops and a two -masted schooner, the Triumph, of twenty five tons, and this engagement was the last of the war on the sea so far as known.

THROAT CUT IN COURT.
An A ged Man Vicionsly Attacks a Young
 Man.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 15.-In Justice Landrum's court to-day William Bain, aged seventy-one years cut the threats of James Phillips, aged thirty, whom Bain claims insulted his daughter. Phillips wound is dangerous and the doctors say he may not recover. A case of seduction against Phillips by Bain's daughter Mrs. Mary Scafe, was on trial. As soon as the hearing open ed Phillips attorneys secured a contin- uance. Phillips was sitting near a window when Bain started out of the place. As the old man reached his side, he suddenly sprung upon Phillips and cut his throat. Phillips grappled with the old man and attempted to disarm him. "He disgraced my family" Bain said, as tears ran down his cheeks. and I did my best to kill him. I wish I had cut his head off. Bain is a con- federate veteran.

FAILED TO CAPTURE oAR11srs.
French Troops Sent i'm Pursuit Given
 False InfOrmatton

London, Aug. 16.-Tile Daily Mai Biarritz correspondent says: The troops sent in pursuit of a band of Carlists. which appeared recently at Alcala de Chisvert, in Valencia, failed to capture the members of the band owing to the complicity of the inhabitants who are all Carlists and feed and conceal the fugitives and give their pursuers false information. Spanish detectives have been dispatched by the government to watch them The fact that all letters from Don Carlos are now taken into Spain by couriers is regarded as proof that they contain orders to his follow CTS and therefore must not fall into the hands of the government.
 "Carlist recruiting officers in several parts of Spain are offering men two pesos day. Accounts sent to Spain by visitors to Don Carlos, at Lucerne have occasioned the greatest alarm, and despite public declarations, it is clear that everything is ready for a Carlist rising immediately upon the conclusion of the peace negotiations. It is believed that Don Carlos will wait until the army return from Cuba before ordering an insurrection as he hopes the Cuban army will return discontent- ed and ripe for revolution. Carlist agents have been working in Cuba for months past.

WORK ON IDENTIFICATION
Will be Carried Forward Despite Sus-
 pension of HOsftlities.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The cessation of hostilities will not make any differ ence with the engineer and ordnance bureaus of the war department in the matter of pursuing work on the fortifi- cations. The engineers will be as active as ever, and the ordnance office will continue it's work in manufacturing and mounting the big guns on the fortifica- tions. The ordnance bureau, however, will not be as active as heretofore in getting together supply of small arms for the infantry and cavalry and field artillery. It has enough of such arms at present, and has discontinued opera tions in that direction. No further defi- nite reports have been received as to the number of Mauser rifles which were captured at Santiago or details as to the condition in which they were found. It is generally believed that the Span ish troops in Cuba which had not sur rendered at the time the protocol was signed will be allowed to retain their arms and take them back to Spain. In- definite reports have reached the ord- nance bureau indicating that the Span ish troops have had a great deal of trouble with the Mauser guns on ac- count of their complicated features which render them liable to get out of order.

4 TREMENDOUS LESSON.
Importance of Sea Power as Evinced by
 Spanish-American War.

London, Aug. 16.-The Times this morning in an editorial article empha- sies the tremendous lesson of the inn portance of sea power evinced in the war between Spain and the United States and says: Nothing but a mira cle or cosmic catastrophe could have averted an ultimate collision between the growing sea power of the United States and the waning Spanish empire Sea power in this sense caused the war and was it's governing factor from first to last. It is lesson to the whole world, the full import of which eau hardly be discerned as yet, for the full fillment by the United of the imperial destiny foreordained by the genius of her peopIe-to be expansive, but not aggressive-will be attended by conse- quences of vital moment, alike to the Old World and the NeW.''

1.-THE sr4R sPANGLED BANNER.,, 1
Enjoyed by Spanish Officers During
 Seige of SantiagO-FoOled.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 3.-The Casi- no Espanol, or Spanish club in Santia- go, much frequented by the Spanish of- ficers, has for some time boasted a gramophone, which was source of joy and delight to the club members before the equalization. Strangely enough, through the long nights of the siege, their favorite piece of music, which they were in the habit of having re- peated four or five times an evening was "The Star Spangled Banner" which greatly pleased their musical souls, al- though they were entirely ignorant of it's origin or significance. As fate would decree on the morning of July IT, when the American flag was hoisted over the governors palace, the regi- mental band of the Sixth cavalry play ed with the utmost gusto this self-same air, whose full meaning then broke up- on the assembled Spanish officers with unusual force and with no little dis comfiture to their already ruff1ed feel ings.

WATERBURY BICYCLE RACES.
Perry of Chicopee, Mass, Won the
 Tyventy-NIile Event.


 Twenty Mile Event.
 Waterbury, Aug. 15.-Upwards of two thousand persons gathered on Athletic field tonight to witness the bicycle races under the auspices of the Water bury Wheel club, though the absence of Hausn1an and Collett detracted some what, inasmuch as the events were not as sharply contested as they would have been had they participated. However, there was considerable enthusiasm dis played, especially in the closing race of twenty paced miles for the amateur middle distance championship. For starters there were such men as Alex ander of Hartford, Wheeler of Danbury, Perry of Chicopee, Mass, Clark of Wa terbury and large list of others. Great interest centered in this race, but much disappointment was felt when after rid ing fifteen or twenty yards Alexander dropped from his wheel and it was evil dent that he did not care to race, as the accident he met with was slight one, and if he was in shape it would not have deterred him from soon catching the bunch. The first three miles of the race was led by Wheeler, with Perry keeping close to his rear wheel. Perry took the lead at he closing of the fourth mile and never lost 1t during the race and succeeded in breaking all ama- teur state records from two to twenty miles, making the twenty miles in 46:11. Perry finished two-thirds of a mile Sy1z. ! T of Wheeler.
 Wheeler for the first ten miles hugged close to Perry, but on the last turn of the tenth mile the hot pace took the Massachusetts lad away from him and at the fifteenth mile he had gained one- third of mile. Again Wheeler fell in behind and for three miles he held his ground well, but was then obliged to fall back. Clark in the meantime at the eighteenth mile fell in when Wheel CT dropped out and by keeping the pace overlook Wheeler, who had two laps the better, and finally beat him out by nearly a lap. Clark finished strong, but it was apparent that Wheeler was not in good condition. The fastest mile of the race was the second, which was made in 2:0S, while the last mile, made in 2:14, was three-fifths of a second faster than the first mile. The sum- mary:
 One-mile tandem handicsp-Won by H. B. Townsend and B. H, Goodwin of Bristol (70 yards); F. Alton Clark and Joseph Sparadowski of Waterbury (45 yards), second. Time, 2 minutes.
 One-mile handicap-Won by w. s. Fenn of Bristol (S5 yards); B. H. Good win of Bristol (115 yards), second; B. c. Thayer of New Britain GAO yards), third. Time, PIP.
 Twenty-mile paced race-Won by L G. Perry of Chicopee. Mass, time 45:11; F. Alton Clark of Waterbury, second; Samuel B. Wheeler of Danbury, third.
