First and Greatest Surety
Company in the South. and
One of the Best Financial
Institutions in the World

In our advertisement columns
this week appears the statement
of the Fidelity and Deposit Com
pany of Baltimore, one of the
largest and most reliable con
Germs in the United States. 1t is
a most gratifying showing of the
resources of this institution,
which has had such a marvellous
growth since its organization
nine years ago. The capital
stock was then 5000, 600. Within
the past years the capital stock
has been increased from 81, 0U0,.
600 to 81, 800, 900, the increase
alone being S300,000 more than
the original capitalization. This
of itself is showing of the mag.
nitude of the business done by
the company, which has terri
tory bounded by the two oceans
and their tributaries. Lack of
time and space fOrbidS a lengthy
review Of the progress of the con
Germ from its infancy, but Sut1i.
clent it is to say that no other
company of like character sur
passes it i'll StaunchneSS and few
equal it in the variety and char
acter of its lines of business. 1t
makes speciality of bonding of.
ticials and employees holding po-
SitionS of trust at reasonable rates
for the service, wholly insuring
the employer from any possible
loss. One of the leading spirits
in the company and one who has
been identified with its Organiza-
ton and its subsequent progress
and substantially, is President
Edwin Warfeld. He is self
made man i'll every way. and one
of the ableSt tinancierS in the
country. Associated with him
in the management of the com.
pany are ii. Crawford Black, j.
II. Stonebraker, Henry b. Plat,
son of Thomas Platt, of New
York, vice presidents. and Her
man Il. BoSler, secretary and
treasurer.

On April 18th, the law against
fishing went into effect, and con.
tinues until June 1St., at which
time the festive black bass and
other game fish may be again
lured from their watery lairS.
This law was passed by the
General Assembly of 1896, at the
solicita ion of many true sports
men, who whilst enjoying the
pleasures of fishing, had in view
also, the protection of the young
spawn, which begin and com
plete the Matching process about
this time. According to a proc

SPORTSMEN'S EXHIBITION
Good Showing Of Frederick
County Dogs by Monocacy
Valley Kennels.

The big Sportsmen's EXPOSE
ton began in Baltimore, Monday
last, at Prospect Park with a graf
flying crowd in attendance. 1t
is the first attempt in this State
to combine and classify all kinds
of sport in one vast combination,
and the success of this will surely
promote others in the future.
Among the most successful eX-
hibitors in the pointer dog field
trials and classes was Mr.. j.
Roger McSherry, Of Braddock,
this county, proprietor of the
Monocacy Valley Kennels. He
took good things in the field
trials on Tuesday and WedneS-
day with his cracks, Ripsaw and
Ripple. In the Judging and
bench classes he took all the
hOnorS, getting first prize with
Ripsaw, Tuscarora, Diana, Monoc-
acy, Maryland Pat first and
second with Maid of Monocacy
and Monocacy Girl, and first
with Springside Faust.
This is a most creditable show
ing for Mr.. McSherry's dogs ant
indicates that lie knows a gooC
one when he sees it and is on tn,
road to success in this profitable
occupation.

RECRUITING OFFICE.
One Established in This City
in Charge Of Captain Skunk.
Only a Few Enlist so Far.

Captain w. A. Skunk, of the
United States Regular Army, has
opened recruiting Office on South
Market street, near the bridge,
for the purpose of receiving APP
plicatiOns from able bodied men
for service in the infantry, artil
lery or cavalry branch of the
army.
Previous to coming here, Cap
tain Skunk has been in Hagers-
town, Cumberland, York, Pa =,
and other places, picking up
those who wished to enlist. Quite
a number were secured.
Whilst a grand rush has not
taken place toward the recruiting
office, several men have been ex-
amined and accepted Others
have been turned down. DIR. Ira
j. McCurdy is the examining ply
stefan. Two of those accepted,
w. G. Stauffer and Edward ID.
DettlOyd, were ordered at once to
Fort Meade, South Dakota. They
left Tuesday evening for their
post of duty.
1t is not likely that the service
just now, in view of the terrible
experience of the soldiers and
the revelations concerning "Em-
balmed beef" will hold out gilt
tering provisions to anyone having
achanceto pick up an honest dollar
otherwise. Men do not care to be
made targets of just to please the
administration and help carry out
its policy of benevolent Assim-
ulation." However, much of the
work of the new recruits will be
at home unless there is an unex-
pected necessity for them at the
front.
Captain Skunk is assisted by
an orderly sergeant and clerk.
Mr.. Moody w. Burgess, of
New Market, was enlisted in the
cavalry service Wednesday and
ordered to Fort Meade, South
Dakota.
This makes only three so far
in Frederick. In York, Sc; Cum
berland, II, and Hagerstown, 10
men were taken into the service.
The station will be removed Sat
urday to Chambersburg, Pa.

Condition of Grain and Grasses

The condition of winter wheat
Is below the average, hut the
warm weather has greatly bene-
iited the crop and it has probably
made more advance in the past
week than it did during the whole
of the preceding month. The
fields are quite spotted in some
sections and decided contrasts in
condition are found within com
parltively narrow limits. The
main factors influencing the crop
seem to have been the time of
sowing and the nature of the
drainage. The earlier planted
fields are generally the best in ap-
pearance and the low grounds for
the most part show thinneSt
stands. An exception is found in
cases where the crop was planted
on knobs or high knobs: there
the stands are also poor, the
snow having been blown away
during the severe winter freezes.

same general influences as wheat
during the winter season, but
