Poor and Insane.

AT the regular monthly meeting
Of the trustees of the poor and in
sane for Cecil county, held on
Saturday at the almshouse the
board accepted the resignation of
Parker Mahan as keeper of the
insane asylum and appointed Wes-
ley McAllister. The board asked
the county fer 5000 and the pro-
ceeds from the farm from the LIST of
July, 1899, to the Both day of June,
1900. The board reports thirty-one
inmates in the almshouse and
twenty-seven in the asylum. The
institution is in good condition.
The board with the county com

accepted an invitation to visit the

Sale of Whiskey as a Franchise.

Owing to the fact that Cecil
county event wet" at the cleo
tion last November, and by the law
then adopted, the number of
licenses in each district We're lin.
tied, the price of hotel property
has doubled and thribbled, Par
ticularly is this the case in Chesa-
peake City, where there are two
hotels, and one of these has remain
ed closed for number OF years
prior to last November, and al
though efforts were made to sell the
property, no bid could be obtained.
AS soon as license had been de
Glazed adopted, the Park Hotel sold
for twice the price that had been
asked heretofore. The Bayard
House had been on the market also
for some time, but no bidders could
be found. About the middle of
March last VIM. Il. Harriott bought
the property at private sale from
John M. Thomas, executor of Mary
Sophia Bayard, for $4,000. Mr..
Queck who had been proprietor of
the hotel for some time, was there
by required to move, and it is re-
ported offered Mr.. Harriott $1,000
for his bargain. The Harriott sale
was reported to the Orphans
Court for ratification as is required
by law, but objections have been
raised by Richard III. Bayard and
others to the confirmation of the
sale, claiming that the price is in
adequate, that $4,000 should be
obtained, and the Court set June
1st as a day for the hearing of the
matter. VIM. T. Warburton rep
resents Mr.. Harriott, who will fight
for a deed for the property, and
John S. Writ is attorney for the
executor; while the petitioners are
represented by a Baltimoreattorney.
The Court stenographer is to take
down the testimony and the Court
of Appeals may yet have to decide
who shall sling beer over the
Bayard House bar. The petitioners
exhibit letter from Walter w.
Akin offering $1,000 for the prop
erty.-Whig.
The moral of this story is that
the franchise to sell liquor is worth
a great deal, and that franchise is
virtually tax laid on the commu-
nifty, to be collected for private
gain entirely, without contributing
anything to the public welfare, but
in every instance serious injuries.

to the cemetery, the procession
gathered around the grave ofC. w J..
Wilson where the decoration cere-

spersed by touching musical selec-
tions by the Post choir. The Ger

by the long roll being sounded as

five in number, Comrades Lieut..

rison, Jethro T. Mccullough, John
