THE TYSON MILLIONS.
Maryland Claimants to the Estate of
James Tyson, of Australia, Are Hear
ing Nothing Encouraging.

The Maryland Tysons who have set up
claims to part OF the many millions Of
James Tyson, who died some time ago in
Australia, are not hearing anything en-
couraging, In an interview few days ago
with Baltimore reporter Mr.. w. Lee
Camden, who represented several of the
Maryland claimants, said
sit was pretty generally believed that
James Tyson was born in Cecil county,
Md, and at an early age, with his parents,
went to England to live, and from there to
Australia where he succeeded in boarding
a large fortune by means of successful
mining ventures and economical living.
"Many of the Tysons in Towson and in
Cecil county, who are defendants of Reiner
Tyson, who came to this country from Ger
many in 1853, have employed counsel to
represent any supposed interest they might
have in the Tyson millions. and am told
that many Of these have filed their claims.

more Of the supposed heirs, making inquiry
as to what developments have been made
in the matter, and as there are some 400 or

satisfaction to them to know just what
progress is being made in the way OF es-
tablishing proof Of the heirs OF James
Tyson.

Sunday School Work.

Letter From State Superintendent Geo.
N. Mock.
DEAR FELLOw-WoRKERs
Help us for little while to consider the
Sunday School as an evangelizing agency.
1t is too often considered merely as an
age2cy to perpetuate the local church life
and as such is called a nursery OF the
God has more extensive field for us to
cultivate.
In every community there are children
whose parents are not in the church
children who are not in the Sunday School
thus neither at home nor elsewhere are
they receiving religious instruction and
perhaps but little, if any, moral training.
To teach these should be the earnest effort
of the school. They must be taught better
things and led into higher and purer
motives now In III ost instances it will be
too late when they get well up into their
teens. II we desire a righteous citizenship
we must begin with the children. While
the public school is instructing them in
the duties and obligations of citizenship it
will avail but little il the home, the church
and the Sunday School fail to educate their
consciences and strengthen them in convic
tions of right to put into practice what
they are taught in the secular school.
Ii should be remembered that we are
suffering today not so much from ignorance
of duty az violation of known duty. The
men who are corrupting the ballot and
seeking to drag State interests into the
mire of partizanship and political trickery
are not ignorant men. The State is safer
from ignorant voters than intelligent voters
without character.
1t should also be remembered that the
criminal class is not composed generally Of
people ignorant of the law. Some Of our
conyicts are men of culture, and the greater
number of them can read and write. In
nearly every case there was culpable neglect
in their childhood by the home or by the
religious agencies where they lived. There
is not a convict in Marylan that could not
have been made by carly and proper in.
struction and influence good citizen in
stead of an expense and menace to the
State.
Thus we see the Importance of going he
-. J..
aud bringing under our influence every
child OF the community.
Fraternally,

TIMELY ADVICE.
Special Instructions for Treating Trees
Infested with San Jose Scale.

1D II the tree is badly infested, and
too far gone to save by system Of treat
ment, grub it up by the roots, trim and
pile wood and brush where it stood, do not
burn wood or brush, at least, until after
midsummer. Nature has some natural
enemies at work upon the scale and these
little friends must not be burned. II
brush is piled, the scales all die in few
days, the little friends escape and ooncen-
trate their attacks upon other trees where
the scale exists, and where it has been
overlooked. Scale cannot possibly live
upon a twig or piece OF wood cut before
May 10Th. 1t spreads only when the young
appear, which is between June 10th and
the late fall | have seen young crawling
on trees, during open warm weather as
late as December 10Th; but such late indi-
viduals could not possibly survive the
winter, as it would be practically impos-
sible for them to cover themselves with the
scale-like covering.
(2) If the tree is only moderately infested
prune it as much as possible, saving every
branch and twig piling them in some place
in or near the orchard.
(3) Then spray peach and plum with
a 90 per cent mixture OF kerosene and
water and pear and apple with 25 per cent.
mixture. Spray thoroughly using COM
bination kerosene and water sprayer if pos
sible.
(4) II you have an ordinary sprayer
you can use whale oil soap in water at the
rate of 2pounds to gallon, before the
buds open. Use good grade of caustic
potash whale-oil soap, and apply when
warm.
(5) Crude petroleum can be used also,
and should be applied before the buds
open.
At all times keep close watch on your
orchard and if a tree looks suspicious send
me a twig by mail without delay willis

| UTE an amusing scene was en-
acted on Water street, near the
~ bridge, one day not long ago.
~ The principal actors were a
young member of the legal fraternity and
one of our prominent Main street mer-
chants.
Our merchant friend is quite an enthu-
siastic sportsman and is never happier than
when he is planning hunt somewhere,
looking over a gun catalogue or telling
some story of former experience.
His latest device for sporting purposes is
rubber, pneumatic boat, so-called, but in
general appearance, Is more ike one of
our North street friends trousers inflated
to their full wearing size
Now, our merchant friend desired to test
the buoyancy Of his new boat, and not
caring to take the risk in such a small
affair (for boat, he called on this legal
friend who has quite lot OF sporting
blood and asked him TO make trial.

was there to witness the experiment. The
man of law, apparently without fear, and
surely without hesitation, stepped into
this queen craft and Immediately started
for the channel. All hands were breath
less-the merchant, for fear his purchase
was failure, the crowd sympathetic for
the young lawyer in the boat. But he
continued on until the channel was reached
and would have gone further but the crowd
by rising vote proclaimed it bowling
success and that it bids fair to relegate the
sink box to the rear.
Our lawyer friend now has carte blanche
to use the rubber boat at pleasure for such
daring exploit.
We all knew he was brave, but as he
had never shown it before we had held it

Admiral Rogers Reports That the New

siastically assert that her equal is not afloat,

aboard and all tests being made under
service conditions, the ships performance
is fair criterion of what may be expected
of her in the future in battling with either
enemies or the elements.
Admiral Rodgers said: "The trial was
most satisfactory; it leaves little to be de-
sired. Both the seaworthiness and fighting
efficiency of the ship were tested, and both
were up to expectations. She is speedy
fifteen knots under natural draught being
maintained for two hours. This would en-
able her to maintain raking position on
the quarter OF any battleship, and almost
any vessel whatever.
'The battery efficiency Of the ship was
thoroughly tested, all the guns being fired
twice around with full service charges, and
the guns in the main and superimposed
turrets being fired in battery, or four at the
same time. She stood the strain splendidly
The working of the gun-mounts, turret
mechanism and all her machinery were
carefully observed, and were quite as salts

After meals you should have simply Il feel
ing of comfort and sat-f faction. You should
not feel any specific indications that digestion
is going on. If you do, you have indigestion,
which means not-digestion. This may be
the beginning of so many dangerous diseases,
that it is best to take in hand at once and treat
it with Shaker Digestive Cordial. For you
know that indigestion makes poison, which
causes pain and sickness. And Shaker D-
gestive Cordial helps digestion and cures
indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cordial does
this by providing the digestive materials in
which the sick stomach is wanting. 1t also
tones up and strengthens the digestive organs
and makes them perfectly healthy. This is
the rationale of its methed of cure, as the
doctors would say. Sold by druggists, price
10 cents to 51.00 per bottle.

A Patriot--In Disguise.

How sincere, how earnest, how de-
voted to the interests of ,he dear peO-
pie some of the leaders of the demo-
cratic party must have been during
the campaign just ended! For ex-
ample there is that loud voiced cham
pion of Organism, the San Francisco
Examiner. Just three days after the
defeat the democratic party this anus
ing confession appears in that paper:
"The democracy must be the pro-
gressive party The mistakes it has
committed in the past are not to be
charged to its progressiveness. Free
silver was not, as SO many imagine, an
example of reckless rush into an un-
tried experiment. Quite the reverse.
1t was case not of progress, but of
retrogression. 1t was proposition to
return to a system which had served
the world well for thousands of years,
but had recently been outgrown. 1t
was no utopian scheme for advancing
from the railroad train to the flying
machine; 1t was plan to go back
| from the automobile TO the OK team"
| That sentence "The mistakes the
democracy has made in the past are
not to be charged to it's progressive
ness" is :ruly delightful. 1t should be
put on ice and preserved. But read
these extracts from the Examiners
double loaded editorial the very NOR
ming after election:
"American public opinion believes
in the retention of the Philippines, and
in the extension of that country OF
truly American form of government,
under which the Filipinos would have
no provocation to revolt. 1t believes
that free silver was dead IN 1896 and
| is 10 times deader in 1900. That is
one issue, at least, that will not be
heard OF again it the immediate future"
And again:
"ro give liberty to to the Filipinos
it was not essential to grant indepen-
dence, Mr.. Mckinley, if elected, will
find it absolutely;necessary to establish
liberty in the Philippines and settle
the affairs of Porto Rico in accordance
with American traditions, and If he
defers that work it will be done by
democratic president"

GLU77OMY

Is more common than we may think, if
I'VE define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of sustenance and beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is a fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-
ton on many person who would resent
the term as an insult The fact of this
gluttony is marked by its consequences.
The overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular, term for the coiidi-
tion is uweak y stomach. The vweak
stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu-
triton for the body, and soon the vweak-
ness spreads from the stomach to other
organs.

cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t
enables the perfect assimilation of food,
by which alone the health and strength
Of the body is maintained.
