WAR TAX TODAY.
People Of Hawaii Begin Paying it This
Morning.

Every man who deals in bottled goods
is busy today So are the internal re-
venue officers. The war tax has to be
paid. SO also has the internal revenue
tax.
In every saloon and drug store in
town men are busy today putting on
war tax stamps and cancelling them.
The liquor dealers are putting the
stamps on champagne and other VINE
bottles and the drug stores are putting
them on the bottles of proprietary me-
dicines and the packages of chewing
gum they have in stock. or course
good deal of all this kind of commodity
in stock has come from America and
has already had the war tax stamp put
on it, But if it did not come from Am
erica the stamp must go on now.
When a man opens cold bottle for
his friends now, the bottle must show
war tax stamp. None genuine WIN
out the stamp"
By some oversight the treasury de-
partment failed to get certain kinds of
Internal revenue stamps here in time
for use with the birth of the territory.
Some of these were stamps necessary
for beer and liquor in bulk in bono.
None of it could be released from bond
without the stamps. In the emergency
the Internal Revenue officers have had
some documents printed here to affiX
to the packages to identify them, and
to take the place of revenue stamps
until the latter arrive.
The work of the internal revenue Of
ficers will not be done for some time.
What is being done here in Honolulu
must be done wherever there is stock
of liquor. The stocks of liquor in bar
rels and casks must all be officially
gagged. This work will be done by
f. NJ. Driscoll, special gauger, sent
down here by the department from San
Francisco for that special purpose
Checks and drafts presented at the
banks today all bear a two cent war
tax stamp.

The Lightning BOD Question.
Baltimore SIN.


The Electrical Review has been rebuked by
the faithful for its irreverent remarks on the
lightning rod and the lightning rod man who
profits from the farmers faith in it. 1.-THE
fact of the matter" says the Revie0, returning
TO the topic seems to be thatlightningis very
nearly harmless. Somewhere about one hum
bred people are killed by it annually in the
United States, out of population of nearly
eighty million more are killed by the nails in
their shoes or by falling of chimneys. The
real trouble seems to be that thousands upon
thousands of people are badly scared several
times every summer by the lightning. or rather
by the thunder which accompanies it. Far
be it from us to shake the faith of any timor-
Gus soul who believes the feather bed to be
haven of safety during thunderstorm. The
time-honored rules about sitting in drafts on
near open windows or standing under trees
are well worth observing, especially If they
give the individual an additional sense OF
security and alleviate his mortal dread and
distress. We cannot see that any of the dis
cusson has proved that the lightning rod has
been of the least use. At best this would be
negative proof were it possible to produce it.
AS it stands, however, rural districts are the
home of the lightning rod and the place where
lightning does nearly all its damage. We do
not see many lightning rods in cities, nor do
we hear much about the evil effects of light
ming in them" The Revie,c' point is not that
protection is impossible but that the electro
clan at present does not know enough about
lightning to avert it. More knowledge is
wanted. SIN the absence of this" says our
contemporary, "he can only say that money
spent in lightning rods is generally wasted"

A SPLENDID RAILWAY SYSTEM.

Baltimore Herald.
One Of the finest street railway services in the
country is operated in Baltimore, the 0Omiles
of track making il possible for one to go to any
part Of the city without trouble. Baltimore
has only electric cars, all of the latest and
most approved model, on her streets, and they
add greatly to the the comfort of life. The
street railways are controlled by one large
company, which also controls the electric light
ing plants of the city.
The United Railways and Electric Company
embraces nearly so different and distinct lines,
and is the result of a combination of the in
terests of the various companies. The con-
solidation was effected about a year ago and
has proved complete success, as it is posi-
bic for the company to operate its lines at a
reduced cost. The history of the street rail-
way in Baltimore is one of continued and
rapid growth. The city was almost the
pioneer with electric cars, and long before the
horse car had been supplanted in other cities
Baltimore had demonstrated the advantages of
the electric service. Cable roads were operated
here for some time, but they were all displaced
by the electric system, which has proven very
satisfactory in every respect.
The overhead system of trolley is used, and
there is very little trouble with it. Up to the
consolidation, while the railroads had been
prosperous, they had paid no large dividends
1t was seen that could the companies be united
into one large corporation the running expen-
ses could be made materially less. The Con-
solidated Railroad, the Baltimore and Northern,
the City Passenger and the Central lines, with
others less important, were incorporated, along
with the electric lighting plants, into one large
concern. with capitalization of $4,000, 900.
The officers of this immense concern are
Messrs. Nelson Perrin, president; Col w. s.
Franklin, vice-president Henry McJilton,
secretary, and B. O. Keck treasurer.
being one of the most expert street railway
men in the country Mr. House was in the
employ of a street railway company almost as
a boy. and has risen to his present high posi-
ton through sheer energy and sterling worth.
He is an authority on all matters pertaining
to the street railroad.

BEAUTIES OF LOCAL SCENERY.
Westminster Democratic Advocate.

Westnainster Democratic Advocate.
The scenery seeking people Of this State and
county 60 to Niagara Falls and other places Of
note to view the beautiful works of nature
They do not take notice Of our local scenery
which is among the grandest Of this country.
The natural sights of interest which abound
in Carroll and Frederick counties alone are far
superior to many scenes which have been
given much space in the Geography of the
United States. Take for instance the village
and surrounding country of Taylorsville, in
this county. This village is situated on one
Of the highest points of PARIS Ridge, which
originates in Virginia, follows parallel with
the Atlantic coast, and runs through Mary
land, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. and
terminates near the city of New York. into
what is known as the Palisades. Standing
anywhere in this village you may view the
Blue Ridge Mountains. On the western side,
between this ridge and the Blue Ridge Noun
tains lies one of the most beautiful valleys in
the State. Then letting the eye gradually fall
you view the head waters of Talbot creek,
which flows drought the narrow but beautiful
Talbot Valley, in which is some of the most
fertile land of our State.
This stream has its head waters far upon
the side of PARIS Ridge, in fact very near the
top of the ridge. 1t makes its way through
valley of rustic beauty for about three miles,
when the valley suddenly becomes one of
GRANDEUR narrow rayine with rocky walls
rising to the height Of nearly 900 feet and
almost perpendicular. They are, in fact, so
nearly vertical that ascent is almost impossi-
BILE. These bills and surroundings are known
as the "Bald Hills" The gulch dividing these
hills, and through which runs Talbot creek,
is about four miles long and suddenly ter
inmates into q valley of exceeding beauty.
This stream glides softly into the Monocacy,
which empties into the Potomac.
Then, from the village before mentioned,
you may view, on the east, stream which
runs in an easterly direction. that is directly
opposite to the direction taken by Talbot creek.
This is the headwaters of the Patapsco and
terminates in the Chesapeake Bay.
Then from one place we may view the above
named streams which have their headwaters
not over one-quarter of q mile apart, yet they
flow in directly opposite directions
But these are not the only streams which
have their headwaters about this village of
grand scenery, but there are many others rising
near here, and each has its share of beauty.
The land which is near and about this vii
lage consists of gently rolling and level sur
face. You can easily pull binder or any
heavy agricultural implement, which general
ly requires four or five horses, with two horses.
There are many hundreds of acres of such land
which spreads forth like the much spoken of
western prairie.
They who seek scenery may find it of gran
deur and sublimity in this State and county.
