The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1900-05-19

~ Towson has no base ball team this sea-
son and the young men who got up the tennis
club last summer are making no move to re-
organize it. 1t is not commendable to see
Young people lose interest in athletic sports.
Such as these not only afford innocent amuse-
ment and entertainment but are good for the
development of the muscles and therefore con-
ducve to the health.
- MANY complaints are being made about
the bad behavior late at night of young colored
people on the streets on the east side OF Tow
| SON. They meet in squads in front of houses
and by their loud and often profane and OBJ
scene language make it extremely unpleasant
for order-loving people. This practice should
| be broken up and it is the business OF the
night officer to do it at once.
- Ira Myers, of Boring, 4th district, &C.
companied By his father, Mr.. William A.
Myers, applied at the County Clerks office
on Wednesday for a marriage license. He
! gave his age as 10 and while bis father was
| Willing that the license should be issued to
| him. he did not have the written consent Of
| his mother, as required by law in the case of
minors, and he had to be turned down.
= According to the condemnation jury that
tried the Ridgely damage case at Towson last
week it is worth $3.50 to put up telegraph
| pole on ones property, but by. the time the
| company gets through with this trial-count-
ing counsel fees, expense OF jury, etc.Ethe
cost of each pole will be nearly double that.
Hence it would appear the part Of good policy
| not to let any more of the cases come to trial.
> City people who are looking for country
board at this season may not demand the
earth exactly, but they want pretty good
| slice oft. A Baltimore family advertses for a
nlace convenient to city on electric line
must keep a good table, plenty of porch
room and shade; private family preferred, u
etc. Nothing is said about price, but this OF
course, would have to be down to the lowest
notch.
I'VE publish today very interesting ar
ticle from Mr.. James B. Heisse on "A Great
Eclipse Coming" This eclipse is timed for the
18th of this month and is attracting great
deal of attention all over the country. Mr..
Heisse. who is an enthusiastic student of as
tronomy, is principal of the public school at
Hebbville I'd district and was prominently
mentioned for the examinership of the public
schools.
Smith, William E. George, II. c. Ridgely and
George Loos have incorporated the Liberty
Road Improvement Association OF Baltimore
county. 1t is formed for the purpose of pro-
noting the interests Of the taxpayers and resi-
dents of the I'd district by securing needed i'm
provements etc. The association has no CAPT
tai stock and is strictly non-political aud non
sectarian. .
> At the last meeting of the Young Mems
Literary and Debating Society OF Towson the
subject discussed was Resolved, that Happl
ness Increases with Civilization" Affirmative

tive. Robert A. Tarbert and ]. Thomas Phipps
Decision in favor of the former. Rev. j. X
Edwards, pastor of Towson Nj. E. Church

short address.
THE UNION Acknowledges the receipt O
an invitation to attend the dedication, May
Both. of the monument erected by the State o
MARYLAND on the battlefield of Antietam to thu
soldiers of Maryland in the Union and Con
federate armies who were engaged in that bat
tie Col Benjamin +. Taylor, OF Baltimor
county, is president of The Antietam Battle
field Commission, under whose supervision tn
monument was erected.
The people of Govanstown have a seri
! Gus problem before them and that is the dis
position of garbage. The county provides NJ
remover of garbage for that place and the eli
liens are a good deal agitated on the subject
/ Some of them say that the office of policema
should be abandoned and the money used I
hire garbageman, if no other plan can De o.
yised The health of the people demands this
a matter of such grave importance should
: given consideration.
