This is an Unparalleled Record.

When Roscoe Hill, colored, died of lockjaw
after having everything done that was possible
for him in sympathy, treatment and medical
aid his father was notified and came down
from Harrisburg. 1t was too late. When be
jumped out of the cherry tree in the lot on
Prospect street he landed on such long and
ugly nail that the needle of the surgeon, called
in some hours later, failed to follow all its
tracks and the deadly germ did its work.
This is the first case of tetanus lost by this
surgeon, DR.. Simmons, out of rs. The boy
was stricken on Friday and died on Wednes-
day, taking his sufferings with wonderful
bravery up to the end even when bent into the
shape of bow. He was from Charlestown
and thence was taken for interment yesterday.
a remarkable citizen. At the time of the
Worlds Fair in Chicago a great effort was
made to have him go there as a curiosity in
humanity, he being then the father Of IS chill
dren of one mother all living, this child,
Roscoe, being one of the youngest. The
father did not go, preferring the seclusion OF
private life. Since that year, 1893, he has
buried his wife and IL children, having now
but living and feels that after having raised
such wonderful flock he is doomed to be left
alone in the world. He is not an old looking
man vet and is said to be counting again with
a view of getting married. He would have
married sooner but IS funerals in seven years
have kept him finding ii hard to get along.
This man Hill certainly holds the record for
this section of the four states. 1t is likely
that he also holds the record for bereavements
in a regular way in the shortest time.

The Water Companies Will Have Some
Fun Among Themselves.-A sharp rivalry
has sprung up between several Baltimore
county water companies who are seeking the
right to lay mains on some of the principal
avenues and roads in the lower end of the 9th
district. The Baltimore County Electric Light
and Water Company, the Emilia and Tuxedo
Park Electric Light and Water Company and
the Mount Washington Water Company each
desire to secure the privilege of laying mains
in the territory. The County Commissioners
had set last Tuesday for a hearing in the mat
ter, but Col. NJ. W. Offutt, representing Mr..
Douglas H. Gordon, appeared before the Board
and asked that the hearing be postponed. He
stated that Mr.. Gordon owned large amount
of property on one of the avenues on which it
was proposed to lay the mains, and he was
deeply interested in regard to the granting of
the franchise. After considerable debate the
Board decided 10 postpone the hearing until
August %.

Bryan Growing Old.
ToaI:,,o TTyooLI.,

1t is the verdict of those who have but &C.
casionally seen Mr.. Bryan during the past
four years that he has aged greatly. When he
was nominated in 1896 he was but thirty-six
years old, and possessed virility and vigor
that made him man of mark in any circle
There was an alertness of eye, mobility of
mouth, a smoothness of feature, an absence
of the lines that denote care and mental and
physical strain, and musical ring to the voice
Today his eye is stern, the mouth in repose is
tightly closed and there is metallic sound,
faint but yet distinct, in his voice. There is
fullness under the eyes, and about them little
crows feet" Two well marked lines diverge
to right and left from the nostrils, and there is
deep indentation in the chin, where before
were the merest outlines of dimple.
While Mr.. Bryan has been unable to con-
vince majority of the American people of the
soundness of his logic, it is a curious fact that
he can, in a few minutes conversation, con-
vince even his stanchest opponents of his alb
solute sincerity. He is Presbyterian, a reg
ular attendant at church, but not inclined to
pose as religious man. His amusements are
simple. His books are, of course, bis chief
pleasure. These are many. Fiction is but
poorly represented; the great majority are
compilations of the great speeches of all times,
histories and economies. Horseback riding is
another enjoyment of his. In the suburbs of
Lincoln he has thirty acre farm, where he
practices agriculture and conducts experiments
in soil culture. His family is his chief care.
His home life is everything that could be de-
sired When he is on his travels he never
forgets the members of his family. and his
course can be accurately traced by the stream
of gifts he sends home.

The School Book Contract in Carroll
A letter from Westminster says: 1.-The Car
roll County Board of School Commissioners
and the William ]. G. Dulany Company, of
Baltimore, have filed demurrers to the bill of
complaint entered against them about week
ago BY John H. Cunningham, cashier of the
Farmers and Mechanics National Bank of
Westminster. The suit instituted by Mr..
Cunningham was for the purpose of compel
ling the School Board to rescind a contract for
books to be used in the public schools of Car
roll county, which contract they had awarded
to the William ]. G. Dulany Company for
period of two years. Mr.. Cunningham claim
ed injury to him as taxpayer by reason of
the contract, alleging that the bid of the J. W..
Bond Company. of Baltimore submitted to
the School Board at its suggestion on the day
the contract was awarded, was much lower
than that of the Dulany Company.
1.-The demurrers of the School Board and the
Dulany Company were both alike, the words
and language being identical. They demurred
to the bill in its entirety and denied that the
plaintiff had case in which he conld seek re-
lief in equity, and that he was in no wise in
jured or damaged by reason of the matters
alleged, either as taxpayer of the county or
of the State. The suit is attracting great at
tention, and sensational developments are ex-
pected. Argument on the demurrers will be
heard on Friday before Judges /. Thomas
Jones and James Revell. Benjamin f. Grouse
and William H. Thomas appeared as attorneys
for the School Board and the Dulany Com
pany, respectively. Barton, Wilmer, Stewart
& Amber and ] NJ. Reifsnider appear for Mr..
Cunningham"

The Ideas of Children.


A Twenty-ninth ward public school teacher,
who has sense of humo-, has culled some
remarkable bits of information from her ex-
animation papers. Questions bearing upon the
habits of animals were found to be particular
ly amusing. One small boy declared, in fit
of poesy, that 1.-THE lion is the queen of beasts"
From another, more practical, ''the lion has
great big mouth, and roars something fearful"
One evident admirer of that world-renowned
hero, Colonel Cody, tells us 'the buffalo is one
animal of the temperate zone, which belongs
to the Wild Man, and adds: 1.-THE horse is an
animal what plays and dances as soon as he
hears music" Another brilliant one gives
the somewhat startling information that ''the
rhinoceros has a stone nose, and that "dogs is
a domestic animal, which chews bones" 1--WE
are also told: The llama is beast of burden,
and we get clothes off its back" Another
animal evidently in the clothing business is
the seal, which, we are informed, makes
coats" Upon other subjects the answers were
equally as enlightening The miner we learn,
always has donkey to pull him out of the
mine. which is full of gas and chokes him" ,
One future citizen informs US that ''the chief
occupation of Philadelphia is taking ferry
boats across the river"
