To Restore Mason and Dixon Line.

To Restore Mason and Dixon Line.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania has
already made provision for the restora-
ton of the Mason and Dixon line, and
the Maryland Legislature has introduced
q bill at the present session for its pat
ofthe expense. The Joint appropriation
will be 6Io, 900. The line will be re-
surveyed, and where monuments are
missing they will be recovered, II
possible, or replaced by new ones ms
work may be commenced this year.
The boundary monuments have been
removed in many cases, and in others
seriously damaged. One was fourd IN
Baltimore, another was used as a stone
step at a mill, and still others were
removed far from their proper positions
AS the result, the exact boundary line
between Maryland and Pennsylvania is
in doubt. This line was run in 1868 and
1868. by two English surveyors, Mason
and Dixon, whose names were given the
line. AS originally located, it extended
from the northeastern corner OF Mary
land ago miles, IIs chains and 2I links
to a point now within the county oi
Fayette. in Pennsylvania
When the surveyors we're running the
line through the mountain regions OF
Pennsylvania, thev were frequently
attacked by Indians, and the work was
completed amid great peril, In fact the
extension Of the line westward was
prevented by the savages. Monuments
were erected one mile apart and every
fifth mile there was placed stone called
a crown stone. which differed from the
others in being larger and having on the
southern side "M'' and the coat OF arms
OF Lord Baltimore. On the northern
side was the letter Up" and the coat Of
arms Of William Penn. These monu'
ments were made in England and
brought TO :his country. Thev were
expected to establish the location ofthe
line for all time to come

Mount Vernon Avenue.

It becomes a matter Of interest to the
people OF the entire Union to see that
some reminder Of the Centenary Of
Washington's death be erected, and the
most fitting memorial that can be made
by the Government will be to build the
proposed Mount Vernon Avenue, leading
from the Capitol OF the United States to
Mount Vernon, the tomb Of Wa hington.
The leading papers OF the United States
have recently taken up the question of
building up this important thoroug hiare,
and heartily endorse the proposition.
1t is proposed that each State and
Territory shall have a section devoted
exclusively TO its own pur poses on
which ii can erect monuments to It's own
great men, and present its particular
advantages to the thousands who
will visit in the future Washington city,
and drive ever this the finest avenue IN
the world. When the intention OF the
suggestor OF the plan is carried out the
road will become the most unique in the
worlds history, comprising all the
features of the Roman Apisn WAY and
the British Abbey Of Westminster. No
more fitting tribute Can be paid to the
father of his country and none more
useful to the American people. 1t will
not only connect the National Capital
and the National Mecca, but will connect
Washington with the National Cemetery
at Arlington, and also with Forts Meyer
and Hunt. It will run by or through the
City OF Alexandra, Washington home
town. In a word, it will not only be
splendid memorial of the founder of
American Independence, out it will be
a tribute to liberty and free government.

Within the past few days Hon. w. e.

veloped quite boom for Judge of the
Supreme Court of Appeals. No name

He is particularly noted for his learn
ing in the science of the law; has fair
ness and integrity. He is admired and
respected by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike, and besides, is personally
very popular.
Mr.. Raymond is the only candidate
who will ask for a position on the State
ticket from this section of the State,
and he will go into the convention
with Gilmer, Braxton, Lewis, Webster
and Upshur counties practically solid
for him.
Aside from Mr. Haymond's peculiar
fitness for the posjtion-it would he

the nomination. Braxton county never
asks anything FOR herself, but always
rolls up big Democratic majority,
and now that she asks this nomination
for a favorite son-who is especially
qualified for the position. 1t is but
Just and right that that good old DEM
ocratic county's request should be

GERMANY'S PLAN
For Strengthening Her Position in
Case of Trouble With the United

For strengthening Her Position in
Case Of Trouble With the United
States.
NEW YORK, May IA special to
the Herald from Washington says:
1t is the belief of we'll informed de-
partment officials here that Germany
will heed the warnings given her by
Secretary Root and Senator Lodge by
mere strongly urging the passage OF
the bill providing for the increase of
the navy desired by the German en-
peror.
1t is understood that the administra-
ton expects Germany to try to block
automatically every plan which may
strengthen the position of the United
States as in the case of the Danish
West Indies, but it is not supposed for
a moment that she will go to the ex-
tent of hostilities 1t Is thought to be
her policy to continue the colonization
of Central and South America to get
a preponderant German influence in
those states, so that in case of war
with the United States, these German
communities might have an important
bearing upon the degree of neutrality
the southern republics would enforce.
Embassy officials say there are too
many Germans in the fatherland, that
they must emigrate somewhere and
that they have selected Central and
South America and Asia Minor because
they are undeveloped in places in which
immigrants may live without restric-
tons,
