COUNTY AFFAIRS.

County Treasurer William T. Fryer, OF
Cecil county, has effected settlement with
the national banks of Baltimore for county
taxes due on banks stock held by residents
OF Cecil county for the years 1897, 1898 and
1859 upon the same basis as a settlement with
the city OF Baltimore was made. The county
had placed the taxes as deinquents in the
hands OF the Sheriff Of Cecil county for col
lection, with added interest and costs. But
the banks, through their attorneys Homer
Il Willis, refused to pay the tax unless the
interest and costs were deducted. The
County Commissioners at first were disposed
to enforce the payment OF the tax with In
terest and costs and carry the case to the
courts, II necessary, but, owing to the amount
involved In litigation, they passed an order
accepting the face Of the claim without In
terest and costs. The amount OF tax involved
for the three years was about $1,000.

attempt to carry out their threats.
Miss Charshea aimed the pistol at one of
the men. Just then the young ady's mother

upon the owners Of cemeteries and request
that the cemeteries be closed against funerals
on Sundays, except in special cases.
stme time ago general meeting of city
clergymen was held at Association Hall and
steps were taken looking toward discontin-
uance of Sunday funerals and for some time
there was falling Off, but the movement was
not effective.
Recently general meeting of clergymen
OF Wilmington was held at Association Hall
and resolution was adopted looking toward
the discontinuance OF Sunday burials This
was not effective. however, although a de-
crease in funerals on that day was noticeable.
For many years not Roman Catholic has
been inferred on Sunday, as the Diocese of
that day. From time to time the Wilmington
NJ. L. Preachers Association has reafflrmed
a resolution requesting that no arrangements
be made for interment on the Sabbath, but
these requests have not brought the results

Up to this date the following
counties have given Senator
Berry good majorities: Pope,
Johnson, Crawford, Howard,
Ashley, Lincoln. Desha, lizard,
independence, Chicot and Yell,
while Gov. Jones has carried lone
Faulkner by the small majority
Of SO votes. Gov. Jones must
certainly begin to realize that he
is barking up the wrong tree.
He is hopelessly left. His flop
into The expansion camp doubly
sealed his doom. Gov. Jones
cannot preach his expansion doc
trine into the minds Of the people
of Arkansas, and now let him

SHELDON'S PAPER.

The Rev. C. NJ. Sheldon took
charge of the Topeka, Kansas,
Capital on the morning Of the
18th inst. and for one week that
paper was conducted in a style
which Mr.. Sheldon assumes
would be followed by Jesus were
he on earth and engaged in the
newspaper business. Mr., Shell
don's publication was unique in
all respects, as compared with
the great dailies of modern times.
The news department, which the
world today considers the most
important feature of a journal,
was severely cut down and the
barest details given. No large
headlines were allowed. In
dealing with news of a criminal
character Mr.. Sheldon gave to
the public only meager details
and the cause of the crime. All
sensational news was barred
from publication. No liquor or
tobacco advertisements found
their way into the columns Of the
Capital during Mr.. Sheldon's
ownership. No sporting news
was printed. A great portion of
the paper was devoted to clip
pings and discussion Of moral
and social subjects.
1t is doubtful whether Rev.
Sheldon's paper will have any
effect on modern journalism.
The world looks to the dailies for
the news of the day, and a paper
Of Rev. Sheldon's idea would not
prove a success until the people
have been educated to remain in
Ignorance Of the current happen
ings.
