day afternoon for visit to Easton, Talbot |
county. His purpose is to inspect the de- |
partment Of the manual training OF the high |
school at that place, with the view Of install |
ing = similar system at the Havre de Grace |
high school, which is admirably adapted for |
the purpose. 1t will be remembered that the |

fifteen humid ell dollars towards the main |
tenau"e Of one Of these schools IN each coun- |
ty, subj. ct to certain restrictions.

- The census returns Of Hartford county |
give toe population to be IS. 269. This is |
loss OF about six hundred sioce 1890 This |
may or not be accurate, but the voting list |
would seem to indicate larger population. |
1t is true that many young men who claim |
Hartford as their home reside temporarily |
elsewhere and Of course were enumerated at |
their places OF business. Had the result |
showed falling off below $4,000 we would |
have lost one member Of the House of Dele |
gates as it requires that number to have four |
representatives,.
William Thomas. who was convicted of |
hurglaYiztag the house of DR.. j. G. Segar, in |
Hayre de Grace, recently, vas on Friday, |
sentenced ley Judge Walters to eight years in |
the peniteutiary. This may seem a heavy |
pensIty but it entirely u just one. Bur |
gary is one of the most heinous crimes and !
tae cuIpnt should be severely dealt with |
1t is only of recent years that the grade was
reduced from capital offenses. lii lie course
OF time We hope that criminals will discover
ihst hartford county is not safe harboring
place for their violations of law. Horse
thieves have giyen US \ wide birth since the |
celebrated Hoon case.
