But this surgeon was just as wonder
full as al aurist Very few people have
two good ears. Nine out of ten people
are particular to get on this or that
side of you when they sit or walk or
ride with you, because they have one
disabled ear. Many have both ears
damaged. and what with the constant
racket of our great cities and the ca
tarrhal troubles that sweep through
the land. it is remarkable that there
are any good ears at all. Most wonder
full instrument is the human ear. 1t Is
harp and drum and telegraph and tele-
phone and whispering gallery all in
one. So delicate and wondrous is its
construction that the most difficult OF
all things to reconstruct is the auditory
apparatus. The mightiest scientists
have put their skill to its returning. and
sometimes they stop the progress OF its
decadence or remove temporary OBJ
structions. but not more than one real
ly deaf ear ont OF 100000 Is ever cured.

Blue Ball and Lewisvlle teams crossed
bats on Saturday, September l. The game
was well played all through, except in the
18TH inning, when Lewisville scored four
of their runs. At the beginning of the
seventh inning Lewisvlle refused to play
owing to little dispute that arose. The
umpire called the game 9 to 0, in favor Of
Blue Ball. This makes the second game
between the two clubs, the first game Blue
Ball shut them out by the score OF 8 to o..
The playing Of Z. Roberts and Gregg for
Blue Ball, and the fielding of Kelly, of
I.ewisville, were the features OF the game

NEWS IN BRIEF .

Farmers in this section of Cecil county
are now busy cutting corn.
Several straw stacks on the farm Of
john Bailey. near Earleville, caught fire q
few days ago and were destroyed.
A. A. Brown, sexton of the Elktcn VI.
T. Church. while attending to his duties
in church last Sunday morning, suffered a
severe attack OF vertigo, and was taken to
his home on East High street in an M
conscious condition. He soon rallied and
has fully recovered.
The new Law Library for Kent county
is now about completed Two rooms have
been thrown into one large one and it has
been newly painted and ourtained and
linoeum placed on the floor. The CON-
mittee on arranging the books has about
completed it's work and is about ready to
place the room in the hands of the Circuit
Court which will have charge Of the library.
A shirt waist man visiting in the
neighborhood of Earleville, found it quite
inconvenent to be such. When making a
flying trip to Middletown he stopped at
Manlove's hotel for dinner, but was infor-
med that before he entered the dining
room he must wear coat. The generous
proprietor kindly offered his coat, though
several sizes too large. the former gentle
man weighing II5 pounds and the latter
300 pounds, it answered every purpose.
A large number OF colored excursions
have been run to Chestertown, during the
last two or three weeks and as a result
there has been considerable drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, the negro women
being particularly offensive. The COM
missioners Of the town decided that it
would be best to not allow the eXoursionists
to land and when the boats came to the
wharf notice was served on the captains
that the landing of eXcursionists is pre-
hiblted by town ordinance.
The ease with which person upon
suicide bent, OF having more sinister
plan in mind, may obtain deadly pois0ns
in Maryland, was discussed at a recent
meeting Of the State Board of Pharmacy.
The members will probably have prepared
soon a general aud effective pharmacy law,
which all druggists admit is badly needed
There is now no law which in any way
restricts or safeguards the sale of poison.
A druggist may sell what he pleases. All
reputable pharmacists are however, very
careful ahout selling poisons. Maryland
is the only State without such law In
some states the law is very strict. The
legislation here extends only TO requiring
druggists TO qualify and become registered.
1t is hoped to have complete law, which
will soon regulate the sale Of poisons that
persons intent upon suicide will have to
choose some other means Of death.

pitched good ball, the home team only
heiug able to make six clean hits off his
delivery, and he struck out six batsmen.
The Elkton boys were very slow to pick
up ground ball and were unable to throw
to the bases with any degree of accuracy.
In the first inning Howard Johnson
scored a run for Elk ton. They again failed
to score until the sixth inning when Min
ker crossed the home plate. IN the ninth
inning Howard Johnson and Leonard
Pryor scored two more runs off scratch

was badly hurt by horse falling on him
on Saturday. The young man was driving

and injuring him internally. He is so
badly injured that small hopes are enter
tanned for his recovery.

and give the people as large a meas
ure of self-government as they were
capable of exercising.
It is all very we'll to talk about the
cost of war, to cry "militsrism" and
say that Bryan, if elected, would
withdraw the American forces from
the islands. Bryan's own declaration
is that he would withdraw the Ameri-
can forces ''as soon as a stable gov
eminent is established" and as even
the most enthusiastic office seeker
must realize that a stable government
cannot be established until Aguinaldo
is subdued, the election of Bryan
would mean no relief along this line.
On the contrary, the "protectorate"
which he talks of establishing would
require a far larger military establish
ment than that which is at present
maintained.
The United States is today pUrsu-

course marked out alike by duty and

ssWiY DID WE WANT THE PHIL
IODINE G os9

'sWHY DID WE WANT THE PHIL
IPPINES?'
A question which is frequently
raised nowadays is "what did we want
with the Philippines anyway" The
answer is that the islands were not
wanted at the outset, and what to do
with them was the most difficult ques-
ton that confronted the peace COM
missione1s. To leave them in the
hands Of the cruel Spaniards was out
of the question. To turn them over
to Aguinaldo would have meant for
the inhabitants a still worse fate and
it would also have meant the destruc-
ton of foreign property for which the
United States would have been held
responsible, and justly SO, by the ma
tons of the world. Aguinaldo, who
deliberately planned the murder Of
every American and every European
in the islands was not the man to
stable government; there
was nothing to do but take the is
ends, subdue the treacherous chief
