Mr. Thomas H. Bond, of Hollywood,
St. Mary's county, has addressed the
following article to the editors of the
st. .N1y's Beacon:
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-Since the APP
pointment of Tobacco Inspectors,
in March last by the Executive, many
rumors, unjust to the Governor and
hurtful to the best interest of the Grow
ers of Tobacco, have obtained circula-
ton in these Southern counties. be-
lieve much misapprehension prevails as
to the actions and intentions of the
Governor and that amongst our tobac-
co growers a lamentable lack of appre-
citation of the real value Of our inspcc-
ton system exists, and | believe it is
due to this misapprehension and lack
Conformation that certain disappointed
or interested parties have been able to
set on foot 4 movement to divert the
OoDiSCo Illuc HUN JIG SldGC 1IouSeo
to the Baltimore & Ohio Warehouses
at Locust Point. In order therefore
that those of our planters who may
elect to send their tobacco to Locust
Point may do so with full knowledge
OF the probable consequences, ask
space in your columns to set this mat
ter more clearly before them.
First, | will state that being in Bal
tmore the past week when the Demo
cratic Central Committee met, | took
the opportunity to make inquiry
amongst the Governors nearest friends
as to his intentions relative to the
Warehouses. | am satisfied that all
the stories as to the Governor Bur
pose to distribute IL large part Of the
Warehouse patronage to the Eastern
Shore and Upper Maryland counties
is entirely without foundation. His
request to his appontees in the Ware
houses, to hold certain positions open,
was made, it is claimed, in the interest
of iair division of the patronage in
the five tobacco growing counties. 1t
must be remembered that there are
only three Warehouses and unless tie
Governor used his influence to protect
the counties without warehouses they
would be left out IN the cold, for no In
spector wonld set aside the demands of
his own people whatever the claims OF
sister county might be. | learned
from inquiries at the Warehouses that
only four clcrkships remain untitled
and was told that it is the wish of the
Governor that a part, at least. of these
and some scrcwmcn places be given to
Charles as soon rs the warning factions
in that county can be induced to adj ust
their differences and unite in recon-
mending proper parties to fill them
With one single exception the appoint
ments i'm the Warehouses have been
made from the tobacco growing sec
tions. In Mr.. Bowie's House Fred,r-
lex county holds clerkship. How
she got it don't know, but the expla-
nation given me was some how this
way. Frederick, like her sisters in

ADDRESS TO MEDICAL ASSO-
CATION.

The following address was read 10y
DR.. j. l.. Warning, of Clinton, this
county, at meeting of the Prince
Georges County Medical Association
held in this town on Tuesday, May lst:
GENTLEMEN OF THE ASSOCIATIONS
At meeting held in Upper Marlboro j.,
in the Farmers Hotel, | advocated
treating hereditary diseases, during
CESSATION, and gave clinical examples
of its practica5lity from cases in my
charge who are at this time healthy
children.
In the cases cited, | referred to three
other children of the same parents who
had died from what | considered NAL
nutrition, although there had been no
active trouble in either parent so far as
observed.
l am prepared to go step further
i'm my opinion, and in my advocacy of
measures which not only add viror t.
the unborn, but which will more cash,
and promptly better the conditions OF
foetal life, by raising the standard of
the unmarried to proper vital condi-
tions. Vital statistics show the enor-
nous waste Of life from hereditary dis
eases, chiefly consumption, and the use
less expenditure of public and private
funds for the treatment of that and
other diseased conditions, through hos
pitfalls, asylums and organized charities
throughout the country. Are our
hands stayed in the matter of proven
ton! or, are We to sit idly and watch the
progress of these especial diseases?
If the National, State and county
corporations are to bear the burden as
shown in our public institutions for
these diseases, is it not time that these
same corporate powers should take
some steps to stop this waste Of life and
treasure, 10y almost sumptuary regula-
tions? There is an old aNiCm, probably
as old as mankind, that san ounce of
prevention is worth pound OF cure"
and it is high time that we should act
upon the accumulated wisdom of ages.
The first step therefore would be for
the State Legislatures to enact u law
setting apart at least twenty per
cent. of funds spent in above-named in
situations, or a separate amount equal
to that, to be used in curative and pre-
ventive measures.
The channel through which these
sums should be paid, and to whom paid,
should be medical commission in each
county, appointed by the Medical AS
ISOLATION of the county, to which all
cases are to be referred 10y the practi-
TONERS of said county in good standing.
Said commission should receive 4 small
sum to cover travelling expenses, and
loss of time while serving the public.
We all know the absolute necessity for
such action on our part, and that the
movement should originate through
and by us, who have been set apart as
guardians of public safety, and into
whose hands are placed the Lives, for
tunes, and sacred honors," of those
among whom we dwell.
How much better it would be to have

ton specially fraught with danger. Let
one typical illustration Of this suffice
A young man of marked cancerous
proclivity married woman whose
parents had both died from pulmonary
consumption. This married couple
had family Of five children, all Of
whom grew up to adolescence, sus-
tanning at their best but delicate and
feeble existences. The first of the
children died from disease allied to
cancer, called lupus; the second of pull
monary consumption the third of tu-
bercular deposit in the brain and epilep-
tiform commissions; the fourth of tu-
bercular brain disease, and diabetes,
and the fifth, at thirty-six years of age,
from cancer. The parents survived
three Of the Children The father dy-
ing with cancerouS disease Of liver,
and the mother from heart disease and
bronchitis. The inter-marriage Of
rheumatics with consumptions is pro-
ductive of maladies in which the bony
framework Of the bodies is readily i'm
plicated, as hip joint disease. Also
hyred caphalic children are frequently
born of this combination. In the pres
ent hurry and scurry of life, what are
the considerations of marriage
Wealth, relatives, age religion and race.
But who considers hereditary health :?
and who are less studied than the I'M
born, but they are not as much con-
sidered as the cattle in the farm yard.
This is serious and vital question. A
question of ''the survival of the fittest,"
a question which in the future will APP
peal more strongly as the world be-
comes populated, and the burdens will
press so heavily that mankind in self
defence will take summary methods
for its relief, without regard to the hui
man side of the question; am afraid.

In the spring the birds are singing
AS they build their summer home,
Blades of grass and buds are springing,
Ger the mead the cattle roam
In the spring your blood is freight,d
With the germs that cause disease,
Humors, boils, are designated
Signals warning you of these.
In the spring that tired feeling
Makes you every duty shirk,-
Makes you feel like begging, stealing,
Rather than engage in work.
But there's something known that will a
Man to health and vigor lead.
You will find Hoods Sarsaparilla
Just exactly what you need.

THE NOTTINGHAM.

THE WORKINGMAN.
He lays his hand upon the stubborn soil
And, Lo! a mighty miracle is done;
1t CLOVIS, responsive to his touch of toll
Fruitful and fair beneath the golden sun.
At his behest the prairie is transformed;
lie digs the desert and it disappear;
Before his pow the wilderness is stOrmed,
And leagues of corn lift up their splendid spears
Amid his sheaves he stands happy man,
Nor seeks to solve the things beyond his ken;
Content with the All. wise. Eternal plan
OF HIM who shapes the destinies of men.
The SIX V that bends above him shows no stars
At noon; and yet he knows the Power Divine
That shaped the Pleiades and fashioned Mars,
In their appointed time will bid them shine.
His hearthstone is the altar, he the priest
OF homes sweet sanctuary, day by day,
In jOy or sorrow, indulgence or feast,
Where love unsullied keeps its gentle sway.
No narrowing envy occupies his breast,
No schemes of avarice distress his mind;
By Heavens sent peace his simple life is blest,
And in his tasks he besses all mankind.
His labor brings the harvest to the plain.
And through his brave exertions millions live;
He works the miracle that grows the grain
And all the crops that pregnant acres give.
To him the crowded city looks for food;
From him gaunt famine fees and squalor hides;
His energies sustain the multitude
And where his blessings fall pale want subsidies.
For him the sun and stars give forth their light;
For him the restless ocean GIBBS and flows;
For him the radiant day, the peaceful night
And all things beautiful their charms disclose.
He builds the mighty ship whose progress spurns
The roaring tempest on the trackess sea;
His strenuous life the wheels of commerce turns
And cleaves wider space for Liberty.
Oh! wonder-wor king toll! Gods gift to man,
What blessings follow where thou art applied
In strict accordance with the Masters plan,
And what disasters where thou art denied.
God bless the honest toiler everywhere,
In mill and mine, in factory and field!
His lfes the antidote for dumb despair,
His sturdy arm the Nations surest shield.
And may God keep the toiler free and brave,
From petty tyranny Of clique or clan
That seeks to dwarf his soul and to enslave
The free born spirit of the Work ng Mani

location on the same claim, has been
given by the courts Quasi title in
cases where another party had located
upon the claim subsequent to the re-
sumption of work by the original
locator. The most recent decision on
that question that we call to mind was
by Judge Hallett of Colorado. He de.
tided case involving that principle in
favor of the original locator. He held
that the second locator acquired no
rights by filing on the claim after the
first claimant had commenced work;
that any rights Jumper might
have would begin only with the first
stroke of his pick, and could not be
based upon any alleged neglect or
lapse OF the previous locator, provided
that such previous locator had resum-
ed work before the jumper had made
his location. Judge Hallett's decision
has not been reversed by any higher
court. His decision in effect is that
the annual assessment work required
by law is not for the purpose of keep
ing alive the title to the claim, but to
prevent the title from collapse; that it
made no difference whether the annual
| work in question was done or not, so
long as the first locator had asserted
his rights in the following year before
any attempt had been made to relocate
the claim. That is, il a man did not
do the required amount of work up to
a certain time his claim lapsed; but if
however, he begun work on the claim
during the following year, before an
other locator had interviewed, he re-
established his rights, his location
then being practically an original loca,
ton, and no other locator could claim
title by relating back any lapse OF
which the first locator had not taken
advantage in time. The action of the
original locator in such cases is risky
and he Is liable to have trouble. IL he
fail to perform the necessary assess.
ment work his claim is jumpablt
under the law, and it were better tc
take no such chances as those taken in
the case in question. The matter il

inquiries on the subject-M. & S

Profit in Mining.

A San Francisco paper, discussing
the profits In mining, as compared
with the returns from railroad and in
dustrial stock, says:
"The fact that incorporated mining
companies in the country paid
4l,OOO,bJvs in dividends during the first
half of this calendar year will attract
considerable attention in the east,
where investors will contrast such
showing with the Improbable l5J,00o
miles of railroad, with over 1000 100
COOS liabilities.l is most favorable show
ing and will 40 far toward substantial
ing the claim that the mining industry,
compared with other industries, has
paid more dividends than any other.
"In the ,00J,u00s are only announ-
ced dividends of incorporated COM
panies. That aggregate falls far short
of the total, for there are many com
panies profitably engaged in mining
who make no announcement. This is
largely due to the old fear in all COM
petitive industries that some competi.
tor would find out how profitable the
business was, and so hurt him who
proclaimed bis prosperity by cutting
into his profits.
Such reticence is survival of form
er fear in that regard, fear that
should be groundless in the one indus
try of all others that has least to dread
from competition, and that depends
for its progress largely upon the in
crease of the number devoting

A Very Serious Question.

Rolls, mullins, biscuits, cake, etc, now
generally made by the aid of baking
powder, enter so largely into our daily
food that their debasement by the intro.
duction of injurious substances is a
matter Of serious concern to the
public health. What baking powder
shall we use to protect ourselves
against the dangers from alum, and to
insure pure, wholesome and nutritious
food, is question, of vital Importance
for consideration in every household.
1t is a fact that some of the brands
of baking powder sold from many
grocery stores are made from poison
Gus burnt alum. There are no marks
to designate them, and grocer and
purchaser are unaware of their danger
Gus character.
Many have suffered from digestive
disorders arising from food made with
alum baking powders. 1t is likewise
believed by physicians that to the
absorption of alum into the blood are
many of these obscure nervous diseases
from which people suffer.
A pure grape cream of tartar powder
is the only kind that can be relied
upon. and while it costs little more,
it is better to pay the difference than
to use a.um powders which may ruin
your health.
The family expenses cannot be re-
ducei in this way. Doctors bills cost
more than the little saving that can
possibly be made by purchasing the
cheap, adultered brands.-Journal of
