Mr. Richard Hentschel was one of the
| lucky race horse men at the Timonium Fair
! last week. He won first money in four of the
best races and demonstrated the fact that he

times applied to him, seems to tit his case ex-
| actly.

4 Power"
Those fellows who lost their watches
and pocketbooks at Timonium Fair last week
] have a rather poor opinion of that form of
| amusement. But fair is not altogether an
unmixed evil. If people will learn wisdom
| from experience-and It is said that they do
valuable lessons are taught even from such
misfortunes.
| - The great heat wave that made the sum-
mer of 1900 memorable appears to have ended
| on Wednesday night last, since which time a
more endurable temperature has prevailed.

| "Old SoP' may get back at US again before the
| advent of October.

"A year or two ago Baltimore gentle
man bought pretty place near Iowson, in
tending to make it his permanent residence.
Now he talks of selling or renting it and NOV
ing back to town, simply because he cannot
keep servants in the country. The servant
problem is one that is becoming more and
more difficult of solution.
MIR. Edward J. O'Donovan, a young
farmer of Sweet Air, 10th district, over IL
miles from Baltimore hauled big load of
fine cabbage 10 the city on Tuesday and the
best he could get for it was II cents head.
Considering the labor and expense to produce
it and the long haul to market this is almost
enough to discourage the stoutest heart.
1.-The Baltimore County Water and Elec-
trio Company proposes to install the meter
system at Towson and other towns that are
supplied by it. The object is to make the pa
irons nav uniformly for the quantity of water
used by them. An additional artesian we'll
will be bored at Towson by the company and
also several near the Relay, 18th district
-Anvone who may wish to contribute
ed by the frightful hurricane that almost totally
wrecked the city of Galveston, Texas, last Sat
urday, can leave the same at THE UNION Office
and it will go through the proper channel in
Baltimore. The devastation and suffering are
great and the need of immediate help immi-
nent.
THE 125- horse power boiler intended for
use at the Beckleysville paper mill, in the 9th
district, was hauled with a ten-mule team all
the way from York to that place, distance
OF about forty miles, 1t required nearly three
days to make the journey. The Peckleysyille
Bank ana the plant will shortly be running
on full time.
- The Embroidery Guild of Trinity P. E.
Church, Long Green, is arranging to give an
entertainment, consisting of illustrated songs
and negro specialties, in Grange Hall, Towson,
Friday evening, September 2Sth, upon which
occasion there will also be sale of fancy
articles. 1t is hoped the ladies may be accor-
ded liberal patronage, the object being a
most worthy one.
MIR. William P. Cole, who has been con-
Quoting an extensive insurance agency in Tow
son, has disposed of the entire business to
Messrs. Lemuel D. Offutt, John e. Wright
and c. Frank Emmart, and will retire from
the business on the first of January next.
Messrs Offutt and Wright have been connec-
ted with the office some time, and Mr.. Emmart
is a we'll known citizen of the I'd district
MIR. Madison E. Lloyd, whose name was
mentioned in connection with the anti Talbot
Democratic club formed last week at Govans-
town, says he is in no way connected with
that organization. Several others have also
said their names were used without their
knowledge or consent, but the club was formed
and some of those whose names were men
toned as being connected with it are in dead
earnest.
>It is hoped the grand jury of Hartford
county will go slow in its investigation of the
running of the BALTIC. & Lehigh Railroad.
Since the line was broad-gauged the manage
ment has labored under many and serious diff
iculties and it should not be further embar-
raised by hasty legal proceedings. 1t is quite
safe to assume that the officials of the road are
doing the very best they can under the most
trying circumstances.
The man who went to Timonium Fair
last week with the expectation OF seeing sever
al thousand pretty girls was not disappointed.
They were out in great force and the shirtwaist
figured with prominence and variety OF color
that almost took ones breath away. And the
shirtwaist man was also there in limited num-
ber but he's such q poor, miserable soul IN
comparison with the others that it seems al
most waste of space to allude to him.
There is a good deal of typhoid fever
throughout the country and experienced ply
sicians say that this is largely caused by the
use of impure drinking water. 1t is also said
that when water in springs and wells become
unusually low it developes impurities that are
not present at other times. To purify this
water it should be boiled before using. A lit
tie attention to such matters might be the
means of saving much suffering and anxiety.
- Messrs Wise and Sappington, the con-
testing Republican Supervisors of Elections in
this county, held a meeting in Towson on
Tuesday and disposed of some routine bust
ness. They also appointed judges and clerks
for the coming election, but declined to make
the list public at this time. They adjourned
until Tuesday, September 18th, upon which
day. it is thought, the court will take up and
decide the question OF the legality of this
Board.
1.-The management of Timonium Fair is
to be congratulated upon the excellent order
that prevailed upon the grounds last week.
There was no disorder of any kind and al
though pick pockets were there in force, that
was the fault of no one as these fellows get in
their work in crowds Of all kinds, even at re-
ligious gatherings. 1t is believed that nearly
$4,000 people visited the fair during the five
days of its continuance and in such crowds
the light-fingered gentry always operate pretty
freely.
Some of the members of Troop A, de-
tachment of which returned about fortnight
ago from practice march to Capon Springs,
