Fox hunting continues to be source
of much interest to enthusiastic hunt
ers of the vulpine animal. On such
occasions every effort is made to bring
out all the available canine force posi-.

the exciting game of fox and hounds,
generally manages to outwit, to out

Over the whole of last week, with the
exception of the last two days, hung
cloudy, misty atmosphere, highly favor
able, under less cold conditions, to the
stripping or handling of tobacco, but
the fol midable forces in opposition pre-
vailed. 1t is anything but pleasant to
sit in cold barn doing that sort of
work, and to be backward in ones
stripping does not constitute a crimi-
nal otfense. The time must be coming
when this great staple product will be
greatly abbreviated. The tobacco crop
for many years-pror to late discov-
cries of immense treasures of gold and
Il few other things-was, from re-
numerating point of view, almost
worthless. We realized somewhat fair
prices tor our tobacco and other crops
last year and came out little ahead OF
the party. T. f. c.

Admits Insolvency.

The application Of John D. Allen,
of Pennsylvania, and the John D.
Allen Company for the appointment
of a Maryland receiver for the Chesa-
peake Beach Improvement Company
came up for hearing at Hyattsville on
Saturday before Chief Justice John P.
Briscoe, of the Circuit Court for Cal
vert county. The defendant company
filed plea denying the courts juris-
diction. The court heard arguments
on the plea, but did not pass upon it.
Subsequently independent applica-
tions were filed by the Chesapeake
Beach Railway Company and the
Chesapeake Beach Hotel Company
alleging the insolvency of the Chesa-
peake Beach Improvement Company
and asking that Maryland receiver
be appointed. With the applications
was filed an answer by the defendant
company admitting its insolvency and
setting forth that on or about January
l4th. in proceedings instituted in New
Jersey, the company was declared to
be insolvent, and one Richard L. Miller
was appointed as receiver, and has
since qualified as such in the State OF
New Jersey. By agreement, the cases
of the railway and hotel companies
were consolidated and consent was
given that receiver should be ap.
pointed at once. The court now has
the case under consideration.

Model ltOad-Making.

representative George A. Pearre
has written 10 the Allegany County
Commissioners stating that he believes
he can arrange through h Agricultu.
raj Department to send one of its
agents to Allegany county to instruct
the people in model roadmaking and
to superintend the making Of sample
piece of road, say of a quarter of a
mile to mile in length. The expense
of providing labor and material is
borne by the county, but the United
States Government sends its men and
pays their expenses. Colonel Pearre
is anxious that the board take some ac-
ton in this direction and communicate
with him, in order that he may have a
definite basis upon which to work at
the Department Of Agriculture. The
division Of road engineers attached to
the Agricultural Department is new
and its purpose is to ascertain the best
methods of roadmaking in the various
States. Colonel Pearre is anxious
that the people Of Allegany county
have the benefit of the scientific knowl-
edge which the experts of the Agri-
cultural Department possess.

There is more Catarrh in this sec.

eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura
ble. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it lncurable. Science
has proven catarrh to he constitu
tional disease, and, therefore, requires
constitution treatment. Halls Catarrh

Tax on Mortgages.

Chief Judge A. Hunter Boyd has
filed decision holdin! the mortgage
tax law of 1896 constitutional. The
opinion is in the case against tue Mu
tual Insurance Company OF Washing
ton County, which holds a long list OF
mortgages, suel, with Il score of other
corporations ami individual mortgage
holders, 10y the Washington County
Commissioners for the mortgage tax,
which they refused to pay. The only
question raised in this case was the
constiLutionality of the act.
The Court cites the fact that the
Court of Appeals had already express
el the opinion that the law was con-
stitutional in the case of Faust VS..
B Hiding a Jciation, and recently in
the Hartford county case. AS to the
reasonableness of the tax Jud &c Boyd
says it is less than one-half per cent.
of the par value of per cent. mort
gage and cannot be considered unrea-
sonable. There is no county in Mary
land where the tax is as low as &c
cents on the 5000, and the State tax
has not been as low as II cents for
years, if ever, on most assessable prop
erty. If mortgages could be entirely
exempted there would seem no valid
excuse why the Legislature could not
exempt them in part, provided all Of
tue same class he uniformly taxed. II
the taxation be less than that of most
property mortgage holders can hardly
complain.
The propriety Of taxing mortgages
at all is questioned by many, and il
may he that this tax was compro
mise made by the Legislature. The
object was doubtless to add to the rev
enues from class Of property moi
paying taxes, but as the effect of sucl
taxation might he to drive capital GU
of the State the Legislature may have
thought wise to impose light ta1
and make the amount uniform; so a.
not to discriminate against those coun
ties where the taxes are most burden
some.
