A very sad accident occurred last
Tuesday night at the residence of Mr..

a little 12-year-old girl, as nurse,

night about ten o'clock, and shortly
afterward the family was alarmed by
the cries of the little girl, and on GO

was on fire, dressed only in her night

Major Burns Shot BY Son,

Major j. NJ. Burns, on the retired
list of the United States army, and
the commandant of the corps of ca
diets at the University of West Vir-
ginia. Morgantown, who is spending
his summer at his cottage at Noun
tain Lake Park, was accidental
ly shot in the stomach early Sunday
morning while taking a bath. His
son, aged about 12 years, who had
slept with the major the previous
night, took hold of double barrelled
shotgun and exploded the charge
which passed through a partition,
which caused the charge to expend
its force else the major would have
been killed
The gun was in the room loaded be-
cause of his residence having been
entered by burglars on Friday night,
and the major had neglected to with
draw the loads. As it is the accident
does not amount to great deal, as
the buckshot did not penetrate the
skin. Major Burns served on Gen.
Crooks staff during the rebellion.
He was an officer in the first West
Virginia Volunteer Infantry.

Village Improvement Societies,

The ladies of Centreville have Or
ganized Town improvement Socie-
ty and will unite their efforts in beau
tifying and otherwise improving con-
ditions in the pretty metropolis of
Queen Anne. Miss Marie McKenney
has started the fund by contribu-
ton of $50 and other generous citi-
zens of Centreville doubtless will be
equally liberal. The Centreville
Record, in commenting upon the
work says editorially: "Chestertown
furnishes a striking illustration of
what may be done if our ladies will
only unite and push the movement.
Only a few years ago Chestertown
was in worse condition than Centre
vile, if such thing is possible. but
now it is one Of the prettiest towns in
the State.' Were the ladies of Cen
treville society to visit Chestertown
and see the splendid results of the
labors of our women they could but
catch an inspiration which would be
invaluable to them. Under the pro-
gressive impulse given by the ladies,
Chestertown has made improvements
during the past five years which far
outstripped those marking the quar-
ter century which preceded the years
in which the impetus given by the
ladies was felt. There is no limit to
the elevating, identifying and up
lifting influence of determined wom-
anhood. Centreville, we congratu-
late you upon the fact that the ladies
are, as in the case of Chestertown,
coming to the rescue. 1t is delight
full to think of your blushing beauty
and healthful daintiness when the
ladies dedicate you as a perfect work
from their hands. The work of your
women will not be confined to the
specific plans as outlined by the So
ciety, but your town officials and
public spirited citizens will be stirred
by an inspiration to improve and

CORKSCREW PHILOSOPHY.

Common sense is the basis of all
good law
The more honest the people are the
fewer are the laws needed.
A contentious man is the lawyers
best friend.
An honest lawyer seldom has ras-
cal for a client.
The unjust man always shrieks the
loudest for justice.
He who fears the law does well, but
he who honors the law does better.
Judge man by his lawyer and a
woman by her doctor Evil nearly
always seeks its kind.
Capital without labor is like dough
without yeast; the one may make
bread but the other makes more of it.
The greed of capital may do much
harm but it carries much good with
it. Every ship has to have sailors.
Never envy your neighbor for doing
well; turn the tables on him and do
better. Keep your ak sharp if you
want to cut wood.
Get rich-it matters not how or
where, if you do but get rich-by foul
or fair; tbs all the same, your riches
will suffice to blind the scrutiny of
inquiring eyes.
Take the world as you find it and
the rest of the people won't mind it.
If you have a swelled head better
keep to your bed. If you think the
world is all wrong it is time to sing
the swan song.
When everything is upside down it
is time enough to stand on your head.
If you have cross eyed opinion,
straighten your vision with worldly
wisdom. Adam had his eyes opened

MARYLAND DAY AT EXPOSITION.
Military Bands Played Patriotic Airs of
the Terrapin State.

INC lSrrapln State.
BUFFALO, n. Y, July 10.-It was
Maryland day at the exposition
grounds to-day. From innumerable
fiagpoles fioated the orange and black
of the old state.
Hundreds of bands played MARY
land, My Maryland" and thousands
of Maryland's sons thronged the
grounds. No better weather could
have been desired. From a cloudless
sky the sun shone, his rays being
tempered by brisk breeze from the
lake.
With the superior attractions and
the pleasant weather the exposition
entertained a much larger crowd
than usual. Maryland's official rep
resentatives were astir early. By 9
O'Clock the lobby of the Iriquois hotel
was crowded with generals, colonies,
and high privates. The morning
trains brought in a considerable
number of Marylanders and familiar
faces were seen on every hand.
Governor Smith and his staff, with
the commissioners and other promi-
nent Marylanders, were on hand
promptly at 1880 o'clock, the hour
designated for assembly.
The governors staff made brave
showing, all the members wearing
full dress. The abundance of gold
lace and the clanking of swords made
an inspiring and martial picture.
Carriages were provided for those
who took part officially in the events
OF the day, and they were driven to
the grounds, reaching there by noon.
The Temple of Music, magnifi-
cent auditorium in the centre of the
grounds, was packed when the Mary
land party arrived. Official badges
were everywhere to be seen. Hun
dreds had been distributed by Secre-
tary Forrest of the commission and
all were worn. There were also in
the auditorium hundreds of Buffalo
people and visitors from other places
who had been attracted by the
Maryland day exercises.
A military band was in attendance,
and as Governor Smith and his party
reached the stage it struck up
Maryland, Ny Maryland.
The first strains of the old song
brought the crowd to its feet, and
the cheering nearly lifted the roof.
The air was sung by hundreds.
Director General Buchanan called
the assemblage to order with few
words, introducing F. G. Latrobe as
presiding officer. The seven-times
mayor Of Baltimore received an ova-
ton. He told the audience of some
OF the things in Maryland's record
of Charles Carroll and John Eager
Howard, of Frances Scott Key and
Winfield Scott Schley.
OF these men and their work Mary
land is proud. he said, but in no
boastful spirit. Their work belongs
to the whole country. But Maryland
is country of peace, and it is inter
ested greatly in the exposition. He
hoped that the visit of the represent
atiyes of the State would make closer
the ties between Maryland and Buff
falO.

An Aged "Greenback."

The Bankers Magazine recently
printed a facsimile of a Chinese
Treasury note of the year 1867, prob
ably the Oldest piece of paper money
in existence. This note was found
last January, along with other yalua-
bles, in bronze statue of Buddha
which stood in temple within the
Enclosure of the summer palace of the
Dowager Empress of China. Italian
soldiers engaged in looting broke a
hole in the base of the figure, and the
paper money tumbled out along with
gold, silver and brass coins, lentils,
rice, rolls of prayers, etc. The note
was issued, according to the printing
on it, "by the Board of Revenue of
the Emperor Hung WI in the year
1857 and its value is stated to be
worth $3.50 taels" about $160. 1t
protested to be "redeemable in silver
or bullion
Besides being the oldest known
piece of paper money this treasury
note makes it clear that Gutenberg
was not the first user of movable type
at date over hundred years before
Gutenberg began to experiment. The
German printer was born in 1410, long
after the use of movable type in
China. 1t is asserted in fact that the
Chinese employed movable type as
early as the eleventh century. The
British Museum has Korean book
of 1887. Paper money in China dates
back to 14O B. c., or earlier. Accord
ing to Klaproth the earlier bills were
made of white stag skin and were a
foot square.

Enterprise Can Win.

1t is an encouragement to business
men of enterprise and determination
that there is no trade so settled that
a vigorous competition cannot take
it away by advertising when the
established concerns neglect the best
methods of publicity" This is the
statement of a merchant who built
up great trade from a small begin
ming by constantly increasing the
amount of his advertising.

FOXY WORK FOR GORMAN
In the Background While LieutenantS are
Eudeavoring to Secure the Legis-
lature for Him.


1t is reported that considerable mis-
sionary work of quiet nature is 60
ing on among the several Baltimore
city factions in the Democratic party
in the interest of Mr.. Arthur P. Cor
mans return to the United States
Senate
From the statement made by a
member of the last legislature, there
is an excellent prospect of getting the
factions together. This gentleman
said that Mr.. German has been lately
more interested in harvesting his
wheat on his Howard county fam
than in mending his political fences,
but that the signs were all favorable
that the former senator would have
more than majority of the Demo-
cratic legislative candidates when the
nominations were made.
The determination to postpone
these nominations until after the
date of the State convention is sim
ply to find time to clear the political
skies in Baltimore and enable the
German leaven to do its work. By
this delay the missionaries will be
able to finish their task, and the re-
suit is expected to be united support
for Mr.. German.
Those who knew Mr.. German best
were fully satisfied that he would not
make a public fight for the United
States Senate. This knowledge was
not gained by anything that Mr.. Cor
man had said, but inferred from his
natural secretive manner. When the
Friedenwald dinner afforded an OPP
portunity for a public declaration
which was let pass unheeded, these
friends nudged one another as if in
full possession of inside information.
One prominent Howard county man.
whose fealty to the former Senator is
thing of joy, has time and again
said that Mr.. German would not for
mally announce his candidacy.
What is the use of doing so?'' he
naively remarked. There is no ques-
ton about the Senator being the log
ical candidate. To come out and
make the fight against the field would
not add any to his strength, but, on
the contrary, such action might an
tagonize certain Democrats who
would otherwise fall into line and
work hard for the party.
The coming battle will be no
child's play, and every Democratic
vote is needed, In the counties the
conditions are favorable, while in the
city there promises to be required
considerable work to harmonic the
factions. l understand this work is
now going on, not with loud blare
of trumpets, but quietly, as it should.
There is no necessity at the pres
ent time of keeping the world inform
ed of what is going on in the inside.
To achieve success in politics the car
dinal principle is to find out what the
opposition is doing and keep the lat
ties guessing as to your movements.
This is German politics.
The question of how the city fac
lions can be lined up for Mr.. German
is the one uppermost in the minds of
Democrats who are not on the inside.
In addition to the uncertainty as
to the Rasin position, there is no love
between the Hayes and Morrison
forces, so that the missionary work to
be done will require more than super
fetal effort to bring about harmony.

TO FIX MASON AND DIXON'S LINE
Maryland and Pennsylvania Authorities
Have Survey Made.

Maryland and Pennsylvania Authorities
Have Survey Made.
The ancient Mason and Dixon's line
between Maryland and Pennsylvania
is being re-surYeyed and will soon be
remarked with iron posts.
The work is being done under the
direction of DR.. William b. Clark of
the Maryland Geological Bureau, and
Secretary of Internal Affairs Latta of
Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania
legislature in 1899 appropriated $1,000
Ito repair and reset the monuments
on the boundary line between this
commonwealth and the adjacent
State of Maryland on the south, and
in 1900 the Legislature of Maryland
supplied $1,000 to aid in the work.
Mason and Dixon's boundary line,
which originally was run and marked
to establish the territorial limits of
Pennsylvania and Maryland, later
became famous as the boundary be-
tween the free and .lave-holding
states of the North and South. 1t
was according to an agreement made
in 1882 to run due west from Cape
Henlopen Us miles south of the point
now known by that name) to the
middle of the peninsula of the East
ern Shore, thence northward tangent
to a circle of 12 miles radius, whose
centre was at New Castle, Del, and
then due north from the tangent
point until it reached a parallel of
latitude Is miles south of the south
ernmost part of Philadelphia From
this point the line was run due west.
Surveyors had already determined
the position of the centre of the
peninsula" the north and south line
and the tangent point when
Charles Mason and jeremiah Dixon,
noted English astronomers and ma
thematicians, arrived in Philadelphia
in 1868. From the time of their ar
rival until December, 1867, Mason
and Dixon were busy locating the
"southernmost part of Philadelphia, :"
and the northern boundary of Mary
land, which they surveyed and
marked as far as Dunkard Creek, now
in West Virginia, when they were
stopped by the Indians
Along the greater portion of the
line each mile was marked by a stone
monument, which had the letter "P"
engraved or cut on the northern side
and the letter M on the southern
side, while at each fifth mile was a
similar stone known as the crown
stone,n with the coat-of-arms of the
Penns cut on the northern face and
with those of Lord Baltimore on the
southern. These stones were brought
from England.
These monuments, which are to be
entirely replaced with cast-iron mark
ers, suffered severely from attacks of
vandals in the early days of the last
century. Rapid progress is being
made i'll the relocation of the line,
and it is expected that report will
be made to the Legislature in 1902 of
the completion of the work.
