officers do not do their duty, and general
officers turn their blind eye to what gA,s

the most difficult thing to obtain. The
dress of officers is undoubtedly expensive.
in some cases ridiculously so. There
seems to be little doubt that. even for
peace purposes, it would be possible to
devise a less costly form of custome.

Children in China.

A babe is washed on the third day
after birth. usually with hot water. A
newborn babe is sometimes rubbed over
with raw eggs and not bathed until
three months old. A woman Al years old
stated that she had not been washed
since she was a baby. On the thirteenth
day the heads are shaved. This, with
the wealthy, is time Of elaborate cere-
monies and feastings, while the poorer
class copy it as far as their means viii
allow. For q boy there Is a birthday
feast every ten years. To protect the
child from evil spirits baby is some-
times clothed like priest and decked
out with innumerable charms One queer
fancy is to attach bit of lamp-wick to
the clothing. AS boys are most desir-
able to their parents. they are supposed
to be most under the eye of evil spirits.
and a baby boy is clothed in girls clothes
and given girls name. to deceive those
spirits. Often they are treated with
harsh words and blows to assist in that
deception. This Is done in love. for the
Chinese as rule are very fond of theil
children, both boys and girls. Super.
stition, however, Is the cause OF much
cruelty. The mother is told by cruel
fortune teller that her child. usually a
girl, is inhabited by q demea. Then It
becomes the duty of the mother to beat.

foreign traders they are in duty bound
to protect their lives and property. and
if this is not done 1t Is just that redress
shall be made. But when the foreigner
forces his way where he is not wanted,
under the pretense of giving the people a

.as if the case were different.

ter being notified by said court to do so. La
ter the court revoked the letters of admins
tration and appointed P. G. Barnes, IN his

said note fell due, it is alleged, ii was not
paid and upon presentation thereof the said
John and Mary Dies both denied ever having
signed the same or even ever having known
anything about the note before.
The bill further charges that Mr.. Dick ne.
gotiated at the Homecoming Savings Bank "a
promissory note for the sum of $500, purport-
ing to be drawn to the order of William A.
Dick, his brother, and also purporting TO be
endorsed by William A. Dick r. A. T..
Dick secured the money, and after the note
came due, William A. Dick denied ever hav-
ing made or signed the same, but charges it
to be forged and fraudulent signature.

mittee, reciting the aforegoing facts and charg-
ing sharp practice.

Jury,s verdict 0uashed.

Judges Fowler and Burke, of Baltimore
county, ON Saturday passed an order sustaining
the motion to quash the verdict of the jury
Summoned by Sheriff Todd on The petition OF
FL. Clay Morrow and others to examine the
Reisterstown turnpike between Woodensburg
and the northern city limits and ascertain BY
their verdict whether the condition of the
roadbed Of the turnpike was such as 10 entitle
the company to charge toll for lis use and dis
missing the petition. The jury by its verdict
filed in the case found the road to be very
much out of repair IN a number Of places be-
tween the points named, and by another paper
filed with their verdict they recommend that
inasmuch as the company is now engaged in
macadamizing its roadbed the right to collect
toll from its patrons be abridged under the Act
of 1894.
A motion TO quash the whole proceedings
was made by the Turnpike Company, on the
ground that under its charter the company en-
ioyed certain privileges aud immunities, among
them being the right to have complaints against
the condition of the road made in a certain
manner specified in its charter, and that they
had never been notified of the proceedings.
The Judges accepted the view of the law as
contended for by the company's counsel and
sustained the motion TO quash.

Aiding the Foreigners.



An English shipbuiIder says that as long
as the present American duties on steel re-
main in force the British shipbuilders will be
able to get American steel at from "a to %
less a ton than the same steel is sold for on
this side of the Atlantic. Adherence on the
part of the American manufacturers to this
policy OF asking a high price at home and
lower price abroad will, he says, keep up the
price of ships built in this country and keep
down the price of those built in Great Britain.
There is no doubt that American shipbuild-
ers have been made TO pay excessive prices
for steel. The benefit OF the great reduction
in the cost of manufacture of that metal in
this country has not been enjoyed by men
in the same business in foreign country.
If the United States Steel Company were TO
add the building of steel and iron ships to
the industries it is to be engaged ia 1t could
turn out such ships for use in the foreigs or
coasting trade AT prices which would defy
competition. If the company were to build
ships and sell them at reasonable Inquire
Americans would buy them and use them to
carry on trade with foreign countries.
Then what is needed TO build up an Ameri-
can ocean marine and deprive Great Britain
of its supremacy on the seas is not the gut OF
subsidies but the abatement of the encourage
ment given TO British shIpbuilders by Ameri-
can manufacturers, who sell steel to them on
better terms than to American shipbuilders;
There is "A duty of 500 ton on imported
steel. What good purpose does 1t answer
when the American manufacturers andersen
British or German manufacturers IN thelr
own homes?
