ANOTHER BIG FIRE.

ANOTHER BIG FIRE.
 On Thursday afternoon there was an explosion of chemicals in the nov city shop, West Side. The shop was formerly known as the Capewell mills. In a very short time both factories were in flames, and in twenty minutes they were both in ashes. Although the factory was so near the water, nothing could be done to stop the fire. The fire bell rang, and the company turned out very promptly. They succeeded in saving the house occupied by Frank Bradley, and the bridge, which took fire several times. But there being no public water, farther over the river, of course there was no force to operate the hose cart.

THEIR SEATS ON CHANGE.
\ baltimore Attorneys Argument
Against If

BALTIMORE. June 21-The case of
Derrick Fahnestock. who was required BY
the Appeal Tax Court TO show cause why
his seat on the Baltimore Stock Exchange
should not be assessed and taxed as per
sonaI property came up before the court
yesterday.
MI EahneStOck was represented by W
Burns TrundIe. who filed Mr. Fahne-
stocks answer and brief containing au-
thOrities against the position taken by
the court
Mr. Trundle argued that the Baltimore
Stock Exchange was a voluntary. unin-
corporated association, having for its OBJ
ject the afording to its members of ia
cilities fOT the transaction of business as
brokers and dealers in securities. such as
stocks and bonds, and the rnaintena nee of
TectItudc and honorable dealing among its
members and a gratuity TO the families
Of deceased members. He stated that the
exchange does not declare dividends and
the right TO membership is an Intangible
and personal privilege, clogged with
restrictions and is not the subject of a
judicial sale He claimed that no court
in the State could sell one Of these seats
to pay taxes, as the seat is a personal
privilege not taxable under the laws Of
the State OF Maryland
Mr. Truudje also submitted with his
brief copy Of the bylaws and rules OF

tee and the committee on administration.

American InteIIectuaIity.

President SchuTman's statement that
America is Intellectually weak. will
hardly receive universal acceptance
in this country. Apparently his opinion
is based upon the circumstance that
We have never produced a Shakespeare
or Darwin. While this is literally
true. 1t falls a long way short of sus-
tanning the President Of Cornell in his
conclusion.
The intellectually of a great people IS
to be determined from the general aver
age, and not solely by reference to a
few exceptional minds. Shakespeare
and Darwin concentrated all their men
tai powers, the one upon literature and
the other upon natural science Both
were Consplcuously successful. and they
undoubtedly possessed great creative
minds. But in any other fields of intel
lectual endeavor both might have been
failures.
In all new countries the best and
Strongest thought is directed, to a great
extent. along commercial industrial,
and professional lines Surely it will
not be claimed that in the vast field
of our material development Amer
leans have shown any lack Of mental
energy and acumeu. It requires intel
Iect Of Q high order TO invent a complex
machine. to devise and carry out grand
schemes Of national Improvement. In
the United states the opportunities for
money-making have been SO numerous
that comparatively few people have
cared 10 take UP literature, art, and
science Some have done 50 and have
attained high rank in their respective
callings- But the fact remains that.
speaking generally, the best American
intelIects have sought other fields. It
has taken England Two thousand years
TO produce one Shakespeare. and there
IS no telling what we may DO when our
people get over their EurIy-burIy rush
for money and settle down to a pro-
found consideration Of those things
which bring the higher intellectual fac

National Craftsmanship of the party.
He viii even do for the Senate. but the

this Republicans are both inconsistent
and unjust. They are entirely willing

This IS the weak point in the Nick is

faction sees nothing wrong in the meth

methods in his home city for his own
advancement their sense Of propriety is
deeply wounded They do not want

They ought to be able TO see that 50
long as the party accepts the fruits Of
Hanna's methods it is no better than he
is, and there is no reason why their
consciences should be troubled when his
name is mentioned for the Presidential
nomination
But the plain truth is that the McKis-
sonites do not like Hanna and he does
not like them. Harmony at Cleveland
does not change this fact, and there IS
still room for fireworks and fun among
the Republicans of the Buckeye State.

My bOOtmaker recently showed me the
