NOTES FROM LAUREL.
Board of Trade Takes Possession of
It's New Quarters.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAUREL, Md, December 2S 1901.
The Laurel board of trade held its first
meeting last night in the new rooms re-
Gently acquired by the organization. There
was a good attendance of citizens at this
meeting who have the best interests of the
town at heart. Much business relating to
the town was transacted and the meeting
was declared to be one of the best yet held
by the organization.
Some members having been apprised that
a plan was on foot to erect fence around
the high school premises, entered vigor-
Gus protest against such action being taken.
motion was carried to the effect that the
advisory board of the high school be noti-
fed of the board of trades action, and that
the influence Of the advisory board be ex-
erted with the school commissioners of the
county to prevent the erection of the pro-
posed fence. Instead of applying any
money to that end, it was proposed that it
be applied to beautifying the grounds.
A bill has been prepared by the committee
on legislation, which will be presented to
the legislature. which provides that author
ity be given the mayor and town council to
exempt from taxation, for a period of not
less than five years, the property of manu-
facturers locating here.
A change in the terms of the mayor and
members of the town council was the OBJ
ject of a motion by one of the members Of
the board, the change to take effect after
the municipal election in 1903. The motion
provided that the term of the mayor be
changed from the present one-year term
to two-year occupancy of that office In
the case of the town council 1t was desired
that all the members serve two years, the
present length of service of the representa-
tives of the three wards while the council
men, -at-large serve only one year.
Prof. F. H. Knowlton read very inter-
esting paper on the means of beautifying
the town. Allusions were made to towns of
the size of Laurel, both in this country and
in Europe, which were striking examples of
what could be accomplished when the mat
ter was taken hold Of in the right spirit
Professor Knowlton is a warm advocate of
shade trees for towns and cities.
Arrangements will be made for q fitting
celebration Of the first anniversary Of the
board Of trade.
A petition is being circulated for the pur-
pose of getting signatures to protest against
the proposed building of switch from the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks to oc-
cupy Carroll avenue far as the electric
light plant. The proposed switch will, it
Is claimed by those having the petition In
charge, bisect most attractive section of
the town, and it is claimed will prove itself
nuisance to the town. 1t was first con-
templated to run this track to the electric
plant for the purpose Of saving in the cost
Of transshipping the coal to the latter point.

SAVED HIS FACE

The Chinese passion for saving
face" or prestige, displays itself anew
in the trick turned by Ii Hung Chang
in the drafting Of the protocol which
forms the definite basis of China's con-
cessions to civilization. That document,
ii now appears, contains no reference
to the pledge to raze the forts on the
sea coast, upon which the powers, with
some exceptions, have insisted from
the outset. When the time came to
put the agreement into writing for final
signature the aeed diplomat made a
strong appeal for the omission of this
item on the ground that as he built the
forts 1t would be in the last degree
disgraceful and dangerous for him to
sign an agreement for their destruc-
ton. He gave assurances that the
forts would be destroyed by the uov-
eminent as a matter of military neces-
sity, even though they were not men
toned in the protocol.
So the record has been written. Ii
Hung Chang scores an apparent VIC
tory over the powers in his attitude
toward his own people. He is doubt
less today smiling behind his hand and
winking meaningy at his mandarins
and pointing to the forts at Taku as
evidence Of his adroitness. His face"
has been saved, even though he has
been compelled to agree to conditions
in the last degree humiliating to the
Chinese government in other respects.

arILL A nANaER.

The mortuary report for last month
shows that there were 10 deaths from
tuberculosis. Last year i'm the same
month there were ~ deaths from this
cause but August two years ago there
were only deaths from this cause.
The moment however that one begins
20 group 10y years the steady advance
of tuberculosis is easily seen. The
number of deaths from tuberculosis in
1888 exceeded those In 1897 in 1899 there
was excess over 1898, and in 1900 a very
great excess over 80. The results from
this cause in 1901 will show sun
greater advance, as far as can now be
diagnosed.
There can be very little doubt that
we are having tuberculosis imported
into the Islands, besides breeding it
very carefully ourselves There is
every reason why this should be so.
Physicians stin shirk the responsibility
Of facing tuberculous cases, by advising
the patient TO go to a milder climate
and accordingly the unfortunate is
shipped off somewhere to die.
The Hawaiian Islands have become
quite a favorite spot for such ship
ments. and as our reputation is grow
ing we may expect many more, in spite
of whatever bars we put up. Southern
California which was considered
splendid climate for tuberculosis, finds
today that the disease has settled upon
her smiling plains and valleys, and
that there will have to be a big fight
TO eradicate the disease. Colorado has
had similar experience.
Colorado was exploited as having a
climate that was practically a certain
cure for consumptives, and conse-
quently the tuberculous army moved
upon Colorado and was welcomed as
bringing an increase of business. 1t
did not bring the hoped for increase of
business save to the doctors. the drug
gists and the undertakers, and it has
established the disease so firmly that
the deaths from tuberculosis among
the native born Coloradans have in
five years increased from 40 annually
to 979 annually.
With such lessons before us we ought
to understand the danger before us,
while there is yet time.

The necessity VI public play grounds
iu oll cities be- now generally recoenia
.ed ln many places the recognition has
come ioo late and thc rrounds cannot
he obtained in suitable locations. but
they are obtained and means of tran-
sit are supplied. with us grounds are
|stul obtaipablo, but become harder to
obtain every day Because the move
has been made upon the Kauluwela
and Bishop Estate land. there b. no
reason why the Aala land should be
/ lost sight OF for a similar purpose. The
kauluwela and Bishop Estate lands
are only leasehold. but the Aala land Is
I'm perpetuity. while It may be much
more easy TO put the former into shape,
suitable for the purposes Of the Boys
Brigade IL should be the aim OF the
public to have the public property put
in order, for that will be permanent.
The subject is a live one, II some
times gets lost sight of In the heat Of
political and commercial movements,
but 1t ever and anon comes up with
renewed force, and such an organiza-
ton as the Boys Brigade keeps IT well
before us. Fairgrounds and Recreation
grounds are a city necessity, not a
mere luxury.

Andy Brown will be counting him
self amonT the righteous whose prayer
availeth much Tuesday he reported
himself as praying for rain, and last
night there were some fine showers in
the Valley, which must have helped
the reservoirs. By the way if water
is to be economical why not adopt the
system employed in many cities Of the
mainland. Instead of taking water di-
rect from the main, each house has a
tank which is filled at a certain hour.
If the contents of the tank should be
wasted that is the fault of the owner.
He cannot waste more than his own
supply. The trouble here is that some
people are careful in time of water
famine and others are not, and the
careful people only sacrifice themselves
and their comfort to supply the excess
of those who are careless and wasteful.

PUBLIC PLAY GROUNDS.

The work done by those who hav,
interested themselves in the boys bri
gade is certainly most praise worthy
II is a step in the direction of elevat.
tn' the hoQdlum and as a little leaver
deaveneth the whole lump, so the effect
of these boys who become accustomed
to good Influences is felt by boys who
are not open to such influences direct
ly. 1t is one Of the factors in the prob
lem which we as citizens of a growing
city ever have before us.
One Of the most helpful agents tow
ards the regeneration of the hoodlum
will be the public play ground For
years many of those who gave the sub
Ject careful thought, hoped to see a
public play ground established at Aala.
The matter was brought up in the
Legislature, and "a reservation of the
land was made. There were two re-
serVations made by the act. one at Aala
TO be called River Park" and the
other at Makiki, to be called "Maklki
Park"
the second SECTION of the Act read
THE Minister of the Interior and his
successors in office are hereby author
lied and directed to convert all the
property named into Free and Public
Recreation Grounds and to maintain
the same as such for the use and bene-
fit of the public"
For some reason which could never
be fathomed,. the then Minister of In
terror and the. then Superintendent of
Public Works were thoroughly averse to
the Aala land being turned over to the
public for the purposes named. The
place has remained a quarry for top
dressing for the roads, dumping
ground for rubbish and a disgrace to
the city. Few people seem to know
that it is a public reservation, and
fewer still seem to care.
Had work been commenced upon this
place three years ago. it would have
now been an ornament to that portion
of the city. There was at that time
an appropriation for the Commence
ment of the work, and private parties
had collected quite, fund to supple
AASH' INT PhniiCA appropriation. A COM
mittee of citizens was ready to under
take the planting and the cultivation.
But the Interior Office would not move
and Aala stands as a monument t. the
power of inertia.
AS Aala was unavailable or could not
be got at, the leaders of the Boys Bril-
gade looked round for some other
places. By interesting the Bishop Es-
tate and the Department of Education
In the movement, a piece of land has
been obtained which will prove an al
most ideal play Pround. A consider
able amount of work will have to be
done, in order to fit the land for the
purpose for which it is destined bur
the energy which has overcome so much
IN the Inception of the Boys Brigade
will overcome this.
The land lies between the Kauluwela
school and Liliha street. 1t was for
years a reedy swamp, then it was put
into rice, and now, after having been
suitably leveled 1t viii afford nice
lawns, and fine baseball grounds. Once
the project gets under way 1t will merit
and obtain liberal support.

Till July American money has been
used in Samoa. On the first of that
month German money became legal
tender, and the rate of exchange for
gold was fixed by Government procla-
nation at 2O.42 marks for Ell sterling
and 2O.95 marks for So. The silver
mark, shilling and quarter are all given
the same relative value. There has
been trouble over this, for the mark,
according to the United States treasury
valuation is worth 1913 cents, the shill-
ing 24.SS, and the quarter of course rs
cents. There is a difference therefore
of very nearly five cents on the dollar,
to be exact 4.8 cents. There is very
naturally a kick amongst the mer-
chants.
