They Couldn't "Down" Him.-The spe-
cial correspondent of the Baltimore News who
accompanied the Marylanders to the Charles
ton Exposition, made allusion to well known
citizen of Baltimore county-a guest of the
Governors party-in the following bit of
pleasantly:
After the trip had fairly begun and the pas
sengers had divided themselves into groups,
where matters of mutual interest were being
discussed, some of the members of the last and
of the former legislative bodies were taken to
task severely for their views on matters per-
tanning to the welfare of the State. Mr. Charles
"A. Councilman renewed his argument in be-
half of the Marylan Agricultural College, and,
having cornered Speaker Mitchell and Gen. f.
G. Latrobe, proceeded to fay them for their
actions when they served together in elegis-
latve session of 1900 on the Ways and Means
Committee. In a good-natured way he ex-
pressed views relative to corporations and the
treatment accorded the farming community
by the Annapolis lawmakers. When Rich
mond was reached Mr.. Councilman's attention
was diverted for an instant by the recollection
that four of his fingers had been severely
burned when the city was destroyed. He re-
turned to the attack, however, with renewed
vigor."
MR.. COUNCILMAN AND THE JULEP.
The same correspondent, writing from Char
lesion under date of April 3d. says IAN in
cident of the Maryland Day celebration not on
the official programme caused those most in
terested much embarrassment. Mr.. Charles
A. Councilman prides himself on his ability
to make mint julep. The people of Charles
ton,' said Mr.. Councilman, do not know what
a mint iulep tastes like. l will show them.
Mint has been ordered, and when they have
once tasted, the secret of the good things of
life will to them be a revelation While the
Governor was receiving in the Maryland
Building Mr.. Councilman sought the decanter
and aromatic mint. Hardly had he opened
the parcel supposed to be mint than consterna-
ton was apparent. 1t was catnip. The Char
lestonian from whom it was ordered evidently
was not familiar with mint julep. What Mr..
Councilman said has not been repeated"
Plain Talk From Judge Revell.-Judge
Revell in his charge to the Anne Arundel
grand jury on Monday last, gave them very
plain talk on the violations of law that are
said to be constantly in progress at Brooklyn,
lust over the Patapsco from Baltimore county.
He said in part
II regret to say that the results of our eff
forts to suppress lawlessness have not been in
proportion to the gravity and frequency of
class of crimes which have disgraced our COM
munity and brought into contempt the officers
of the law. The last grand jury especially in.
vestigated the notorious places where viola
tions of law in the 9th district of this county
we're said to exist and reported to the court
that 1T was bound TO believe that these places
had active police protection What humili-
alton What a disgrace! To this l invite
YOUR attention, and believe that one honest,
firm, fearless officer whom filthy lucre could
not corrupt, could break up these despicable
haunts and drive the keepers thereof from the
county. The police force of Baltimore have
been asked to help us, but has no power so to
do 1t was a great humiliation to ask aid from
any foreign power-a confession of weakness.
The press in the past has come to our aid, was
powerful ally, and by a circulation of their
moral forces and the evil was for time abated,
but has been renewed with wanton arrogance
and increased vigor. Why do not the good
people of Anne Arundel county strain every
nerve to exterminate this cancerous growth
and the people of the 9Th district demand of
the proper officers a correction of these abuses
and that they drive out these arrogant inter-
lopers and lawless gangs"
Another Barn Fire.-The large frame
barn on the farm of ex-Sherif William H.
Todd, on the Pott Spring road, in the 9Th dis
