M.ryIand Legislature Kills Separate Gar
Measure-FirginIa Wrestling with
Losing Effort.

Annapolis, Md. Specisl-The Sepa'
rate Car Law, better Known as tne
elm Grow" Car Law was reported
from the Committee on Corporations
favorably last week. Notwithstanding
the efforts of iis author. Mr.. Giles OF
Somerset County, 1t was duly killed,
and that beyond resurrection this ses-
sion. Mr. a. Lincoln Dryden, OF the
same county. put the finishing touches
upon it when he moved to indefinitely
nosspone. and when that motion was
passed, to lay the bill On the table.
Thus ended the first ;attempt to bring
southern methods into Maryland. The
result is regarded as a great triumph
for the moral and religious forces OF
the state, independent OF politics.
Richmond, Va, Specisl-The Conn
mittee on Roads of the legislature OF
Virginia now has under consideration
q bill offered by Mr.. Cation, of Alex
anuria providing for "Jim Crow" street
cars in this state. The measure has
aroused the entire street car Interests OF
the common wealth aid every surface
line is represented. The motormen and
G nductors have forwarded long Pc
titions against the measure, and the
strongest possible language In con-
demnation of ,he proposition has been
used. The investigating committee 1s
sgsil ct the proposed law and regard 1t
as lmprsctlcablt. Tne strongest oppo-
sItion comes from the white unions, the
leaders of " hicn lear that sepaI ate cars
will mean cOlored mOtCrmen and con-
ductors for coIOred cars, thus cutting
tnat many whiIe employees out OF
work. Recently information comes that
the matter has been consigned to

has thus been reDuked In TWO states.

THE TURQUOISE.

The turquoise. the birthstone for De-
cember, signifies prosperity.
The turquoise was n familiar and ia
vorlte gem among the ancient Mexi-
cans and Indians OF the west.
The turquoise fades when It's owner
Is III, and dies when the wearer Is at
tackled by an lncurable malady-so they
say.
The Germans claim that by it's vary
ing shades the turquoise turns telltale
on the caprices and moods of its
wearer.
Shakespeare gives these words to
Shylock: "IIe would not have lost his
turquoise ring for whole wilderness
of monkeys
The turquoise derives It's name from
word meaning Turkish and is so
called because the first turquolses were
found In Turkey.
If your birthday comes in December
and you wear a turquoise, you need
never be afraid OF falling off high
place. one of the powers OF the azure
hued gem Is to preserve its wearer
from this catastrophe.
1t is also said that It has the power
OF protecting its wearer against con-
taglon. A turquoise would certainly
be an ornamental substitute for yacci-
nation. Its efficiency would probably
depend upon the faith" Of the wearer.
