The Legislature Closes.

The Maryland Legislature closed its
session early Tuesday morning and what
was accomplished by that body in the
way of important legislation is far over
balanced by that left unsettled or allowed
to go by default. What the people got
was little, while the corporations had but
to push their claims TO get almost any
thing asked for.
The democrats had majority in both
houses and will have to shoulder the re-
sponsibility of the shortcomings of the
session. In the House Mr.. Straus and
his combination wrested the control from
the ring" democrats and passed such
legislation as met with the approval of
the combine. The session was weeks old
before much real work was done, nearly
half of the time being wasted in petty
chickering's and adjournments, and all that
was accomplished during the entire ses-
sion could have been done in half the
number of days allotted by law to the
General Assembly.
The appropriation for the session made
by the last Legislature was SIPS, 900, and
one of the last bills to be introduced and
passed was deficiency bill of $40, 900 for
expenses of the session, bringing the cost
of the Legislature just closed mp to $685.
600. Judging from the returns for the
money invested we hazard the statement
that more general good to the public at
large could have been brought about by
curtailing the length of the session and
devoting the amount saved to some such
purpose as improvement of our public
roads, which subject has occupied the
thoughts of our farmers this winter and
spring more, we venture to say, than any
enactment of the late Legislature and is
fully as important.
Not satisfied with the expense saddled
on the taxpayers for the session just clos
ed there is talk of an extra session to
complete some work left half-done, the
contention being raised that as matters
now stand there is no authority for col.
lecting the State tax for the years 1902
and 1908. This is hut one instance oil
the results accruing from the political
chicanery practiced at the General Assem-
bly, and tends TO show the need for reform
in our State law-making body. which,
after consuming ninety days in doing
next to nothing of real importance, leaves
affairs in such shape as to require another
session for further division of the spoils.

Uncle Sans island purchases seem ii

Uncle Sans island purchases seem in
evitably to bring with them loads OF
scandal and trouble. The most recent
scandal in this line is the sensational
bribery charges made by Captain Christ
mas, in connection with the sale of the
Danish West Indies to the United States.
The Captain was one of Denmark s
agents in the deal, and in his secret re-
port to his government made charges
against certain parties more or less closely
connected to the Administration. The
amount of the corruption fund is stated
to be $500, 900. There is no mention OF
the names of Senators and Represen-
tatives in the report, except that the
Captain says Senator Lodge was the only
one whom he met that he would not have
thought of attempting to bride.
A committee was appointed by the
House to make All investigation, and this
will doubtless be the end of the matter,
as too much may be found out to give to
the public.

SMALL STRIKE AT ENNIS.
Central Call Boys Demand an
Advance in WAGES.

AS result of strike Saturday
night by the boys who are engaged
to call crews for the Houston and
Texas Central railway company at
Ennis several freight trains were
tied up in the yards there yesterday.
There were only two of the strikers,
one who worked in the day time
aud one at night. 1t seems that
they made a damand on the com
pany for an advance in their wages
and failing to obtain same they
walked out. AS the trainmen lived
ir various sections of the city the
refusal Of the call boys to work
caused the company no little incon-
venience and annoyance. IT was
learned here this morning that a
new man was put on duty last night
and while he was passing through
the Central yards somebody took a
couple of shots at him. It is thought
that matters will be adjusted in a
day or two and the trains run with
ont any further interference.

came so poor that he had no decent
clothes for his back, so friendless that
not one of his old compa Mons would
speak to him, when he would feign
have filed his belly with the husks
that the swine did eat, then he thought
of his fathers past love. Surely" said
He will care for me as much as he
would for ono of his hired servants,

the good father was ready to do more
than that. No sooner did the younger

CROOKS IN.
They Are Filling London for the Coro-
nation Crowds.

London, June 13.-The officials of
Scotland Yard and the Metropolitan
police openly express fear of their ina
bility to cope with the many thieves
of all descriptions who have invaded
London for the coronation, and a state
ment a been issued to the public
asking residents and visitors alike to
exercise the utmost vigilance in guard
ing their personal property during the
next four weeks. The citizens of Lon
don are especially warned against leav-
ing their homes unguarded on the day
of the coronation parade. The authori-
ties believe that the invasion of crooks
will be much larger than at the time
of the queens juollee. The belief is
based on the fact that a large advance
guard of the gentry has already put in
an appearance. The thieves of high
and low degree, confidence men, badger
workers, pickpockets and others who
live by their nerve and wits believe
that there will be rich picking during
the coronation exercises, and they evil
IDENTIFY want to be on the ground early.
Not only have they come from all
parts of Great Britain, but from all
owe Europe and America as well. OF
all these undesirable visitors the most
feared are those from America, who
have long enjoyed an international
reputation for their extreme ~cleverness
and holiness in plying their nefarious
trade. The Americans are considered
particularly clever as hotel thieves and
~pickpockets. AS a rule they are more
intelligent and of better appearance
than their European brethren and con-
sequently it is more difficult to detect
them. The London authorities rely
greatly on the aid of outside detectives
in the work of running down the
crooks. New York, Berlin, Paris and
other large foreign cities have SEN
some of their best men. They are sup
posed to he acquainted with the expert
thieves of their respective cities and
will take them into custody on sight,
to be kept under lock and key until
after the close of the coronation festiv-
tiles. Scotland Yard loudly complains
that it is cramped in its work by lack
of sufficient funds and an eXtraor-
binary appropriation is now under ad-
visement to provide for the proper pro-
lection of the thousands of distinguish
ed visitors now assembling in the
METROPOLIS.

When Coffee Left the Troubles Disap-
