LIKE AMERICAN HoRsEMEN.
A German Discharges All of Ills Ma
 tive Stable Boys and Jockeys.

Berlin, May 7.-Herr Bleichroeder, the Roseberry of the German turf, has dis charged every German who had anything to do with his racing stables, and from trainer to stable boys he has replaced them with Americans. among whom are several colored men. Herr Bleichroeder, who Is a prominent banker. has told his turf acquaintances that he was convinced that the Americans knew how to get the best out of the race horses and he intended to employ no other nationality in his stable.
 Only two American jocfies are continu- ously engaged on the German turf-Eddy Ross, who is owned by Herr Bleichroeder. and Nate Hill who Is retained by Herr Weinberg of Frankfort. Ross and Hill have started the season so successfully, however, that no matter what kind of . horse they ride. he is immediately mark- ed up as favorite. The Spur, the lead ing racing periodical of Berlin, has pub lished an article filling column which is to be devoted to the siorifcation of Amer ican riding as an art. The Spur ayers that in the future both American jock iss and trainers will rule the German turf.

At New York.

New York, May 7.-Short priced horses were much in evidence at Morris Park today. Jim Megibbin at 1 to was the only pronounced favorite to win. Ser geant in the Bouquet stakes leading from start to finish won by a length. The feature of the racing was the riding of Tommy Burns.

A Successful Electric Road.

Mr.. Thomas E. Lynch, of
Boonesboro, Washington county,
who was in Frederick one day last
week. in speaking of the great
success of the electric railroad
from that place to Hagerstown,
said that freight is hauled from
Boonesboro to Hagerstown at 5
cents per hundred pounds, and
that during the peach season as
many as five and six carloads of
fruit are shipped daily to Hagers-
town for points North and West.
During Sunday excursion trains
bearing four and five hundred
people visit BoonesbOro and inter
mediate points. Four hundred
tons of rail have been ordered for
the Myersville extension and it
is expected to be finished soon.
If the road was built it would
furnish cheap and rapid COM
munication between Frederick
and Hagerstown which could be
availed of, especially during the
weeks of the two respective fairs.
Now team would have to be
provided from Middletown to
Boonesboro, where the trolly
could be taken.

HEALTHY GROWTH OF A
TOWN.
What an Electric Road Has
Done for Middletown.

There is hardly another town OF
its size in Western Maryland that
has enjoyed such a steady and
healthy growth as has Middletown
in the past few years. Beginning
with the advent of the electric
road, six years ago, the spirit of
progress took possession of our
people, and since then 90 new
dwellings, have been erected in
town, nearly all of them of hand
some and modern design, to say
nothing of the three fine dwell.
ings built on the eastern outskirts
of the town. Four of these %
dwellings are going up at the
present time, and the twenty
fourth one is being started. In
addition to this handsome new
chapel is now in course of erection
for the Reformed Church.
Situated in Frederick county.
in one of the most fertile and
healthy valleys in the world, sur
rounded by scenery of unsurpassed
beauty and within less than three
hours ride from the capital of the
nation, Middletown already DOS.
sesseS many advantages that few
towns of its size can boast Of
Our trolley road to the county
seat passes a delightful summer
resort on Catoctin Mountain, only
three miles distant, and rapidly
growing in prominence. We have
as fine a water works system as
can be found anywhere. Our
churches are among the largest
and finest in the State, our public
schools are among the best and
our high school now affords two
teachers. We have one of the
best and most prosperous banks

No Dividend Yet.

Those who have been looking
for a dividend on their stock In
the Frederick and Middletown
Electric Railroad in consequence
of the big business on the road
this summer, will likely be doomed
to another disappointment. Now
the cry is that the road has been
carrying people too cheap; many
sold their coupon tickets when
such tickets should never have
been received for passage when
severed from the books, and none
but the family should be allowed
to use them. They should not be
transferable. Some day the dlvl-
dend may come.

The Visit of the Grand Jury to
Montevue.

According to custom the grand
jury paid its annual visit to the
county almshouSe. These visits
could be of consideral benefit as
the grand jury is the inquisltorial
inquest of the county, but the
same old routine is gone through
with and suggestions or improve
ments of any consequence seldom
emanate from this wise body.
During the last visit many things
might have been noticed of gen
eral interest to those who have
friends or relatives at the insti-
tuition. We believe the present
board and its superintendent are
anxious to do what is possible for
the comfort of the unfortunate of
our county. Many of our people
are opposed to making a public
insane asylum out of our homes
for our poor. The argument that
it pays should find but little favor
With so rich and prosperous a
people, surely this county can
well afford to take care of its own
poor and does not need the reve-
nue. derived from unfortunate pa
tients to keep up our institution.
Many of the grand jury were i'm.
pressed with the fact that the
County Commissioners should or
der arc lights about the grounds,
this not only for the protection of
life and property, but for many
other reasons. Light prevents
many acts which otherwise could
be committed about ths premises
! of such an institution We trust
the Board of Charities will cheer
fully unite with those who have
the best interest of the institution
at heart and urge the commits
sioners to have arc lights erected
about the grounds at Montevue
The cost would be so tritling that
no objection could be raised.
