Young man. If you want to succeed
IN life, beware Of self-indulgenee. That
vice is the bane of modern times Your
forbears succeeded because they eXer-
eised the virtues Of self-restraint aud
self-sacrifce. Those virtues sound
strangely in your ears. You have little
conception Of what they mean. In
your grandfather's youth there were
no heating and cooking stoves, 10 say
nothing Of gas ranges. Your grand
mother cooked the meals ut the fire
place OF in a Dutch oven. There were
no kerosene lamps, no railroads, no
telegraphs, no telephones. The civil
zation Of those times was not rich in
invention, but it was rich in men and
women There were few luxurles in
those early times and little temptation
to self-indulgence. Life is made easy
for you in one sense aud hard for you
in another. Mastery of self Is more
difficult now than it was fifty years
ago There are less difficulties to over
come and more temptations In the
way. And if you are not careful OF
your opportunities the children Of
other lands will outrun you. 1t Is the
children of the foreigners who are do
ing the heavy work OF the land and in
SO doing they are building up the phys
zeal mental aud moral fibre that you
lack. Don't make fun Of the lmmi-

disposition to self-lndulgence, self-in-

dissipation. If you are to run your

deny yourself Sounds strange? 1t il

An important Decision.

In the Court of Appeals, on Thursday,
Judge Briscoe sustained the order OF the
Howard county court in the case of the New
York Security and Trust Company and John
w. Sterling, trustee, vs.. William DAVIS. OF
MarriottsvilIe. This proceeding was instituted
in the Circuit Court Of Howard county, sitting
in equity, to foreclose mortgage dated March
10, 1871, to secure loan of 81, 600, and exc
cuted by William Davis and others, defend
ants, to Caroline E. Parks, of the State of
New York, executrix of Charles E. Parks, the
predecessor in the trust, of the appellants.
The defendants answered the bill, and on the
Goth of February, 1900, upon written assent
of the defendants, decree was passed direct
ing the mortgaged properly to be sold and the
money from the sale be brought into court and
distributed under the direction of the court.
The property sold for $12,050, and the sale
was ratified on September 15 1902. The au-
dts were fled in the case. The first was
stated, according 20 the conteEtion of the APP
pellants, and showed deficit OF 81, 1923. rs
due the trustees, after applying proceeds OF
sale, etc. On May Ia. 1901. the appellee,
William Davis, fled exceptions to the first au-
dit, stating that the charge of interest at the
rate of per cent, as set forth III the mort
gage, is usurious, and having paid the above
rate of interest for 10 years he is entitled to
have the payments made by him in excess Of
the legal rate of interest according TO the law
of Maryland. The lower court sustained the
exceptions fled by the appellee and directed
q new account to be made, and the exceptions
to the second audit we're overruled. The
Court of Appeals affirms the order of the
lower court on the ground that court of
equity will grant relief against the payment OF
usurious interest even after Judgment Messrs.
Bond & Parke, Of Westminster, were attorneys
for Mr.. Davis, aud Messrs. Marbury and Nc.
Lane for the Company.

Abel Pleads Guilty.


Stephen A. Abel, late census enumeration
for District Ill of st. Mary's county, Md,
pleaded guilty Monday in the United States
Court, Baltimore, for violation OF the census
act of March 8, 1899. He was sentenced by
Judge Morris to pay fine of 5000, which
amount he paid.
With the exception of the case against Jo-
seph H. Ching, whichis now pending before
the Supreme Court of the United States, this
practically disposes Of the famous Southern
Maryland census trials
Abel was first tried with Daniel j. Bowles
and Philip T. Graves, enumerators, and Jo-
seph II. Ching, attorney -at-law, all OF st.
Mary's county, for conspiracy. Charles d.
Guyther, an enumeration, had previously plead
ed guilty, and the jury found Ching guilty.
Abel, Bowles and Graves we're found not
guilty. Guyther was fined 500, while Bowes
came into court subsequently ION June ID,
1901 and pleaded guilty to violation of the
census act. He was fined 5000 and sentenced
to so days in Jail. Graves was not tried
again. On June "a, 1901, the Government
took up the second trial of Abel individually
for violation of the census act, but the Jury
were unable to agree and were dismissed on
June 30, 1901.
Ching took an appeal to the Circuit Court
of Appeals, which affirmed the District Court s
decision on November 8, 1902. The Govern
ment being sustained as to the legality of the
census act. Mr.. John G. Rose, United States
Attorney, had Abell's case set down for trial
again on December IL. Abell's decision not
to stand trial again thus saves him third trial.

Cannon for Speaker.


According to figures given out by the man.
ager CT his campaign for Speaker Of the next
House Of Representatives, Joseph G. Cannon,
of Illinois, will have some fifteen to twenty
more votes in caucus than will be necessary
to give him the nomination. The selection
will not be good one. He has been mem
Der of the House for twenty years or more,
and is well equipped on rules and procedure
But he is testy, lacks dignity and is careless as
to bis personal appearance When the caucus
is held to select aominee for Speaker it is
hoped that Mr. Canlion's vote will be short OF
majority. The Speaker ofthe House should
be man Of fine presence aud intellectual and
social culture. 1t is distinguished position,
welding great power, and the salary attached
is greater than that of other Congressman.

$1,000 Notes for Christmas.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-That the month of
Christmas joys-and troubles-is again here
became evident today to the teller of the
United States Sub Treasury by an application
for twenty-five crisp, new $1,000 bills, to be
used as Xmas presents by wealthy fnancier,
whose name was not given. The bills-all of
them yellow backed gold certi6cates-w
counted off from package of 500 new ones,
which is kept in special box in the safe.
Every year about this time there comes
heavy demand for new bills of all denomina-
tons, for new gold coins and new ''small
change" This year the demand is starting in
unusually early.
A $1,000 bill may seem a good sized pres
ent, but there are many millionaires who make
such presents to their trusted clerks or other
confidential employees.

Among the finest tributes paid to the United
States by foreigners is that of Ludwig Max
Goldberger, member Of the German Board
for Commercial Museums. Mr.. Goldberger
spent eight months in this country, during
which he made personal investigations re-
speeding our economic progress for the infor-
nation of the German Government. He has
written series Of articles in a leading Berlin
newspaper, in which he characterzes the
United States as ''the land of unbounded pos
sibiIities.' The things that impressed this
keen observer most are the inventive intelli-
gence of Americans and their unbounded con-
fidence in their country. 1t seemed to him
as though every one were filed with the idea,
s'the stranger shall see how great and strong
America isl Vast changes have taken place
since Sydney Smiths sneers, at the insignia
canoe ofall things American, were written. No
country is now attracting more attention than
the United States. All Europe desires to
learn the secret of our prosperity.

Broke Boys Jawbones.

YORK, Pa, Nov 30.-Albert, the 12-year-
old son of Harvey Golden, a tenant-on the farm
of Horace Keesey, on the Wrightsville pike,
near this place, was brutally assaulted by two
hunters, who mistook the lad for another boy.
The two marksmen were hunting ON the
Strickler farm, near by, and were ordered off.
They had gone but a short distance along the
public highway when they met young Golden
driving along in his spring wagon. Checking
the horse, they brutally attacked the lad, break
ing both jawbones, knocking his teeth out and
ripping his mouth from ear to ear. The horse
was then turned in the direction of his home,
about 300 yards away.
The boy was found in an unconscious con-
dition and presented horrible sight. Thus
far nothing further has been heard of the
guilty parties.
