tying the knot. 1t happened that it was the
brides second matrimonial venture, she hav-
ing been divorced from her first husband.
@Another bubble in the suburbs of Balti-
more has been pricked. This is the Airing
brook land scheme that was going to accom-
plish such wonderful things in the northwest
ern section about a year ago. Perhaps its
name had something to do with killing ii.
- The hall building at the terminus of the
Hartford road electric line at Hamilton is to be
enlarged by the erection of an addition 80 by
30 feet. 1t will be the same height as the pres
ent building. The lower portion will be used
| of the hall.
- People who use horses should be very
careful of them when the mercury gets up
around 90. horse called upon to do heavy
pulling in the broiling sun should be watered
frequently. This refreshes him and also aids
perspirati0n. A merciful man will be merci-
full to his beast
| NEARLY everybody who can get away is
hunting the cool spots about this time, but by
far the larger percentage of the population
| just remains at home and takes the weather as
it comes because they can't afford to do any
thing else. And many of them thinkthey are
- Hon. j. Fred C. Talbot, who manages
his mothers farm at Lutherville, had his
wheat crop threshed this week and got nearly
thousand bushels of prime grain. The
average was about 26 bushels to the acre,

as an exceptionally fine crop. ~.
->It is safe to say that many thousands of
Baltimore people spent Friday, Saturday and
Sunday last in Baltimore county, either visit
other resorts. The steam and electric lines
traversing the county were taxed to provide
accommodations for the pleasure seekers.
Estates Attorney Grason receives good
many anonymous letters from people who
complain that others are violating the law
either by the sale of liquor on Sunday or per-
hitting gambling on their premises, etc. If
these writers are honest in what they profess
why don't they sign their names to the letters?
- Edward j. Watkins, whose home is at
Baltimore on Thursday and said he was de-
serter from the U. S. training ship Franklin.
He left his ship at Norfolk two weeks before
and wants to be sent back. Watkins is 10
years of age and enlisted at Philadelphia last
March.
- Baseball appears to be more popular
sport this year than ever. On the 4th and 9th
of July scores of games were played in this
county, some of the towns having no fewer
than three in single day. Some of these, de-

was hurt and the storms have doubtless blown
over long since.
- Within thelast week some coal has been
delivered in Towson at S12 per ton. This is
one of the results of the anthracite strike.
While the miners are losing millions of dol
lars through their idleness the people of the
country are being indirectly robbed in order to
get what they must of necessity have. Sure
ly this is all wrong.

took trip through the South, made one dis

convicted of murder in the first degree for
killing Patrolman Donohue, of Baltimore was
on Monday sentenced by Judge Fowler to be

1.-THE mosquito pest has commenced oper-
atoms in Towson earlier this year than usual,
but our people don't seem to make concerted
move for its suppression. The use of coal oil
about drains and sinks will surely. check these
troublesome things. So we'll satisfied were the
people of Walbrook of this fact last summer
that they are using the oil more freely now
than ever. 800
- Mrs. Frederick C. Todd, of Ruxton, N. c..
R. R., sat in her carriage few days ago while
her coachman took the horses bride off to-
make some change. AS might have been ex-
pected, the horse ran away, threw Mrs. Todd
out and broke her left arm. A man who will
attempt to change a bride while a horse is

Lutherville between the two baseball teams
now in existence there-.the Athletic Club
team and the team of the Country Club.
Each, of course, has its partisans and at times
these engage in heated discussions that to an
outsider, are not little amusing. Why there
should be two organizations of the kind in a
town the size of Lutherville it would be use
less to attempt to explain.
THE violent storm of wind that swept
over sections of Baltimore county on Thurs
day afternoon of last week was more serious
in its results than was at first supposed. A
good many buildings were damaged and scores
of trees were blown up by the roots while
others were injured by having limbs torn from
them. Fortunately the high wind lasted only
few minutes Had it continued longer there
is no telling what the consequences might
have been.

Good Suggestion. section in the vicinity
of Darlington was visited by cyclone about
two o'clock on Sunday afternoon. The cloud
was peculiar in shape and the path of its fury
was about one hundred yards in width. 1t
started in the vicinity of the Woolsey farm,
where a number of fences were torn up.
Travelling east it reached the property of Miss
Tacy b. Matthews, where the barn and num-
Der of outbuildings were demolished. 1t next
struck the farm of Mr.. Thomas E. Holloway
and uprooted about twoIhirds of his apple
orchard. carrying one big tree at least sixty
feet. His barn was totally demolished. 1t
then blew down several trees on the farm of
Mr.. E. NJ. Allen. but did no further damage.
At the home of Mr.. D. f. Price it showed I'M
usual fury. The barn was blown down and
considerable wheat which was in the field was
scattered. When it reached the farm of Mr..
