OLD NEWSPAPERS,

Mr.. John X. DenbOw, of Benson, re-
Gently left at this office two copies of the
Independent Citizen, a newspaper that
was formerly published i'll Bel Air. 1t
was edited by John Mckenny, Jr., and
Lyndc Ellicott. One of the papers bears
date July 4th, 1898, and contains 4
fitting editorial The Declaration of In
dependence is also published in full and
the other columns are taken up with OK
tracts from contemporaries.
Tic paper also contains all interesting
account of the dedication of the Masonic
Hall, in Bel Air, which took place on the
oath of June of that year. 1t must have
been a gala occasion as the Grand Lodge
of Maryland was present together with
a large number af Knights Templar.
The ceremonies were in charge of the
Grand Master and after solemn rites the
parade marched through the streets of
the village" The concluding paragraph
says: "On the whole, we believe there
has never before been exhibited so splen-
did a spectacle i'll this county on any oc-
casion as that of which we have now
given an imperfect sketch; and we fer
veutly hope and trust that the pious and
charitable purposes protested throughout
this interesting and solemn ceremony
may be widely extended; intended as they
seem to he fox the promotion of brother
~ love among mankind and the anchor
alton of our condition in this world of
probation"

MRS. RACHEL ANN JONES.
THE NEW ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

Mr.. b. L. Cutler, who has had charge
of the surveys for the Baltimore and Bel
Air Electric Railway Company. has for
wardcd his report with the maps and
proflcs showing the comparative merits
of the routes surveyed over the Baiti-
more and Hartford Turnpike and the
Baltimore and Jerusalem Turnpike. His
report is full and complete, giving the
comparative grades and dealing with
the subject from nearly every standpoint.
His general tendency is in favor of the
Hartford Turnpike route, although it will
be a more expensive line to build, and
will necessitate increased subscriptions
from the residents along that route if
they would secure its construction.
The approximate comparative cost is
given as $500 per mile for Is miles, a
total of $1+O, 400, on the Baltimore and
Hartford Turnpike and $500 per mile
for II miles, Il total of Sl27, 500, on the
Jerusalem Turnpike. The subject of
bridges across the various rivers to he
crossed is also dealt with and attention
is drawn to the fact that on the Jerusa-
lem Turnpike the present bridge over the
Big Gunpowdcr can be utilized; while
there would be the necessity ofconstruct-
ing very expensive structure to cross
the Big Gunpowdcr ON the Hartford Turn
pike route. The bridges over the Little
Gunpowdcr and Winters Run are placed
at So, 800 and ST, 300 respectively.
The surveys made at Cub Hill and
near Mr.. Charles ]. Bonaparte's country
home, for the purpose of eliminating
dangerous curves on heavy grades, are
dealt with at length and the features of
constructing a road with light grades
and without serious curves are treated in
the light of increasing speed and reducing
operating expenses. Mr.. Cutler says of
the Hartford Turnpike route. You will
have the shortest possible line to Balti-
more, fair grades, fewer private road
crossings no fence account, a line salts
factory to and most convenient for the
traffic to lie cared for"
With the information gained by the re-
ports of the surveys and the substantial
subscriptions made by every land owner
from Lauravilie to Bel Air, sufficient
working data seems to he on hand to
call stockholders meeting at some early
date in April for the election Of directors
and other matters in connection with he
commencement of construction.

From michaeiSville.

NIcIIAEIavILLE, April 6.-AIbor Day
was observed at our school, and. us one
of tii:. patrons remarked "a short horse
soon clirri2d" and it was sure enough.
Not q tree was set out and very Ettle i'll
terest was taken i'll planting ANYTHING
because the sap is so tar advanced that
the trees and vines all die as fast as the
children put them III the ground This Is
poor encouragement as the day nam>diS
entirel; too late in the season. All vcSc-
tation is now as green rs Governor
Smith, on the subject of Arbor DAY. 1t
is day set apart for no other purpose
but to encourage the rising generation to
plant forests, but it should not be later
than the middle of March when the sap
has not commenced to come up.
The city sports are still pelting away
at the few ducks which are left from last
seasons campaign. They will keep it up
until the 10th of A pril when the law cx-
pires below the Susquehanna fats. They
are what we might term cigarette sports
who have moramoncv than brains, and
woukl knowingly ptH the life out of the
last duck. just as quickly as they would
pHif the smoke out of their last
cigarette. We are only too glad to
see that Havrc dc Grace rs begin
ming to see the injurious effect that this
incessant shooting is having ON the
wild fowl. They too are now asking for
more law and better protection. The
Republican recently came out very strong
" and said this murdcrous slaughter at
this season of the year be stopped, and
that the General Assembly should pass Il
law to prohibit shooting ducks after the
18th Of February. But even better than
this would be a law prohibiting shooting
anywhere in the State of Maryland after
the first of January, for three or five
years This vii! give the sporting
fraternity two months. November and
December, and that should he enough to
satisfy any right thinking man. The
birds ought to have chance to rerupcr-
ate Most Of them are killed afleY
January 1st up until the time the law
saws they must stop on the last day of
March on the flats, or the 10Th of April
