The Blessing of Crowded Cars.--The
wholesome, healthful philosopher is he who
picks out of the inevitable things of life some
thing for which to be thankful, says the Balti-
more Anaerican The man who, finding GER
tain unpleasant thing is unavoidable, turns the
misfortune into a jest or blessing, is a bene-
factor to his race. The oyster finds bit OF
foreign substance within its shell. The pro-
voking granule cannot be removed. The oys-
ter busies itself with smoothing over the ag-
gravation so as to rid it of its irritating sharp
ness, and behold a pearl is formed. The de-
cayed stump in the meadow lot is an unsightly
thing blot upon the landscape. Nature sees
it and twines beautiful vine about it, trans
forming it into an object to be singled out by
the painter as an object of especial attractive
ness.
An application of natures blessed philoso-
ply to various things of our daily life would
be helpful indeed. We come into contact with
annoyances day after day. and instead of adj
justing ourselves to them, make ourselves and
those about us positively unhappy by raising
strenuous and querulous objection to it all.
We place ourselves in the attitude of billy
goat humping its calloused head against
brick wall that refuses to remove itself from
his belligerent pathway.
Among the inevitable annoyances are the
crowded street cars. No doubt system could
be devised by which less crowding would be
necessary, but it is impossible to prevent crowd
ing in cars at certain time OF day. Even If a
dozen cars be provided for the purpose of &C
commodating the rush, every passenger insists
upon having place in the first car. A great
many of those who rush for the first car and
have to stand are the worst GROWERS over their
failure to get seats. The unreasonableness OF
this it is unnecessary to point out. How
much better it is to follow the example of
some of those sunny philosophers who form
the leaven in the lump of every crowded car.
and laugh at it all, turning the temporary dis
comfort into a merry excursion party In which
everyone gets acquainted, and feels that be had
rather be on that car standing than riding IN
a handsom all by himself.
WHY, ride on q iammed street car can be
turned into an impromptu social event. The
very informally of it and the absolute democ-
racy of the commingling help to pleasant
and sympathetic acquaintance. man treads
on his neighbours toe, and jestingy apologies
for it. A man is hurled into pretty girls
lap and the situation is so ludicrous that they
laugh together easily and naturally. A man
who is enjoying the luxury of strap for each
| hand gives one OF LleU TO u ldUy WuO Is uOlu-
| ing half dozen bundles, and she thanks him
with far more sincerity than if he had been in
q dress suit and handing her an ice. One
! woman takes from tired mother one of the
| latters children, holds it on her lap and talks
| to it comfortingly. Real brotherly and sister
| ~ feeling is engendered by these involuntary
comminglings. They do us good And if ever
system is devised that would do away entire
| ly with the crowded car the great plebeian
| world will have lost its chief ice breaker and
will be the loser rather than the gamer by the
change.
| All Hands Around Among County
| Ofhcials-On Wednesday the County Com
| missioners accepted the designations of Mr..
| Henry P. Mann as superintendent OF the Bal
timore county fre-alarm telegraph system,
| Mr.. John P. Chilcoat as road commissioner In
| the 9Th district, and Mr.. William Byerly as
| road commissioner in the 4th district.
| Mr.. Mann is the newly-elected County Conn.,
missioner and takes the place of Mr.. Charles
| H. Knox, the retiring member of the Board.
| As soon as Mr.. Mann's resignation was accept
| ed Mr. Mann was sworn in as Commissioner
| before Clerk of the Court, Mr.. N. Bosley Mer-
| ryman, and gave bond for $500. He will
enter upon his duties next Tuesday.
| Mr.. Chicoat will be appointed warden OF
the Jail and will be the first official under the
recent act of the Legislature which gives the
| Commissioners control over the Jail and takes
| it out of the hands of the Sheriff.
| It is understood that MIR. Elijah M. Price, the
present Waterman at the Jail, will be deputy
| warden for three months, and Mr.. jacob
| Wilhelm will be Waterman.
| Mr.. Byerly is the newly elected judge Of the
| Orphans Court. Mr.. Newton j. Geist was APP
| pointed road commissioner in the place of Mr..
| Byerly.
Chief Judge Melchor Hoshall, who was re-
elected Judge of the Orphans Court, and Mr..
| William Byerly and Mr.. William E. thinner
man, who were elected judges, were sworn in
before the Clerk of the Court.
| Afterward they went to the Orphans Court
| and took their seats. Judge Hoshall will con-
tinue as chief judge and occupy his old seat,
made vacant by the retirement OF Judge Al
bert F. Brunier and Judge Byerly the place
vacated by Jrdge Lewis W. Held.
Meeting of Game and Fish Association.
| The executive committee of the Maryland
| State Fish and Game Protective Association
| held meeting in Baltimore, on Tuesday night
| for the purpose of discussing the measures to
be presented to the next Legislature by the
association. Many suggestions were offered to
| the secretary in whose charge the drawing up
| of the several measures has been placed.
The association desires in the main to bring
| about better game laws throughout the State
| and it will work also for uniform law. Here
| tofore there has been much trouble owing to
| each county having its own laws in regard to
| the killing of game. The ducking on the
| flats on the Susquehanna will also form part
of the bill to be presented by the association.
| A motion was adopted to invite prominent
| duckers to meet the members Of the executive
committee and discuss plans for lettering the
/ present laws in regard to the killing of ducks.
/ It is said that many of the residents of the
counties where the greater part of the ducking
| is done are of the opinion that If the present
rate of killing is continued that within few
years the game for which the State has become
| noted will be exterminated almost entirely.
The use of the magazine and pump gun is
also a question which the association has
under consideration. 1t is more than likely
that the organization will present some meas
ure to regulate the use of such guns.
1t is also contemplated to advocate measure
| in regard to hunters tax.
Recently the association has been waging an
active campaign against violators of the fish
and game laws. Within the last three weeks
sixteen persons have been arrested at the re-
quest of the association and the greater part of
them have been convicted and fined.

Not the Banner Precinct.--Mr. 81. r
Polk writes as follows to the Baltimore Sun
I'm your issue of November 18th, in your &C
count of the launching of Mr.. Talbott's boom
for the United States Senate at Govanstown
you state thatth Govanstown precinct was the
banner precinct at the late election. A glance
over the returns will show that honor is right
ly due to the second precinct of the Sd district
(Arlington), which gave Mr.. Warfield 15S plu
rality and other pluralities ranging from III
for Mr.. John s. Biddison, for the State Senate
to 100 for Mr.. @. e. Fitzsimmons, for the
House of Delegates. the average being 1854, 6
plurality which no other precinct in Baltimore
county came near giving"
