THE DEMOCRATIC newspapers of Baltimore
county have not uttered single word in con-
domination of the present infamous election
law. Plenty of space is devoted to NEGRO
the campaign, but not one sentence is written
in denunciation of law that deprives hum
dreds of WHITE MEN of the most highly
cherished right of an American. If you want
this unjust and uncalled for law repealed you
must vote the Republican ticket

Railroad Company Won This Suit.-A
verdict was rendered on Monday against
Charles League by jury in the Baltimore
CITY Court in his suit against the Northern
Central Railway for an alleged lifting" of the
plaintiffs ticket by one of the company's con-
ductors. This was the second trial of the case.
In the former trial the plaintiff was given a
verdict for $500. This, however, was set aside
and upon motion of the railway Judge Sharp
granted new trial. The reason for the con-
fiscation of the ticket which was good be-
tween Sparrow's Point and Baltimore, was
that one of the used trips had been plugged"
and that the plug was put in upside down,
which made it more discernible by the con-
ductor.

Chief Judge David Fowler.-In pleas
ing little sketch of Judge Fowler Mr.. Paul
Winchester, in the Baltimore Herald, says:
"a clear-headed, learned lawyer, without any
thing fussy in his makeup" is what dis
tinguished Governor of Maryland once said OF
Judge Fowler, who now represents the Third
Circuit on the bench of Maryland's highest
court. And the eminent jurist well deserves
the appellation for he is not only learned, but
clear headed, and no man in the State is less
given to what the practical Governor called
''fussiness."
Judge Fowler has a long and noted record
as Judge, and no jurist in Maryland stands
higher in the esteem of the bar and the lalty
than he. He is modest and unassuming in
his manners, and at times appears almost diff
dent in his intercourse with others, yet more
courteous and agreeable man never wore the
ermine. He is tactful, kind and considerable,
and in all his relations with bis associates,
whether of the bench or the bar, is so uni
formly regardful of what is right and proper
that it is doubtful if he ever was guilty OF the
slightest sign of offense toward any man with
whom he has been brought into contact. In
other words, he is gentleman in the truest
sense of the wo1d.
Socially Judge Fowler is as much of a success
as he is professionally and as an official be
is pleasant conversationalist, talks well and
intelligently on many subjects does not tell
long winded and uninteresting stories, but so
conducts himself that his presence is always
welcome and his absence regretted Dy tnose
who meet him.
Another Suit in the Sanitarium Matter.
Mr. Matthew s. Atkinson, by Attorneys w.
Irving Cross Oscar Wolff, Stuart 5. Janney

Valley, formerly known as the Slinglutf place,
for the purpose of establishing thereon an in
ebriate sanitarium or asylum, or an institution
for the treatment of inebriates or persons suf-
fering from nervous diseases and drug habits;
The suit is similar to one heretofore filed,
and which was set down for hearing on Mon
day last, but was postponed. 1t sets forth
the injury to the property of the complainants
and others in Green Spring Valley which
it alleged would accrue from the establishment
of an inebriate asylum. Mr.. Felgner ownsthe
