mile southwest of Parkton 18th district, was

Randallstown, I'd District.-This village
has revived out of something of comatose
state. Within the past month everything has
been unusually quiet, there being but few di-
versions or entertainments. Now, however,
matters are Frightening up and we hope for
better things in the future.
The frame dwelling of Mrs. McGlennen,
near SCOTS Level was entirely destroyed by
fire on the 10th inst. Cause of the fire I'M
known. The Pikesville Volunteer Company
responded promptly to the alarm, but arrived
too late to be of any service. Miss Lizzie Nc
Glennen, who is recovering from an attack of
typhoid fever, was in the house when the fire
started, but escaped without any serious re-
suits.
Owing to the long-continued dry weather
the farmers have been greatly delayed in plant
ing their spring crops We had "wet sea-
son" some weeks ago, when all outdoor work
was brought to standstill and now we seem
to be paying up for it with dry one.
The strawberry crop of this neighborhood,
usually one of some importance, was greatly
damaged by late frosts and it is now suffering
for want of rain. The outlook for berries is
decidedly dscouraging.
To settle something of contention Mr.. NJ.
Sipes, of Powhatan, and Mr.. William Curtis,
of Roslyn, had race on Thursday of last week
over the half mile track at Electric Park. 1t

Mr.. Lees. Hetrick, a horse dealer of Upperco,

Raspebure, 18th District.-The congrega-
ton of Catch NJ. E. Church, at this place, has
grown to such proportions that the old church
has become too small and the trustees have
decided to erect new and more commodious
and modern edifice. The old church is an
ancient building and has been landmark in
this section of the county for more than
century.
The work of improving Hamilton avenue,
which extends from the Hartford to the Bel
air road, has been completed and it is now in
fine condition. 1t is great improvement to
the neighborhood and the people are much
pleased at the change.
Mrs. f. Seymour, of this neighborhood, who
had been very ill for several months, is again
able to be out.
A few days ago horse belonging to Mr..
VIM. Raspe bolted through wire fence and
caused some damage. He is city bred horse
and evidently didn't know the nature of wire
fence, hence the trouble.
A fine fox terrier belonging to Mr.. Edward
Laudengloss went mad last Sunday morning
and had to be killed. A few weeks ago dog
belonging to Mr.. Knopp met the same fate.
Both these dogs are supposed to have been
bitten nearly eight months ago by coon
dog belonging to Mr.. H. Catch that was at
tackled by rabies and bit number of dogs in
this community. Some of these are still living
and their owners should watch them care

A County OfaciaI Sues the Commission
ers.-Mr. N. Bosley Merryman, Clerk of the
Circuit Court, has sued the County Commits
sioners to recover $104, fees alleged to be due
him for issuing writs of habeas corpus at the
September term of court, 1902. Mr.. Merry
man presented an itemized bill to the Commits
sioners and they refused payment on the
ground that they are not bound to pay costs IN
habeas corpus cases. The question was raised
some time ago when the warden of the Balti-
more city jail claimed compensation for taking
prisoners TO Towson in habeas corpus cases,
and Mr.. Osborne l. Yellott, counsel to the
Board, gave an opinion that no costs were paya-
BILE by the county in these cases. He is OF the
same opinion in Mr.. Merryman's case. Inc
Legislature of 1900 passed an act providing
that no appearance fees in habeas corpus cases
should be paid The paying of costs by the
Board in habeas corpus cases has been GUS
tom since the court was organized at Towson
in 1851.

and last Of the Jain cult, an ancient Gull
OF India. DR.. HKBKR NEWTON, In sum
ming up, took the ground that Chris.
tianity is not exclusive, but inclusive oil
all religions, and the Rev. JRNKrN AoYr
JONES Of Chicago, the Unitarian, put
substantially the same sentiment In this
way: Get to heaven by any road you
like; choose by-path II you will, but Tor
the work needed in this world let's stand
together
The reports OF Sundays sermons In
New York suggest, however. that this
Is not the place TO which to come for a
less elastic religion. The Rev. DIR. LIZ
MAN ABBOTT, a Congregational minister,
told the Peoples Institute at Cooper
Union that religion does not ask you
to be Catholic or a Protestant. Jew
or a Christian but simply asks: Do
justly. love mercy, walk reverenuy with
GoD.' DR.. PARKHuRsT, a Presbyterian,
defined Christian as a pure, honest and
unselfish man." The spirit OF these
utterances does not differ essentially
from that expressed at the Stanford
University conference, whether by DR..
NEWTON, by the Unitarian, by the Metho-
dist hereto or by the representatives OF
religions Of India.
Probably the views expressed by
Bishop HUNTINGTON Of the Central New
York diocese Of the Episcopal Church,
would better suit this San Francisco
lady, for he rebuked his clergy for not
preaching He'll. OF a hundred average
Sermons" he asked, do three posi-
lively proclaim it?' On the same Sun
day, however, there died at London a
distinguished dignitary Of the Church to
which Bishop HUNTINGTON belongs who
preached and wrote against the doc
Urine of eternal torment In He'll, and
presented a view OF Biblical inspiration
in general agreement with that OF the
higher criticism-Dean FARRAR Of Can
terbury. In many respects Dean FAR
RARs religious and theological liberality
was as extreme az DR.. HRBER NEwToNs.
We are therefore obliged to decline
the request of the San Francisco lady to
pick out for her a real live man to sue
coed Dr. HEBER NEWTON, for her def
milton OF such q man seems to be that he
shall have positive religious belief to
preach and to defend before the youth OF
the Golden State. Undoubtedly, Bishop
satisfies her requirements.
but he is not eligible for the place OF
preacher to the Stanford University,

In his mind. One evening last week this

Cuban Reciprocity treaty and other mat
tiers which he regards as Of the greatest
importance, including the question Of the

use tho war powers OF the Governments
concerned for tho purpose OF collecting
ordinary debts.
So far as Venezuela is affected. the
ordinary debts collected by blockade and
bombardment. though considerable, are
not so huge a. to threaten the Caracas
Government with permanent disable
ment through the confiscation OF its
customs revenue for an indefinite period.
The element Of grave danger in the
Venezuela affair was the precedent which
the allied Powers sought to establish, the
principle to which they strove to give
validity. It would be absolutely impos-
sible for Peru TO pay interest and sinking
fund on the whole Of Its foreign debt
without the permanent confiscation OF
the customs revenue Of Callao, on which
the Lima Government mainly depends
for its support. Argentina owes an
enormous amount Of money-more than
q billion dollars-to foreign creditors,
and, although she is now well able to
provide interest and sinking fund, day
might come when, owing to revolution
and anarchy, default on her part might
be held to justify confiscation OF the
customs revenue Of Buenos Aires and
Rosario, IL the outcome Of the Venezuela
affair were to be accepted as precedent.
Fortunately, public opinion, not only in
England, but even in Germany, is OPP
posed to making a precedent OF the
Venezuela incident. German exporters
have discovered that, owing to the ac-
ton OF their Government, they are
threatened with the loss Of nearly all the
business which they had laboriously
acquired In South America, a loss 30
serious that Chancellor Won BtLow
tried to reassure them by declaring that
the Venezuela case was exceptional, and
that the Berlin Foreign Office would not
always dispose Of such matters through
force.
That declaration of Chancellor Won
BtLow's was not prompted only by a
OF the disgust with which
manufacturers regard the situa-
ton. He must know that, il Germany
should want to repeat the Venezuela
she would have to do it
alone. The British people will not per-
nit their Foreign Office again to use the
British navy for the purpose Of eIactinG
he payment Of ordinary debts from an
American commonwealth.
