A NEW HOTEL.

On Tuesday afternoon a practi
cal project was put i'll shape foi
the building Of a new hotel fol
New Iberia--a very much needed
institution.
Mr.. Portus h. Burke, ably as.
sisted by Mr.. Il. s. Mcmahon, took
the initiative in the matter and are
making a canvass of the property
holders of the town soliciting their
subscriptions to a fund with
which to purchase the site. The
Jackson property, on the corner Of
Main and Fisher streets, running
from Main street to the bayou 10
the rear, has been selected as the
proper location. If the funds neces-
sary can be secured it is proposed
to offer it to either a private indi
vidual or a corporation, provi( led
the donee or donees Will oblig|lte
himself or themselves to build 3.
modern hotel building on the site
to cost not less than $50, 900.
There is no feature that this
town needs more than such an
hotel building, if we may Judge of
chat need by the expressions of
opinion from the general travelling
public. People who would come
here for indefinite stays go else

proper hotel accommodations

Agricultural College.

The board of trustees of the Maryland
Agricultural College held its regular quar-
terly meeting at the college last Friday.
Messrs. Stanley, Merryman, Hill, Seibert
and Councilman were present. In the re-
port of R. W. Sylvester attention was
called to Objectionable features in the
present State fertilizer law, and sugges-
lions were made for changes in the same.
The president also urged the members
of the board to cooperate in every posi-
BILE way with the effort now being made
to have a large agricultural exhibit from
Maryland at the St. Louis Exposition.
The board took up the question of the
present United States immigration law,
and the idea was advanced that the condi-
tions in the present law are such as to
prevent the importation of farm laborers.
Owing to the great distress among South
ern Maryland farmers, due to the scarcity
of farm laborers, the board decided to
communicate with the United States Sen
ators from Maryland and urge them to
propose some remedial legislation in con-
nection with the immigration laws.
The building committee reported that
on account of the cold weather it is n
safe to plaster the new building until next
spring, the postponement of which work
will delay the completion of the building
until next year.

Trolley Cars Collide.

AS the result of a collision on the City
and Suburban Electric Railway, near
Block street, Hyattsville, late last Satur'
day afternoon, Conductor G. H. Shaffer,
of car No. 400. was injured, and Motor
mar w. J. Carter, of car No. Ala, was
painfully hurt.
Both men are residents of Washington,
and have been in the employ of the com
any but a short while. The accident
was the result of the failure of car No.
400 to display proper signals when near
Block street. The trolley of this car be-
came displaced, leaving it in darkness.
Conductor Shaffer was attempting to ad-
just the trolley, when car No. Ala, rum
ming at a high rate of speed, crashed into
it. This car was badly damaged and
thrown from the track, the motorman
being extricated from the debris appar-
emily in a dying condition.
The injured men were taken to a Wash
ington hospital. Conductor Skaters
skull was fractured. There were lacera-
tions about the head and abrasions about
the body.
Motorman Carter's left leg and knee
cap were fractured. Traffic was inter-
fered with until late that night.

Can The State Aid The Public
Roads?

Some lawyers express the opinion that
under the constitution of the state 1t IS
not in the power of the General Assembly
to make an appropriation in aid of pub
lie roads, as has been proposed.
The constitutional provision ~(article ),
section 34) quoted says in part:
No debt shall be hereafter contracted
by the General Assembly unless such debt
shall be authorized by a law providing
for the collection of an annual tax or
taxes sufficient to pay interest on such debt
as it falls due, and also to discharge the
principal thereof within Is years from
the time of contracting the same 4 The
credit of the state shall not in any man
ner be given or loaned to or in aid of any
individual association or corporation, nor
shall the General Assembly have the
power in any mode to involve the state in
the construction of works of internal i'm.
provement, nor in granting any aid there
to, which shall involve the faith or credit
of the state, nor make any appropriation
therefor, except, in aid of the construc-
ton of works of internal improvement.
State vs.. Hendrickson, Is Nd, 2O5.
Lawyers who have looked into the sub
ject say the organic law as quoted above
prohibits the state being a party in any
manner to the construction of internal
improvements-that is, public roads.
1t is also contended that the State Con-
stitution stands IN the way of that feature
of the Haman Oyster Bill which proposes
aid to the public roads. The point is
made howe yer, that in the Haman bill
a especial road fund.- is created, and
hence guards against that portion of the
Constitution which prohibits appropria-
ton out of the general state treasury for
"internal improvements" The revenue
clause of the Haman bill to be submitted
to the General Assembly during its APP
preaching session reads as follows:
SECTION "a. The revenues arising from
the operation of this act shall be applied
in the following manner: First, to the
payment Of all salaries, expenses, surveys,
OUTLAWS and disbursements authorized by
this act; second, the balance, if any, to be
paid at the end of the year into the treas
ury of the state, leaving, however, a bal
ance at the end of each year of $4,000
with the shellish commissioner, to be ap-
piled to the current expenses of his office
for the ensuing year. All moneys SO re-
ceived shall be placed to the credit of a
special fund called the especial road
fund.-"

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Cata1rh is
a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally and acts directly or the blood
and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure
is not a quack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one of the best physicians in
this country for years, and is a regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combina-
ton of the two Ingredients is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in curing
