THE P|NKNEY STREET CASE.
A Number of Streets Affected
BY The Decision.

Much interest is felt in the out
come before the Court of Appeals of
the case of the Annapolis and Balti-
NOR Short Line Railroad Company
against the corporation of Annapolis,
in which the decision of the Circuit
Court for Anne Arundel County
awarded portion of what the city
claimed as the bed of Pinkney street
TO the railroad company. The city
claimed the ownership of the bed of
the street through to st. john street,
including the portin crossing the rail
road tracks by right of dedication on
the part of the former owners and ac-
ceptance by the city and by prescrip-
tion. The lower court granted de-
cree. holding the railroad company
owners by purchase of the block from
Bladen to st. Johns streets, except
portions which had been actually deed
ed to the city
The City Council wisely ordered an
appeal in the case, as to acquiesce in
the decision of the lower court might
entail a serious loss to the city ON ac-
count of its bearings ON other city
streets, which, il is understood, the
Short Line claims. These streets are
JOHnSOh sLoots III lHOht VI tuo we'll
known whites Row." and Small
wood, Dulaney, Paca and other streets
ON the opposite side of the track
Houses are built on all these streets
1t has been estimated that about
three acres of ground are included in
the beds of the streets in a somewhat
similarl situation to Pinkney street.
City Counselor Riley was empower
ed by the City Council to associate for
mer City Counselor W. Hallam Claude
in the case at its trial before the
Court of Appeals. The record in the
case is being prepared and it will be
argued at the January term of the
Court

SUITS AGAINST ANNAPOLIS.
City's Legal Department Busy
At Present.

The City of Annapolis is the defend
ant in a suit aggregating in their
claims the sum of $l8, 600, besides be-
ing involved with the Short Line Rail
road Company in the Pinkney street
case, involving the right to the title
of certain property claimed as the bed
of streets.
There are three suits in which dam
ages are claimed in connection with
alleged changes of grades of city
streets. DR.. David N. K. Campbell,
a colored physician and citizen of the
Bermuda Islands, has sued the city for
$40, 600 in the United States District
Court of Baltimore. He claims that
ON account of the city's negligence
water was caused to flow into the cell
Lar he formerly occupied at the cerner
of Morris and Second stretes in An
napolis, and that thereby his property
and the health of the members of his
family were injured. DR.. Campbell
claims the right TO sue in United
States Court as an alien, having entered
pleas denying the cause of action of
the plaintiff and also questioning the
jurisdiction of the federal court. A
rule requiring the plaintiff to file
security for the costs in the case has
also been entered.
The other two cases arose from the
improvements on King George street.
Martin NJ. Smith and William K.
Feldmeyer are the plaintiffs in these
cases and they claim So, 900 and So, 200
respectively, on account of the con-
struciton of the bed of the street in
such way that their houses must be
raised. The suits have been entered
by titling by their counsel, Mr.. Robert
Moss. The declarations will be filed
shortly. Altogether considerable re-
sponsibility rests at present upon the
city's legal department..

Public Inspection Of ConnoIsssurs Desired.

In extending this invitation, | realize
that the present age, is one OF particular
DEMAND And those demands, having
established themselves by the PUBLIC il is
necessary for the progressive dealer to
make the most strenuous effort to meet the
DEMANDS of the public, no matter how
particular they may be, or who makes
them.
Seven years ago. noted the demand
for first-class LIQUOR STORE in theWest
End. The welfare Of the public required
a place where PURE LIQUORS could be
purchased. ! established my business
and made il practice to purchase none
but Pure Goods direct from Bond and
sold same at prices that de6ed any and
all competition. The public has appre-
ciated my efforts and treatment, and my
business has increased to such an extent
that have been forced to enlarge and
remodel my store, and to-day | have
the most complete and finished Stocked
Liquor House south of New York. A
store where none but the purest goods
are sold, and whsre can satisfy beyond
any controversy, or doubt in both price
and quality.

DAYS FIRST OPINION.
Case of Martin and Others Against
 Steamship Southwark,

Washinston, Oct. 1s.-Justiee Day of the United States Supreme Court delivered his hrst opinion in that court to-day in the case of Martin and others vs. the Steam. snip Southwark. The case involved the liability on the present steamship for the loss of fresh beef shipped on the vessel from Philadelphia to I-iverpool be- cause of lack of proper refrieeration.
 The bill of lading given at the time of shipment exonerated the carrier from all responsibility in case of loss and the trial court as we'll as the circuit court of appeals for the third circuit held tho vessel not to be liable.
 Justice Days opinion reversed that finding. He held that the Harter act of 1893 controls in the matter, and said the Supreme Court had made an original ex- animation into the facts which had suf- feed to convince its members that the vessel was not properly prepared in its refrigerating department to undertake to transport fresh beef. The opinion held that for the purpose named the vessel was not seaworthy Hence, he said. the decree should have been in favor of the shipper. The case was remanded.

6Rs. .RAILEY -HARRNp

MRS. BAILEY 8AR6GO. ]
 It seems that Mrs. Emma Reba Bailey, the ambitious Alabaima woman, now: liv- ing fin Washington, who has taken so many degrees in the study of law. has come to the end of all in that line that will be allowed to her sex. She cannot take the course which leads to the de- gree of Master of Diplomacy. No mat ter what her capacity the door is barred.
 Mrs. Bailey recently filed an applica- ton to pursue this course, but at meet ing of the faculty of the school of Com pafativea eaJurispfudence and Diplomacy in the Columbian University, it was resolved that:8 No woman should be admitted to the course leading to the degree of Mas ter of Diplomacy"
 A Washington exchange in commenting on the subject, says:
 f'It was also announced that this action was taken wholly without reference to the fitness or unfitness of any female ap- plicant, but largely because of the fact that there Is no place in the diplomatic or consular service of the United states for members of the gentler sex. Inas- much. however, as Mrs. Emma Reba Bailey, who was given the degree of doc tor of the civil law last spring against almost the united protest of the remainder of the class, had filed an application to pursue the course leading to the diplo- matic degree, and as a protest against favorable action on such application was on Tuesday evening entered by six stu dents of the class. the latter regard the eaculty's resolution as victory"
 Now the question is: Why did these vix. students protest? It is easy enough to see why. ''The faculty resolved to admit mo woman"
 A school depends upon its students for success and prosperity-in fact for con- tinuance of being. The students must be pleased.
 Is it the green-eyed monster? Suppose the United States has no diplomatic ser vice for one of the gentler sex. would it hurt the sterner sex that she should learn how 1t should be done? Could it be any injury to them that she should acquire this store of knowledge of which she can never make use? Are these stu dents interested in behalf of humanity, fin an economy of brain energy on the part of the gentler sex?
 Any way. don't women need "Daplo- macy?"
