Such alliances are so

to Baltimore Such alliances are so
seldom inside the confines of what is
known as fashionable or polite society,
that this particular case has resulted
in comment and protest No attempt
was mad e to conceal the racial affilia
tions OF the groom. The marriage IL
cense proclaimed him negro and while
waiting for the man who tied the knot,
the groom stated that they could not
be married at home on account of the
miscegenation laws of Maryland On
being asked whether he knew the par
ties were of different races. the clergy
man replied: "Well, | suspected it,
but he was so polite, cultured and we'll
dres sed that hesitated to ask ques
tions. He was almost as well-featured
as you or [. You know there are some
white people VINO have African features
and l was afraid of making some mis-
take by inquiring into the matter. Had.
l known positively that he was negro
l would not have married them" And
the race problem is still on, as Dr. Nc
Leod will probably find out before the
sound his otfense has produced dies
out of the mulberry trees.
1t will serve to make the common
run of humanity better connected with
their narrow environments to know
that the sometimes envied aristocracy
have their St. Helenas, their hours
and days of woe. The Baroness Hen
gelmuller, wife of the Austro-Hunga-
rian ambassador, is living witness to
the real sorrows that come to the titled
class Last week she went to Atlantic
City for few days of outside pleasure,
taking her retinue of servants for serv-
ice and couple of pet dogs for com
pany. Luxurious apartments had been
telegraphed for and awaited the arriv-
al of the baroness and friend, Mrs,
Richard Townsend of Philadelphia,
accompanied by three maids and three
dogs. When the party reported at the
hotel for temporary home, they were
assured there twas room at the inn"
for the bipeds, but, staggering revela-
ton, there was no room for single
puppy, much less five. So search be-
gan for a place where quadrupeds
would be sheltered and received on
plane with humanity. and after much
effort small caravansary of no repute
was found, and here the wealthy peo-
pie of rank who are accustomed to the
most palatial acc omodations the cap
ital affords, were allowed to enter,
dogs and all. Little wonder that Bar
oness Hengelmuller went to bed i'll
from disappointment and grief, or that
soon aftec she beat hasty retreat to
the headquarters of the embassy in
| Washington. Mrs. Townsend it is re-
ported, is still i'll and confined to her
room. Possibly those who read this
item may not suffer as much in year
as this Austrian female endured when
the dreadful slam of rejection was
measured out to her perfumed dogs.
Oh, the pity of it.
| Recent developments concerning the
law in reference to renovated" butter
indicate an anomalous condition in re.
lation to the same. Itappears that all
renovated butter made prior to July l,
1902, is not subject to taxation, and
quantities of the product have been
Kept in cold storage and is now being
thrown upon the market. The point
for the revenue officers land it would
seem to be fine one) is to equitably
distinguish between the taxable and
untaxable packages as they are offered
for sale. The treasury department,
which controls the internal revenue
officers. says to the department Of agri.
culture You have no power to judge
as to what is taxable; we have. We
, have no power to enforce the penalties
for violation you have. Well hunt ur
the offender oy discovering the dates
when old butter went into cold storage,
and when convicted the punishment,
rests with your department. Between
the two wide awake bureaus, the age
and comparative strength of the butter
placed ON the market ought to be
brought to the surface beyond the
shadow of q question.
