Roosevelt has concluded that the time
has arrived when the administration
must take a positive stand on the

Of the public land laws. He IS impress
ed with the fact that the pubic lano
ouestion has become leading ISSUE
throughout the west, and that there
&c q nonular clamor for radical
change in the existing statutes.
At the same time he finds a great
diversity of opinion among western
mon as to what changes should De
made. The president wishes to deal
with the question in his forthcoming
message in a way that will tend 70
hiring about concerted action at the
anroaching regular session OF congress
ond result in legislation that will cor
root the most fragrant abuses that are
committed under the present laws.
In order that he may deal WIN 'he
ouestion wisely yet conservatlvely the
president has called for the views o.

Seeing Spooks.

CHIRcHvILLE, August 17th.--Ghost
stories never seem credible. but the on,
| am going to tell is true. On the road
leading from McCann's Corner to Priest
Ford Bridge, on a gate post at MIR
George Silvcrs lane, Il ghost WAS seen hy
three persons who happened to be passing
there about eight O'Clock last Thursday
night. 1t seemed to be very tall figure
and was enrolled in white At first they
were going to examine it to see what it
really was, when one of them exclaimed
in a frightcned manner: ooh Ican't pass
it." Their courage being shaken by this
remark, they all took out in Il dead run
down the road. When at a safe distance
they glanced over their shoulders only to
see the frightful, ungainly object walking
up the road i'll the opposite direction.
Others have been known to pass this
place at all hours i'll the night and never
noticed anything of the kind, and it seem-
cd strange to every one that these alone
should see it.

of whom live near Havre de Grace, Md,
took advantage of anexcursiol from the
latter place to COLCHESTER Beach yester-
day to evade the watchful eye of the
young lady's mother and get married.
The ceremony was performed at Towson.
MIR. Evans is 81 years old and his wife is
three years his junior.
There was an excursion yesterday on
the steamer Susquehanna from Havre de
Grace to Colchester. Mrs. Smith and her
daughter were among the excursionists.
Mr.. Evans also boarded the boat. Later
he sought Miss Smith, but his presence
was not discovered by the mother until
after COLCHESTER had been reached. As
the steamer Louise started for Baltimore
the couple boarded her. This fact was
not discovered by Mrs. Smith until after
the boat had lett the pier.
Upon reaching Baltimore the couple
took a car for Towson, and last night
they gained the consent of Deputy Clerk
Martin ]. O'Hara to go to the court
house, where a license was issued The

manner by large entry list.
The directors have about closed every
necessary detail looking to a tirst-clasS
exhibition and all that is now needed for
success will be clear weather, which OF
course no one can vouchsafc. The sea-
son falls at a time when the farmers are
not very busy and the canning houses
will not commence to pack their goods
until September, so everyone should take
| n holiday and come and see the many at
tractive things that have been gathered
together. Much intelligent hard work
has been spent on this exhibition, more
than is usual in such cases, and all the
directors ask in turn for their hard work,
a liberal appreciation by the public. The
season tickets, good for all four days of
the Fair, will not be withdrawn from
sale until after the 22nd. This liberal
rate should serve as an impetus towards
increasing the attendance.
One of the most interesting exhibits
will be that ofthe Maryland Agricultural
Experiment Station, which will be shown
in large tent on the grounds. Much
that is interesting to the husbandmen
will be explained, and a visit will repay
any one for the time spent in learning
the scientific parts of agriculture. The
track amusements and music are more
extensive then heretofore attempted,
and the entertainment that they will
give, irtermingled with the spirited rae
ing, will make the time pass all too
quickly.
With everything in readiness, it now
rests with the people themselves to say
whether or not they wish these annual
exhibitions to be made permanent. If
the exhibits and attendance do not justify |
it, no one can blame the directors for |
being discouraged in their future work,
as it is great personal sacrifice, without
any remuneration, more than an az
preciative public, so if our people want a
Fair it is now up to them" to show tie
same both by making exhibits and add
ing to the list of visitors that are ex-
pected each day.

BASE BALL,

The game of base ball last Saturday
was won by Bel Air by score G to f.
The game was scheduled with the Clifto
Athletic Club, of Baltimore. who sent 4
picked team of players from different
clubs to represent them. Both sides made
a number of errors. while the pitchers
both pitched winning ball. Bowling was
in his usual good form, having the op,
posing club at his mercy, and struck out
ten men. In nine innings but 80 men
faced him. Atkinson was very effective,
the Bel Air boys being unable to connect
with his BALL Hanwav and Calder led
at the bat, while Eddie and Jim Carroll
carried off the fielding llonors. Selvege
caught his usual good game, and his
coaching and steady stream of talk did
much toward encouraging the home
team in tight places.
Next Saturdays contest promises to
be the greatest game of the season and
will be played with the Maryland Athletic
Club Reserves, the strong amateur team
of Baltimore with the great pitchers,
Russell and Lawrence. This team has
played and beaten some of the best clubs
in the State and will put up a royal
battle, as Bel Air claims to equal them,
and this game will go far towards prov
ing which is the best team in Hartford
county.
