Jim Crow Bills Pass the HOu Sc.

The two Jim Crow car bills introduced
by Mr.. Kerbin, of w orcester county, pass
ed the House Wednesday, the negative
votes being cast by the Republicans. One
bill provides for separate coaches fer two
races on railroads, except through trains,
throughout the state The other provides
for separate accommodations on all steam
boat lines plying in Maryland waters.
Two Jim Crow bills, both of which
Mr. Brewington is the author, have pass
ed the Senate. The bills relating to
steamboat accommodations for the two
races is the same as the House bill. The
railroad bills are, however, different.
The Senate bills apply to all the Eastern
Shore counties except Cecil and to South
ern Maryland counties, while the House
bills apply to the whole state, excepting
only through express trains on the trunk
lines.
When the bills came up in the House
Wednesday for final passage there was no
general debate. Mr.. Pairo, Republican,
of Baltimore city; Mr. Johnston, Demo
crat, of Montgomery, and Mr.. Amiss, of
Montgomery, made few remarks ex-
planning their vote.

An Amateur Detective.

The Baltimore american of Wednesday
says: "Mr. B. B. Levin, of Upper Marl'
boro', Md, while on his way to this city
Monday night took off his overcoat while
aboard railroad train. At Odenton, Md,
= number Of persons left the car and Mr..
Levin dozed off. When the train arrived
in Baltimore he reached for his coat, but
it was gone and another had been left in
its place. He took the coat and went i'm
mediately to detective headquarters and
reported his loss. He reasoned that as a
number of passengers had alighted from
the train at Odenton one of them might
have taken his coat in mistake, so he
went to Annapolis early yesterday morn
ing He sought out the senator from
Upper Marlboro and told him of the
trouble. A tour of the courtroom of both
the Senate and the House was made, but
to no avail The senator and his friend
were standing in the doorway discussing
the matter, when Levin saw a man ap-
preaching who had on his coat. The
exchange of coats was hastily made, to
the embarrassment Of the second party,
who stated that he had seen his mistake
soon after alighting from the train at
Odenton."

come "Well done, good and faithful
servant, enter into the joy of thy Lord"
The memory of her beautiful life will re-
main as a benediction with those who
knew and loved her.
We clasped her hands upon her breast,
We kissed her lovely brow.
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no darling now.
Her busy hands are folded,
Her work on earth is done;,
Her trials now are ended and
A heavenly crown she's won.
Weep not for me dear husband,
1t would cause me pain.
Trust in Him who took me from you
And in Heaven We'll meet again.
When you ask us do we miss her;
Yes, it fills our hearts with pain;
But her spirit softly whispers,
Weep not; in Heaven we shall meet again
Fold her hands in silent slumber,
For her work on earth is done;
In her dreams she saw the Master,
And he beckoned her to come
We miss thee from our home, darling;
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow DER our life is cast;
We miss the sunshine of thy face
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee.
We miss thee everywhere.
By HER HUSBAND.

Cannot Obtain Damages on las s

The question as to whether a passenger
on railroad train, riding on a free pass,
who loses his life on account of all act of
carelessness on the part of the railroad
company, stands on the same footing as
passenger who pays his fare was Tues
day decided by the United States Supreme
Court against the free passenger.
The case in which the opinion was rem
dered was that of the Northern Pacific
Railway Company VS.. Louise II. Adams
and Frank H. Adams, heirs of Jay H.
Adams, an attorneyat-la of Spokane,
Washington, in 1898.
Mr.. Adams was riding on pass which
contained stipulation exempting the
railway company from liability in case
of accident The Federal Circuit Court
for the District of Washington State
awarded damages to the extent of $14 900
and the Circuit Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit affirmed this judgement.
The opinion of the Supreme Court was
handed down by Justice Brewer and re-
versed the lower courts. The Supreme
Court held that there could be no higher
measure of duty to the heirs than to Adj
ans himself and that there is nothing in
public policy to prevent a contract be
tween common carrier and free
passenger exempting the carrier fro m
liability in case of accident.
The company, it said waived its right
to exact compensation from Adams. He
was not in the power Of the company and
obliged to accept its terms. He freely
and voluntarily chose to accept the privi-
lege offered. and, having accepted that
privilege, the court said cannot repudi-
ate its conditions

or excite our surprise, but it does seem
that death which occurs at twenty years
of age, as in the case of this young man,
is hard to be borne by the surviving rela

qualities-industriou honest and faithful
in all those qualities which go to make up
a worthy man. He died on tie night of

Meeting Of the School Boar j.

A special meeting of the School Board
was held on Tuesday, with all the mem

The following memorial was presented
and unanimously adopted:
To the Hon. G. neral ASSEMBLY, Of Ma gland:
The School Board of Prince Georges
county feels constrained to state that in
their opinion all that is necessary in the
Town of Hyattsville is an addition to the
building which is in good condition, but
possibly too crowded. We represent that
this Board is now in debt and We are com
PEELED to ask larger appropriation from
the county to keep the schools open, and
in the interest of public education we do
earnestly request that no act be passed
requiring the County Commissioners to
levy on all the taxpayers of the county to
pay bonds for any school building, but
that the discretion be left. at least, in the
County Commissioners whom the people
have selected to manage their finances,
and, while desiring to do al! in their pow
er to encourage the laudable ambition of
those who wish to improve educational
facilities, we feel no act should be passed
requiring the County Commissioners to
levy $4,000 to build a school house or
issue bonds therefor unless, in the discre-
ton of those controlling the finances, it
is necessary. We have already been com
PEELED for want of funds to close the col
ored schools
