PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT gave the Republicans
of Maryland great surprise on Monday by
naming Mr.. W. Hall Harris, a Baltimore
lawyer of high standing as the successor Of
Mr.. s. Davies Warfield, postmaster of Balti-
more city. Several gentlemen had been prom
inently mentioned in connection with this
office and it was thought by many that Gen.
J. Stuart Macdonald had been practically set
tied upon for it. But the President seemed to
have something up his sleeve in the person
of new and previously unnamed man and
when he sprung that of Mr.. Harris it came to
the regular Republicans of Baltimore city
as thunder clap from clear sky. A dispatch
from Washington to the Baltimore 4nericdn
said: 1.-THE appointment of Mr.. Harris to be
postmaster of Baltimore is of the greatest sig
nificance politically, for it is interpreted here
to indicate that Senator McComas has served
notice upon Collector Stone that he shall not
be reappointed to his present office when his
term expires. Senator McComas indicated that
Mr.. Stones friends would draw no pleasure
from Mr.. Harris appointment. Continuing
the Senator said: That element of our party
which no longer believes Collector Stones
methods and influence to be beneficial to the
party in the State holds that these methods do
not make the party attractive to conservative
persons who may come to it, and they feared
that Gen. ]. Stuart Macdonald, however I'M
Objectionable personally, might, when once in
the postofice, entrench Collector Stone in pow
er. General MacDonald's defeat, therefore, is
ominous for Mr.. Stones candidacy for third
term as Collector of the Port of Baltimore. :"
Mr.. Harris is the senior member of the law firm
of Harris & Thompson and is the son of the
late Hon. J. Morrison Harris, of Baltimore
county, who is believed to have been once cleo
ted Governor of Maryland, but who did not
get the office. 1t is said that the nomination
of Mr.. Harris will be promptly confirmed by
the Senate.

A School Teacher without Arms.

y
Possessed of only stumps of arms, Abraham
B. Myers, of York county, is one of the most
remarkable, as we'll as one of the most success
full, hunters in Pennsylvania. On the opening
day of the late season he killed seven rabbits
and two squirrels, and has shot as many as 30
squirrels in one day. He has rifle and shotgun
made especially for his own use. Below the
stock of his gun is an iron ring large enough to
admit the stump of his left arm, while to the
trigger a strap is attached, the end of which he
grips with his teeth, and is the means of dis
charging the gun. Myers attained his great
ability as a marksman by persistent practicing
shooting at clay shells and stationary marks.
His record in shooting contests at live birds is
enviable.
When IS years old, while working in the
limestone quarry on his fathers farm, Myers
arms were so badly lacerated by Premature
blast that in order to save his life both were
amputated above the elbow. He was not dis
mayed, but resolved to make the most of life.
He read many biographies of selfmade men,
which implanted in his mind the desire for an
education, and he prepared himself for the pro-
fession of school teaching. With that end in
view he began to practice writing, holding the
pen between the stumps of his arms without
artificial assistance. His progress was rapid
and the following year he matriculated in the
Shippensburg State Normal School, graduating
with the class of '86.
Since then he has been teaching in the dis
trict schools of York and Lancaster counties
His chirography is very legible the marks of
his pen looking like models from copybooks.

MR.. PEARCE'S REPLY TO MR.. KOLK

GLEN-ARM, Nd, December 18th, 1904.
Messrs. Editors lin the issue of THE UNION
dated December nth had an article on Rural
Free Delivery. It was my intention to let the
matter rest at that and should have done so had
not Mr.. Kolk in your last issue made an attack
upon me. seriously rejecting upon my personal
character, so that feel that should not allow
his remarks to go unchallenged. Here wish to
say that will indulge in no further discussion,
no matter what may be said.
In regard to the assertion that only Mr.. Refer
and myself are benefciaries others may en-
tighten him upon that point. So far as the de-
livery of meat is concerned, deliver any un-
mailable parcel as an accommodation to patrons
for cents. This is allowed by the Department
One of his most serious charges is that with
reference to the securing of signers on the petit
ton. What could say here would scarcely be
proof, and no doubt there are many who can
show him his error.
He again errs in reference to the time on the
star route. Mr.. Charles Russell, who carried the
mail on that route for several years, informs me
that the starting time at Long Green Station
was A. NJ, but as is often the case with the
rural carrier, a few minutes may be gained, and
that his time at Long Green P, o. was from els
to $50 and about Is to 20 minutes later at Mr..
Kolk's gate. The rural carrier reaches Long
Green at 10 A. NJ. and Mr.. Kolks about 1O.15, so
it will be seen that there is actually less than
one hour difference. But really where only one
mail is given one or two hours is of small impor-
lance.
In regard to the Ak miles where deliver no
mail do not know where it is. Possibly he re-
fers to Dulany's Valley, where there is post
Office and star route and just 10 houses. Yet
deliver mail there, and there is not continuous
stretch of X miles where do not deliver mail.
AS to the number of families being, as / said,
about 200, this is no doubt excessive, as had not
made an actual count. The official report gives
1913 houses, but they only count the ones In sight
and 1 thought there were about so not in sight,
but on closer examination find only about $3.50
will say about $50 instead of 200. Yet this con-
cession still leaves Mr.. Kolk far from the light
number. 81
Mr.. Kolk informs us that mail was not taken
from an approved box when it had been there
two days. No doubt he refers to the case of Mr..
Charles J. Jannke, who informed me that he
forgot to raise his signal on the box, 90 dRcourse
had no way of knowing there was anything in it..
The Department does not expect nor do be-
lieve it would allow me to lose time examining
every box to see If there is mail in it. A signal
must be provided.
I wish Mr. Kolk would learn to be more accu-
rate in his statements and less personal, as his
position is perfectly plain to us all
9Ee TRoMAs O. PEARCE.
This discussion must end right here. If there
is anything more to be said on the subject it
must be paid for at regular advertising rates.

We ARE STRONGLY of the opinion that Tow
son should have line of electric road running
into the northeast part of the county and ex-
tending into northern Hartford. Along the
State line from Delta to the Northern Central
Railway is a section of country more than
twenty miles wide, that has no transportation
facilities, which would be a most valuable ter
ritory for an electric road to penetrate. Be-
sides, if such a road was properly built might
it not be pushed across the Susquehanna and
connected with the roads on that side? The
York County Traction Company would at once
extend its road from Dallastown to meet this
line. As the leisure season is now on we think
the people of the upper end of Baltimore and
Hartford counties should interest themselvesin
this subject and talk the matter up, SO as to
call the attention of capitalists to what they
would have to offer in rights of way, etc.
THE APPOINTMENT of Mr.. w. Hall Harris as
postmaster of Baltimore city is source of in
finite satisfaction to THE UNION. For several
years this important office has been bone of
contention with the Republican politicians of
Maryland, large and small, and for a few
months past all sorts of stories coming from
Washington and purportipg to be more or less
authentic, have been published in the Balti-
more papers, the chief point of which has been
the getting together of certain leaders who
were to promptly end this contention for good
and all. Evidently the President grew tired of
this chiId's play, took the matter into his own
hands and named man who is eminently fit
to fill the position and one who will be credit
to the city and State. Mr.. Harris is not
politician. He has never held Office and never
sought one. but he is every way qualified and
a credit to his party. Gossips say that Mr..
Charles J. Bonaparte made him postmaster.
This may be true and it may not-most likely
not. But if he did he can be congratulated
upon doing mighty good days work when
he did it.
