A SOUTH ORANGE On. ~ inventor has pro-
duced an automatic telegraph machine which
promises a wholesale revolution in the mes
sage sending industry, says the Lancaster
Examiner. He claims for it that it will land
thousand word letter in a business office in
Chicago half an hour after the words are die
tated in New York. A stenographer punches
out the message on a tape, which is then fed
to the transmitting machine. One minute
suffices to reproduce the punched characters at
the other end of the line. Another stenog-
rapher translates them. The cost to the sem
der in New York Chicago instance should be
from 10 to II cents. Not alone telegraphy as
we know it will suffer if the South Orange ap-
paratus. There will be serious inroads on the
mail business and the postal deficit will grow.
Who of the prosperous will bother with pen,
ink and postage stamps when an automatic
punching machine is waiting to kill both
trouble and time? Obviously, in self-defense
and in defense of the postal civil service list.
Uncle Sam will be driven to the purchase of
the new message sender. Hence we may per-
ceive that necessity, being already the mother
of Invention, is destined to be the grandmother
of the Government telegraph. 1t is no wonder
the grand old art of letter writing is lost one.
1t has no longer personality. 1t is matter Of
machines which have no soul.

Mr.. JOHN e. HUR T, one of Baltimore city's
most highly esteemed and wealthy merchants
and head of the widely known dry goods firm
of John E. Hurst q Co.. died on Wednesday
last, from the effects of an operation for
growth in the neck. His death was very sud-
den and came as great shock to the commu-
nifty in which Mr.. Hurst was SO well known
and so highly thought of for his many excel
lent qualities. He was a native of Dorchester
county, Md, and embarked in business in
Baltimore when very young man. His life
was an active one, not only in connection with
his private affairs, but also in public matters,
and in every relation of life he was man who
challenged the respect of all. In 1896 Mr..
Hurst was the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor and was beaten by Hon. Lloyd Lowndes.
The wife of Mr. Hurst, who is now visiting
married daughter in Egypt is daughter of
the late DR.. Ephraim Bell, who was promi-
nent physician of New Market, Baltimore
county. They have large family, all grown.

how to Farm at a Profit


Everywhere the observer goes he will see
farmers trying to make 20acre manure and 90
acre labor suffice for the 30acre farm. In
every case he will see failure, loss, worry, vex-
alton and disappointment written all over the
farms. In Holland, Denmark and other crowd
ed European countries astonishing returns
are secured from farms that, according to the
American idea, are ''mere garden patches.
The secret is the matching of manure and
work with given area of land so as to force
the land to yield its maximum crops. In those
countries no man plants more land than he is
able TO manure fully and to work thoroughly.
American farmers should initiate their exam
ME. You NAV own 100 or 200 acres of land
but in case your manure and labor available
are enough for only so or rs acres you should
plant only so or rs acres. Many intelligent
farmers are coming to understand the business
error involved in spreading out too much.
The farmer whose plan for the year calls for
the work of five men must expect trouble II he
can hire only four men. Perhaps the four
men may get the crops into the ground, but
they can't make mp for the work OF the fifth
man in blowing, hoeing, cultivating, polling,
bushing. wedding mulching, picking, digging,
husking, packing threshing. hauling, storing
and shipping. In every process the work will
fall one-fifth short of perfection, and over
worked. underpaid and dissatisfied, and the
farmer finds quantity and quality so inferior
that he cannot command the top prices current
in the market There is an old advice adage:
Don't bite off more thar you can chew"
The advice is good for all business men, and
for the farmer more than for any other pro-
Queer.

The object of this suit is to procure divorce
vinculo matrimonii by the plaintiff from the
defendant.
The bin states that the parties were married
August Sd, 1895. and the abandonment took place
on 22d day of March. 1897, and that said abandon
ment has been deliberate, intentional and un1n-
terrupted for period over six years and the
separation is without any hope of reconcilia-
ton; that there is no minor child born of said
marriage; that the plaintiff is resident of Bal
timore county, State of Maryland, and the de-
PENDANT is non resident of the State of Mary
land.
It is thereupon ordered this 9th day of Janua-
ry 1904. that the plaintiff by causing copy of
this order to be inserted in some newspaper pub
lished in Baltimore county, once in four success
sve weeks before the 9Th day of February, 1904,
give notice to the said absent defendant of the
object and substance of this bill, and warning
her to appear in this court, in person or by
solicitor,
On or before the 25th day of February, 1904,
to answer the premises and show cause, if any
she has, why decree should not be passed as
prayed.

LETTER FROM ANNAPOLIS.
STATE HOUSE. ANNAPOLIS, Nd, /,
r-- al. 1nol I


STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS, Nd,
January 9th, 1904.
The General Assembly met at noon today and
was promptly organized by the election Of Spen-
Ger G. Jones. Of Montgomery county, as Presi-
dent Of the Senate, and DR.. George Y. Eyerhart,
of Baltimore county, as Speaker Of the House.
The proceedings were tanner and more unin-
teresting than for years, and while the crowd in
attendance was large, most of the people there
did not seem to care what was going on.
Both houses met in the new State House an
mex, which, though only partly completed, will
be much more convenient and comfortable than
the old time honored rooms where the space was
small and the members were cramped in their
seats. The new building promises to be hand
some when completed, but It certainly is not an
artistic triumph at the present time.
Baltimore county was honored by the selec-
ton of DR.. Everhart for Speaker, and the new
official promises to make an excellent presiding
officer. He was coached in his new duties by
that veteran of many sessions, Mr.. Walter Il.
Townsend, who sat beside him on his throne
during the entire session.
Mr.. Townsend is apparently tout in the cold, y
as he was not made Reading Clerk, position he
has held at every session controlled by the DEM
ocrats since 1885. He was good Reading Clerk,
but he committed the objectionable political
sin he ventured to differ with the local leaders
of his party. Hence he is undergoing punish
ment, which he seems to bear with a sad sort of
resignation, and is expected to join the forces
Of the third house, where he is as familiar with
the duties as any man in the State. Probably
no man in Maryland understands better than
Mr.. Townsend the workings of the third house,
and, as he has been there before, he will be per-
fectly at home.
The Democratic leaders, from Mr.. Rasin down,
were on hand moving things" and as their ma
jority is large they expect to run things to the
end OF the session. Their nrst important work
will be to knock out Mr.. Rayner's Senatorial
aspirations and elect one of their own men,
either Ex-Governor Jackson or Governor Smith,
as Mr.. Germans colleague at Washington. They
also intend to administer some strong knocks to
the election law, and they have various other
things on their program which will be noted
from time to time in THE UNION as the session
grows older.
Next Wednesday Governor-elect Warfield viii
be inaugurated with grand display. What he
will do no one knows, for he is keeping his plans,
If he has any, to himself.
