Tile people of Orangeville and High.
landtown are complaining very mucn ABOUT
what they say is the bad quality OF water
furnished from Herring run by the Baltimore
County Water and Electric Company. They
say it is not filtered and declare that it is not
even fit to wash clothes in. Surely this is
condition of affairs that should be remedied at
once.
- Four months have elapsed since the
great fire in Baltimore and q ride through the
burned district today shows that very little has
been done towards rebuilding. Here and there
house is going up, but the streets present al
most as desolate appearance as they did week
after the fire. Many more months will come
and 90 before the old town will begin to as
| sumo anything like its old-time familiar look.
- The report of the Baltimore weather bu-
reau shows that for the past thirty-three years

| ture was 76 The coolest was in 1903 when the
| average was 81. The warmest day was June
Both, 1901, when 99degrees was recorded. The
average rainfall in June during the thirty-three
| years has been 3.78.
| Rules for Rural Carriers.-On Monday
lsst the Postofice Department issued the fol.
lowing rules for the government OF rural mail
| carriers: :
"Under the law rural carriers are not per-
mitted to solicit business or receive orders of
| any kind from any person, firm or corporation,
| and cannot during the hours of their employ
| ment, carry any merchandise for hire, except
that they may carry merchandise FOR hire for
| and at the request Of patrons residing on their
| respective routes, provided the same shall not
| interfere with the proper discharge of their
| official duties, and under such regulations as
the Postmaster General may prescribe.
Under this provision of law no mailable
matter may be handled by rural carriers while
serving their routes, unless the proper postage
has been prepaid, with the single exception Of
| county newspapers, which, under the law, are
subscribers, and such newspapers addressed to
subscribers, residents on rural routes, must be
deposited at the postoffice, the same as papers
| for other subscribers.
1.-THE hire for merchandise carried on request
| of the patrons of rural free delivery must be
paid by the patron. Carriers will not be per-
mitted to receive any compensation from the
seller of such merchandise.
Articles or packages which are mailable
which are handed to the carrier or deposited in
the postoffice or in a rural letter-box or in a
collection box located on rural route, with
request that the rural carrier deliver the same,
| are subject to the rules regulating mail matter,
including the payment of postage thereon,
Articles, or packages, that are not mailable,
which the patron desires the rural carriers to
carry. must be delivered to the carrier to carry
in person, and in carrying merchandise for
hire rural carriers are not permitted to leave
their routes as officially laid out or to accept
anything that will in any way delay the de-
| livery OF the mall, or IN any way Interfere
with the efficiency of the service"
Second National Sustains Heavy Loss
But In no Way Impaired.-The Belair Dem
oerat of last week said: THE expert accoun.
tant who has been investigating the accounts OF
defaultine Cashier Finney for the past month
has nearly finished his labors. No report oil
the result has been made, but enough has been
learned to believe that the populations have
been going on for seven or eight years and that
the aggregate default may reach S4O,OOO. The
bank will be reimbursed TO the extent OF the
liability of the bond ($15, OOO and the value Of
Mr.. Finney's property.
1.-THE bank had prior to the discovery of the
default about $32 900 in surplus and undivided
profits. The application OF the refunded prop
erty and undivided profits to the replacement OIL
the stolen money and securities will leave thu
net loss from SIS 600 to 800 600 not more than II
often lost by others from bad investments. The
bank will have its capital stock unimpalreo
condition that substantiates our first statement
that while the stock holders individually have
sustained loss in the depreciation of the value
of their stock, the depositors are amply pro
tected and the bank safe and in good working
order and worthy as it has enjoyed during TIT
Investigation, of the continued confidence o
the public.
"The reasons for Finney's default are tot
we'll known to need repeating here and convey
lesson that will protect the bank from future
| losses from the same OF slmllhT causes. Ina
this view is shared by the public is evidenced
by the fact that the bank has suffered no lost
of confidence or patronage in its business pres
ent or prospective, and the proffered proof tina
its deposits are today over $3.50, 600 as large a
at any true since its organization"
The Weeks End Outing.-An exchang
says that the Saturday hall. holiday during tn
summer months is rapidly increasing in popu
larity with employers as well as employees is
hopeful sign in this age of strenuosity. It in
dictates return to sanity after long period o
what has closely resembled commercial mad
ness. Five days and q half thou shalt labor
is the summer version of the beginning OF tba
command in Genesis and the recreation tha
is now enjoyed on the half Of the sixth is tn
best preparation in the world for the rest tina
follows on the seventh. As more and NOR
people accept this new version of an old com
mand it is not inconceivable that something G
: the Joy OF working as well as the JOY Of Twin
: will return to people that are noticeably bias
in their attitude toward all those things whic
do not pertain to the piling up of the almight
dollar.
Fortunately, no American city has yet sue
