STATE AID TO
PUBLIC ROADS.

As means of explaining easily and
clearly the principal features of the
new law for state aid and road build
ing in Maryland which becomes oper-
alive January l, 1905, a concise brief
pamphlet is to be issued by the High
way Division Of the Maryland Geo
logical Survey for the use Of Boards
of County Commissioners and resi-
dents throughout the state. The large
interest which has been taken in many
parts O: the state in the new State
Aid Road Law has made it advisable
to cmbody in this pamphlet all the in
formation necessary for County Com
missi, ncrs and individuals who wish
to proceed under the act, and it al
80 contains, in form ready and accessi-
bic, information Of greatest interest
upon the state fund available for this
purpose to secure scientifically con-
structed roads at one half the cost.
Information concerning state aid
appropriation is undoubtedly of live
Hest interest at this time and the
Maryland Geological Survey has gone
to no little pains to supply quantity
of detailed information upon this par
tieular topic, especially table, hither-
to unpublished, which has been COM
piled to show the exact allotment
which each county of the state will
receive under the new law. The lat
ter which becomes operative on Janu-
airy l, 1905, makes available for State
aid in road building 5000, 900 annually
to be apportioned according to the
ratio that the miles of road in each
county bear to the total highway mile
age of the state and in each case con-
siderable sum is at the disposal OF the
residents of the county to defray half
the expense.
Baltimore and Frederick counties
arc entitled to the largest appropra-
ton by virtue of their respective large
highway mileages, 49, and l,l5l miles
respectively. Baltimore county will
have Sl4,479 81 and Frederick county
sl4 1913 50.
OF the other countries, Garrett will
receive $l2,l63 Sc; Hartford. $40, $50.
65; Montgomery, $lo,326.O6; Prince
Georges, Sill, 1924, and Worcester,
$lO,766.O5. If all the counties do not
take up their full allowance the bal
ance is to be reapportioned among tie
remaining counties which are ready
to undertake road building.
The pamphlet is to be published in
an attractive form similar TO the re-
ports of the Maryland Geological Sur
vey, and will be sent to all persons in
terested, who will apply to the Survey
at the Johns Hopkins University.

CortelyOu's Department of Commerce
and Labor is trying hard to find out
which of its officials are directly respon
ible for the General Slocum holocaust in
the East River. There is no distinguish
ing the fact that the blame rests directly
upon some of Contiguous inspectors
But when they are punished, if such
contamination can be hoped for, some
blame viii! still rest upon Congress itself
The most astounding revelations in con-
nection with it is the provision Of law
which pays inspectors according to the
number of steamboats, they are liable to
certify to having examined in year! Of
course this is direct incentive to care
lessness and utter rccklcssness. 1t offers
a premium for perjury and prize for
neglect of duty. Under this law inspec
tors who do not inspect are paid three
times as much as those who do, on the
sole condition that they are ready and ex-
pert liars What kind of Congressman
were they who enacted such a law.
At the beginning of the school vaca-
ton this week 4 murmur goes through
the city protesting against snch short
school year. Allowing for holidays, natio
nal and optional, school is held only about
one half the days in the year. At this
there is an indignant rc:nonstance rising.
1t is felt that children have their feet in
the road altogether too much and that the
sympathy for oyerworked students has
been altogether oyerdone. No other
working people in the world have so
many holidays in the year with pay as
the school teachers and it is strongly felt
and studying too little. A revolution in
this matter is at hand.

CROP REPORT.

The temperature conditions during the
week ended June q in the districts east
of the Mississippi river were more favor
able than in the preceding week, but Acre
less SO in the upper Missouri valley and
in the Rocky mountain and North Pacific
coast districts, where it was abnormally
cool, with heavy frosts, more or less dam
aging, in the eastern portions of Wash
ington and Oregon and in Utah, Idaho
and Northern Arizona. Rain is generally
needed in the lake region, Ohio valley and
the Atlantic coast and East Gulf States,
although portions of these districts have
received generous rains, while the states
of the lower Missouri valley and portions
of Minnesota and North Dakota have suf-
fered from excessive moisture. On the
Pacific coast the weather conditions have
been more favorable in California, but
Oregon and Washington have suffered
considerably from drought and low tenn
peratures.
In Iowa and in the principal corn states
eastward of the Mississippi river corn
has made good progress and is we'll cul-
tivated, rapid growth being generally re-
ported. Rapid growth is also reported
from Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska,
but in these states cultivation has been
hindered, particularly in Missouri and
Nebraska, where many fields are grassy.
A large crop is practically assured in Tex
as, but drought has impaired the outlook
in the Central and East Gulf and South
Atlantic states
The progress of wheat harvest in Kan
sas and Missouri has been interrupted by
rains, but this work has proceeded with
out interference east of the Mississippi
river and is now in progress as far north
as the southern portions Of Illinois and
Indiana and in Virginia and Maryland.
Some lodging and rust are reported from
Nebraska and Missouri, and dry weather
has fastened maturity in Michigan, but
elsewhere the crop has advanced favor
ably, will filled heads being generally re-
ported In California harvesting contin-
ues with light yields in most sections; in
Oregon and Washington heads are filing
nicely.
While the general condition of spring
wheat is somewhat less promising than
previously indicated, the outlook con-

METHODISTS HAVE MUCH WORK ID DO Several New Bishops Are to be
 Elected WILL DISCUSS DIVORCES
Church Will Also be Placed on Record on Amusem ents Such as Dane Ing, Card Playing Thea
 ire Going, Etc.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 15.-Today was welcomed by the delegates to the Metho- dist general conference as a day of rest after a week of continuous sessions, either of the conference or of the various com mittees. While enough visiting bishops and ministers volunteered their services to the pulpit supply committee to fill every pulpit m the city and suburban towns at both morning and evening services the great body of delegates rested.
 The happiness of yesterdays session Of the general conference, when a vote was taken upon the retirement of five bishops furnished a live topic of discussion among the delegates today. The general opinion of the delegates is that when the report IS given tomorrow morning it will show decided majority in favor of the report or the episcopacy committee recommending the retirement of Bishops Vincent, Wal den, Andrews, Mallalieu and Floss.
 It is quite likely that the election of eight, possibly more bishops. will take place during the present week. Other matters that will come before the con- ference this week are:
 Action of the Methodist church upon divorce, consolidation of the various branches of the book concern, limiting tenue of pastorates, placing the church on record in the matter of amusements, viz: Dancing, card playing, theatre-goin, etc., and many other matters that have been brought up in memorials from diff ferent conferences. The number of can didates for bishop grows daily, and no less than thirty-fice names are now men, tioned in this connection.

REPORTS ARE CONTRADICTORY.
Liverpool Cloth Market Showed Con-
 siderable Weakness.

Manchester. May 15.-Reports regarding the cloth business last week were diver gent and contradictory, though producers were somewhat better engaged. There was some cratic improvement in the de- mand for China, but nevertheless the week was disappointing to most of the sellers. The weakness in the Liverpool market proved prejudicial to trade in India shirtings, though there were fur ther transactions in the lighter fabrics. The nearer continental outlets were fair ly busy. For Egypt and the Levant, the inquiry was comparatively good. In- quiries for printing and finished goods for delivery in the winter season in oc- casional orders were. however, dull
 Yarns were somewhat healthier in tone and many showed less hesitancy to over rate for some time past. Spinners of medium and finer American counts are maintaing their quotations, and keeping moderately well engaged

 The fire was of incendiary origin When the fire department arrived 1t found the building on fire at four widely separate places. The fires had all been started from the outside of The building
 As usual with fires recently the alarm was not turned in for some time after the fire was started, and the entire inside of The store was abaze when the department arrived
 MT. Screws claims that he had q stock valued at $1200 in the store, and states that he had it covered by $500 insurance. The Birmingham Underwriters Real Estate and Rental company were the agents of the building which was worth about $500 and it is said that it was covered by in- Burance.
