THE LAUREL HIGH SCHOOL,

The advantages afforded by this
PROSPEROUS and useful Institution do
not seem to be properly appreciated
by the people OF the county. With
ample facilities for furnishing a liberal
education to several hundred pupils,
with an accomplished corps of instruc-
tors, with a beautiful building and
grounds-in fact, with everything to
make it attractive, the school is not
patronized as it should be. Pupils
will be received into the best families
in Laurel at a charge of only $12 per
month for board. A steam railway
and an ell, ctric road furnish easy and
cheap transportation for children liv-
ing in the many suburban towns ex-
tending from the District line to Lau-
rel, and it is most surprising that so
few avail themselves OF these advan-
tages. The instruction afforded at
the High School is OF a high order,
embracing not only classical and COM
mercial courses, but also music and
manual training. W. trust the citi-
zens of our county, who have ambitious
children to educate, may investigate
the rare opportunities afforded by this
school and patronize it more extern
sivelv.

JOHN e. HURST.

The Baltimore "Herald' in COM
menting on the death of Mr.. John E.
Hearst, who died in Baltimore on
Wednesday, says:
No death in this community for
many years has been such a shock as
that of Mr.. John f. Hurst. Even the
newspapers did not know that he was
seriously i'll and the end came SO sud
denly that those nearest and dearest
to him were utterly unprepared for it.
1t is not easy to write a correct ap.
probation of Mr.. Hurst's character
and career. He made no claim to
what is called popularity and yet We
doubt if there was a nan in Baltimore
more popular in the sense OF public
recognition founded upon the deep
est respect. He was a fa%rsighted mer'
chant, a prudent business man, a are
full citizen and a man who MAS as well
balanced in all the solid merits OF
character as any whom Baltimore has
ever known. He was the kind OF
merchan. who gave to Baltimore its
best reputation as a conservative city,
and it must be understood that his
conservatism was not of the donoth'
ing kind, for he was a hard worker, a
man OF action, a seeker for results; a
successful man in all the affairs in
which he engaged. Men of Mr.. Hurst's
typc did more to make Baltimore the
metropolis Of the South than all the
corporation promoters, for what he
brought to his city was actual gain
and not mere paper reputation.
His death, therefore, is a real loss in

GENERAL ASSEMBLY CON
VENES.

Both branches of the General Assembly
of Maryland convened at Annapolis We'd
nesday and effected a permanent organi-
zation. The Democratic caucus nomi-
nees were elected, Spencer c. Jones, of
Montgomery, being chosen president of
the senate, and DR.. George J. Everhart,
of Baltimore county, speaker OF the house.
The message of Gov. John Walter
Smith was read, in which he congratulated
the legislature upon the fact that the
State is practically free from debt. The
message made no special recommends
tons, that being left to Gov-elect Edwin
uary Is, Adjournment was taken until
Tuesday.
Before the legislature convened the
following call for a conference was circul-
ated, which received the necessary num-
Der of signatures
The undersigned senators and members
of the house of delegates hereby agree to
hold a conference in the house of dele
gates on Tuesday, the 10Th day of January
1904, at $50 p. m for the purpose of
nominating a person to be voted for for
the Off ce of State treasurer and to confer
in regard to the proposed amendment to
the State constitution tor the regulation
of suffrage, and to make provision for
State aid in the construction Of public
roads.
The object of this call, it was explain
| ed, was to dispose of these questions be,
fore the S~enatorshlp was considered. In
asmuch as there is no opposition to the
re election of State Treasurer Vandiver,
a caucus is considered unnecessary, and
the nomination will therefore, be made
at the proposed conference.
This leaves the Senatorship to be de-
cided on its merits. 1t was thought until
this morning that a caucus would sure
IL be held next week, but after a thorough
canvass the organization people are now
so sure of their ground that the ca
may be deferred until the week following
the Inauguration. The Rayner people
themselves acknowledge their candidate
stands no chance of winning and one of
his strongest advocates stated to-day that
in all probability the Rayner votes would
70 to ex-Gov. Jackson.
There is no doubt the organization
people have the situation we'll in hand.
They can make or knock out whom they
please, and it now looks easy for Gov.
| Smith, There will be no dark horse un-
less a condition develops that is now en-
tirelY unforeseen.

more ways than one. But he leaves
behind a name that will stand high,
not only in the business records OF the
city which he loved 50 well, but in its
social life and in those great and us"
full philantropics to which he Goa
tributed as much in wise counsel. per
sonal participation and generous Civ.
ing as any man OF his generation.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

. The Governors message to the Gen
eral Assembly is characteristic of the
man-practical, Straightforward and
business-like. His review of the con-
ditlons of the various departments OF
the State government is very CON-
plete, and these conditions are the best
evidence of the masterful administra-
ton just ended.
Governor Smith has always been
conspicuous for his interest in the
cause of education, and he recomm ends
now that better provision be made for
the schools, that teachers salaries be
increased, and favors a larger appro-
priation for pensions for teachers who
are over 60 years of age and who lave
been in service Tor a quarter of a CEN
fury.
The State debt was reduced by a
large amount during the past four
years, and the credit of the State is
high. This fact ought to appeal to
the people.
To the counties the question OF high
way improvements is important and
Gov. Smith has this to say about it:
The time has arrived when much greater
attention should be paid by the General
Assembly to the question of highway i'm
proyement.. The people of the State gen.
orally are demanding a better system of
roads than now exists, and it is OF the
highest importance that this demand be
recognized.
The Geological Survey has rendered,
and continues to render, great assistance
in preparing plans and specifications for
important pieces of road work, and the
value of the survey has received wide
recognition. Numerous test Of the various
road and paving materials used upon
country roads and city streets have been
made.
The Maryland Geological Survey has
extended its operations during the: past
two years. More than two-thirds OF the
state has now been surveyed, and the
work is rapidly progressing.

Saved From Terrible Death.

The family of Mrs. NJ. L. Bobbitt, Of
Bargerton, Tenn, saw her dying and were
powerless to save her. The most skillful
physicians and every remedy used failed,
while consumption was slowly taking her

WITHIN FIRE LIMITS.
Amendment Proposed to the Snow and
Ice Law.

The Commissioners have recommended
to Congress that the proposed snow and
zee law be amended so as to provide that
with the exception of sections and @, IL
shall apply only to the portions of the Dis
trict within the fire limits
Mr.. H. S. Brinkerhoff of 3439 Holmead
avenue recently wrote to Senator GalIinger,
chairman of the Senate committee on the
District of Columbia, calling attention to
the severity of fines imposed by section 3,
relative to failure to remove snow and ice
from sidewalks. The letter was referred to
the Commissioners.
Mr.. Brinkerhoff states that there are
miles and miles of subdivided lots In the
suburbs with no improvements. If the
snow and ice is not removed within four
hours after daylight from the frontage Of
these lots, says Mr.. Brinkerhoff, a penalty
of So is imposed on the owner, and If for
any cause the owner shall fail to attend
TO the matter, the snow and ice shall be re-
moved by the District and 81 additional be
assessed against each lot of twenty five
feet front. In such cases the whole penalty
the writer states including the fine and the
assessment, would be Sc for each lot
In the case of lots in the suburbs many
OF which the writer says are owned bv
non-resldentS, the penalty seems unreason-
aple, He suggested that some arrangement
might be made whereby the officer in
charge of the police precinct in which these
lots are located. might employ persons de-
string TO work, to clean the snow and ice
OFF of the frontage of the lots, at twenty
hVe cents lot. The assessment of 81
against the land would permit of a suffi-
cient profit to the District for superintend-
ing the work.
Mr.. BrinkerhUff will be informed of the
recommendation made by the Commission
ers that the law apply only to lots within
the fire limits.
