Strayer's Business College Branching
Out.-Another evidence that Baltimore bust
ness men were not discouraged by the fire is
to be found in the recent development Of Stray
er's Business College. This school was located
in the burned district and lost practically all of
its equipment in the fire. Recent Developments
however, seem to show that the school Is more
vigorous than ever before.
It has recently issued a complete series of
commercial textbooks, which have already
been introduced in some Of the best business
colleges.
Branch schools have been opened in Phila-
delphia and Washington. Mr.. H. p. Els
worth, who was formerly principal of the
Commercial Department of the Baltimore
while Mr.. 2. J. Hartman, formerly teacher OF
penmanship in the Baltimore school, is prin-
cipal of the Washington school.
Another evidence of the pr0gressiveness of
the institution is to be found in the fact that
Mr.. Charles s. Californian, formerly q teacher
in the school, has been engaged as Superinten-
dent of Instruction for the Baltimore school.
Mr.. Californian spent the whole of the past
year in the careful study of the methods of the
leading business colleges in the East, and he
comes to his work at the Baltimore school
ready to put in practice the best methods that
are to be found anywhere.
Mr.. C. A. Braniger, who for the past seven
years hes been at the head of the Commercial
Department of the Mountain State Business
College ct Parkersburg, w. Va, and who is Q
penman of national reputation, has been Sc
lected as principal of the Commercial Depart
ment Of the Baltimore school, and began his
work there September list.
The PRESIDENT mr.. s. Irving Strayer, and the
business manager, Mr.. T. w. Donoho. have
been receiving congratulations from their many
friends on the remarkable progress of the well
known institution over which they preside.

Court Grants Injunction in the Riggs
Road Case.-The arguments in the case of
Mr. George G. Winterode and others against
Mr.. and Mrs. T. Dudley Riggs. in which a bill
was filed to restrain the defendants by injunc-
ton from closing the portion Of the Garrison
Forest road running through the farm of the
defendants, which were begun on Thursday
of last week, were concluded on Saturday and
Judges Burke and Van Bibber, after being in
consultation for some time, announced their
conclusion as follows:
I'VE have conferred over this matter and we
understand the question now before the court
is on the application for preliminary injunc-
ton upon bill and answer, and on hearing of
this kind the matters of the answer, which are
in confession and avoidance, are not to be con-
sidered by the court. The answers very long,
and as we understand the larger part of it and
the most material part consists Of matters Of
confession and avoidance and can not be con-
sidered on this hearing. The bill states and
the answer also admits that the county is about
to expend the taxpayer money in mending
Injunction, so far as the expenditure of the
taxpayers's money is concerned, should be
granted against the County Commissioners and
the Highways Commission. The preliminary
injunction against Mr.. Riggs will be granted.

the defendant is at leave to file motion to dis

IMMIGRATION figures have just been publish
ed for the fiscal year ended June 3Oth, as COM
pared with the corresponding period a year
ago. The result is showing encouraging in
some respects and less SO in others. A de-
crease in the immigration from Austria Hun.
gary and Italy cannot be deeply deplored at
present by anyone, and 5000 less Of these
immigrants came to this country last year
than the year before. A perceptible increase
in the immigration from the British isles is a
good sign, and so is the increase in the i'm
portations from the German Empire. But a
falling off of 1875 in the immigration from
Sweden is definite loss. These Scandinavian
settlers are the kind Of people we need. The
tide is still pretty strong. Nearly 10000 new
corners landed in America during July, 1904.
