ALBERT CONSTABLE


WITH the death Of Albert Constable,
ST.. there passed AWAY another of
those great men of Maryland, whose
type is fast disappearing. The gifted
son of II brilliant sire. he closed Il career
of honor and distinction ut the hands of
II fend, ut the summit of his np,m!lopd's
prime. and thu sole consolation to all
who mourn his ra-ic fate is the hope
that his slayer may he nnpdc to pay the
penalty of his awful crime Slender as
looks the chance that Justice will yet
have her play, all Of us must cling tu it
or else admit in dumh despair. with the
Wise Man of old, that All i.' vanity I'M
der the sun"
In Albert Constable there met many
qualities of head and heart THAT made up
Il marked personality found only in men
of the highest order of intellect and
capacity for the conduct of affairs He
would have been great in amy calling as
he was admittedly, great in his chosen
line of life. In some branches of law
he had few equals and in others no su-
periors among his living contemporaries
His high distinction as IL counsellor and
AN advocate WIS due in some measure
to rare mental gifts, but his standing
at the BAR was, in the marin, the reward
of SteadfaSt devotion to the needs of his
calling, fidelity to clients and absolute
faith in himself His honored career is
an example and an inspiration to every
young lawyer, whatever his ability, AND
an argument for earnest pursuit of ones
chosen lfc-work.
In many, or perhaps ALL respects Mr..
Constable was like only to himself. He
had many qualities that attracted and
Others. that repealed his associates. but
many that knew him loved, more ad-
mired and ull respected him for his
makeup of head and heart. His tenn
permanent was such that he could not
be Il follower. save of those greater than
himself. and he thus limited his amhi-
ton and failed to reach II political emf
ncnce that he might have achieved had
he been willing to pay the price of sub
ordination. Those of his type are our
potentially greatest men but they seldom
seek and are rarely given the chance to
achieve distinction in the arena of poll
tics, his entrances into which were more
in the nature of relaxation than with set
purpose.
Like all strong men, he had his friends
and his opponents. but around his bier
al join in II common tribute of praise of
his merits ard sorrow for the tragic
close ~f his honorcd career TO mis-
loved ones, to most of whom the tidin--
of his fate came with crushing sudden
ness there goes out the sincere sym
ltathy of the people of town. county and
State and. indeed. of all who read of the
burden they are callet upon to bear.
For in trials such as theirs all true
hearts beat us one and voice the trust
that
I'm the Hereafter Angels may
Roll the stone from the grave away.

the Transvaal mined 1,192,514 ounces
of gold, worth $24,651, 14S. During a
corresponding period in 1903 the out
put was S31,12S ounces, worth ST.

rate of production of the first four

A Tall Genius.

Nicola Tesla, the student of cleo.
tricity, is an unusually tall man, with
the flighty look of genius in eyes,
face and manner. Although his in.
ventions have made him rich, he is a
tireless worker in his chosen profess
sion. He looks to be about 81 years
old, which is just ten years less than
the reality. His father was priest OF
the Greek church.
