AWAY WITH YOUR POCKET GUNS
Judge Henderson Speaks Plainly
About Carrying Concealed Weap-

AT Cumberland Judge r. r. Hen
derson Thursday morning heard the
case of James F. Clark, an appeal
from Justice of the Peace Wolford.
who sentenced the accused to three
months confinement in the House of
Correction, for CARRYING concealed
weapons. After a review of the evil
dence in the case, Judge Henderson
decided that the magistrate was right
in finding Clark guilty aud in senten-
cling him to the House of Correction.
In confirming the sentence Judge
Henderson took occasion to speak a
few words of warning to all trans
Sressors of the law against car
rylng concealed weapons.
The Judge stated that he never ap-
proved of what seemed to have been
custom among magistrates in i'm
posing fines alone for offenses of this
character, but he did approve of Sc
we're punishment in the way of i'm
prisOnment
Judge Henderson further said that
if parties brought before him were
found guilty of carrying concealed
weapons they would receive a prison
sentence regardless of whether or not
their standing in society might be
high or low. Those who heard the
remarks of the court looked upon
them as warning that the severest
punishment may be expected for this
violation of law, which is often re-
sponsible for high crimes.

the great fatigue they have gone
through, the general in future excuses
them from fatigue-duty on Sundays,
except at the ship-yards. or on speci
al occasions, until further orders The.
general is sorry to be, informed that
the foolish and wicked practice of
profaue sweariug-a vice heretofore
little known in an American army
is growing into fashion. He hopes
the officers will, by example as well AS
influence, endeavor to check il; and
that both they and the men will re-
fleet that we can have little hope of
the blessing of Heaven upon our arms
if we insult it by our impiety and
folly. Added to this, it is a vice so
mean and low, without any tempta-
ton, that every man of sense and
character detests it.-General Order,
August 3, 1875.
1t would be peculiarly improper to
omit in this first official act my fer
vent applications to that Almighty
Being Who rules oyer the universe,
Who presides in the councils of ma
tons, and Whose Presidential aids
can supply every human defect, that
His benediction NAV cOnsecrate to
the liberties and happiness of the
people of the United States a govern
ment instituted by themselves for
these essential purposes; and NAV en-
able every instrument employed in
the administration TO execute with
success the functions allotted to its
charge.
In rendering this homage to the
Great Author of every public and
private good, assure myself that it
expresses your sentiments not less
than my own, nor those of my fellow
citizens less than either. No people
can be bound to acknowledge and
adore the invisible hand which con-
ducts the affairs of men more than
the people of the United States. Ev-
cry step by which they have advanc-
ed to the character ofan independent
nation seems to have been dis
tinguished by some token of Provi-
dental agency, and in the important
revolution just accomplished in the
system of their united government
the tranquil deliberations and volun-
tary consent of so many distinct com
munities from which the event had
resulted, cannot be compared with
the means by which most govern
ments have been established without
some return of pious gratitude along
with an humble anticipation of the
future blessing which the past seems
to presage.-Inaugural Address, April

COURT SUSTAINS
THE ROAD LAW.
Act Held TO be Constitutional by
States Highest Tribunal.
APPEAL FROM BALTIMORE CO.

Decision Help to Road Improvement.
OF the Greatest Importance
State Appropriation for Roads
Now Available.
The Court of Appeals upheld the
validity of the Shoemake road act in
an order handed down this morning
in the case CT Mr.. Frank A. Bonsal
against the Baltimore County Com
missioners. An opinion will be filed
later.
This act provides for an appropri-
alton of 100000 for each of two years
from the funds in the State Treasury
to the different counties of the State
to be used in building improved roads.
The fund is distributed according to
the road mileage in the respective
counties.
Before any portion of the fund is
awarded the county receiving it must
agree to contribute half the cost of
the contemplated improvement.
When the act was under considera-
ton by the Legislature, doubt of its
validity was expressed because of
provision of the Constitution of the
State forbidding the use of pu bile
funds for internal improvement. In
order to overcome this obstacle in
case an unfayorable decision was rem
dered by the Court of Appeals, a con-
stitutional amendment embracing
the same provisions as the act was
passed.
1t will not, however. be necessary to
submit this amendment for the APP
proval of the people since the Court
of Appeals has decided that the mon
ey can be contributed from the funds
in the State Treasury.
Several counties have had their
roads surveyed with a view of taking
advantage of the offer of assistance
made by the State as soon as the val
idity of the law had been established
by the Court of Appeals.
OF the $780, appropriated by the
act Garrett county is entitled to $12,
600 or more each year, provided APP
plication be made to the State au
thorities for the fund and a like
amount be appropriated by the Coun-
ty Commissioners each year to be an
piled on permanent improvements to
our public highways.

The Ballot Should Be An Equal Gift
To Man and Woman,

This cry of nti-suffragists that "for
one good woman who would go to the
polls there would be nine bad women"
is dreadfully hackneyed.
Take my word for it, the bad women
would not bother their heads about
the polls, and the women of the
working class, the ignorant and un-
educated, who worry the ants so
much, would make excellent voters.
In this grade of society it is the
woman who holds the purse strings,
who finances the pittance earned by
her husband, who really knows little
because he has so little time for
learning) beyond his pick or hoe.
1t is the woman who saves and
plans, who educates the children and
keeps the home together, and who,
if she had the ballot, would study
every phase of the political situation
which could benefit her husband and
her children. She would take more
interest in vital questions than her
wealthy sister, because those questions
would come home to her more closely.
l do not believe in woman suffrage.
1 believe in equal suffrage. Let the
man and woman stand and fall to-
gether. l do not want to look up to
any man. l want to stand equal to
him and look into his eyes. What
is sin in him is sin in me. What
rights he has l should have also. If
the ballot is not an inherent right, it
should be an equal gift to man and
woman.

Questions Answered.

At the Farmers Institute held in
this city two questions were asked
which were not answered at the time.
Supt. Gregg promised to answer them
through the columns of the Herald.
The answers are given below:
l. What is your ration for feeding
steers?
Answer: We are feeding just now
16 lbs. Of ensilage and 8 lbs. of grain,
made up of 4 lbs. corn, lbs. oats and
2 lbs. bran, with one-half Id. oil meal
Let it be understood in this connection
that while we have obtained very good
results from this ration, still we are
not satisfied that it is the ration we
should recommend for this system of
feeding steers bred by beef sires from
high type dairy COWS, inasmuch as we
wish to force their finishing at about
eighteen months. We have learned
two things concerning this matter.
First, this class of feeding stock must
be matured in about 10 to 20 months,
else they deteriorate in quality after
that time. Second, they have a
capacity for growth that is astonish-
ing, but it may take form that is not
desirable for the market, which leads
us to believe that we must feed a
heavier fattening food, pushing
rapidly from the day of birth to the
marketing time at an early period.
We have every reason to believe that
we can make good quality of baby
beef under this system of breeding and
proper feeding. 1. G. Gregg.
2. A piece of land was sown to flax
in 1902. The fax stubble was plowed
under that same fall, and the land has
raised two crops of timothy and clover,
and was plowed early last fall. Could
that land be sown to flax this spring
and do we'll, or would it be troubled
with flax wilt?
Answer by Prof. Andrew Boss of
the State Experiment Station:
1t is almost impossible for me to
tell whether the land described would
be affected with the disease or not.
should not expect it to be. The ques-
ton does not state that the flax straw
plowed under in 1902 was afflicted
with flax wilt. If it was not there is
no danger whatever from wilt unless
you should seed from flax that was
affected with the disease last year.
Treatment does not seem to be
effective and the only safety lies in
securing seed that you know is from
flax that was not affected. If the land
became infected in 1902 with flax wilt,
| should be little bit afraid of wilt
this year though it would not always
follow that the disease would live over
for so long time.

NOT A PATENT MEDICINE
Hyomei, the Guaranteed Catarrh
Cure, Prescribed by Physicians.

No one should confound Hyomei
with the patent medicines that are
advertised to cure catarrh. 1t is as
far superior to them all as the dia-
mond is more valuable than cheap
glass. Their composition is secret,
but Hyomei gives its formula to all
reputable physicians.
Its base is the valuable eucalyptus
oil, famous for its antiseptic qualities.
This is combined with aromatic and
healing gums and balsams, making a
pure liquid, which when used in the
Hyomei pocket inhalers, fills the air
you breathe with germ-killing, disease
destroying and healing powers that
kills all catarrhal germs there may be
in the throat, nose and lungs.
How foolish it is to try and cure
catarrh by swallowing tablets OF
liquids. The only natural way to cure
this disease and all other diseases oil
the respiratory organs is to breathe
Hyomei.
This treatment has been so success.
full, curing 80 per cent of all who have
used it, that Hyomei is now sold by
Fiesler & McNeice under an absolute
guarantee to refund the money if il
does not cure. You run no risk what
ever in buying Hyomei. If it did moi
possess unusual powers to cure, il
could not be sold upon this plan.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
SLIGO and comprises an inhaler, 6
bottle of Hyomei and dropper. The
inhaler will last a lifetime; and ad
ditional bottles of Hyomei can bt
obtained for so cents.
