who put in his working hours showing
the promoters of a trust how they
could beat the Sherman law to death,
except in campaign time when he dis
coursed eloquently on the necessity OF
suppressing the abuses of corporate
power. Thomas Jefferson rather fam
cied himself in this game of playing
both ends against the middle and de-
cided that 1t was Blackstone for his.
AS our patient hearers have prob
ably anticipated by this time. his
fourth act on the broad stage of real
life was very much like his other three.
He made a great play at the galleries
for two or three months and then
quietly faded away because some
easier and more popular way of max
ing a living had occurred to him. In
the course of the next ten years he was
successively-and more or less success
fully-a school teacher, corn doctor.
book agent. a novelist. an employ
ment agent, and the founder and head
family in college football. There were
two or three other callings which he
graced, but We mention only those to
which he stuck for at least two
months. In his present industrial in
carnation he is selling life insurance
and has probably found his permanent
level. No one was ever known to re-
cover after having been inoculated
with the life Insurance virus
Some people may think that we
have related this touching tale for our
own amusement. but we haven't.
Tragedy for it's own sake is not in our
line. Our sole purpose is the inculca-
tion of the grand moral lesson that
while a little knowledge may be dan
gerous thing. it's usually most danger
GUS to the man who doesn't possess it.

his society it was decided to palm him
off on an unsuspecting college for four
or five years, as the case might be.
While he was absorbing an education
and learning how to inhale cigarette
without coughing Thomas Jefferson
was giving a steady imitation of an all
round intellectual champion. He wrote
poetry for the college paper which he
could almost have sold to one of the
big magazines; his college play was ad-
mitted to be a corker although for some
invidious reason another fellow landed
the assignment for the college show;
and his stories came within few
inches of making a big hit. Each time
Thomas Jefferson turned out some
thing good in one or the other of these
fields Of intellectual gymnastics he was
assured by all his admiring friends
that If he stuck to it he would probably
make great name for himself some
day and might even earn enough
money to pay his laundry bills. But
Thomas could always think of some
thing else that he would rather tnrn
his attention to at the moment, and
besides doing too much of one thing
looked too much like hard work.
This was all right in college, for no
one expects a college boy to overtax
his brain. If he actually studied now
and then he might take to asking ques-
tions Of his professors and then the
whole academic structure would be
overturned. So we reaffirm that it is
all very well for the hunter Of the
elusive sheepskin to daily with his in
tellect and guide 1t hither and yon,
but when 1t comes down to business
where man expects to be paid real
money by some one else the case is
somewhat different, as we shall see in
our consideration of Thomas Jefferson.

County Act went into effect he had
had books, ledgers, etc, printed, and
when the act was knocked out he had
preserved the books and they could be
used over again.
After Mr. Fishers talk, regular bust
ness was taken up. A communication
was received from the Alexander
Young Building Company was receive
ed offering rooms for County offices.
This was referred to the committee on
quarters, which later reported prog
ress.
Attorney Douthitt reported a state
ment Of expenses required by him, as
follows: First assistant, $175; steno-
grapher, s125; clerk. SIS to 500; in
cidentals, $3.50; a total Of $3.50, not in
GLIDING his salary.
Here Chairman Smith appointed
Adams, Moore and Lucas as finance
committee Of the board to look up and
report on questions Of expenses of
the various Offices required and similar
matters.
Auditor Bicknell had not prepared
an estimate OF his office expenses.
Attorney Douthitt wanted at least
three rooms. Treasurer Trent went on
record for economy by offering to use
his own business office and asked only
tor a $3.50 deputy. As this will save
about $3.50 per month the proposition
was joyfully accepted.
Chairman Smith estimated that eight
rooms will be needed for the County
Offices, not including the road super
visor.
Here a question came up as to the
fire department. "Is the Board OF Fire
Commissioners in charge OF It or are
we," asked Adams. This question was
left for further consideration.
Supervisor Adams asked regarding
the difference between Territorial and
County prisoners in the Oahu prison.
He contended that only the prisoners
arrested and convicted after July
would be County prisoners, those be.
Ing in Jail prior to that time being
Territorial prisoners. After discus
sion pro and con on this, Attorney
Douthitt said he believed the County
need pay only for those prisoners ar
rested after July 1. The exact status
Of the care was left open for further
Investigation.
Mr.. Moore suggested having the At
torney General at the meeting tonight
to interpret the new law to the lay
men,"
Chairman Smith said that probably
Superintendent Holloway was acting
under legal advice In his proposed dis
cussion tonight of the basis on which
the public utilities would be turned
over to the County and. SO Mr.. Moore
withdrew his suggestion.
Jack Lucas-"At the request OF Mr..
Cox, should like to suggest that we
call on the Governor before he goes
away. He may have something to say
to u.s."
Mr.. Moore moved that the Board Of
Supervisors call on the Governor at
2 o'clock today. The motion was car
ried, after which the meeting was ad-
journed until tonight at 1880 o'clock.
when the officers-elect will meet to

Champion Tomatoes.

J. L. s. Kidd, Of Pennington,
left at the MIDLAND Office this
week number of tomatoes, as a
sample of what they can do in his
neighborhood in the vegetable line.
Two of the largest weighed 1albs.
and 1 Id. 6 OF. respectively, meas
uring II inches and 143 inches in
circumference. That the vines have
been prolific bearers is shown from
the fact that single stalk, about
a foot in length, had seven large
ripe tomatoes upon its various
branches. We were informed that
they are of a variety called "Kidd's
Choice" and that the name is
equivalent to "Crothers', this fall,
as they were grown on good old
democratic soil, Mr.. Kidd having
"voted Ter straight" for 30 consec.
utive years.

Fraudulent Pension.

John w. Boulder, colored, who
is charged with drawing for 15
years pension to which he was
not entitled, was arrested at Elk
ton, Sunday, by United States Dep
uty Marshal Zimmerman and
taken to Baltimore. Commissioner
Rogers committed him to Jail for a
hearing.
Boulder, it is charged, drew a
pension of $6 a month, receiving
more than 81, 900. He claimed to
have served in the Civil War in
Company B, Thirtieth Colored Vol
unteer Infantry, which was recruit
ed in Baltimore. Last year he
applied for an increase of his pen
sion. The investigation, then made
by Special Agent A. W. Roome,
disclosed that the John W. Boul
den entitled to the pension died
two years ago at Glen Cove, l.. 1.
His widow has since been granted
a pension.

Boating Accident.

James Kirby, of Savannah, Ca,
and Rex Cannon, of Peekskill, N.

afternoon last week in the Susque-
hanna river at Shenk's Ferry. The
young men left Peekskill July LIST
with a complete camping outfit,
intending to boat down the Sus-
quehanna to the Chesapeake Bay
They had several thrilling exper-
fences before reaching the rapids at
Shenk's Ferry, where their boat
was overturned. Cannon swan to
a rock, and seeing the dangerous
position of Kirby, undressed and
swan part way but stopped on
another rock to save his own life.
Some railroad workmen put out in
a boat and rescued Kirby who was
much exhausted. Then Cannon
was brought to shore. The men
lost all the money they had with
them, guns, camp equipment, etc.

son had narrow escape from SER
ious accident on Sunday. While
driving through the covered bridge
on the road between Blue Ball and
Lewisville their horse broke through
the floor and fell into the creek be.
low, distance of fourteen feet.
The vehicle, fortunately, did not
fall through the opening made by
the horse, the occupants escaping
injury of any sort, except for their
bad scare. The horse was gotten
out of the creek and was found to
have sustained but a few scratches.
The bridge had been weakened by
a Traction engine which crossed it a

Attempted Hold-Up

The presence of Taylor w. Nc
Kenny, of Elkton, who was driving
behind the carriage of the Misses
Pensel, of Chesapeake City, one
evening last week, frustrated a
hold-up by couple of negroes.
The young ladies were returning to
their home after night and as
precaution Mr.. McKenney was
driving behind their buggy.
When short distance out of Elk
ton two negroes suddenly stepped
from the side of the road, their
action frightening the young ladies,
who made cutlery. Noticing the
team just behind the vehicle occu-
pied by the ladies the negroes at
temped to stop the horse, but Mr..
McKenney drew a revolver and the
would.be highwaymen took fright
and fled.

Prohibition Convention.

Thomas J. Wilson, of Rising
Sun, and j. M. Campbell, of Port
Deposit, represented Cecil county
at the State Convention of the pro.
hibition party, held in Baltimore
last week. r. Harry Holmes was
nominated for Comptroller, and a
platform adopted which denounces
the jug trade in prohibition coun-
ties, declares against the Poe
amendment and says the first step
to benefit negroes is to place them
beyond the reach of liquor, which
is most detrimental to moral ad-
vancement.

Amendment Meeting.


The amendment meeting held al
Jackson Park last Saturday drew a
large gathering, one noticeable fea.
ture being the large number Of
ladies present. The day was ideal
for picnickers and an abundant
supply of refreshments were served
to all who desired to participate.
At two O'Clock the meeting was
called to order by Philip R. Bond,
Esq, of Port Deposit, who intro.
duced Albert Constable, ESQ.,, Of
the Elkton Bar, as the first speaker.
Mr.. Constable gave a clear cut,
forcible address which was received
with marked interest. He was
followed by Mr.. Slayter of Balto.,
who related several instances OF
negro domination in Virginia and
other southern states before state
constitutional amendments had been
adopted to enable the white voter
to obtain the supremacy of the
ballot.
Hon. A. L. Crothers was the
next speaker and supplemented
his address with a reference to his
candidacy for the State Senate. In
a very clear manner he gave the
audience to understand that the
sO-called Octoraro water rights
ISSUE" as raised by the repub-
licans, was mere buncombe, and
that instead Of favoring any bill
detrimental to the interests of
Cecil countians, as he was being
charged by his opponents, he
would pledge himself to oppose
anything which had tendency to
be the least harmful to the citizens
of his home district or any other
portion of the county.
B. F. Krauss, Esq, of Carroll
county, and another speaker from
Baltimore also made pleasing and
instructive addresses.
1t was clearly shown that the
proposed amendment was for the
purpose of restricting the right of
franchise to those who are justly
qualified to WELD it and eliminates
only an ignorant class which is a
menace to any state or community.
1t will not debar any one now
voting who has intelligence enough
to know how he is voting.
The speaking was interspersed
with music by the Riverside Cornet
Band which added greatly to the
occasion.
Friendly trials of speed on the
adjoining track and a game of base
ball between picked mines from
Rising Sun and Port Deposit filled
out full day of unalloyed pleas
ure to all who attended.

road at Perryville, was killed Sun
day by falling from local freight
on the Columbia and Port Deposit
