able alimony be awarded her.
The domestic difficulties of the
Davidsons first became public last

tired from his position as president
of the Baltimore Trust and Guar

Miss Laura B. Noyes, trained nurse,
who lived near Port Deposit, Md.

had been effected between himself
and his wife, but few weeks ago

BASE BALL.
Rising Sun Defeats EIkton In A
Holly Contested Game On
Rising Sun Grounds.
ORIOLES STILL THE CHAMPIONS.

The game Of base ball between
Elkton and Rising Sun, arranged to
be played at this place Saturday
afternoon Immediately after the
democratic meeting, brought oaka
big crowd in anticipation of an ex-
citing contest, as the rivalry be-
tween these two teams is intense.
The expectation of the crowd was
fully realized as excitement ran
high and the. opposing rooters had
ample opportunity to do stunts,
such as only enthusiastic base ball
rooters can do.
The game was marked by rather
ragged work in the field and free
hitting, both pitchers realizing be-
fore the contest ended that they
were cup against" strong batters.
Elkton took the lead in the
fourth, when four hits and some
loose in-field work on the part of
the home team enabled them to
score four runs, which looked big
until Rising Sun struck batting
rally in the fifth after two men were
out, Hoover and Reynolds getting
singles and Bouse bringing them in
on home run drive to left.center.
Brickley followed with a single,
and after an error by short, scored
the tying run on HALLS single.
Elkton got another run in the
seventh on a three Dagger by Denny
and single by Steele. In the last
half of the seventh Hoover dupli.
Gated Denny's drive and before the
inning closed the visitors had gone
up in the air and four runs had
crossed the plate.
The out fielders had busy day,
Hall pulling down five nice flies
in center, while Steele captured.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

The democratic amendment
meeting held at Rising Sun last
Saturday was favored with ideal
outdoor weather and the speakers
we're listened to with marked
interest. Lunch was served
to all who desired to partake
and on the arrival of the special
train at l :45 the speakers arrived.
The meeting was addressed by AL
bert Constable, Esq, Austin L.
Crothers, Esq, and Hon. L. Irving
Handy, of Del. Messrs. Constable
and Crothers after briefly dwelling
on the points of the proposed
amendment, confined their remarks
more particularly to local condi-
tions. The latter included the
unprecedented extravaganza of the
present republican Board of County
Commissioners, which has caused
$l.20 tax rate and a debt of
$4,000.
To cite an np-to- date item of
their "business" management, they
levied $40, 900 for road work from
July 1905 to July 1906. Three
months only of that time has elaps-
ed and they have already spent
800, ,623.4 As, leaving the remaining
nine months with 1928 .45 less than
nothing for road work!
Mr.. Handy gave one of the most
pleasing and able addresses on the
race question ever listened to by
an appreciative audience.
The speaking was interspersed
with music by the Elkton Band
and at the conclusion the scene was
shifted to the adjoining ball field,
where the Rising Sun boys, after
being out of practice since early
summer, showed their ability to
still defend the title OF champions
of Cecil comfy by defeating the
Elkton team s to 5.

received the money for the work, if any one had.
 Mir. Porter said that even if this were so as the bills were rendered with the names of officeholders upon them even if they did not get the money for their work surely no one else was entitled to it for services which they had not rem dered. There was a great deal of dis cussiOn as to whether it was a violation of the law OF not and also whether it was not a case of wages instead of salary which is paid for services at the polls. The question was also raised as to whether or not city hall enl- ploys did not have right to spent his time, outside of office hours, in any way he chose. It was finally voted that the corporation counsel should decide these matters. MT. Rowe said he thought it would be an injustice to hold these bills up until the meeting on next Thursday night now that all the itemized statements were all in, he therefore moved for a special meeting Of the board to be held on next Mon day afternoon at o'clock for the pur- { HoSC ol lethlllS utIdl dSliol Oii llle iIldt@ ter. He also moved that the corpora tion counsel be asked to have his opin- ion ready at that time. Both motions were passed. During the centre dis cussion fo the bills MT. Porter said that he did not care to oppose the majority, but that in the light in which he at present viewed the matter he did not
 wish to sIgn the bills.

poor people-we will see them after luncheon"
 The duchess philanthropy was a by word on her Irish estates, but I won dered how the innovation would suit the younger duchess retinue of ser wants; what they would think Of hav- ing the lower classes at ulingstown house.
 The duchess was in high good hu- nor, and had momentarily forgotten even her anger against the wayward doings of the modern generation. A higly cultured woman, she entertained me with many pungent remarks on matters of moment, and it was with regret that I arose at her intinlation that it was o'clock and her party of people must have arrived. I am not very good at philanthropieal enter tainments.
 The doWager duchess led the way to one of the smaller drawing rooms, and as the footman flung open the door, in my amazement I almost fell over the duches, for there before me, looking almost as astonished as I, were Lady [ 9OPIAlcL town, Sir Edward Erington and sey- eral other of the duchess relations, and standing confused and awkwardly about the room were a great many ex- treme ill-sorted and strangely attired people. -t
 How do you do my dear Sophia this is MT. Banks" the duchess turn- ed to short, fat red-faced man. You doubtless know my niece MT. Banks, she continued, ''for her shop, believe, i is in your street-hats, you sell, do you not, my dear Sophie. or is it milk she paused-"Lady Sophie Verulun- MT. Banks. my. greengrocer." | From one to another the duchess moved to her different guests, the foot men standing motionless and express sionless by the door. Apparently un- arware that we were all petrified the duchess graciously introduced her ill- assorted party and then she turned for a moment to me. #s
 Are you coming out with me, Ever ard? Then let us go''. And one more she turned to Lady Sophie Verulun. You will look after your friends for me, my dear Sophie; am obliged to go out, but you can show them the pictures, and dare say they would like to see the miniatures" She bow ed and slowly left the room and, cross ing the hall. stepped into the landau and signed to me to follow her. q hope my guests will have a pleasent time she said, as we turned in the park; there is so much art, my dear Everard, in mixing the right sort of people. But, you see, being all together in trade they will have so many interests in common. ."-R. Neish in London Daily Mail.
