Fine Tribute to the Sugar Maple.

"Rispah," the well known Stoves
town newspaper correspondent, pays
the following very eIoquently aud de-
served tribute to the sugar maple
tree:
Some one has said that the Lord
might have created IA finer tree than
the sugar maple, but He didn't. Thos e
who have seen natural grove of sey-
eral hundred of these trees win readi-
ly agree with rhis saying. Stately in
size, symmetrical in form, magnificent
in verdure, venera bic in age. In the

green foliage among which squirrels

Preserve The Shade Trees.

One of the most powerful elements
in civic improvement and in beauti-
flying a city is shade, and it is one to
which least attention is paid. Some
people do not know the value of
shade trees in a city, leaving out the
question of beauty altogether. 1t
should be apparent that paving the
streets and sidewalks increases the
necessity for shade. The sun shining
on the smooth stone or brick pave
ments is reflected with an intensity
that is never felt where it shines only
on the soft earth, and for that reason
alone, if there was none other, put
ting down pavements and preserving
or planting trees should go together.
In short, shade trees add to the beau
ty, comfort and healUhfulness of any
city, and it is almost crime to de-
stroy them. In this country some
plant and build while others dig up
and tear down but please spare the
shade trees.

MARYLAAND'S OLD
STATE SENATE HALL
The Work Of Restoring It Will Begin
At Once.
THE PLANS AND ESTIMATES.
Old State House Discovered by Ar
chitects and Builders to Have bee n

Character OF the Work to be done.

The State House Building Com
mission held meeting in the Govern
ment House at Annapolis Thursday
aid authorized the remodeling of the
old Senate Chamber and its restora-
tion to the form it was in when Con-
gress was in session in it and General
Washington surrendered his COM
mission. The work of restoration
will begin at once. The estimated
cost of the improvement ordered is
$12, 5G5, divided as follows:
To restore the rostrum, niche
and balcony ..............S 50, 500
To replace windows, doors, win
dow trimmings, etc...... 700

Mr.. J. Appleton Wilson and Mr.
Josias Pennington of the advisory
committee, were present and submit
ted an interesting report, showing
the character of the work to be done,
illustrated by drawings and plans.
Mr.. Wilson had some photographs
which were taken in the old cham
Der before it was changed showing in
accurate detail the room as it will be
wien restored.
Mr.. George Shaffer of the Land Of
flee, another member of the advisory
committee, had fortunately preserved
two of the fluted columns which sup
ported the gallery, or balcony, as
well as a portion of the railing and
the cornice. These articles, along
with the photographs and other data
which the committee secured will
make possible the exact restoration of
the room to its original form. The
OLD building is in a very bad condi-
ton and the architects believe that
the work on the ceiling of the Senate
Chamber is necessary for safety. 1t
is likely that the Legislature next
winter will find it necessary to pro.
vide for the strengthening of the old
State House, the removal of rotten
timbers and the support of the side
walls by nnderpinning if the historic
old building is to be preserved.
In this connection it may be stated,
as the opinion of the architect as well
as the builder, that the States owes
it to Senator Spencer G. Jones that
the State House did not tumble down.
When the additions were removed for
building the new annex the north
wall was found to be in d tottering
condition and had to be rebuilt. If
this had not been done the whole
structure would probably have fallen.

Some have hesitated to believe rhat
the author of Revelation and the
Gospel and the Epistles of John can
be one and the same person. The
latter are in pure Greek, while the
former is Hebraized. 1t has been
aptly suggested that in Revelation
John returns to the style of his youth
before it became softened by Greek
culture. 1t is also in perhaps upcon-
cious imitation Of the style of the
prOphets.

Revelation is the normal end of the
New Testament. Gospels are four
fold biography of Jesus. Acts is the
photograph of the Apostolic Church.
Epistles are the indoctrination of that
Church. Revelation opens the vista
of the future; picture Jesus trium-
phant. Thus, in spite of its com
posite authorship and variant form,
the New Testament keeps its unity.

The Cane Crop.

Sugar Planters Journal.
The week ending to-day was
gratifyingly propitious to general
cane field operations, notwith-
standing the threatening state
of the weather the past several
days, and cane planting is being
hurried along with the haste
usual to the work when it has
been subjected to delay. OF
such good use have our planters
made of their opportunity for
putting in the new cane crop
that some few have completed
this work already, and during
the next week practically all
should have finished planting if
a continuance of fair weather is
experienced. The most pleasing
feature of the planting work now
going on. however, is the con-
dition of the seed, which has,
with q few exceptions, main
tanned q uniformity of soundness
that is proving surprising. and
from which we have every reason
to expect to secure good stands
of cane.

From Waiter Parker News Cores
pOudcnt.
NEW MILLIONS INVESTED IN THE
SOUTH.
New Orleans:-The formation of a
syndicate with q cash capital of
81, 900, 900 to take over the holdings of
the D. H. Holmes Company of New
Orleans is n of the striking and
direct results of the pending construc-
ton of the Panama Canal and fore
stalls the wave of commercial activity
which has already set in on account
of this stupenduous International
project. The announcement of the
deal was confirmed by the fiscal agents
of the new syndicate, the Hibernia
Bank 4 Trust Co., and by the deal a
concern nearly 100 years old passes
into the hands of q group of New
Orleans financiers who assert that
every dollar invested is ''home
capital" Several of the men behind
the deal are millionaires, among them
leaders of the financial and cotton
markets of the South. New Orleans
is bidding on Panama construction,
commissary and other supplies and
the new 100000 corporation will
now become the largest institution of
its kind in the South and on q parity
with Altman, Wanamaker, Macy,
Marshall Field and other immense
department houses of New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago, be. in
position to enter the Panama West
Indian and Southern States trade as
against all eastern competition.
HOME SEEKERS FOR THE SOUTH.
New Orleans:-Following ON the
heels Of the $1,000, 900 Homes deal
comes the announcement by the New
Orleans Progressive Union that . call
will be issued for . convention of
Mayors of every town in Louisiana
and Mississippi, to meet in New Or
leans at an early date to discuss the
question Of turning the tide of immi-
grafton into the South through the
New Orleans Gateway. This is the
outcome Of the successful effort made
to establish at New Orleans q big
Southern immigration station where
the great overflow of homeseekers
from European countries . be
received and instead of being turned
loose in New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia and the other crowded coast,
can be freed at once in the great
agricultural sections of the country. 4
And the purpose is to enlarge the
movement so rs to include Texas, /
Oklahoma and Indian Territory,
Alabama. Arkansas, Tennessee,
Georgia, Florida, South and North
Carolina and even Virginia, despite
its proximity to New York. The site
for the immigration station has been
selected 1T Port Chalmette, just below
the City, and the cost of its construc-
ton will be largely betrayed by the
vari0ns trunk lines of railroad enter
ing here.
