COMMUNICATED.
To the Stockholders Of the South.
ern Maryland Telephone Co.

At q called meeting of the stock
holders OF the Southern Maryland
Telephone Company, held at Me-
chanicsville on Thursday. October
9th, it was proposed to issue bonds
and mortgage the telephone proper
ty for the sum OF 80, 900, OF which
bonds $4,000 were TO be sold at
once and the proceeds put to imme-
diate use and the other %, 600 to be
held for future emergency
A strong opposition TO the pro-
posed measure developed among a
Jorge majority of the stockholders
present, but the president and a
few others were as strongly in favor
Of the measure.
After an earnest debate OF the
question q motion was carried to
postpone action to future meeting
to be held or Monday morning, Oct.
10th, at 10 o'clock at Mechanicsville,
and the gentlemen whose names are
given below were elected as CON-
mittee to take the whole matter un-
der consideration and report to the
meeting on Oct. 10Th some measure
which, in their judgment, would put
the company on a. good financial foot
ing and at the same time not run the
risk of entirely sacrificing theinter-
ests OF the stockholders.
1t is earnestly hoped and urged
that every stakeholder will be pres
ent or be properly represented al
the meeting on Oct. 10th, as any
rash step taken at that time will
probably result in the loss 70 the
stockholders of the money they have
there invested.

Union Man Sat on Opening to Goa u-pna -6- n Cellar.
 Philadelphia, Aug S.-While the del egates to the annual convention of the International Brotherhood of Team sters, which began in Odd Fellows temple yesterday, were in session, a delegate declared that non-union negro coal wagon driver was deliver ing coal at the building in which they met. This caused considerable stir and committee was appointed to look into the matter.
 In the meantime the negro driver was having warm argument with several delegates on the sidewalk os the hall, which attracted large crowd. Delegate D. McCullum of New York was the man who diseoy- cred that the driver was not a union driver. He told the negro that he could not deliver the coal while the union was in session in the building.
 The delegate sat on the cover over the manhole and began making a speech to the crowd that was rapidly growing larger. The non-uniOn driver to the chief engineer of the who. finding that he could not persuade the delegate to let the coal be shot into the cellar, sent for policeman. The policeman ordered the delegate off the manhole. which com mand he obeyed, and went into the hall with some of the delegates. The coal was then unloaded without fur ther delay. Later in the day com mittee reported that the chief en- gineer of the building had promised that no more coal would he delivered

Bankers Association Adopts secret Code For ConadentisI Business.


 NEW YORK. Aug s.-Members of the Bankers Association of America are receiving a private code. the work of the members. which was eslitej hy the secretary of the association. By its use 1t is expected that members will be able to communicate with one an- other at a great saving. at the same time insuring absolute secrecy in all confidential matters.
 There has been no code which con tained the terms employed by bankers. For several months the association has been getting together material for the little book. which will exert a powerful influence in stepping the payment of spurious checks.
 Of course the code is secret. Only the members will be able to decIpher the meaning of communications that are expected to ssve the association thousands If dollars each year.

PRIMRosE,s MINISTRIES.


 Tomorrow night at Polls the at traction will be George Primroses big minstrel company under the manage ment of James H. Decker. MT Prl,n- rose has been at the head of every tirst-class minstrel organization in this country for the past twenty five years, always being the power behind the throne, the man of ideas and busi- ness. the one person who fought for higher, a better more up-to-date and more colossal form of minstrelsy, never resorting to vulgar jokes, songs or insulting remarks to create laugh ter. but at all times presenting morally clean and up-to-date humor- ous and musical performance. James H. Decker has brought this form of entertainment up to the stan- dard of our first-class dramatic pro. ductions and presenting nothing but minstrelsy, wherein the darky environ ment that has far surpassed anything ever before seen in this class of enter tainment. Therefore, as Mir Primrose and Mir Decker have cut themselves free from all former entanglements. they are. now presenting minstrel company of unsurpassed brilliancy, absolute novelty in every detail, the stupendous result of brains and ener- gy backed by unlimited capital The opening part will be upon more elab- crate scale than ever. with an orches- tra of talented musicians, vocal corps of twenty and score of come dians of worldwide repute. The sec ond part will be an innovation in min strelsy and will consist of eight big scenes which have been painted from sketches and photographs made by from long befo' de war" to. the pres ent day will be depicted.

MORGAN SEES PRESIDENT,
AuthOrftatfvely Stated That the Visit

Related to Hankow Railroad
 OYSTER BAY, x. Y., Aug. S.-J. Pierpont Morgan of New York had a conference with President Roosevelt lasting an hour and half. The presi- dent himself is authority for the state ment that it related practically entire ly to the affairs of the Hankow rail- road in China, a controlling interest in which is owned by J. F. Morgan & Go. Incidentally and as relating ill a meas ure to the railroad interests held by Americans in China the pending peace negotiations formed a topic of consid- eration by the president and MT. Nor. gan..
 MT. Morgan came to Oyster Bay un- heralded. While his visit was by ap- pointment, nothing concerning itN was permitted to leak through official sources until after he had gone.
 Mir. Morgan's big steam yacht, the Corsair, anchored in the lower bay, about three-quarters of a mile from the dock of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht club, on Center island. When observed from shore she was flying the absent flag, indicating ordinarily that her owner was not aboard. Neverthe- less he was there and started for the shore.
 Instead of landing at the J. West Roosevelt pier, where visitors to the president who arrive by water usually land, the. launch conveyed Mir. Morgan to the beach of w. Emlen Roosevelt, where he went ashore He was obliged to walk little distance to the road way, where one of the presidents car riages was in waiting for him. He was driven directly to Sagamore Hill. He remained for luncheon with the presi- dent and Mrs. Roosevelt and for some time afterward
 The suggestion was made that Mir. Morgan's visit and that of Secretary Shaw a little earlier might be more than coincidence, but it can be said authoritatively that they had no rela. tion at all with each other. Secretary Shaw and MT. Morgan did not meet, and the purposes of their visits were entirely different

 The delegates represent a member snip, estimated at tc 125,OO0 men and boys. and come from nearly every see- ton of the country.
 Nothing occurred during the day to indicate the sharp fight that is pre- dicted will be made against the re- election of President Cornelius F. Shea of Chicago. President Shea is opposed. by Howard Gould of New York and Michael Casey of San Fran. cisco.
 Because of the non-appearance of Samuel Gompers, president of the Americans Federation of Labor. Presi- dent iShea decided not to read his an- nual report. He will read it when Mr Gompers shall be present.

 NEW ORLEANS. Aug. S.-With the ! marine hospital service and the author ity of President Roosevelt placed in complete control of the scientific fight to eradicate yellow fever from New Orleans before frost, the campaign against the scourge took fresh life With ample funds. the best available medical talent and an army of willing workers at his back. Dr. J. H. White, surgeon in charge, hopes for success ful termination of the struggle
 Dr. White received formal orders from Surgeon General Wyman inform ing him that the federal government had decided to assume the task pre- pared for 1t. Dr. White then visited the state and the city boards of health. where he communicated the news to Presidents Souchon and Kohnke and arranged for the transfer of control of the work. The city and the state boards pledge all the assistance pos sible to Dr. White Dr. White said the transfer of details would be grad ual, so that there might be no inter- ruption of the work now in progress.
 It was announced that the marine hospital service would soon take up the receiving and compiling of daily reports. A false impression has pre- vailed in some quarters that all the cases occurring were not made public. and in order that there may be perfect confidence throughout the country Dr. White desires that hereafter statistical announcements of the situation shall be made under federal supervision.

Hargreaves's Big Railroad Shows have been aptly called the wonder" shows as each year myriad of npvel- ties are produced with that aggrega- ton that no other show can duplicate. This year the Management have far surpassed all previous efforts until this vast amusement enterprise can sasely lay claim to being the biggest and best shows on the road With a colossal circus given in two rings and on an elevated stage, with menagerie that cost over a million dollars to gather together, with a mammoth museum iE which strange people and curious things from all parts of the globe can be seen and with a real Roman Hippo drome in which contests like given in the old ampitheater of Rome are faith fully reproduced. there is such re- freshing novelty about this st,lpendous aggregation that everyone who visits it becomes infatuated with it.

NIAGARA NOT TO DISAPPEAR.
All of Its Waters Not to Be Used by
Power Plants

Niagara falls is to be preserved as
one of the seven wonders of the world,
under formal agreement between the
United States and Great Britain. The
hand of industry which has been di-
verting the waters from this stipend
GUS cataract is to be stayed. In ac-
cordance with instructions given by
the president, Secretary Root will mi
tiate negotiations with Sir Mortimer
Durand, British ambassador, for the
purpose of limiting the use of the wa
tiers of Niagara river for industrial
purposes. The prospect of the de-
struction of Niagara falls as one of ma
lures scenic wonders was called to
the attention Of the president some
weeks ago by a civic association of
New York.
In connection with the negotiations
it will be necessary for the two gov
ernments to consider the effect upon
the electrical power and other indus
tries already established on both sides
of the stream.
The estimated gross income of the
combined power companies is in the
neighborhood of $10,000,00O per an
mum.
