The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1905-02-24
DIR. William F. Sappington, second


years ago has resided near Mercersburg
Pa, where he has been actively engaged
in the practice of his profession. Owing
to the mountainous nature of the coun-
try he is compelled to travel almost en-
tirelv on horseback and about a year
ago while descending rocky embank-
ment his horse fell and broke his rider S
leg DR.. Sappington has decided to move
to Darlington i'll the near future where
for several generations past Sapping-
| ton has been a welcome visitor to the
sick room.
The new American Building, corner
| Baltimore and South streets, Baltimore,
is a model in every particular. 1t not
| only represents an immense expenditure
of money but is an excellent illustration
of enterprise in a successful battle against
| existing conditions. On February I,
1901. the old structure was destroyed i'll
the great fire together with allits presses
and machinery. Just one year after
wards the present newspaper palace
was thrown open to the public and in
the meantime, not a single publication
was missed. The American is one of the
great journals of the country and its
present high rank is almost entirely due
to the excellent management of General
Felix Agnus.
Ice boats have recently furnished con-
siderable entertainment for the residents
of Lower Hartford who are near enough
the water to engage in the sport. There
is a popular impression that these
vehicles of pleasure are elaborate affairs
costing a considerable sum of money.
OF course the price could be made to run
up to any amount. but a very good boat
can be rugged up for a modest sum. All
that is needed is wpieces of scantling,
an ordinary boat sail and a rudder. Any
mechanic i'll half hour can, with few
nails. saw and Ratchet, make an outfit
that will answer every purpose. The
boats are managed the same as ordinary
water craft and with a good wind will
attain a speed of from 25 to 80 miles an
hour.
The Ladies Home Journal last May
published an article rejecting on the puri-
ty Of the medicines compounded by the
Worlds Dispensary Medical Association.
1t was asserted that their product con-
tanned deleterious substances calculated
to injure the health OF any one using
them. A suit for libel Immediately fol- |
lowed this publication. 1t is claimed by
DR.. Pierce that the article had seriously
hurt their business. and, as there was no
foundation of truth for its publication
large damages were asked. The Journal, |
discovering its mistake. made a retrac- |
ton of the first statement but it seems |
not to have been as far reaching as the |
first report. We have had long business |
dealings with this old reliable medicine
house and our experience convince us OF |
the truth of all their representations.
An unusual spectacle was presented |
just about midnight on Tuesday when
Mr.. W. II. Cloman and Miss Daisy Price
were married on the Hartford side of the
Gunpowder river, near Reckord. The
young couple had a Hartford county |
license and went to Rev. NJ. L. Beall, pas
tor of Long Green Church, to get him to
tie the knot. The clergyman, of course,
could not perform the ceremony in Balti-
more county. After persuasion, he con-
scented to come across the line so that the
license could be used. 1t was a cold |
night, the mercury was near zero, but
this did not deter the ardor of true love.
With only the silent stars as witnesses.
the party shivered while the solemn rites
were being read. Then the minister was
driven back home and the bride and
groom went to seek parental blessing.
The many friends of Judge David
Fowler will be gratifed to learn that he
will have no opposition to his candidacy
for denomination for chief judge of this
circuit. A suggestion that Associate
Judge Burke be the nominee has been
silerced by the statement that he would
not be an aspirant should Judge Fowler
be in the field. Both will now be renomi-
mated and reelected. In view Of their
splendid records, it is more than proba-
BILE that the Republicans will not oppose
them at the general election. This Judi
cial Circuit is proud of the personnel of
its bench. The integrity, ability and
judicial fairness of all three members is a
guarantee of the best citizenship which is
only possible when the ermine of those
who preside over our lives and liberties is
spotless, and their learning so profound !
as to interpret the laws in the fair minded
manner conducive to the greatest happi-
ness of all our people.
