Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the bill to be introduced at the
coming session Of the Legislature pro-
viding for compulsory education
throughout the state. The State Board
of Education is to present the measure.
and it intends to make determined
fight to obtain its passage. At present
there are thousands of children who do
not attend any school. probably because
their parents keep them at work or on
account of the children being granted
their own wish in the matter. These
difficulties can be easily overcome, it is
argued. by the adoption of a compul-
sorry law, by which children will be COM
PEELED to go through the primary course
of studies in some school.

Is Opposed To The Law.

Mr.. |. 7 j. Brown. one of the Dem
ocratic members-elect to the House of
Delegates from Somerset county. says
that his first official act at the opening
of the Legislature at Annapolis this
winter will be to present bill providing
for the repeal of the law pensioning
judges. The pension law was passed
by the last Legislature Democratic
body but there has been considerable
unfavorable comment on 1t in the party
ranks since then. Mr.. Brown believes
that he will have plenty of company
within his party of members who think
as he does concerning the measure. and
he will urge his colleagues to unite with
him in efforts to strike the law from
the statute books.

Fashion Notes.

Light, clinging, soft materials seem
to be specially in favor chiffon velvet,
silk corduroy, radium. messaline and
the ever faithful mousseline de sole.
There are many styles and fads and
notions about combs and pins for the
hair: but nothing will ever supersede
for one instant tire exquisite richness
and propriety of real tortoise shell.
carved or adorned with gold.
Fur trimmings are admirable for
street dresses and evening cloaks. They
will be seen on many of the handsomest
garments of the winter. But it is ex-
ceedingly bad form to wear fur on an
indoor dress.
Short skirts for evening wear are still
popular among very young women.
For dancing there is no question about
their being practical and decidedly com
Portable. But woman over twenty
five should not think of it.
Authorities differ about the size of
sleeves. But without doubt the popular
taste is inclined to cling TO small sleeves.
People are not very enthusiastic about
big. full sleeves. And they certainly
are anything but pretty.
One handsome evening cloak is of
pompadour MORE. II is distinguished
from the popular Empire style by a
cape effect in the back. though there
are the flowing sleeves in front. 1t is
trimmed with sable. and lined with ac-
cordion-pleated chiffon. This idea of
sable trimming was seen on some very
handsome evening cloaks. PHiia. North

Suit To Stop Taxation.

Samuel Bancroft, Jr., of Delaware,
instituted suit in the United States Cir
cult Court this week to restrain the
County Commissioners of Talbot county
from taxing any of the property. rights
or franchise of the Baltimore, Chesa-
peake and Atlantic Railway Company
in that county and which are embraced
in deed of trust dated September |,
1894, from the railway company to the
Atlantic Trust Company, trustee. TO
secure an issue of bonds. The bill of
complaint, filed by Nicholas r. Bond.
attorney, states that Mr.. Bancroft holds
20 Of the |, $50 bonds Of 81 900 each Sc
cured by the mortgage.
II is claimed the property of the rail-
way company is exempt from taxation.
and that this act is a contract which
may not be impaired.
No attempt was made tn tax the prop
erty of the railway. il is stated in the
bill. until February II, 1898. when the
Mayor and City Council of Ocean City.
instituted suit To collect from 1892 to
1896. This suit was decided against the
railway company by the lower court and
by the Court of Appeals. II was taken
by the railway company to the Supreme
Court of the United States which dis
missed the appeal in December, 1900,
on technical grounds.
A bill Of complaint also states that in
1904, in a similar suit Of Mr.. Bancroft
against the County Commissioners of
Wicomico county. Judge Morris decided
that the railway company is exempt
from taxation in Wicomico county.
This decision Of Judge Morris was up
held By the United States Circuit Court
