PEGGY STEWART
DAY REMEMBERED
IN OLD BALTIMORE

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 19.--To-
day is the one hundred and thirty
first anniversary of the burning of
Peggy Stewart, day dear to the
heart of every patriotic Mary
lander The anniversary has always
been observed by the members of
the various patriotic societies all
over the state and this year the
societies of Baltimore have made
special efforts to make the celebra-
ton impressive and memorable.
The most important features of the
day will be the annual meeting of
the Maryland Society Sons of the
American Revolution this after
noon, followed by a banquet in the
evening. Governor Warfield, Mayor
Timanus, President George Gather
of the city council and other promi-
nent guests will be present at the
banquet.
The story of the burning of the
Peggy Stewart is one of the most
interesting in Maryland's history
The brig Peggy Stewart arrived in
Annapolis at a time when the feel.
ing against the taxation of Great
Britain was very strong and when
it was announced that the cargo OF
tea which the vessel carried was
subject to this tax the indignation
became white hot. A meeting OF
the citizens of Annapolis was held
and the public was so incensed that
it was only the act of the owner OF
the ship, Alexander Stewart, who
set fire to the brig with his owl
hands, that appeased their indigna
ton. 1t is told that when Governor
Eden, the last of the colonial gov
errors, who was in Annapolis a
the time, witnessed the burning O
the ship from a window of thu
state house, exclaimed in surprise
why, that looks like rebellion!
Miss Dulany, friend of the gov
ernor's family, who was present al
the time, said: at is rebellion
rebellion against tyranny"

Mrs. Lee is a rather large, placid
woman. Her friends have done what
they could to keep her in restraint
without having her incarcerated in
an institution; but she has beneral-
" succeeded in giving them the
slip and making her way to where
the president happens to be.
Upon her arrivals at Oyster Bay
she was generally penniless, and
when she arrived in Washington
the other day she was without
money or baggage. A warning tele-
gram from her husband to the Sc
cret service officers preceded her
arrival, and when she appeared at
the White House she was taken in
charge and locked up, pending med
ical examination as to her sanity.

assumed name she went from town

as none of her wealthy relatives
had ever dreamed of-book agent.

many capacities in which she serv-
ed the public and received in return
pittance on which she supported
herself
Finally, after crossing the CONT
nent, she arrived recently in Los
Angeles, where she took a place
among the fruit packers. None of
those working by her side guessed
that the soft-voiced, gentle-manner-
ed little woman of whom they all
grew very fond, was an heiress to
a fortune which held no illusions
for her.

25OTH ANNIVERSARY
OF JEWS IN AMERICA

There is to be much observance
of the 250th anniversary of the set
Element of the Jews in the United
States.
The anniversary occurs in this
year, and the celebrations are to
take place on the Saturday and Sun
day before Thanksgiving day, and
some on Thanksgiving day, in vari-
Gus cities of the country. The Jew
ish churches and the social, benevo-
lent and literary organizations are
to cooperate to make the anniver-
sary memorable.
In the two and one-half centuries
that have elapsed since the first
body of Jews settled upon this con-
tinent the pioneers of the race have
been followed by multitudes of their
creed seeking and finding religious
liberty and freedom of existence.
The Jews waxed prosperous and in
fiuential on this soil, and have
made a record for citizenship that
is unblemished and which has DEM
onstrated to the world, not without
decided effect, that the Jew, if given
a square deal, is a bulwark of civ.
ilization.
Here are some statistics:
The Jewish population of the
world is estimated at only 1000.
900.
1t is divided thus: Europe $780,
122, Asia 342,410, Africa 3S2,432,
America 1,574,022, Australia 17,4O3.
New York appears to have the
greatest Jewish population of any
city in the world, 672,776.
Next come Lodz (Poland) and
Vienna, 10000 each.
London has 13S.S60, which is but
81 per cent of its total population.
Berditschev, Russia, is almost ex-
clusively Jewish, its $4,000 Jews
forming S7.52 per cent of the popu-
lation.

Josef Israels, the Dutch painter,

Speaking of the c. A. R. encamp-

we'll and truly says: The nation
takes pleasure in seeing the old he
roes get together and enjoy them
selves, but whereas their meetings
formerly were looked upon with un-
alloyed satisfaction they are now re-
with sadness 1t has not escaped OBJ
servation that while the crowds
which attend the annual encampment
are as large as ever, the proportion
of Civil war veterans in them is
growing smaller The armies of the
Union were composed of the pick
and flower of the North, and despite
the hardships they endured, the sold
iers will live to a good average age.
But it is now forty years since the
war ended. In the course of nature
great majority of those who par
tioipated in it must soon be gone.
The numbers that gather around the
camp fires will henceforth diminish
with increasing rapidity.

PLYMOUTH'S NEW ADDITION.
Big Sale of Lots in Fairview Place
Last Saturday.

The auction sale of lots at .Fairview
Place, on Michigan street, drew a
very large crowd last Saturday after
noon. The new addition is just south
of the fair grounds and on the east
side of Michigan street and the sale
had been extensively advertised in
the daily and weekly editions of the
Plymouth Tribune, consequently a
large attendance was assured.
Thirty-eight lots were sold, just
one half of the addition. The whole
tier of lots on Michigan street was
sold ana all of the north and south
tiers except the two lots in each,
nearest the river The central block
of lots remains unsold and the pro-
prietors expect to get good prices for
them. The lots sold for from $50 to
$1s5 each. This sale shows that
many people believe that Plymouth
has great future and will become a
city of more than 10000 inhabitants.

Trial of the Packers.

The approaching trial of the Chi
cago packers gives promise of being
teh most important legal battle that
has been fought for more than half
a century. 1t is the combiiied power
of the people, represented by the
Government, graphing with one of
the most powerful and daring COM
binations of capital that has ever
been organized. In a very large
measure this combination has sue
ceeded in gaining control OF the meat
supply of the country and the general
complaint is that it has, by various
unlawful practices in restraint of
trade, succeeded in keeping down the
price of cattle paid to the stock
raiser and increased the price of
dressed meat sold to the consumer,
thus taking to itself an extortionate
margin of profit
In pursuit of this general purpose
it is claimed that these men have
stihed competition by means of rail-
road rebates, conspiracies to control
prices in various markets and other
methods forbidden by law The Gov
ernment has for more than year
been accumulating evidence to sup
port these charges and has succeeded
to such an extent that it has obtained
indictments against considerable
number of men largely responsible
for the management of the companies
composing the combination.
The financial resources of each
side in the struggle are practically
unlimited The best legal talent of
the country will engage in the strug-
gle, and there is every indication that
it will be fought to definite con-
clusion. 1t will not be question of
sending a few unimportant subordin-
ates to Jail or of imposing fines that
would merely serve as a tax on lille
gal pratices If the Government
shall win its case a number of mil
lionaires owning and managing the
policies of these corporations will
pay the penalty for violating the law
in the only way that can be effective
in putting an end to such practices,
namely, by suffering personal impris-
onment.

Paying Penalty of Neglect.

The statement from DR.. Nelson
Brayton, who is studying the yellow
fever epidemic at New Orleans,
makes it clear that at the outbreak
of the disease the city and State
health authorities were woefully, if
not criminally neglectful. Had the
nrst cases been properly isolated at
once and strict precautions been TAX
en- to prevent the dissemination of
the poison, there probably would
have been no serious epidemic But
for fear of hurting the trade of New
Orleans, or from sheer stupidity, the
health board failed to act, and the
infection had become established be-
fore the presence of the disease was
acknowledged and people were warn
ed to be on their guard Then came
the heavy blow to New Orleans bust
ness which general quarantine
against it meant. The city is paying
the severe penalty of its own neglect
to do its duty. 1t never pays a city
to attempt to keep an epidemic quiet.
Sooner or later the facts come out,
and the effect on the community's
welfare is then sure to be much
more serious than if absolute frank
ness had been observed from the
first.
