been one continued success Especially Is
this true OF the past four years of It's ca
reer In 1904 Il quadrup'ed its business
over any preceding year of its history. and
so far in 1906 ii has closed more contracts
and has more work in it's factory than it
had during the entire preceding year. This
information should be very gratifying to
southern interest in southern enterprise.
Attention Is called to the fact that this
company employs no statesmen to sell its
product. Under this plan Miller safes can
be sold % per cent cheaper than those of
any other standard safe concern employing
expensive statesmen to sell It's goods. Asug
gestion is made to prospective safe buyers

Some Historic Old sites in Baltimore.

Baltimore has the honor of having the
sites of some famous old buildings which
are closely identified with the history OF
the state and nation. Some of the build
ings were swept away in the great fire,
but many of the older ones remain, monu-
ments to the original Baltimore
One of the famous old places carried
away and the oldest building at that time,
was located at the southwest corner of
Mercer and Grant streets. In the old days
ii was known as Kamenesky's Inn, and was
built in 1870. In the far back days it was
a rival to the then also celebrated Payne's
Tavern. 1T Calvert street and what is now
known as Bank lane Rogers Inn, an
other famous old hosiery. was located az
Calvert and Baltimore streets.
Kamenesky's Inn was famous long be-
fore Paynes and Rogers. 1t sheltered the
Acadian French who. under decree pro-
mulgated in 1866, were obliged to flee from
Nova Scotia. The story of these people is
told in that famous poem "Evangeline."
History tells that in the momentous days
of the American revolution, during the dis
cusson as to the advisabiity of locating
the national capital in Baltimore instead
OF its present place. meeting was held at
kamenesky's, and taht Gen. George
Washington, with other celebrated leaders
among the patriots went over the matter
in this historic old place.
The first three-story frame building erect
cd IN Baltimore was at the southeast cor
ner of Calvert and Fayette streets, which
was succeeded fifty years ago by three
story brick building. the home of the Ma
tional Mechanics Bank for many years.
and Is now occupied by the Baltimore News
building.
Years after It's erection the original house
on the site became a favorite rendezvous
for the republicans, who, about 17T5, be-
came known as the Sons Of Liberty The
streets about It We're regarded and later
large hall or lodge building was erected on
a part of the lot. The lower part OF the
structure was intended for and was occu-
pied by the Ancient and Honorable Mechau-
ical Company of Baltimore. and the upper
floors were devoted to meeting places for
lodges and societies. II was in one of these
rooms that the Sons of Liberty held secret
meetings. The building became at length
place of assembly for the citizens generally.
At that time the entire square in front OF
the building was hillside running from
North lane to st. Pauis lane. On this high
hill was located the court house In 1T72
all of the square was an open and vacant

is not attributed to any local condition, but
to the general depression in business sec

The Public Parks of Baltim

The public park system of Baltimore is
one of the best Of any city Of the country,
and at the May election. 1905, the people
voted favorably on the enabling act au-
thorizing the expenditure of s1.000.o00 for
park improvements and the acquisition of
new property for park extension.
The parks In Baltimore do not cost the
taxpayers anything by way of direct taxa
ton. The street railways company. IN con-
sideration for valuable franchises granted,
pays per cent of its gross receipts per an
mum to the city. This money is turned over
to the park board. which expends It.
Baltimore's parks, squares and water sup
ply lakes, which are also parked. embrace
LAP acres, within the city limits. The

ciated with public pleasure places. aggre-
gates 3.049 acres.

drick of the commission states the passage
of the Dawkins bill would add at least 20
per cent to the cost of the sewerage sys
tenn and at least 33 per cent to the time of
construction, because contractors for self
protection would be compelled to raise their
bids and skewise provide a safe margin on
the time limit.
A determined effort to secure the pas
sage of the Dawkins bill will be made by
the Federation of Labor. which Will like
wise send large delegation to Annapolis
next Tuesday.
The business interests of Baltimore are
unanimously in favor of the bill appropri-
ating 500. 900 for an exhibit of the states
industries and resources at the jamestown
exposition. The state exposition commits
sion has already formed tentative plans for
the Maryland exhibit. and win meet with
the hearty cooperation of every CONNER
cial, financial and industrial enterprise In
Baltimore city and throughout the state.
In the delegation which went to Annapolis
this week to urge q liberal appropriation

city and state. and il seems assured
that the S100, 900 apprs priation viii be
passed and promptly signed by Gov. War

After the Railroads
The pathway of railroads in Maryland is
rot at all strewn with roses these days.
While the Baltimore and Ohio probing COM

order. the bill providing for fiat rate of
cents per mile on every railroad In the
state was passed by the house. and the
opinion prevails that 1t will pass the sen
ate without hitch The bill az passed
by the house provides: THAT 1t shall not
be lawful for any railroad company oper-
ating its lines of railroad in the state OF
Maryland to charge more than cents per
mile between stations in this state; provid-
ed, however. whenever the distance between
stations includes a fraction of mile that
the said company may charge the full fare
of cents for the fraction OF mile. and,
provided further, that no such company
shall be required to sell any ticket for
fare between stations from the point OF
sale for less than cents"

a delegation of citizens from Washington,
Laurel and Baltimore were before the cor
porationS committee during the week, and
the claim was made that commuters be-
tween these cities are being Disseminated
against by the Baltimore and Ohio and
Pennsylvania. 1t was shown that COM
muters between Baltimore and Washington
now have to pay $50 more for a 1S0-trip
ticket than they did seven years ago. de-
spite the fact that the numbers of COM
muters has greatly increased. Figures OF
the rates charged between other points IN
the state were given. and the average was
shown to be is cents. The committee was
asked to fix the rate In Maryland at this fig
ure and urged favorable report on the
rairo bill, which sets this rate.
Another movement Is on here to test the
constitutionality of the act exempting the
Pennsylvania railroad from taxation on
bridges and tunnels. At present the CON-
pany pays In taxes approximately 100000
and the claim Is made that private citi-
gems on similar holdings pay 100000
year in taxes.
The Interurban Railway.
Announcement was made today at the
Offices of the Washington, Baltimore and

grading the roadbed between Washington
and this city would be opened here on
March 10 next. As yet settlement or
agreement has been reached regarding the
franchise granting the railway entrance to
IFS terminal in this city. President Bishop,
who is In Cleveland. will return here next
Monday. and 1t is expected that another
conference with the city council committee
on railways VIII be held during the COM ,
Ing week. AS soon settlement OF this
matter is reached the company will at once
have plans drawn up for the terminal sta
ton and general Offices of the company,
which are to be erected on the block bound
ed by Fayette Liberty and Marion streets
and Park avenue It Is the intention of the
company to make this building one of the
handsomest structures In the central Sec

fiisnla yed by the council is the only hitch
that stands In the way OF beginning work
