The Thomas Wilson Sanitarium.-A re-
port has Just been issued by the trustees of the
Thomas Wilson Sanitarium for Children, loca-
ted at Mt. Wilson, w. NJ. r. R., and founded
in 1879. While its work has been actively
carried on since 1884, none of its annual re-
ports have been published since 1893. 1t pro-
vides transportation to and from Baltimore
and furnishes its little patients with the best
hospital treatment An important feature OF
the work is the admittance of the mothers Of
the patients and a limited number OF their
brothers and sisters, who may be well but who
cannot be left at home, and for whom play
ground is provided. The number of patients
has varied somewhat in the different years.
This is due, in part. to the degree of the heat
of the season, and in part to the varying con-
ditions for admission. During the last three
years the patients have been limited to chill
dren under five years of age suffering from
some form of intestinal disorder. Ice is to be
had in abundance for cold storage, and dairy
is on the place. This dairy is equipped WITH
large steam sterilizer, ice chests, an abundance
of hot and cold water, racks, modifying tables
and all the apparatus necessary to quickly DIS,
tribute the milk mixtures in the individual
bottles and store it until used. Strict bacteri-
illogical and chemical tests of the milk are re-
peatedly made in the laboratory.

White Hall, N. @. R. R.-The county roaos
leading to White Hall Station are fruitful
source of complaint, and not without good
cause. This is an important station and mucn
milk and other farm produce is hauled here
to be shipped and the labor of this hauling is
much more than doubled on account OF the
condition of the highways. 1t seems thai
little work has been done on these roads this
year and the frequent and heavy rains have rem
dered some of them next to impossible. How
long this condition of affairs is to continue pf
course no one can tell, but even small amount
of relief would be appreciated by the long,
suffering taxpayers. "A
Bertha Eleanor Phillips the infant daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Luther Phillips, who live

Mr.. William H. Swift died on Thursday
morning at the home of bis son, Mr.. M: r..

Hurst Brothers, Farmers.-"It is the
farmers Hurst these summer days." said a
friend of Messrs John E. and Henry S. Hurst,
of the firm of John E. Hurst q Co., few
days ago.
The Messrs. Hurst are spending the summer
at the Hurst country place, on Charles Street
avenue and are incidentally demonstrating in
the most practical way possible that up-to-date
business rules are as applicable to agricultural
pursuits as to the affairs of big commercial en-
terprises. The Hurst property consists of
about 60 acres of beautifully sloping lawns,
wooded hills and a big block of land to be
cultivated in corn, hay and truck in great
variety-and always of the finest quality. 1t
is on these blocks of cultivated land that the
farmer phase of the life of the Farmers
Hurst" come in, and under their care the big
truck patches produce more sugar corn, toma-
toes and other vegetables than 20 families could
consume in season. The hedges are trimmed
Just when they need it the hay is cut and
housed Just when it is ripe and the truck
patches are cultivated along the most approved
lines. The two brothers, after spending the
busy hours of each day surrounded by one of
the most extensive stocks of dry goods and
notions to be found in the South, become
veritable farmers in their tastes, once in the
country. Sunday is a day for q general in
spection of "affairs about the place" and each
Sunday they may be seen walking among the
growing corn, through the truck patches or
over the recently cut hay stubble.-Baltimore

Farmers Hold Up Work.-Under this
heading the Baltimore Sun says: Preparations
for securing the right of way through land in
baltimore county for the outfall sewer have
been begun by the Sewerage Commission: The
course of the big sewer has been selected by
Chief Engineer Hendrick, and the pro1le MAJ
been made. Already a number of farmers
have been communicated with by the com
mission, but as a rule they ask exorbitanI
prices for the privilege. A number of them
| the Commissioners think, believe the city viii
keep this land permanently. As matter o.
fact. after the sewer is built the earth will b
placed on top of it and they can again cultivate
the land In a number Of cases the sewer viii
be at least 20 feet under the earth's surface
When this is explained to the farmers it il
thought the majority of them will reduce th'
price. A large part of the sewer will be lait
under public roads, and this right will be go

cans from securing treaty rights ana
had hampered the British government
In assuring such rights to Americans

here.
On the contrary ohlcials declare tnat
the British government strongly up
held every contention advanced by New
Foundland until a few weeks ago
when 1t suddenly abandoned the colony
and surrendered to the Americans.
The colonial ministry has decided not
to resign and intends to fight the mat
ter to the end. 1t will suspend the
regulations prohibiting the local use OF
purse seines thereby putting the col
onists upon an equality with the Amer
lean fishermen.
It will dispatch the cruisers Fiona

areas. All existing colonial laws VIII
be rigidly enforced against the Amer,-
cans for the least onense. Auer
can vessels will be confiscated instead
~ fined al formerly. Every conces-
sion hitherto granted the Americana
will be withdrawn.
Local fishermen will be encouraged
Ia occupy the waters before the Amer
icans arrive. The government mas re-
