IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.

Freight rates on agricultural lime have
been reduced from LeGore, Md, to all
points on the W. NJ Il. z. This is of great
importance to You, as it puts you in posi-
ton to get the best land improver and crop
grower On the market at very reasonable
prices
Nur lime is shipped hundreds ofmilcs ana
into ten U0l different states for agricultural
use, and its superior quality has been known
for years. We can manufacture tue best
lime on the market because we have the
bcy, formation of limestone in the East
Anh we have had experience enough 10
know Low to proportion the different KINDS

Ten years ago our lime WAS used by the
farmers along this roai in very great guam
titles, but the high rates instituted by Mr.
Griswoll made the price prohihitiye. Very
reasonable rates ere now in effect and We

Mddletown, Mr.. Faber saw the reptile
making for him. Being an expert marks
man he drew his revolver and shot the
reptile in the head 1t measured about
seven feet in length Mr.. Faber pays no
attention to snakes of this size, for he
has been in Africa where he has shot
reptiles that were Is or 20 feet long, and
which were as big around as his leg. His
first shot is always effective as he can
hit the bulls eye with his eyes shut.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPOND

WASHINGTON, D. c., SEPT. STlI.
Tact Of kind, that if used after
the sea battle of Santiago, would have
spared us national humiliation and
international ridicule has recently
been displayed in Army circles and
given rise to the hope that the sell
seeking SO prominent among officers
of the service may be giving place to
higher motives OF courtesy and good
feeling. By the retirement next
week of Lieut.. Gen. Corbin and the
advancement Of Major Gen. MacAr-
thur a vacancy was created which at
forded the President the opportunity
long desired to advance the present
chief of staff Brig. Gen. Bell to the
rank of Major General. This office
is the administrative head OF the Ar
my and carried salary, honors and
position of the highest order in the
Army. But General Bell has declin-
ed it in order that Brig. Gen. Jesse
M. Lee who belonged to the old
Fighting Ninth" Infantry and who
now commands department in the
PHILIPPINES might attain to the rank
and pay of Major General before be-
ing retired for age next January. The
action OF Gen. Bell in this matter has
aroused considerable enthusiasm for
him in military and official circles
and may serve to set an example IN
a service which for small iealousies
and extreme cgoism been second only
to theatrical stars and prima donnas.
Moved by the long delays and the
just complaints of fully ten thousand
inventors the Commissioner of Pat
ents has at length taken the step that
he should have taken twelve or eigh-
teen months ago in issuing an order
that the one hundred and thirty ex-
pert examiners under him shall con-
tinue to work until five o'clock p. m.
until the examination Of applications
for patent shall be brought up to date.
As it is now the work in number OF
divisions is ten months behind and
this means that an inventor on pre-
senting his invention to the Patent
Office must in some classes of inven-
ton wait ten months before it is taxi
en- up by the office for examination.
This however, is far from saying that
his application for patent will be al
lowed in ten months for the first ac-
ton by the patent office on an appli-
cation for patent is in very rare in
stances, perhaps not one case in a
hundred, an allowance: the allow
ance in such case may not take place
for from three months to year after
the first action. The condition in
the patent office has been altogether
inexcusablc and the dilatoriness there
is in the main the fault of the Com
missioner of Patents.

Mr.. John P. Poe, whose reputation
as a Democratic champion and a
deeply learned lawyer reaches far be-
yond the borders Of Maryland, ex-
pressed the opinion on Monday last
that the nomination of Mr.. Bryan
as the Democratic candidate for Pres
ident in 1908 will be calamity to
the party and his election an impos-
sibility." This declaration is par
ticularly significant in view of Mr.
Poe's past services and devotion to
his party. His Democracy has al
