THE prime object in the proposed B. & O.
investigation is to find out just what the Cor
poration owes the State, and the true worth
OF the States interest in the Washington
Branch. Ii it should appear wise to dispose Of
the States holdings, they should not be sold
at less than fair market price If the B. & O.
managers can be forced to pay arrearages the
State should collect its claims. The matter
may be ''worked' for political advantages but
set on foot. What the people want is the full
est possible information bearing upon the sub
ject. A remedy may then be found, if it does
not suggest itself.

Z the passage Of the bill introduced in

The measure is heartily approved and eu
dOrsed by every Cecil Curutian having the

to close, which would be ii local calamity
Not OILY the town of Chesapeake City but
many Industries, such as the Ieibert Boat
Yard, and Pulp Mills at Elkton, employing
q large number of men, would be seriously
affected and especially its closing at this
time when the National Government has in
contemplation the making of it Ship Canal
would be Il matter, most diasttOus to the

ty.
Pas the Bill, and continue the operations

GETTING \ FOUNDATION.

The first work started, after the erection OF
shantics, was the sinking OF a Golfer dam to di-
vert the course OF the stream into the channel
bctwccn Fry Island and the York county shore.
This will leave the rocky foundations OF the
great wall dry for hall its length. Then mouds
OF lumber the exact shape of the dam will be
erected where the huge dam is to stand.
The construction of the dam will consist of
dumping concrete into the timber forms and
tamping it until it is solid. The timbcrs will
then be removed and a massive stone wall will
remain. Alter the dam is completed the Golfer
dam will be removed to the York county shore
and the same operation will be repeated. Carey
T. Hutchinson is the engineer in charge.
Cnskilcd laborcrs are getting 81 so per day,
saw and Ratchet men, s. to $3.50, and carpcn-
tcrs from s. to $5.25 per day. Other mechanics
will be paid the highest wages. The company
boards its employees, charging S4.5o per week,
for board and bunk or So per week to those who
want sleeping accommodations in a bed.

THE State Senate has passed the Brewing
ton Bill deferring general registration of vot-
ers throughout the State until 1912 Super
visors will probably be authorized to have
names OF voters transcribed into new books
whenever such may be necessary. There was
some demand for a new registration but it
would seem that the lists can be purged of all
names improperly carried upon thin by due
care upon the part OF watchful partisans.

100000 HORSE POWER.

and franchises to the mouth OF the river, dis

these lands and franchises have been purchased

An Old. SwindIe

A swindling game that was
worked successfully back in the
is being revived with
success in the Northwest.
A sharper enters a business
house makes a small purchase
and offers a $40 bill in payment,
gets his change and departs.
Then his confederate enters,
makes his purchase and hands
the clerk a ST. bill. When his
change comes he insists that the
bill was a $40 bill, and asks that
the proprietor be called when the
clerk declares that it was a 81
bill. The CRATER tells the pro-
prietor that the thing can be
easily settled. The $40 was all
the money he had, he says, short
time before he had occasion to
wish to remember a telephone
number and jotted it on the bill.
"See if $3.50 Ii is not marked on
the bill in your cash drawer he
says, IF you find such a. bill it is
nine OF course that inscrip-
ton has been marked on the $40
by the first visitor, and the PRO
prietor no longer hestitates be-
fore such conclusive proof, but
calls down the unfortunate clerk,
who believes his sight has served
him a trick.

Romeo and Juliet.

One of the plays that for in
Vulnerable years has held en-
tranced the theater loving public
is that of the beautiful drama,
Romeo and Juliet" Its great
vaeiety of characters, augmented
by every possibility for costume
and scenic effects, makes it a pre-
sentation that is always welcome.
The version of the play used by
this company which presents it
at the Hope Opera House Friday,
December lis one too infrequent-
ly seen on the stage. By a slight
Encouragement of the scenes the
story of the young lovers of the
houses of Montague and Capulet
is told clearly, like the modern
novel, with none of the tedious
ness that sometimes cumbers the
classic. Miss Ida Root Gordon,
who assumes the role of Juliet,
plays the part with an ease and
grace that lend an enchanting
portrayal to that beautiful char
acter. Mr.. Devore Farmer, as
Romeo, is an able co-star. His
acting of the ardent lover is far
above the average. The remain
der Of the cast consists of players
cerefully selected as to their
suitability for the various famed
roles. The costumes are new
and beautiful and are historically
correct. All in all, the play is to
be presented under the most fav-
orable circumstances.

Christmas In Spain.

There is no civilized country on
earth in which children are not
made happy by the promise CT
the coming Christmas time. But
in every country the festival is
called by a different name. and
its presiding genius is painted
with a different costume and
manner. You know all about our
jolly Dutch Santa Claus, with his
shrewd, twinkling eyes, his
frosty beard; his ruddy face and
the bag of treasures with which
he comes tumbling down the
chimney, while his team of rein
deer snort and stamp on the icy
roof. The English Christmas is
equally well known, and the won
ders of the German miracle. tree,
the first sight of which no child
ever forgets. But you are, per-
haps, not so familiar with the
spirit Of the blessed season of
advent in southern Europe, and
so we will tell you some of the
pleasures and fancies of Spanish
Christmas.
The good cheer which it brings
everywhere is especially evident
in Spain. They are a frugal peo-
pie and many a good Spanish
family is supported by less than
the waste of some household in
this country. But there is no
sparing at Christmas. This is
a season as fatal to turkey as
Thanksgiving in New England.
The Castilian farmers drive them
into Madrid in great droves,
which they conduct from door to
door, making the dim old streets
gay with their scarlet wattles and
noisy with obstreperousgobbling
But the headquarters of the
marketing during those days are
in the Plaza Mayor, where every
variety of fruit and provisions is
sold. There is nothing more
striking than those vast heaps of
fresh golden oranges plucked
the day before in the groves of
Andalusia; nuts from Granada,
and dates from Africa, every
flavor and color of tropical fruit
age; and in the stalls beneath the
gloomy arches, the butchers
drive their fourishing trade. All
is gay and joyous chattering and
jesting, greeting of friends and
filling of baskets. The sky is
wintry but the ground ruddy
and rich with the fruits of
summer.
