THE MARYLAND LYNCHING.
Some Comments of the Press on the Mob's
Crime.
MOB CRIME
From The Baltimore Sun.

From The Baltimore Sun.
The act of the mob was a crime against the the
laws an insult to the courts and an outrage upon
the sovereignty of the state. Moreover, it was
useless and a senselesS crime. The penalty which
the Negro fend had incurred under the laws of
Maryland is death. He had confessed the crime,
and reasonable person could doubt that the PEN
atty would have been imposed upon him with no
more delay than the orderly course of justice de-
mands He would have been hung, and the spec
tacle would have had far more wholesome effect
upon those disposed to commit the same offence
than a lynChing.

The Mayors objection to the placing OF dis
tinguishing marks on the automobiles used by
city officers is doubtless well founded. so far as
the cars used by inspecting officers are con-

NEW YORK SOCIETY.

Christmas may be said TO furnish a brief breath

midst Of the strenuous activities OF particularly
brilliant season. which II cuts into halves. For the
first moiety Of the wnter-namely. that which ex-
tends from the Horse Show at Madison Square
Garden until Yuletide-is devoted less 20
the introduction OF debutantes into society and
TO their launch into the fashionable world under
the most favorable auspices In fact. December
may be said TO constitute the one month OF the
year sacred OF all others 20 the debutante BY
Christmas they have all "come out" and the re-
mainder OF the season IS devoted to entertainments
OF a more elaborate character than those OF which
they have until then been the principal attractions

occur between Christmas and the beginning OF
Lent. which this winter comes exceptionally early

NO MANNER OF EXCUSE.
From The baltimore American.

The Infamous crime of the man who was taken

was a chariot covered with leaf gold,
