A DANGEROUS PLAYGROUND

While awaiting the arrival OF the first
north bound train Monday morning, The
TRANscRIPT's scribe observed several small
boys playing around the station, and
while standing there wondering if the
parents of these boys were aware OF their
childrens whereabouts, the train arrived.
The scribe lost sight OF the lads for a
few moments, but when the train pulled
out he was Mortified to see one OF these
children running down the platform in
the opposite direction from that which
the train was running, with one of his
hands sliding carelessly over the side
Of the cars Of the fast moving train.
The boy, who has not reached his teens,
continued his course until the last car had
passed him, and then in company with
several others, who, we are informed makea
practice of spending several hours each
day around the station or playing near the
tracks, made his departure, never thinking
Of the tragic end which is likely to be
awaiting him at no far distant day, if he
continues to spend his idle moments in
this manner.
1t is not for the benefit Of the child
alone that we are reporting this incident,
but to remind the neglectful parents Of
the boys who frequent this dangerous
place of their responsibility. They should
make themselves more familiar with the
habits OF their children when absent, and
not permit boy of such tender years to
frequent these places when he is too
young to realize how quick his young life
may be ended.

The first new wheat reached Balti-

Chestertown, and brought $l.25 per
bushels. Six bags were in the lot and
it came from Lancaster county, Va. The
sample was below the quality Of the first
wheat that came in last year, r,still the price
this year was 15 cents per bushel more.
1t is said that this difference in price
represents the changed condition Of the

will continue around the $l.00 mark.

ANOTHER PARTY OF
FLEEING AMERICANS
Frightened From Mexico By
Anti Foreign Threats Made
by Servants.
SAY ARMY Is UNRELIABLE

New Orleans, La, July 21.-E J.
Matthes, one of the party of American
men, women and children who left
Mexico because of anti-foreign threats
and passed through New Orleans last
night en- route to Cincinnati, said.
One of the most alarming features
OF the situation is the fact that Mexi.
can servants have joined the antifor-
elgn movement and wives of foreign,
ers are in mortal terrcr lest their
families be poisoned by them. was
reluctant to leave the country but
could not resist the pleadings OF the
members of my family.
The anti-foreign movement is
strongest in the northern and central
portions of Mexico, where the natives
nave been wrought up to high pitch
of excitement by agitatOrs and agents
of revolutionary societies. Along the
Rio Grande border the movement is
not so strong because the Mexicans
fear the Texas people, who know how
to shoot The educated class OF Mex
leans is not in sympathy with the
movement, but they constitute a hope
less minority. The Mexican army is
recruited from the lowest classes and
cannot be relied upon. An uprising
is scheduled to occur in September
and it will probably be necessary for
the United States to throw an army
across the border 70 protect American
citizens"
