Auuapolis Notes.
Correspondence of The Star.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, October 10, 1906.
Mr.. Thomas H. Robinson, counsel for the
board of shellfsh commissioners, has, upon
request of the board, rendered an important
opinion as to the rights of the state to
lease ground which is within the bounds
of property owned by individuals, but upon
which the waters of the bay or it's tribu-
taries have encroached and now cover. In
the opinion Mr.. Robinson affirms that the
state has this right
The question arose over the contention of
the present owners of st. Inigoes Manor,
in st. Mary county, but it is of widespread
interest, as vast amount OF acres now ly-
ing under water once were within the
metes and bounds of landed property.
The original patent Of st. Inigoes de-
scrlbes 1000 acres, but the estate now con-
sists of only 1850, and the remaining 15O
acres now lie under the water.
The proceedings of the court of appeals
today were as follows: No. q. The Can
ton Company Of Baltimore against the
mayor and city council of Baltimore, ap-
city, was concluded by Arthur George
Brown for the appellants and James 8.
Goldsmith for the appellees;
No. %. Virginia d. Smith ct al. against
Joshua Humphreys ct al, appealed from
the circuit court for Baltimore city, was
argued by Walter 1. Dawkns and John B.
Gray for the appellants and James NJ
Monroe and George Forbes for the ap-
pellees:
No. 33. Agnes Dooley Clark against Edith
b. Callahan and Edward J. Callahan ap-
pealed from the circuit court for Balti-
more city, was continued by agreement.

what the Hen Does.

We are frequently-too frequently
told of the gerat things men do; how
they dig into the earth or build upon
the earth or dam up the waters and
irrgate the earth. but the great hui
man enterprises of which we boast SC
much sink into insignificance when
compared to the records achieved by
the ordinary hen.
The cackle of a hen that has. laid
an egg is modest and unobtrusive
compared with mems noisy buster
abouth their business.
But in proportion to the noise made,
the hen has the far more genuine
substance.
In two months she lays more value
than The annual production Of all the
gold mines of the United States.
Every three months she produces
more than the years production Of
pig iron.
Her eggs for six months are worth
mare wealth than the capital stock
of all the banks in the New York
clearing house.
In less than two years she could pay
of the national debt.
The annual report of the secretary
of agriculture shows that last year
the eggs of the United States were
worth more than the cotton or the
wheat more than all the potat0rs, the
barley. the tobacco. the sugar cane and
the rice. They practically equal the
dairy product and are surpassed only
by the corn crop Of bumper corr
Iyear.
nd the hen made Z new record
last week. On one day there We're re-
ceived in New York over 10000 cases
containing 15.125.O00 eggs. The hens
business for one day in one city
amounted TO 250,O00-Atlanta Jour-

NEGRO POET DUNBAR DEAD.
Achieved More in Literature Than Any
Other Man of His Race.

Paul Lawrence Dunbar. the negro
poet and author. died last week at his
home I'm Dayton. o.. of consumption.
He was born in Dayton, in 1872. I'm
like most members of his race who
have attained distinction in this coun-
try, he was a full-blooded negro, both
his parents having been slaves in the
south before the Civil war. After he
had finished the public school he Sc.
cured a position as an elevator boy
In one of the municipal buildings in
Dayton, and continued to hold the
place long after his verse began to be
accepted by the newspapers and mag
azines because the revenue from his
writings were not sufficient to sup
port him and his mother. 1t was not
until Dood, Meade & Co., brought out
his first book of verses that the mag
azines publishers who had accepted
his contributions were generally aw-
are OF the fact that he was negro
With the $400 he received from this
book he went to Europe and received
much more attention in England
where his work was greatly admired
( He also wrote for the stage and con-
tributed the most OF the lyrics for the
comic opera in "Dahomey."
Although not yet thirty-four years
old when he died, Paul Lawrence Dun
bar has achieved more in literature
than any other member Of his race in
this country. In all he wrote twenty
one books. William Dean Howells. in
reviewing his second book, Majors
and Minors" said:
'As far as 1 could remember Paul
Lawrence Dunbar was Cor is) the only
man of pure African blood and OF
American civilization to feel the negro
life aesthetically and express 1t lyri-
cally."-The Editor and Publisher

GOD AND THE EARTHQUAKES.

1t is positively painful TO read the
comments of some ill-advised numb
skulls on the great disaster at San
Francisco Some say it was the wrath
Of God visited upon the city because
of its wickedness: others, that God
wished to demonstrate his power and
make naughty men feel his absolute
helplessness. Why is it that these
shallow pates are always ready TO
credit the Almighty with every disas-
ter that occurs? They mean TO be
|reverent, of course, but to a person
who thinks. such talk is the height of
lirreverence. The forces of nature
work in accordance with what We call
law for want of a better name. and
when men are in the way of an erup-
ton, a cyclone or an earthquake, they
must take the consequences. God does
not need to destroy thousands OF in
Inocent people TO demonstrate his pow
ler. II God is love, the power OF love
llieth not in force. If the operations OF
nature are carried on under immuta-
BILE laws, do not expect the powers
that govern all to perform miracle
to save even a city. 1t would be a
strange world, indeed, where the same
cause did not always produce the same
effect. In such world not even the
shade of a certainty would exist. Mat
ter and force would be the sport OF
within and chance, and chaos the re-
suit. Therefore do not ascribe to God
disasters like that which fell upon
San Francisco. 1t is not only irreve-
lent but stupid.-St. Petersburg indie

What the Republicans Stand For.

The platform adopted at the late
Indiana republican state convention
stands pat for "the time honored re-
publican doctrine of protection" and
further declares that the republican
party is the friend of the protective
policy through good aud evil report
and adds that it ''can be trusted to
make changes in tariff schedules
whenever more good than evil will re-
suit. As the convention was dominated
by Fairbanks and Beveridge who are
ardently for the ship subsidy steal. OF
course they and their henchmen stand
for the plundering tariff which al
lows the trusts TO sell cheaper to for
eigners than 10 our own people They
doubtless stand for the republican
time honored custom" OF bleeding the
tariff-fostered trusts and protected
combines OF campaign funds so as To
have the chance 10 continue the plum
dering of the many for the benefit of
the few IL is we'll known they. stand
for this through good and evil re-
port and ''can be trusted" to fool the
seople as long as the voters allow
them to do so.

Another Object Lesson.

We would rather talk crops than
politics any old day when the politics
are nothing better than clamorous
and selfish personal scramble for Of

best kind of crop talk to those who
think that growing cotton is the chief
end of man in the farming districts,
is diversified crop talk, for in divesi-
fication lies our hope of prosperous
future for our agriculture. TheoriZing
is all we'll enough, but it impresses

care little for abstract reasoning and
earn their living by constant touch
with material things as the only way
