Historic Place Changes Hands.

The old Walker farm house, about half a mile
from the Valley Forge battlefield, the head
quarters of MAD" Anthony Wayne during the
winter of 177778. has just been sold by William
Fl. Walker, whose family has owned it for two
generations, to Alfred Clements, of the firm of
Willis & Clements, paper manufacturers, of this
city. The price paid for the property, which
consists of about $50 acres is understood to have
been about $4,000. The new owner will re-
model the old house, retaining, however, all its
characteristics, and will use it as country resi-
dence. Few points on the battlefield, with the
exception of Washington's own headquarters.
have more historic interest than the Walker
house. 1t was marked some years ago by the
Valley Forge Association with a commemora-
tive tablet, stating that it had served as General
wayne's headquarters. "Waynesburgh," his
ancestral home which is now occupied by VIM.
H. Wayne, the Generals great-grandson,i is only
four or five miles away, but Mad" Anthony
preferred to occupy the old Walker farm house
as his headquarters on account of its proximity
to the field. Tradition has it that under its roof
General Washington held many conferences,
and several articles of furniture are still pre-
served in the house which were In use there in
his time.

WHEN Is it legally noon. Fire insurance
policies expire at noon, ard the word is adj
mitted to mean exactly at II O'Clock midday.
But standard time has not been adopted in all
communities. Many small towns cling TO the
sun time, which may be from few minutes
to an hour earlier than standard. In one state
fire occurred at two minutes past noon, sun
time, and the insurance company held that
the policy had expired before the fire. Sun
time is used in that town, but the insured
sued the company, holding that local customs
did not run the policy, and that he was entitled
to his insurance. The state courts sustained
him. In another state similar contention
was taken to the courts and just the opposite
decision given. Several conflicting precedents
have been established in state courts and it is
said the question can only be decided for good
and for all when a case has been carried into
the United States courts and passed upon by
the Supreme Court.

A LETTER from Annapolis says Mr.. Swepson
Earle, of the Shellfish Commission, has made
a calculation of the areas of the oyster pro-
ducing bottoms in the waters of the largest
oyster counties of this State. The quantity of
oysters caught does not, of course, necessarily
correspond with the amount of acreage of oys-
reproducing bottom. It is found that Tai.
bot county has the greatest area of any county
and that Dorchester, Queen Anne, Anne
Arundel and Somerset follow in the order
named. The fact that Anne Arundel county
leads Somerset is q matter of surprise, the cor
respondent says.

The water has been frequently analysed, is
pronounced chemically pure, and is unsurpass-

The capacity of the wells has not been tested,
