Judge Duncan on Slot Machines.-On
Tuesday last Judge Duncan heard the protest
against the transfer OF liquor license to Geo.
]. Seifert, at the National Fishing Shore, 18th
district. About month ago the court heard
protests to the granting of a license to Seifert.
and the latter withdrew his application at that
time. The testimony brought out at the hear
ing on Tuesday was to the effect that on Sun
day, April Goth, while the court held under adj
visement the granting of license to Seifert.
whisky and beer were being sold and slot ma
chimes were being played there.
Judge Duncan, in refusing the license, said
81 never meant anything more in my life
when I charged the first grand jury that slot
machines must go. | said the first person
brought before me would get heavy fine, and
the next one would, in addition to fine, go to
Jail or the House of Correction. In this case
the applicant has shown an utter disregard for
the law and the warning of the court and his
license will be refused. Liquor selling on Sun
day will continue as long as men exist who
disregard the law, but they need expect no
consideration when brought before me-"

''The Fendalr'-A New Variety of Straw
berry.-Mr. Charles E. Fendall. of Towson,
who is known as a successful grower of fine
strawberries, has originated variety of berry
that he has named the Kendall" We bad
the pleasure of sampling some of them this
week and found them not only of unusual size
for the season, but of rich color and delightful
flavor. Speaking of this new berry Mr.. Fendall
said This berry originated in my garden at
Towson. The plant was found in the spring
of 1906 in row of William Belts; therefore Il
is either a Seeding or a sport of the Belt.
When / first saw the stranger Immediately
marked it. When it boomed observed that
the blossom was imperfect while the Belt, as
is well known, is perfect. It fruited few
berries in 1905 and they proved to be large and
attractive-so much so that at the end of the
season carefully moved the plant to another
part of the garden. From this plant succeed
ed in getting enough plants to set out row 80
feet long. This was done during the months
of August and September of 1905. The plant
is an exceedingly strong grower. from IL to 10
inches high, and throws out a great many
runners. The berry is early-in fact, week
earlier than any other very large variety. Its
color is deep red, when fully ripe, and it is
shaped somewhat like lemon-large, to very
large-with very large, snowy cap. 1t is very
prolific, the ground on each side of the row
being literally covered with berries"

tomobilists? A few days ago motor car came

Many ladies do their own driving in this COM
munity also children of tender years. The
horses are not used to the horseless coaches.
My Lady's Manor prides itself on its good
horses and fair women and the residents would
ask automobiles in the future to be merciful
and drive their machines slowly until our
horses become accustomed to the sight and
sound of them. Render unto others their just
rights is good motto in.pleasure as well as in
business. Women and children with broken
bones are not pleasant companions on pleas
ure trip.

Don't Like Rural Free Delivery
of The Union I'm your last issue you had an
item stating that the residents of Dulany's
Valley are pleased with the new r. F. D. route.
AS a matter of fact the residents of the valley
are distinctly not pleased. AT two days notice
we were put back twenty years in postal facili-
ties. Whereas we used to get our mail in the
morning and have our letters delivered in Bal
timore on the afternoon of the same day, we
now do not get our mail until noon, or later.
Our letters do not reach Baltimore until the
next day, while often letters mailed in Balti-
more before 10 o'clock P. NJ. do not reach us
until the second day after. Living only five
or six miles from Towson, we should be served
from there and we should at least have the
most efficient and convenient service that the
Government can give. Yours truly,
A RESIDENT OF DULANY's VALLEY.

COURT OvERTURNs
VERDICT AGAINST
FRENCH SOCIETY

Pamelie Pelchat will never get the Si2
awarded him by jury in his suit against
the Societe des Artisans Canadiens, Fran
Gals, de Montreal. Succursale de Provi-
dence, No Is, alias John Doe.
The supreme court has set aside the
verdict and returned the case to the su-
perior court with instructions to enter
judgment for the defendant.
In the rescript the court says: Tho
evidence conclusively shows that the
money sued for was lent by the plaintiff
on the personal note OF one Dupont. who
was treasurer OF the local organization,
and that out OF this contract no claim
could arise against the corporation
against which verdict was rendered
IF the local organization ever assumed
the debt by taking the proceeds OF the
money borrowed. It had no authority 10
bind the corporation; and the plaintiffs
husband, who, as her agent, negotiated
the loan, was president Of the local asso-
ciation, and knew that It had no such
authority The evidence also utterly fails
to show that the money borrowed ever
came TO the local society or was used for
its benefit"
