Sketch OF Hartman.

The following sketch of Hartman, the
railroad maguate, who has recently dis
closed to the Interstate Commission
some of his remarkable deals and freeze
outs, is re-published from Life:
Most financial wolves come out of the
rural regions, lean, empty, keen and
hungry. The aptly-named Hartman
didn't. He was to the manner born, of
the Wall Street wolf pack, suckled in its
traditions, trained in its ethics. Wall
Street has neither religion nor soul; its
creed is cash, its practice the transmigra
ton of roles, its progression being the
spider, the fox, wolf and the man eating
tiger. Recent years have added another
to the ROLL combination of teeth, appe.
tite and digestion, with the arms and
reach of the octopus, the mouth and floor
space of the anaconda. Some designed
to call thissnew type the Jawndee; but
exact science has named it the Harry
Man.

Chinese Hotels.

The hotels are usually grouped with

one seeks to attract guests by high

is not so bad, but the traveller who
goes to one of these houses to sleep

The bedrooms are small, thin walled
boxes in which you may hear the
breathing Of your next neighbor or be

SIT is believed that the form of State

exist and strong county organization,

The Philadelphia Ledger declares the
records of past Pennsylvania Legislatures
for raids on the State Treasury pale into
insigni6cance when compared with the
onslaughts already recorded at Harris
burg, despite the fact that the present
session is only half over. Legitimate
expenses for which provision must be
made have grown enormously; the de-
mands of practically every paternalist
department conducted by the State are
greatly increased, while scores of bills
introduced by members from every sec
tion of the State propose new lines of
activity, increases of salary and other
means of gouging dollars out of the
Treasury.
Should all bills, appropriations and
claims receive recognition it would repre-
sent the expenditure of over S68, 900, 600.
As it is the appropriations likely to be
made will wipe out every dollar of rev.
enue flowing into the State Treasury in
the next two years, besides eating up a
generous portion of the States So, 600, oco

Jamestown Exposition Stamps.

The Postal Department at Wash
ipgton has decided to add a five
cent stamp to the ones and twos
already determined upon as the
commemorative series for the
jamestown Exposition. The 5 cent
stamps, 100000 of which will be
issued, bear the likeness of the
head of POcahontas in blue.
The head of Captain John Smith,
in green, is to decorate the 10000,
600 one cent stamps. while "The
Founding of Jamestown" repre-
senting the first landing on that
island, is to be pictured in red on
the 100000 two. cent stamps.

We are in receipt of the 18th annual
report of the Bureau of Industrial Stats
tics and Information, for the State Of
Maryland 1t is the third report during
the term of Chief of Bureau Charles ]
Fox, and like its predecessors is mos,
complete The work of enforcing the
Child Labor Law is imposed upon this
department, and in the opening chapter
of the report the Chief of Bureau gives
the result of the work of six months
under the law, which has been most
fattering to the department and useful
aud profitable to the citizens of the State.
A number of amendments ARE recon
mended to the present law.
Other chapters of the book are devoted
to review of the labor disturbances of
the year, review of the work of the
Employment Bureau established by the
department, an investigation of the cost
of living, in which it is stated the Bureau
believes the so-called prosperity now so
much exploited in the newspapers is
about to react, and forewarned being
forearmed, it is wise for our people to
prepare for such reaction. The chapter
devoted to farm products and immigra-
ton into the port of Baltimore will prove
useful and valuable for reference

located in the Equitable Building. Balti-

The meeting called last week by those
interested in improvement of the public
road from Calvert to Pennington resulted
in no definite action, all efforts looking
toward the hoped for betterment being
completely blocked by that short-sighted
and narrow minded spirit which has done
more, probably, to retard progress in the
good road movement in our county than
any other, one thing. Parties living
along other roads went into the meeting
with the clearly defined purpose of defeat
ing any move likely to result in steps
looking to the accomplishment of that
for which the call had been issued, and
have the satisfaction of knowing that
they attained their selfish ends.
This dog in the manger spirit which
has ever manifested itself when the road
question has been discussed, is allowed to
seriously interfere with almost every
move in the direction of hoped for better
ment of our public highways, the one set
policy OF these obstructionists, who are
unable to secure sanction for work they
desire, being to discredit and defeat the
efforts of others, in place of lending aid
to secure improvement in other sections
and thereby winning supporters to fur
ther the cause in the section in which
they are most directly interested. 1t is a
we'll known fact that lack of available
funds prevents the construction of more
than short sections of improved roadway
from year to year in our county, and the
policy pursued by the obstructionists at
the recent Calvert meeting not only re-
tards the already slow progress being
made toward better roads, but does much
to defeat the very ends for which these
parties themselves are striving.
But these retarders of progress still
persist in pursuing their old tactics,
despite the fact that experience has
proven it rebounds to their disadvantage
and results in the defeat of their most
cherished aims.
