Equity No. 1868

Equity No. 346S
rINHE object of this suit is to procure a
l. decree for divorce Of the plaintiff from
tue defends on the grounds Of desertion
and abandonment
The bill states that the plaintiff and
defendant were married June 2Sth, 1908,
and lived together as m III and wife until
October LIST, 1909, when the defendant
without just cause or reason abandoned
the plaintiff, and such aband onment and
desertion has continued uninterruptedly
from that time up to the filing of this
bill, and is deliberate and final and the
separation Of the parties beyond any
reasonable expectation of reconciliation.
That the plaintiff by reason of Sal d
desertion was without support for her
self and child and compelled to move to
Mt. Rainier, Prince Georges County,
Maryland, on August 10th, 1905, where
she has since resided with her mother;
that tie residence of the defendant is
unknown, he having enlisted in the Phil
ippine service soon after deserving her.
1t is thereupon this Gath day Of Sep
TENDER, 1907, by the Circuit Court of
Prince Georges County, in Equity, or
dered that the plaintiff, by causing Il
copy of this order to be inserted in some
newspaper published in said Prince
Georges County, once in each Of four
successive weeks before the 29th day OF

ing him to appear in this Court on or be.

ought not to be passed as prayed.

THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING
AT ELKTON.

The Democratic meeting at Elkton
on Tuesday received neither sid nor
comfort from the Weather Bureau.
But when the Democracy is aroused
it cares little what the elements may
do, SAYS the Baltimore Sum- So
the demonstration at Judge Crothers
home was in every respect gratifying
as an evidence of the spirit which an
mates the D mocracy Of Cecil county
of their loyalty to the head Of the
ticket and of their confidence In him
as man worthy of the highest honor
which the Safe can bestow upon
him. The Democrats of Cecil were
privileged TO hear addresses on the
issues of the campaign by Democrats
well known for their ability as public
speakers. Especially must they have
been pleased to hear that veteran
campaigner, Senator Whyte, who, al
though ripe in years, is yet as young
in heart and vigorous in mind as be
was long years ago when he was con,
sider4d the best political campAigner
in Mary land.
Those who read the excellent report
of the meeting must have been struck
with the simplicity Of the Senator S
language-the plain, heart-to-hesrt
talk with which he interested and ed
fed his hearers. Senator Whyte is 3
postmaster OF the art Of "gsttir q
close" to his audience, aud he accom-.
plishes this result with an ease which
indicates the gift is innate. A per-
sonal ailusion here and there, nom.
ent of earnest talk, humorous sug
gestiou, an air of absolute sincerity
these are the ingredients which enter
largely into the bast Of stump speeches
Senator White mixes these and other
lngred ents with surprising skill. and
at "a years of age he is one of the
most effective political speakers in
tha country.
Judge Cro,hers has cause to con-
graduate himself upon the sincerity
and etoquence- 81 the Democrats who
advocated at Elkton the election OF
the ticket of which be is the head.
Governor WarfieId paid high trlb-
ute to him, saying that he believed
Judge Crothcrs would faithfully serve
the people OF Maryland and stand for
all of the measures which the present
executive has advocated for the goot1
Of the Safe. Senator White was
equally conneDdauory. Moreover,
he expressed himself with more than
his usual vigor in chsrscterizng the
"pitiful calumny" to which some of
Judge Crothers' political opponents

CACTUS MINE
REDUCES FORCE
MANAGEMENT Decides Greatly
to Reduce Output Pending
Change in Conditions.
ABOUT 300 MEN LAID OFF
TO MILL ORE MINED IN DEVEL'
OPMENT ONLY.

In obedience to instructions from the
board of directors, Manager Lafayette
Hanchett of the Newhouse Mines & Smell
tiers corporations properties announced
yesterday that the product of the prop
erty would be reduced at least one-half
and that a heavy percentage OF the men
EMPLOYED would be laid off during the
day Ii is understood that about 800 of
the 400 employees were released without
being given any intimation when they
might return to work.
For the time being" said Manager
Hanchett I'VE shall confine ourselves
strictly to development in the mine. The
mill, or as much of 1t as is necessary,
will be run one shift day TO treat the
ore that is taken out in the regular course
of development. The Wine that is be-
ing sunk from the tunnel level and which
is now nearing the 750-foot mark, will be
continued, as will also the opening up
of the ore bodies on the 7O0-foot level.
Development work that is in progress in
other portions of the mine will be con-
tinued, but there will be no stopping or
regulation mining done until conditions
improve. With absolutely no market for
copper at any price and with fuel condi-
lions such that We have to bring coal
from Illinois at a cost of slO75 per ton,
laid down at the works, II has evidently
been considered poor business policy on
the part of the directors to continue under
full headWayF
The announcement that the mine was to
be virtually closed down came as a most
unlooked-for and unwelcome surprise to
the street and, before it was really known
just what had been done or was contem-
plated, the stock dropped sharply. How
long the proposition will continue opera
lions under reefed sails the management
probably has no moTS idea than the pub
lie. 1t is safe to presume that full
resumption will not be ordered until there
is a substantial change for the better
IN market and money conditions.
