Let Them Vote, of Course.

The Maryland Woman Suffrage Association
has decided to bring before the next meeting
Of the Legislature bill allowing women to
participate in the next Presidential election.
The women of this State have always enjoyed
an equality in law with the sterner sex greater
than exists in many of the other states Of the
Union, which is evidence Of broad and fair
minded treatment from the governing sex. II
it is proven that the majority Of Maryland
women wish this equality to be emphasized
and extended there is no reason to suppose
that the same fairness of view which has al
ways signalzed Maryland men will be lacking.
The Mary land woman has never been placed
in the position of poor down.trodden inferior,
either legally or socially-the Maryland man,
though he may be conservative, is fair, just
and always gallant.

Hartford Fire Insurance Company -
Prosperous Year--The annual meeting OF
the members of the Hartford Mutual Fire In
snrance Company was held in the offices at
Belair, on Monday last. Mr.. Noble L. Mitchell
was chairman, and Mr.. j L. Mccormick, sec
rotary. The president. the secretary and treas
urer, and the inspector of risks made their sew
eral reports, the first two of which being so
closely linked together will be summarized as
one and in view of the fact that such a large
numbsr of people are deeply interested in this
company, we deem it advisable to give an ex-
tended summary, showing It's present flourish
ing condition.
The net results of the Gath year of the COM
pany's operations are: More insurancein force,
greater cash receipts and the largest reserve
fund in the company's history.
There are in force 6,206 policies covering
risk of $40, 192, 016 34-1 sol of which, cover
ing So ST.. 331 so, were written during the past
year. The receipts during the year amounted
to $50 64269 being an increase of II, 668. 81 over
the previous year.
Fire losses amounted to S24 80, the main
items being dwelling houses $44 093 &c; barns,
SO 3S2. 90; stores, 50, 500; hotels 81 ,56I 50
bride, $1,000; and the main causes of these
fires we're sparks from stove to floor, S2,4OO;
defective iues, $500; spontaneous combustion,
81, 100; supposed incendiarsm, $500; light
ming. 81, AGO. miscellaneous and unknown,
$500.
1t is worthy to note in this connection that
loss from terra Gotta hues amounted to only
1910, showing the vigilance of officials in re-
ducing to minimum this dangerous risk and
no losses from canning house risks.
The most important item of disbursements,
apart from the fire losses heretofore referred to-
is that of 50 400 for completion of office build
ing. which now represents an assest of $1,000,
aud $11 1854 10 total cost of administration, be-
ing slightly over 20 per cent, of the total in
come. This leaves balance of Sl3, S69. ~ cash
as the net result of the years business.
President Dalam states that the re writing
of the old form policies has proceeded satisfac
toriy, though there are still between 800 and
1000 policies to be re written.
There are no old liabilities carried over ex-
cept one unadjusted loss of 1888 ard losses ad
justed but not paid amounting to 81 200
Inspector and special agent l.. Mccormick
among other things states in bis report that be-
has during the year inspected SCI risks and
written AZ applications, aggregating 1856, 1000,
and that he has adjusted and settled IL claims
amounting to $13, 1856 Sc, and as a result Of re-
duced risks on his recommendation 81 800 was
saved which sum would have been increased
approved He calls attention TO the difficulty
cessive cost of building, and is disposed to
recommend that risks on barns be still further
reduced.
The chair appointed a committee, consisting
of Messrs T. H. Ward, James Lee and John D.
Worthington, to examine these reports and
make their report to the general meeting OF
stockholders to be held on Monday, January
9th.

About Taking Cold.--No one knows exactly
and at all times how he takes a cold, and after
he gets one the doctors do1't know how to
rid him of it, says an exchange 1t is as mys.
terious as rheumatism and has as many RENE
dies-say, ten thousand, more or less. One
doctor has come to the conclusion that a cold
is "dirt disease" and can be cured by abstain
ing from food entirely for two days and nights.
But with colds, as everything else, an ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure.
So one wise physician asserts that it is prac-
tically impossible however for anyone to
catch cold who habitualy breaths properly,
or, in other words, who uses the whole of the
lungs for the purpose. Most people use about
half the lung space, with the result that the
blood does not get properly oxydized. When
ever you catch yourself holding your breath,
or breathing short at once put the will to work,
and draw a series of deep, natural breaths, and
you will find that it has marvellous effect in
banishing fear WEAKNESS, doubt or pain.
The following is grand exercise to accustom
your lungs to take in its full complement Of
oxygen Stand erect by an open window, and
steadily breathe through the nose until you
feel your lungs are quite full; then exhale
through the mouth slowly. At first you will
find yourself getting dizzy. You are intoxica.
ted with oxygen. Later on you will get used
to the lifesaving stuff, and you will find that
in every respect you are healthier and stronger.
This prevention of cold seems rational.
Most remedies are not. Try the former.

Pleasant Hill, 9th District.-The heavy
rain OF this week has rendered our county
roads almost impossible. 1t is hoped that our
new Board of Commissioners will see that cur
section of the county receives little more at
tention than it has heretofore. We have ouly
to cross Mason and Dixons Line into York
county to see far superior system of road
making to that which we have. Probably
ours is case of too much science applied. 1t
might be we'll for our Solons at Annapolis this
winter to give this subject little thought.
The K. of P. of Rayville will hold an oyster
supper next Saturday night, December 18th.

The farmers of this district have organized
a Grange at Rayville which promises to be of
inestimable value to the tillers of the soil. 1t
is largely composed of young men, the old
fogies being left out. Consequently we may
expect big things from this new blood, so we
would warn Commissioner Byerly and others
of the lower end of the county to look out for
their laurels next year in big corn-growing.
Mr.. Frank B. Kidd was our champonicorn-
grower this year, raising ears Is inches long,
and if the season hadn't closed when it did
there is no telling how long they might have
been. There is much corn still in the fields to
be husked.
Butchering is the order of the day with our
people this week. We expect to hear from
Judge Hoshall next week.
