Mr.. Duval was employed by the At

His wife, who was Miss Belle Jarboe.

telegram informing her of his death,
being accompanied by her brother-in-
law, Mr.. Charles F. White of Hutton.
Last evenings Baltimore News con-
tanned the following with reference to
the sad affair:
How the accident came about is
something of a mystery Apparently
all that is known of the death is the
statement Of Engineer r B. Downs,
who says that Mr.. Duval was walking
along the track at a point between Cal
verton Station and the Franklin-street
bridge when the train, going about 80
miles an hour, bore down upon him.
He says he blew his whistle some time
before the train reached Mr.. Duval,
but that the train struck the man and
threw the body some distance in front
Of the locomotive. The train was stop
ped and the body was taken to Union
Station, where it was removed to the
Morgue. At the Morgue it was identi-
fled by Mrs. J. B. Osborne. "

THE LAST LEAF UPON THE TREE.

The last leaf upon the tree
Swayed by the winters blast :
All beauty gone, and usefulness,
Alone it hung as'travelers passed.
One came bent down with age,
Shivering with the winters chill
Beheld the leaf so brown and scar
Clinging to the branches still.
We are much alike, lone leaf, said he
We cannot all go first, you see
But sad, indeed, it is to be
The last leaf upon the tree.
We are sadly left alone,
Useless, helpless, forgotten of all,
In this winter time of life
Waiting our time to fall.
A touch from the hand of God,s
A breath from the clouded skies.
Rest has come at last,
The leaf and the old man dies.

THE GLAEES OF GARRETT.

Bentztown Bard in the Baltimore sun.
Aye, the Highlands for their heather,
Killarney for its braes-
For me the glades of Garrett when the
golden buckwheat sways,
When songbirds fill the forests and the
sheep upon the hills
Go with little bells that tinkle to the
tinkling Of the rills;
The golden glades Of Garrett where the
hours are yelled in CLEAN
And the footsteps of the spirit walk in
cloisters of the dream.
| have climbed the lovely SUBMITS, |
have seen the blue mist lay
In the green lap of the mountains
through the golden summer day;
| have seen it lift and tighten, | have
seen it float and swing,
Like veil that moves to dancing of the
1.-THE, frail form of spring;
| have gazed down, wild with wonder,
Ger the green glades at my feet
Oh, the golden glades of Garrett with
the sheep bells tinkling sweet
Buckwheat pastures, where the pirates
of the blue, bee-litten main
Seek the cargoes of the blossoms in the
sunny pollen rain;
Lordly plateaus, vast expanses, noun
tains grandly, greenly fair,
And the tonic and the balsam of the fra
grant forest air
Yes, the golden glades of Garrett are
the Highlands counterpart,
Only sweeter only bluer in the warm
love of our hearts!
Lowing cattle, fairy meadows, flashing
cascades, lost and found
In the shadow and the silence, in the
tinkle and the sound;
White clouds STOPPING to the hilltops,
pine-clad peaks above the snows
All the rapture, all the wonder, all the
charm of it know
Know these golden glades of Garrett,
where bright shuttle, ray by ray,
Weave the web of wonder beauty where
the green glades stretch away!
Aye, the Highlands for their heather,
Killarney for its braes--
For me the glades of Garrett where the
golden buckwheat sways;
Where the rovers in the clover on their
honeyed wings go by
And you step right off the verges of the
green hills to the sky,
The golden glades of Garrett-in my
heart of hearts they CLEAN,
And | near the sheep bells tinkling to
the tlnkling of the streaml

THE LABOR LAW VIOLATED
ERROR IS RESPONSIBLE
Stores and Factories Guilty Under New Labor Meas
 ure in Effect Sept. 1.

Stores and factories of the state that employ women and children under 16, have been violating since September the recently enacted labor law, be- cause of clerical error in making up the public acts of the recent session ] General Assembly.
 This law provides that in manufac- turing and mercantile establishments 1 where such minors and women are I'employed there shall be working week of not more than 5S hours for such employees. A working week of 60 hours is allowed, however, for nine months of the year, provided that dur ing the months of June, July and Au- gust of the same year there be a work ing week of 55 hours for such em- 1 ployes; and provided, further, that the owners of such establishments post notice signifying their intention of having 55-hour week three months in the year, such notice to be posted previously to January 1, of the same year in which the 60-hour week is allowed.
 Another condition relieving the own CTS of such establishments from liabil- ity under the act relates to an emer- gency in which repairs must be made immediately. In such a case it is proper for the owners to require such employees to keep at work until the necessary repairs. are effected or the emergency relieved.
 It was the intention of the framers of the act to have it go into effect on January 1, 1908, but whoever made up the public acts failed to insert this provision in the act, so that 1t went into effect September 1, when all the acts not otherwise provided, began to operate as laws.
 For each violation of the law a fine of not more than $2O Is provided. A violation in, the opinion of the law ,yers, occurs for the employment, of every person who comes under the provisions of the act.
