THE LIMIT OF LIFE.

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are numerous in the conclusion
that the generally accepted limitation
of human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines it's duration, seems to be
between so and 60; the proper care OF
the body during this decade can not be
too strongly urged; carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Natures best
helper after so is Electric Bittters,
the scientific tonic medicine that re-
vitalizes every organ of the body.

NARROW ESCAPE OF STREET
CAR.

On Saturday afternoon a car going
south on the street car line, jumped
the track just after entering the st.
Clair street bridge. It. ram against a
heavy beam on the side of the foot
walk, on the west side of the bridge,
and. swept it away; then, running
against two steel uprights of the
bridge, was brought up by them.
Otherwise it would have jumped to
the rocky shore of the river. some
twenty or twenty-five feet below.
No one of the passengers or crew
was hurt, the car but slightly damaged
and traffic was soon resumed.
Manager Sallee thinks some obstruc-
ton was placed on the track, which
caused the car to perform the "circus
act
AS the grade is pretty heavy extra
power is always turned on as the cars
make the rise to the center of the
bridge.

ATTENTION, CITY AUTHORITIES!

A number of the best citizens of
South Shelby street request us to
call the attention of the city authori-
ties, and the City Engineer. to the
condition of that street, from Todd
street south. 1t has been cut up so
badly by the heavy hauling to the
new capital grounds that it is almost
impossible for any kind of vehicle ex-
cept the heaviest and strongest wag-
ons.
Things have gotten in such bad
shape that the dairymen are refusing
to deliver milk to the housekeepers
of that street, which is not only a
great inconvenience, but a positive
hardship. as there are quite a num-
Der of infants who are dependent
upon them for sustynance.
Have it attended to!

The studies on which they were

thousands of dollars annually lost by
planting the wrong forest trees or by
improper care of plantations.
From the manner in which our natu
raj timber has been cut it is clear
that each region will have to be made
as nearly self-supporting in timber
growth as possible. The lesson of
the past is that the right forest trees
grown in the right way will bring a

Distinctly Lower Grade"

Attorney. General Bryan, OF this State, has
regretfully declined to speak during the
present campaign In Frederick county up.
on the Invitation Of Mr.. VIM. Maulsby, the
Democratic nominee for State Senator, on
account OF previous engagements. After
wishing Mr.. Maulsby and his associates on
the ticket success, 10 his letter he offers the
following argument favoring the success Of
the Democracy 10 MarYland;
"The strongest argument for the election
OF the Democratic ticket at general State
election In Maryland has always seemed to
me 10 be that II the Republican party car
Ties the election and We have Republican
State Standardization all the minor offices in
the State will be filed by Republican party
workers.
at would be idle, of course, to deny that
some Of the best citizens OF this State are
Republicans In their politics; 1t would be
equally idle to deny that the great mass Of
our average citizens are Democratic in their
politics. Partly from historical reasons the
personnel OF the Republican workers Is Of a
distinctly lower grade than that Of the Dem
ocratic party workers. No matter how ex-
cellent u gentleman the Republican Gov
ernor may be, he cannot give the State as
good set of public servants as a Demo-
cratic Governor would give them, because
he has not the material at his hand. He
simply cannot make bricks without straw
"Governor Lowndes was an excellent IL
lustration Of this fact. He was well-mean.
ing, upright man, but the justices oil the peace
and other appointees made by him were Of
distinctly lower grade than the holders Of the
same offices appointed by his successor or
his predecessor. And this was not Govern
or Lowndes' fault; he simply did not have
the material at hand to enable him to make
good appointments. The same difficulty
in securing acceptable public officials would,
Of course, apply to Republican Board Of
Public Works.
ut is more important to the comfort OF
the good people OF this State that the pub.
lie officers with whom they are thrown In
daily contact should be fit to properly and
acceptably discharge their duties than IL ID
that We should have Democratic United
States Senator or Democratic President.
"And In saying this. l do not at all mini
mize the importance OF Democratic ad-
minlstratlon at Washington. I am merely
saying that troubles at home annoy US more
than when at distance"

New SubdiVlsiOn.-The active work OF
improvement by proposed subdivision is
to be begun at once. The scene OF opera.
lions will be the tract Of 1870 acres of land
in Bethesda district, OF this county, on the
west side OF the Tenleytown and Rockville
electric line and south Of Bethesda Park.
This property was recently purchased by
Mr.. U. d. Seltzer at 9 cost Of between 500, :
900 and $4,000. Mr.. Seltzer has associa-
ted with himself in this deal Mr.. Abraham
Hess, ex-mayor of Lebanon. Pa, and Mr..
Charles o. Booth, Of the same place.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Settler and his
associates to Immediately subdivide this
tract In more attractive way than is usual
ly done with similar properties around
Washington. Great attention will be given
to the Identifying of that section, and later
on the question of sewerage, etc., will be
taken up. The tract is rolling enough for
good drainage, and IL 10 the intention OF the
owners TO have the lots Of larger size than
usual, possibly not less than 100 feet front
and 200 feet deep and up 10 three and five
acre tracts.
Certain limitations will be placed on the
property in order 10 make II an up-to date
subdivision and park, but the cost Of the
construction OF houses will not be limited
90 much as the design. 30 as TO add 10 the
attractiveness Of the place. On a section
Of this property there is 9 small tract Of
woodland, within which there Is . spring
OF water. II is the purpose TO have this
woodland cleared up and turned into per-
manent park for the benefit Of the property
owners. Other features will be brought
out as the property is developed.

Two Miles of Fairyland.

1.-TWO Miles OF Fairyland passing In review
before the delighted spectators" this was the
reply given by Mr.. Jerome H Joyce when
asked to describe the electrical pageant that
will form the night feature Of Thursday,
October 18th, of Old Home Week At Balti-
more, Md.
Mr.. Joyce is chairman of hard working
committee that has been diligently laboring
to make the pageant the most splendid affair
OF the whole week Of beautiful parades. He
has been pushing the details Of the work 30
successfully that the entire program Of that
luminous night 10 now complete. The
cars are under construction and the fairy
queens, and beauteous maidens, and elfs, and
all the little people of the lands Of wonder
are training for the parts they are TO play 10
the spectacle.
The electrical pageant will present se-
ries Of beautiful allegoricsl pictures that will
stand out in the darkness Of the night under
the rays OF thousands Of multi colored cleo
trio lights that will be mounted on the floats
themselves. In order that the effect of the
handsome picture may not be marred by
insinuating rays from outside sources IL Ia
purposed to have every light along the route
OF the parade extinguished just before the
head OF the procession arrives. thus leaving
the luminous carnival 70 light its own way
as well as to illuminate itself, which 1t will
be abundantly able to do with the legions
Of incandescent bulbs which form such an
important part Of its adornment. "a
Five bands will furnish enlivening music
for the noiselessly gliding floats, which will
represent variety Of falryland scenes, sug-
gestively picturing the floral products and
the seasons of Maryland. The human-or
fairy-roles on the floats will be enacted by
young men and women Of the German sing
ing societies who are training for their tasks
with the usual vim evlnced by these people
In matters Of this kind.
As an evidence OF the magni6cence OF
the parade 1t may be stated that the pro-
duc,ion will represent an outlay exceeding
$4,000.
The parade will start from Baltimore and
smallwood streets at 8 o'clock promptly,
Thursday evening, October 18th. and move
by way Of Baltimore street TO Broad way, 10
the foot of Broadway, and return over the
same route.
The titles of the floats will be as follows
No..1, The Birth Of Day; No. 2, The Waters
Under the Earth; No. 8. The Playground
Of the Sea; No. 4, Spring; No. 8, The
Fernery; No. 8. The Bower OF the Wild
