A Test of Character.
Indianapolis Stdl

Does the average young man starting out in
life appreciate the Importance of paying. his
debts2 Merchants will tell you that in cases
out of 10 he does not. He intends to, of course,
but 1t is SO easy to buy things when credit is
extended, and there are SO many things that
can be done with the money that comes in that
the average young man not in business for him.
self is disposed to dodge creditors when he can
and pay them only when he has to. And he
is blissfully unconscious of the tremendous
damage that he does to himself He knows
that he is making good" with bis work, that
he is doing fully as good work in his particular
line as anybody in town, and yet strangely no
offers of positions from other concerns come
to him. Even when he gives broad hints that
be would like to better his position the hints
pass unnoticed. For some reason unknown to
him he even meets with the misfortune of los
ing the position he has, and when he actively
seeks another it is hard to get. 1t is all simple
enough to one in touch with merchants and
bankers. There is no freemasonry among
them, but the question of whether this or that
young man keeps his slate clean of debts is q
very frequent subject of discussion. 1t is usu-
ally the very first point on which business
man wants to satisfy himself when he consid.
ers offering some young man position, and
he very naturally inquiries and learns the
truth.

He is Former Baltimore Countian.-
Mr.. William T. Conn, one of the Republican
nominees for Judge of the Orphans Court for
Baltimore city, was born in the 9TH district of
Baltimore county. In a brief sketch of him
the american says: William 7. Conn, the
veteran business man, enjoys the respect and
confidence of the community. Mr. Conn has
always been Republican, but not partisan.
When only 81 years of age he was a candidate
for school commissioner in Baltimore county,
which was then, as now, strongly Democratic,
yet defeated by only % votes. Soon after he
moved to this city-and lived in the old Eighth
ward, now the Tenth. Here he served as Re-
publican Judge of election and in those days it
required courage to officiate in the window.
He was a candidate for the Legislature in 1879,
and counted out as usual, but two years ago
he consented to be candidate for Clerk of the
City Court, he just missed being elected Many
Democrats are for him because of bis effort to
ameliorate the condition of the poor during
the coal famine. He refused to take advan-
tage This opportunities and when many others
put on a heavy tariff he charged the usual
profit. Not only this, but he distributed his
allotment among the small dealers so that the
poor might be reached. Mr.. Conn is fine
talker and makes an impressive speech"

Protesting Against Smoke.-On Thurs
day the County Commissioners heard the pro-
test of a number of residents of Green Spring
Valley against the granting of franchise to
the Mount Washington Water Company tolay
mains in that section ofthe county: The COM
panv proposes to bore artesian wells and erect
q pumping station at Rogers Station. One of
the objections offered is that the use of soft
coal at the plant will cause smoke nuisance.
The Board is in doubt as to right to its prohibit
the use of soft coal if the franchise is granted.
The matter was held under advisement.

Another Richmond in the Field-He
Wants to be County Commissioner-Mr.
P. B. Crosby, of the LIST district, has announced
his candidacy as an Independent Democrat for
County Commissioner of Baltimore county.
For several weeks Mr.. Crosby has been circu-
lating petition throughout the LIST and I'd dis
tricts and has obtained the signatures of 2l5
registered voters who declare their intention of
supporting Mr.. Crosby By provisions of law
it is necessary for an independent candidate to
get 200 such signatures in order to have his
name placed on the ballot by petition.
Mr.. Crosby says that he will file his petition
with the Election Supervisors next Monday,
which is the last day that any candidate may
enter the field. In discussing his candidacy
Mr. Crosby said:
"In politics | have always regarded myself
as an independent but in the last 10 years
have voted for number of Democratic candi-
dates. Before that time l was Republican. l
have entered this fight at the solicitation of
friends in opposition to County Commissioner
Henry P. Mann, who is a candidate for re- cleo
ton. do not believe that he is properly
qualified for the Office.
Another objection is that he is one of Mr..
Talbott's lieutenants, and we are opposed to
the leadership of Mr.. Talbot AS the nomi-
mating system now stands Mr.. Talbot names
all the tickets in the county without any con-
sideration for the people. The primaries held
in the county are farce, and what the people
demand is the Crawford county system of
nominating.
I'VE are enthusiastically supporting the leg
islative ticket because Mr.. Talbot called the
convention early in June in order to make sure
of his delegates to the county convention that
nominated the legislative ticket, so that he
might have legislative candidates who would
vote for him for United States Senator. By
the action of the State convention these same
candidates, instead of being the tools of Mr..
Talbot, became servants of the people and
must vote for whoever the people say. Balti-
more county will see that these candidates
nominated by Talbot cast their votes for Gov
ernor Warfield for United States Senator"

pleasant Hill 9th District.-The weather

Pleasant Hill, 9Th District-The weather
seems to have settled since the heavy windstorm
of last week and farmers are taking advantage
of it by cutting their corn, sowing grain ana
getting out their potatoes. We are having
heavy frosts that have ripened up vegetation
and caused the leaves to fall-a reminder that
the melancholy days are coming.

as well as Democrats. The bracing weather
caused all to enjoy the hot coffee and sand
witches, if not the public speaking. 1t was GER
tainly a good opportunity to see old acquain-
tances and also to make new ones. One tine
most conspicuous parsonage present on this
occasion was the candidate for sheriff OF Car
roll county on the Democratic ticket. He IS
among Carrolls largest men and If elected VIII

"Uncle Jake" BolliDger, ofnear New Freedom,
who boasts of having attended over twenty
picnics this season, came in about the eleventh
hour and received likewise his sandwiches ana
coffee.
The United Brethren Conference, which met
last week at New Cumberland, Pa. closed It's
session on Sunday night when the appoint
ments were made known. We notice that
Rev. f. B. Emenheiser, who has so very accep-
tably ministered to the spiritual wants OF the
people of Rayville Circuit for four years, has
been sent to Lehmaster Circuit, in Franklin
county, Pa. The parsonage is located in a
five appointments to serve, which are centrally
located. Another appreciated feather is the
fact that there will be an increase in salary.
But we doubt very much if he will have as
many nuptial knots to tie as he had at Ray
vile. He has very interesting family and
our people are 10th to give him up. Rev. N:
A. Karicofe has been sent to take his place and
will preach at Cedar Grove Church and also at
Salem next Sunday. Mt Zion appointment,
which belonged to Rayville Circuit. has been
taken off and attached TO Greenmount Circuit,
under the care of Rev. II. W. Fuse.
Pierce & Sheck will give moving picture

on Saturday, 10Th inst, for the benefit of the

church. Doors open at o'clock. Tickets

Rev. Mr.. Brian, of the NJ. E. Church. Eklo,
intended to begin protracted services last Sun
day night, but owing to the Home Coming
Week in Baltimore postponed the meeting un-

bers an opportunity to enjoy themselves in the
Monumental City.

Better Raise Poultry Than Scandals.

A Pittsburg millionaire has established a
chicken farm on tract of nine acres in the
residence district of that city, his purpose be-
ing to provide his family with fresh. eggs and
tender broilers. AS the land is valued at $780,
600, this would seem to be rather extrava-
CANT outlay for eggs, even for Pittsburg. 1t is
better, however, for these millionalres to raise
poultry than such crops of scandals as they
have been turning out and may be hailed as
sign of reform.
