A THREATENFE NUISANCE

Our attention was called this
week by some O. the residents OF
the western end Of the town to
the disorder that prevails at
times in building on Railroad
Avenne, which hasibeen recently
converted into a headquarters for
the colored license club. So far
Rhe disorder has been confined to
tainy days and Saturday nights.
Only the worse element of the
eolored voters frequent this place
hnd when drunk they raise a
Righty din and people who are
mpelled to pass that way are
en forced into the middle of the
eet, besides having their ears
lied with language of the
kind. We feel sure that if,
his public notice, the head
RS are not removed, or bet
or maintained, the Town.
will see that it is closed
however, this be not
pse who are annoyed will
appeal to the state.

4 BOOMERANG

It does not pay to advertise
falsely. This is true OF mer-
chants as well as of the License
Committee. No better evidence
Of the truth Is needed than the
events of the past week. AS q
paid advertisement, there ap-
peared Ii gsYeral of the Delaware
papers, an article purporting TO
be interviews with prominent
citizens of Salisbury, Maryland,
among them the mayor OF the
town and one of the Judges OF
Circuit Court. Almost immed-
lately denials of an emphatic
nature were printed and a meet
ing called for last Monday night
to protest against such misrep-
resentation. At the meeting it
was estimated that 1000 people
were present out of a population
of 5000 and forcefnl speeches
were made in defense OF the tair
name of the town.
The consequence is that much
of the past and future advertise
ments Of the License Committee
are discredited. AS when a mer-
chant in his ad .misreprese Its the
facts, the people having been
fooled once, decline 10 try it
again, so one of these License adj
vertisements having been ahsgs
lutely proven to faxed the sus.
picion attaches that all are OF the
same calibre.
No blame should be placed on
the papers printing the advertise
ment. When merchant hands
in his copy offering, say, shoes
for 40 cents, we do not go to his
store to find out if he has the
stock, but if he is a reputable
man we take the ad. In the same
way papers which are offered
these License advertisements
take them in good faith.

 How the dog found the residence of his young mistress. will always remain mystery. When Miss Clark came out of a restaurant yesterday. the dog was sitting. wan and guant, in front of her lodgings. At the eight of her, he dashed forward. and had both paws around her neck. With a glad bark from the dog and an effectionate hug from the girl. the recognition was complete.
 To make sure of his identity, how ever, the dog was put through some of the paces he had learned aa pup He vas then taken home. fed and put to sleep. Miss Clark and her mother have been living in their present quarters only three weeks. Previously they lived in several parts of the city. Their change of residence must have made the dogs task difficult.

Confusion of signals is said to have been the cause of the accident.
 Both cars were running at a rapid rate into a dip in the track when the crash came. The incoming car was heavily loaded with persons on their way to work in the city and most of those killed and injured were on this car. Both motorulen were killed in- stantly. The dead:

 The collision occurred during heavy fog, one car was splintered badly and the platform tern from the other.
 The accident was preceded by a break of some kind at the power house ana the current was off during q dense fog which served to keep the motor man in ignorance of the close proxim- ity of the cars descending Into the dip: A third car was coming just behind the incoming car, and missed q second collision by only q few feet, Electric signals were confused and as result three cars were on the same block at the same time.
