Elder Roberts OF the Mormon
church declared in Salt Lake last
Sunday that ministers belong to a
third sex, neither male or female,
and are better fitted for pink teas
than statesmen. This is the same
Roberts who was kicked out oil
congress few years ago because
of his polygamous practices and his
remarks ought to carry just about
rs much weight with decent people
as an utterance from the Sultan OF
Sulu.

The Water Question In Process Of Set
| el0mene.-By decision of the County Conn
| missioners, reached on Thursday, residents of
! Towson and Lutherville, have succeeded in
enjoining- the Baltimore County Water and
Electric Company from bringing water from
| its Gainesville plant to these places, and the
| present artesian well system supply will be
| continued. The water company applied to the
Commissioners for permit to lay mains on
Belvidere avenue so as to extend its Cations
vile service to the northern suburban villages
ofthe county, including Govanstown, Towson,
Lutherville and Hamilton. Residents of
Govanstown and Hamilton welcomed the pro-
posed increased water supply, but those OF
Towson and Lutherville strenuously objected
to the abandonment of their present artesian
well service and filed protest with the Com
missioners against granting permit to lay
the mains, unless it was stipulated that the
Gainesville water was not to be turned into the
the mains supplying Towson and Lutherville.
The Commissioners announced that they
would grant the permit to lay the mains on
Belvidere avenue, but the water company is
prohibited, under the penalty of the forfeiture
of the franchise from bringing Gainesville
water any farther north on the York road
than Stevensons lane.
Mr.. Osborne /. Yellott counsel TO the Board,
was directed to draw up an agreement in con-
formity with the decision, which the water
company will be required to accept before it
will be allowed to lay the mains OH Belvidere
avenue.
In their decision the Commissioners do not
pass upon the question of the purity OF the
water company's Catonsville supply, but have
endeavored to give Govanstown and Hamilton
what the people of those places want, and the
people of Towson and. Lutherville what they
want.
The Commissioners further stated that the
water company would also be expected to fur.
nish water to all residents of Towson and
Lutherville who desire it.
Mr.. A. de R. Sappington, one of the attor-.
neys for the water company, said that the
proposition of the Commissioners would have
to be considered by the directors of the COM
the latter would accept the conditions thereby
imposed.

A Puppy "Inherits" Hydrophobia..-
Born shortly before its mother became rabid,
beagle pup, not more than month old, de-
veloped hydrophobia suddenly Wednesday and
bit nearly every member of the family OF Mr..
Charles H. Manning, 2419 West North avenue,
says the Baltimore San.
Mr.. Manning called at the Pasteur depart
ment ofthe College of Physicians and Surgeons
and told bis story to DR.. N. G. Keirle, the d.
rector. When he left he appeared convinced
that it would be well to take the preventive
treatment, but no arrangements have been
made. H
The pup which created all the trouble in the
household was raised by Mr.. Manning. Its
mother died of rabies, and it is probable that
the dog inherited the malady. The little beagle
was a pet about the Manning home, and its
disposition had always been amiable enough
until the turn of conditions. Mr. Manning s
son, who is IL years old, was bitten first, and
then his 7-year-old daughter fell a victim.
Mr.. Manning was bitten later, and while in
the throes Of the horrible disease the puppy
ran after small kitten and attacked it.
Realizing that there was something wrong
Mr.. Manning killed the dog by knocking it in
the head. The carcass will be examined by
DIR. Keirle. All the evidence tends to show
that the puppy was mad.
