LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE. Nd. July LIST. 1908

BALTIMORE, MD, July lsL, 1SUc.
Messrs Editors These are sweltering days in
the city and the mind of the municipality turns
from the pursuit of Mammon to the contempla-
ton of the babbling brook. bird anthems, shady
hooks and the nerve-restoring serenity of rural
aspects. He thinks of the zephyrs laden with
oxygen, the odor of flowers and new mown hay
and resolves to HE him forth at an early date to
drink in these rural delights. This may or may
not be Authorization. Location and environ
ment have lot to do with it,
1t frequently happens that If there are fish in
the brook they will not as much as nibble at the
alluring bait and the anthems of the feathered
choristors are only rendered while he is in the
arms of Morpheus, and that malaria is large
ingredient in the courted zephyrs.
Then there is no cornecopia of edibles like that
of our markets, but it is hustling time for our
rural friends. This holiday weather is a stimu-
liant that incites them to prodigious efforts in
securing their harvest.
Your correspondent recently made trip to
Loreley. Nd. and found that the booming of
this locality for suburban town had in meas
ure subsidized, and new impulse, born of agri-
cultural zeal, is much in evidence. The soil has
been enriched, the building of large barnsland
storehouses for the housing of crops are in pro-
gress, dozen teams were moving and hauling
the abundant harvest Of hay to the barracks,
and all about were rush scenes that illustrated
the old maxim, make hay while the sun shiues.'
Mr.. Frank Dreyer who, since his return from
the wild and wOoley West, has bought the old
home, near Lcreley, and the farm adjoining, and
intelligent, progressive methods in growing
crops and farm management is Enthusiastically
evinced.
Mr.. Jerry Barton. of Loreley, has been ex-
tremely i'll from carbuncle on his neck and
stomach trouble. He has so far recovered as to

DR.. ]. f. H. Gorsuch. Congratulate the people
of the county upon their good fortune in having
so capable, energetic and alert Health Commits
sioner as DIR. Gorsuch. He will administer the
office along enlightened lines and approved
methods The doctor is weighty man in every
particular. He has, as is we'll known, a strong
but we'll modulated voice. He makes an ideal
presiding officer at public meetins, bat he is
hard on gavels.
The epidemic of rabies that made walking on
the streets perilous, has, after long struggle,
stirred up a majority of the city fathers to
sense of the danger that menaced the safety of
pedestrians and that of their humane duty in
the matter, flnally.passed an ordinance requir-
ing all dogs on the street to be muzzled or held
in leash. This action upon their part does not
seem to be taken seriously by some of the dog
owners. 1t is a common thing to see ours roam
ing the streets without any abridgement of their
liberties. Some of the muzzles in use seem to
have been constructed in mockery of this law,
such muzzles proving no effective barrier to the
dog using his teeth on the human anatomy. c.
