the commentators upon the college

Risks Death for Science.

In the hope of discovering a pre-
ventive and cure for tuberculosis
Frank Werritt, of New York city, who,
about two weeks ago, volunteered to
surrender his body in the interest of
humanity and medical science, has
permitted a physician to inoculate his
system with the germs of the dread
disease. An examination made show
ed that the scourge has already made
considerable progress since the inocu-
lation, one week ago.
Merritt, who is of middle age, was
at one time prosperous bookbinder
in Western State. According to his
story his wife and a promising son
died victims of tuberculosis. Their
loss prayed on his mind to such an
extent that he failed in business and
became wanderer. Two weeks ago
he applied to the Salvation Army
headquarters in New York city for
lodging and was sent to the Salvation
Army Hotel in Chatham Square. 1t
was there that he announced his will
ingness to die if his death might aid
in combating the spread of consump-

Taxicabs in London.

Consul General Robert J. Wynne re-
ports that taXicabs have become such
popular street vehicles in London
that the demand for them is much
greater than the supply. He adds:
"The taxicabs are used by all classes
of people, day and night, at the uni
form rate of 16 cents a mile, and they
present most attractive appearance
in chocolate, blue, yellow, red and
green hues, with chauffeurs in the
brightest and smartest liveries.
although scarcely year has pass
ed since these swift-moving electric
and petrol carriages appeared, the
capital already invested In. London
taxicabs is $10,000,000. There are
1853 taxicabs on the streets, 2600 taxi
cabs on order, 1000 licensed drivers
an average of SIS certificates granted
each week. There are eight London
taxicab companies, their average days
takings of taxicab being S11.20. Tne
average cost of a London taxicab IS
$1703, and its average takings are
about $7S week.
Some chauffeurs already are buy
ing their own taxicabs on the install-
ment plan, and the picturesque nan
som is disappearing gradually, ike
the old-fashioned horse bus, when
practically has been crowded aside
by the motor omnibus"

MT. OLIVE.

The people that represent Mt. Olive
Sunday school wish to express in the
public print of this our beloved coun-
ty our heart felt thanks and appreci-
alton to Brother Taylor pastor of West
Falls circuit, for the interest he has
taken in our Sunday school. Rev. Tay-
lor is a man we'll up in church work,
who is ready and willing help in
time of need. If anyone feels as
though they need a friend here on
earth whom they can rely upon 1 rec
ommend our pastor. We wish him
and his good wife a prosperous year
among us, one that will be beneficial
to the circuit, and may they be the
cause of leading many precious souls
to better life.
Our church at this place is in a
f1ourishing condition. May it con-
tinue on in this same way. If we work
in harmony, living lives that in the
eye of the world will be as pure as
the driven snow, our work here on
earth will be crowned with prosperity
and success.
If we could only do or say some
thing that would be a special induce
ment for the young people to take
more interest in Sunday school work
our church would prosper and ad-
vance with more rapidity. However,
we have no room to complain. Let us
keep on working and trusting, and
all will be we'll. Sunday school Sun

FUNNY FINANCIER.
Proposes New Syndicate for Western
MARYLAND Company.

A. Parlett Lloyd discloses an i'm
portant piece of railroad news in the
following statement:
1T occurs to me that it is about
time to indorse new combination for
the purchase of the Western Maryland
Railroad. / suggest the E. 2. Foolyew
Syndicate, of New York and San Fran
cisco. This company has capital stock
of $200,000,000 (of which $S has been
paid in) and a floating surplus of Z
cents. 1t is composed of promoters,
lobbyists and heavy promisers. The
prospectus it is about to issue is at
tractive, and it cannot fail to rally to
it's support our leading citizens. 1t
has not yet decided whether to make
the Western Maryland a connecting
link and through trunk line with the
Great Northern, the Canadian Pacific,
the Louisville and Nashville, or to run
it South over the tracks of the An
napolis Short Line, connecting it by
the Isthmus of Panama with the Peru
Central and the Brazilian system
through to Patagonia.
Il understand for a paltry consider
alton of $1,500,000 the syndicate will
verbally promise to make Baltimore
the greatest clCy Oh odItu, u uSh eio
Pennsylvania Railroad, annih1late the
Baltimore and Ohio and build mag
nificent Union Station of solid gold
bricks. 1t will also promise to so re-
duce the city tax rate that instead OF
paying money to the Collector after
1909 it will pay former taxpayers In
terest on amounts hitherto paid.
How could we afford to stand back
when promises are so fairer than the
daily work of the two great railroads
we already have? Think OF t1dewater
and fortunate too it was tied, or the
old syndicate would have used it all in
it's stock; think of direct connection
say, with Bering Sea or the Straits OF
Magellan, whichever we want; think
of solid icebergs coming in over the
Western Maryland for our citizens in
summer, while New York remains IN
the clutches of the Ice Trust; think
of the ruined coal barons of Pennsyl-
vania when they wake up some f1ne
morning to find our transcontinental
North South Central-AIl-America rail-
road bringing us black diamonds from
the Rockies and the Andes at trlf1lng
expense! Who can hesitate?"

Maryland Collegiate Institute.

AS the paper went to press last
week before we could send in full
report of the commencement exercises,
we give brief report now. The eX-
ercises were well attended throughout.
There were quite number OF visitors
who boarded at the school and attend
ed every exercise. At the Stoner lit
erary contest Monday evening the sue
cessful Orator was Martin D. An
thony and the successful rector was
Miss Mary Lint. The cantata Tuesday
evening was creditably given before
a large and appreciative audience.
Glass day exercises Wednesday
morning were better attended than
ever before. The program was well
rendered and marked interest was
manifested in every part. Wednesday
afternoon the Alumni Association held
business meeting followed by ban
uuet. About sixty persons were pres
ent including the graduates of 'OS and
several teachers, also l. w. Shumake1
and VIM. NJ Main, from Florida, and
number of other members from
distance.
| Thursday morning the literary grad
yates gave their program, after Whlcr
Rev. Theo. T. Petit, of Baltimore, gave
an excellent address. Then followed
the presentation of diplomas and an
nouncements for '0S-'09 by Pres1den,
Wine, which closed the work for the
year. The majority OF the students
| left early Friday morning.
The new catalogue is now ready fol
distribution. 1t contains a number
of interesting new features and ad-
ditions. One of the most noteworthy
| is the course which leads to the degree
of bachelor of arts. With the eXcep-
ton of a few required courses, the
work is entirely elective. This ar
rangement will give the students the
privilege of specializing and yet pre-
vent narrowness in their training. Al
ready a number of students are ar
ranging to take up this work next
fall, and the prospects are very bright
for a large freshmen class.
The course in agriculture which is
now offered is also broad in its ma
ture. 1t will be of great advantage to
the young people who desire to secure
an agricultural training in reliable
co-educational institution. AS the de-
mand for this work increases addition
al equipment will be purchased which
will make the work Of this course both
scientific and practical.
Another addition in which many are
interested, is the new normal course.
which is so arranged to specially pre-
pare students for public school teach
ing. AS far as possible, this course is
made to comply with the demand in
PENNSYLVANIA and Maryland. In ad-
dition to a liberal amount Of theoreti-
;x,;- dr1o
required to spend considerable time
in actual teaching under the direct
supervision of a critic teacher.
