STATES ATTORNEY OWENS, of Baltimore city,
is strongly in favor of enforcing the present
Sunday law. In newspaper interview a few
days ago be said "The observance of Sunday
in Maryland, and particularly in Baltimore. is
more a question of religion than of hygiene.
We of Maryland don't prohibit man from
working on Sunday because it might cripple
his health, but because for generations back
Maryland has insisted upon close observance
of the sanctity of the day. People who want
the Sunday laws changed form but slight
element of the population, and this would be
proved at the outstart of any attempted legisla-
ton to bring about the change. 1t must be
remembered that Maryland is not common
wealth, but a cousinwealth, where almost
everybody is somebody else's cousin. The
people who come into the State quickly get to
know that, and although they may make some
effort to have change made in conditions as
they have existed through the generations of
this large family. they will pretty soon find
that they are up against it, Marylanders have
been used to close observance of Sunday for
ages, and they are not going to change"

WRITING ABOUT the good roads talk at An
napolis correspondent at that place says
''Mr. Carville D. Benson, of Baltimore county,
leader of the House, does not take kindly to
the Good Roads bill prepared by the Attorney
General. Mr.. Benson is strongly in favor of a
bond issue. He thinks that the only reason
which has been advanced against it is senti-
mental one-that is, now that the State is
about free from debt, it should not again be-
come a debtor. Sentiment. in Mr.. Benson's
opinion. should not be permitted to block prog
ress. He believes that the work of road inn
provement should begin on large scale, so
as to impress the people with its serious intent
and permanent character, otherwise he fears
there might be movement at the next session
to repeal the law. He also thinks that bond
issue will be in the end the cheapest and best
way to raise the money

few days ago and after his death search was
made by bis nephews and nieces for bis will.
They did not find one, but they unearthed
large sums Of money in gold. silver and paper,
stored in out-of-the-way places. The lock Of
an old rusty safe was broken and in it were
found $4,000 in cash and stocks and bonds of
the value of $4,000. Besides this the old man
had deposits in several banks and his estate is
believed to be worth more than 100000.
Holland was money lender and something

THOMAS A. EDISON, in a letter to the Chicago

in receipt of many letters regarding newspaper
articles describing cement house which am
about to erect The writers of most of the let
tiers have misread the articles, and take this
occasion to explain just what purpose to do
now have model. onefourth the size of the
house, designed by the New York architects
This winter l shall construct the iron molds
and devise machinery whereby full sized
house can be cast in twelve hours after the
molds are in position. At the end of six days
the iron mods are removed and the house
will be completed, including.stairs, partitions,
mantels, bath, ETC., and after drying six days
will probably be ready for occupancy. To
build this house for $1,000 it is essential
that it be erected on sandy soils, as the mate
al excavated for the cellar is all that is re-
quired to build the house, except, of course,
the cement. The cost of the iron molds will
be about $25, 900, the cost of the other machin-
cry about $4,000. From this outfit an I'm.
limited number of houses can be erected" As
all of Edison's inventions have turned out
well, we have every expectation this last one

More than that, it will make ire-proof
building, as such house will have no wood of
any moment. In course of time big buildings
can be built according to the size of the molds
The lumber question will be partly solved, and
hundreds of other good things may be expec
ted from cement houses We wish Edison's

Approves the Shoemaker Road Law.

EUte0LE Csty ItDle6.
The Washington Boulevard, or State Road,
formerly known as the old Washington pike,
running along the southern part of our county,
now being rebuilt by State aid, as far as finished
is a first-class road and will add thousands Of
dollars to the value of the adjoining properties
Persons who have formerly travelled this road,
from Savage to Waterloo can hardly conceive
the difference between what the road was and
what it is now, and this difference is not only
shown by its smooth stone coating, but alsoRin
the grades, which have been reduced to point
where fully one-half Of the time formerly con-
sumed in passing over the distance can be saved.
to say nothing of the further saving In wear and
tear on vehicles and teams. On the whole, the
Shoemaker road law has not been a success in
this county, because of the unwillngness of the
contractors to build the roads as per specifica-
tions and requirements of the State Highway
Commission, and the cost of the roads, but If
such roads as the State Road No. /, above refer
red to. can be built as main: highways in the
county our people will overlook the cost, as pos
terity will get more than adequate returns in
the enhanced value of our real estate, and the
comfort, saving In time and convenience of the
present generation will Offset any present in
crease in taxation In fact, when we consider
the general improvements which always follow
In the wake of good roads, the question of in
creased taxation is eliminated. as the improve
ments furnish the taxes to take care of the cost
of building the roads.
