State Tax Rate Unchanged.

The State tax rate is to remain at 16
cents for the next two years. The bill
fixing the amount was intro duced in the
Senate Tuesday by Senator German.
The bill is divided as follows: For
1899, IA cents for schools, 2 cents for in
forest and sinking fund for good roads
loan; for 1910, 124 cents for schools, 81
cents for road fund. At present the
State is levying 16 cents, all of which
goes to the school fund, the State gov
eminent being maintained by taxes col
lected by ether means.
For the year 1909 s75, 900 will be tax
en- from other State revenue and added
to the school fund which, with the
amount already collected, will provide
the difference between the IA cents to
be collected for schools next year. For
the same purpose in 1910 100000 will
be taken from the other State revenues
for schools to make up the difference
between 12f and 16 cents.

Greatest Of Historic al Dramas returns
for Farewell Engagement.
If you are lover of good plays, do
not fail to see "The Clansman," which
will return for it's farewell engagement
at the Columbia Theatre, Washington,
D. c, the week bebinning Monday,
April 9th, with Thursday and Saturday
matinees.
OF all the many offerings at this thea
ire this is undoubtedl y the greatest and
grandest of the whole season. Crowd
ed audiences and enormous enthusiasm
have N marked the progress of 'The
Clansman" everywhere.
1.-The Clansman" sets in fierce white
light the exact truth about the doings
Of the Ku KIux Khan and the Recon-
struction struggle of forty years ago.
It opened the eyes of both the North
and the South 1t showed that what
he Southern people really did was to
save white civilization from barbarism
and anarchy; that the South would
have been weltering in negro mon
grelism but for the heroic work of the
ku Klux Khan.
Aside from its political features THE
Clasman" is a most beautiful drama.
The ladies enjoy it as much as, or even
more than, the men, because of its
engrossing love story. The hero of the
pay is South Carolinan and Ku
Klux Khan leader. He falls in love with
he pretty daughter of Northern man
who has come south to organize the So
called Black League. Ben Cameron
courts the daughter and firmly opposes
every move of the father. In the end
be wins the girls hand and saves them
both from the clutches of the Mulatte
Lietenalt Governor of the State. Under
Ben's leadership the Ku Klux drive the
carpetbaggers and bad negroes out of
the State and restore the old regime.
Thrills, tears and laughter are
wonderfully commingled in this masser
play. The darkey comedy is rich and
| the loves of Uncle Nelse and Aunt Eve,
as well as thieving propensities and
gullibility Of Aleck, the negro high
sheriff of the county, convulse the
audience.
4 word should be said about the ap.
pearance of the Ku Klux Khan in this
| plav. Every detail is historically &C.
| curate: the ghostly costumes, weird
ritual and white-robed steeds of the
order are reproduced exactly as they
were in the year 1867. The Ku Klu1
Khan calvalry dash across the stage
with startling realism. The High
Court of the Khan sentences to death 6
| self-confessed criminal.
Those who attend the Columbis
Theatre will see the original company
of forty people direct from New Yorh
City, and splendid new production
with magnificent scenery, costumes anG
electrical objects.
Patrons are advised to send in theil
orders for seats, accompanied by re
mittance, to Manager Joseph E
Luckett, Columbia Theatre. Washing
ton, D. c., and tickets of the kind
specified will be promptly forwarded.
The prices Of seats range from 81
cents to s 80 for evening performances
and are SOC, 75c and $l.00 at the matt
nees.

Club for Biddison Bill.

The Evansville Farmers Club, of this
county, was entertained at the Maryland
Agricultural College on. March Is. MIR.
Jonn W. Williams, of Laurel, was
elected president and DR.. Joseph r.
Owens secretary of the club for the en-
suing year.
The retiring president, Mr.. Charles
II. Stanley, one of the trustees of the
college, outlined the many improve
ments that had been made at the college
since 1902 Prof. Harry Gwinner talk
ed about the work in the mechanical de-
partment and stated that men who had
been graduated from this departm
had had no trouble in securing lucra-
tive employment. Pref. W. T. ITALIA
ferro spoke upon the work of the agri-
cultural department. A committee,
composed of Messrs. John Snowden,
John w. Williams and Joseph A. Blum
don, was appointed to urge the appro-
priations asked for by the college trus-
tees. Twenty thousand dollars is want
ed for maintenance, an increase OF
$1,000; $4,000 is wanted for the new
mechanical department., the present
quarters being entirely inadequate; 81
900 is asked with which to macadamze
the road leading from the railway sta
tions to the college, and $4,000 is re-
quested for work at the experiment sta
tion, the latter appropriation having
been provided for the last several
years.
A general discussion occurred relative
to the State road agitation, and the club
went on record as favoring the princl
pies of the Biddison bill, especially the
feature which continues the work under
the supervision of the State highway
division of the Maryland Geological
Survey. The members were positive in
their opposition to paid commission.
The work already done under Chief
Engineer W. W. Crosby was highly
commended.

THE OBJECT of this Bill is to pro-
cure a decree for sale of certain real
estate of Caroline N. Baden, deceased,
situated in Brandywine district, Prince
Georges County, Maryland. The bill
in substance states that the said Caro-
line M. Baden died seized and possessed
Of certain valuable real estate, leaving
surviving her the heirs st law set forth
in said Bill. That Caroline M. Baden
during her lifetime made and executed
a certain mortgage on certain portion
of her said real estate and that said
mortgage was duly assigned to a Ger
tain Elizabeth n. Goldsborugh.
The said real estate is incapable Of
partition and division among the said
heirs at law without loss and injury,
and that it would be greatly to the ad.
vantage and benefit of all the heirs, and
especially the infants that the same
should be sold and that the mortgage
lien of the said Elizabeth N. Colds
borough, be paid aid satisfied, and the
net proceeds of such sale or sales be
divided among the parties as they are
entitled. That by petition filed in
this cause and the order OF Court passed
thereon, the said Bill Of Complaint is
amended to say to make William L..
Goldsborough, executor Of said Eliza
beth N Goldsborough, now deceased, a
party defendant to this cause, and that
said William I. Goldsborough is non
resident of the State of Maryland.
1t is thereupon this 25th day Of March,
1898, adjudged, ordered and decreed

Danger in Dogs at Large.

DR.. Samuel G. Chew, professor OF
medicine in the University of Maryland
believes that in the interest of public
safety every dog allowed in the streets
, should be muzzled and secured with a
lash and that those not so secured
should be put to death. DR.. Chew
said:
1.-TWO cases of death from hydro
phobia in this city have recently been
reported in "The Sun" and several
other cases of bites by dogs suspected
to be rabid in which the subjects,
though under the Pasteur treatment,
are vet in danger of the development
of that dire disease.
"The apparent apathy on this subject
that exists in the community is remark
able. If several cases of smallpox are
reported as occurring here an alarm is
excited and many persons hasten to be
vaccinated in the fear apparently that
thev NAV come in contact with small
pox case, which, in vast proportion OF
cases is extr emely improbable. But
rabid dog at large is menace. of dan
ger far greater than that which small
pex causes. For the animal very literal
ly dogs a whole community at every
step. And although it is true that in
many cases of bites by mad dogs the
P asteur treatment, if instituted immedi-
ately, averts the disease. yet when once
d eveloped no remedy for it exists; it is
invariably fatal and death comes in
what seems it's most in what seems its
most form.
Anyone who has witnessed, as the
writer has, death from hydrophobia
must be convinced that it were better
that the VIII ole race of dogs should be
exterminated than that single human
being should endure such suffering and
should perish in so horrible manner.
"And yet security against such
danger could easily be effected. If a
law were passed that every dog allow
ed in the streets should be muZzled and
secu red with leash held by its owner
and that every dog in the case which
this law is not complied with should be
put death, the whole community would
be relieved of an ever-present danger.
"In a la rye proportion of cases of
hydrophobia children are it's victims
from their helplessness Let all parents
cons ider this subject and picture to
themselves what their feelings would
be if one of their own children should
perish from this orrible malady."

tificates sold on Monday for forty lone
Gates are deposited with Brown Bros
under contract binding the holders
to pay commission of five per cent.
on the par OF the certificates. Therefore
quotation at forty-one per cent really
means selling price of forty-sx per
cent.
AS Virginia issued eighteen million S
of certificates, this means that those
managing this suit are calculatir & on
realizing net less than eight million
two hundred and eighty thousand dol
lars. Another singular fact in this con-
nection is that about month since,
when the supreme court heard the case
on motion to instruct the master as
to how the account should be stated.
Mr.. Spoener, one ef the counsel for
West Virginia asseated that our pro-
PORTION of the expenses OF the state
government should be determined by
the relative population of the two sec
tons, ascertained by adding three
fifths of the slaves to the whites. no
tice that MIR. Mason, who seems to
have given thoughtful attention to the
matter, figures that this will charge
us with more than fifteen and one-half
per centua of such expenses between
1922 and 1882, although during that
decade we had less than ten per CEN
tum of the taxable property. If this be
true it presents startling condition
ton and confronts our people with
what they may expect if the present
cenditsens continue.
Ever since the Campbell commits
sion WAS defeated, and this suit as
sumed its ugly attitude, | have felt
that it was the most important matter
with which our people have been con-
frented since the civil war, and ii is
clear to me that, unless an aroused
public sentiment compels some such
action as Campbell proposed, we will
in the near future, be confronted with
an appalling situation. l can only add
that those who are foremost in rous-
ing the people to the existing
situation will not only perform
a patriotic and civic duty, which
Will place the people Of this state I'M
der the greatest obligations to them,
and for enc believe the peoplewithout
regard to party, will appreciate such a
service.
I might add also that during the
lsAg years of Democratic ascendency
in this state, NO serious efforts were
made by the promoters of this debt
scheme to enforce an inequitabls claim
asa II was emily with the first session
Of our legislature after the Republican,
succeeded to power that an intiuential
Republican lobby was found at the
