Court Says In the Eyes of the Law
"Corporations'' Are RESPONSIBILITIES
Duffy, sitting in part of Baltimore City Court
in the case of the Baltimore and Fredericktown
Turnpike Company against the Joseph 7. Stein
acker Lumber Company decided point which
is of interest to persons and corporations
living along the various turnpikes in
MARYLAND. The Steinacker company is cor
poration and has its principal office on the
Frederick turnpike, near Irvington. Its horses
and vehicles pass through the gates OF the turn
nike several times during the day in the course
Of its business. Theturnpike company charged
the lumber company for toll every time one OF
its teams passed through the gates. When the
lumber company received the bill it disputed
the amount and refused TO pay more than one
toll for each "a hours, claiming the exemption
given in the charter of the company. The
turnpike company contended that the section
in the act only applied to individuals and not
to corporations and asked for judgment for
the full amount claimed.
The court held that corporations are persons
within the meaning of the Act OF 1904 and the
turnpike company may only exact one toll in
every "a hours from persons living on or ada
cent to the turnpike road.
The turnpike company was represented by
Mr.. Thomas Mackenzie and Mr.. Carville ID.
Benson appeared for the lumber company.

Red Cross Stamps in Demand.-Of the
100000 Red Cross Christmas stamps con-
signed to the Maryland Association for the
Prevention and Relief of tuberculosis, more
than 600, 600 have now been disposed of and it
is confidently expected that the Christmas en-
| thusiasm next week will call out the re-
mainder. The demand for the little stickers
| for use on holiday correspondence and Christ
mas parcels is more widespread than last year,
| when 125 stations throughout Maryland had
| them for sale. They are now on sale at 200
| stations. Nearly every county has its group
| of people interested in their sale and use. The
| stamps which are of pretty design, sell for
| cent apiece. If there is not q station con-
venient to any citizen in Maryland. request
| to the Maryland tuberculosis Association, 10l
| West Saratoga street, Baltimore, will bring by
return mail any number of the stamps
| asked for.
Christmas Week Vaudeville. .--For Christ
| mas week at the Maryland Manager Herman
has arranged a big holiday bill. Among the
notabes will be Tom Edwards, the English
ventriloquist who includes eating, drinking
and smoking while keeping up constant
conversation among his accomplishments !;
Grgoletta's Aerial Ballet direct from the New
York Hippodrome, in which Is beautiful girls
are seen floating in midair in dainty poses
with beautiful electrical effects; Maybelle
| Adams, "the Gypsy violinist;" the six
American Dancers who wear stunning cos
| tunes and execute their dances amid novel
lighting and stage effects Zeno, Jordan and
Zeno, European casting experts; Clifford and
/ Burke whose conversational comicalities are
verv laughable and Christy and Willis, the
funny iuggle and eccentric dancer.
Concerning Christmas Trees.-Thus far
but few wagonloads of Christmas trees
have passed down the York pike on the way
to Baltimore, but next week will probably
witness scores of them on their way to the city.
The Christmas tree industry is a source of con-
siderable profit to farmers and others who are
employed in the country al this season, as they
have plenty of leisure time on their hands.
1t takes possibly 10 years to grow a cedar or
pine suitable for a tree to be used for decora-
tive purposes, and in half an hour two men
with sharp axes can create havoc in field of
pine and cedar which it will take years to re-
place. The posting of properties within the
past year or so will no doubt cause those who
have formerly secured their trees to look else
where for their greenery at this festive season.

Miscellaneous Shower

One of the most unique enter
tanments of the season was the
miscellaneous shower given on
Friday evening to Miss Nan Bar
wick at the home of Mrs. O. F.
Lawrence. The nearness of Christ
mas gave the suggestion of the
Yuletide decorations end the
idea was carried out throughout
the house, the color scheme being
red and green. The presents were
placed on a true Christmas tree
and SO that the guests might not
feel left out each received a large
fire cracker tied with a Christmas
tag on which was written the
brides name and the date of the
wedding. Just as the bride en-
tered the lights were extenguish-
ed and she came into the warm
glow of only the fire and candle
light. The best cooks were allow
ed to try their skill on the chafng
dishes and the viands prepared
were declared delightful, though
only very strong digestions could
have stood the WEIGH rabbit and
Holsters at such late hours. The
presents were beautiful aud the
bride to be a thoroughly charm
ed over a shower which Included
not only the best of her girl
friends, bat the men as well.

Snapshots From Sunda.
Sermons ut All Saints
Church..

Temptation is not a sin. yielding
to temptation is. God had one son
without sin, but never one without
temptation.
Do not think temptation will ever
cease. You will have to fight as
long as you live, The devil has had
5000 years experience with human
ity and knows just where to tempt
you. Watch him.
Don't say MY surroundings are SC
trying, | am tempted differently from
Others" you are not. And then too
you are promised that no temptation
shall overtake you without power &c
resist. If you will. that's the point,
if you will say Il will by Gods help
settle that now"
Don't blame God. Let me ask you
a fair question, did you eve yield to
a temptation but what you could
look back and say, now l need not to
have done that thing, Did you?
Don't get discouraged by thinking
that you bave committed the unpar-
donable sin, and give up. II you
had, you would not be troubled about
it. AS long as you are struggling you
are not dead.
Die fighting. If you must die be-
fore you have routed the enemy, die
fighting. God will take care OF
you.
Every act of self sacrifice, whether
it be the heroism that gives a life for
another, or the little sacrifices that
every day courtesy and politeness de-
mand gathers glory from the halo
that surrounds the cross Of Jesus
Christ.

That things are not always what their name in

last week in the heading of the sermon to Empty
Pews' delivered by Rev. N. w. P. Bacon a few
Sundays ago at his church. Ye Editor was away

prepared the headlines for a letter. We hope no
one was deferred from reading this sermon by the
headlines. Those who did read it soon discovered
that we had m,snamed it. If any one failed to read

Black burn also had been a member Of the Isthmian canal commission. He was conspicuous in the movement for the free coinage of silver.
 The report that eX-Senator Black burn had rendered his resignation as canal commissioner recalls the fact that there is a possibility that all seven commissioners now constituting the governing body at Panama may be legislated out of office the coming winter, if the Mann bill now before congress is enacted into law. That measure contains many provisions or importance to the canal zone, but it's essential feature is the abolition of the present commission and the plac- ing of the construction of the great waterway in the hands of q chief en- gineer and a director and the respon- sibility for the management of the canal zone in the hands of a governor.
 In it's general features the proposi- tion has the approval of Secretary of War Dickinson, and had it not been for the overshadowing importance of the tariff legislation at the special ses- sion of congress the bill probably would have been enacted into law al ready.
