Wife Sues Husband for Title to Land
Mrs Harriet A. Parr has filed bill in the Cir
cult Court here against her husband, Mr..
Henry A. Parr, in which she claims the valu-
able land owned by her husband at Sherwood.
Mrs. Parr states that her husband owned two
tracts of land, one comprising IL acres and the
other 200 acres. She alleges that she signed a
mortgage on the property by which she waived
her dowry rights on consideration that she
should acquire all rights in the property exclu-
sive of mortgage indebtedness. She also states
that the 12-acre lot was sold under foreclosure
of mortgage, and that there was a balance of
1854 u over the mortgage claim.
Mrs. Parr asks that the alleged agreement be
enforced and that the defendant be required to
deed to her the remaining 200 acres subject to
mortgage of $50, 900, and that Mr.. Parr be re-
strained from disposing of the property or en-
numbering it in any way. Judge Duncan
signed an order requiring Mr.. Parr to show
cause why the petition asked for by his wife
shall not be granted.
Mrs. Parr states in her bill that she was mar
ried in June, 1876 and charges that her hus-
band in November, 1907, left her and is now
residing at the Hotel Bevedere in Baltimore.
Attorneys George D. Graham and Charles g..
Baldwin appear as attorneys for Mrs. Parr.

Activity in Temperance Work.-We are
in receipt of literature on Medical Temper
ance" from the superintendent of that depart
ment of work in the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union of Baltimore county, Mrs. Mary
II. German, of Mt. Washington, wife of Rev.
Solomon German, pastor of the M. r. Church
ofthat place. To give the readers ofyour valua-
BILE paper some idea of the vast amount of work
done by this organization we mention few
items only of this one of more than forty de-
partments of work carried on by the white
ribbon army.
During the past year medical temperance
literature was sent to II, 456 physicians in the
United States. The banner of the department
was offered to the State reaching the largest
number of physicians with literature, and was
won by Georgia, which printed pamphlet
specially prepared for that State, and sent it to
1904 physicians. Maryland stood second in
this great work, having sent copies of the leaf
lets, English Physicians Oppose Alcohol as
Medicine" and Scientific Objections to Alco-
hol as Medicine" with printed letter, to ], 81
physicians. Minnesota made a good third
These three states sent literature on medical
temperance, not only to physicians, but to
many other persons as we'll. The secret of the
large work done by these three states lies in the
fact that special financial provision was made
for a campaign of education against the medi-
cal use of alcohol. is with not little pride
that we can state that the prize offered for the
best county work was won by Miss Grace Bond,
of Baltimore county.
The poster, "Consumptives. Beware of Alco-
hol,'' was made part of the anti-tuberculosis
exhibit of New York by the State Commission
of Health fifty copies were placed in different
parts of Washington during the Anti-Tubercu-
losis Congress, and an enlarged copy was on
exhibition in the congress.
They not only send out literature. but their
lecturers have been busy Miss Elizabeth Cor
don uses her distilling apparatus in her lectures
on patent medicines and demonstrates unmis-
takably the presence of alcohol in these prepa-
rations. DIR. Carolyn Geisel, Miss Margaret j.
Biz and others in their lectures and demon
STATIONS have awakened many to the danger
of drug and alcohol taking in sickness and have
won converts to right living.
West Virginia State Medical Society has pass
ed resolutions ito discourage the use of alco-
hol both in and out of the sick ROOM" The
National Association of Retail Druggists and
the American Pharmaceutical Association pass
ed resolutions upholding the State prohibition
law, and denouncing whisky drug stores Thus
respectable druggists are aiding the temperance
cause.
One of the most encouraging events of the
year in medical temperance work was an edi
toria in the Journal of the American Medical
Association, in which physicians were urged
to take part in the temperance cause as pub
lie health movement.

Going Through the Conduit.-A success
full and comfortable inspection trip through
the seven mile tunnel from Loeb Raven to
Lake Monticello was made last Saturday by
Advisory Engineers Stearns and Freeman,
Water Engineer Quick Assistant Water Engi-
neer Robert L. Clemmett, Superintendent Will
liam Benthal, of the Water Boards county di-
vision, and Engineer Emory Sudler. They
went through in an iron boat equipped with a
revolving acetylene searchlight, two lanterns
and two electric flashlights.
Although constructed in 1877, the tunnel was
found to be in splendid condition and the visit
ing engineers were much pleased with it. A
better lining was found than is shown on the
only plan in the Office of the Water Board.
There was little, if any, sediment, the stones
minimum capacity of 170,000,000 gallons of
water a day. Tests were made this week to
ascertain it's full capacity. The tunnel has a
fall of one foot to mile. The gates at Loeb
Raven and Monticello were shut while the in
specting party was in the tunnel.
ut was altogether a novel experience" said
Mr., Quick. II do not think that there was
ever any serious danger. AT first it was neces-
sary for our Charon to do good deal of ferry
manipulating, but after a while good current
carried us through at a fair rate of speed.
1.-THE bronze plates at each half mile, which
mark the Is shafts, aided us in timing our
selves on the trip. The original construction
of the tunnel was well done. 1t is still in splen-
did shape.
"There was less dripping of water from the
tunnel roof than anticipated. There were no
incidents, except the fact that we had lunch
while passing through. The time of passage
was three hours and quarter"
