To Serve Tea and Coffee On Trains

The Pennsylvania Railroad has
decided to distribute tea or coffee,
or both, free to Pullman passengers
on all trains to which there is at
tached a dining car. The Pullman
people have been notified that here
after the porters of the Pullman
cars will be required to go to the
dining car, at the request of any
passenger at any time, and bring
therefrom coffee or tea, which he
will deliver to the passenger abso-
lutely free, the railroad company
furnishing the tea or coffee. 1t has
been found that tea or coffee is a
good preventive or cure for head
aches so prevalent among travellers.
The drinks are to be served at any
time during the day, even though
meals are not being served at this
time in the car, and the privilege
will cease only when the car closes
for the night.

that every one should employ when they
undertake to cure cough in few min

cotics. They may stop the cough and
cause sleep quickly, but they also dry UP
the secretions and constipate, leaving oft

Proposed New Game Law.

The Game and Fish Commission
appointed by Governor Crothers
to frame uniform laws, propose to
submit bill which provides that
no person shall hunt, pursue or
kill any game unless he first pro-
cure from the Clerk of the Court a
license at cost of $5 annually.
These licenses are nontransferable,
and every precaution is provided
against their use by unauthorized
persons.
The bill makes it necessary for
every hunter to carry his license
with him while hunting. Owners
of farm land may shoot on their
own land without a license, but
this is the only exception. Vio-
lations of the provisions of the law
are punishable by fine of from Sc
to $25, or Imprisonment for moi
more than ten days.
1t is also unlawful to hunt par.
tridges, rabbits or pheasants while
there is snow on the ground, and to
shoot game on Sunday or election
day. 1t provides that it shall be
unlawful for one person to xii
more than IL wood cock, or more
than s rabbits. A penalty of 81
for each bird or animal killed above
the limit is prescribed.

Report. OF Bureau OF Statistics.

We have received from Charles
J. Fox, chief of bureau, the seven
teenth annual report of the Bureau
of Statistics and Information of
Maryland, for the year 1908. The
report contains great deal of in
formation which is of value not
only to the citizens of our State,
but also to those of other States
who contemplate settling in Mary
land. Considerable space has been
given to an industrial history and
description of Baltimore city, the
State of Maryland, as whole, and
each of the counties separately. II
is the fifth report during the term
of Office of Mr.. Fox.

Again President Taft has expressed TO
Col, Goethals his earnest desire to see the
Panama canal completed by 1913. and
while the Chief Engineer cannot promise
this accomplishment before 1915. he told
the President that every force would be
put 10 work to hustle things. Some of
the Presidents friends think that this de-
sire to see the canal completed in January
1913 means that Judge Taft expects to
serve his country as President only four
years.

A New Alignment.


The vote in congress on the adoption Of
the rules indicates a new alignment.
Twenty eight republicans voted with IA
democrats for such revision of the rules
as would lessen the power of the speaker
and increase the power of the members;
twenty.three democrats voted with 1888
republicans to prevent any material re-
vision in the rules. 1t would be well for
the democratic constituents of the boiling
democrats to keep their eyes upon their
members and learn just what reason led
them to join the republicans on so in,-
portant question. 1t is known that Mr..
Cannon is the represe NATIVE of the stand
patters; he is in close sympathy with the
corporate elements which have been con-
trolling the country through the repub-
licau party; he can be depended upon to
use whatever power he has to thwart any
remedial legislation and to prevent any
interference with the exploitation of the
country by the monopolists. The demo
Gratis who voted with him were in posi-
ton TO know these facts, and it will be
difficult for them to explain to their con-
stituents why they deserted their demo-
cratic brethren aud aided the republicans
The speaker has already taken care of
some of them and it remains to be seen
whether be will take care of the rest. 1t
is hard to believe that any democratic
member of congress could be influenced
upon a public question by committee
appointment, and yet that would be less
Of q reflection upon hin, than TO say that
he is in sympathy with the Cannon pro-
gram and with the reactionary policies.
We are in the midst Of great 6ght-a
fight of tremendous importance to the
country. The republican party has won
a national victory by Misrepresentation
and false pretense. In the middle west
President Roose velt's endorsement of Mr..
Taft was accepted by the republicans as
former. No one ought to have been de-
ceived because both Mr.. Taft's record
and his environment raised presumption
against him. but with an overwhelming
preponderance of newspapers on their
side, they convinced the people that Mr..
Taft's election would mean reform. The
personnel of the new cabinet ought to
convince any fair minded man that the
president has gone into partnership with
the Wall Street interests. If any doubt
was left that ought to have been removed
by the action of the president in en-
dorsing the Cannon program. The Sin
surgents" looked for some encouragement
from the White House, but they looked
in vain, and Congressman Norris of
Nebraska voiced the disappointment of
the republican congressman who are OPP
posing thereactionary crowd which is in
control of the neutrality-suspicious..
Minority Leader Clark is making a.
manly fight, and he has five.sixths of the
democrats with him. Strength to his
arm The democrats ought to be united
in their struggle against the Cannon pro-
gram and it is to be hoped that the FIVE
sixths will continue their battle, notwith-
standing the desertion of the few demo.
Gratis who are now enjoying the con
gratulatious of the speaker.-The Com
moner.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.
Criminal Carelessness on the Part NJ
street Workmen-Slow Speed Saw.
ed Passengers.

On Saturnay night Mr.. and Mrs.
Sidney w. Stubbs. their two children
and Rev. Mr.. Phillip Murray, of Bish-
opville. and Mr.. c. e. Stubbs started
out In Mr.. Sidney Stubbs' automobil.,
Tor Joy ride around the town. Be-
fore they had gone but a short dis
lance the machine ran into a sewer
age ditch on Washington street op-
posite DR.. Wilson's new office. For
tunately Mr.. Stubs was driving at q
slow speed. for If he had been speed-
ing very probably the accident would
nave proved fatal to the passengers
rhe accident was due to the fact that
there had been no lamps placed at
the ditch to warn travellers. The front
wheel passed over the smaller mart
or the ditch, but in turning the ma
chine during the excitement the hind
wheel ran into the larger part OF the
ditch causing the machine to stop in
stantly.
All of the passengers, except
Messrs. s. w. and C. E. Stubbs, were
thrown from the car; Mrs. Stubbs be-
ing thrown clear over the hood Of the
car. Mr.. c. e. Stubs was much
shaken up by being thrown against
the front seat. The Rev. Mr.. Murray
who was thrown from the car did not
fall into the ditch. but in his scramb-
ling efforts to get on his feet he final
ly did fall into it. Fortunately no
one was seriously hurt in the acci-
dent. though some were severely
shaken up and bruised.
Who Is to blame for this accident
some OF the city authorities, of
course. 1t was criminal carelessness
on the part Of those who have the
work In charge to leave the ditch
without some kind of light, and it Is
hoped that some steps will be taken
tn investigate this act Of careiessness
and to make the streets safe for au-
tomobilists and cyclists In the fu-
ture.
This act Of carelessness should be
punished with heavy fine, II not
some severer punishment, for the
simple reason that, though no serious
casualties occurred this time, it was
quite possible for every passenger in
the car to have lost his life. It Is
time for the authorities to wake up.

An old custom once prevailed In q

In certain hope. some hitch was sure
to be found somewhere and for all
their asseverations the clock remained
stationary on the shelf. no one being

In Canton 100000 people spend their
whole existence In boats, which are
there called sampans. They are born
In them, Live In them from infancy to
old age and finally die tn them. Col.
lectively these boats form a floating
suburb to the city proper. one Of the
most amazing human settlements in
the world. Every creek Is crammed
with them. Along the main banks of
the river they are huddled twenty deep
so close together that the covering
OF mats appears continuous as far as
the eye can reach And each sampan
houses separate family, with its own
big brazier lamp. which serves for
heating, lighting and cooking the even
