CHASING A FORTUNE.
Westminster Man Said to Have Gone
OnlA FruitIess Journey.

J. Hoffman Fuss, of this city, and
Jesse Dotterer, of York, who were
delegated to go to Germany to lay
claim to the Baron Won Sitter fortune
for the heirs, sailed from New York
city on the Red Star liner 'Lapland,"
Saturday, for Antwerp. From Ant
werp they will proceed to Bavaria,
Germany, to the residence of the
baron, several centuries old. Here
Messrs. Dotterer and Fuss will employ
counsel and present their claims for
the fortune of $183,0O0,000.
Speaking of the trip the Hanover
Record says
who is one of the expectant heirs to
the fortune, declares his firm belief
that the story of Sitler's millions is a
pure myth. This business man has
been for long time in correspond
ence with American consuls in Bava-
ria, Germany, as we'll as with German
officials, and all have assured him
that the story Of the fortune is a
mere tradition. The story of the Sit
ler fortune in brief is that one Baron
Won Sitter died in Germany in 1745
and left a large estate in trust with
the government for 100 years. The
location of the ESTATE" is not def
nitely known; by some it is located
in Alsace-Lorraine; by others in the
vicinity of Munich, Bavaria. Inves-
legations about the reported fortune
have been in progress for the past 80
OF 40 years, and it has not even been
established for certainty that such
a parsonage as Baron Won Sitter ever
lived in Bavaria or elsewhere.

MARYLAND Agricultural College.

In another column will be found
the advertisement of this well-known
state institution. The work done by
the Maryland Agricultural College is
so we'll understood and so highly ap-
preciated by the farmers of the state
that it is hardly necessary to say any
word of commentator. It not only
fits our young men for agricultural
pursuits, but it aids the farmer by
it's Investigations into all the various
problems of farm work, and gives the
results of these Investigations in bull
letins at short intervals. 1t provides
lecturers, who visit every section Of
the state and discuss topics of inter
est to the farmer. Last year was a
most prosperous one for the college.
The enrolment was large, and satis-
factory work was done in all
branches This is one of Maryland's
greatest institutions, and merits
hearty support.

On Saturday last the third game of
the series Of base ball to be played
between Westminster and Mount Airy
was pulled off on the College ground
before a good-sized audience, and was
won by the Mount Airy Club by a
score of IL to 6.
The game was the worst put up this
season by the home club. The visit

hits. Doherty was touched up for 8,
but was effective with men on bases
Umpire Brown gave the home club
some of the worst decisions ever dealt
out to any team. Ashmore will be

After the soldiers had stationed
wait before the Governor and his
staff, accompanied by the brigade, Of
ficers, rode to the center of the field
and the review was on. General
Riggs and staff rode down the lines
but Governor Crothers and Col EweI,
remained at the reviewing post. The
Governor is not an expert horseman,
and he had probably determined to
do no more riding than was absolute
ly necessary. He appeared at per-
feet ease, however. and as the horse
furnished him is an old campaigner,
1t gave him no trouble.
The troops marched past In the
order named above, preceded by the
bands of their respective regiments.
1t was very pretty sight, and those
who came miles to see 1t were well
repaid The Governor wore his US
ual civilian garb, topped by straw
hat His personal staff wore blue
uniforms, and the brigade officers
were garbed in the field dress of
khaki
After the brigade marched off the
field on the way back to camp and
the throng of spectators started to
leave the vantage points on the
slopes, the Governor and his staff
turned their horses heads back to-
ward camp, leading a sloW-moving
line Of carriages and automobiles.
AS soon as he arrived at his quarters
and the regiments had been dismissed
he received all the officers Of the
camp, congratulating them on the
splendid appearance of the troops.
Governor Crothers arrived at the
camp shortly after dusk Tuesday
evening in the automobile of Surgeon
General McConachie. He spent the
night on the grounds in the quarters
provided for him. Wednesday morn
ing the Governor held a continuous
reception, while the troops in the
neighboring fields we're executing the
drill of pitching and striking shelter
tents and going through the formation
for advance and rear guard. Nearly
everybody in Westminster, many
from Baltimore and big crowd from
all parts of the county visited the
camp early, and many of these passed
the sentries in front of the Governors s
tent to shake hands with and welcome
him.
Before leaving the Governor in
spected the camp, driving around in
General McConachie's machine with
Colonel Joyce and Colonel Leviness.
He visited the camps of all the organ
izations, and was received and shown
around by the commanding officers.
He later said he was impressed with
the entire arrangement.
"The camp is certainly impressive, -
he said Every precaution of sani-
tation and safety has been taken, and
the men certainly do carry their work

work in a soldierly way. am very

GOVERNORS DAY.
Greatest and Most Pleasing Event in
the History of Westminster.

The scene of Wednesday afternoon
was enough in itself to repay the
citizens of this community for having
the encampment of the Maryland Ma
tional Guard located in Westminster.
The Baltimore papers estimate that
$4,000 persons witnessed the review
by the Governor, and there were at
least 1900 vehicles of different kinds
on the grounds and in the near by
territory. A greater throng of peo-
pie never before gathered in this sec
ton.
The roads leading to camp were
.packed with vehicles of every descrip-
ton, while thousands of men, women
and children walked out from West
minister. Just before the review it be-
came necessary for General Riggs to
send a detachment from, Troop A
out to the lane leading directly into
camp, so that carriages might be
turned into the Washington road. An
hour before the review started the
slopes of the hill at the eastern end
of the field were lined with carriages
and automobiles, while men, women
and children sat in the grass. The
review was held on the level meadow
at the base of the hill fronting on
the Washington road, nearly opposite
the residence of Guy w. Steele.
Spectators began to arrive from all
parts of the county early in the morn
ing, lining the roads and waiting pa
tiently for the ceremony to start. In
front of the Governors quarters on
the beautiful knoll overlooking the
camp many carriages and automobiles
STOOD but when the time for the re-
view arrived a detachment from
Troop A, the Maryland cavalry outfit,
notified everybody there that the cere-
mony would be held at the other
place. A long line of moving We
hicles, overhung by cloud of dust,
instantly got under way, racing for
the most advantageous positions, and
in short time the hill was lined with
row upon row of carriages, making
a scene beautiful to behold.
The troops, with General Riggs in
command, lined up on the field in the
following order, from left to right.
First Infantry, Col. Charles T. Little;
Fourth Infantry, Col. Charles F.Mack-
lin; Fifth Infantry, Col. Baker Clot-
