Burglar Disturbed at Work Makes
Hasty Exit via Window.

Friday evening Mrs. william T
Scare placed a book under the bed
room window at the residence 22I
Iowa avenue IN order TO insure ventil-
alton. Apparently this action In the
interest OF ventilation was observed by
the prowling burglar because just prior
TO Mrs. Scare returning to the room an
individual left hastily via the window
route, having first taken the precaution
to move the screen. The Involuntary
hostess was amazed 10 see the room in
great disorder when she entered and
promptly called W. T. Scare who had
retired and was blissfully dreaming
OF record sales In z. c. NJ. I. clothing
department over which he presides.
Together they Investigated and found
nothing missing as the burglar had
undoubtedly become alarmed and bolt
ed. The police were notified and the
thief Is still at large.

Deafness canno, Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored TO its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Another Falsehood Nailed.

The MESSENGER had some
thing TO say last week regard
ing the unreliability of the re-
ports appearing in the Balti-
more papers regarding the do
ings at Annapolis, and the
manner of misrepresenting the
party leaders. The latest story
is that Senator John Walter
Smith and Hon. A. p. German
have formed a combination, by
which Mr.. German is to be
nominated for Governor, Con-
gressman Talbot is to be
shelved, and Senator Rayner is
also to get it in the neck. The
apparent purpose of such stuff
is to create discord among the
leaders of the Democratic party.
In to-day's MESSENGER will be
found a denial by Senator Smith
which has placed a quietus on
the combination report. Sena-
tor Smith is a man who has the
respect and confidence of the
people of Maryland, and when
he comes out fatfooted and
says that such a report is
a pure fabrication, the people
believe what he says. Once
more we say to the people "do
not believe what you read in
the Baltimore papers until you
have proved the story your
self"

7. ]. c. Williams for Judge.

The uncertainty concerning the judg-
ship Of the Juvenile Court. Baltimore,
since the announcement by Judge Jacob
NJ. Moses that he would resign will prob
ably be ended soon by the appoint
ment of T. ]. c. Williams. a member
Of the Maryland bar and newspaper
writer. Governor Crothers is said to
have offered the position to Mr.. Will
liams.
Mr.. Williams formerly practiced law
in Hagerstown with the late Gov. w.
7. Hamilton. Later he edited the Ha-
gerstown Mail. Fifteen years ago he
went to Baltimore. and has been con-
stantly there in newspaper work since.
He was offered the judgeship Of the Juve-
nile Court some years ago bNGov. John
Walter Smith, but declined the position.
Mr.. Williams is a brother Of Henry Will
liams Of Baltimore and Of former Judge
Ferdinand Williams Of Cumberland

PERFECTLY RIDICULOUS.

One of the most ridiculous
things coming from the daily
press is the reflection on Gov
ernor Crothers regarding the
appointments he will soon have
to make. The papers intimate
that he will not appoint men
because, ,forsooth, some political
leader in the county in which
such men reside does not favor
the plans of the Governor. If
Governor Crothers were to re-
fuse the reappointment of men
because their friends were not
in accord with some of his plans
it would demonstrate at once
that he was too small a man to
be Governor of such a great
commonwealth as Maryland
We are well acquainted with
Governor Crothers. and we
know he is not going to do any
thing SO foolish. He will go
right ahead and reappoint such
of his official household as have
done their duty regardless of
what some other man has done
or he expects will do. He will
also take the recommendation
of his party friends who do not
think as he does about party
expediencies just the same as if
they were in full accord with
him. If he does not he is not
fit to be Governor. But he will.
He is every inch a man, and a
good big man at that. At pres
ent the Governor is on very
friendly terms with the news
papers of Baltimore. All ex-
cept the News are patting him
on the back and saying, "good
boy, sick 'em - At the same
time the Governor, no doubt,
wishes they were not quite so
ardent and would stop creating
situations for him that make
him appear to be just what he
is not-at war with the party
leaders.
Since writing the above Gov
ernor Crothers has made a num-
ber of his most important ap-
pointments and he has done
exactly as we predicted.

A Parceis-Posi System.

The unanswerable fact which
Postmaster General Hitchcock
is pleased to overlook when he
complains that the Government
loses enormously on the car
riage of second-class mail is
that the German postal service
transports all sorts of parcels
up to a l0O-pound trunk for one
third of IA cent a pound, that
Canada has reduced its rate on
periodical mail to one-quarter
Of a cent a pound and shows a
neat surplus.
He offers no remedy for the
present state of affairs but
higher postal charges. He fails
to take into account the ex
cessive payments made to the
railroads or the circumstance
that the express companies
carry matter cheaper than the
Government. They not only
underbid the Government in its
own business, but they have
been influential enough to pre-
vent it from establishing a par
GELS post such as foreign coun-
tries enjoy.
On the rural free. delivery
service alone, Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock admits, the
Government sustains a loss of
about $2s, 100000 in an expendi-
ture of $32, 100000 annually.
As John Brisben Walker points
out, it carries only twenty-five
pounds per trip wagon. when
with a percels-post system each
of these wagons might be car
rying from 500 to 700 pounds a
trip each way and so contribu-
ting to the profit of the Govern
ment and the convenience of
the rural districts it undertakes
to serve. With public facili-
ties like those long in operation
in Great Britain and on the
Continent, a branch of the
pastal service developed at
enormous loss and yearly re-
sponsible for larger and larger
deficits would be clearing
millions.
The rural service is only a
small part relatively of the
postal field in which the volume
of business profitable for the
Government would be increased
if parcels were carried at the
rate of one cent pound. The
Government is already equip
ped with more than 10000 fully
organized stations. In most OF
these the cost of nothing ad.
ditional except for the short
wagon haul in the locality.
How long must it remain true,
as John Wanamaker said il
was twelve years ago when he
was Postmaster General, that
there are "four insuperable OBJ
stacles to a parcels-post sys-
tenn the four big express
companies IN. Y. World.
