The Waggaman Case Settled.

A compromise agreement was reach
ed in the District Supreme Court on
Tuesday by which a material portion OF
the estate of the late Thomas E.
Waggaman, bankrupt, will be disburs-
ed. A good many people in this county
lost money through the failure of
Waggaman.
By the terms of the compromise the
Catholic University will receive $275,-
900 in cash out of the fund realized by
the sale of the Waggaman art gallery.
The university will also be permitted
to retain about $50, 600 collected or a
series of notes turned over to the insti-
tuition by Mr.. Waggaman prior to his
death. By this arrangement the
university's claim will be satisfied to
the extent of about 90 cents on the dol
lar, the university agreeing to make no
further claim against the estate until
general creditors have received an
equal amount proportionately.
In consideration of the amount which
it will thus receive the university
agrees to surrender to Trustee H.
Rozier Dulaney all of the balance of
the art gallery fund, amounting to
about $82, 900, for which it is intended
to make John F. Waggaman, the
brother of the bankrupt, responsible.
The university will also surrender a
deed of trust it holds against the
Waggaman property known as Wood
lev.

Word was received from Baltimore
last week that a large number of turf
men now racing their string of horses
in Canada will ship direct to this town,
for the meeting which begins here
September 26th and continues 20 days.
At the end of the Marlboro meeting
shipments will be made to Pimlico for
the regular fall meeting of the Mary
land Jockey Club. The Fair Associa-
ton here is now in debt and the build
ings on the grounds require extensive
improvements. The object of the race
meet is to secure money to pay off the
debt and make the improvements. The
profit derived from the meet will bene-
fit the general public and not any indi-
vidual. The aim of the board of direc-
tors is to establish an agricultural en-
terprise which will be of benefit to all
Southern Marylnnd, as the money to be
derived from the rent of grounds will
enable the association to improve the
property and continue the agricultural
exhibitions.

Memorial Stamps
for Charles Dickens
Plan is Started to Raise Some Funds
for the Descendants Of the
Writer.

The admirers OF Charles Dickens have
inaugurated q plan for a Dickens Memorial
fund which will express a debt OF graft
tude to the estate of the great humorist
and will make UP for the fact that he
was never given the full privileges Of copy
right and was unable to leave a compe-
tence 10 his descendants. There are now
living three children and seventeen grand
children Of his family. and some of them
are in straitened circumstances.
During his lifetime Dickens novels were
widely read in America and their sales
brought huge profits to American pub
fishers. but nothing to the author. There
are copies of them scattered over the
whole United States, and It Is the purpose
of this memorial committee to get every
owner OF q Dickens book TO fix in II a
memorial stamp. These stamps are to
cost cents apiece They are handsomely
engraved book plates. with the inscription,
"A Tribute to Genius, ls12-lsl2, Centenary
Testimonial, Charles Dickens"
II is estimated that there are 1900 900
copies OF Dickens works In the homes
of English speaking peoples and the rev.
enue that can be raised from fixing in
nest of them the 2 cent stamps will
amount to hundreds OF thousands Of dol
lars.
In England the movement was started
by the Strand magazine and In the United
States It will be managed by Francis
Arthur Jones, honorary secretary, who
can be addressed at the New York Press
club
On the memorial committee are many of
the most prominent literary men on both
sides Of the Atlantic, and a world wide
movement will be started in the year 1911.
