have carried on a great work in the education
OF children and in moral suasion among the
elders. but they have taken cases into court
and have prosecuted wilful and persistent VI
olators of the law, until today the bird protec-
tive laws are as much feared as any otner
laws ON the statute books. There always have
been some laws against the wanton killing OF
useful birds, but until the men and women OF
the American Ornithologists union and OF the
Audubon society went earnestly at their laDors

The unusual cold Of that winter fifteen years

There were only few left to come back to

never more clearly shown than In this case.
The blue birds today have recruited their
ranks under protection and are as numerous
as ever they were.
For years the bird protectionists went

THE C0NViCT'S DAUGHTER.
Opening Bill at Empire Theatre a
Great Success.

The Convict's Daughter, which was
the opening show in Nally's New En-
pire Theatre, Nov. 18th, was both
dramatic and financial success.
This play was produced by local tai
ent, with Mr.. Chas. Barton as instruc-
tor, who thoroughly understands every
branch of the stage, a tact that was
proven by the professional way each of
the characters acquitted themselves.
DR.. W. W. Grant thoroughly acted
his part as Col. Lee, Southern banker,
and made good impression on the
audience.
Mr.. NJ. Wellington Crane, as James
Blackburn, the villain, displayed great
talent and force of character.
Mr.. Mark S. White, as Jack Wor-
Ellington, made a gallant lover and
splendid example of Young America.
Miss Sue Littman, as Mrs. Lee, pos
sessed all the charm and motherly kind
ness for which the Southern women are
noted.
Miss Lena BIrchdorf, as Mana, dis
pIted possession, displayed brilliant
talent and her conception and acting of
this difficrlt part was perfect.
Miss Edith Ault, as Sadie, in a small
but difficult part, kept the audience
laughing whenever she was on the
stage, and displayed unusual talent.
Mr.. Barton, as Jerry the Tramp,
brought tears to the eyes Of the audi
ence and is entitled to great praise for
the manner in which the entire drama
was produced.
The piece was the most deliberately
staged and costumed ever seen in a
home talent play, and in fact there are
very few road companies that could
equal it. The make-ups were also very
artistic and gavethe final touch to make
the characters all that could be desired.

NO SCARE DEAL.
State Boundary Line Case Likely to
Go TO Court Again.

If the preliminary report made to
Governor Crothers by former State Sen
ator McCulloh Brown, Garrett county,
OF the commission which is relocating
the boundary line between West Vir-
ginia and Maryland, is borne out by his
lnal report, Attorney General Straus
will. likely appeal to the United States
Supreme Court for the settlement of
the controversy.
Mr. Brown was in Baltimore Wednes-
daysand informed the Governor that he
was being overruled on almost every
point by the other members of the com
mission, which is composed, in addition
to the Maryland representative of a
surveyor from West Virginia and
member of the national Geological sur
vey. The line in question is the old
Deakins boundary line on the border of
Garrett county. The line is 81 miles
long and is being relocated under orders
of the United States Supreme Court.
Mr.. Brown claims that he is making
an unsuccessful fight to have Mary
land deeds followed In relocating the
the line old patents and deeds are pre-
sented and carefully considered. 1t is
claimed that a number of deeds from
West Virginia show that claims have
been made to Maryland land. When
the Maryland deeds and patents are
presented by Mr.. Brown, he says the
other members of the commission over
rule him.
By the decision of the Supreme Court,
which settled a controversy of long
standing, the line was ordered located
so as not to disturb more than unavoid-
able the existing jurisdiction of the two
States Mr.. Brown claims the order is
not being adhered to and that by the
survey as it is proceeding, Maryland
will lose a large strip Of territory and
about Is voters. For this reason he is
contemplating making a minority re-
port and upon this the Attorney Gener-
al will likely appeal to the Supreme
Court.

THE LATE THOMAS ]. PEDDICORD.

In the death of Mr.. Thomas ]. Peddi-
cord, which occurred last Friday night
at his home IN Oakland, as told in our
news columns today, Oakland loses one
of her foremost citizens, the bar of the
county shining legal light, his asso-
ciates a true friend and counsellor, his
family loving husband and father, and
the newspaper fraternity ready writer
upon almost any subject.
Mr.. Peddicord contributed largely to
the press under the non-de-plume of
at Jay" His articles were eagerly
read by the general public, as they
always contained some new thought
enunciated in Mr.. Peddicord's peculiar
style.
As lawyer he stood at the head of
the local bar in practical knowledge of
the intricacies of the law and its APP
plication to the particular case in which
he was engaged. He was recognized
as a man of massive intellect and broad
views.
He will be missed IN the community
in which he dwelt for more than a third
of a century by his professional breth.
rem as well as by the laity.

uIatiOn Now Exceeding 1900

By the announcement made Tuesday

According to the official count the

compared with 1,18S,O44 in 1900, and
1,042, 800 in 1890 The increase 1900 to
1910, therefore, is 1O6, 406, or 8 per
cent.
In 1900 the population of Garrett
county, according to the census made
by the state after the federal census
had been completed, was 1901, or
ninety-nine less than the required 49,
600 necessary to give an additional mem
Der of the House of Delegates. This
