less in the interim, a settlement of the case might be effected.
 The terms offered for settlement were apparently such that both sides could not get together and the infer ence that might be drawn from what Attorney King stated to the court that an adjournment would have to be taken so that the witnesses might be notified, it would indicate that the case is to be contested and fought to the end on the grounds that MT. Bass was insane and therefore not qualified to make a will.

ANDERSON IN STRAIGHT FALLS.
Defeats AbduIah Bey, the Turk-HisI Class WrestIins-chaIIenses Jael McGrath.

Those who took the opportunity to go to the rooms of the Windham Ath- letic club Wednesday evening witness ed one of the best cards hat has been organization, and the very best wrest- ling match that was ever fought out in this city-bar none. Never has there been a match here that was so of the call of time The contestants were frst-class also, Sam Anderson, the middleweight champion of the world, and Abdulah Bey. the Turk, a fore been thrown in a match since his arrival in this country. When An- nouncer L.. N. Dondero introduced the men there was tuInu1t of applause as the contestants stripped for action. Abdulah Bey was a very rugged look ing man and showed that he had won- derfui strength and stamina, but he was none the less scientific. New and unheard of stunts of the game exhib- ited by each man served to keep the tense audience enthralled all the time. Once 1t seemed that Anderson was pinned to the mat on a toe hold, and the Turk asked if he gave up, but then, at an unexpected twist, Anderson hurled him against the ropes and out side into the benches, and the Turk was dazed for a moment. They went at it again, and after hard and clever work Anderson won the first fall on the toe hold in 22 minutes.
 When the men came together for the second trial the Turk forced the go- ing and his strength seemed ta be wearing Anderson down for a few mo- ments, but the latter came back stronger and stronger and soon the fierceness of the battle began to tell on the Turk Anderson was on top most of the time The audience went wild at the fine quality of the match, and when Anderson finally forced Ab- dulah Bey down and held him to the mat for the second and last fall in Is minutes, on a head, scissors and body hold, there was another great round of applause.
 Anderson addressed the crowd some thing like this: "Gentlemen, when was here last time challenged Jack McGrath, the Irish Giant of Norwich, and offered to bet that I could throw him; but to date he has taken no mo- tice of me Perhaps you think I'll be up against hard proposition, but can throw him, and he knows I can, that can throw him twice within an hour. I will wager $100 that can do this.''
 Kid Bullock of Mansfield and Piko Barber of this city furnished the first preliminary. and Barber won two out of the three falls in less than half an hour. Kid Connell and Monk Me- Quillan, both of this city, spared three rounds for the second prelim. or semi final, and pleased the crowd Frank Mclean refereed all matches and Ar- thur B. Small was timekeeper.

Remember the County Poor.

Christmas is drawing very near,
and to those Of us who have home
and friends, it means good cheer, the
ings. To the inmates of our County
Home for the Poor, it means either
a very happy day because Of the
kind thoughtfulness of others, who
are willing to share their blessings
with them, or a sad day because they
feel they are old and poor and forgot
ten. But remembering the prompt
and liberal responses of past years,
/ feel confident that it il only neces-
sary to remind the generous people
of Carroll county, that we cannot car
ry the Christmas cheer to them with
out their assistance, and once more
ask that all who are willing to help,
will send their donations as early as
possible, SO that we may be able to
select with care and judgment, the lit
tie gifts which will add to their COM
fort and happiness. During the year,
several Of our most liberal contribu-
tors have gone to their reward, and
have heard the ''Inasmuch as We have
done it unto one of the least of these,
my brethren, We have done it unto
Me-" But I feel confident that others
will take their places, and that as
usual, our County Poor will enjoy
Christmas Day with us. Please send
contributions as early as possible in
care of

A Busy Place in Carroll

The Tidewater Portland Cement
Company has erected two new houses
on the site OF the old skating rink in
Union Bridge, remodeled another
residence into double house and
in the early winter or spring will
erect other houses for employees.
Since the coming of the Cement Com
pany to Union Bridge the demand for
houses has been so great that even
though rents have been greatly ad-
vanced all houses there have been
constantly occupied, whereas before
there were many vacant houses in the
town. The local newspaper, The
Union Bridge Pilot, has been plead
ing for months with citizens to awake
to their opportunities and build
houses, arguing that failure to do
this would result in the Cement Com
pany building their own houses for
employees of the Company.
Co-incident with this announcement
of increased work offered by the Ce-
ment Company comes the announce
ment from the Western Maryland
Railway Company, whose repair shops
are at Union Bridge, that all the
workmen have been laid off until the
first of December.
The Cement plant is now approach
ing completion of all foundations for
buildings to be erected. Over three
hundred men are working every day
and holidays, and by February 1st
next, all the machinery will have
been delivered.

Auditorium.

Grace George, who has played many
important roles and whose fame a. an
actress extends on both sides Of the
Atlantic, has never had a more salts
factory role than that of Kitty Con-
stable in her new play by Geraldine
Bonner, Sauce for the Goose" which
will be presented at the Auditorium,
Baltimore, commencing December
and continuing for one week. Kitty
Constable, wife of a literary man and
student, finds that her lack of real
interest in her husbands work has
created a barrier between them and
inclined him to court the society of
another woman of professed similar
inclinations. He even accepts an in
vitation to dine with the other woman
on the anniversary of his wedding
night. The wife resents this neglect,
accepts an invitation from a friend to
60 to the opera and also enjoy late
supper, and thus arouseS her huS-
bands jealousy. This is the mere
background of series of scenes, in
which the clever and vet seemingly
unconscious wit OF the wife, and her
keen appreciation Of the humorous
side of the modern game of Irritation,
gives a delightful element OF comedy
to the situations.
By special arrangement, Frank
Worthing will appear in association
with Miss George, and an admirable
cast throughout has been provided.
