BERLIN, May s.--A political ana

the publication of a book. German

eit,er Rudolph Martin. in which the
author indicates that q court plot ex-

caused political explosion.
The chancellor, according TO Mar

kaiser's overthrow.

The chanceiior's retirement from

unexpected development In the plot,
the chancellor essaying a martyrs
role and assuming the responsibility
for the interviews in the hope that
the public would see In the supposed
Eactifice added cause to arraign the
Emperor, To this end the chancellor
made II plain that the Kaiser was re-
Aponsibae for the interviews. but that
he accepted responsibility through
patriotism,
Martin charges that Won Buelow
even arranged the hunting trip that
the Kaiser engaged In at that time,

him.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

directly upon the blood and mucous sur

the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the

Mad Dog Fills Trees.

Glendale, Del, June s.-Trees were
in demand at Oakley. near here, when a
large mastiff. supposed to have been
affected with the rabies, chased two
people into the sheltering branches of a
nearby orchard and was finally killed
BY Harry Benjamin. who. hearing cries
for help, came from his farm with a
loaded gun.
The dog made its first appearance as
M. A. Webb was walking through his
field, looking at the growing crops.
Without warning, it viciously made for
Webb. who hastily took TO his heels. and
after sprint that would have won a
Marathon, managed to reach a peach
tree in his orchard, where he was barely
ensconced from the swapping and snarl-
ing dog.
While Webb was considering means
of escape, Mrs. Harvey Passwater came
walking along the road and the big dog
left Webb just long enough to start Mrs.
Passwater for the tall timber. into which
she climbed to safety, while the animal
alternated in running from one tree to
the other, keeping both victims up and
in anxiety. Their calls for help finally
brought Benjamin and relief.

disgust at the attitude of the
News.
The Grasty luminary was
nearly as bad. but it is learning
gradually that there is some
manhood left in Maryland yet,
and Crothers and Smith are not
the kind of men who are afraid
to do what they believe is right
just because the editor of the
Sun or the News tries to bully
rag them into doing something
else.
We believe both of these pa
pers would desist from being so
yellow if they knew the senti-
ment of the people, and We be-
lieve they would desist from
giving Baltimore such a bad
name if they realized that they
are leaving the impression with
the public that the city is full
of swindlers. Every public
official is now looked on with
suspicion and the muck.raker
keeps busy all the time.

Something Gone Wrong.

If something didn't go wrong
with the Baltimore newspapers
last Monday, then we miss
our guess. OF course we refer
to those papers which have
been predicting for many weeks
that Governor Crothers was
setting up for himself political
ly, and that he had forgotten
the friendship of Governor
Smith and had tied up with our
curly-headed Acknowledgement
to do the Brutus act. 1t was
predicted that the Governor
would not vote for the retention
of Hon. Buchanan Schley as
State Tax Commissioner simply
because he is a true friend of
Senator John Walter Smith.
Governor Crothers and his new
Comptroller voted for Mr..
Schley, and Mr.. Vandiver, who
was outspoken for him, made it
unanimous. There was not the
least bit of friction at the meet
ing of the Board of Public
Works, and nothing detrimen-
tai to Mr.. Schley was said or
done. The Baltimore News had
made an ass of itself regarding
the reappointment of Mr..
Schley, and its bray was so
loud and long that the people,
and we guess the Governor,
also, got tired of it, and if they
ever had anything against Mr..
Schley they forgot it in their
