Two RAILROAD WRECKS
Occurred In and Near Oakland Last
I Friday HOrning.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company had considerable difficulty
last Friday morning to keep its trains
moving on anything like schedule time.
owing to two wrecks which occurred
during the early hours of the day in and
near Oakland.
The first accident was caused by the
undergearing of a freight car coming
down which derailed the car near the
Frantz Hotel 1t bumped along over
the ties until the Second street crossing
was reached and there the train was
stopped after doing considerable dam
age to the ties of the track and holding
up traffic for an hour or more.
The second wreck occurred near the
old Charles Shaffer farm one mile west
of town, where five empty steel coal
cars were derailed, two of them turn
ing turtle and piling down the embank-
ment. The wrecking crew was called
INTO service and the obstruction was
cleared away in about three hours after
the wreck occurred.
Trains both east and west were
forced to use the eastbound track while
the obstruction remained on the road
bed, thus impeding traffic and DELAYING
both passenger and freight trains.

JUDGMENT REVERSED.
CAUSE REMANDEO.
nr. horgart Again Wins in the Court
of Appeals.

The case of William A. Morgart VS..
Thomas F. Smouse, being No. Sc on
the docket on the Court of Appeals,
was on Friday decided by Judge Bruke,
reversing the judgment in the court be-
low and remandlng the case. This is
the second time the case has been heard
before the Court of Appeals, Mr.. Nor
CART winning each time.
This suit as originally tried was be-
fore Judges Henderson and Keedy, sit
ting as law court. Mr.. Smouse sued
to recover thirty thousend dollars from
Mr.. Morgart, alleging that they were
partners in the sale of. some valuable
coal and timber land IN Garrett county,
and further alleging that the profits
were sixty thousand dollars, from the
sale. The court sitting as law court
gave Mr.. Smouse a judgment for S9,O0l.
MIR. Morgart appealed the case and
the Court of Appeals reversed the judg-
ment below, one of the reasons being
that the case should have been tried in
a court OF equity.
Mr.. Smouse next brought suit IN a
court of equity and the case was heard
before Judge Keedy. who rendered a
verdict for the same same amount as
first obtained, $9,OOl
Mr.. sMorgart again appealed with the
result that the judgment below is again
reversed and the cause ren anded.
While the full text of the decision has
not arrived it is understood that one Of
the reasons tor the reversal of the case
as given Is that Mr.. Morgart was not
allowed anything for his time and the
use of his money, the cost of which fall
upon Mr.lSmouse will be about $1,000.
Ex-Judge Ferdinand Williams and
DeWarreniH. Reynolds represented Mr..
Morgart and Thomas J. Peddicord and
D. j. Blackiston Mr.. Smouse.

CHEERLESS HOMES.

The young man of today" is so
often viewed with alarm and regarded
with solicitude that moral homihes
about him have lost their force. Some
body is always saving him in a new
way until he grows rather tired of be-
ing saved.
Here, however, is bit of true gospel
that will appeal to him-and it may
likewise appeal to his parents. THE
homeless home" says a Cleveland min
lister, lis the greatest danger to the
young man of today. An unsympathetic
home has more peril in it than the sa-
loon, the gambling den or the street.
The home should be a home in the
truest sense of the word, and not
mere place to eat and sleep"
The danger is negative, of course,
but 1t drives the young man to positive
evils. He wants comfort and sympa-
thy, and if he doesn't get them where
ne lives he will go elsewhere. The
home is place to live in. Comfortable
chairs and touches, freplaces that are
used and furnaces that work, plenty of
lights wherever lights are needed,
warm rugs and walls tastefully tinted
and hung with good pictures, good
meals and adequate provision for casual
lunches, music, sunlight and a general
atmosphere of cheerfulness, sympathy
and tolerance; these are the things that
make a home real to the much discussed
Young man. What though he does muss
thingss up .and leave footprints on the
floor andson odor of tobacco in the par
lor? There are things more desirable
than perfect order and. model house
keeping.

MARYLAND AND The. INCOME TAX
AMENDMENT.

Senator Germans opposition to the
Income tax, expressed in his speech at
Annapolis last night, is in direct OPP
position to the promises of his party as
expressed in its national platform. We
believe it is also in conflict with the
views of the rank andifle of the Dem
o:rats of the country.
The reasons or.giving the'lNational
Government the fright to impose the
tax havesbeen repeatedly summarized.
Senator Browns. of Nebraska, in a
speech in theE Senates!recently, thus
reiterated them:
First, because it restores to the Gov
eminent the right to exercise a power
possessed and exercised al various times
for more than hundred years.
Second, because it confers a power
now enjoyed by every other sovereign
nation in the world.
Third, because in times of peace it
may become necessary to the general
welfare.
Fourth, because in a national emer-
gency it may become necessary to the
life OF the nation.
Mr.. Germans idea that the State
can levy an income tax and his belief
that "tew men of wealth will try to
evade tiff he is speaking seriously
are difficult to reconcile with assump-
ton of knowledge that justifes one in
debating the proposition. Imposition
of an !income flax by a State is not a
new thing. We'believe one has been in

perfectly glharmless all the tim

To Change Forest Fire Law.

A bill Just introduced in the State
Legislature by Senator Biddison makes
some needed changes in the present
forest fire law that should prove yery
beneficial The proposed law divides
the expense Of extinguisnlng forest fires
equally between the county and the
state. Under the present law the coun-
" has to pay the entire expense Of ex-
tingushing forest fires, and then has
the power TO collect the costs from the
landowners on whose account the money
was expended. This means that the
landowner who suffers most from forest
fires must not only sustain the loss. but
pay the largest share Of the expense Of
putting out the fire for which he Is
probablyiin no way responsible
This bill in addition gives the forest
wardens the power to arrest in ease Of
detected violations Of the forest laws,
and also gives them the power to sum
mon help to extlrguish forest fires
The bin should have the support Of all
woodland owners.
There are ., 600, coo acres Of woodland
in the State from which was cut in 1905
nearly s.. 900 worth Of material
The principal cut was lumber amounting
to 225. 900, 600 board feet. but included
also an immense quantities Of plling,

RULE ABOUT STAMPED ENVELOPE
Postal Bills Prohibits Printing Names
and Addresses of Business Houses

The House Committee on Postotiices
and Post Roads, Washington, has de-
cided to include in the appropriation bill
about to be reported provision pro-
hibiting the PostofIice Department
from furnishing stamped envelopes con-
tanning the names and addresses Of
the business houses to which they are
supplied.
Heretofore, for a slight additional
co t, it has been possible for business
firms to obtain stamped envelopes from
the Department which bore in the left
hand corner the printed name and adj
dress Of the firm These envelopes
were especially IN favor with banking
firms. For a number of years various
printers and publishers throughout the
country have been protesting against
the Postoffice Department invasion of
the printing field At the expiration of
the Government S present contract with
a Dayton, O., printing firm, the Post
office Committee would have the prac-
tice discontinued. Hereafter the De-
partment will be allowed to supply only

The Department has made little or no
profit on the printing of envelopes, the
practice having been employed manly

HISTORY OF SURGERY
Subject OF The Lecture To be Given
By DR.. F. c. LarlmOre

The history of surgery in the past
century furnishes one of the most re-
markable chapters in human affairs.
Surgery is the grandest and noblest
of the sciences, and most beneicent
to mankind.
Anaethesia with its worldwide
blessings Is confessedly American.
No one can measure the vast In
nuence which the discovery of An
tisceptics has made upon the human
race, It has saved millions of lives.
Indeed the whole range of surgical
achievement Is crowded with mar
wells, and has led to almost limitless
possibilities of restoring and retain
ing the powers of the human body
That the wonders and possibilities
of surgery may be better understood

coCoANUTS FALL AT NIGHT
This Accounts For Small Loss Of Life
Among Natives
Bakers Weekly

In the tropics, where the cocoanut |
is wanted for planting, the nuts are
picked up when they fall from the
trees where they have hung for about
Ia months in ripening. 1t is a fact
not generally known that majority
of the nuts drop at night, which prob
ably accounts for the small loss OF
life by cocoanuts falling upon the
heads of the natives.
The action of the heavy dew at
night loosens the seal with which ma
ture has porvided the nut and allows
1t to fall The nuts wanted for plant
ing are either gathered into heaps or
placed under sheds, where they are
allowed TO sprout before planting, In
order that good healthy "sprout nuts"
may be selected, thus avoiding the
possibility of planting blind" nuts
that would not sprout in which case
much time would be lost in tsarting
"cocoanut walks" as the orchards
are called When holes are dug about
three feet deep and 20 feet apart the
nut is carefully placed in the hole
and covered with about one foot of
soil. The hole is filled as the sprout
grows until it reaches the surface,
when 1t is left to itself, requiring no
/ further attention. Should the place
where the cocoanut Is planted be any
great distance from the seashore a
quantity of salt is placed in the hole.
II will grow in luXuriance, however
but short distance from the shore
nearness to salt water heing abso
lutely essential to Its welfare.
An interesting story is told by q
gentleman who resided for some years
In the tropics. He planted a cocoanut
tree behind board fence some dis
tarce from the sea. The tree grew
perfectly straight until 1t reached the
top of the fence, when 1t began t
. grow toward the ocean, leaning foo
} or more; then a shed was built, quite
+, near the fence, but several feet high
. or and the tree again grew straigh
until the roof of the shed was reached
-, when 1t again leaned toward the sea
a forming a very curious and odd-look
: ing tree,
The irregular growth was wholly al
; tributed to the influence of the sal
d air. No magnet is truer to the pol
e than the root of the cocoanut tree t
Q the ocean, for when the root break
through its husk 1t points directly t
}, ward the sea, no matter what the pC
o sition of the nut when placed in tn
Q ground.
