There is nothing more important To
great city like Baltimore, than an
abundant supply of good water. In
addition to IN enlarged supply, the
city must have an up-to-date filtra-
ton plant Much of the inconven-
fence which the housekeepers and
others are now experiencing In Bal
timore, with the water condition
would be relieved IL the water came
To them free from mud. This can
only be accomplished by a process of
filtration
Baltimore has been somewhat slow
to move in the matter of its water
supply, but we think the present
crisis will spur the authorities to 10
ahead, as rapidly as such a large
work will permit, 80 that the city
may be protected against the recur-
renee of present conditions. For the
comfort and convenience and health
or the people this ought to Be- o.
The citizens Of our good little city
of Westminster, are to be congratu-
lated upon the fact that our water
company has furnished US, and is
continuing to furnish us with good
water and an abundant supply.
For pure water and plenty Of it,
and air rich in the ozone of the
mountains, Westminster cannot be ex-
cel1ed

BALTIMORE'S WATER SUPPLY.

The people of Baltimore have for
some weeks past been greatly con
cerned about their water supply. They
have been put in the disagreeable po-
sition Of facing the dangers and in
conveniences Of a water famine.
The apprehension has been measur-
ably relieved, for the present, by the
copious rains that have fallen upon
the water sheds of the city's supply
II looks now as if the amount of wa
ter which ID flowing into the reser-
voirs will meet the actual needs of
the people.
The city authorities have, however,
called upon all citizens to carefully
avoid waste, and thus help them to
conserve TIE supply, and prevent
what would otherwise be a most dis
astrous situation.
There il another thing about the
water supply of Baltimore, at this
time, while not as serious as having
no water at ait, il highly troublesome
and disagreeable, and that il, that it
is SO muddy, as it comes from the res
ervoirs, a. to BE- unfit for use 1T must

mud settles to the bottom of the YES

are doing, by tiltering it, And then
after that is done, the health author

make 1t safe to drink. 20 that the
people of Baltimore are having a
pretty troublesome time with their
present water condition.
That the city authorities will at
once take UP this important subject
W. have no doubt, for 1T IL really a
vital and urgent matter

The Sentinel of last week says,
1T il a great pity that the supply Of

THE MONTH OF PICNICS.

This is the month for picnics in this
county and elsewhere through the
State The Sunday schools. church
es, lodges and other societies love to
gather, during the balmy days of Au-
gust, in some shady grove near run
ming water, spread their big table
cloths on the grass and eat wonder
full viands prepared i'm the appetizing
way that not many others beside our
good Maryland housewives know
about
A writer in one Of the city papers
laments because he imagines that the
good old fashioned picnic il obsolete
he thinks that the average up-to-
date person is little ashamed of go
ing on the pleasant informal excur-
sions to the woods which our grand
parents delighted in; and he says
that when they do 20 they take can
ned goods instead OF the old-time deli
cacies.
We could show that writer thing
or two at some of the big picnics in
this county. Should he be fortunate
enough to attend one Of these func-
lions, he would find hampers and
baskets full of deliciously prepared
fried chicken, sandwiches, jelly-roll,
pound cake, cookies and pies, and he
would find that from fifty to one
hundred gallons of ice cream are con-
stunned with just a. much relish al
in the by-gone days for which he
pines.
During the whole of August, Farm
ers' Grange picnics are held at one
point or another in the State. These
are delightful occasions, very instruc-
tive to farmers in these days Of scien-
tific farming, when agricultural prob
lens are discussed by prominent
specialists Of the National Grange or
connected with the State Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.

There Is great art In SchlaeEer fight

face alone Is slashed; how deep the
wounds are made shows In the faces
of so many noted Germans. A scar
from Heidelberg is regarded as an
honor and no effort Is made TO efface
the mark after II has r called. The
most serious duels sometimes reach
forty-tlve rounds and are arranged by
a special court Of honor composed Of
students. When the two. com batants
face each other the umpire demands
silence, and at the word "Go!" the
men begin. Blood often flows at the
first slash. Frequently second will
have the duel stopped while he ex-
amines q wound or wipes away the
blood. surgeon Is always present,
and he too examines the slashes from
time to :ime, and the fight goes on un-
til the members Of one 0. the Korps

every day. Each Korps has several
students who are considered perfect
In the art Of duelling. and they are
termed a Bursch. Three well-fought
duels are necessary TO gain this COW
eted name. The other members are
known as foxes. and are treated about
the same as q freshman In our uni
versitles and In many cases they have
a hard road to travel: indeed. they
must be able to fight In duel for
ter minutes before they can wear the
ribbon of the korps on their cap. The

No Heidelberg student would dare fail
to do 80. The punishment Is not ex-
cessively cruel. but Is exacting and far
better than being thrown into cell
with criminals. as is done in our uni
versity towns where the student hap
pens to commit some trif1ing indis-
cretion. The city policeman does not
arrest the student In Germany. If
the latter Ia any way disturbs the
peace the officer will ask him to show
his student card. From this the Of
ficer obtains the name and reports 1t
to the university police. who attends
to the arrest and the 'beadle to his In
generation. While these young men
are in the Career they spend much OF
their time In dec Grating its walls until
there is hardly a spot in any OF the
rooms which Is not covered with gro
tesque paintings and drawings. The
names Of several Of Germany's great
est statesmen appear here. which goes
to show that for some reason or other
while at college they have tasted Car

freedom-each being his own master

of zinc with the edges slightly up,urn-
ed. a chair Ia ir the centre sand. the
surgeons table near by. After the duel
the men are placed In this chair while
their wounds are being dressed, and
the zinc Is to prevent the blood from
running over the floor. The duelist
is We covered when he IL ready for
the fght, and when fully equipped his
appearance Is not unlike that OF
deep-sea diver. There are guards for
the eyes, guards for the neck. guards
for the nose and guards for the ears.
The legs and body are partly covered
with q chamois leather suit, and the
right arm Is we'll padded with soft
silk material. The duelling room Is
perhaps fifty by thirty feet. The floor
Is bare and we'll spotted with blood.
Tables and chairs are placed around

wine while the duel Is In progress.
The different Korps do not intermin-

sit apart and encourage their members
who are fighting. The sword used Is
known as the "Schlaeger" and the
mode Of fighting with 1t Is said to be
