WaterFamine!

1t is with regret that this Company
is again called upon to warn its pa
irons in the careful use of water. Our
storage supply is completely exhaust
ed, so that we are pumping into our
reservoirs alone the daily supply run
ming from our streams, which is di-
minishing day by day. Many rains
fallen in Annapolis have passed by our
wter sheds entirely. A personal in
spection of our plant reveals the fact
that our supply TODAY is lower than
at any time during the drouth of last
year.
1t is ABSOLUTELY IMPE RA I'VE
that all street and lawn sprinkling be
discontinued. While the public has
cordially co-operated with the Com
pany towards this end, it is regret
able fact that some persons still con-
tinue to sprinkle their lawns gardens
and streets, utterly unmindful of the
injury they are working the com
munity.
No charge will be made for street
or lawn service from July /, 1911, un-
til further notice.
1t is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE
that this appeal be STRICTLY and
HONESTLY OBSERVED.

BEER AT CORNELL

Ithaca Dispatch to the New York Times.
 The current number of the Cornell Era registers a protest against dry senior banquets, and urges the committee in charge to the last celebration of the senior class to provide enough beer to go around several times. The article says:
 "One hopes that the committee in charge may avoid the mistake of last year, when the banquet closely resembled the social gathering of the w. c. T. U. It is indeed sad commentary on the self-control of the members of the senior class when they are not trusted to keep sober for an evening unless prevented from getting something to drink. 7
 Include beer in the menu. Not as much as each man can drink, but enough to go around several times. We would like to see a successful senior banquet and not one attended by a very small percentage of the members of the class, as was the case when the banquet was dry last year.
 | The Era admits that in the old days there was need for reform, but says that the percentage of students who now drink with regularity is so small as to be al- most negligible.

USE OF COCAINE IN SOUTH

From the Washington Post.
 "One of the growing evils among the negroes of the south is the use of CO., caine," remarked E. W. Boyd. lawyer, of Charleston, S. C., at the Raleigh. This is particularly the case with negroes em- ployed in the large lumber camps in those sections where there is local option. The taking away of the opportunity for them to procure liquor has led them to turn to cocaine, and the effects, you may inn agine, are infinitely worse than an indul- gence in whisky. In nearly every large lumber camp in the south scores of ne- groes can be found loling around under the influence of cocaine.
 "The authorities have sought to pre- vent the sale of this drug by restrictive ordinances, but in every community there are to be found two or three vendors of the drug. It can be had in quantities. Co., caine used to be sold in the ordinary state in which it is handed out over the counters of drug stores, but now 1t is to be had in crystal. resembling rock candy.
 Now, while I am opposed to the indis- criminate sale of liquor to the negroes, I believe that the use of cocaine is far worse. How to overcome the conditions is a problem the solution of which Is wor- rying the owners of the big lumber camps and factories where large propor- tion of employees are colored."

MINE HOST OF THE MERMAID

From the Christian Science Monitor.
 London-During the course of lec- ture delivered at the Haymarket theatre, Lord Howard de Walden spoke of a dis covery that had been made in connection with Shakespeare's famous duel of the wits at the Mermaid.
 He said that he believed that it was not known who the host of the Mermain had been. but in looking through some old manuscripts at the British museum a friend of his had been delighted to find in the genealogy of a certain Thomas Lloyd the following clause. which ran:
 His wife was a maisters widow of Henley on Thames, and had issue Rich ard Lloyd of the Mermaid Cheapside."
 This particular Richard Lloyd was born in 15S7, and so was not the actual landlord during Shakespeares time, but 1t seems possible that he had succeeded his father in the possession of the Mermaid. There Is no record in the London register, nor in those of Henley, of the marriage of Thomas Lloyd, but it is certain that there was a considerable Welsh colony living there, and in MS. in the Welsh national library this record is to be found: "Thom- as Lloyd went to live in London" evil dence which seems to confirm the idea that this was the identical Thomas Lloyd whose son was afterward married to the 'maister's widow and was landlord of the famous hostelry.

Public Schools of the State

The late legislature did many com- rnendable things. It substituted local option for statewide prohibition. It promoted agriculture by coming to the aid of farm demonstration work. It authorized the cities of the state to adopt the commission form of gov ernment.' It put before the people constitutional proposition to segre- gate Jefferson county in the matter of fees and court costs. It did pass several excellent public school bills.
 But it did not absolutely and un- qualifiedly increase the public school fund. Beyond the one mill tax the ap- propriation of the state may go to $600,000 for public school purposes and it may stand at $350,000, in the discretion of Governor O'Neal.
 Nor did it pass the resolution sub mitting to the people a proposition to permit school district to have a better school if it is willing to pay the increased cost. No other state ex- cept one puts limit upon the people in the matter of public education. In 43 states every possible inducement is held out for the promotion rather than the limitation of public educa- tion. A handful of men in the senate defeated the constitutional proposi- tion. They would not trust the people and they had had little love perhaps for the public schools.
 This issue should be kept in mind by the people, especially when legis- lators are to be chosen. The county unit should not be accepted. Every school district should be left free to decide what kind of a school it will have. The example of one district in country might become contagious until all the schools of a county had been bettered.

ator Bailey and his following, while the new and possibly more progress sive democratic senators thing a new senator from the middle west or the northwest should be named.
 The St. Louis Globe-Democrat does not hesitate in an editorial to slander Senator Johnston. It says Johnston, like Bailey, is against Canadian reel procity, and is also against the bill to put articles on the free list which has been shaped in the House committee" :" There is not a word of truth in this. It is simply an effort to promote dis cord in the democratic ranks-to ren- der the democrats in the senate as inharmonious as even the House re- publicans. The wish is father to the thought, and in the end it will be found that the democrats in the sen- ate are as we'll organized and as en- thusiastic in demanding a downward revision of the tariff and a conse- quent reduction in the cost of living as are the House democrats under the admirable leadership of Champ Clark and Oscar Underwood.

FITTING ON A TANK TOWN SHOW

ognition comes He reads aloud as he writes:
 "'Twas dark and stormy evening that a beautiful young lady might have been seen stepping from the stony stoop of her magnificent mansion, and, holding out her beieweled hand for a moment to de- termine the fierceness of the downpour' start unsteadily to cross the street. An! From behind the shadow of tall and laundering maple, a man of sinister ap- pearance with black, flowing mustaches' beady eyes and darkened skin, starts in pursuit He seizes her in his grasp, cry ing, Aha, me fair maid; at last l nave youi' But such was not to be. At that moment street car ground him ln'o thousand pieces, but undismayed, ne gathered himself together like joint snake. and the villain still pursued her.
 The great spectacular drama, Life for Life" is nothing more than "The Phoe- nix" in which Milton and Dolly Nobles made the expression-"The villain stlli pursued her''-popular A-odd years ago.
 Just how long the first act stays on depends on how well the actors remember their lines. The play may have had a hundred performances, but that makes no difference. Someone misses few lines, someone else misses few more and then the rest skip the unimportant sentences just to keep the others company.
 The rope that guards the wood drop IS loosened, and sicky group of wrinkled trees unrolls itself to do it's duty as landscape. A stump is needed for the wooded scene, both as part Of the DIG ture and as a sitting place for the actors. There is no stump in the house, The property man lights another cigarette, spark of which might imprison 200 persons in a fire trap. Two puffs of delberation. Then three tacks, a nail keg, one ham mer and piece of green cloth result Tn stump. Two soap boxes, more tacks, the same hammer and another piece or cloth make messy bank upon which the heroine may recline.s Of course no one ever saw messy bank of such rec tangular proportions. But then, it's only a. play and a person shouldn't go to see show unless he has at least spark or imagination.
 Another heavenly trip is made by the fishing smack, to be followed by one in the opposite direction. The heavy man makes an announcement of the play Of the next night while the comedian sells song books in his makeup, and then With tne kind nermission of the audience" comes the closing act Two more trips of the front curtain and the actors go to their boarding houses with nothing at all to do until the next day-when they can get up help distribute handblls, parade at noon. play in front of the opera house at dinner time and go on With new n,oy at night. The next week salaries may ston. and after that-but who cares?
