MURRAY HILL IMPROVEMENTS.
Bulkhead Completed-WOrk on Re-
tarring Macadam Streets Begun.

The engineering department of the
municipal government of Annapolis,
which has had little or no cessation
from active work for several years
past, is now finishing up a number of
comparatively small, though import
ant pieces of work, with a view of
having the way clear in the near flu
ture for the construction of the bulk
head across Charles street cove, and
the frightening of two sewers so as to
reach deep water at point beyond it.
The work was contemplated under
the bond issue of 1905, and balance
of 200 remains from the funds de-
rived from that issue, which may be
devoted to the purpose. A consider
able sum will be required in addition,
however. The sewer, which covers a
large portion of the western section
of the city, as we'll as Murray Hill,
empties at point beyond the pro-
posed bulkhead, but the Charles street
and South street sewers will have to
be extended. The extension of these
sewers to deep water will be a great
improvement of the sanitary condition
of that section.
1t is proposed to gradually fill in
the sections which wi llbe enclosed in
the bulkhead, the city filling in
along the extension of it's streets,
and the adjacent property owners
filling in within their own limits.
This will afford a number of new
lots and increased taxable basis for
the city. If the filling is done prop
erly and uniformity, some of the
best building lots in the 'city should
result, with a beautiful outlook
upon Spa creek.
City Engineer Little has made
good progress with the retarring of
a number of the macadam streets at
Murray Hill, and proposes to start in
a few days on the curbing of First and
Hill streets. The portion of South
gate avenue nearest the water has
also been curbed.

1.-THE FIRING LINE"
To Be Presented AT The Colonial Thea
ire Tomorrow Night.

Joseph E. Langdon in The Phila-
delnbia Visitor, reviews as follows
1.-THE Firing Line" to be produced IN
the Colonial Theatre, September So
matinee nd night.
.FAfter witnessing the performance
of The Firing Line at the Grand last
evening, it occurs to me that produc-
ing managers in exploiting plays
adapted from popular novels, lay too
great strength upon the source from
which their plays are derived. Frank
ly, confess to being one of the few
benighted individuals in the United
States who has not read Chambers
book: consequently, ! anticipated a
dull evening, believing that my lack
of acquaintance with the story would
mar my understanding of the play.
~ was agreeably. surprised. The
Firing Line, as a play deserves to
be considered and accepted upon that
basis; it is clear, logical, well con-
structed technically, cumulative IN
interest and, as presented by the
present excellent cast, conveys the
thrilling dramatic cry of strong emo
ton. For those who seek an intel
lectual problem, the psychological
element so deftly introduced into this
play, will serve as food for endless
discussion, since the solution is left TO
the mind of the playgoer. However,
l prefer, in this instance to join
with the mass of theatregoers who
enjoy a good drama, not for its OBJ
struse theories, but for its excite
ment, novelty and love interest.
{" The Firing Line should prove
one of the seasons successes, for it
appeals equally to the youth in the
gallery, his romantic young sister in
the balcony and their cultured parents
in the parquet. The cast is competent
in every character

Again In Working Order.

The ice plant of the Parlett & Par
lett Company, Incorporated, which
was put out of commission for few
days by the breaking of cylinder, is
again in operation. During the time
the plant was out of commission the
company had ice expressed to them
daily in order not to disappoint their
customers.
This was done at great expense,
and last Saturday the Parlett & Par
lett Company chartered car to bring
a sufficient supply of ice from Balti-
more at loss of 81 per ton. The
local company paid for the Baltimore
ice exactly what they sell it for here.

Runaway Accident.

Quite a serious accident happened
on Wednesday afternoon on Main
street to driver for the liveryman,
Thomas Dove, West street, and TO the
buggy. The vehicle was totally de-
molished and the driver, w. Hawkins
Philips, colored, was thrown out and
his head very badly cut.
The horse was standing in front of
the store of Ridout Bros, when he
suddenly took fright and ran down
Main street. Had the street been
crowded at the time the result would
have been more serious.

A TRIUMVIRATE OF CLEVERNESS.
Best Attraction Yet at the Colonial
Theatre.

1t is seldom all three bills at the
theatre are good, but this is the case
in the present instance. All three
bills at the Colonial Theatre are above
the average.
Miss Annoe Kent is very clever and
won good favor with the large audi
ence in her songs and her sketch.
Stewart and Earle are good in their
comedy sketch and barring a little
.coarseness the two Frank Fords are ex-
cellent headliners. Their pet French
poodle comes in for share of praise
and applause as the canine who plays
the piano.
The Colonial triumvirate is well
worth seeing tonight.

Good Xylophonist.

The pleasure of hearing the kyle
phone player, Jack Dorm, manipulate
that instrument is worth much more
than the price of admission to the
New Magnet Theatre, Main street.
Mr.. Dorm is wonder and has mas
tered the instrument perfectly. He
is well worth hearing. Don't miss
the bill at the Magnet tonight. Good
pictures and good vaudeville.

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
 GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not Patent Medicines the
 Cause,

New York.-Blame for the prev alence and growth of the morphine habit was placed on the shoulders of physicians, who prescribed the drug, at a meeting of druggists here to- night to protest against the recently enacted city ordinance prohibiting the sale at retail of any preparation con taining morphine or it's salts except upon doctors prescription.
 The ordinance is aimed primarily at paregoric and at stomach remedies, according to members of the board of health who. were instrumental in ob- taining it's passage. Caswell Mayo, one of the druggists, said he had made a canvass by mail of several sanitariums and the replies convinced him 90 per cent. of the victims of drugs formed the habit as a result of using prescriptions given by physi- clans and only 8 per cent. from using proprietary medicines

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

T have suffered from the same trOu- ble (painful finger nails) at different periods of my life The first time of it's occurrence, perhaps twenty-five years ago, after trying home remedies without getting helped, 1 asked my doctor to prescribe for me, but it was not for year or more that my nails and fingers were well. The inflamma- tion and suppuration began at the base of the finger nail. Sometimes it was so painful that 1 had to use a poultiCe to induce suppuration. After the pus was discharged the swelling would go down until the next period of inflammation, possibly not more than week or two afterwards. These frequent infiammations resulted in the loss of the nail. I had sometimes as many as three fingers in this state at one time
 Perhaps ten years later I began again to suffer from the same trouble. Again l tried various remedies, among them prescription from doctor of 8 friend of mine, who had suffered from a like trouble. This seemed to help somewhat for time, but it was not permanent cure; next tried a prescription from my own doctor, but this was so irritating to the sensitive, diseased skin that 1 could not use it. I began to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment I had used the Cuticura Ointment previously on my children's scalps with good effect. I did not use the Soap exclusively, but rubbed the Cuticura Ointment into the base of the nail every night thoroughly, and as often beside as l could. I had not used it but a few weeks before my nails were better, and in a short time they were apparently well. There was no more suppuration, nor infam- nation, the nails grew out clean again. One box of Cuticura Ointment was all that I used in effecting a cure" (Siened) Mrs. I. J. Horton, Katonah, N. Y, Apr. 13, 1910. On Sept. 21, Mrs. Horton wrote: .sI have had no further return of the trouble with my finger nails"

MUST TELL GRAFT STORY
DanviIe Judge Orders Prosecutor to Answer All Questions Put by
 Jury In Bribe Quiz.

Danville, Tl-Judge Kimbrough in the circuit court handed down a de- cision in the case of City Attorney Jones, who declined to answer certain questions regarding vote selling and buying which the grand jury put to him.
 The court instructed Jones to an swer all questions. The opinion stated that, according to decision of the Supreme court of the United States. a witness before the grand jury is immune from indictment. The court also held that the city election law is unconstitutional, which means that Jones cannot be questioned about hap penings more than eighteen months ago
 This means that the investigation will continue until all the witnesses now summoned are examined It is said that many indictments have been voted, but whether they are for vote selling Is not known.

A FEMININE DON TaNCREDO
First Girl Allowed to Act as a Living Statue in Bull
 Ring In Spain.

Madrid, Spain.-Recently for the first time woman has been permit ted to play the dangerous role of Don Tancredo in the bull ring in Spain The person representing Don Tancredo is dressed entirely in white, to appear as much like a statue as possible, and takes his or Gin this easel her place in the center of the arena before the bull is let in.
 Naturally, it is important for the person playing the part of the statue to remain perfectly still It nearly al ways happens that the bull approaches the object, sniffs at it, and finding 1t motionless leaves it without further investigation; Don Tancredo" is safe. The performance is a very risky one. for the least movement of "the statue" would be immediately noted by the bull with disastrous results to the i'm personator.
 Under the late conservative govern ment this spectacle was forbidden. but under the liberal regime it Is once again permitted The young woman who was allowed to enter the ring AS the first feminine Don Tancredo Is Rasario Seville, and she came safely through her dangerous undertaking

TOO MUCH FOR THE CORPSE
ized the Dead" lrshman Into Indignant Life.

Don't be mean in your offerings, - said T. P O'Connor, in plea in New York for the Irish cause. The Irish cant stand meanness.
 No, no; the Irish can't stand mean ness. Take O'Gradys case. You know, in Ireland, some 50 or 70 years ago, when Q poor family lacked a coffin they made the corpse beg for it.
 This custom, alas! sometimes led to imposture. Thus, Thirsty O'Grady and his friends wanted money badly once, and O'Grady was assigned to act the corpse. So they laid him on a bier outside the door and they put pewter plate beside him for the pennies.
 As O'Grady lay there, so still, with closed eyes, an old woman stopped and dropped sixpence into the plate. Then she began to take out change. A penny, tuppence, threepence she took out, and O'Grady couldn't stand such meanness. Corpse as he was, he said:

Careless and Cappy.

We have undertaken to blend in one the best of the two proyerbial conditions-to be careless and happy hairless and cappy. We are now hap py and cappy and frequently careless as well. A pretty figure may be con jured up-a figure in leaf-green satin yelled with rose and silver shot gauge
 The dark hair is covered by sai- lor's cap, point and all, worn flatly over the whole head, the point falling at the back. Instead of being made of scarlet cashmere, it is of the gauge, over silver tissue, and studded with pink and yellow topaz, while 1t is bor- dered with great gray pear-shaped pearls, these, of course, hanging around the back of the neck and over the soft hair in front.

Embryo Man-of-War's Man at Least Convinced Officer He Was At

Suddenly the reserve sang out, Light ahoy!" Where away" asked the officer of the deck. Far, far away replied the would-be man-of- wars man. When the officer had re- covered from the shock occasioned by this unseamanlfke answer he looked over the rail in the direction indicat- ed by the reserves finger, and then he had another fit Whats the matter with you?" growled the officer.
