The Georgii girls are well known

when the home was broken up FOL
lowing the trial of their parents last
fall. Later the little house at

burned, leaving them literally home

Within the past few weeks there
have been complaints against both

since by Governor crothers that he favor
ed the adjustment of certain State Offices
and general reduction in governmental
expenses, has not been received with
loud acclaim by the politician class, who
make their living by petty grating.

The Governor advocates the doing
away with useless deputies and forcing all
officials to perform the duties themselves.
He says there are many useless boards
that ought to be done away with and the
expense of their salary lists saved to the
public treasury, declaring that before his
term of Office expires he will point out
very pertinently how she savings he ad
vocates can be effected.

sive republicans.
.'He has presented himself and his adj
ministration as a new menace to public
interest, shown new line of agreement
between himself and the aggressive
money power of Morgan and raised the
progressives to a higher plane of public
usefulness, as the only effective force the
public can absolutely relyaupon to resist
both that power and the president s
efforts to serveit.

slavery must follow the adoption Of the
Aldrich plan. declare the progressives.
Its adoption would place the individual

independent corporation under the super
vision and control Of committee to be
chosen by the money combination.
ut would place in that committee
absolute power to determine which in

lican organ of a scheme to place the
finances OF the country iu almost absolute
control Of the Wall Street gang And
yet the Maryland Bankers Association in

defarious currency scheme.

SECOND SIGHT.
An Apparision That Was Messenger
az Death.


The third Lord Templetown used to
tell Of an extraordinary and really au-
thentic case Of second sight. His
brother. Henry Upton. the second Wis
count, was with his regiment abroad
when he and several brother officers
saw an old friend wearing trousers
and shirt only pass through the mess
room to another room from which
there was no outlet. They followed
and saw nobody, and the sentry per-
sisted that. no person had entered.
Henry Upton wrote to his brother,
afterward third viscount. to request
him to go to their friends lodgings in
London and find out what he was do
ing at such and such an hour on a GER
tain day. The brother in London COM
Piled and found that their friend had
died, but not on the day he had been
seen abroad.
Later the landlady was asked on
oath as to the date and hour Of death
and whether he had died In a white
shirt with blue check. After some
demur she confessed that her lodger
did not die when she first stated, but
on the day when his friends had seen
him pass through the mess room.
1t seems the date Of demise had
been falsified on account of his pen
sion, which was almost all his family
had to depend upon. And he died In
white shirt with blue check, his
landlady having lent one Of her hus-
bands to him on the morning Of his
death.-London Court Journal.

SHE WANTED LIGHT.

Exactly 70 Her Taste.
The architectural feature Of the
new house that caused a decided do
nestle rupture was the windows. The
man was in favor Of medium sized
windows, with small panes to match
the rest Of the house, but his wife in
sisted upon enormous sheets Of plate
glass.
"You are away all day and do not
know whether / can see my hand be-
fore me at noontime or not" she said.
"but / am in the house most Of the
time and must have plenty Of light
and sunshine"
So they had big windows. Before
the carpenter left she ordered inside
shutters put up. The family's first
night in their new home was cele-
brated by adjusting two sets Of win
dow shades, one white, the other dark
green, which served as background
for two pairs Of curtains, one Of silk.
the other Of lace. On the third day
the man helped his wife to hang addi-
tional sash curtains, and on the fourth
day he found man tnkering with the
outside Of the window ledge.
"He is just getting ready to put up
the awnings" she explained.
Her husband looked at the shutters.
the two shades, the two curtains and
the sash curtains and the arrange

The al. 500 rural free delivery carriers
in the United States are to receive salary
increases. An order of Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock provides for the disburse-
ment during the current fiscal year OF
$4,ooo, 900, which will mean an increase
of 500 over the present salary of 5000 for
all carriers on standard routes, with pro-
portionate increases onthe shorter routes.
The increase is due to the desire of the
Postmaster General to compensate the
carriers for any additional burden which
may be placed upon them if the parcels
post system be has recommended is ap-
proved by Congress.
The rural delivery system was started
IS years ago witt So carriers. who were
paid only $500 year each. On July I,
there were Al 500 carriers, their aggregate
salaries being $35,7o3, 600. The system
has been of untold benefit to the rural
communities. which is the primary reason
for its extension by leaps and bonds.

By notice of the Town Commissioners,
as published in this issue, special cleo
ton will be held next Monday to decide
whether Rising Sun shall amend its
charter so as to enable it to install a
water supply and electric light system for
the town and for the uses Of the citizens
and thereby keep abreast of the times
and greatly enhance the value of all pro-
perry within the town limits, as well as
add 10 the convenience Of the residents,
or to continue with the same scant pri.
vate water supply and antiquated kero-
sene lamp lighting.
The additional fire protection to be
afforded by public water supply, it is
estimated will reduce the present insur-
ance rates sufficient to meet the proposed
raise in the tax rate for that purpose
alone, and a further additional raise Of
not over five cents on the hundred dollars
will insure us electric lights for the town
and an opportunity to secure the current
for home and business purposes.
From the expressions of sentiment at
the citizens meeting held last week and
since then on the streets it looks like the
one best bet is that the Sun do move and
we are going to vote to have both.
