Summary of Courts
Tobacco Case Decision

The Tobacco trust decision is char.
actorized by Attorney General Wick
ersham as 2 most comprehensive
and sweeping victory for tho govern

The trust is held to be a combi-
nation in restraint of trade-a mon
opoly in violation Of law.
The decision affects sixty five
American corporations, two English
corporations and twenty nine indi-
vidual defendants
An opportunity is given the trust

The trust is held to have been
guilty of intimidation and clearly to
have shown purpose to stile COM
petition.
Chief Justice White announced the
decision, which was practically unan-
imous, although Justice Harlan dis
sented on several points.
AS in the Standard Oil case, JUS
tice Harlan reseuts the application
of the "rule of reason to the Sher~

Health Officer Raps.

AS a result of an article which was
published in the local papers on July
2oth, City Health Officer, DIR. Ira 7.
McCnrdy, has sent the following COM
munication to the local press. The ar
ticle referred to was on the result of an
examination by the State Health De-
partment of sample of water from
Lakin's spring, which was sent in by
Mr.. Lewis A. Rice, member of the
Board of Aldermen. DR.. McCurdy takes
exception TO the article on the grounds
that it is injurious to the city. Informa-
tion on this subject he says, should
come from the City Health Officer.
He also said that he was of the opin-
ion that such articles should not be pub
lished as he thinks that il might do the
city some injury. DIR. McCurdy said
at that time that Lakin.s Spring was
being used TO furnish water, there was
nothing else to be done In regard to
boiling water, it has been urged by him
for number of years past that this
should be done. There is no more rea-
son for 1t now than in former years.
The letteris as follows:
st is again advised to boil the water;
however, not that the water is any more
polluted, than it has been for years or
that there is any infection by germs Of
any communicable diseases present, but
simply as a precautionary measure. 1t
is regrettable that the papers of this city
published an article lately in their col
umns, relative to our water, for such
publications do much harm to any city.
The papers would do well to have such
damaging articles verified from the
proper sources before publishing, and
especially so when the damaging results
of erroneous publications are so far
reaching in their effect 1t is highly
necessary to the integral welfare of our
city, that before publishing any article
which reflects upon any of the vitals of
our municipality, that the papers should
sift the matter and have the article thor
oughly investigated. The article re-
ferred to was not created by a compe-
tent investigator and was unscrupulously
misguiding"

young Lady Badly Burned

Miss Isabel Boyer, OF New Market,
made a narrow escape from being SER
iously burned few days ago.
While making fire for breakfast piece
of paper was lying on the floor after she
had made the fire. She thought that
she had picked 1t up, and placed it in
the stove. But it is supposed that the
paper ignited and fell on the floor with
out her knowledge. The flames caught
to her clothing.
She ran out into the yard and screamed
for help and fell to the ground. Rolling
over and over she tried to extinguish the
fire. Clarence and Dorsey Stevens, who
were in the adjoining yard, hearing her
screams, ran TO her rescue. Clarence
Ste vens, who was about to wash a
buggy. took the bucket of water and
threw 1t on the flames and extinguished
them.

Takes Her Own Life.

Mrs. Mary E. Keller, wife of ].
Helsley Keller, well known druggist,
o. this city, died on Monday night,
the 18th INST, about Q. 40 p. M, from the
effects of dose of carbolic acid. taken
with suicidal intent, Mr.. and Mrs.
Keller have been living at the home
of Mrs. Keller's sister, Mrs. Harry
Miller, North Market street. for some
time past.
For some years Mrs. Keller has been
in very poor health, and some time ago
she was sent to hospital for treatment.
However, her health did not improve
and it is thought that it was worry over
her condition that caused her to end
her life. The details of the act are
lacking. Mrs. Miller discovered her
sisters condition and rushed from the
house to summon aid.
Several employees of barber shop
near by came to her aid, and one Of
them summoned DIR. Robert Tyson,
while the other went for Dr. Keller,
who was still at his drug store. Anti
dotes were given in an effort to coun-
teract the effects of the poison. but to
no avail. She died before the physician
arrived.
Justice Of the Peace John Francis
Smith was notified of the death and
viewed the remains. 1t was decided
that an inquest was unnecessary. After
hearing the report of the physician, he
rendered verdict of self-inflicted death
from the effects of carbolic acid.
Mrs Keller was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Stull, of Frederick.
She was member of the Lutheran
Church and for a number of years
taught in the Sunday School Of that
church.
Besides her husband and her parents,
she is survived by number of brothers
and sisters.

BITS OF WISDOM.

There is no secret OF success but hard
work.
The mind of a good man is kingdom
to him and he can always enjoy it
Many run after felicity like man
hunting forshis hat; while it is on his
head
Take pleasure in your work. A task
which appears distasteful at first sight
soon becomes a pleasure.
Endurance is more valuable than clev-
erness. 1t is the patient, steady plodders
who gam and keep fortunes.
When benlgnity and gentleness reign
within we are in the least danger from
without; every person and every occur
renee is beheld in the most favorable
light.
A graceful behavior towards others
is a constant source of pleasure; il
pleases others because it indicates re,
spect tor their personality, and it gives
tenfold more pleasure to ourselves.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1911-08-18
DEAD FAILURES.

The reason that we have so many
dead failures is that parents decide for
children what they shall do, or children
themselves wrought on by some whim
or fancy, decide for themselves. So we
have now in pulpits men making SER
mons who ought to be in blacksmith
shops making plowshares, and we have
in the law those who instead OF running
the cases of their clients ought to be
pounding shoe lasts, and doctors who
are the worst hindrances to their pa
tents convalescence, and artists trying
to paint landscapes who ought TO be
whltewashing board fences. While there
are others making bricks who ought to
be remodeling constitutions, or showing
planes who ought to be Transforming
literature.
There are children who very early
develop natural affinities for certain
styles of work. When the father of the
famous astronomer Forbes was going
to London he asked his children what
present he should bring each one of
them. The boy who was to be an as
tronomer at once cried out: Bring me
telescope" And there are children
whom you will find by themselves and
drawing on their states or on paper,
ships or houses or birds, and YOU know
that they are to be craftsmen or artists
OF some kind. And you find others ci-
pherlng out difficult problems with rare
interest and success, and you know that
they are to be mathematicians. And
Others are making wheels and strange
contrivances, and you know that they
are going to be machinists. And then
there are others who are found expert
mehting with the hoe, and the plow and
the sickle, and then you know that they
will be farmers And others are always
swapping jack knives. or balls. or bats
and making something by the bargain
and then we know that they are going
to be merchants.
