Representative Metz Sets Fast
Pace For StenCgraphCrs.

Representative Herman A. Metz,
former Comptroller of New York,
claims to be the fastest talker in
the new House. He matched his
flow of language today with the
lightning pen of the official report
ers, and fell down on, the predic-
ton that the expert shorthand men
could not 'take'' him.
Mr.. Metz's maiden speech oc-
Cured during the debate on the
chemical schedule Of the tariff bill.
He talked at an average speed of
24O words a minute. Fred" Ire
land, dean of the official reporters,
was doing his turn when the New
Yorker arose. Ireland "got" the
speech and noted with satisfaction
that the transcript was practically
unchanged when presented to Mr..
Mentz for revision. Later in the
day others of the House ste
geographic corps tackled the fast
talking Metz, and claim to have had
little trouble.-Washin Cores

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
Large Crowds In Attendance Up
on All The Sessions, Which Are
Interesting And Inspiring.

Yesterday afternoons session of
the Dorchester County Sunday
School Association was largely at
tended, and was greatly enjoyed by
Ill. DR.. c. H. Woolston's talk to
the school children was not only of
interest to them, but to the grown
up folks as well, and was brim-ful
of useful information, founded, not
only upon theory, but upon practical
facts. Again in the evening this
gentleman's talk was a fruitful
source of inspiration and character
All of the speakers were interesting,
and their subjects ably discussed,
put the force and vigor of the re-
mraks of DR.. Woolston appealed
alike to old and young.
The parade was not so large last
evening as a year ago, as at that
time so many persons had difficulty
in getting into the church that
this year the public looked out for
their own convenience and comfort
first.

A Lecture Tuesday Night.

Five thousand people listened to
DR.. H. NJ. Wharton's lecture last
night in the Wigwam. His subject
was ga Horseback Ride Through
PALESTINE The lecture was inter-
spersed with many rich anecdotes,
and the audience had hardly recov-
cred from the effects of one when
he had them convulsed with an
other. His description of places
and things, and his word painting
of scenes was magnificent, his
flights of oratory sublime. He has
certainly won the hearts of the
people of Birmingham, and may rest
assured of an enthusiastic greeting
when he comes again.-Birmingham

We wish to add our recommen-
dation to that Of the committees of
former Grand Juries, that the sys-
tenn of out-pensions should be abol-
ished, and instead of paying to the
few unfortunates who receive this
assistance they should be main
tanned at this institution.
We finally recommend change
in the method of the county in con-
Quoting this institution; that it
should be leased as a farm, for SO
much money rent, and that the les
see should assume the obligation of
supporting the inmates under the
supervision of the County Commits
sioners.

.SHANGHA||NG IS SUPPRESSED
Redfield Says Chesapeake Bay Con-
ditions are Vastly Improved.

Washington. April 30 That
conditions as to the treatment of
sailors in the Chesapeake Bay are
vastly improved is indicated in a
statement issued today by Secretary
OF Commerce William C. Redfield.
The Secretary announces that the
practice of shanghaiing and of ILL
treating crews by the masters and
owners Of oyster craft in Maryland
waters has been practically ended
through a strict enforcement of the
navigation laws by the Department
OF Commerce.
Much of this work was done by
A. Lincoln Dryden, of Crisfield, Md,
who was employed by the Govern
ment to police the bay and to
cruise among the oystermen along
the Maryland, Virginia and North
Carolina coasts.
In his statement today Secretary
Redfield said:
1.-THE Department of Commerce is
in receipt of report from the
Bureau of Navigation showing the
results accomplished in enforcing
the motorboat and other navigation
laws through the work of the mo-
torboat Tarragon, from the time OF
its going into commission. on July
1. 1912, up to March Is, last.
Notwithstanding the fact that
practically three months were lost
in repairing and refitting the Tar
ragon for her winters work, 4,905
miles were travelled, 1872 vessels
overhauled, and 495 violations of
the navigation laws reported"

Report Of the Grand Jurq

The Grand Jury completed its in
vestigations Thursday afternoon, and
was discharged.
To the Honorable, the Judges of
the Circuit Court for Dorchester
County Maryland:
The Grand Inquest of the State
of Maryland, for~Dorchester county,
in session assembled, this 1st day
of May. 1913, beg leave to make
this our report, to your Honorable
Body:
We have been in session four
days, have examined los witnesses
considered SO cases, and found Fl
true bills.
AS a part of our duties, we visit
ed the county Jail in a body, and
found the premises in an exception
ally clean and neat condition, and
the grounds about the jail nicely
kept.
For this county property we
recommend the following: That
electric l'ohts should be installed at
once; the front steps should be
repaired the windows equipped with
cords and weights. The present
condition of the Jail is menace
to the officers who have charge of
the premises.
The Court House and grounds
we found in splendid condition and
faultlessly kept. We urge the fol-
lowing recommendation for the
Court House Building: Steam
heat should be placed in the build
ing; an extension back of the vault
of the clerks office, two stories
high, should be built; spiral stair
way to the tower should be INSTALL
ed so that it can be used.

The Printing Office Towel

When 1 think of the towel,
The old-fashioned towel,
That used to hang up near the
printinghouse door,
I can think of nobody,
In these days of shoddy,
That could hammer out iron to
wear as it wore.
The "devil' who used it,
The tramp who abused it,
The comp" who got at it when
these two were gone,
The makeup and foreman,
The editor (poor MANI,
Each rubbed some CRIME off while
they put a heap on.
In, over, and under,
1t was blacker than thunder,
Harder than poverty, rougher than
sin;
On the roller suspended,
1t never was Bonded,
And tapped on the wall like ban
iner OF tin.
1t grew harder and rougher.
And blacker and tougher,
And daily took on a more mixer
hue,
Until one windy morning,
Without any warning,
1t fell to the floor and was brok-
en- in two.

Almshouse Report.

We, the committee appointed by
the foreman of the Grand Jury, of
the April term of the Circuit Court
for Dorchester county, 1913,to visit
and inspect the Almshouse property,
having visited and inspected the
same, respectfully submit the follow
ing report:
We found all the buildings in
fair condition but recommend that
said buildings should be surveyed
for the purpose of giving them all
a careful examination, and that they
should be repaired in a thorough
manner as the piece-meal system
of repairing does not seem to ac-
complish the purpose of keeping the
buildings in presentable and
commodious appearance.
We found three colored men and
four colored women, and three white
women and six white men, total
of 16 persons, who seem to be we'll
cared for, there being no complaint
reported by any of them to your
committee.
We found about forty-six acres of
growing wheat, which, from appear
ances, promise a good yield; forty
acres in timothy, which is looking
very we'll. We recommend the use
of more land in the growing of
grain and grass for hay upon this

CdE went out in the street with
y her little tin pail, on an err
rand for her overworked and
underfed mother.
She herself was overworked and
underfed; she had never in all
her nine years known satisfied
appetite.
She had been thinking, as she
walked along, how wonderful life
must be to those people she saw
driving about in great motor cars;
wearing just such rich garments
as she saw displayed in shop win
dows when she passed the big
shops
She had never known the COM
fort of really warm clothes any
winter since she could remember.
1t had seemed to her that morn
ing that she and her mother and
all the other children in the family
were the most miserable creatures
in the world.

Then she CHANGED to look right
into the face of the tired old horse
who stood beside the curb, while
his driver refreshed himself in a
nearby saloon.
The horse had been dragging an
enormous load from. nobody
knows where, for nobody knows
how many weary miles.
He stood with bowed and de-
jected head, breathing hard, while
he rested for a few moments, be-
fore his driver returned to urge
him on.
The heart OF the little girl
swelled with a sudden feeling of
comradeship.
The heaven born emotion of
sympathy took possession of her
and drove out self-pity.
She slipped her thin arm about
the long nose Of the old horse,
and pressed her cheek close TO his.

That Willow TWig
BY EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN

~ will you please explain
whether by taking a fork
* ed willow twig in the
hands and walking over a field
underground springs of water
can be discovered?"
A. During years I have al
ways refused to answer this con-
stantly repeated question, think
ing 1t to be on a level with as
trology, turning a loaf of bread on
its top, seeing the moon over the
left shoulder, or of planting po-
tatoes in the moon. But now q
meeting of men interested has
been held, testimony has been
given to this council. and It is a
fact that a willow, hazel. beech,
holly, any twig sometimes, wire,
and in one case, an extended
watchspring, will turn in more
cases than those that fall.
These turned and in a great
number of instances water was
found straight below. If it Is a
fact that in the great majority of
trials water was found, then 1t is
scientific-that is, it is a law.
Here are explanations from re-
mote centuries until now: First
in number Of so-calledsexplana-
lions is spiritism; the action of
''familiars; Jim, mystical dis
carnate beings, doubles, guardian

the bag stay on, and almost choke
you, long after you are all through
eating.
and you are so good. and so
ready to do all you can, poor old
horsey. | just want you to know
that I understand all about il;
and that am sorry for you. And
l am saying little prayer for
you; and hope you won't have
bad man driving you to-day; and
that you will get more to eat than
ever before; and that you will
somehow know that q tired little
girl who never had quite enough
to eat in her life wishes she could
put you in a great big field such
as she saw once when the Fresh
Air Folks took her into the coun-
try; and that she could let you
stay there forever and forever,
and that she could stay there
with you.
Now, goodbye, old horsey."
Then she picked up her pail and
passed on.
And the driver came out Of the
saloon and said Get up" and the
old horse moved stiffly on.
But into the air of the street
had gone a vibration of divine
sympathy, making the whole bet
ter.
For just as the wireless mes
sage goes out upon the air waves,
and vibrates on and on, until re-
corded at wireless stations, so
every impulse and thought of hui
man hearts goes on until received
at some other heart station.
Unconsciously the little girl had
made the world better. and in
creased the foundation of SYM
pathy by her impulsive action.
