Editor of Evening Capital:
l am indeed very glad to see that
movement has been started by
the Evening Capital and the Tax
payers League for Anne Arundel
County for the betterment of condi-
tions at our Aims House or County
Home / am sure that it is not before
time, as the bad management of the
HON has formed a subject of public
gossip for several years past.
am sure that our hearts bleed
when we think of all the terrible
things that have been carried on
there, and yet the county has been
paying thousands of dollars every
year to make those old people COM
Portable.
l also think that he big dinners
that have been served there to the
board of trustees when they meet
every month, is nothing more nor
less than a public disgrace. These
dim srs are paid for cut OF our taxes
and yet lots of our property owne RS
are too poor to be able to pay the
large taxes that are levied upon
them.
Let all join hands in helping tc
change these bad conditions, and LEI
us all try to elect honest and consci-
entious men to fill these public offices,
God bless the Evening Capital and
the Taxpayers League, and | am
glad that we still have such splendid
citizens as Mr.. Fart for its presi
dent and Mr.. Hallam Claude for its
counsel. DAILY READER.

probation at 6 per cent, S45O,OO0, and
annual overhaul, $4,000, with $275,-

This is a better return than most
railroads can show. But obviously the
Germans, from their practical knowl-
edge of the Atlantic shipping business,
worked out the problem to their own
satisfaction long before they laid the
keel of the Imperator, for two more
steamships of even slightly greater
tonnage are to follow. Presumably
they are not running steamship lines
for their health, and from their past
success with passenger vessels they
know exactly what they are doing in
their latest enterprise.

WEST VIRGINIA SELF-CONyICTED

From The New York WORLDLY
1t took the senate committee in
West Virginia only two days to dis
cover that citizens of that state have
been tried and convicted in violation
of the Constitution and laws of the
United States" The proof is conclu-
sive
A strike being in progress, a mill
tary zone was created and subjected
to martial law. Arrests were made
without warrant The drum-head
trials were without juries. Seized or
abducted wherever they might be,
men were arraigned singly or in
groups, verdicts were given secretly,
some of them carrying penitenuary
sentences of three, four, five and sew
en- years with no right of appeal.
During all the time that this tyran-
ny was in progress, more than one
year, the civil courts of the district
were open, but ignored. 1t was sim
ply assumed by the Governor that
were not competant, and his dictum.
fully sustained by the Supreme Court
of the State, superseded the civil law.
To add to the despotism of the situ-
alton, the military held up the mails
and in many cases opened and des-
troyed private letters.
On the allegation that West Virginia
does not have a republican form of
government Senator Borad properly
says that mo more evidence is need
ed" The World reached the same
conclusion fortnight ago when it
reviewed the decisions of the States
highest Court sustaining the absolu-
tism. Those judgments are the bold
est assertions of autocratic power ever
recorded in the United States. They
shamelessly proclaimed and justified
the subversion Of State.
AS a matter of form it was neces-
sary that a committee should hear
witnesses in West Virginia, but the
utterances of this Court in themselves
made a complete case against the
whole conspiracy. What the Bench
thought would be a vindication OF
government and mine owners and
military has become an Indictment of
the Governor and all his agents, the
Judiciary itself sharing responsibility
for their offenses against a free peo-
pie.

HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL! -. -. -. -.

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
d. tons may spell success or fail
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
The quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has a high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
of its readers. ..,
The most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label--that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu.
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
The combination OF manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum OF satisfac
ton TO the purchaser"

WILL THE IMPERATOR PAY?
New York World.)

How can a great steamship like the
Imperator, costing probably $7,5O0,O00
all told, in which size and luxurious
appointments rather than the highest
speed are prime considerations, be
made to pay as commercial in
vestment?
The London Times has worked out
the problem with satisfactory results,
If Atlantic liners always ran with q
full complement OF passengers at full
rates, it says. the profits from the Inn
perator would be truly magnificent.
Assuming the highest gross earnings
of one voyage from passage money,
mails and freight to be $S50,000 and
the lowest $4,000, with the cost of
running the ship at 100000. it is es-
timated there would be handsome re-
turn on the capital. With net earnings
OF only $125,00O per voyage during the
season and $4,000 during the nom
seaeon the average would be $S7, 500.
A three week itinerary and the allow
ance OF one month year for over
hauling the ship would give margin

SOME NOTED MURDERS
Arsenic FavOrite Poison of Criminals
in Earlier Centuries
(London Chronicle.)

(London Chronicle)
Some notorious cases of murder by
arsenic were recalled by DR.. F. NJ San
dwich, Gresham professor in physics,
in the third of his series of lectures on
drugs at the City of London School,
Victoria embankment.
A grim romance hung over the very
word arsenic" he said, and it had
been associated with cruel tragedies in
olden as well as in our own times. OPP
ium was the favorite drug of suicides
and arsenic of murderers. The reason
in the case of the suicide was probably
because opium was less painful and
more rapid in its effect than arsenic.
In almost every 4nstance arsenic had
been the agent employed by those hui
man fiends who having disposed of one
victim without arousing suspicion, APP
peared to develop a lust for murder
which was not satisfied until the very
number of their victims stood as over
whelming evidence against them.
! The lecturer referred to the case OF
the Marchioness de Bringvillers, VIII
lived in the time of Louis XIV and stud
led the effects of arsenical poisoning
by giving poisoned sweets to the poor
in the hospitals. She afterwards pois-
oned her father and two brothers.
Another woman at the beginning OF
the eighteenth century poisoned more
than 600 persons, while third in more
modern times disposed of 10, including
her three children, two husbands, and
an intended third.
Henrietta Robinson was convicted in
1888 of the murder of her son by ar
anic, and when the bodies of eight 9TH
er members of her family and servants
were exhumed the same poison was
found in all of them but two Twenty
four cases of poison by means of fly
papers were recorded.
~Fomicidal poisoning by arsenic was
declining to a great extent owing 70
the rigid restrictions imposed on the
sale of poisons and the publicity in the
newspapers of murder cases. Such pub
licity in the newspapers of murder
cases. Such publicity gave person OF
criminal tendency wholesale fear OF
detection and a sense of insecurity in
the face of the growing science of tox-
Zoology. which was bringing to the
light OF positive knowledge that which
in the past could only be a matter of
conjecture or suspicion.
In an earlier part OF the lecture DR..
Sandwich referred to the beneficial eff
fects OF the three modern arsenical
remedies atoxyi, soamin, and salvar-
san.

IN the South during the summer of
clothing made of cotton. At the fair
last fall he succeeded in pledging $50
Spartenburg men to buy suits made of
cloth woven at Spartenburg from home
grown cotton, provided the suits could
De made satisfactorily. Mr.. Alexander
has now sent bolt of Bedfort cord
cloth manufactured by a Spartenburg
mill to shrinking plant in the North.
AS soon as this is shrunk it will be
returned to Spartenburg and a tailor
Will make a $3.50 suit for Mr.. Alex
ander. The suit will be worn and
submitted to shrinking test. If it
stands the test all right cloth will be
ordered for the other 349 suits, and
Spartenburg will be wearing not only
homemade, but homegrown suits.
The Charlotte Chronicle regards Mr..
AIeXander's idea as a most excellent
one. 1t says:
why should not the men of the
South wear clothes manufactured from
cotton in summer? Why should not
farmers of the entire South, for in
stance wear cool, comfortable cotton
clothes during this season? Why
should not the laborers of this section
in the city and in the country wear
cotton overalls and khaki suits in
stead of cheap wooden stuff? The pros
perity of the South depends largely
upon the cotton-growing and cotton
manufacturing industry, not only be-
cause of the number of people en-
ployed in that industry, but because of
the interdependence of all industries
in this day of complex business and
social relationships If all the men of
the South would wear cotton goods in
summer there would be a considerable
increase in the consumption of cotton
goods at home and industry would be
stimulated and helped just that much.

WHO INVENTED WINE
Erudite Article Containing Wealth OF
Information ON This Topic.
Charleston Evening Post.)

In the Bible Genesis tx, 2O-2D it is
stated, And Noah began to be a hus-
bandman, and he planted vineyard:
and he drank of the wine, and was
drunken" This is generally held to be
an account of the discovery of wine
making, says the Rehobeth Sunday
Herald, but if so we are forced to go to
the Bablonian for the origin of this
popular drink Noah was not He
brew, but is found under another name.
Pir-Napishtim, in the famous Babylon
ian Nimrod Epic, the great poem de-
scribing the origin of the world al
the Deluge, as known to the Baby
lonians. 1t is now generally known that
the Deluge story, including Noah, OF
course. was borrowed from Babylon
ians by the Hebrews, either when Abra
ham emigrated from 'Ur of the Chal-
dees" (Babylonia) or in later times,
when the Hebrews were native in
Babylonia, after the destruction OF
Solomon's temple.
| This being the case, the invention OF
wine is carried back to at least 5000
years B. c., even if it was not known
by other races before that time. Grapes
grew wild before they wer- cultivated,
and savage tribes, knowing nothing o.
agriculture, made wine from wild
grapes, so as soon as there were
grapes and men probably wine was in
vented, for it is only the juice Of the
grapes fermented
Upon a clay tablet, inscribed with
the ancient cuneiform. or wedge-shap-
ed characters, we have a list of differ
ent kinds of wine used by the Baby
lonians, and it speaks of shepherd $
wine, Syrian wine, sweet wine, and
carrob wine The Assyrians did not
pour their wine, into the cups from
jars or bottles, but dipped the cups in
to the larger vessel, as may be seen
from some of the pictures.
The ancient Egyptians were experts
in winemaking, for on the tomb wall
are pictures of the entire process OF
winemaking, from the treading out of
the grapes to the bottling.
Even the old Hittites, greatest puz-
zle of the scholars, whose writings
have not yet been satisfactorily read,
were one of the most ancient races OF
Western Asia, for Abraham bought the
cave of Machpelah from the Hittites,
and that was more than 1000 years
ago. Among them even the women
drank wine, as may be seen from 4
picture in which two women appear
toasting each other it what can
hardly be tea, for it is not probable
that China or Japan were then in COM
munication with the land of the Hit
tites, even though these warriors wear
pigtails and for this reason are sup
posed to have originated from Mon
golian stock. In fact, we have pic
ture of wine divinity of the Hittites in
a figure far more interesting than
beautiful, but instructive for all that,
that is the predecessor of the Greek
and Roman Bacchus by many centur-
les.
