COMING LEGISLATURE

AS the time draws near for the
General Assembly of Maryland to
meet it isadmitted by all that the
program marked out for it is the most
comprehensive and sleep-destroying
that any legislature of Maryland has
ever been asked to face. Questions
are asked concerning the men who
will tackle the job.
Independent of personnel, politics
is always of first consideration, and
the answer to the question of politics
is easily answered, for the Democrats
have an overwhelming majority in
both Legislative branches. That
party has more than three-fifths of
both the House of Delegates and SEN
ate of Maryland. AS the Constitution
of the State fixes three-fifths as the
number of votes that must be muster
ed to pass legislation over the veto of
the Governor, this point is regarded
as important at this time from the
fact that the State now has a Repub-
lican Governor.
Moreover, the political considera-
tion is important from the fact that
parties insist that the votes on meas
ures pledged in the party platform
shall be originated by people identi-
fed with the party and passed by
Legislators elected by party votes.
This is little prejudice that always
threatens, and sometimes does work
havoc with good legislation. There is
disposition to get away from it in a
measure-a disposition to take hold
of good things, no matter by whom
originated, but the tendency has not
developed to a point where it is safe
thing to tie to.
Hence the Democrats in the Lccis-
lature will demand their own bills.
Upon the Democrats will rest the re-
sponsibility for passing them in a way
that will meet popular approval.

Traction Engine Case Tried

Frank Burns was arrested and
given a hearing, Monday evening,
before Magistrate Cameron, on a
warrant sworn out by road inspector
Dean, charging him with violating
the law in reference to traction en-
gines running on the stone roads
built by the State Mr.. Burns had
used his own engine to draw up an
other engine from down the Elkton-
Chesapeake City road to the Penn
sylvania R. R., for shipment. Mr..
Dean claimed Burns had injured the
new concrete road just out of Elkton
by running his engine thereon. A
large number of witnesses, however,
swore that the road had not been in
jured and in the face of a mass of
adverse testimony and comment,
States Attorney Constable "threw
up his hands,, withdrawing the
charge.
1t will be a mighty cold day in
midsummer, when our people vote
to convict a traction engine man for
running on the stone roads. As the
Wing has so often said this farming
community wants no road that is
such a "candy kid" affair as that the
farmers are cut off from the needed
service of traction engines. An ag-
ricultural community wants roads
that can be used in needed agricultu-
raj operations, tho some of our road
building people seem to have hard
time to realize this.

DEATHS OF THE WEEK
THOMAS C. BOND.
(Communicated).

(Communicated)
sistant cashier of the Cecil National
Bank of Port Deposit, and son of
the late T. c. Bond, whom he sue
ceeded in the banking business, died
Sunday, after very short illness, at
the Church Home and Infrmary in
Baltimore.
On Tuesday of last week he was
stricken with a very severe attack
of intestinal trouble. On Friday Mr..
Bond was advised by DR.. Richards
and DR.. Benson to be removed to a
hospital and be operated upon. This
he did and was operated on about
midnight Friday.
All day Saturday he lay in very
morning he was operated on again,
but gradually got worse, until he
died about l o'clock.
His body was brought to his home
Monday morning, and funeral SER
vices were held at l o'clock from his
late residence in the country, with
interment at West Nottingham
Cemetery. He is survived by his mo-
ther, six sisters and a brother.
Mr.. Bond was without a doubt one
of the best bankers in this section of
the country. He was executive of
the Port Deposit Relief Association
and it is due to his great interest in
this that there are so few cases of
suffering in our town. During the
great flood of 1910 Mr.. Bond per-
sonally led in the rescue of the wo-
men and children that were caught
in the waters which flooded the
street, and many times risked his life
when taking others out of danger.
After the flood he was put in charge
of the funds that were sent to the
sufferers and distributed the money
wisely.
The whole town of Port Deposit
feels his loss, in losing friend in
many, many ways that cannot be re-
placed.
JAMES H. MACKEY.
Mr.. James H. Mackey, resident of
Trenton, n. j., died at the home of
his son, John c. Mackey, on Monday,
December 10, in the 10th year of his
age, after lingering illness of a
complication of diseases. Mr. Mack
ey's boyhood days were spent near
Rock Church, Cecil county, which
church he attended when boy. In
later life he lived at McClellandville,
Del, where he was engaged in the
carriage making business. He after
wards moved to Trenton, n. j., where
he has since resided. He was early
connected with the Presbyterian
Church, and member of the o. U. A.
NJ, of Newark, Del. Mr.. Mackey was
highly respected by all who knew him
and known for the great hospitality
shown in his home. He is survived by
his wife, Emma Hart Mackey, six
sons and one daughter; also by one
brother, former Sheriff Robert Mack
ey, of Blake.
Funeral services were held at the
home of his son, John c. Mackey, $50
Stuyvesant avenue, Trenton, n j., on
Thursday, December 18, with inter
ment in Titusville Cemetery.

Charity Without Pauperism.

A great defect Of many charitable
schemes is their tendency to pauper-
ize the beneficiaries. This is over
come by one of the methods adopted
by the Robert Browning settlement at
Vealworth, which supplies boots to
poor children. The footgear is hand
ed over in return for the payment by
the parents of small weekly rent"
until the retail price has been covered.
After the final payment the boots
still remain the property of the settle
ment, without whose permission they
can neither be sold nor pawned.-

CHAPTER XVII.
Opposite the Cathedral


Fifth avenue at two o'clock in the
morning is fast asleep. There are To-
calities in New York which are more
widely awake at that hour than at
any other time Of day, but the high
way of fashion Is not one Of them:
and In the neighborhood of Fiftieth
street. Its repose Is as profound as at
any point of its long, undeviatingly
straight course.
For over an hour ! had waited In
that sumptuous white marble club edi-
flee of the plutocrats which ostepta-
tiously punctuates the avenue at Six
tieth street. and. tired Of sitting, nerv-
GUS and disappointed, l had chosen to
walk down to my rooms, believing
that the exercise In the clear. frosty
air would serve to counteract. in a
measure at least, all three of these
vexations.
To the limit Of sight there stretched
away double. converging chain of
twin lights marking the curb line for
endless blocks. and illuminating the
nearer sidewalk and roadway. II not
to effulgence, certainly with a clearly
met quick-stepping pedestrian, usu-
ally In evening dress with cigar alight:
and at more or less brief intervals
limousined motors and taxicabs with
cleaning lamps sped by me at top
speed. Once hanson passed the
hoof-beats Of the hard-driven horse re-
sounding jarringly against the night
silence.
At Fifty-fourth street cut diagonal
ly across the avenue to the west side.
and. continuing my way southwark,
absorbed in the problems confronting
me. had been for little quite lost to
encompassing objects. Then, sudden
ly. fearing lest in my abstraction l
should pass the street on which my
rooms were located, l aroused myself
to get an idea OF my location.
Across the way the grim facade of
the Cathedral rising dark and sullen
as fortress made all clear. But. on
my own side of the avenue there had
been no such distinguishing mark. The
brown stone dwellings, monotonously
ugly, with their high stoops and balus-
traded areas, were no more enlighten-
ing than the stone Tagging Of the side
walk or the asphalt Of the roadway.
Scores of blocks presented practically
the same aspect as this. But as with
critical gaze measured one after an
'other of these combinations l was all
at once arrested by sight of a tall,
bent figure clutching the high iron rail

1t was now my turn to be thought
full. Evelyn believed in the woman'f
ability to aid She had said as much
to me. And myself possessed Ger
tain degree of faith in feminine intui'
ton. Aside from that. though, Miss
Clement had demonstrated that she

personality proclaimed inherent ca
pacity for accomplishment

Sunday was with me day OF i'm
patience l fretted now at conf1ne-
ment, for my ankle was quite strong
again, and l was perfectly well in
other respects. too. But my physician
had set Monday for my first day out.
and he refused to concede even a
twenty-four-hou change Of plan. But
I chafed more even at the inactivity
to which l had agreed concerning
Cameron than at the confinement. All
at once, had become imbued with a
necessity for prompt and strenuous
measures. Some awful thing, l knew
not what, seemed ominously immi-
nent, and remorse tore at me torment
1ngly.
Early Monday, telephoned Miss
Clement for tidings Of her progress,
but she could only implore me to wait.
She had nothing to report. but che
was encouraged. With my hands thus
tied diversion was my only refuge, and
an accumulation OF office work into
which l plunged served, in part at
least, this purpose.
Evelyn and Mrs. Lancaster had
come in from Greenwich and opened
the Cameron town house, great
white granite Renaissance affair, on
upper Fifth avenue, facing the park;
and because the girl had made me
promise, lunched there; but l went
with less grace than ever before. un-
certain as l was OF my self-control.
Eyelyn's faith in Miss Clement, how
ever, was contagious. She spoke OF
little else, and when l came away 1t
was with strengthened hope OF speedy
results.
1t is my habit to glance over the
earlier editions of all the evening pa
pers before leaving my office. and lat
er, either on the train to Greenwich
or. when in town, at my club. to read
more carefully the later issues OF the
News and Star. On this particular
day, however, a succession Of matters
of more importance prevented my
looking at so much as headline, un-
til, seated at dinner, in the club res
taurant, I saw on window ledge De-
side me one OF the more sensational
of the afternoon dailies, and appro-
priated it in lieu of better companion
