BOOKLET BOoMS' ANNAPOLIS.
W., II. 4 4. Electric Road Gets Ont
Handsome Souvenir.

Under the title of Colonial Annapolis, $
the Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis Electric Railroad Company has
just issued a handsome booklet dealing
with the many interesting places in and
about the Maryland capital. The book
let is artistically arranged, and is in
teresting for its descriptive matter and
many well-chosen illustrations.
Among the places and buildings
pictured are the homes of three of Mary
lands four signers of the Declaration of
Independence. the historic old state
house, erected in ITO; the old Libey
tree, and many quaint old dwellings.
Annapolis undoubtedly is richer in
places of historic interest than most
American cities, and the booklet sets
forth its claims in an effective and
pleasing manner.
The modern side of Annapolis is not
neglected in either the Illustrations or
text Not the least instructive feature
Of the booklet to many is the WELL
written and untechnical description Of
the company's electric lines.

DROPS WORD TELEGRAM" "
Bell Telephone Company Ordered to
Do So by Court.

Following a recent decision by the SUI
preme Court of New York State, requir-
ing the Bell Telephone Company to stop
designating the Western Union Tele-
graph Company by the word telegram
in its telephone directory, the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany, branch of the Bell company, has
dropped the word from its directory.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany is controlled by the same corpora
ton. which owns the Bell Telephone
Company. They were compelled to drop
the word telegram" from their direc-
tory as a result of action brought by the
Postal Telegraph Company some months
ago. The decision Of the New York
court was made on the ground that TO
so designate the Western Union Com
pany was an undue monopoly of trade.

the title, 1.-THE Religious Life OF An
Gent Rome" Houghton Miffiin Com

from the foundation OF the city to the
death Of Gregory the Great. In an Oc-
cidental world, entirely aside from our
specific religious views or our specific
physiological ancestry, we are all of us
the spiritual children of Rome, and
we have turned naturally to that his
tory Of our own past which is written
in the experience of the Eternal City.
Not only in military achievement and
in political relations do we there find Il
textbook. but also in the pulse and tone
OF the masses, so that the study OF re-
ligion brings us close to the springs Of
human conduct. When once we have
recognized the great truth that relig-
ion is a normal and essential part Of
our existence and that the religious
instinct has been the greatest propul-

admirable character. Mr.. Soller, to his
friend, the equally admirable Mr.. Saito;
THE doctor be hanged! What's the
doctor for? I'm not sick; only shaken
I'D a bit" Mr.. Tomita very amiably
explains in his foOtnote that the hasty
expression concerning the doctor is
merely "a very usual exclamation de-
noting evaporation" and that in only
shaken up a Bit Mr.. Soller spoke TO
this purpose: II am only suffering
from being shaken by plunging too vio-
lently into the water, and from striking
my head against stone" Now, these
are the sort Of lessons in polite con-
versation, we hold, which should enable
a young man to get on In the world.
Mr.. Sato says to Mr.. Soller: so long,
old man; I'll be on the lookout for your
phone" Later Mr.. Soller, ringing
up" says: Put me on 1856. please. y
Kato describes Mr.. Soller, who most
unfortunately falls into a swoon. as
such a strong chap, too: as hard as
nails" 1t is so Mr.. Tomita's merry
conversations go. Introductions are
performed, invitations accepted, garden
parties and dinner parties attended
calls made, n days tramp taken and
weddings witnessed. We must declare
that we do not readily recall anything
more delicious in the way of social
comedy since the plays of Oscar Wilde.
