THE MENACE IN MEXICO.

1t is coming now to be-very gen.
orally recognized that the weakness
Of Huerta constitutes the greatest
danger of breach of the peace with
this country.
Huerta's back is against the wall.
The last evidences of his power are
crumbling away from him. There
never was more than show and form
of that power, and these are passing.
1t is as good as certain that Eperta
could not live through siege and
capture Of the City of Mexico. The
wicked old tyrant would have revolt
on his hands within his capital from
the moment when the volatile masses
of the ignorant populace realized
finally that he was doomed. He would
probably be assassinated before the
city were captured; or if it were
captured, and he with it, it is as GER
tain as anything of the future can be
that he would be dfum-headed
through a trial for treason and exc
cuted with propptness and satisfac-
ton. Satisfaction, it may be added,
that CarEanza and Villa would have
to shaEe with pretty much all decent
people, anywhere. If ever there was
q clear case of treason without pal
lIation or the shadow of justification,
1t was the series of acts that made
'Huerta dictator.
Huerta, then has nothing to hope
for if his capital falls; and it is sure
to fall. His one chance is foreign
complication: and that, Of course,
must be scraped up with the United
States. Doubles he is utterly mis-
taken in the notion that, as against
the Colossus OF the North, all the
people and factions of Mexico would
unite and put up respectable re-
sistance. It is hardly to be believed
that the constitutionalists would
suddenly find deliverer and a legi-
innate ruler in Huerta, merely be-
cause the United States had turned
against him. The constitutionalists
have been so long and assiduously
seeking the good graces and moral
support of Washington, that it is
quite ridiculous to presume that,
once getting just what they have
been seeking, they would reject it
and join with Huerta in opposing our
intervention.
Huerta, however, believes, and
seemingly some of his advisers
agree, that actual intervention in
force by the United States would
unite Mexico behind the present de
facto government. Therefore tire best
thing for Huerta, as his faction
views it, would be our intervention.
That would perhaps save Euerta's
precious neck, for he would have a
chance to fall into the hands of
American soldiers instead CT the
vengeful regiments of Villa. 1t would
even give him a chance to get out of
the country, at last, into exile, with
his pockets lined. 1t would save him
from the humiliation Of being de-
feated and driven out, if not pat to
death, by the forces of CarranZa.
In short, it seens very manifest
mat the natural resort of Huerta in
his desperate plight of this moment
is war With the United States. If
he doesn't find way to provoke it,
we guess it will be because he hasn't
cunning enough, or else because
in our own Government is
too clever to permit him to work

The Potomac Is not very high. but
from the amount of mud in it one would
suppose that a couple Of Virginia coun-
ties and a few Maryland townships are
passing down stream. After a consul
tation with old river men, the weather
man, and the goose-bone prognosticator.
it seems a safe guess to say that the
waters will begin to clear up about the
middle of next week
Were such a period OF idleness forced
on a group of hunters by conditions
over which they had no control, they
would be so restless it would spoil their
tempers; it would drive a crowd of
baseball fans insane; but the true fish
erman Is nothing IL not patient, and
so We bide our time quietly. Though the
disjointed rod lies on the shelf and the
boat tugs vainly at its mooring, the
fisherman takes comfort in the thought
that be 1t late or early, there Is a mo-
in "a xrida ~ az

filmed beauty that has long deied the
lures OF other lines. and he waits for
that moment philosophically.
There Is a group OF fishermen In
Washington that one does not see often
in the bright sunlight that touches the
spray of Little Falls with silver or
stretches. They are mostly colored men
of Old Virginia stock, and they are
born with the instinct to hook a cat
fish. Most OF them work all day, but
at night they gather along the Potomac
at the foot of the Mall, a silent, eau
tious group. and the first peep of
dawn finds them lugs1ng home a good

Enterprise Association.)
I can't help thinking that Bill
Tenney is just like all the other men.
He thinks of himself first of all.
He got tired of his wife-dol, so he
left her, as he supposed, all safe in
her little home and went sailing over
the sea of Irritation with many other
girl-dolls. These, too, he tired of
one after another until he found a
very clever, as well as beautiful girl
doll. He made up his mind that he
would play with her always, but,
alas! she got tired of him and threw
him over for another man. Then he
said to himself: "PH go back to my
little wife-dol that l have safe up in
the little home where l left her" and
to his surprise the wife-doIl also de-
clined to be left alone or played with
at his convenience and mood. She
was going to be some other mans
doll-wife. Then he went about feel
ing very much abused and asking for
sympathy of everypretty girl he met.
This is only a depression, little
book, and perhaps it is not worth
while to keep MoIlie's affairs waiting
longer. She, of course, didn't know
that l was thinking about Bill Ten
ney's living dolls when she told me
what he said to her, and she was
rather indignant when 1 laughed, as
she asked me if he was not in tough
luck.
81 don't think it is a laughing mat
ter" she said.
"Al right, MoIlie, 1 won't laugh" I
answered, although I must confess
1 am not quite able to see Bill Tenney
in the guise of a much-abused man"
We'll" said MoIie staunchly, 81
told him l was awfully sorry for him,
and he said that my sympathy was
the only thing that had made him feel
like living-and then he got me talk
ing about myself, and he was so nice.

Frederiok's s Fourth Safe ana Sane.

Frederick S Fourth Safe and Sane.
Thousands Of persons from Frederick
City and county lined the streets last Sat-
urday morning and witnessed the great
chldrens' demonstration and carnival.
which was planned by the Safe and Sane
Fourth Committee of the local Civic
Club. From the time the church bells
peaed forth at O'Clock in the morning
until the great pyrotechnic display on
Saturday night, there was a continual
program OF events, and instead OF the
old method of celebrating the glorious
Fourth, people witnessed a civilized OBJ
servance aud the grandest and greatest
celebration in the history of Frederick.
Every one entered into the spirit Of
the occasion and the blast OF the danger.
GUS fire cracker was heard at far inter-
walls and with a muffled effect. The
display of fireworks at College Park iu
the evening was witnessed by fully 5000
persons, according to the most conserv-
alive estimates. The display was beau
ilul and wonderful and from the time
that the first piece was set up until the
last display was set, the heavens were
ahre with beautiful aerial pyrotechnics,
the most amazing ever seen in Fred
erck.
In front of the court house a patriotic
program was rendered, which was pre-.
sided over by the Hon. Milton G.. Urner.
Mr.. Urner introduced the speaker, the
Rev. U. G. Rupp, who paid a high
tribute to the observance of the day and
especially according to the safe and
sane" method. After the singing of the
Star Spangled Banner" led by Mr..
Henry F. Anderson, and the salute to
the flag, led by four young ladies, the
prizes donated by the citizens of Fred
erick were awarded.

Stricken in Field on His Own
Farm.

While walking in the harvest field di-
recting his assistants and workmen at
his home, Birmingham" just south of
Frederick, John Frederick Slime, prom
inent farmer and leading dalryman of
Frederick county, on Saturday morning..
July 4th, about O'Clock, was stricken
with neuralgia of the heart. and died
on the field almost instantly. One of the
workmen who saw Mr. Stne as he fell.
rushed to his assistance but he was dead
when the man reached his side. Mr..
Slime was apparently in good health in
the morning, although he had been un-
well some time ago.
For the last quarter of century or
more Mr.. Slime has been engaged in the
dairy business, and it has been estimated
that in the first twenty five that he was
engaged IN this business he handled
about S64, coo worth OF milk and cream.
He had large milk route in Frederick
City, and conducted one of the most up
to date dairies in the county. He owned
one Of the best herds in the county.
Besides his extensive dairy operations
Mr.. Slime was a successful county farmer.
His farm. Birmingham, south o.
Frederick and adjoining Mount Olivef
Cemetery, is in a high state of cultivat
ton, and testiieS to the thoroughness of
his farming methods.

Peach Crop Will Rival the
Wheat.

Like the wheat crop, Frederick
county will have a bumper peach crop
this year, considering the number of
trees and the size of the various or
chards in the county. There will be
an abundant supply of peaches for home
consumption, declared one OF the
county's leading fruit growers recently,
in discussing the value of the crop, and
whether it would be necessary to import
from foreign counties and States to sup
ply the demand in Frederick City and
county.
1t has been estimated that the yield Of
the fruit in this county this year will be
almost ten thousand bushels, which in
cludes the fruit that will be secured by
the farmerssfor their own personal use
from the trees on their own properties.
These peaches raised by the farmers for
home consumption, of course, will not
appear on the Frederick market. In the
mountainous section of the county there
is an unusually heavy yield while there
are also large quantities in the section
surrounding the city.
Hand in hand with the big peach
Weld there is every indication that the
crop of apples will be unusually large
this year. Orchards, where the owners
have taken care to have them sprayed
and treated for diseases, are loaded with
fruit 1t is reported that some orchards
will produce several thousand bushels OF
fruit. The apple crop will be much
larger than the peach yield in the county.

Lightning Kills Negro Woman.

Sitting on her front porch conversing
with her husband and seven small chill
dren, Mrs. Caroline Harder, the wife OF
Thomas Harder, colored, was instantly
killed about $50 O'Clock, on Sunday
evening, July 5th. at Petersville, this
county, when she was struck in the head
by bolt of lightning
Mrs. Harder, who was a middle aged
woman, fell to the floor of the porch.
and although the bolt was plainly visi-
Bile, the husband at first could not rea-
lie what had happened. The woman
was struck on the top of her head and
her hair Immediately took fire. Before
her husband could extingulsh the flames.
her hair had burned almost to the scalp.
