But in Mexico It Is different. Not
that the legal formalities are lacking
far from it-but the whole theory Of
mines and mining Is different. In Mex

ernment giving the concessionnalre

ground and to hold 1t as long as he
pays a mining tax Of three dollars an

Frank E. Thomas. who for some time
past, has figured repeatedly i'll the
courts, upon charges made by insurance
companies, and from which he has
generally succeeded in emerging with
fyng colors, made his last stand on
Monday, March 23rd, when the Court
ordered brought forward case against
him during the February term of Court,
in 1900, in which Thomas was accused of
securing possession of $IsS by embez-
Element AT the time Thomas pleaded
guilty to the charge against him, and
sentence was suspended by the Court,
Thomas was ordered arrested by the
Court on Monday, and the old charge
was brought forward, and this step being
one that is very rarely taken and only
when the person granted his freedom has
become involved in other acts OF Grim
iual nature While Thomas has never
been convicted of any crime since that
time, yet he has frequently been arrested
and various charges made against him.

the $I3S, but this had not been paid as
Judge Worthington had letter from the
company from which the money was EN-

School Children to Demonstrate
Work

Frederick county school children will
probably give public demonstration in
the form of a parade in Frederick during
the month of May. The School Board
of the county will name the date at its
next monthly meeting.
The plan for the parade was devised
by the State Board OF Education, because
it was thought that demonstration of
this kind would rouse more interest in
education and I'm the public school sys-
tenn. 1t had been intended TO have a
similar demonstration last fall, but the
plan did not materialize. Several similar
demonstrations were held in various
cities of the State last fall, but the disa
greeable weather prevented anything like
a success. For this reason it was decided
to hold the events in April and May.
There will be examples Of work by the
pupils sent from every school In the
county and placed on exhibition in the
auditorium OF the Girls High School.
Governor Goldsborough has desig-
mated Friday, April 3rd, as Arbor Day.
Special programs will be rendered in the
county schools.

tcrs of the American Revolution is pre-

Governor Phillips Lee Goldsborough and
his staff comes to Frederick to partic-
ipate in the dedication OF Company AS

occurred to Mayor Fraley are carried
out, the affair will be not far less in
splendor than Presidential Inauguration
in Washington.
Let all of the fraternal organizations,
societies, High School Cadets, Boy
Scouts and Steam Fire Engine Com
panies turn out in one grand demonstra-
ton 70 welcome the Governor to Fred
erick on that day." said Mayor Fraley
recently. "The Frederick people will
show the Chief Executive of the State
and State officials, the true meaning Of
Maryland hospitality" continued the
Mayor, as he enlarged upon the plan.
The Mayors idea is to have a huge
delegation meet the Governors special
tram as it steams into Frederick on the
morning of April I4th, and to escort the
Chief Executive of the State and his
staff and the visitors to the headquarters,
amid strains of music from brass bands.
The Mayor wants the public to assist in
this movement to make April I4th an
event in Frederck's public life.

Nearly a Record For Convictions.

NCdIly ~ 1bSCOIQ pO1 OOuNlSIAOAS'
Forty-two convictions out of forty
seven prosecutions is the remarkable
record established by States Attorney
Samuel V. Lewis for the February term
of court. Only FIVE succeeded in proving
to the satisfaction of the court and the
Jury that they were innocent Of the
crimes charged against them.
The court took occasion at the close of
the criminal docket last week, to COM
ment. on the remarkably big number of
convictions.
Almost all Of the cases were hard
fought by the attorneys for the defense.
In some of them, the defendants were
found guilty of lesser offences than the
ones charged but these were very few.
Notable among all of these cases was
that of old Uncle Jim Ogle, an aged ne
gro, who has baffled the courts, prose-
cutors and juries for several years. and
who has brought to naught all at
tempts to fasten the guilt upon him. Jim
was found guilty in the February term
and sentenced to do time in the penlten-
tiary,

and acquittals as they appear in the

Comet Seen on Saturday Night.

A real comet, much more brilliant than
Halley's of few years ago, was plainly
visible in Frederick county on Saturday
evening, March 2Ist, from about 7.45 to
Q. 40 O'Clock There have not been any
recent predictions concerning the APP
pearance of the comet, but residents of
Thurmont and that vicinity vouch for the
truth of the statement.
Frank Willman, who was stationed on
the Pacific Coast, when Halley's comet
was visible, was in Thurmont and said
that Saturdays comet was much brighter.
He also said that better view could be
gotten of Halley's comet from the Pacific
Coast than in this section.
The comet moved swiftly. The spec
tators say that the streams could be seen
changing positions, just as if it were a
