inquiring as to when they would re-

tiers, nor had they received the cups
and checks awarded them. Among
one was a complaint from one ex-
hibitor regarding u. c. Smith
typewriter which was understood to
have been awarded but which has
not been received. An investigation
showed that no typewriter had been
listed on the premium list, but the
exhibitor was positive in the state
ment that the typewriter had been
ffereh and that this was the induce
ment which caused the entry to be
made at the show.
Several Fine Birds Missing
Letters were read from other eX'

that had been entered at the show,
and sent by express to Wendler for
entry, had never been returned to
the owners, and inquiring as to
their whereabouts. That letters had
been written to Wendler but no re-

had no knowledge of these facts nor
of the whereabouts of the birds.
Some of the owners of missing birds
Expressed their intention of coming

TURKEY, THE TRoUBLE-BREEDER.

The marvellous capacities of the Consantinople
government for making trouble and diSScnSon among
the powers, illustrated by the fact that
German army officer has been placed in command of
the garrison of COnstantinope. Thereupon Russia
has been set by the ears, and Russias ally France
far from pleased True British officers are the chief
advisers of Turkey in naval matters and Frenchmen
have much to do with the fiscal administration of the
country. But all this is accounted merely the evil
denCe that Turkey is in the hands of the money loan
erS. The command of the COnstantinoplc garrison
has very specific and ominouS meaning
Russia has kept her hands off Bahama in the last
two years despite her ambitions, which for genera
tons have pointed the straight way to Constantmoplc
and the warm She has it would seem, deserved
rather well of Turkey at this uncture yet she turns
over TO Germany the key to tine Mediterranean Just
as she permitted Germany to dominate the Bagdad
railroad greatly to the offcnSc of both Russia and
Great Britain.
The old game of playing off the powers one
against the other, is being played with the same
skill as of old, by the porte. On smaller scale
il would SEEM Turkey is getting ready to play that
same game against the allies of the Balkans De-
feated by them when they co-Operated Turkey now
seeks to separate them and then defeat them one at
time. Greece apparently is her first object of at
tack. Turkey is entering upon what would seem
foolish effort at naval expansion the real purpose
of which is supposed to be the Overpowering of

victim OF intrigue and violence, Turkey hight pres

A SWELLING PoULTRY.YARD CHORUS

There are $4,000 farms in Maryland and, accord
ing to the census Of 1870 the number of fowls kept
on them increased 26 per cent in the preceding
decade. Great as this numerical increase was, the
value of the fowls showed a still more rapid gain
rising 60 per cent and amounting to total OF
nearly 100000. Most of this sum is invested in
chickens which constitute nine -tenhs of the poultry
stock on the farms of the State.
Bearing these facts in mind, it is not surprising
to learn that the number of exhibits at the annual
show of the Maryland Poultry and Pigeon ASSocia-
tion is the largest in the history of that organiza
ton. Evidences of the growth of what is some
times called the Chicken fad, but which is to many
farmers a very practical means of obtaining addl-
tional money quickly abound on every hand. And to
many who are not farmers in the strict sense of the
word in that they do not derive the principal por-
ton of their revenue from agricultural pursuits, the
raising of poultry affords diversion and exercise in
the open air, besides supplying their tables with
fresh eggs and dainty 'brolers" that add materially
to the atTactiveness and whoesomeneSS of their
diet.
Maryland is particularly adapted to the profitable
development of the poultry industry because, as
stated in a recent issue of the Agricultural College
Bulletin she has 100000 consumers in the cities
and towns located at her doors" Possessing evil
dent advantages in ready markets and comparatively
small cost of Shipment there is no reason why tine
next census should not show a still more marked
advance in the Number and value of fowls which
the poultry-Eeepers of this region can count among
their ready assets.

FORD PROFIT SHARING.

Perhaps never before was such a proft-sharing
scheme tried even a small scale as the ForG
Motor Company announced it will put into effect i'm
medately on very large scale. Half the earnings
of the company-and they huge earnngs-are
understand it, to be distributed among the en-
ployes But every of those employees will be ex-
pected to use his income in proper manner; if he
does not he will to be one of the benefcares
In this profit sharing it is said that no man in
the plan viii receive less than S. day for eight
hour day, though he be no more than floor sweeper
rfstbe standard of pay is to be as high for other
employees it would be natural for very nearly every
rStciasS mechanic in the United States be knock
ng at the door of the Ford Motor Company for em-
Dloyment And because there would be such na-
rional rivalry to get jobs there it would be just
natural for every man already on the payrols to do
ne very best work that in him to stay there.
This high stimulation of the productive capacity
of the proft-sharing employees in the Ford Motor
Company might very easily revolutonize the auto
mobile industry and perhaps many others as well.

GREATER SAFETY IN MINES.

That the public is waking up to the need OF
greater safety of human life in mines and that
the constant agitation on this subject is bearing
fruit facts TO be dscerned in recent advceS from
Reading, Pa, where there was lately held secret
conference of State mine inspectors. The action
taken there is the noteworthy because the Penn
sylvania Legislature has been backward despite the
vast mining inter IS of the State, in insisting on
rigid safety measures.
At the meeting of the inspectors it was decided
that order would be issued compelling coal CON-
panies in the anthracite fields to employ patrolmen
examine the face of pitching breasts at least twice
day. This will result in frst-hand assurance that
pocket ogas has escaped and that there is no dan
ger of squeezing.
Another order marks the end of fuses and caps
in the preparation for blasting. Instead electric
batteries must be used. These two measures were
urged by the United Mine Workers. but they were
defeated by the State in the last Legislature
1t would appear that while the miners we're defeated
far concerns placing their views on the statute
books, their agitation has called the publics attention
to the lfesaving merits of the proposals which are
now receiving the attention of the State mining de-
partment

THE STATE LEGISLATURES.

Important is the business commanding atten-
ion of the National Congress this winter the State
Legislatures will have in hand that in the
aggregate will affect the nation hardly less The
States have lately been coming into realization
Of their dignity and importance, appreciation
Of the services they can do.
For example, Governor Cox Of Ohio has called
he attention of his Legislature to the need of some
considerable reorganization of the State banking
rvs in order to bring them into harmony with the
new banking and currency system of the nation.
There will be found few States, if any, in which the
existing laws will entirely fit themselves in with the
new system. The cooperation of the States will
have, in the long run, good deal to do with deter
mining whether the new plan shall have the most
satisfactory possible experience.
Another change in the Federal system which
necesstates adaptation of State laws is the popular
election of Senator'S The States must provide ma
chnery for carrying into effect the national pol
icy, to arrange for nomination of Senatorial candi-
dates and to insure that vacancies in the Senate may
be filed, pending elections
These. however, are rather obvious and routine
matters, though of great importance. Governor Cox
has suggested other subjects of very large
Germ to almost every State. He is asking his Legs-
azure to provide systematic reorganization of the
rural schools through which small country districts
may be consolidated larger student bodies be brought
together better teachers afforded and effective grad
ing employed. This involves, of necessity, arrange
ments for the transportation of pupils at public ex-
rense, which in this day of automobiles is vastly
easier and cheaper than it used to be.
Indeed, it is not too much to say that half the diff
fculy of bettering the country schools is probably
~amoyed by the possibilities of using the automobile

THE WRIGHTs AND AVIATION.

In recent years there has been complaint that
though the American Wrights invented the art OF
mechanical fight, Americans have contributed less
than their share toward perfection and development
Of the art 1t is not to be doubted however that the
chings which European inventors produced were
practically all notifications Of essential elements
produced first by the Americans.
Now, however, comes big radical Fundamental
development. The stabilizing mechanism, which ii
is promised will insure vastly greater security and
safety in flight than has been possible before,
is at last perfected to the point of practical useful
neSs and it comes from the shop of the Wright

since the WrightS proved that flight possible and
practicable.

and the Snake Chdrmer.

-HE legend OF the snake
charmer," began Mr.. Clarence
F. Underwood. the artist, in
relating the romance of one of
his models. has no doubt crept into the
ma jority Of studios in New York city.
Not that the snake charmer posed for
many srtists, for that would not have
been in tune with her temperament, but
as she was unique she was naturally
talked about.
''Marcie was a creature OF most in
tense fancies and aversions, and the
artists for whom she consented to pose
could fiatter themselves that she had an
appreciation of their work and also
liked them personally. -
Her figure was the most unusual
have ever seen Her great length and
slimress swayed into gentle snake-liks
curves if she moved ever so slightly. 1t
seemed only natural that she should
have the power to hypnotic the reptiles
of whom she reminded one so strongly.
she had a remarkable power of con-
centration and endurance. With her
arms held above her head in a position
so difficult that another girl could not
have remained in il a half hour, Marcia
would stay without ffickerinS an eyelash
or moving the least bit sometimes for
three hours at a time, until the artist,
from sheer exhaustion, would have to
stop his own work. She would even
refuse to use the arm rests suspended
from the ceiling over her head.
Marcia and her snakes were in de-
r,and as a novel form of entertainment
at teas and parties, ard one day young
newspaper man came TO get the story of
the snake charmer. Others than snakes
were charmed by the fascinating girl.
and from the day he first saw her the
young writer was a devoted aduirer.
She was not a woman easy 10 win. A
man had to fight and strive for her es-
teen.
"All this time he was climbing the lad
der of success in his profession, for
nothing makes a man work and achieve
as does that right love for the right
woman. When he finally won her con-
sent to marry him she vas no less
proud and happy than he. Recently
Marcias husband has been appointed to
the place of editor-in-chief of one OF
the most popular publications in the
country.
The fascinating snake char.ner made
a match as brilliant as any woman
could wish for. and her husband mar
ried a woman as charming as man could
hope to find"

THE TAXICAB DECISION.

Quite long time ago The Times observed that
there occasion for the Public Utilities Com
mission to delay deciding the taxicab case because
L certain to hold that taxcabs are common car
.ers. The commission has now decided, and decided
nat way.
The common-carrer verdict is so eGtrey logical
and within the common sense of the case that it IS
hard &c believe there be grounds for an appeal
to The courts The taxicab companies would strength
their position with the public if they would con-
clude to accept this determination of the matter
and without prolongng litigation, would subject them
elves to the regulations that will be made by the
commission. If they are not common carriers under
he law it stands, they be assured that the law
will be fixed to make them such. Similar facilities
re common carriers in other jurisdictions, and are
regulated by public service commissions. They are
going to be regulated here and the best plan is to
recognize the inevitable and accept it graciousy
knay be-
