BANKS WILL GET SECURITIES.
But Court OF Appeals Holds VandiVer
Was Right.

State Treasurer Murray Vandiver
will be directed to return to the
Fidelity Savings Bank of Frostburg
and two other banks Of Allegany coun-
ty certain bonds and other securities
which they have been compelled to file
with him under an old act of the Leg
islature. This controversy has been
in the courts now for more than a
year. The original action, a suit for
mandamus, was filed in the Circuit
Court for Anne Arundel county. That
tribunal denied the petition and an ap-
peal was made to the Appellate Court.
There was no remedial measure when
the question was first raised, but the
Legislature of 1874 passed an act MAX
ing it possible for the surrender OF
the deposits to the banks. In revers-
ing the lower court and remanding the
case that an order granting the man
damus might be passed, the Court Of
Appeals, in its opinion, states that
Treasurer Vandiver was only exercis-
ing plain duty in refusing to COM
ply with the demands of the banking
officials, that by so doing without an
order of court the possibility of his
being charged with dereliction of duty
was presented. The opinion was pre-
pared by Judge Stockbridge.

Just when a Louisville woman was
at her wits end after many unsuccess-
ful attempts to engage cook Mandy
applied for the situation and was
promptly hired. Mandy was "coun-
try nigger" of generous proportions
and an unlimited ability along culi-
nary lines. and her mistress soon
found that she had a regular cook at
'last.
Unlike many of her kind, Mandy
showed no desire to pry into the af-
fairs OF her mistress. and was equally
silent about her own. She had been
employed for some time before her
mistress. engaging her in conversa-
tion, discovered the bitterness ran
king in her dusky cooks soul.

inquired.

GERMANY's COMMANDMENTS AP-
Piled TO MARYLAND.
(By G. H. Afford, College Park, Md.)

Bismarck, the great German states
man, began the movement which led
to Germanys industrial supremacy
when he worked out and finally adopt
ed the notices: Made in Germany" ="
Germany has room enough and work
enough for all her children" "A
home for every German" Through
these notices the government ap-
pealed to the patriotism of her peo-
pie; assisted materially in keeping
her money at home, and at the same
time increasing tremendously her
home trade.
As an effect of this great industrial
movement, Germany's emigration was
practically stopped; in fact, she gained
on an average of about nine thousand
per year over and above the number
of Germans moving out. This in itself
was great benefit to the country by
keeping her young manhood at home.
Through the years leading up to
Germany's position of wealth num-
Der of commandments were adhered
to. These commandments would ap-
ply to Maryland as we'll as to the great
nation like Germany. The 4laiser's
trade commandments, revised for
Maryland, follows:
l. Always buy Maryland-made
goods in preference to foreign arti-
Gle.
2. Always remember that the pur-
chase of foreign-manufacture articles
takes many out of Maryland and in
jures home industries.
8. Always keep your money at
home where it will do the most good.
4. Serve no foreign goods on your
table.
5. Maryland corn, grown by the
Maryland farmer, on Maryland soil
ground by the Maryland miller, makes
bread good enough for the best.
g. Read Maryland newspapers
filled with Maryland news, aad
patronize their advertisers.
7. Invest your savings in the lead
ing Maryland public service and in
dustrial corporations.
8. Teach Maryland womanhood
that Vienna gowns and Partisan hats
are not suitable for Maryland climate
8. AS much as possible wear Mary
land clothes on your back and Mary
land shoes on your feet.
10. BY insisting that the notices
made in Maryland" and Grown in
Maryland" shall determine your pur
chase, you promote Maryland in
dustries; keep employed Maryland la
Dor; make use of Maryland capital;
distribute at home your Maryland
money.

A negro lawyer in a Southern town
was arguing a case which had to do
with the breaking of a will made by
an old negro. The attorney contended
that the old darky, in addition to
many physical ailments, had been
weak-minded when he made the will.
The court asked the lawyer several
questions about the physical troubles
and mental condition of the dead man,
and to all these queries the lawyer
answered briskly.
Now" asked the court finally. did
this old man have any lucid inter
vals?"

Governor Goldsborough issued a
proclamation prohibiting the receipts
of all live stock into Maryland except
horses and mules. The object of this
move Is not only to stamp out further
spread of the foot-and-mouth disease,
but also to protect Maryland from the
large cost which the Federal inspectors
are attempting to place upon the State
by wholesale slaughter of hogs. The
Federal Bureau of Animal Industry is
trying to compel Maryland to pay one
half of this cost despite the fact that
the infected animals are brought here
