The new British schooner Perce.

stated, for a quick run on the Chesa-
peake The vessel was bound from
New York to Baltimore to load and
after being held up in the bay by fog
for more than twenty-four hours she
made up for lost time by making
about fifteen miles an hour under sail.
The run of 100 miles from the mouth
of the bay to quarantine at Baltimore
was made in twelve hours.

Plenty of Oysters ct Wharves.

Four vessels laden with oysters from
the lower Potomac arrived here yester-
day, and though one of them unloaded
and got away. the oyster handlers at
the 18th street wharf market late last
night estimated that there were about
1900 bushels at the wharf. Those who
visit the wharf today for a feast of
oysters freshly shucked or on the half
shell will find the supply abundant.
Prices will range about so to 60 cents a
bushel for Potomac stock and higher
for that from the bay beds. The oys-
tiers now arriving here are in good con-
dition and flavor.

the publicity which often goes witt trivial matters and that their future should not be blasted. when q quiet disposal of their cases upon their soer- it's, with the idea of correcting the tendencies, is far preferable.
 It was not long ago that a maSis- trate voiced his opinion in the same section of New York to the effect that the cases in which women are con- cerned as prisoners should be treated likewise, and this is the idea of the justice of the children's court, be- cause it is felt that there is a morbid curiosity surrounding many of the cases which it would be just as well to shut off.
 That there should be a full and fair trial to which the, public should, be admitted has always been the corften- tion in the disposal of criminal af- fairs. This is for the protection of the accused in securing. justice that 1t may not be one sided. It was because of corrupt administration of courts ot justice that such asprovision was made and it is not believed that it should be discarded now. It Is wef1 known that when vice and crime are covered up they get new encouragement and with secrecy prevailing in the adninistra- tion of justice tke harm is likely to be as great in one direction as the other. Star chamber sessions are not looked. upon with favor particularly when they concern courts.

 Health insurance, as proposed, strikes at the very foundation of true democracy, which gives to all both re- ligious and medical freedom. The right to worship God according to the dictation of ones own conscience and the right to choose the nSthod by which one shall be Tninistered unto in sickness are identical and inseparable. They are inherent rights which no leg lslation can rightfully annul or im- pair.
 At the present time there is a large and growing class of people, who pre- fer systems wherein drugs are not used It is obvious that such law as is advocated would deprive one Of the right to be healed by any of those systems. Among the class referred to are many thousands, who after years of faithful endeavor to obtain health by means of medical Urea trnent, have as a last resort turned to God and experienced spiritual healing. A pro- posal to make praying for the sick crime demands the earnest and thoughtful consideration of every citi- zen.
 Yours for medical freedom,
