SABBATH IN BALTIMORE.

1t happened not in the England of CromweTs
time. not in Puritan Massachusetts, or Connecticut
out in present-day Baltimore. There was a great
raid OF Sabbath breakers in pursuance OF a grand
Jury order. based the old Blue Laws cf 1873
Hundreds OF citizens arrested by the police .
The maefactors included BARRIERS drugstore FRO
prietors. saltwater dispensers. candy merchants
tobacconists. ice cream delivery and others
gagged, IN some way other. in mnisterng to the
comfort OF their fellow-citizens according mod
demands
Whether these demands. and the standards they
represent. are intrnscaIly right or wrong may
open 20 question. It Is a strange spectacle wcver
calculated to arouse discussion the object
Of the Sabbath day and the force of its sanctions
and prohibitions
The present drift in America toward the Con
tinental Sunday" Is certainly lamentabIe
Il tends TO make the Sabbath day OF noisy dis
traction rather than a day OF and spiritual
freshment. But Is there TO be compromise be-
tween the two extremes OF the modern Continental
Sunday and the old Hebrew Sabbath
II can be argued rather convincingly that the
Sabbath contemplated in those blue Laws" is not
a Christian Sabbath. Critics or the Baltimore raid
point out that Jesus himself expressly dsapproved
the Hebrew Blue Laws acquiescing in a toll
Grant observance and declaring that the Sabbath
made for man. and not man for the Sabbath"

The Horoscope
THURsDAY. DEC. IS.

While the prospect is for a lively
and exciting day. the planetary po-
sitions are OF a contradictory nature
promising anxiety and perplexity
rather than disappointment or dis
aster. In any circumstances it will
be inadvisable 10 jeopardize money
either in investment or speculation,
as Jupiter Yields a decidedly ad-
verse infiuence-in a position the
menace OF which is accentuated by
an Unfriendly ray from the lumin-
aries. Saturn lends strong assist
ance by paving the way for a later
important and permanent success,
breaking up obstinate conditions and
furthering weighty projects. There
is a distinct danger from false
friendships or acquaintance. with
fraud and treachery imminent.
Those whose birthday it IS may
have a lively and eventful year. but
one calling for the utmost discretion
and good judgment in the manage
ment Of affairs. the principal dan
ger being from fraud or treachery.
A child born on this day will be
