Fire broke out Thursday in the top of tbe boiler room of the Laurel Clay Pro- ducts Company, about three miles south of Laurel and completely destroyed the plant with the drying sheds. The plant was a large one, and considered one of the best in this part of the country. It employed over 100 men.

A bucket brigade was thm formed, and succeeded in say- ing tbe drv ing sheds.

State Sunday Soil mil Convention There is every indication now that this Convention, which will be held in Balti- more Thursday and Friday, October 11 aud 12. will be the greatest Sunday School Convention in the history of the Associa- tion, aud the Counties will undoubtedly play a large part in making it so There will be three sessions Thursday —morning, afternoon and evening—in both St. Mark’s English Lutheran and Seven h Baptist Churches, aud two ses- sions in each church Fi iday—morning and afternoon. Noted Sunday School spec ialists will sp'*ak at a 1 these sessions. Friday evening there will be a Jubilee Mass Meeting at the Lyric Music Hall, at which the Chri-tiau Endeavor Chorus of 3 U voices, conducted by Mr Richard A. Han is, will sing, Governor Wat field will present the diplomas to the graduates of the Teacher Training Classes of the Slate Sunday School Association, and Mr. Marion Lawret.ee will make an address.

At a largely attended meeting of the Dn r Creek Fanners’ Club of Harford County held at the residence of Mr. W. Beatty, at Churchville, Saturday evening, Prof. Milton Whitney, chief of the Bu- reau of Soils of the United Stales Depart- ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C-, made an address ou lb j "Fertility of the Soil as a Commercial Asset.” This is one of a series of these addresses outlining the investigations of the Bureau of Soils, the first being delivered last April before the Rich Neck Farmers’ Club of Queen Anne county, and has been published as a Farmers’ bulletin by the Department of Agriculture, entitled “Soil Fertility.” In the address the position was taken that the soil furnishes an adequate supply of plant food for crops and that the deteri- oration of crops is not due to an exhaus- tion of plant food, as formerly supposed, but to the presence of toxic or poisonous substances present iu the soil or resulting from the growth of plants; that ultiva- tion and fertilizers destroy these toxic principles and l*ave the soil iu a better sanitary condition for succeeding crops; that tbe rotation of crops is beneficial, because of the fact that the excreta from one plant, while usually prejudicial to a similar plant immediately following, is not necessarily injurious to other kinds of plants, thus giving the soli more time in which to dispose of the waste products. In the address on Saturday it was pointed out that the general views as to the ac- exhaustion of soils are probably incorrect. It was shown that all available statistics fail to show any marked deterioration of the wheat soils of the Northwest, although the general impression is that the yield of wheat has markedly decreasad in the past 15 or 20 years. W., B. & A. Lets Contract Mr. George T. Bishop, president of the Washington, Baltimore aud Annapolis Electric Railway Company and the Balti- more Terminal Company, closed a con- tract Tuesday morning with the General Electric Company for the electrical equip- ment to be used on the two roads. The contract calls for an expenditure of about $500,000, and provides fur machinery to be used in the power-houses and motors for the cars. A contract for the car bodies will be let within a few days. Mr. Bishop said recently that it has been decided to use the alternating cur- rent system and to have three power sta- tions between Baltimore and Washington. The principal one will be at Academy Junction and others just outside of Balti- more aud Washington. The electrical equipment is to be ready for delivery in April, and it is believed it can be installed aud all work completed in lime to put the road iu operation ou July 1, 1907. Unclaimed Letters.

The Publisher’s Claims Sustained United States Court of Claims The Publishers of Webster’* International Dictionary allege that it “ is, in fact.the popu- lar Unabridged thoroughly re-edited in every detail, and vastly enriched in every part, with the purpose of adapting it to meet the larger and severer requirements of another genera- tion.” We are of the opinion that this allegation most clearly and accurately describes the work that has been accomplished and the result that has been reached. The Dictionary, as it now stands, has been thoroughly re- edlted in everydetail, has been corrected in every part, and is admirably adapted to meet the larger and severer requirements of a generation which demands more of popular philological knowledge than any generation that the world has ever contained. It is perhaps needless to add that we refer to the dictionary in our judicial work as of the highest authority in accuracy of defini- tion ; and that in the future as in the past it will be the source of constant reference.

IN HEALTH. IN DISEAS*. ~9 |^ P e£-*r | Man is a millionaire many times over in the possession of blood cells. Woman is not quite so rich, for scientists have proven that the normal number of red blood cells in adult men is five million; in women four and a half million, to the square millimeter. The normal cell is not absolutely round in health, but, in disease, becomes ex- tremely irregular in shape. Every one can be in perfect health and possess the mil- lions of rich red blood corpuscles if they only know how to go about it. Dr. R. V. Pierce, consulting physician to the Inva- lids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buf- falo, N. Y., advises every man and woman to prepare for a long life by observing na- ture’s laws. In the first place, if your digestion is faulty, and the food you eat is not taken up by the blood and assim- ilated properly, you need a tonic and diges- tive corrector, something that will increase the red blood corpuscles; he believes in going about this in nature’s own way. Years ago, in his active practice, he found that an alterative extract of certain herbs and roots, put up without the use of alco- hol, would put the liver, lungs and heart into fuller and more complete action. This medicine he called Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. By assimilating th* food eaten, it nourishes the blood, and, in- stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per. son’s blood takes on a rich red color and the corpuscles are more nearly round. Nervousness is only the cry of the starved nerves for food, and when the nerves are fed on rich red blood the person loses those irritable feelings, sleeps well at night gnd feels refreshed in the morning.

The October term of tbe Circuit Court convened here on Monday with Judges Briscoe and Merrick on the bench. Judge Crane arrived Wednesday. This session promises to be a lengthy one and several important cases will be tried, including two murder cases. The case that is attracting the most at- tention is that of the State against E. P. Gibbs, a prosperous farmer of Queen Anne district. The charge against Gibbs is that he shot and killed a negro named Thomas Turner. It appears that Turner was gathering hay from a field adjoining Gibbs’ place, the title of which was in dispute. Gibbs requested the colored man not to gather the hay and the dis- pute arose which was followed by the shooting. The prisoner has the front room on the lawer floor of the jail com- fortably fitted up, and occupies most of his time reading. Tbe shooting, it is stated, will be ad- mitted, and the plea will, we understand, be self defense. The case will be tried here and not be removed to another coun- ty, as had been expected. Mr. Robert W. Wells, of Hyattsville, and Mr. Geo. H. Hoover, of Washington, will repre- sent the prisoner, while the State will be represented by Mr. M. Hampton Magru- der and Mr. J. C. Rogers. The other case that will attract close attention is that of the colored man, John Joseph Chase, who was recently arrested by Deputy Sheriff Vincent for an alleged attempt to criminally assault Miss Eliza- beth Wybenger, a young white girl near her home in Columbia Park. A charge of murder is lodged against a fourteen year old colored boy named Ernest Henry, who, it is stated, shot and killed Guy Pyles, also colored. Michael Qualter, an aged soldier, is also in jail here charged with felonious assault. It is charged that be assaulted the young daughter of a resident of Ber- wyn. The following cases have been tried. Walter Drosey vs. Harvy W. McNamee. An appeal; tried before jury. Verdict for appellee. Motion for new tral filed. C- M. Roberts for appellant; J. C.

Indeed finer tobacco has seldom been exhibited anywhere. The exhibit attracted great attention and was uniformly admired, and it seemed to be the unanimous opinion of visitors and exhibitors that the Blue Ribbon was wisely bestowed.”
