fc Vrset Wholesale Vaccination. A letter was received by the County Commissioners at. Towson yesterday from Dr. John S. Fulton, secretary of the State Board of Health, In which the writer declares that it has become necessary to again remind the Commissioners that the people of Maryland are in need of a complete defense against smallpox by means of vaccination.

During the last five years, Dr. Fulton writes, smallpox has prevailed on one or another border of Maryland and the State has been Invaded many times, but the disease has not made headway In any of the counties where the existing vaccination laws were effectively enforced. In three counties many children of school-going age were attacked in 1903, some of them dying. There were in nil 14 deaths from the disease last year. The cost of suppressing the scourge in 1903 fell heavily upon the Commissioners of two counties, being upward of $0,000.

Practically all this large expenditure would have been avoided, Dr. Fulton asserts. If 300 persons had been vaccinated. It is the duty of the School Boards, the letter continues, to see that children attending schools are vaccinated, and it is the duty of the County Commissioners to provide means for furnishing this protection. Several Instances came to the knowledge of the State Board of fraudulent certificates of vaccination.

With hearty co-operation between the county Boards of Health and the School Boards the State, Dr. Fulton declares, can be kept clear of smallpox at little cost. If preparations are. postponed until the disease appears the cost is bound to be heavy. In one county an ignorant man proposed to sell the public a substitute for vaccination to be taken inwardly.

There is no substitute, says Dr. Fulton. Adolphus, T. Pindell, of Sherwood Protestant Episcopal parish, Cockeysville. Miss J.

He bade me good-by and went off, and has never returned to me." On the same ground, Eleanor Russell. 121 South Carrollton avenue, was granted an absolute divorce from Edward E.

Russell. They were married September 14, 1S97. "About half an hour after the marriage my husband said good-by," Mrs. Russell testified, "and he has never come back to live with me since."

Editors: Why is It considered necessary to publish the ngos, along with the names, in marriage licenses? I enn, of course, see reasons why there should be a record of them, but why the publication I have known so many women to give false figures, believing the Injustice of the thing exonerated One woman reversed the usual order and persuaded the man to add a few years to his own age. in order not to proclaim to the world that her husbnnd was her junior. Shakespeare's "Let the woman take an elder than herself" Is still held to. in spite of the heroic act of Lady Churchill. Another told me she had no in, tentlon ot giving her right aire "nobody did" but she whs going to tell Dick I am orry I cannot sny whether she ever did.

I know the sex of the writer will be readily surmised and cause (If read) smiles from the opposite side. Suppose the custom should arise to state, along with the names and ages, also the salaries I have no doubt they would rise as one man and make it a campaign Issue. We would find in the license notices (since they are the opposite sex) not subtraction, but addition, to.account for the discrepancy between fact and fiction. I am not advocating that nn nutoblng-raphy should accompany each name, but only this that John and Mary are married is all that concerns the public; Every time I read or hear of a misstatement by an otherwise honest woman I regret it. Even though she has argued its justification, she has lost something to herself.

-So why publish L. K. S. The President And CoiicrrenM. JUessrs.

Editors: i If Theodore Roosevelt is elected President of the Tutted States November, within two yei.iT thereafter ft men out of 10 who voted for him will say that if their foresight been as good us their hindsight they would not have -nst their ballots for htm. Elect Roosevelt President, give him the reins, and Ka'ner Wllhelm will be ns gentle jiophyr to roaring wind. lie will surround himself with ambitious, unscrupulous men, who will back him In everything he docs. will form a party bound together by the cohesive power of public plunder, and the coffers our coal barons, mineowners and oil magnates will furnish him unlimited monuR to silence the judiciary, to quiet the press, to purchnse the elective franchise and to bribe the voter. Roosevelt, the dictator, will have the Army and Navy cf the Unit, od States under his personal cuitrol, and, like Napoleon when elected Consul, he will override the Constitution and the law.

A little Incident that happened but two years ago will show his utter coutemnt for the wishes of the lawgivers when they stand In his vay. When the Caisus Bureau organized the force chosen outside of the civil service, and every member of Congress and every Senator placed personal friends In that olfice. When tha groat work was neeoinp'lshed the question of what should be done with 2,000 clerks who had spent two years in office This quos. tion occupied the attention of Congress for two weeks, and both branches of that part of the Government took the view thnr, as this large body of clerks, mined by years of Government service, was far above the average, it would lv- g.od policy and sound to draft thorn into the different departments. Iu all the nmials of Const ex, so fur I have been able to learn, it wn the only political incisure that was ever brought before Congress that receive 1 the unanimous vote of both houses.

It must be membered that every member bnd chosen his quota for Ihe Census Office, and such pressure was brought to that eni'h and every lawmaker became a partisan of the measure. Did the Pi'es'dent respect the wishes of both the legislative branches of the Government? Not he; it ran counter to his idea of the civil service, and the wishes and votes of these august oodles were ns nothing compared to the Judgment of Theodore Roosevelt. He called Senator Lodgii and gave him his order in effect, to find some plan to nullify the vote of Congress. The subservient Senator from Massachusetts by the trick of raising I ho salary of the Director of the Census stopped proceedings In the Senate and sent the question back to the House to concur in the Senate's amendment. The sefsion whs drawing to a close, and when nt last the law was passed the President withheld his signature and so the measure was strangled.

Theu after Conjrrcss bad adjourned but six months nfterwu'd, fix short months the President, by an executive order, with one stroke of hit i-en, swept hundreds of the temporary clerks of the "War Department into the cover of the civil service. This was consistency with vengeance, but Secretary Root wanted It done and anvthing to oblige a friend. This is a true and literal statement of the case. Any President who coolly and deliberately ignores the wishes and votes of every member of the upper and l. wr houses Congress will follow his own will.

It 1 true he called Congressmen "cuttle," and they submitted like cattle. Tin minority was powerless and the majority was dominated by a man who will have lils own peculiar way if he has to shatter every tradition Americans hold and break every law on the statute books.

GOURDS CALLED PUMPKINS Much Ignorance As To Agricultural Matters Crops Out Some New Exhibitors On The Grounds. Notwithstanding the threatening weather a good-sized crowd gathered at Prospect Park yesterday and seemed to enjoy thoroughly inspecting the many interesting exhibits. The "big pumpkins" were wondered at, and some of the garden truck kept them guessing as to what the things really were. Some gourds proved that there are people "greener than gourds," for they were called anything but gourds. The visitors seem to go to Prospect Park to have a good time and the forepart of the day is usually devoted to sightseeing and other attractions.

By. the time the racing begins the spectators are ready for the excitement the change affords. Among new exhibits are the following G. H. Stevenson, Reisterstown, carriages and buggies.

James S. Brian, Middle river, farm and platform spring wagons. R. A. Banning, Baltimore, single and double carriages and buggies.

The poultry exhibit is held in a separate building. Many varieties are shown. Plymouth Rocks lead the classes. There is also a good display of pigeons, and on one side quite an exhibit of dogs. There is one canine tied to a post that is so shaggy and looks so much alike at each end that it must bother him or the people to tell which way he is going when he starts to move.

Among the vegetable exhibits are some Hercules Club gourds. They are about the length and shape of Lewis celebrated black bat, though they are a little fatter at the ends. There are also Serpentine gourds and the famous Dipper or Calabash gourd so popular "down South." The display of potatoes plainly Indicates that the season has been a good one. Among the exhibits are some splendid specimens of Beauty of Hebron and Early Ohio and Rose. No sweets are exhibited.

Here and there in the main hall are odd things of Interest. In a glass case is a mammoth crab decked with yellow and black ribbons. A placard says: "First Eagle to Arrive; Not a Lobster, but Hubbard's Big Crab. Size from Claw to Claw, 20 Inches; Size of Shell, 84 Inches Long, 4 Inches Wide; Weight. IV Pounds.

Embalmed by William H. Schilling. Will Keep 20 Years or More. Owner, James T. Hubbard, 1402 East Monument, City." A miniature Ferris wheel will elevate you to a position commanding a view of the entire grounds and surrounding country.

It can accommodate 24 passengers, and the double seats are on the "sit close, please," order, which none of the couples seem to object to. A gasoline engine, forming part of a complete circle of Imitation bicycles which rrn in a single trough or gutter track, is another attraction of a newer order. There are pedals, a regular bicycle seat and handle bars. A novice can get leg exercise a la bicycle and experience fast riding without the danger sensation of being dumped, etc. are single cushioned seats without bicycle contraptions for ladles.

Thirty-two people can ride at the same time. In the shooting galleries people demonstrate before outspoken critics that they are by no means in Buffalo Bill's class as good shots. There is a hunger-creating odor of "hot frankfurters" in the atmosphere, and for "a nickel, half a dime, 5 cents," a steaming hot sample will be transferred between a sliced French roll, making a connecting link to a real fair-ground sandwich. There is a man who makes faces and has the finished pictures ready in eight minutes. There is a "laughing hall," with combination mirrors, where, if anyone is "stuck" on his figure he will have the conceit taken out of him at the first glance.

In Honor Of Miss O'Mara. The Misses Mary and Ella Connor entertained at a dinner Monday afternoon in honor of their guest, Miss Mary O'Mara. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. M.

D. Norris and Osborne I. Yellott, his attorneys, yesterday Instituted suit at Towson for a limited divorce from his wife, Bessie G. Morrow, on statutory grounds. The bill states the couple were married October, 1902, and have no children.

1892, and lived gether until June last, when the husband refused to provide for the plaintiff and her child. The 'bill also charges unfaithfulness. Oil Stove Starts A Fire. An oil stove in the basement of the house owned and occupied by Mrs. Mary Roche, on Ready avenue, near Arlington avenue, exploded about 9.30 o'clock yesterday morning and the, flames spread to the building.

An alarm was given, and tlje Govanstown and Roland Park engines, together with the Waverly engine. Inside the city limits, responded. The Govanstown engine had the fire out by the time the other engines arrived. The loss will reach about $300. Medieal Men To Meet.

Important Factor In Longevity. Messrs. Editors: To know how to live to be a hundred years is surely an Interesting question, especially to those who have hud a pleasant, happy, healthy and contented life, free of the pains and misery of this world.

Physical ailments are often caused by individual imprudence and want of proper attention" to certain facts necessary for health. It is not my object to enter into the scientific question of life or to speculate on questions we know nothing about the nervous centers, etc. To live something must die, be it animal or vegetable, and iu the re-solution the elements must reach the blood to supply what is lost by life. The question how to secure the vital force necessary to prolong life1 is what I wish to make plain to the unscientific reader from the standpoint of facts 'known to all, namely, food and water. To enable solid, insoluble food, be it animal or vegetable, to reach the blood It must be converted to a soluble condition I.

soluble in water like salt or sugar. To reach this condition the secretions of the stomach and intestines convert It Into chyme on Its road to chyle. When the latter condition is reached it is ready for blood, which the arteries convey to all parts of the body, giving it life and health, and is returned to the starting point through the veins to secure a fresh supply of life. It is not necessary to tell the reader that this circulation cannot go on through the arteries and veins without the blood is kept in a very diluted form, and this Is the point I am aiming for. Water is the great solvent for chyme and chyle, liquidizing so the blood can circulate throughout the whole system, from the brain to the soles of the feet, warming nil parts and thereby enabling the food to pass to chyme and chyle, dissolving the coagulated albumen of the flesh and vegetable food, which action will not take place under 08, or blood hear.

This everyone knows who has experimented with a hard-boiled white of egg with pepsin, which must be kept at 98 or the experiment fails, as It does at a temperature above J)S. Hence will be seen the importance of keeping th-j body warm, as I have so often urged upon a young lady who will wear thin dresses, although a terrible sufferer from indigestion and dyspepsia In Its worst form. To keep up animal heat it must come from the life in the food, and the food must be digested, otherwise it may reach too far away from the digesting secretion and ferment, giving pain, headaches, stomach pains, etc. In the re-solution of the food I. tiie formation of chyme and chyle offeuslve, poisonous compounds are formed, such as fecal matter, uric acid, and togct rid of such matter two channels are on hand, namely, the kidneys and Intestines, and to enjoy health and a long life it is Important that no obstruction to either should exist, and to prevent it the great solvent power of water comes In play, dissolving the uric acid, giving it a free passage through the kidneys and bladder.

The same may be said of the fecal matter. Water tends to prevent its absorption by the blood and the poison of the same, followed by bad health which often shortens life. It is my pleasure to know a lady of Baltimore 83 years old, straight as a plumb line and active in movement, who for years has made it a rule to drink one quart of water between supper and bedtime, and who, from appearance and action, looks as if she might reach the hundred mark. It is a popular error that water makes one fat. This is impossible directly.

Indirectly it may have much to do In the formation of fat and flesh, as well as bone muscle and brains, all of which are carbonaceous matter rich in carbon of which there is not a trace in water. Indirectly Its solvent power enables the chyme and ehyle In solution to reach the blood, and tha water, forming 00 per cent, of the blood, enables it to circulate in its trip from the lungs and heart, from head to foot, and deposit the life of the blood in the animal tissues. I have read recently a scientific paper claiming that the red corpuscles of the blood have life in them, and another writer claims life in the light of the sun. One thing Is sure we can have no life without the light and heat of the sun. The writer will understand that when the flesh and bones become diseased, as in cancer, consumption, Bright's disease, gout, womb and ovaries and other organic trouble, that water presents a cure, but the aim Is to prevent thw degeneration of these organs, the starting point being bad blood.

At this time I know a lady filling an important and lucrative public position fot years who at 18 was on the verge of the grave from a deposit in the left lung. Her doctor told the writer he did not think she would live three months. All medicine failed to stop the progress of the deposit from the blood, and good nutritious food, tender beef, fish, skim milk and sweet carbohydrate in the form of sweetbread (dextrine and gluten) were furnished her. Through her and her mother's exertion a large family has been reared and educated and two sisters are teachers In the public schools, one a successful trained nurse and one hap-plty married. In conclusion I must say after many years of observation I have not founfl any beverage to equal pure water.

Beef and whisky will not fill the bill. On the contrary, they often ruin the stomach, brains and kidneys. Whisky will not dissolve albumen, chyme, chyle or flbrlne. It is a pleasure to know that our worldwide known hospital uses abundance of water and the light of the sun as a comfort to suffering humanity, while some years ago both were denied to even those who were burning up with a heating fever. This enrries me back to 70 years ago, when a boy in Virginia.

While, burning with a high fever and craving a glass of water I overheard an eminent doctor of that day Dr. Robert Baldwin, of Winchester, Va. tell the nurse he had given me 10 grains of calomel and not to let me have any water. The well-known Shawnee spring of cold limestone water was not far off and I was not too sick to get there, and for an hour or more I poured down all the cold water I could get In me. Whether It was the water or calomel I cannot tell, but from that day to the present I have been a convert to water, and cannot recall an hour that my pulse has beat above the normal one.

A. P. Shabp. Overeating And OverdrtnklnK. Messrs.

Editors: I read with much interest two open let ters published In your columns recently. I refer to the communication by "A Church Girl" and "Learner" on the "Subway Tavern." "When I read of the opening of Bishop Potter's "saloon" I thought "what a pity 'tis true," and more is the pity man should stoop from the dignity of his princely position in the church to loan his to a saloon, no matter if his motives were noble and true. I am very sure his course has required a tremendous amount of moral courage. Still I am much afraid when the tablets of time or history are engraved the Bishop's name will not be added to the im-mortal list as one who has helped to save the weak and lowly from their depraved appetites. As to "A Church Girl's" effusion there Is no question about the fact that people at times eat too much, but still we never hear of them committing murder or any other heinous crime while Jn that condition.

Overeating has the effect to make them stupid, while strong drink excites and drives to devilish actions many a naturally good man, and woman, too, I am sorry to say, because the drink habit is on the increase among women, and many of them have passed the safety point. For a Christian to advocate Bishop Potter's plan seems very much like a league between the church and Satan, with his Satanic majesty In the driver's seat It is a well-attested fact that such a league exists between the liquor element the political world. Norman can be elected to an ofHce in this State who openly antagonizes the saloon power. When one thinks of the blighted hopes of the mother, the shattered dreams of connubial bliss, the hungry and forsaken children', all strewn on the shoals of intemperance, one wonders bow even moderate drinking could be an "innocent" pleasure and is tempted to ask If we in this strenuous age are not in danger of becoming lotus eaters? If the church, which has been considered the leaven, or the one bright light In the world's wickedness, allows its high ofliclals to join with the laity in advocating the sa frELLS OF DOMESTIC TRIALS HVns Driven Almost Craxy, lie Says, And Even Contemplated Suicide As A Relief. The charge that Barbara Lemmert, his Vife, abandoned him to become a follower of Dowie, the self-styled Elijah III, is reiterated by August Lemmert in his answer filed in Circuit Court Xo.

2 yesterday to his wife's cross-bill for divorce. Mr. Lemmert first made the charge when he sued his wife for divorce several months ago on the ground of abandonment. Mrs. Lemmert denied the charge in her answer to Mr.

Lemmert's suit and then applied for a divorce herself, alleging that Mr. Lemmert had been unfaithful. Mr. Lemmert's answer to his wife's cross-bill was filed through Ceorge Forbes. The answer denies Mrs.

Lemmert's assertion thst she had always been a good, true and loving wife. "On many occasions, even before Mrs. Lemmert became a religious fanatic," the answer continues, "she failed to act toward her husband as a good, true and loving wife should." The answer also denies Mrs. Ijemmert's charges that her husband ill-treated her and that he has been unfaithful. Passing to the charge that Mrs.

Lemmert had deserted her husband for Dowie, the answer declares that for six months prior to April 13, 1000. "the period during which she had the Dowie Mrs. Lemmert made her husband's life unbearable. Mrs. Lemmert is charged with so encouraging the local representative of Dowie that he actually entered Mr.

Lemmert's store, and when Mr. Lemmert told his wife to leave the room "the Dowie priest told her she need not obey her husband unless she felt so inclined, as she was a member of Dowie's church and subject to its orders." The answer states, as an evidence of Mr. Lemmert's self-control, that instead of summarily ejecting the intruder he called a policeman, who put the Dowieite out in an orderly manner. It is charged in the answer that after Mrs. Lemmert had promised her husband to give up her Dowie ideas and had written-a letter resigning from that sect, she surreptitiously wrote another letter recalling her resignation.

Mr. Lemmert says he did not discover for two weeks afterward "this deceitful and hypocritical conduct" on the part of his wife, who, "although she had promised to give up these chimerical Ideas of faith-healing, was all the time clandestinely worshiping at the Dowie tabernacle." During their 13 years of married life, the answer declares, the only time when Mr. Lemmert ever took hold of his wife with the Intention of chastising her was when the Dowie priest entered his store. Then, the answer states, Mr. Lemmert did take hold of his wife, hut he refrained from hit-ting her.

His action in that respect, he claims, was most natural and justifiable. Mr. Lemmert also declares in the answer that he sat up all night after the Dowielte's visit, pondering over his wife's conduct and endeavoring to find a way of peacefully settling the trouble. He was almost driven crazy, he declares, and he even contemplated suicide as a relief. Dowielsm is directly charged in the an-ewer with being the cause of Mrs.

Lemmert leaving her husband. The cross-suit is brought, It is alleged In the answer, for the purpose of effecting a money settlement, Mr. Lemmert stating that he believes that 'Mrs. Lemmert's association with 'Elijah III has caused her to imbibe a goodly measure of her preceptor's tendency to appropriate everything in sight." "Vampire-like," Mr. Lemmert says In tonclusion when speaking of his wife's con-duct, "she would 'bleed him and thu3 further handicap his honest endeavor to advance In life." MISMANAGEMENT ALLEGED former Officers Ot PmdentlalBnild-ins And Loan Association Sned.

The expected suit of Enoch Harlan and James II. Freston. receivers of the Prudential Building and Loan Association of Baltimore, against certain former officers of the association to make them liable for certain losses of the association was instituted In the Circuit Court yesterday by John 1 Poe and Enoch Harlan, attorneys. The suit was authorized by the Court on July 22 last upon a petition filed by the receivers. It is against John B.

Levy, Hvland P. Stewart. Henry M. Daniel, Richard H. Levy, John C.

Staley, John M. Dulaney, James Hagerty and John J. Lissner. The petition filed by the receivers last July stated that the association had been grossly mismanaged by Its officers and directors. A statement Issued by the association on December 31.

1902, showed assets and liabilities of $169,643.19. When the receivers took charge on September 9, 1903, the book value of the assets was and of the liabilities $176,149.21. The bill of complaint filed yesterday states that the association was Incorporated November 28, 1896. On November 15, 1898, it is alleged, the books show that the officers of the association had wrongfully and illegally used and expended $1,874.29 more of its funds for expenses than the by-laws permitted. By March 1, 1900, it is also alleged, this sum had swollen to $9,447.99, and by February 4, 1903, to $16,939.93.

When the receivers were appointed, September 9, 1903, it is claimed, the books show that as a result of constant and persistent violation of the br-laws and officers had wrongfully used i ana misappropriated wi expenses more than the by-laws permltted- From the beginning of operations of the association until the receivers were appointed, it is declared, $53,690.31 was authorized to be used for expenses of the corporation, and from February 28, 1898, to the appointment of receivers the amount so allowed was $49,475.39. These amounts, it is claimed, were amply sufficient and could not be lawfully exceeded. The directors and officers of the association, it Is alleged, are responsible for the excess. It is also alleged that upon examining the books the receivers found that the amount in bank on March 1, 1900, was $5,544.48 less than by the cashbook should have been on hand. Under date of July 31.

1903, the receivers find a charge of $16,366.57 for loss in railroad securities, and unfler date of August 5, 1903. a charge of $260 for loss in Texas Pacific. They found no entries showing that such investments had been -vjnade, although they found an entry in the minutes authorizing them. The bill states that Mr. Levy, one of the defendants, told the receivers that he had speculated in margins with the association's funds and they were disastrous.

The bill contains a list of all the officers and directors of the association from its incorporation until the receivership. The defendants are among SEPTEMBER TERM BEGINS a Detective Flannery's Case Is Assigned For Today.

BAILEY FILES ANSWER Explains TUat He Has Not Means To Pay Alimony, Dr.

Alfred Bailey filed his answer in the Circuit' Court yesterday by Howard Ray-ner, attorney, to the petition of his wife, Mattie C. Bailey, asking that Dr. Bailey be attached for contempt of court for not paying Mrs. Bailey $10 a month alimony allowed by the court. Mrs.
