A meeting of stockholders of the Boyden Brake Company was held yesterday to con-eider the decision or Judge Morris in tbe patent suit witb the Westinghouse Air Brake Company. It appears that three claims of the patent were aliened to be infringed, and Judge Morris in bis recent decision holds that tbe Boyden Company does not make' use of an auxiliary valve, "notwithstanding the very positive testimony of complainants experts," and the decision sustains the Boyden Company's position as to two claims and the Westinghouse Company's position as to one claim. The stockholders were advised that tbe unfavorable decision of tbe court on the one claim is based on the Judge's view of the law as applied this case, and tbat this circumstance will greatly simplify the presentation of the case to tbe higher court. Five-sixths of tbe stock was repre-seated and it was unanimously decided to take an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals. CARLILE'S POLITICS.

Professor Winchester's Third Lecture i On the Victorian Writers. Thomas Carlyle's Ideas of history Ad politics were discussed yesterday by Prof. C. T. Winchester in the third lecture of his Donovan course on "Victorian Writers," at McCoy Hall, John Hopkins University.

He said among other thintrs: "One chief reason of Carlyle's cynical temper in bis later years was the fact that men generally did not aocept bis ideas of 'politics and continued to get along very well in tbeir government. It is hard to keep your equanimity when you see the mass of men march cheerily past you in good-natured indifference to your pet theory, for Car-lyle bad a theory of government, and the world seemed inclined to alio bim a monopoly of it. You will not find his theory drawn out anywhere in terms, but I think it might be about as follows: I believe that the great mass of mankind are, and always will be, stupid or vicious, or both. 'I believe, therefore, that the less they havs to do with government the better, and that all democratic tendencies are tendencies devilward. I believe, however, that this crude may be drilled into steady, unquesiionine obedience, which for them is the prime virtue.

"1 believe, of course, that this drilling must be done by masters, leaders; hence, that the hero is the one perennial need of man, and strength the essen tial virtue of government. 'And I believe, lastly, that the work of gov erning being the work of individuals, we can never hope from much good from Parliament and such merely deliberative bodies, decision being a virtue of individuals and not or bodies of It is rather too late in tbe century to waste time in talking of such a theory of government as this. We all know that given ten fools it is bard to educe wisdom from their united action. We know that in every political society yet devised the majority of men are sure to be neither saints nor sages. But, then, what shall we do about about it? Sit down and wait till Providence shall see fit to send a hero wbo may put things into order and meanwhile curse till he comes? That seems to have been pretty nearly Car lyle's programme in bis later years.

That country is best governed which is governed by its best men that is a truism. But how to find your best man. Carlyle ararues that it is tretting useless to look for him in kinir's houses heroic stuff is scarce among royal families for some generations back. Carlyle never would see that it is pre cisely tbe virtue of popular government that opens the road of power to the men best fitted to use power. Democracy is govern ment by popular opinion, and public opinion, though it may now ana men ncline its long ear to the demagogue.

tbouarh it may not know very well how to get the right things done, can generally be trusted to know in the long run what the riirht things are and to applaud and elect the men who do know bow to do them. Somehow you must decide who are to be your rulers that is the ultimate problem of government, and it is tho just claim of democracy tbat you may more safely trust this decision to tbe people than to hand over the rule to any family or any class. 'Democracy has its dangers, doubtless. We shall not have to look far away from borne to see them, and it 1b doubtless true also, as Carlyle was always urging, that every extension or tne sunrage increases these dangers because it tends to increase the proportion of ignorance and discontent amoog ihose who have the power of the ballot and among those who are elected by it. I will not venture to suggest any com parison too near home, but 1 think it alto gether probable that the average Intelli gence and character of the membership In tbe British House of Commons is lower to day than it was forty years ago, and tbe fre quent outbursts of mean prejudice and un manly violence in the popular chambers or France and Italy must make any lover of free government sometimes tremble for lis stability.

But we must find our assurance for the safety of good government the world over today just where Carlyle looked for its destruction in the people, the people as a collective whole, wake to tbeir privileges and tbeir duties. As Talleyrand used to say, Tbere is a personage that has more sense than Napoleon, more wit than Voltaire, Monsieur or, as our own Lin coln used to put it, in homlier phrase. 'You can fool all of tbe people some of the time. and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the But Carlyle never really respected the people. He pitied them: be did not trust them.

His creed was wrong in its first article. And to commit tbe government to a majority told off by the head, a majority in which Je-us and Judas had equal might, tbat seemed to bim to be simple madness. OBITUARY. David Bamberger. Mr.

Farewell concert Here.

The Sutro Sisters wear well. The novelty of tbeir ensemole performances bas in a measure worn off, but the interest in their work is steadily increasing and forma a trib ute that is far deeper tban any mere novelty could inspire. The last recital of tbe sisters in Baltimore before leaving for a two years' stay in Europe attracted a large audience to Harris's Academy Coucert Hall last night, and the listeners enjoyed from first note to last a programme that was notable for Its breadth and varitty. Tbe first number was an Andante and variations, opus 46. by Schumann, a forcible work and requiring the broad rendering1 of its intricate development which the sisters were able to give it.

Then came a delightfully sinoere and earnest interpretation of Mozart's minor fugue, followed by an An- dantiuo and Scberzettino by that graceful. melody-loving woman. C. Cbaminade, whose works have a fanciful turn quite irresistible. The sentiment and delicacy which coarao-terizo tbe compositions were brouirbt out with au expressiveness tbat was remarkable when it was taken into consideration tbat two players and two minds were producing the effecrs that were as strongly marked by unity and sympathy as tbey were free from a suggestion of mechanical effort.

Tbe next number was Reinecke's "La Belle Griselidis." the theme of wbicb is an old French folksong. It was given with poetic appreciation of its quaintness as well as of Reinecke's interesting instrumentation. Brucb's fantasic, opus 11, was vigorously played, and was followed by a splendid ren dering of Brabms's numerous and difficult variations on a theme by Haydn, transcribed for two pianos by tbe composer himself from his orchestral work. A fitting finale to the concert was Liszt's own transcription of bis symphonic poem. "Les Pre-udes." Taken all in all tbeir playing is honest, legitimate clean.straight- forward interpretation of the composers' thoughts.

NOT READY BY APRIL 1. The Tlmo for Opening the Belt Tunnel Postponed. ITS CONSTRUCTION Is" COMPLETED. Bat Telny 1 Canned by the Arrtnc. meat of ttom OvtrhMd Electrical qulptnut To Turned Over to the 11.

Orders were sent about ten days ago to the contractors tor the overhead worlc that thev must finish It and vacate tbe tunnel by April In reply the contractors said It would he Impossible to comply with the ordor and asked a little more time. They were then irlven a week lonirer In which to finish. It Is now said that the road will ocr-talnly be ready for freight trufflo by April 10. in erecting the overhead electrical equipment a hand-car. wlileh ocouples the tracks at all times.

Is necessary. It is this occupation of tbo tracks In tbo tunnel which makes It Impossible to Qpeu It at present for general use. lftltimore and Ohio officers aro anxious to have the tunnel and the whole Beit Koad used for freight service at once, as this wlil relieve tbe transports to and from Locust Point and Canton and give better and quicker serviot to passenger tralus between Mew York and Baltimore. It Is not Intended to open the tunnel for passenger travel until the electrloal service Is ready for uscj. This la because the pub 1c has been Informed that the trips of passenger trains over the underground route will be made without the Inoonvenleoce resulting from the dust and nanus which accumulate from steam locomotives.

It is said that if puaaenirer trains are run through tbe tunnel by locomotives which create these gases. It would be a disappointment to travelers, who have been led to expect better servloe. Jn consequence the underground branch will not be opened lor passenger service before May 1. With freight trains the Inoonvenlonce from (rases and smoke will be felt only by the train hands. It Is desirable to get the improved frelaht service la operation early to relieve the passenger trains from delay in creasluir the fatauseo ferry.

It was on June 28, 1776, that tbe Convention of Maryland Instructed its delegates In tbe Continental Congress to vote for tbe Declara tlon of Independence, which had been intro duced on tbe 7th of June by Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia. "Tbe meaning of our State's motto, 'Manly deeds, womanly words, said Mrs.

Ritchie, in making the suggestion, "has always seemed to me to be of especial significance, Maryland's gallant soldiers and wise states men have ever been willing to do herolo deeds without talking about them, and it seems to me that it Is we women who ought to do tbe talking and make tbeir glory im mortal. Let all tbe chapters of the Daugh ters of tbe American Revolution In this State unite in some fitting observance of the anniversary of June 28, 1776." Mrs. Ritchie's paper was devoted in part to a sketch of some of tho prominent events in Mary.and's colonial history from the grant ing of the charter to Lord Baltimore in 1632 down to tbe days of the Revolution. Mrs. Putnam, State regent of the sooiety in Iowa, and Miss Janet Richards, of Washing ton.

PARISIAN NOVELTirS. Latest Tailor-MttUe suit for Ladies- Silk Lining Elbow Sleeves. Among the handsome Paris importations shown at tbe spring ooenlng yesterday of a I nd i 08' tailor establishment a novelty in tailor-made suits was a blue silk gowu, with satin-striped seams and a white satin blouse, aud was made with all the severity and trig-ness of a cloth tailor suit. Tbe latter are in cheviot and plaid checks, with bright-colored linings of tilk. Tbe silk lining, by tbe way, is an important part of the new gowns and also an important item In i be expense.

The olden time way of having silk for the outward and visible part, and linen for the inward and invisible part has' been, in many or the gowns, exactly reversed, for the finest silk forms tbe lining of grass linen and batiste gowns, as well as of clotb, silk, net and grenadine costumes. Tbe rustling that accompanies every movement of tbe wearer and also the ooo.isional glimpse of its delicate or bright color make tbe silken lining a charming finish. Tbe skirts are from five and one-half to eight yards wide, and are stiffened with Frenoh haircloth that makes them stand out In heavy folds. In gowns by Worth, Paquin, Doucet and other Parisian dressmakers tbe tremendous puffed sleeve stops at the elbow, even-in the street dresses, leaving the lower part of tbe arm to be covered with long suede gloves. As tbe waists are all loose blouses the belt interesting one.

Some of tbe blouses meree gracefully into tbe skirts by a graceful adjustment of the two; soma have fancy girdles, and a new material is a shining gold or silver bolting, which makes a lovely touch in any costume.

About the same time August Sbelleberg, watchman at Wiessner's brewery, saw smoke coming from the cooper shop and sounded an alarm from box 28. Tbe building was of frame and extended back about one hundred feet to Chester street. It contained several hundred new beer barrels which were destroyed. No.

C. Shafer, was destroyed by Are early this morning. Two alarms were sounded from box 48. A number of other fires, which oaused slight damage, called out the men and ap paratus of the department. Tbe high winds which prevailed during tbe day caused three false alarms of fire to be turned in.

The first was at 7.30 A. M. from box 485, at the crossing of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad and the Frederic road. It was due to a dead wire being blown across wires of tbe fire-alarm telegraph and a live electric-light wire. The other two alarms were trom box 12, at the corner of Baltimore and Gay streets.

Both of them were sounded in the early afternoon, and were caused by a dead wire falling across fire-alarm wires and then striking a trolley wire. Mr. Charles J. McAleese set a number of linemen promptly to work clearing away the dead wires and testing the different circuits to see that the alarm boxes were working satisfactorily. THE M'AFEE MEDAL.

Enjoyed by Undertakers and Their Guests at the Rose House. A merry party of undertakers from Baltimore and other cities did Justice to an excellent supper last nlglit at tbe Rose House, on North Gay street. Tbe menu was not tho usual one for a supper by any means, lor three of tbe expert cooks of tbe Beefsteak Club of Baltimore were there in all the glory of their white aprons ani cooked a meal that was fit for a prince. Dublin ham and "Irish hailstones and spuds" were among tbo earlier courses, but the triumpus of the evening were the beefsteaks and the mutton chops, the last of whioh came from the Southdown flock in Druid Htil Park. These were cooked in gas stoves, acoordlng to the method always used by the Beefsteak Club, which consists in having the flame in tbe top of the stove, with a drip pan beneath the shelf on which'tne meat ia placed, to catch the essence as it drops.

Tbe steaks were-nearly all tender loins, and the diners were required to eat them, as well as the chops, with tbeir fingers, unaided by knife or lork. A big towel was used in plaoe of a napkin by each party. The disposition of the chops was made easy by cutting tbe meat as to leave a piece of tbe bone to be used as a handle. The cooks were Thomas F. McNulty.

Capt. William McAllister and William F. Bannon. The dinner was the quarterly reuuioa of theHuzleton Survhors' Association, which was formed seven years ago by one hundred undertakers who were present at a meeting of the Funeral Directors' Association of Pennsvlvania.held at Huzleton, in that State.
