Little Mamie Markwell was one of the pret- tiest and brightest girls in the school about a dren that romped at recese Friday Mamie was one of the happiest. She returned to her desk with ber cheeks glowing from exercise. The children were merry over some happening of their play and the teacher twice commanded order as a titter was heard in the room. At the third manifestation of suppressed merriment two of the culprits were called up by the teacher. One of them was Mamie Markwell and the teacher administered a severe rebuke. Mamie, who had always beena model scholar, felt the disgrace keenly and returned to her seat in tears. She was depressed during the rest of the session and when the school was finally dismissed with her face burning with shame and downcast eyes she hurried home. Her father, Lewis Markwell, was absent at the time and the mother’s effort to learn what was the matter with the child was met with evasive answers, Mamie then retired to her little room up stairs. Upon the father’s return in the even- ing she was called, and, receiving no answer, Mrs. Markwell ascended to the room. The child was lying on the bed, evidently aslecp. The mother endeavored to arouse her. but dis- covering that the little one was a corpse.

The Activity in Real to Local Option. Correspondence of Tur EveNiNe Stax. Rockvitie, March 24, Atnotime in the history of Rockville has there ever been such a boom in the sale of land as now. During the past week Cooke D. Luckett, real estate agent, has sold for E. M. West to Rev. B. W. Bond a building lot in West End for $600; for Mrs. Sarah McCahill to Messrs. Ahern and Cummin of Washington a square of ground on Main street and Forest avenue for 24.000. Mr. Wm. Reading has also sold to Washington Danenhower for a syndi- cate a body of land in tne eastern portion of the town, embracing 2834 acres, for $10,000. This company, composed of Washington capi- talists, have also made proposals for the ad- joiving tract fronting on the railroad and will at once commence the sale of lots, many of which have already been engaged. As an evidence of the greatly increasing value of real estate im this vicinity it may be men- tioned tha: this tract was purchased of Dr, E. E. Stonestreet by Mr. Keading six years ago for $4,000 and he has since realized ¥1 from the sale of lots on it. The sale of lots in West End park is still brisk, and a number of houses will be erected there during the coming season, During the past turee months a large force of men bave been employed in surveying. grading and other work on the Carter farm, adjoining the town. and so far as practicable the new streets will be made to correspond with those of the town. There is a iarge portion of ground for a lake and pleasure grounds, The rise in real estate is apparent all along the line of the Metropolitan brauch of the B. & O. railroad. At Knowles Statiou Mr. C. D. Luckett has sold for Mr. H. H. Wheatley to H. J. Gross of Wash- ington 31 acres of land for $5,500, and for Mrs, Sarah C. Mitehell to R. T. Pettit 166 acres for $15,000. A few veurs ago the average price of land along the line of the Metropolitan Branch railroad was about $15 per acre, In the circuit court during the past ten } the fullowing cases have been tried: KR.

The weather-crop bulletin of the signal office says that the week ending March 22 was warmer than usual except in the south Atlantic states aud on the Pucitie coast, where the tempera- ture was slightly below the normal. The thermal conditions for the season, from Janu- ary 1 to March 22, show that the average daily temperature over the greater portion of the country east of the Mixsissippi river aud | throughout the southwest has been from four ! — to six degrees higher than usual, while | # deficiency in temperature exists in the ex- treme northwest. where the winter has been much colder than usual. During the week there was an exces of rainfall along the At- Jantic coast from North Carolina to Maine and { eperally throughout the Obivo valley and west- ern Arkansas and the west portions of Nebraska and the Dakotas. The rainfali continues in ex- cess on the Pacific coast. The cold wave in the early part of the week did considerable dam- age to vegetation m the south Atlantic states, although the latter part of the week was favor- able for farm wor In the middie Atlantic states heavy raius retarded farm work, although winter grain is reported im good condition. “in New York the rainfall was less than usual, but the weather was favorable to grass and grait and while grapes are reported as having win- tered weil. peaches and plums have been in- ured in the northwest portion of the state. he growing season has uot yet opened in New ffs.

TIME TO CALL A HALT. . Instead of opening new lands to settlement, which would add abnormally to the overpro- duction, the time has come to call a halt. The proposed scheme for reclaiming the arid region taay be a wise proviso for the distant future, ut no abnormal stimulant should be applied to the actual development of really new lands until the census of 1900 shows that agriculture has fully adjusted itself to the new conditions imposed upon it by the mushroom progress of the past quarter of a century, Let the popu- lation catch up with production. Let the com- paratively small area of public land still unset- tled be held in reserve. Let the now unworked but cultivated areas in the various states be re- settled. For the next decade this will afford an abundance of cheap lands to our own increase and such immigration as it is wise to foster. JUST DIVISION OF PUBLIC BURDENS, Let the farmer, meanwhile, see to it that he bears only his just proportion of the public burdens, Let him secure the home and foreign market for his own productions in such man- ner that the supply aud the quality shall govern prices, rather than the dictates of any combin tion. ‘Such a policy, wisely administered, should make agriculture not ouly the most honorable, but, in a modest way. the most surely remuner- ative of all occupations. ‘To effect this change demands not only better farming—better crops at less cost, better sales at greater profits—but the earnest fultiliment by the farmer of those political duties that are’ demanded of the citi- zen by every instinct of patriotism. The sound integrity, sturdy common sense and the clear and sober judgment of an intelligent yeomanry were never more needed in public affairs, see HARTINGTON AND THE DUCHESS. Years of Friendship Which May Now Result in Marriage, Special Cabie Dispatch to the New York Times. ‘The death of the duke of Manchester, although it occurred in Naples yesterday after- noon, only became known here late today, and the news came through such roundabout chan- nels that the papers for a time discredited it. The duke himself was merely an amiable and rather limited old gentleman, whose domestic afflictions induced wholesale sympathy, from expressions of which he escaped only by a very cluded life, but his death creates a lot of in- teresting food for gossips. First of all, it elevates to the ducal rank that ignoble and scrotulous little loafer, Lord Man- deville, who will be by far the worst thing in dukes that even England ever saw. Next it makes another American duchess in the person | of the lady who deserved a kinder fate. Most interesting of all, it makes a widow of that arkable woman, the duchess of Man- ment all who saw her that her son, Mandeville, was indubita- bly born in 1853, but the Almanac de Gotha says she was born in January, 1832, which would make her eighteen montis older than eighteen years younger than this nobleman, with whose name hers has been so long asso: ted in everybody's mind, Their close friend- ship and mseparable companionship is one of the most familiar of modern English romances, For years no one hes dreamed of inviting one of them to a country house or a tgwn house without the other, and it is rfectly under- | stood that Lord Hartington has remained a bachelor all these decades oa her account. Although the daughter of a Hanoyerian noble, she seems the most typical English lady of the hunting and racing kind to be found in the kingdom, All England witl now be in a tremor of curios to see whether she and Lord Hart- ington will marry.

A San Francisco special to the New York World says: There is almost as much excite- ment among sporting men here over the McAuliffe-Carroll affair as there was before the fight. The majority of men who lost money on Carroll acknowledge McAuliffe’s superiority. From a retrospective view of the fight it seems that the belief that McAuliffe was “pulled” is not altogether wrong. During the latter part of the fight he appeared wenk on his legs and while he did take some hard punishment he pretended to be hurt much more than he was.

Car- roll’s followers naturally became enthusiastic andoffered all manner of odds against McAuliffe, The careful observer noticed that Dick Roche, Jim Davy afd the other New Yorkers quietly accepted ce many of these wagers as they could without attracting tog much attention, How much money they won altogether may never be known, but in one-dollar bills it would certainly fill a couple of tubs, McAubiffe’s “phenomenal rally in the forty- sixth round, when everybody except Dempsey, Madden and the others near Jack's corner, per- haps, expected to see him put to sicep, is cei tainly oue of the most remarkable occurrences in the history of San Francisco club fighting. ‘This man, in‘one round staggering and appar rently all but done for, jumps up a minute later fresh and strong and goes at his opponent like a bu'i at a red handkerchief, kuocking bim out practsca.ly with two Liows, An uausual thing, to be sure. Billy Madden said tonight: “It looked pretty blue for us at one stage of the argument, but | We pulled through a'l right.” Roche wouldn't say whether or not McAuliffe was “pulled,” but it is known that he kept putting out his money in hundreds antil the very last. The impres- sion here is that Roche had a bank behind him, Both Carroll and McAuliffe are pretty badly cut np. Carroll's lefteye is closed and badly dis- colored and his nose is badly beut.

A Chinese Maiden’s Present to Her Ce- lestial Lover, A few days ago one of the great men in the Mott street Chinese colony paid a visit toa brother celestial in Lexington, Mass., and while there he espied a diamond sparkling on the neck of Hop Ling. one of the assistants in the local laundry, and after looking closely at it pronounced it worth $7,500 and purchased it for that sum. Hop Ling ten years ago was in love with a girl name Ku Ku, the only daughter of Tip Ah Lee. This occurred in Pekin. The maiden’s father frowned upon their love. Not long afterward Hop's parents migrated to America; before they departed from the Celes- tial city the lady had one last fond farwell in- terview with her lover, at the close of which ‘Ku Ku gave Hop the diamond. Hop was as- tonished when told the value of the bright stone and promptly accepted the offer that was made for it, and in so doing he was not so faith- | less as might seem, for the maiden Ku Ku is now a wife in her native land and Hop was morally free from his obligation.

A special to the New York Herald from New Orleans says a negro has received justice from an organization composed exclusively of south- ern menof the most pronounced type. The Continental guards righted a wrong which they considered had been done to their negro armorer, Gilbert Jones, at the hands of Lieut. Cottom, one of the most popular and wealthy members of the command. About a week ago a gold watch and some money were stolen from Lieu’. Cottom’s vest which he had left in the dressing room while drilling. The lieutenant, without investigation, had Jones and another negro arrested and kept in jail on suspicion of being the thieves. Two days later the real thief was arrested, ee props rty recovered and the two negroes released. Lieut. Cottom’s tellow officers suggested to him that te should publish a card in some of the city papers exonerating Jones from blame in the matter, but this he positively refused to do after icpeated requests, hence his expul- sion from the guards, The Largest Driving Belts in the World.

Special guards were appoinied yesterday, They will sit in the corridor in front of Birchell’s cell and keep constant watch over him. He expects Mrs. Birchell and her father to visit him today.

The document is witnessed by William Fraser Overton. express agent of the city of Tucson, Ariz., and is exe- cuted by Thomas HI. Borton, the notary public of the same place. The document transfers Pickthall’s land and property to his wife, who will now be in a position to dispose of the same and meet whatever liabilities he has.

Worden of Crawford county, Ohio, who was killed a few days ago by being run over by an engine on the Erie railroad, was the sixth sheriff of that county to meet asudden and violent death makes interesting the details of the unpar- alleled fatality which has followed every sheriff of that county for the past three decades, ‘The first sheriff to meet a tragic fate was W. C. Beal, who was elected to the office in 1853, and after serving out his time was killed by being run over by a locomotive near Bucyrus in 1863. His successor was Jonathan Franz, who was chosen to fill the place at the general election in 1857, and twelve years thereafter, in 1869, suddeniy dropped dead on the street at Bucy- rus. The next man to fill the office was John Kissinger. who was elected in 1861, and was also killed by being run over by a train near Bryan, in Williams county, in 1871. L. Keplinger took charge of the office in and, after having served his time out, was thrown from his sulky to the ground by a run- away horse and sustained injuries which re- sulted in his death at his home in Bucyrus in the year 1869. Keplinger’s successor, James Worden, who was elected in 1867 and’ held the office tor two ears, sustained injuries from a failing wall rom Which he never fully recovered and died, as a result of the accident, at Galion in 1875. — . ‘o- Killed by Nitro Glycerine.
