Announcements Extraordinary.

HARTFORD. AHEAD.-The Prince Georgian
says: "Our sister county Of st. Mary's has
always heretofore borne off the palm for a
multiplicity of candidates for Office but
she will have to pass the brag to our en-
terprising neighbors of Hartford, who have
46 candidates announced for the different
offices, whilst St. Mary's only shows SO as
far as heard from. As the race now stands,
Hartford is IS ahead"
Hour contemporary fails to do full Justice
20 Hartford. She has about SO candidates
inthe field, at this time, instead of the IN
significant number 46.-Ed. sgis. - -
Quite so, brother, but then old st. Mary,s
goes for the belt in gay style and with a
sure claim when she filings out her dexter
and points to the classics of her announce
ments. What, for instance, could bemore
elegant and captivating than this:
"Capt. James May, of ST. Inigoes' dis
trict, ian honorary member Of the Grand
Army of the Republic Gen. A. E. Burn
side, COMMANDMENT chiefly is presented to
the voters of the county for Commissioner. :"
Now that is terrible. "An honorary
member of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, Gen. A. E. Burnside, Commander-in-
chief" wants to be County Commissioner
In st. Mary's. We don't know what an
honorary membership conferred by the
grace Of Grand Humbug and command
ed by a. General failure, has to do with
beinga st. Mary's County Commissioner
Besides, this ambitious Capt. May (cap-
tain of -'0The Lousy Sue" or other oyster
sloop perhaps) doesn't tell us whether he
is white or black; but, Judging from his
Grand Army Alterations, we guess he's
black. And now, In the Beacon too, and
for the Senate of Maryland, comes one
Henry Butler, las man true and full, in
the Republican faith and not as one in his
own conceit." Henry sings a very tune
full ditty, but Henry can hardly tell us
what that means. Life is too short and
our consideration for readers is too great
to deal more extensively in these st. Mary's
Literary gems. Before election day we ex-
pect to see 6eGconed for office in St. Mary's,
Bill Brown, the prayerful youth or the
pious lark; some; ONE of the Jones family,
as the bully boy with the glass eye; and
it may be, who knows, Old Moses, as the
anomalous Israelite In whom there is NO
guile. Hartford, look at the st. Mary's
Beacon candidate columns again and dry
up with your funny fifty-nine

Booker, the President of the Stat

"a Booker, the President of the State
Convention of eelored men OF Ohio, said
he regarded it unfortunate for his people
that "the party which made them voters
might feel that it had right to expect
their cooperation" They not only expect
but demand that cooperation. In this
matter no liberty is allowed the colored
man. In the South he is mobbed, beaten,
perhaps killed if votes against the Rad
ical party. -

He certainly claims to have annexed the

Education of the Deaf and Dumb.

The next session of the Maryland Insti-
tuition for the Education of the Deaf and
Dumb will commence on Wednesday, Sep
TENDER 3rd, and close on Wednesday, June
Gath, when all pupils will return to their
homes for the vacation. Applicants are
received between the ages of nine and
twenty-one. 1t is very desirable, however,
that all should enter young, for two reasons,
first, young pupils make the most rapid
progress, and secondly, longer period of
instruction is received.
The Institution is practically free, since
those who are unable to pay are admitted
free of charge, upon presenting the proper
certificate.
The form of application and any desired
information in regard to the deaf and
dumb, may be obtained by addressing the
Principal of the Institute for the Deaf and
Dumb, Frederick City, Md.

LOCAL MATTERS.

1t will be seen by the notice elsewhere
that the Festival for the benefit of the
Church in William and Mary Parish, has
been postponed till Wednesday, the 10th Of
September. The long continued rain, which
threw domper upon the praise-worthy
enterprise, and the.late obstruction to tray
el by railroad, are mentioned as causes
that necessitated the postponement. We
hope the ladies will find encouragement in
great success.

Three or four weeks ago, in a neighbor-
ing county, two men stopped at the houses
of several farmers, pretending they wanted
to establish township libraries, which were
to be kept at the farmers house, and the
books to be furnished free of cost. They
called on a wealthy farmer and asked him
to take charge of the library, if he would,
they then asked him to write his name
on a piece of paper which was to be sent
to the County Auditors. These slips of
paper the rascals took and afterwards
wrote promissary note above the sigma
ture for sums ranging between $50 and
$50, payable in sixty days, and signing
any name they pleased. These notes were
afterwards discounted at bank. People
ought to be on their guard and watch such
smooth-tongued villians.-Rockoite Se'ati-

The Execution Of Two COIOred Men.
The two colored men, James West and
Levin Palmer, were executed Friday last,
in accordance with their sentence of death,
the one at Towsontown, Baltimore county,
and the other in the Jail yard of Baltimore
city. West suffered the extreme penalty
of the law for the murder, five months ago,
of the woman with whom he had lived as
his wife, having confessed the crime. He
died protesting the faith and receiving the
last rites of the Catholic Church.
Palmer's crime was the rape of Mary
Sengie, a young German woman, whom he,
in company with VIM. Pritchard previ-
ously hanged for the same offense, waylaid
in Baltimore county, near the city limits,
in August, 1870, and outraged, at the same
time beating nearly to death, with brass
knuckles, her aged protector. Having
once escaped the clutches of the law after
arrest with Pritchard, he was recaptured,
and now, three years after the commission
of the deed, has suffered death, having con-
fessed the crime. He died protesting re-
ligion through the instrumentality of the
Methodist Church. Both executions were
characterized by quiet and expedition
Neither of the criminals made speeches
from the scaffold. In the State there is
now only one other man under sentence OF
death; that is Joseph Davis, for the muir
der of Abraham Lynn, in his mill, in Car
roll county, who has had two trials, with
refusal of the Court of Appeals for the
third, and now awaits the action of the
Governor assigning the day for execution.

sWThe Wawaset Investigation was
concluded last Friday, and the inspectors
are expected to report within a week.
The testimony taken Thursday was main
ly presented by the officers of the compa-
ny to show that the reduction of the num-
Der of passengers which the steamer was
allowed to carry from $50 last year to so,
was done through mistake, and that both
the inspectors and the officers of the boat
believed it had been corrected. The evil
dence of the two firemen of the steamer
makes it reasonably certain that the fire
originated in the overheated wood parti-
lions near the boiler and between the
decks.
~ The storm that passed over part
of England on Sunday last of frightful Sc
verify. The wind and the lightning are
described as appalling. A complete panic
seems to have prevailed in the districts
over which the storm passed. Many per-
sons were killed by the lightning, and
many buildings took fire from the same
cause Childerly Hall, near Cambridge,
historically connected with the reign of
Charles /, was struck by lightning and
burned to the ground.

There is a young man in this county who
is remarkable for his filial affection. He
doesn't like to visit his mother, however,
unless he does so in handsome buggy
Not having one of his own, he often, very
often, calls upon his accommodating neigh
Dor for the loan of his. Lo, and behold
it wasn't his mother he was going to see
so frequently, as he always said, but some
body's pretty daughter. The truth was
found out, and now that accommodating
young neighbor won't lend that buggy to
that mother-loving young man any more.

The Black Mans Party.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore San says:
A new departure has been taken by a
number of the colored voters here in the
organization of an association designed to
forward the special claims of colored men
for pablie office. Leading white Radicals
here have christened the new movement
the black mans party, and denounce it
with great .vehemence. Meanwhile the
movement is said to be making great head
way among the colored Citizens
This new departure has called forth
some severe structures too from the Repu6gi-
can the acknowledged Administration Or
gan, and what it says about ''the ambi-
tionsi schemers," Selfish interests, !" "tools,' p
Sec cannot fail to open the eyes of the ne
grosa little wider and provoke broad
grin}on Democratic visages. The Repu6-
keqn says:
"The ambitious schemers who are the
head of the movement are simply endeavor-
ing to use their colored brethren for the
advancement of their own selfish interests,
andwe warn the colored people of the Dis
trict that they cannot afford to be made
the tools of this faction of disconnected
disurganizers.. The colored people of this
city have made wonderful progress social
ly, materially and politically. We desire
to see them make still greater progress
But it cannot be done through any such
agency as this Equal Rights League

THE INDoMITABLE OLD PARTY.-The
Democratic party, says the Albany Argus,
cordially invites the earnest cooperation
of all who agree with it with regard to the
duty of tie present The sentiment of the
people is unbroken. It's spirit is known
to be indomitable Association with it is
the surest means of success. Around it's
standard all can rally. To its creed all
can appeal. Its power, its prestige, and
its traditions can be invoked by all. The
situation demands the unity and consoli-
dation of all forces opposed to the Admin
istration, and agreeing upon the true poll
cy and methods.of government. While
coalitions are repugnant to the people, the
solid element of masses thoroughly united
in purpose and desire, is fully approved,
and source of unbo dnded encouragement

The LGscs for the Protection Of Came
AS the laws for the protection of par
tridges, pheasants and woodcock in this
State, appears to be misunderstood to some
extent by portion of the press, and erro-
neous statements have recently been made
on the subject, the following is given by
way of correction. The public general law,
article So, as amended by the act of 1862,
chapter 43, provides that no person shall
trap, shoot, or in any manner catch or kill
any cartridges between January 18th and
October Goth; nor any woodcock between
the first of February and June 10th nor
pheasants between February 1st and Au-
gust 18th, in each year, under penalty of
SIS for each offense. Any person keeping
a tavern, restaurant, or eating house, or
any marketman, who shall expose for sale
or have in his possession any partridge,
woodcock or pheasant between the times
within which the killing of such birds is
forbidden, shall pay fine of S. for each
offense. The fines in both cases are to be
recovered before justice of the peace, and
paid over to the county commissioners for
the use of the common school fund.-Bal-

HRThe Baltimore american, on the
Goth instant reached the respectable age
of one-hundred years, and celebrated the
anniversary by rare display of enterprise,
which is no doubt highly appreciated by
its many readers. 1t issued on that day
a fac sinaile of the first number of''The Mary
land Journal and the Baltimore Advertis-
err" published by W. Goddard. On the
18th of May, 1899, the name Of the Journal
was changed to that of "The Baltimore
American and Daily Advertiser" and sub
sequently to "The Baltimore American
and Commercial Advertiser" The Aneri-
can issued also, on the goth instant, sup
plement to its regular edition, containing
a map of Baltimore century ago and
many interesting historical facts connect
ed with the growth of the city. We es-
TEEN the american frst-class journal
speaking from business point of view,
for politically we do not accord with it.
There are some interesting and well-writ-
ten articles in the old Journal, and, as use
full for present reading, we commend the
following extract to all fashionable ladies:
CON THE SIMPLICITY OF DREss.-From
late publication. That plain dress is
the best ornament of beautiful woman, /
had lately most convincing proof. The
neatness of daughter of that religious
sect called Quakers, in one of the public
walks, caught my eye-never was inno-
cence and elegance more sweetly pourtray-
ed. But when 1 had an opportunity of
beholding her face, my establishment and
delight were inexpressible. Her complex
ion was lovely, her eyes sparkling, her
teeth and lips such as Reynolds only can
imagine, and her smile an emanation of
divinity. I contemplated her person with
pleasure till then unknown, and should
have pronounced her the most finished
work of Heaven, but that it occurred to
me, that many of my fair country-women
appeared inferior to her, from only not
being satisfied with what Heaven had
made them-tortured hair, superiority
ofribands, idle gems, &c. &C., were, though
meant for so many additions, only SO many
disadvantages to them, by preventing the
eye from judging rightly of their charms,
or indeed beholding them through the
happiest of all mediums-the medium of
simplicity. In short, am convinced that
some Deity, in his wrath, suffered them to
be betrayed into this dressing folly; from
which most heartily wish that some SEN
them. A LOVER OF NATURE"
