invited to take notice of the advertise
ment of Messrs. Burns & Sloan, lumber
factors, 1872 Light Street wharf, Balti-

THE New FISH HoUsE.--The new
fish house in the hollow below the hill
is the latest sensation. 1t is nearly if
not neatly finished and appears to have
been located and constructed with a
view TO float gracefully at very high
tides and to blow down quickly at the
first Sou'wcster. Persons wishing to
enjoy this sensation should call early.
We withhold the name of the architect
and builder from prudential reasons
1t is dangerous TO have him against YOU
in law suit.

The FLY, ETc.-The fy has attacked
the wheat crop here as well as the to-
bacco beds and in some localities are
proving very DISASTROUS, the present
weather being unusually favorable for
their multiplying and destructive agen-
CIV. Thepotatobug has also come to the
surface, though exactly what for ut
this time and in this latitude, is past
finding out. Certain it is, very few
potatoes are up here yet. Possibly, the
bug we encountered on Friday last was
the arGnt ccnrisr of the coming army
below, sent out as spy, with instruc-
tions to report upon the prospect. This
as il may, he didn't report any and be
won't hurt any body's potatoes hereafter.
Seriously, would it not be well for pota-
to growers to invest in Paris Green
and watering pots at once and prepare
themselves for vigorous fight against
this growing and abominable pest on
its first appearance The first blow
very often decides a battle.

Correspondence ofthe Beacon

AsHlNGToN, apfil 20, 1910.
Belkuap was arraigned on Monday
and entered the plea that must condemn
him more than ever to the contempt
and commiseration of every man. AZ
ter making full confession of the crime
he comes before the Court and has the
I've might almost say effrontery) to en-
deavor to escape conviction by special
pleading. This would do well fer
common thief in Police Court, but is
it manly in our late Secretary Itcer-
tainly evinces desire to save his per.
son harmless at the cost of whatever
honor may yet remain to- him. This
case was postponed from Monday to
Wednesday, and then further, until the
9th of this month.
We have the awfullest of all the aw-
full scandals just coming to light, and
which promises TO cap the very climax.
The White House has actually been Ia
ken BY storm if the testimony already
partly taken can be substantia.ed.
1t is charged that upon the Presi-
dents own order the sum of $4,000
was paid out of the Secret Service fund
to one John J. Davenport, of N. Y, To
be used for election purposes in that
city. This charge is backed up by ex-
Attorney General Williams statement
reluctantly given. that Grant did order
the payment. Whitley testifies to hav-
ing paid it himself. Johnny Daven.
port admits the receipt, but says that
he not only spent the money (properly
of course) but also went in debt for as
much more, though how that helps it
We cannot understand. And last Of all,
the President himself actually confess
es, only think of it, confesses that be
did. t"t, he says confidently, it was all
paid in accordance with law. We will
see how this will turn out, but it GER
tainly looks at present as though Mr.
Grant had received his death blow.
Perhaps he realized the impossibil;ty
of third term when he returned to the
Senate, without his approval, the bill
calling for the reduction of the SALARY
of the President of the United States
i
but his apparently magnanimous inter-
est in his unknown successor is IN
alarming symptom that Ulysses still
dreams feverishly Of another term. He
says chat even the present salary does
not begin to defray the expenses of the
White House-and surely after an ex-
perience of eight years he ought to
know something about it.
The Kilbourn habeas corpus has been
continued until Monday, when Voorhees,
& Eldridge, for the prisoner, will al.
dress the Court. Great interest has
been excited by this case and the de-
cision of the Court is auxiously looked
for. Ii the Judge refuses to surrender
! him to the custody of the Sergeant at.

Lone BRANcH.-It is thought that
Long Branch, the favori,e Summer re-
treat of Republican officials, will not
turn up n success this season. The
President, indeed, will be there, but,
alas without the "wonted number of
his knights" some of hom are ALREADY
in the Missouri Pcnitentiary, while 9TH
ers are on the way or on anxious

"Round Table" has been b,oken up

COL. JAS. o. BRoADHEAD FOR PRESIDENT.
As indications now point, the name of

ted before the National Democratic
Convention to assemble here in June,
as q candidate for the Presidency
His recent prominence before the couu-
ts in breaking up the Whiskey Ring
and his eloquent and fsaSiess argu-
ments in these cases, together with the
recent demonstrations upon his visit to
Washington, point to him as the lead
ing Western candidate. Already his
name has been prominently mentioned
in several of the States-Kentucky
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania Colonel
Broadhead is one of the most distin-
guished lawyers in the West and has
always been the leading spirit in the
Constitutional Conventions of his native
State. His record is without blemish
and his firm stand IN behalf of the
Union renders his name free from any
asrersions of "rebeP' antecedents. He
is the man for the time and will be the
choice of Missouri.

GRANGE AoExcy.-Tbe Executive
Committee Of the State Grange recent
ly appointed Fl. o. Devriesr of Howard
county, State Agent for the sale of oil
farm products raised By members Of the
Order. as well az for the purchase of
all articles needed by farmers, whether
for farm or personal needs. The Agen-
ey is under the supervision Of a SUBJ
committee, composed Of Tbos. +. Shep-
herd, of Carroll, and Gen. Hardcastle, Of
Talbot. We understand that this Agen-
c. has been already well patronized and
promises well in way Of economical
Transaction of the business Of the farm
or. To meet the needs Of the Tobacco
trade, DR.. Geo. N. Dorsey, well and ia
vorably known az skilled cultivator
of this particular product, has been
called from his home in Calvert county
TO take charge of this part of the bust
ness Of the agency as SPECIAL Tobacco
salesman. All who know DIR. Dorsey,
and none know him but to speak well
of him. are very well assured that the
sale of this great staple of Southern
Mary land could scarcely be given into
better hands. The Grange may or n ay
not be the right move for the remova.
Of the difficulties the farmer labors un-
der, but it would lie hard to persuade
the members Of the Order that it is not,
ard certainly they would seem to have
acted most wisely in their selection as
above noticed to provide for the fairest
aud best possible management of To-
bacco shipped 10 the city Of Baltimore.
