Tho Death Of CHARLES Bea.t.n

In the death OF Charles BeAsten at

lost citizen whose lie and character
were without reproaeh. In the beat Of
health, suddenly smitten, the shock to
his friends and the community is unex-
pected and severe. As good man has
gone, retrospect, save Its sad neoessity i,
has no unpleasant task in dealing with a
memory fragrant with proud and
honorable record. Born over 40 years
ago on Bohemia Manor, Cecil county,
Maryland, his life was spent from an
early boyhood In Delaware, the State OF
His adoption, by beginning a residence
In Middletown, which was continued and

Q. Spruanoe. oe.-Ba(timore Morning Herald.
Looked at from aim 1st any stand point
the action Of Friday ia a cause for
rejoicing, both for what 1t prevented and
for what 1t accomplished. 1t gives the
state senator of positive convictions,
free from local or factional obligations,
ard Democrat on the tar # issue as ali
others. In fact, Judge Wilson's election
means that the bosses were so divided
that none Of them got what they wanted,
and, therefore, the people of Maryland
secured for United States senator a
man Of proven ability, untarnished
character and political uprightness, and
moreover, a sound Democrat who really
represents their views on living issues,
and would have put them right before
the country by voting for Carlisle had he
been member OF the present House of
Representatives. Well done, servants u
the people; "good and faithful" for once
at least May You not weary In well
doing, and may all your acts be such as
the honorable man you have chosen for
