A number of married ladies of our
city entertained their friends at a
pleasant leap-year party at Weight
mans hall on Thursday evening OF
last week. About seventy couples
were in attendance and took part in
the dancing and other pleasures Of
the evening, an elegant repast was
served by the ladies in the banquet
room. The ladies played the part of
gentlemen, well such as paying all
bills and so forth.
Read the Journal, always full of
interesting news. One of the grand
est sights the State JOURNAL man
witnessed for many years occurred at
the Mill street church on last Mon.
day evening. The occasion of which
speak was the ladies Of the church.
About thirty of them assembled
themselves together to give a grand
donation TO the church. They met
at the residence of Mrs. Stevenson
Collins on Sunday evening at seven
o'clock and arrayed themselves with
white collars and gloves. When all
had assembled they proceeded to the
church, they entered the door with
Captain J. H. White and Mrs. Jane
Willis leading them, singing that
familiar hymn" We will walk through
the valley in peace After they
marched around the second time they
each deposited a sum of money on
the table and resulted in raising Sill

Palmer preached very eloquent ser
mon on this occasion; he selected
for his text Bring ye the all tithes

1t is painful duty to me to write
you of the death of Mrs. Elizabeth

BILE and kind-hearted disposition, she

devoted friends, who greatly mourn
her loss. She was leading mem

Temperance. The interment took
place on the 25th, from the residence
of her brother, Mr.. Henry Monks.
Webb Union attended in body.
The services were conducted by Rev.
DR.. J. S. Thompson.
Thomas, infant son OF Mrs. Viii
liam H. Middleton, died March %.
This little child had wound itself not
only around the heart of its mother,
but also around the hearts of large
circle of friends, who had the utmost
sympathy for his condition, he having
been sufferer from an incurable
malady. He bore his sufferings with
an heroic fortitude seldom witnessed
in one Of SO tender years. The
mother, in this, her double los, of
both husband and child, has the ten
derest sympathy of our entire com
munity.
I am glad to announce that my

1t is doubtful whether the buildings, the lar

is now certain that the display will be the
finest and most varied covering more indus-
tries than was ever aggregated in one
place not only so, but the display of Curl
osities will far surpaSs those at the Centennial
at Philadelphia in 1876. The success Of this
Exposition has been phenomenal. From what
was originally intended as mere cotton ex-
position, 1t has grown to be an exhibition of
the worlds industries, together with It's arts,
sciences, and great natural and artificial Curl
osities. The people of all civilized countries
seem to be conspiring to make it the Expo
sition of the century. S.B.

Our CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE
Hon. Barnes Compton, our candidate
for Congress, has already spoken at
Annapolis and other places with most
favorable effect, though the campaign
has not yet fairly opened, and is avail
ing himself of every opportunity that
he can to mix and mingle with the peo-
pie and make known to them the
issues Of the campaign. His coming
to our county, Of which he expects to
make thorough canvass, will be duly
noticed in these columns, as will also
the times and places at which he will
address his fellow-citizens. Besides
being a gentleman of purest pub
lie and private record, and most
engaging manners, Mr.. Compton is
known far and near as forcible and
eloquent speaker, and we anticipate
the happiest results from his visit to
aud canvass ofSt. Mary's. Ours is not
~ npaiNvwsf a...os ,....., and without
meaning to disparage Mr. Holton, it
will be admitted, we think, by candid
people, that in a battle of this kind,
he is no match for our candidate. This
as it may, the material point with US
is, that Mr.. Compton is actively and
earnestly at work to redeem the dis.
trict and will continue SO until the
campaign closes. What he wants and
expects and is entitled to have is the
hearty cooperation of his party, and
with this, he has no doubt and has
never had, that the old Fifth will be
redeemed by handsome majority.

ioorrespondence Of the BEACON. !

From all quarters the news comes most
cheering of Frightening prospects, end of an
interest In the campaign that most certainly
assures victory in November. The Republi.
can game of brag has given place to work OF
desperation, as they see the power and con.
troll OF the Government about to slip from
their hands, and on all sides they are vigor-
ously punching up the luke-warm--and
warming up the cold. All efforts seem to be
nnavailing to extort from the department em-
ployees voluntary contributions to the ,ido-
Tense fund" and Father Clapp and General
Raum are just making their rooms blue with
the emphatic expressions which they hurl OF
the heads Of the impassive clerks who draw
their pay regularly on the 18th and last days
of each month and quietly put it In their
pockets.
News at headquarters, especially from West
Virginia, Ohio, and the Northwest, is Of the
most encouraging character, and Democrats
are taking heart and feel that victory, final
and complete, viii be assured in November.
You need not be surprised TO learn that many
States Of the Northwest that have been con-
sidered as hopelessly Republican are now in
the doubtful list, and the prospects more than
fair for their being numbered among the Dem.
ocratio States on the counting of the fall re-
tnras. Information, the most reliable Is TO
the effect that thousands of Ger mans In Wis
consin, Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska
and Illinois who have heretofore voted with
the Republicans, win now vote with the DEM
ocrats, the prohibition question forcing them
from their old affiliations and compelling
them TO act with the party which opposes all
samptuary legislation.
The great work performed by Carl Schurz
In the States Of the Yves, is having its effect,
and every mail brings news of new accessions
Of Germans and scandinavians to the ranks.
All cry Of Wholesale desertion on the part Of
lsishmen Is made for effect. II is true that u
few prominent frishmen have been bought to
support Blaine and Logan, and some have
volunteered, but they are few and far between,
and are made to do duty for the whole Irish
race. Adyices here are to the effect that the
Irish viii be in the future as they have been
10 the past, substantially Democratic and with
the party that has always stood by them both
at home and abroad. II is as natural for 90
irishman % be a Democrat as it Is for him TO
love home country and liberty. They arsas
sirtuous in politics as they are in morals, and
for the latter they are proyerbial.

The DEMAND FOR A CHANGE
There is nothing that we can per-
ceive abnormal or unusual in the fer
mentation now apparent on the sur
face Of American politics. The Drag
and buster to be heard to-day among
professional politicians as to the pros
poets of favorable issue for their re-
spective parties in the coming nation
al trial of strength differ in nothing
or in little from the brag and buster
of former Presidential contests. If
you consult the orators and organs of
republican opinion, the deduction is
inevitable that the election of Mr..
Blaine is q foregone conclusion. If
the democratic prophets be inter-
viewed, the success of Mr.. Cleveland
is as certain and assured as anything
can be that depends upon the future.
Vermont and Maine have just spoken
for Blaine and the Irish are going en-
n'Gsse for him say the republicans.
Arkansaw, retort the democrats, has
proclaimed herself for Cleveland by
forty-four thousand majority and the
Dutch are in open arms for free beer
and reform, We cannot deny if we
would that Vermont and Maine have
gone republican, and certainly there
is no doubt that Arkansaw has gone
the other way. The real wonder is
that anybody outside of lunatic asy-
lum should have expected different
result. As to the Irish story, we
know it to be measurably false, and
webelieve that this people will divide as
they have heretofore divided, the great
majority voting the democratic ticket,
having no cause to do otherwise and
certainly none for supporting Mr..
Blaine. The report from the Dutch
should also. we are afraid. be taken
with some grains of allowance. Very
likely these latter people are for free
beer and free Sunday beer gardens
and resent the action of the republi-
can party towards them in several
States Of the East and West, particu-
larly in Maine and Ohio, but that
they will support Mr.. Cleveland in
anything like solid body. we very
much doubt. However this may be,
they will not support Blaine and this
is democratic advantage. Butler be.
ing now out Of the fight, if he ever
was in it. But if there is nothing alb
normal in political appearances at
