The Washington Evening Stars special
from Buffalo gives an interview with Mr.
James N. Matthews, editor of the Buffalo
Express, in which he says:
al am very hopeful that Mr.. Blaine will
carry the state. think he will have major
ity of from $4,000 to $4,000. will be NOR,
surprised if 1t goes below $4,000 thin above
$4,000. have no figures on the probable in
dependent vote in Buffalo, but am satisfied i,
will be small. The claim of tho ind pendent
committee that they have 60, 600 names enrolled
in the state is like the declaration of some
young men here that they would get 40C
prominent Buff alo republicans to sign paper
vindicating Cleveland's character. They got
sixteen names. That, l think, will be about
the ratio of the independent vote for Cleve
land to the claims of the leaders The inde.
pendent vots will be moro than offset by the
Irish detection from the democrats. l have
yet to meet an 1rishman who Is not at heart
for Blaine While | do not meet many,

| think the Catholic hierarchy is for
Blame. We will carry Buffalo, which gave
Cleveland about 5000 for governor, by
Mt least 1000. The county gave Cleveland
1900, but Blaine will get it by 3,0JO.

Over Depot Project.
President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
railway, appeared at special meeting of the
senate district committee yesterday and pre-.
sented his views relatiN to Senator Germans
steam railways through this city. Mr..
Roberts opposed the plan Of running the
tracks of both companies on Virginia
and Maryland avenues, holding that
the space allotted to each was in
sufficient. He said that the Baltimore and
Potomac company had no more track facili-
ties than were necessary, and any abridgement
also protested against the proposal to rebuild
Long bridge at the expense Of the company
because under the original contract it was
required that all other roads should be
allowed to cross the bridge. The Baltimore
and Ohio road, he said, would not take the
right, and it was exceedingly unjust to force
the roads to unto their interests in the
ownership of property.
Had our company known at the time Of
its Incorporation" ho said, "that such inter
ference would be seriously offered it should
never have gone into the enterprise"
As far as the joint depot was concerned, he
said that it was simply imprscticable, unless
mo DdlbImOTo huu oHlO ITdlub WOulu run
under the Baltimore and Potomac rules, rs 1t
would produce great confusion to have trains
run on the ssmo tracks under different
regulations, and might produce serious re-
suits.
Mr. German submitted plan to the COM
mittee to locate the Baltimore and Ohio depot
on Sixth street, opposite the depot of the Bal
timore and Potomac railway, and to have
| separate tracks for each company. He in
sisted that there must be some way by which
his plan could be made practicable, but Mr..
Roberts declared that IL could not bo done.
He said that his company was willing to
build separate depot ON tho MALL OF to en-
large their depot for the use of both COM
panies and to receive under proper arrange
ment tho Baltimore and Ohio trains, but all
must remain under the control of the Balti.
more and Potomac company. Ex-senator
Scott delivered an argument for the Pennsyl.
vania Central against tho substitute.
Tho subject was generally discussed after
the meeting Of the committee, but almost
every feasible plan suggested was fought by
the Baltimore aud Potomac officials who
objected to paying for any Of the improve
ments advocated by the committee and the
commissioners.
Tho committee decided to give a hearing
to the citizens on Friday next, and DR.. Culver
and Mr.. Church will represent the residents
and will each present plans.

In 1876, under resolution Of the senate,
the secretary Of the treasury made report
showing all tho money expended in the ais
trict from 1870 to date, for any and all pur.
loses, and which shows that the total amount
appropriated by congress for streets. sewers,
and sidewalks was S5,975, ,29iOi. (Sen ex'
doe. No. 81, I'd ses. d5th cong. p. 2Oo.)
During the same period the citizens had
expended for the purposes Of the local gov
crnment about $45,000000, of which S2O31o,-
4io.7O was for the improvement of the streets
and avenues and that amount was increased
to $55,OO0,o0o during the years 1876 le'"
and 1879.
In the meantime the real estate donated to
the United States as above stated has grown
TO be worth at least $50 100000.
The amount OF property in the district
owned by the United states Ia almost exactly
equal TO all the rest; and it must be remem-
bered that on this the United states govern
ment does not and never has paid cent of
taxes, though IL has in some cases paid taxes
on its property in other cities,

How to pick and Pack Apples.

An old fruit grower sends US the
following: The proper picking and
packing Of apples is'of great import
once The best keeping sorts will
not be preserved we'll unless the fruit
is uninjured in gathering and packing
securely. The mostapproved method
of picking is by hand, with ladders,
the fruit being put into grain sack.
The bottom and top of the sack are
brought together and tied, and then
hung over the shoulder. A short
stick may be used to keep the mouth
of the sack open. The sack is quick
ly emptied by lowering the mouth
and lifting up the bottom. The sack
can be lowered into the barrel, and
the apples will run out without being
bruised, as when they are poured in
from basket from the top. Many
apple-growers prefer to put the fruit
in heaps for few days, that the skin
may tougher.

ANNAPOLIS, MD- FRIDAY EVENING. OCTOBER TO- 1884,

Slowly, solemnly, and with hearts
made mournful by departing hope,
Mr. Seth's guests marched in the dir
ection of the railroad station. Captain
Waddell's smile followed them and
kept the temperature SO low that per
spiration was out of the question.
At the station Mr.. Seth cast his eye
over his guests and mentally calcula-
ted how many there were and how
much it world cost to take them to
Baltimore. When he had completed
his figuring he sighed heavily. All
attempts to obtain reduced rates on
the plea that the party was mislaid
benevolent society excursion failed
Mr. Seth bought tickets for the whole
crowd and sighed again.
All boarded the train, and for half an
hour silence an inch deep enveloped
every man. Then Mr.. Seth murmur.
ed that he liked to ride on a rail-
road much more than riding on the
water-the scenery was more ami
mated and less monotonous. This
sentiment gained ground rapidly.
As the contractors had paid all the
expenses of the steamers trip and
had put enough coal in her to bring
her back to Baltimore, the return voy-
age would not have cost the State a
cent. 1t is fair to infer that Captain
Waddell chained the steamer up in
order to "get even" with the men,

his wishes in reference to her con-

The oyster exhibit will be among the

There will be complete exhibit of

Plain Talk.

A large majority of the young
men now growing up are of
little or no account. They
are relying upon fathers to take
care of them They would starve if
cast out into the world and compelled
to take care of themselves. They are
lacking in self-reliance, in pluck, in
perseverance, in the Willingness to
labor at anything to make an honest
living The trouble is they feel
above laboring for livlihood. And
just as long as they have such notions,
there is no hope for them. Any
trade or calling is better than idle
ness, for idleness produces worthless
ness. 1t is better to be shoemaker,
a blacksmith, carpenter, a laborer on
the farm, than it is to be loafer.
Some of our best and worthiest and
greatest men have risen to their dis
tinguished positions from these hum
bic callings. Everybody respects the
man who is not afraid of work. Peo-
pie will trust him and honor him and
do all they can to help him. 1t may
be starting on the lower round of the
ladder, but higher and still higher
round can be reached by those posses.
