One OF the best houses Of the season
greeted the Ford Opera Company on
their return engagement ut the thea
ter last night, The MikadO being the
attraction. The performance was very
satisfactory, the company showing
marked improvement since their first
visit. The only Change Of importance
in the cat { was the substitution Of Miss
Ray samuels for Miss May as "Ka-

filed by the Old favori.es, Blanche

the performance last night was one OF
the best ever given here, and we'll de.

In the congressional field, there are some
points ofinterest. The report comes along
now and then from the first, or Eastern
Shore district. that there is an element,
and one of some importance, which, if the
conditions are favorable, viii support
Gov. Henry Lloyd, of Dorchester, for the
congressional nomination in opposition to
the denomination of Congressman Charles
Fl. Gibson, of Talbot. There are people in
political circles who insist that there is
something in this report. In the second
district, composed of Cecil, Hartford, Bal
timore and Carroll counties, the canvass
has developed almost to the point that i
is safe to say that ex Congressman J. Fred
G. Talbot, of baltimore county, will con
test with Congressman Shaw for the nom
nation. Mr.. Talbot was in Baltimore on
Saturday with his Baltimore county
go into the contest, and that if he does he
will do his best 1t is said the selections
in the Uni'ed State marshal's office indi-
cate that Mr.. Talbett still has friends at
court. Bu' he will have some lively oppo-
sition in Baltimore county. Hartford is
counre ed upon as having friendly leaning
to the Talbot party. The canvass of the
third, or East Baltimore district, is said
to be shapeless at this time. The regulars
only express themselves in whispers con
cerning Congressman's Coles health. The
friends of Hon. William Pinkney Whyte
are said to be watching the POLITICAL field
of the third district The friends of State
Senator Rusk, who is young man, and
has congressional aspirations, will not give
any sign. In the fourth, or West Balt-
more district, the congressional atmos-
phere is much clearer. The political
leaders say it looks to them as if State
Senator Isidor Rayner will get the nomin
expect that at the polls the contest NAV
be bet ween Msssrs. Rayner and Findlay
tor the congressional prize. Congressman
Compton, in the fifth. or Southern Maryland
district, lets no opportunity pass to make
friends among his constituents. In the
distribution Of Federal or State patronage
he seems to have done reasonably well in
business which is not always satisfactory
because there are not nearly enough places
to go around. If Mr.. Compton has sharp
fight for denomination it will not be for
the reason that be has not tried to make
the road smoo b. The sixth, or Western
Maryland district, has been congression-
ally republican territory, and Congress
man McComas, if he wants rsnomina-
ton, will doubtless get it. 1t is too early
to say who will be in the field as The dem
ocratic banner bearer.-Balto Sun.

Some one not long since Invented pa
pier mache coffin. Among the advantages
claimed for it was its close resemblance
TO wood, its lightness, waterproof quality,
and incombustibility, though why this
latter quality should recommend the new
casket is not apparent. The paper casket
has been patented, but has not been put
npon the market. Iron and bronze cas-
kets have been for some time in faver.
and recently marble caskets have come in.
They are practically indestructible, being
made OF a composition of powdered mar
BILE dust and Portland Cement, and mould
ed and baked like pottery. A certain pc
culiar post norton vanity has found graf
ifcation in transparent glass collins, but
hard wood is still more used than any
other material, and for all practical pur-
poses it is, doubtless, as satisfactory AS
-anrrhfng else. On the score OF hsakhful-
ness, indeed, the less durable the ,caskst
the better fer the surviving population Of

Ge~tIoyd, Speaker Seth and President
last week for the purpose of signing some
bills passed by the last Legislature
as required by law. Among those signed
was one repeating the nonresident drum
mers' license tax. After the completion
of the work Designing the bills, Governor
Lloyd and Attorney General Roberts, with
Messrs. Purnsll and Prettyman, ant to
the office of Mr.. Spencer G. Jones, clerk OF
the Court of Appeals, and selected for
publication the public general laws passed
at the last session, in accordance with the
act of 1882 They selected thirty seven
general laws including those that relate to
questions of pleading and practice in The
courts, changes in the testamentary law of
the State, and to crimes and punishmeHts,
and all laws that impose any penalty.
No laws are to be published except those
that take effect from the date of their pas
sage. The act of 1882 provides that two
daily newspapers in the city of Baltimore,
one of them in the German language, shall
be given the publication of these laws,
and fixes the limit of compensation. In
The counties the number of newspapers
is not restricted, but the compensation to
be paid for the publication in each county
is limited. The Legislature of 1884 ap-
propriated $4,000 to pay for this news
paper publication Of the laws passed at
the 1886 session. The act designatss the
President of the Senate and the Speaker Of
the House to select the newspapers, and
President Jackson and Speaker Seth near
ly completed the list. The TIMES was Sc
looted as the paper for Charles County in
which these laws should be published
and we will give them TO our readers in a
short time.

The electoral cudnt bill, a. passed by
the Senate, gave Congress power TO reject
the electoral returns of State by the cur
rent vote of both houses, even when there
was but one set of returns. This in effect
puts in the power OF partisan majority
in both houses to elect President instead
of merely counting the electoral votes cast
for candidates. This could be done by
rejecting the returns of sufficient num-
Der of States on one ground or another.
The bill as amended and reported by the
House committee, compels the acceptance
Of returns when there is but one set OF
them from State.
