Compliments for Cecil.

Mr. G. F. Griffith, president of the
Maryland Prisoners Aid Association
visited the jais and almshouses recently
and makes the folio wingverl compliment
airy report OF his inspection III this county.
We visited Cecil county on June 9th
In the Jail We found eight prisoners, six
white and two colored. None are
charged with serious otfenses. Four of
has spent the greater portion Of the last
sixteen years III the Jail. He considers
himself high sheriff, raises vegetables in
the Jail yard and also makes himself use
fnl about the building. This is the finest
Jail on the Eastern Shore; large, admirably
arranged, secure, healthy and exception
ally clean. TIE new sheriff, Mr. S. NJ.
johnson, went into office last fall, and is
the right man for the place. Thirty pris-
oners have been committed 70 the Jail
since the first of January. We visited
the almshouse on the same day. We
were kindly received by the new superin
tendent, Mr.. Daniel Hawk, and his wife
the matron, who took pride and pleasure
in showing us through every apartment
There was nothing of which they need be
ashamed. Every part of the buildings
was scrupulously clean. and the inmates
were comfortable. The two sexes are in
separate buildings. Mr.. Hawk looks
after the male department and his wife
after the female department. A number
of the inmates assist in the work in the
buildings and on the farm. We were
pleased to see this; it has beneficial
effect upon the health as well as on the
feature was the fine plumbing IN the
buildings, the abundance of water and
the fine bath rooms. We regard this as
model almshouse in its management.
We found forty-four Enthusiastically
eight men and sixteen women-of whom
six men and two women were colored.
There were no children. Connected with
this almshouse is an insane asylum which
was constructed last year. 1t is brick
building. three stories high, admirably
managed, is well ventilated, and has good
plumbing. There were four, teen inmates
eleven white and three colored. The
inmates seem much attached to the keep

Gov. tOTaker Explains the ACC1On OF the
Ohio Delegation at Chicago.
SPRINGFIELD, O., July 3.-The Repub-
licans of the Eighth Ohio District last
night here ratified the nomination of
Harrison and Morton. Gov. Foraker
spoke and explained his action and the
action of the Ohio delegation at Chica-
90. In terse and brilliant manner he
explained the position in which he and
other Ohio delegates were placed. Con-
corning the statement that he and some
others in the Ohio delegation had been
treacherous to Senator Sherman, Gov.
Foraker said: "There is nothing in my
conduct or in the conduct of any mem
Der of the Ohio delegation SO far as [
know that needs to be screened or de-
Tended by any man. On the contrary
for every act, for every word l challenge
and defy criticism of even the most I'M
kind or the most malicious. While
there on the day before the nomination
was made, received a telegram from
Mr.. Sherman, from which [ read: i
appreciate your position, think it best
for all for Ohio to stand united. Have
declined request of McKinley's friends.
There should be a test vote on
Blaine before [ withdraw. His
(Blaine's) nomination should be assured
before Ohio breaks. Will you accept
nomination as Blalne's vice? l
answered that as follows: Have re-
fused to allow my name to be men
toned by anybody for anything and do
not think it will be mentioned in the
convention, but if it should be, it will
be without my consent or approval and
if / should be nominated 1t will be
declined unless you should request me
to accept That l put before you only
because as | have said the misrepresen-
tations have seemed to make it neces-
sary not for me alone, but for the cause
of Republicanism throughout the state
in order that it may be made apparent
to every Republican in this state that
just as John sherman said, we saved our
honor, something that was never in any
danger, however, of being lost except
only in the imagination of lot of infer
nal scoundrels who never had any honor
to save"

From the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Warde tells a good story. 1t is, | sup
pose, a chestnut. | never heard the.
atrical story that was not. What proves
it to be an old one is that Warde names
the place it occurred. He was playing
Virginius in some small place. You
will remember that App1us Claudius'
client, who does the dirty work, comes
on in the last act, has few words with
Appius Claudius in prison and then goes
off. That is the last that is seen of him
in the play. When the curtain fell on
this performance of Virginius in this
small place, Wafde retired to his dress
ing room and proceeded to become the
Frederick Warde of everyday life.
The manager came in.
''Mr Warde, the audience has not
gone"
"Wen, I can't help that. The play is
done. There isn't any more of it IN the
book"
But they don't CO."
'Turn down the footlights."
"No use. They won't stir. Won't
you go and speak to them ?''
"What Go and tell them the plays
over? Egad-I will. That will be
funny experience"
Warde stepped in front ofthe curtain;
there the audience sat quite still.
Ladies and gentlemen, the play is
over. Virginia is dead, Dentatus is dead;
I am dead; Appius Claudius is dead
Just then a voice sang out from the
gallery:

A Relic of Other Days.
East Hartford Letter in New York SUI

East Hartford Letter in New York Sun.
One day last week a charcoal cart,
drawn by pair of meek-eyed oxen,
drove up to a clergyman's residence in
this town, and the occupants ahghted
and marched up to the front door. The
man was dressed in his working clothes
and his face was covered with the dust
of the road over which he had been
peddling all day. The woman wore the
fashion of 1850, and evidently was
pinked out in the finest she could afford.
They were ushered into the minister's
stndy, and informed him they had come
to get married On inquiring for the
license it was found that this important
groom and I his p ledv love- proceeded Ito
the town clerks office to get it. The
bride was asked her age, and after a
series of CYCLES responded that she did
not know. ooh tell him you are 40,
suggested the groom; you know you
are that" And 40 was recorded. Hold

The General Formally Told of the Action
of the Convention.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 5.-Gen.
Harrison was formally notified of his
nomination at noon yesterday at his res
idence on North Delaware Street. There
were twenty members of the notihca-
ton committee present, among whom
was Chairman Estee. of California, who
read the notification. Mr.. Harrison re-
sponded briefly; he said 'iiat he
was deeply sensible and grateful for
the high honor that the Chicago conven-
ton had conferred upon him. Il ac-
cept the nomination." he said, with
such deep sense of the duties and re-
sponsibilitles of the office as to alto
gether exclude any feeling of exutation
or pride. The principles of government
and the practices In administration
upon which issues are now fortunately
so clearly made are so important in
their relations to the national and indl-
vidual prosperity that we may expect
an unusual popular interest in the cam
paign. Relying wholly upon the con-
siderate judgment of our fellow citizens
nd the gracious favors of God, We will
onfdently submit our cause to the ar
itrament of free ballot"

Worth Remembering.

Guilt, though itmay attain temporal
splendor, can never confer real happi+
ness. The evil consequences of. crime
long survive their commission, and,
like the ghost of the murdered, forever
haunt the steps of the malefaotor. The
paths of virtue, though very seldom
those of worldly greatness, are always
those of pleasantness and peace.-,Ssr

1t Happens Occasionally.
From the Troy Press.

Often we rise on stepping stones OF
dead selves to higher selves. Not un-
frequently mis- ortune brings fortune.
About two years ago a conductor of a
street car in Philadelphia was dis
charged. He bad not a cent in his
pocket and had wife and children to
support. In this emergency he Dor
rowed so from friend, made a bucket
shop investment and doubled his
money. His luck has stuck by him
ever since and he is now worth
$4,000 He cleared $27 900, last year.
Scintillations can match this case with
one that occurred here in Troy Some
years ago an employee of the Troy Gas
Light Company was designated to watch
for the night a trench that had been
opened in street. A plumber who
had been in the habit of running into
the gas works to borrow tools or pieces
of pipe happened along and invited the
watchman "to take somethin'." The
invitation was accepted. The operation
Of taking was protracted for some time
and the Waterman may not have been
in normal condition when he returned
to the trench, in which COW had in the
meantime fallen and broken her legs.
The company paid the owner Of the cow
his damages and discharged the watch
man. The latter could get no employ
ment and as last resort opened a bar
room. He prospered and to-day he is
one of the richest men in the section of
the city where he resides. He looks up
on the plumber as the architect of his

and Morton.
New YORK, July 3.-Senator Mitchell,
of Oregon, is at the Hoffman House to-
day In speaking of the situation in
Oregon he said: ''The Republicans ex-
pected to carry the state by about 1000
instead of the 1000 majority that was
rolled up. The tariff issue did it. The
Mills bill puts nearly all OF
Oregon's products on the free
list. Many Democrats voted the
Republican ticket because they
were opposed to free trade. I have
received several letters recently from
prominent Democrats in the state who
declare they cannot support the free
trade ticket. Harrison and Morton, |
think, will receive q great majority.
Harrison's Chinese record? He has done
nothing that will injure him on the Pa
cifc coast. Like many men in the East, he
is conservative and believes that when
a treaty is made with a nation it should
be respected. A majority of the people
in the Far West are SO pronounced
against Chinese immigration [ believe
they would almost be willing to sweep
away treaties to prevent it. California

Connecticut's only electric street rail-
way, at Ansonia, still causes good deal
of trouble and frequent accidents, often
ludicrous, though none of them serious.
Owing to miscalculation the freight
motor refuses to 60 around curves, and
the trucks have been returned to the
manufacturer to be readjusted. 1t often
happens that passenger finds his
watch almost stopped by the magnet
ism collected on the trip, and it costs $3
person whose watch was so highly
charged as to collect pins and all metal
lie scraps in its way, buried it in the
earth and, it is said, found the electric
ity was conducted off in that manner.
Several others are following his exam
