TIE Maryland Democrats are still
hard at work quarreling among them
selves. The ring Democrats under the
control of the bosses naturally compose
the chief strength of the party in the
Legislature. There is likely to be a
good deal of squabbling and bitter feel
ing within the Democratic ranks in re-
gard to choosing successor to United
States Senator Wilson. The German
''ring," however, will in all probability
force the election of its chosen candidate
whoever he may be.

recovering from the effects of his un-
lucky fall, and Kaiser Wilhelm has con-
ferred upon him the decoration of The
second class Order of the Crown with
the star. 1t may be that the misfOrtunes
of Emin are about ended, and that he
will now enjoy something of the good
fortune which it would seem that he de
serves.

ONE of Cal Brice's agents called on
Allen o. Myers the other day in Cincin-
natl and offered him house and lot if
he would cease attacking Brice's Doodle
campaign. Myers not only Indignantly
refused the bribe, but published an affi-
davit of all that took place at the meet
ing This is the worst blow Brice's
senatorial prospects have yet received.
The affidavit shows Enthusiastically that
Brice is waging another Payne Doodle
campaign. The Democratic leaders are
supporting him with their eyes open and
the people of Ohio have their eyes in the
same wide-a awake condition watching
the process. If Brice is elected, Myers
says there is bound to be reckoning, in
which the Democratic party of Ohio will
be numbered among the goats on the
left hand for the next ten years.
REPRESENTATIVE LACEY, of Iowa de-
serves the thanks of all fair minded men
for his introduction of resolution in
the House last week calling on the Com
mittee on Elections to investigate the
facts in regard to the contest between
the Arkansas Republican, John M. Clay
ton, who was murdered by Democratic
assassins, and the Democrat, C. r.
Breckenridge, who now holds seat in
the House by virtue of Clayton's murder.
1t is gratifying to know that the resolu-
tion offered by Mr.. Lacey was adopted
by the House, and it is to be hoped that
the proposed investigation will be full,
and thorough. Obedience, to the die
tates of common decency and justice de-
manded the formal resignation of c. r.
Breckenridge Immediately after the
murder of his rival. This step was not
taken, however; and now there seems to
be possibility that he may be ousted
from the seat which he has the effrontery
to claim as rightfully his.

Blew Himself Up With a Bomb.

An extraordinary suicide has Just
occurred at village near Anglers. A
peasant named Bordereau was working
in a field with his wife and brother-in-
law, when trifing dispute took place.
Bordereau left the field and returned
to his cottage. whittier his wife soon
followed him. AS she was about TO
enter the house her husband called to
her to remain outside, and a moment
afterwards there was tremendous ex-
plosion. which sent all the glass flying
and filled the air with smoke. The
neighbors rushed to the spot and
promptly extinguished the flames that
were bursting out of the cottage. Then.
entering Bordereau's room, they found
him lying ifeless on the shattered bed,
his body fearfully mutilated. while the
walls were smeared with blood. lie
had undressed and lain himself on the
bed. placing at his side a shell which
he had brought home with him on his
return from the military service. He
had then ignited the shell and blown
his body to atoms. Bordereau, though
still young, was in very bad health,
aud when be wendell his way TO the
cottage his wife had a presentiment o.
some approaching disaster. london

RAISING A BLOCKADE.
A Good Story Told Mt the Expense OF al

a Good Story Told Mt the Expense OF an
Arsus-Eyed Lady Teacher.
A certain educational institution not
a hundred miles from Albany has
series of very rigid rules relative to
the conduct of its students outside of
school hours. One of these rules is to
the effect that no young lady student
must go out after dark in the company
of a man, be he OF high or low degree.
This rule is enforced very strictly, and
the young ladies are much in terror OF
the penalties alleged to be inflicted
upon any unfortunate creature caught
violating the rule. Recently, however,
young lady student attended an en-
tertainment upon the invitation Of
gentleman of acquaintance and was
unfortunate enough to be discovered
by grim-faced teacher of the institu-
ton in question. The teacher was evil
IDENTIFY not sure of the girls identity,
but decided that on her way home
she would wait for a while in front
of the girls clearinghouse, which
was directly on her route, and confront
the culprit in the very act of disobey-
ing the cast-iron law of the school. The
young people were just behind her,
however, and saw her pause before the
boarding-house. They retired to the
shadow of the trees and waited. The
grim teacher never stirred. 1t wa
growing late, but she evidently in
tended to secure her victim. The young
people were just beginning to grow
uneasy, when brilliant thought struck
the young man. With the fair student

deemed impossible-he found the Off

I'll pull you in" Thoroughly
frightened, the poor woman stood fol
a moment, and then walked on as rap
idly as offended dignity would permit.

An intelligent Monkey.

An instance OF tho instinct and

the son of an inhabitant of that part OF
the city, was playing in one OF the
rooms of his fathers fiat with the

The boy, in fit of juvenile caprice,
tied the cord of window-blind around
his neck and pretended to hang him.

simian playmate, which grinned and
chartered on a chair. Suddenly the
boy became livid and began to cry, for
the cord had got into real moose
around his neck. In a very short space
of time the monkey took in the situa-
ton and tried to undo the moose with
its paws, but had to give up the at
tempt. 1t then hoped to another
room, where the boys grandmother
was sitting, and began to pull at her
gown, to chatter, grimace, and look
wistfully toward the door. At first
thinking the animal wanted to bite her,
the old lady was frightened, but seeing
that it was endeavoring, with might
and main, to drag her toward the door
she arose from her seat and went, pilot
ed by the monkey, to the room where
the grandson was moaning. The boy
was instantly extricated from his peril

NOTES FOR SUFFRAGiSTS.

AT an annual school meeting recently
held in Fairport, N. T., forty women
voted.
TwENTY-FoUR women have gradu-
ated as lawyers in Michigan during the
last year.
WHEN women vote, we shall probably
have to put ballots through the parlor
windows instead of through cigar and
liquor-store windows. Politics will be
synonymous with all that is aesthetic,
when women vote. philadelphia In

ask them to vote for God and Home

Il AM glad you are pressing the
question of women's right to proper
voice in the government. 1t seems 10
me that all the soldiers in our late war,
If appealed to, would be ready to help
in securing them that right, that the
country which has been saved by their
efforts and sacrifices, as well as by those
of men, may belong to the women as
well as the men. 1t can not be truly
theirs until they have the same right
with men TO say who shall be its rulers
and what shall be its laws. ~ Clare
