Her First News.

Among the uninjured passengers in
the Ravenna disaster was young man,
a New Yorker. who had been on visit
to maiden aunt living in a western
city. She was devout Christian, and
had been much concerned over certain
worldly tendencies in this her favorite
nephew. On the day of his departure
she had especially pleaded with him to
renounce the mammon Of unrighteous-
ness. alternating her prayers with ner-
vous fears over his coming journey.
When the young man got out of his
car after the collision, considerably
bruised and shaken up, he realized his
aunt's anxiety if she should read Of the
accident, and rushing to the telegraph
office wired her the emotional message.
THANK God, I'm saved"
The dispatch was received before any
stidings came Of the casualty, and the
gentle soul supposed that her nephew
had suddenly came to realizing sense
of his spiritual condition, and much re-
joiced thereat she wrote long letter Of
grateful congratulation to him, and told
the happy news to her little coterie of
intimates before she discovered her seri-
GUS mistake.--Her Point of View in

A Bit of Human Nature.

A grocer not far from my place of
abode has been this year selling for
eighty cents the same sized basket of
peaches that he last year disposed Of for
five dollars. This is not at all singular
considering the profusion of the fruit
this year and the scarcity last.
''It's funny, though" as he told me,
sthat the people who took their high
priced baskets without word are now
sending me complaint after complaint
because they find little poor fruit in
the basket. Why, last year they were
very bad"
It is odd until you come to think that
Everybody thinks out Of this years abun-
dance his grocer ought to select him a
perfect order.-New York Herald

AN ADVENTURE WITH WOLVES.

A Young Girl with the Aid Of Her Faith
full Pony Secures Four Coolies.
Once Nebraska had been to visit at
her neighbours and started for home
when it was nearly dark; but as it was
a moonlight night she did not feel lonely
and had just thought. what lovely
evening for rider when she heard pat
tering steps. Looking around, she saw
two wolves stealthily following. She
urged her pony to his greatest speed, and
tried to think out what she should do,
for she was by this time only half way
home, and seven miles from the nearest
house.
She kept perfectly still because she
knew that if she screamed before she was
attacked. although it would scare the
animals away for time, they would
return and would soon get used to the
noise and not be frightened by it. She
felt certain so few of them would not
dare attack her, for wolves are very
cowardly, but she also knew that they
would summon the rest of the pack
almost instantly.
The wolves were now in full pursuit,
and she, glancing back, saw there were
three. She was alarmed indeed now,
and as they were gaining on her every
minute she knew something must be
done If she was to reach home alive.
She knew the wolves would not long
hesitate to attack her, for there was quite
q large pack of them gathering. Her
pony, too. shifted danger, and the next
instant, before she comprehended what
he was going to do, he had turned and
sprung right into the midst of the SMART
ing pack, paving and kicking right and
leftl
He had not forgotten his wild habits.
nor how he had many times saved him.
self from the ferocious animals. And
now his bravery stood his mistress in
good stead, for as his feet came down on
the wolves fierce yelps showed that he
was not dealing gentle taps. In a. few
seconds there were four stretched dead
on the ground, and the others had fed.
The young rider had thought, as soon
as she knew what he was going to do,
that she was safe if she could keep on
his back. and this required all her
strength and skill. When the pack was
gone she looked down at the dead bodies
and shuddered as she thought of her mar
row escape With no injuries and only
few anxious minutes she had secured
four dead wolves. worth more than fifty
dollars
She dismounted and slung them over
Pawnees back and then galloped home.
No need of saying that her father and
mother were surprised to see her come
up to the door and exhibit triumphantly
four slain wolvesl
After this glorious exploit the pony
was more petted than before. Did he not
deserve it?-Kate M. Patney in St.
Nicholas.

What Ii a Home?

When the late Timothy Smith died he
left win in which he directed his exec
utors to provide "home" for his sister
during her life. The executors do not
construe the word ''home" in the same
sense as does the sister, and Lawyer
Childs came before Judge Morton to ask
that suit to have the court say what
the word means be set for hearing.
Mr.. Childs said that the executors hold
that the word ''home" means simply
shelter" and consequently have given
the sister an empty house, nothing more.

Handy to Have Around.

Among the conveniences, almost ne
cessities, kept in the pantry by every
housewife, are pieces of blotting paper,
a bottle of iodide of potash and a solu-
ton of starch. This is most fortunate,
because | read in the paper today that
after the passage Of an electric storm a
good deal of ozone is left sneaking around
behind the stove, in the cellarway, up in
the garnet and so on. With the articles
mentioned lying handy on the pantry
shelf, all one has to do to detect this
ozone is to make compound of the
iodide of potash and the starch solution,
and then dip the blotting paper in the
compound. If it turns blue it is ozone.
If it doesn't it's just as well.--Detroit

A strange Romance.

Plans have been laid for the presenta-
ton at the Douglas county jail in few
days of drama of love and law. the
like of which has never been attempted
with one exception, on the mimic stage
or in real life. The climax of the play
will be the marriage of condemned
murderer and self confessed thief and
ex-convict to woman who has chung to
him through all his troubles and is will
ing to clasp his hand, red with the inno-
cent blood of two helpless old people, and
swear to love, honor and obey him until
death, directed by the strong arm OF the
law, doth them part.
Ed Neal, who is to be executed, is to
be married to woman of the town
known as Josephine Clarke. The story
of their wooing is unequaled in the an
nails of love. Shortly after his arrest
and return to this city, and after he was
confined in the county Jail, she appeared
upon the scene. She talked with him
through the bars and offered words OF
encouragement both to the accused and
his attorneys. Long before the case was
called for trial in the district court this
woman not only rendered valuable as
sistance in the way of looking up testi-
mony. but even went further, and out
of her own earnings paid many OF the
bills incident to the trial.
When the case was called each day
she was an interested spectator, occupy
ing front seat within the bar and as
near the prisoner as possible. After
each session of the court she followed
him to the Jail door. and after the man
was locked in his cell she would stand
under his window for hours at a time
talking in low tone of voice trying to
cheer him. When he was convicted she
made several efforts to effect his escape.

The Democrat was surely not
speaking seriously when in last weeks
issue, in speaking of the treasurer
ship, it makes the assertion that
"not one of the Democratic COM
missioners have made any promises
on that subject yet and will not even
discuss it previous to the election,
and then there will be fair field
to all good Democrats. That is the
Democratic way"
Isn't it an open secret that the
Democratic party in Garrett county
is owned and manipulated in the
interests of a half dozen families or
less?
That no man goes on the ticket
for an Office of Importance until af-
ter he has been interviewed and they
are quite certain that he will obey
all their behests, and if he fails to
meet their requirements in this'par-
ticular they do not hesitate to sac
rifice him at the ballot-box?
Isn't it generally known that this
same clique makes the Democratic
ticket for Garrett county and APP
portions the perspective offices six
months before the nominating con-
vention meets?
No one knows this better than the
Democrat itself.
Was not Mr.. Fred Felty, who has
always been Il faithful supporter Of
the Democratic party, promised the
nomination for the House of Dele
gates, and when the Democratic
nominating convention met his
name was never mentioned either in
caucus or convention, simply be-
cause the estate" has been made up
long before and his name was not
on it?

in case a Democratic board of county
commissioners is elected DR.. +. II.
Bartlett will be the next treasurer q?

BEWARE of the Fay circular.

JOHNNY FAY, possess your soul
in patience
The offices to be given out by the
Republican party in Garrett county
after the coming election are not
promised to any one neither has
any one a mortgage" on them as
you assert.
The Republican party is the party
of the people and when it is again
in power the people will have some
thing to say about who shall fill the
various offices.
But of one thing you may rest
assured, Johnny Fay, you are not
Sin it, this time. Fresh, Mar
CROFT and Casteel are all too well
known in this county to need rec
concentration at our hands.
They are men of character and
integrity. They belong to no man
or set of men. They have made no
promises as to the offices to be filled
neither will they, but will go into
office unpledged and untrammeled.
Trust to their good, sound common
sense, Johnny, to make appoint
ments to office that will be accepta-
bic to all good people interested.
Yes, we will also need a man for
the deputy collectorship which Will
become vacant by +. II. Sincell's
election to the office of States At
torney, but the party of the people
will also find good and worthy
man for that place.
There is one Office you forgot to
mention, JOHNNY clerk to the
new board OF county commissioners
Will udNc W Dc SclcCleu, dllu IudC
clerks name won't be Johnny B.
Fay, Esq. Neither will the office
be promised to half a dozen or more
applicants with no intention Of Civ
ing it to either of them. The new
clerk will be selected for his ability
to perform the duties of the office
and not on account of his partisan
zeal.
Another thing we will promise
and that is: he will be found at his
Office from 9 o'clock a. m. until 3
o'clock, p. M, as required by law
and his oath. He will not endeavor
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1891-10-30

to usurp the powers of the board
and act as commissioner, clerk and
attorney. He will not allow his
prejudice to run away with his head.
He will attend strictly to the bust
ness of his office and not edit a
paper that is detrimental to the
farmers and taxpayers of the whole
county. Neither will he be instru-
mental in having bill passed by
the Legislature increasing his sal
airy during his term of office in vio-
lation of law. He will not be a
second party in bringing suit for
libel against journal devoted to
the best interests of Garrett county.
Do you catch on, Johnny?

THE very reason put forth by the
Democrat why Geo. d. Browning
should be elected to the Legislature
is reason enough why every Repub-
lican and honest Democrat should
vote against him.
The Democrat says: "Two U.
S. Senators will have to be selected
by that body and our people should
see that Garrett county shall be there
to cast two votes for those impor-
tant representatives of the State of
Maryland, etc" Well, yes! but
does the Democrat suppose that the
Republican representatives can't
vote? If so, brother, you are mis-
taken. They can vote and will take
great deal of pleasure in voting
against A. 2. German, a man who
has been identified with all corrupt
measures and political jobs that
Maryland has been cursed with for
the last twenty years.

trolled by corrupt Democratic poll

chattels of corrupt ring to be ban
