AnnihiIation or Time.

The utter humiliation OF time aud
space by electricity was never better
illustrated than by an incident which
occurred on the coast OF India. where
two English SHIPS we're repairing a
telegraph cable near Bombay. The
two ships were half mile apart: one
Of them holding the shore end Of the
cable ia close communication with
Bonn bay, the other having the sea end,
which was connected with Alden. 1t
became necessarv for the two ships to
communicate with each other in order
10 complete their work; this was done
by one Of them telegraphing to Bonn
BAY aud thence around to Alden, and
the other from Alden around TO Bonn
bay. Thus as speedy means Of send
ing messages half mile they were
sent around by route nearly 1000
miles ia length.

Republican County Convention.

The Republican convention on Monday last
was not conducted under rules generally gov
erning such bodies, and the procedure was
entirely different. The attendance was very
small, and whether all present were delegates
was not ascertained, for there was no commit
tee on credentials appointed, nor was it ascer-
tanned what districts were represented.
Harry NJ. Clabaugh called the convention
to order, and proposed Samuel Roop for
president and W. l.. W. Seabrook for secre-
tary. The only business to be transacted was
the selection of five delegates to represent the
party in the state convention, which conven-
ton was called to consider constitution and
bylaws for party government. This business
was done for the convention by several Re-
publicans who gathered around table, and
the ticket thus chosen was about to be accepted
without the usual formalites when W. l.. W.
Seabrook, the secretary, said he objected TO
such cut and dried program, and did not
think it right and proper for a few persons to
gather around a table and settle who should
be delegates-it was the business of the con-
venton to select the delegates, not that of two
or three persons. After Mr.. Seabrook's re-
marks, to which no reply was made, the
ticket agreed upon was selected, but the usual
formalities were observed. Eight persons
were put in nomination, as follows: Harry
NJ. Clabaugh, Philip ii. Babylon, Vim. W.
Roop, Milton Schaefier, Thomas Hunt, VIM.
Y. Frizzell, j. Frank Devilbiss and W. l.. w.
Seabrook. The latter three were Withdrawn,
and the other five were chosen by reclamation.

The Almshouse and Jail.

G. S. Griffith, President Of the Maryland
Prisoners Aid Association, and Rev. l.. f.
Zinkhan, the general agent, have recently
visited the iails and almshouses of Carroll,
| Washington, Frederick and Montgomery coun
ties. Here is an extract from their report
''The Carroll county AlmshOuse is situated
pleasantly on beautiful farm Of one hundred
and seventy acres, about one mile from the
town. Mr.. Emanuel Shaffer, the supern-
tendent, showed us through the buildings.
The total number of inmates was 90, of whom
q were women, 50 men and children.
Fourteen of the inmates were colored. Most
| of the inmates are old and decrepit, but a few
! of them are able to assist somewhat in house
work and chores. The main building, which
is occupied by the superintendent family
and the female inmates, was in excellent con
| dition. There were evidences of cleanliness
and comfort manifest throughout But when
we entered the building occupied by the men
the contrast was so great as to be shocking.
The rooms were crowded with men, most OF
them lying or sitting on their beds. The
beds were filthy, the floors dirty and the at
mosphere heavy and oppressive. The build
| ing is really not fit for occupancy. There IS
great need of an additional building, where
| the men can remain during the day, that
their sleeping apartments might be cleaned
and the beds aired. The partitions should
also be removed, so that the present small
rooms could be thrown into one or two large
dormitories, with more light and fresh air,
or, if house were erected for the use of the
superintendent family, the male inmates
could find ample and comfortable apartments
in the main building, and the old rickety
structure be utilized to give shelter to the
tramps, of whom 2,50l were provided with
lodgings or food during the past year. The
total expense for maintenance Of almshouse
during the last fiscal year, above products of
farm, was 81, 1898. In addition to this, the
comfy paid out 81, 654 for persons pensioned,
and S., 006. % for its twenty-three insane pa
tients.
We found the Westminster Jail, under the
charge of Sheriff S. C. Wickert, in good san
itary condition. There was total of thirty
eight prisoners-34 white and colored men;
l man is charged with rape, another with as,
sault, and 3 are serving a Jail sentence. Most
of them are peace cases. The students of the
Western Maryland College visit the Jail and
almshouse regularly, and conduct religious
services. -
