JERRY WEARS SOCKS.
The Important Question Settled
by HiIns IL.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. March 12-Repre-
sentative Jerry Simpson, better known
as the ''sockleSS statesman" from Kan
sas, created Il sensation acre yesterday
aftcrno, II among the Maryland farmers,
now III convention at the state house,
when lie interrupted the proceedings to
deny the statement that he did not
wear Ilalf-hose. The explanation was
preciptated by reporter, who, during
the recess, called al the Maryland hotel.
where air. Simpson was stopping, and
sent him note i'll which he requested
the farmer congressman to affirm or
deny the report regarding his foot wear.
The note wound up:
''DO you wear SOckS?"
After waiting some time for an
answer, the reporter went back to the
convention, which had just been called
to order, and soon Mr.. Simpson, hatIeSS
and with his OVerc0at over his arm,
rushed into the hall and demanded i'm
mediate recognition. lie then handed
to the secretary the note left for hini at
the hotel. There was quiet smile OH
every farmers face when the secretary
finished reading it. and all eyes were
turned eXpectantly on Mr.. Simpson.
Tossing his coat to one side. lie faced
the convention and spoke as follows:
Mr.. President: This letter refers to
myself, and | wished it read to this
audience, and then 10 make personal
explanation. 1t has been alleged that at
a certain time in Kansas had said that
the poverty OF the farmers was SO great
that they could not afford TO wear socks,
and that | was Il living example. SO far
as 1 am concerned there is no truth in
he story. The statement emanated
from the brain OF Republican
editor in Kansas. Ny constituents
know ali about ME and | took
no occasion tn deny the yarn. 1t is
true that owing to the high tariff some
of the farmers could not afford to wear
socks, and we were in the same position
us was Napoleon during the time he at
tempted to cross the frontier to attack
the Austrian army. l was without
arms, and when asked whether |
thought | could get them. said: Take
them from the Austrians.' The man
who was against me was representa-
tive of the silk stocking army, better
known as Prince Hal. At the time of
the election told my people that 1 eX-
pected to get the other fellows socks,
and not only did | get them, but | got
his shoes as well.
Il want TO say that do now wear socks
and | put them on after the defeat OF
ingalls,, which believe was the begin
ning,ot an era that marked the time
when the humblest people can wear
socks and the people who sustain the
government, some of whom are my con-
stituents. should wear the very best. l
find it necessary to explain to the people
of Maryland the much veXation about
socks. Just now | am unable to deter
mine which has given me greater repu-
tati0n, my feet OF my head
This speech was greeted With tumul-
tuOuS applause, after which the buSi-
ness of the convention went Oh as be-

A PRETTY ROMANCE.
How a San Francisco Girl B

How a San Francisco Girl Be-
came an Artist.
San Francisco Examiner.
People who noticed in the Examiner
window recently a splendid cast of the
head of Sitting Bull will be interested
to hear the pretty romance of the young
artist whose work it was.
1t was modelled by Miss Alice Ride
out, young lady OF less than eighteen
years of age, who has already shown
such talent that she bids fair to take
front rank among the host of artists
that the Pacific slope can claim as its
own.
Her first start in her chosen profess
sion can be directly traced to large
English mastiff owned by her family,
although her artistic aspirations date
back to her early childhood. One day
while accompanied by the mastiff she
passed the open door OF a Sculptor's
studio. The animal rushed in, and.
with apparent deliberation. knocked
over the pedestal upon which was
placed for exhibition the art
lists latest work. An arm and
leg were shattered, and the
piece lay a seeming wreck on the floor.
The attendant was wild. The girl en-
deavOred to make excuses for the dog,
but nothing would answer. Offers were
made to pay for the damage, but to no
pvail. The man, dreading that upon the
artists return he would lose his posi-
ton, was inconsOIable. The girl begged
to be allowed to repair the piece, and
after repeated entreatieS the man cou-
sented, with the remark that while he
did not believe it could be fixed, he was
very certain she could not injure it.
He mixed the clay for her, and watched
with interest the Impractical fingers
doing the work that the accomplished
artist had so lately finished and taken
so much pride IN. An hour passed with
most gratifying results; the arm was
restored and was perfect: the attend
ant was happy. Another hour the leg
approached completion, when 10,
the artist appeared on the
scene. He took in the situa-
ton at a glance, and, unnoticed
by the occupants of the room, watched
the work. Finished, explanations are
in order and given. The artist is
charmed, declares the work of restOra-
ton has added new charms to the piece,
and having heard from the girl the great
ambition of her life, went with her to
her home and insisted that her parents
should allow her an opportunity olearn
the art for which she had evidently so
much inherent talent.

WAS TOO FLY.
A Drunken Man Attempts to Jest
With O'Keefe.

1t was an ill-natured fellow that
Officer McEllistrOm run in for drunken
ness last evening. AT the Central sta
ton he made the great mistake of try
ing to jest with Jailer O'Keefe while he
was being registered. In answer toe
Jailer'S usual question, he said his name
might be Smith, or it might be Jones,
but it was nobody's business but his
own. But he was mistaken. Among
the things taken from his pockets were
several letters addressed to James L.
Ellwood. which proved to be the
prisoners right name. A perusal of
the letters explained why the wretch
was ashamed TO make himself known.
The letters were all written by his wife,
who lives at 700 Main street, Marshall
town. Iowa. 1t appears that they were
married since last November, and that
soon after the wedding Ellwood shame
fully deserted his wife. In the letters
bearing the latest dates the wife com
plains of not hearing from him and en-
treats him to write even if he won't re-
turn to her

ENORMOUS .4o;sSs
Reported From England During
the Late Blizzard.


LONDON, March 12.-It is already
known that at last seventy lives have
been lost off the coast during the biz
zard, and, in addition, at least ten men
perlshed from cold and exposure after
reaching the shore. 1t is feared that
the list of wrecks and the record of
lives lost is far from being complete, as
several vessels are known to be miss
ing. Many points inland, where the
storm was most severely felt, are still
Isolated from the surrounding country.
and days must elapSe before through
freight and passenger traifc are re-
stored on the branch lines OF the rail
roads.
The severity of the storm and the
dlfnculty OF restoring the lines of COM
munlcatlon to their usual state of use
fulnesS may be Judged from the fact
that an express train which lett Plvm-
outh on Monday is still blocked up near
the Breut river. The passengers are
suffering severely from exposure. Gangs
or !ahortrS numbering hundreds have
been sent from all directions to clear
the railroad lines in DevOnshire and
Cornwall, where the snow drifts have
piled up so heavily that cuttings twelve
feet deep have to be made through the
SHOW, which is now frozen into an al
most solid mass. The loss to farm
stock is enormous. and will entail mucn
suffering among the farmers, who have
already lost considerable money by the
terrible weather experienced at the end
of last year.
The water mains at Plymouth are
showed up to such an extent that a
force OF 200 soldiers from the garrison
has been sent to assist the water works
employees in clearing them to an extent
which VIII enable them TO be used. AS
1t is no water has passed through the
mains since Monday last, and water
famine is now added to the other suf-
feringS which the people of Plymouth
have had to endure through the terri
bic blizzard which has caused SO much

RACINE, Wis, March 12.-Thirty or
forty of the union men who are on a
strike at Secor's trunk factory gathered
tonight to wait for the men who had
taken their places when they left the
shop. Fearing trouble, many of the
new men armed themselves with clubs
and knives. and Mr.. Secor, armed
with revolver, told the strikers he
would shoot the first man who inter
tered with his employees. The police
finally dispersed the crowd, after arrest
ing two men who had assaulted the new
workmen. The three other trunk facto-
