BOLD SNEAK THIEVES,
A London (EnglanO Bank Clerk
Robbed OF Over $50, 600

A decided sensation was caused in London,
England, by a daring bank robbery COM
mitted in broad daylight. A stylish dressed
man accosted in the National Pro-
vincial Bank Of England, No. 112
Bishopgate Within, a clerk from the
London branch of the Bank of
Scotland, who was standing at the public
counter of the National Provincial Bank, in
the act of making deposit Of money. While
the conversation, which lasted only a moment
or So was going. on, man, who was evil
IDENTIFY an accomplish of the stylish stranger,
snatched from the clerk a satchel containing
bonds and checks representing over $780, 600
and ran out Of the bank.
The clerk who was robbed is youth
named Mckenzie. He is only seventeen
years of age. The two thieves are described
by the police as being ''dudelike" in the ex-
IRENE. The police officials are of the opin-
ion that they are expert American thieves
who have probably watched Mckenzie fol-.
weeks. The police say that this is the big
gest haur' of money made by bank sneaks'
in a generation.

No one doubts that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but con call " in a.
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DR.. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety-nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
IF the makers are willing to
take the risk ?
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist SO cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500
you'll get something better

CONVICT STATISTICS.
superintendent Porter Takes a Cen
sus of Prison Inmates.

Superintendent Porter, of the Census
Bureau, has issued a bulletin upon the SUBJ
ject of convicts in the penitentiaries The
bulletin was prepared under the direction of
Fred H. Wines, of Springfield H., special
agent and expert for the statistics of pauper-
ism and crime, and shows the number of
convicts in State prisons and penitentiaries
in the United States on June l, 1890, to have
been As, 1913, against 81, 53S in 1899.
OF 1927 penetentiary convicts whose
rthplace and parentage are known the
Ioreign born element Of the population fur
nished IA, 725, the colored population a. 687
and the native white population, which
probably outnumbers them BOTH only 13 us.
In other words, each of these elements fur
nishes about one-third of all the inmates of
our State prisons and penitentaries.
In respect of sex, 43, 442 penitentiary con-
victs are men and 1871 are women. The per-
centage Of women is somewhat less than it
was ten years ago.

NATIVES VICTORIOUS.
The Caroline Islanders Repu1se the
Spanish Invaders

A private letter from the Caroline Islands
gives an account of further fighting between
the natives and Spaniards, in which the
latter were worsted. The Spanish Governor
sent an expedition, consisting of three gun

troops landed, and, after loss of sixty
men, made the natives retreat. The Span.
iards were reinforced and six days later at
tackled the natives. The latter were behind

Freight Charges.
The farmers Of this section are complain
ing and We think justly Of the high charge
for freighting fruit made by the Maryland
and Virginia Steamboat Company. Re-
Gently. Mr.. Joseph T. Cough, of Medley's
Neck, shipped seven boxes to Washington
the freight on which, one way, was 12i cts
per box. This, 90 we are told, Ia 81 cents
higher than was ever charged by the Sue
when under the old management, and we
presume good profit was then made. Mr..
George Cusic informs us that on the Pa
tuxent the Weems Lime charges 9 cents
for freighting Q box of fruit. And Mr..
Williams runs his steamers for profit, not
for the fun Of the thing Fruit boxes cost
from II 70 10 cents apiece and II l2i cents

returned and the fruit sell, as at present,

Steamboat Company would permit Capt.
Geoghegan, fair and honest man, TO con-
fer with the shippers and tx rate, there
would speedily be no grounds for COM

ocrat who has the good Of his party
ct heart will attend and that for
bearance and good feeling viii be
the order Of the day. st. Mary's
County Democrats are good fight
ers-the bsst in the State-but they
often unfortunately exhaust their
pugnacity fighting among them.
selves. In the present instance let
discord be conspicuous for its abb
sence and let the delegates to the
County Convention be selected with
a view to the good Of the whole
party.
Our County has this year cam
didate for q prominent place upon
the State ticket. He is o man who
would adorn the position and he
has o most excellent chance for the
nomination. For o st. Mary's man
to secure such an honor would be Q
great thing for our county and Of
immense value TO our party here.
Let as not ieopardize our interests
BY unseemly chickering's.
Meet, Saturday next, in aspirito Of
good will, forbearance and concila-
ton and endeavor to agree-not
disagree. It always takes two to
make quarrel. May our party in
Saturdays primaries be one.
