Of corrupt election methods practiced by Dem
ocrats at the recent so-called election through
out the State under the Australian ballot law,
and especially in Southern Maryland, made
the 'galled jade vince not only this cornty
but in Calvert as we'll, for IN the last issue Of
the Times a writer from Calvert attempts to
take us to task for our just criticism Of the
dishonorable practices of Democratic polti-
clans in all the counties ofSouthern Maryland,
and especially in Calvert. The only trouble
with the Calvert writer is that like bis
county, be is behind the times, for here in
Charles, Democrats do not now pretend to
make denial Of corruption and fraud prscticed
at the last election, and one of considerable
prominence only few days ago said, that
the methods adopted by which Southern Ma
ryland was made Democratic, were, after all,
much better than the shot gun" Stand up

nard Murray, the oldest son of Thomas H
and Julia E. Murray, aged is years and 4
months. The deceased was taken sick on
Monday morning at six o'clock, and at half
past Ii was corpse. He was sweet and
intelligent child, aud loved by all who knew
him. II seems sad that one so young should
be summoned TO go, but 1t is the all mercifai
Father who called him, and who does all
things for the good Of those who love him. :
We know he is now an angel in heaven far
happier than be could ever be here.
The clouds of grief are heaping
Their shadows on my brow,
OH chide me not for weeping,
For have no Bernard now.
With pale and quivering lips
| gave the last sad kiss;
All no one knows but me
How my darling child miss.
His home is now beneath the skies,
He does not know our calling,
Obi Bernard dear, Oil how bereit
For thee our tears are falling.
We loved him, OH we loved him,
But the Saviour loved him best,
Farewell to thee my darling,
kro thou art at rest.
BY his Mother.
Yes, he was as pure as he was bright,
None, none on earth above him,
As pure in heart as angels are,
To know him was 10 love him.

KILLED HIS WIFE, THEN HIMSELF.

The Shocking Tragedy at Newark, N. J.
 Nine Children Made Orphans.
 NEWARK, N. J., May 21.-The man who killed his wife and then shot himself in East Orange was Ferdinand Palkowick, 8 Hungarian. After killing his wife, he fired a bullet into his own heart. Both probably died instantly, as neither of their faces betray evidences of suffering. A 17months-old child lay in bed beside it's mother at the time of the shooting, and three other children slept in the room.
 By this tragedy nine children are made orphans. The ages of the children range from 19 years to 17 months. AS near as can be learned the double crime was committed shortly before 5 o'clock. The house is 8 double building and the apart ments on the north side, occupied by 8 family named Hayes, are divided by only a thin wall. The Hayes family did not hear the shots fired, but overheard Palkowick quarreling with his wife about the hour mentioned. After that all was quiet.
 From Ferdinand, aged nine years, who slept in the room with Hermie and Ethel, aged four and six respectively, the officers learned that Palkowick and his wife quarreled after which the father left the bed, took his revolver from closet and shot his wife. The boy cannot remember any more except that his mother did not move after re- ceiving the fatal bullet. The boy says his father then laid down in bed and after a few minutes shot himself.

determinately; blending without speech into nothingness, leaving behind them 8 touch of mystery. It must needs be that paniers and Stuart puffs and rose ruchings come, and not woe but suc- cess and many customers is to him or her by whom they come; hence let us delight ourselves in the soft early sum- mer colorings and shadings of the sum- mer girl, the girl in green. It is wise to forget what we have not and cannot have and make much of that which is ours.
 It was at the spring exhibition at the National academy that I saw her, standing in front of one of William Chase's pictures. It was park picture, with tulip beds and stretches of lawn and girl on bench, and so itgave the living girl 8 green background.
 She was rather pretty girl with a lot of light hair, short and curling in her neck and about her forehead, and her green frock was striped pale green and white, and was of thin summer silk with sheen and a bloom upon it like that on the under side of young leaves. The ground of the silk was white and the green was a raised cord or plait, like a leaf rib, that ran up and down it without break from shoulder to shoe, in a gracefully and graciously fashioned princess robe.
 The skirt was cut on the cross and the girl having very evidently sensi- ble dressmaker-it had no trimming But it opened on the left side over a panel of solid green silk of a wonder fully vivid yet delicate shade, matching that of half grown horse chestnut leaves. The waist had broad rolling collar of the green silk behind, and in front it had great sloping green revers, tapering to point just below the waist and half hidden by broad fril of lace tumbling out of full soft vest of whit ish green chiffon and cascading over the bodice with ''the world is mine" sort of freedom and bravery. The encroach- ments of the lace and the ambition of the revers were kept within the bounds of practicability at the waist by fold ed belt of darker green velvet, colored like pads of pond lilies. Tn front the belt clasped with horseshoe of emer- aids and brilliants, and the deep gaunt- lot cuffs on the full sleeves had small horseshoes of the same stones for their fastenings.
 Lace cuffs, full elght inches in width, fell over or away from the hands, and the green girl wore little green straw hat, circled with twisted branch from Q cherry tree in full blossom.
 The possibilities of green are almost infinite, and when summer sets out as this summer has done in right earnest to be a green summer the range of
