NEW DRY KILN.-The most import
ant requirement III the lumber trade to-
day is unquestionably a means of rap
idly seasoning timber. Carrying lum-
Der for a year or two in order to wait
for it to become marketable is an ex-
pensive operation, and the genius of in
ventors has been taxed to obviate the
trouble. A st. Louis man has recently
invented a kiln which is a radical de-
parture from the ordinary high temper
allure devices of the kind, the air at no
time being higher than 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. With such a temperature
and a rapid circulation OF ar; IL Is
claimed that green wood a be per-
fectly and rapidly seasoned, since me
conditions are the same as those q
which lumber is dried i'll the open ar
in summer. The kiln is built i'll separ,,
ATE compartments, with a heating coil
under each. which raises the tempera-
,ure from rs to 100 degrees, the warm
ed air escaping from one end OF the
kiln through suitable openings. From
the opposite end Of the compartment
the air is drawn out by a powerful ian.
Az provisions are made TO prevent 1t
passing over the pile. the air goes
through the spaces left between the
boards. and hence comes in contact
with every part of the lumber. 1t Is
said that the wood rapidly natures uli-
der these conditions.

MANY HALL.
Richard Croker is known all over
the country as leader of Tammany
Hall, that mighty and powerful or
ganization in New York, which has
the Empire city in its grip. He is
descended from an old Irish family,
whose name is found in Burke's
Landed Gentry. His grandfather
was Major Henry Croker, of MARTYR
town, Ireland, and one of his rela-
tives was Governor of Bermuda.
Mr.. Croker was only three years
old when he landed in New York
with his parents and six brothers
and sisters. He attended the pub
lie schools until his fifteenth year
when he entered the machine shop
of the New York Central railroad,
learning the trades of machinist
and engineer. He became very
active in politics and was elected
an Alderman in 1867, when only
twenty-four years old He was in
the Board in 1870, when Tweed
legislated all the aldermen out of
office because he could not control
them. Mr.. Croker was one of the
young Democrats who were fight
ing Tweed. Upon John Kelley's
reorganization of Tammany Hall,
Richard Croker became one of his
lieutenants and on his dea h in
1885 he became his successor in the
leadership.
Mr.. Croker is respected and es-
teemed by men of all parties, which
is more than can be said of the
average politician: he is trusted
everywhere and he has never been
known to state an untruth or to go
back upon his word. Mr.. Croker
is now forty-six years old, is married
and has family of six children.
He is of very domestic habits and
is a model head of family.
Tammany Hall seems 10 be reach
ing out for supreme power in the
national councils of the Democratic
party. The success OF Hill is due
to the methods persued by Tam
many, and if Hill should become
the Democratic presidential candi-
date there can be little doubt but
that Tammany will be the leading
factor in his campaign.

THE public road question in this
county is one that should be agita-
ted. We have Board of County
Commissioners that is open to argu-
ment and is willing to hear all sides
Of this very important question.
Delegations should be appointed
from each district to lay before the
board the condition Of the highways
IN their neighborhood. No board
can intelligently pronounce an
opinion as to the road requirements
until it is laid before them properly,
as they cannot very well visit each
district.

The Washington correspondent
of the Cumberland News, writing
under date of Monday, has the fol-
loving to say, which will be of in
terest to the citizens of the Sixth
Congressional district:
"The Sixth district continues to
be an object of painful solicitude to
the Democratic leaders. Messrs.
German, Raisin and others, and
there are evidences that they have
become so thoroughly satisfied that
Mr.. McKaig cannot carry it, and
that if Mr.. George L. Wellington is
nominated by the Republicans, he
can, that they are already consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of letting Mr..
McKaig shift for himself. Their
actions would probably be different
if it were not the usual precedent,
especially in the Sixth district of
Maryland, to give the successful
candidate a chance for re-nomina-
ton.
"Mr. McKaig is not liked by the
present leaders of the Democratic
party and his position at Washing
ton is u rather peculiar one. He is,
as is conceded by all who know him
a very hard working member of
Congress. but he has way of speak
ing his mind that Mr.. German and
his immediate followers do not like
and they do not hesitate to punish,
if they can, any public man who
violates the unwritten law in this
respect, and which requires abso-
lutte subservance to Mr.. German.
$50 when Mr.. Mckaig found
that he was utterly Ignored in the
distribution of the patronage Of the
House of Representatives and that
what was due him was appropriated
by Mr., German and some OF MIR.
AcKaig's colleagues from this state
he became very angry and expressed
his opinion thereon in very cmphat-
ic language.
Following out the line of con-
duet heretofore adopted by the
leaders, it may be anticipated that
Il they can prevent the renomina-
ton of Mr.. McKaig next fall they
will do so. 1t is certain they will
hamper him all they possibly can,
and it is reported that already Mr..
McKaig is seriously thinking of not
again entering upon contest in
which he will not only have to face
81 united Republican party but will
have to worry with constant antag-
onism in his own party.
"As Mr.. McKaig is by all odds
the strongest candidate that can be
put up by the Democrats and that
he, if the reports are correct, is not
at all sure of the support of his en-
tire party, there would seem to be
no doubt that the Sixth District
will return to the Republican fold
at the November election.

TEN CASES NOW.
No Signs of the small-Pox Abatlng on

No Signs of the small-Pox Abatlng on
Angel Island.
Another case of small pOx was brought to
light at the quarantine station at Angel
Island yesterday, and in consequence the
period of quarantine has been extended
from the pa to the Goth. The new case was
in reality discovered on Thursday after
noon and makes the tenth on the island.
When DR.. Lawlor went over to the sta
ton yesterday for the mail and report he
was told by Steward Heyl that there was
nothing new to report. Perhaps the stew
ard had forgotten the new case but some Of
the inspectors on the Island did not, as they
shouted that there was another case Of
varioloid. DR.. LawlOr returned and ordered
the steward to request DR.. Mcintosh TO step
to the wharf.
As soon as he appeared he stated that the
report was true, and that the patient had
been taken to the pesthOuse. While the
doctor was at the island, Steward Heyl
asked that his wife be released from quar-
antine, as he had no one 10 attend TO his
business in san Francisco; but az she had
been on the Island since the Cinnamon we're
landed, and the steward las mingled with
the patients all this time, DR.. Lawlor, of
course, refused TO grant his request
