Romance of GOVcrnor-elect

A Baltimore correspondent says the
Inauguration OF Frank Brown as Coy
ernor of Maryland. which will take place

romance of his courtship and marriage
as well as illustrates the power of wo-
man in American politics. Mrs. Brown
is of middle age and handsome woman
As a miss she was remarkable for her
beauty. When they met young Brown

Bureau He was poor but ambitious.
The young folks loved one another
fondly. But the parents of Miss Mamie
Ridgley looked with disfavor upon young
Browns suit, and Miss Mamie was fore
ed TO accompany her mother TO Europe
On the voyage she met and fascinated
the wealthy DIR. Preston, of Boston 4
wooing on shipboard was succeeded by
wedding nj Madeline, in Paris The
honeymoon was spent in Italy. The
soothing cline of the country failed to
restore her husbands health, and within
a few years he died, leaving her widow
in her teens and the undisputed possessor
of million or more in bonds of the Uni
ted States.
She returned 10 Baltimore and her first
love. Fortune had favored young Brown
too. BY the death of his aunt, Mrs Car

a Druggists Customers.

Retail druggists have two classes of
patrons whose patronage does not help
swell the profits of the business. and
yet these patrons are very numerous.
They are the people who ask, May
look at your city directory" and ''Will
you please sell me a postage stamp!''
All drug store proprietors are slaves to
the custom Of keeping a city directory
for public use. and but few of them
can give any good reason why they
should do so any more than retail
grocers or the keepers of cigar shops
But the relentless slot machine has in
terposed between the apotheciry's
protitless good nature and the postage
stamp and city directory patrons. An
automatic clasp is now attached to the
city directory, with this busineSsIikc in
scription across its face. Drop on.
cent in the Slot and it will open, and
in many drug stores will be found n
neat little case inscribed. Drop in a
nickel for two two-cent postage stamps Z"

see how il can help winning.
There never was stronger endorse

Democratic business men advocating Col
onel Smiths election. which was publish
ell in Wednesdays issue of this paper II
was moi half hearted endorsement, but
cordial and emphatic one. Every man
who was interviewed knew that whit he
said was going To be put in print. That
is why the publication possesses strength
and canno, but have reaching inilu

colonel
That the Smith endorsement startled
the other candidates need hardly be said.
They knew that the colonel had the
strongest following on the Eastern Shore.
but they were more than surprised TO dis
cover the proportions that his boom
had assumed in Baltimore City among
the business men closest to the party
leaders here and in whom those leaders
have the greatest confidence.
On next Wednesday the Legislature Of

by the prevailing sentiment Of the masses
Of The regular Democracy throughout the

II is plain to the eyes OF all that John
Walter Smiths chances are decidedly the
