Have YOu Read and Thought About
That

Every week now scores progress in
the work at West Annapolis. Two
new buildings have been about com
pleted, convenient and pretty cottages.
Train Master Upton besides finishing
his residence has designed a tasty
little poultry house where he proposes
to raise some first class browning
stock. These may be depended upon
to wake up the little city early in the
morning until they get their town
clock. Progress is the word and a
few pushing men such as are now To-
eating will make lively stir over
there. AS a rule, West Annapolis lots
have been sold to desirable people.
This is an attractive feature as it en-
sures good community. The houses
they build will be neat and tasteful
and the occupants will contribute to
the attractions of the place. You can
buy and build at West Annapolis with
the assurance that you will be exempt
from the annoyance of an undesirable
population. Every guard which the
careful management of Mr.. Melvin
can secure will be thrown around the
enterprise. Lot sales will be made to
good people and the class of buildings
to be erected will be such as to add
increased value to the property. In
quirv for these lots continues and
purchasers are likely to realize fine
profit for their investment.

DUBLIN'S EXPLOSION.

The Police Do Not Think it Was
Brought About by Politics.
DUBLIN, Dec. Radioactive Synuot, who
lost hiS'life by the explosion at the Dublin
detective office yesterday. when found, lay
PROSTATE, his face mangled, an arm and leg
shattered and severely wounded on the chest
He was taken TO the hospital, where his in
jured limbs were amputated. He lay un-
conscious for twenty minutes, and
deeove ses@ a'0 Office hs we're walls cracked Sf the SS
the force Of the explosion, and all the win
dows and window frames were broken. At
the spot where the Internal machine ex-
ploded the tagging of the court yard was
torn up for several feet and a great hole
was exoavated In the arch. Apparently
Synnot had kicked or other wise moved the
machine away from the wall of the build
ing, and this very much lessened the damage
to the structure. In the interior all the
rooms are strewn with broken plaster and
splinters of glass. There have been no ar
rests Ia connection with the outrage, nor
have any olews been discovered though the
police are seeking to ferret out the guilty.
THEORY OF THE POLICE.
The first report that the explosion was
political outrage Is deprecated by the police.
The general opinion is that the bomb or in
fernal machine was placed by person with
a personal spite against the detective force.
ALI day people from different parts Of
the city and outlying villages have gathered
in crowds near the place. Immediately
after the explosion somebody ran
through the city spreading the report that
John Morley the Irish secretary, was passing
the office at the time of the explosion. had
been thrown to the ground and was suffer-
ing from concussion of the brain. Several
friends of Mr.. Morley. who were not in
formed as TO his whereabouts, came run
ming TO the Office TO inquire after his inju-
ries The only person severely injured was
the detective. who died Three men and a
woman In a side street, about a hundred
yards off were thrown to the ground and
remained unconscious for several minutes
They sustained only a few bruises and
walked home.
COMMENTS OF LONDON EDITORS.
LONDON, Dec. 25.-The Nelos says
editorially: "The motive OF the
Dublin explosion probably was a
private grudge. IL cannot be denied, how
has caused recrudescence of the criminal
elements which might have been extin-
guished altogether had the Irish party re-
manned intact"
The Chronicle says: 1.-THE Dublin out
rage will not affect the political situation
it should not cause Mr.. Morley TO deviate a
hair's breadth from his appointed task. 1t
is almost certain that the blow emanates
from the dynamite party, which has never
ceased to resent Mr.. Parnell's taking the
control of the movement from them and
transmitting il into other hands,
The Times says: "The terrible crime is a
striking comment upon Mr.. Morleys latest
act OF homage TO his masters. The outrage
appears to have been designed and executed
in general accordance with the methods Of
the Clan-na-Gael emissaries."
The Standard says: ''This crime should
serve to convince Mr.. Morley Of the futility
of the hopes he has based on a policy of
conciliation.n

FEARS OF THE COMMUNE.
GERMANY TAKES AN ALARMING
VIEW OF THE CRISIS.

a Belief at Berlin That Carnot's I'm.
plication In the Panama Scandal
Would Be Followed by Fighting in
the Streets of Psris-The Origin of the
Revelations.
BERLIN, Dec. 25.-The development ot
the Panama scandal in France is watched
with interest in this city. The course Of
events In Paris is considered by all German
politicians to be Of the gravest moment to
the empire. The opinion recently expressed
by Prince Bismarck that the radicals and
socialists we're at the bottom of the expos
ure Is accepted generally as correct.
The royalists are believed to be only taking
advantage of circumstance, and not to
have had any guiding influence In precipitat-
ing the revelations. The letters from Paris
correspondents encourage this view of the
scandal and it's origin, and lead all to the
expectation that If the rumors of President
Carnots implication in the scandal be real
lied, the anarchists, socialists aud general
ritt-ran of Paris, Lyons and Marselles will
barrlcade the streets and fight in the inter-
ests OF great upheaval.
DE FREYCINET NOT To RESIGN.
LONDON, Dec. 25.-The Paris correspond
ent OF the Daily NetOS says: "The report
that M. de Freyciuet will resign from the
cabinet Is unfounded, or at least, prema-

a Compressor to Squeeze a Fortune
Out of Hands.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25. The patent Office
has granted patent on device worthy of
the ancient Greeks. 1t is system Of finger
tapering and jo:nt-reducing bands. The
idea is to make thimble- shaped bands of
thin and plant aluminium in sets of various
sizes to ft the fingers aud thumbs, and by
wearing them at night gradually produce
the slenderest taperiug so much admired by
the fashionable world.
Aluminium bands are provided with
rings which are crowded down on the out
side so as to compress the finder and drive
the blood back to any desired state of
diminutiveness The letters patent do
not state whether the use OF the new device
Is attended with pain or not. It Is said
these bands have been thoroughly tested
by several Of the best known ladies of fash
ion In Washington and Philadelphia, and
they speak Of them in the highest terms OF
praise.
The leading merchant 10 cosmetics and
toilet articles In Chicago is forming a stook
company to buy the patent, and boom the
finger taperer at the worlds fair. The
patentee says his idea will go like Wild fire,
as have so many other inventions to pro.
duce beauty, and he thinks his patent Is
worth at least $4,000.

Exemption Clauses in Contracts Void
In Some Cases.
LITTLE Rock, ARK. Dec, 25.--An inn
portant test case, and one of great impor-
tance to railroads, was decided yesterday by
the Arkansas supreme court
w. L. Craveus sued the Missouri Pacific
railway system for damages caused by the
burning Of a number of bales Of cotton
while in transit. The railroad company set
up plea that it was not responsible be-
cause the bill of ladiug expressly
stipulated to this effect. The court
held that the bill Of lading
was void in the respect alluded to; thaG
when railroad company is not prepared to
transport property and will not transport
it without contract exempting # from its
common law liability, and when customers
are compelled to assent to such exemption
in order TO secure transportation, such assent
is not binding upon the customers and the
company can base no defense upon it.

HARRIsoN's YEAR OF SORROWS.
The Illness Of His Grandchild Keeps
Him From Church


WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Presldent Hars
risons pew at the Church of the Covenants
was empty to-day. The President had to
torego ais lifelong custom of attending q
Christmas service because neither be nor
any OF the white house family can go into
gatherings OF people until little Marthena
Harrison gets over her scarlatina. Although
the attack is not serious enough to justify
the health officer of the district in enforcing
the law requiring a placard bearing the
words scarlet fever" TO be displayed prom
inently on the front door at the white
house it is serious enough to require a
strict quarantine. The PRESIDENT will
not be able even to 90 to
BenJies TO shoot ducks, as he
had planned to do this week by way of re-
creation after all his troubles and labors,
but he will get some rest at home, for the
office seekers who are still looking for the
crumbs yet to fall from the executive table,
especially In the way of foreign appoint
ments, will be kept away from the white
house for awhile anyway.
The President and Mr.. and Mrs. Russell
Harrison received many messages Of sym
pathy to-day. among others one from Mr..
blaine's family. Mr.. aud Mrs. Harrison,
having no other child, are simply wrapped
up in little Marthena, and are at her bed
