4 Rlne With a 1a.miIe Rance.

The fourth I3-inch rife for one of the bat
tle-ships has been practically completed with
the successful placing of the huge iron rim
called the jacket around the tube of the gun.
These guns are intended for the three new
battle ships which are not yet completed
These monsters carry piercing projectile
weighing 100 pounds, which takes $50
pounds of powder to make il effective for
fighting purposes. Thirteen miles, mile for
every inch Of its calibre, is the range of the
gun, and eight miles good fighting distance
for it to be effective. The projectile costs
about $500 and the powder about $500 more,
so that every time the gun is fred the govern
ment has to put up good round SUN to meet
expenses. The rife will be tested at Indian
Head in few days.

Lots for Sale.


Mr.. C. C. Lancaster advertises in arother
column lots for sale at Chapel Point. He has
sub-divided the property recently purchased
by him of the Jesuit priests into small lots for
building purposes, and now has them upon
the market. OF course the public will not be
misled by the advertisement. II contains the
startling announcement that these lots are at
the future county seat of Charles county, which
in point of fact, is an unsettled question:
Such statement is gratuitous assumption
on the part Of Mr.. Lancaster and calculated to
mslead. Although we publish Mr.. Ian
CASTERS nd, we do not wish TO be understood
as party to the self-evident deception, either
directly or indirectly. We are compelled to
state that Chapel Point will never be the coun-
~ seat of Charles county, anything that Mr..
Lancaster may advertise, or his fippant
songued supporters may say to the contrary
notwithstanding. Persons who desire to buy
his lots will therefore understand that if they
purchase with the expectation Of being near
the county seat they ARE reckoning without
their host" and will be disappointed TIE
probability of the county seat goisg to Chape
Point is as remote as the North Pole

0n June 9th At Paris the French govern
ment viii award the contract for 9, 200, 600
Kilograms of Maryland and 500, 600 Kilograms
of Ohio tobacco. The samples of tobacco re-
CURED by the government are now at the
French consular agency on Postofiiee avenue
for the inspecrlon of bidders for the contracts
The bids are made up by the tob eco ysrs
of this city and forwarded to their correspond
ents in Paris, who submit them to the French
government. The quantity required for the
French contract this year will be between
$500 and $500 hogsheads Of Maryland and
1900 hogsheads of Ohio tobacco. Inst year
the contract called for 1000, 900 Kilograms OF
the Maryla crop Mr.. Henry Lautz thinks
the Maryland crop of this year will not be
sufficient to meet the French requirement, and
that the successful b oder will have to make
up from last years crop'-Sun.

Our Sunday

People who reeklessly hasten the expung
ing Of Sunday as a day of rest from our calen-
dars are unconsciously violating rules o.
health that will take sudden and certain ven
gence for their infringement. Aside FROM It's
religious aspect there is a sanitary side. Il
affords the weary forces of the body chance
TO repair the damages of the week of toll and
allows the mental faculties to recOup them
selves after the rayages OF six days action
How pleasant the day of rest seems when Sat
ucday night comes, and we feel that one
week work and toll is past and the blessed
rest Is lust ahead How delightful to stretch
out the weary limbs that night with the con-
ISOLATION that the whistles are silent next
morning, and that nAught will come TO
awaken but the silver clangog of the church
bells calling grateful people to the saaetuaries
to return thanks for the mercies Of the imme-
djate past. Sunday cannot be taken from US

sanitary los5.-Ex.

The Onentng Day.


The opening day at Chapel Point as
SUNNI er resort did not palm ont as expected,
and the disappointment was very great to the
county people who gathered there to enjoy
spring day OF sightseeing and pleasure. The
excursion advertised to come down from
Washington did not show up, nor was the
sweet. refrain of soul-stirring music 50
pleasing to the ear of the county folks heard

still unexplained. Up 70 ABOUT ocoek,

Taking off Heads.

1t is reported that Congressman Compton
had recently an interview with Assistant
Postmaster General Maxwell with reference to
various Republican postmasters in this county,
whom he is anxious to replace with Democrats.
Mr.. Maxwell is reported to have said be would
be most happy to accommodate Mr.. Compton
1t 1t lay in his power, but under the terms of
the executive order, which was constantly
staring him in the face, the fling Of charges
was an memorable preliminary. In two or
three instances Mr.. Compton very readily sag
gested allegations which, it is said
are quite sufficient to justify
topping off the official heads be was
after, and these, Mr.. Maxwell said should re-
ceive the proper attention.
