"The Pride of Maxo. ;.

"The Pride of Mayo,'' a new Irish
comedy drama by Dan Mccarthy. was
presented for the first time in Jersey
City, at the new Opera House last night.
"The Pride Of MAYO" is the latest pro-
duction from the pen of the fayorite
actor, Mr.. Dan Mccarthy, who is also
the author of the . Rambler from Clare, y
.'CruiskeenLawn," :" etc, but whilst these
plays are popular with the public, and
have been great money-makers. "The
Pride of Mayo" is undoubtedly his mas
terpiece, and judging by the enthusias-
tic manner in which it was received last
night speaks well for a successful run.
The plot is not only interesting, but is
entirely out of the usual stereotype groove
of so-called Irish dramas, whilst the vein
of comedy pervading the piece is crisp,
pure and keeps the audience in one con-
tinued roar of laughter from the rise to
the fall of the curtain. Mr.. Mccarthy
has succeeded in staging and mounting
the play most elaborately. The COM
pany was all that could be desired. The
play will run the rest of the week

To Consumers Of Water
Office Of the Annapolis Water Company
ANNAroLIs, March 7th, 1896.

Yielding to the urgent demands of its Con-
sumers for a more abundant supply of purer
water. the Directors of the Annapolis water
Company have, within the past year, greatly
enlarged and improved the plant of the Com
pany The improvement consists OF paving
the hitherto unpaved reservoir, the enlarge
ment comprises the erection of a new pump
with a daily capacity of one and a half million
gallons. and the laying of new supply
pipe from the reservoirs to Church Clrc e.
having a diameter of IL inches; so that the
delivery capacity at the latter point has been
increased from one million to three million
gallons daily. In addition to these better
ments contracts are now being prepared for
the construction of an impounding dam at
the pumping station which will have storage
capacity of about twenty million gallons,
Necessarily these improvements have in
volved the expenditure of large sum of
money, aggregating about forty five thouS-
and dollars. In order 10 meet this outlay the
and dollars worth of Bonds: leaving a floating
debt of about ten thousand dollars.
For the purpose of extinguishing this float
ing debt the BOARD of Directors have been
Obliged te increase for the period of one year
the rates charged consumers.
All consumers of water who receive no
other notice viii therefore take notice that
from April LIST, 1895, TO APRIL iSt, 1896. the
annual rental for Hydrants will be TWELN II
($12l DOLLARS. and for Water Closets TEN
$40 DOLLARS.

PREPARING THE LEVY.


A Reduction in the County Tax Expected.
County Treaturer Williams has added
new property, valued at $50, ,000, to the
taxable basis of Anne Arundel county.
County Commissioners Phelps and
Baldwin have been busy revising the as
sessment of property and hearing COM
plants. The basis of taxation for 1894
was little over $1l 100000. The board
recently allowed an abatement of S25,-
600 on the Baltimore Sugar Refinery,
and other reductions have been made,
but the additional property, it is
thought, will more than offset that
which has been taken off the list, and
the commissioners confidently expect a
substantial reduction both in the road
tax and in the general rate this year.
One of the commissioners was of the
opinion that the road tax in some dis
tricTs will be considerably reduced.
Commissioner Baldwin, however, does
not expect this reduction in the fourth
district, where he resides, but is satisfied
the tax rate will show perceptible de-
crease

Oft years ago, at close OF day,
Beneath the darkening down.
j watched the players on their way
To our old Stafford town.
Come slowly DER the chalky road
Round by the quaint, red mill;
An old white horse, with heaped-up
load,
The first to cross the hill.
used to climb the garden gate,
And walt atop to see
The strolling folk, my heart elate
With feelings strange to me:
They came from worlds I did not know
OF wondrous queens and kings;
Their norses,' tramping tired and slow,
Drew piles Of wondrous things
Gemmed crowns of gold. and nagrons
The Jewels Of the Moor:
And as they passed in fading light,
My life seemed bare and poor.

It's half-dOOr open wide,
Ger which there leaned weird, pale

a beaming, laughing face.
Thanked by the gold Of autumn sheayes,
They vanished through the glade,
The smoke still curling through the
leaves.
Above the cavalcade.
But I'm my dreams we rode along
BY yellow fields Of wheat,
And heard the low comedians song
With burden sad and sweet.
Till day-dawn, with It's pattering rain,
It's scent Of jasmine spray,
Dispersed my visions idly vain,
OF strolers far away.
Since then I've only seen the troupe
In rudy freight glow
Amid quaint and ragged group
Engraved by Jacques Callot.
Or haunted in my theatre stall
BY thoughts akin TO tears,
I've watched them, meath my fancys

Through mists OF bygone years.

Wool vs.. Cotton.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Please answer in your paper what IS
the best means OF determining wool and
cotton in manufactured goods?
T. b. II.
Experts use acid baths. but one OF the
most prominent. successful, and sagacious
merchants OF this city informs US that he
tells by burning The cotton burns freely,
while the wool fibre simply melts. Where
the two are mixed so as 10 make Identity
difficult by this means the acid bath has
TO be regortod to.
Another expert friend Of ours gives us
his views on this subject as follows:
TO detect cotton carded with wool in
manufactured goods two processes may
be adopted.
/. In carding the staple Of cotton is
broken, while that of wool Is not. A
thread Of the material UNFINISHED (or open
ed and drawn apart will show the short
staple Of cotton and the long Of wool.
,. Fire applied TO woollen goods will
cause it to crisp and not blaze: applied to
cotton, will blaze. If there be about an
equal part Of each wool and cotton It
may blaze, but VIII be instantly extln-
guished. To one long used to the handling
Of goods these tests are rarely necessary.
There is an uGerrlng test In the touch
which will betray the presence of cotton
a cool feeling that rarely misleads. The
presence OF cotton TO n limited extent In
goods often sent to the wash is not OBJ
