ONE of the curiosities of the cable
code method of sending information is
shown in a recent message announcing
the loss by fire of ship at sea The
message was conveyed in three words
of Scott's cable code: "Smouldered,
hurrah! hallelujahr' "Smouldered"
stands for "the ship has been destroyed
by fire." ''hurrah" for ''crew saved by
boats" and "hallelujah" for 'all
hands saved--inform wives and sweet

at this place with the home loved ones she
spent the bright days of her early woman
hood. Later she married Mr.. John Trussell,
and removed to Charestown. where she re-
sided until the time of her death. Her death
was very sudden and unexpected, due to
typhoid fever. In early life she gave her
heart to her Saviour and connected herself
with the NJ. L. Church. From that time
onward 20 the time Of her death she was
faithful and true to her religious obligations.

be the path of duty. Her religious life was
beautiful and impressive in its meek humility.
Indeed. she never failed to impress most
favorably everyone who came in contact with
her. Few went from her presence without

Her Christian character and life was OF that
pure ana lofty type that seeks to do the will
of God. Bright in nina, fair in person. pure

THE NEGRO BUG-A-BOO.

What fearful nightmare the ''negro
bug-a-boo" must be to some Democrats.
What hideous hobgoblin it must seem to
them in their feverish and wrought up
state of excitement brought on by race
prejudice. How ridiculous the argument
that Republican success means radical
change in the social order in Maryland and
mixed schools
Such an argument demonstrates the ex-
tremity to which the Democratic organs
are put in their support of German dicta-
torship. In order to close the eyes of the
people to their political thraldom under
German rule they attempt to incite their
prejudice against the colored race.
But the people are not to be misled by
any such peanut politics. They know that
the Republican party in Maryland will give
the colored people their orn schools.
There is no such issue in Maryland as
the "mixed school" issue, but there is the
crying question of bosssm, and to which
the peoples eyes will not he closed.
The "negro bug-a-boo' has also been
raised in the Kentucky campaign and to
which the New York Sun-that leadin"
Democratic journal, thus refers:
''rhe election of Republican State Adj
mnistration could not suggest even to
the most heated imagination any change in
the existing social order in Kentucky or
any readiustment of the political or social
position of the colored citizens of that
