NoyDA, EVENING. OCT. IA 1895.

The so-called cleveland demo
cracyn of Maryland profess to oppose
rhe democratic ticket in tn State be-
cause Mr.. German supported the COM
promise tariff bill, and not what was
i,aown as the Wilson bill. 1t Was
,,atent that the Wilson bill could not
pass. and as half loaf is better tban
no bread, and as the alternative of the
compromise bill was the then existing
Mckinley robbery bill, Mr.. German only
did as all other wise men would have
done under the existing circumstances;
aad that be was right in 80 doing Is
conceded now even by those who OPP
posed him then. But the supreme Wis
dom exhibited by protested advocates
ofa low tariff, in attempting to defeat
low tariff democrats and to elect high
tariff republicans is 80 exalted as to be
invisible to ordinary mortals. Mr.. Nc
Kinley, too, himself, it is stated, will
come to Baltimore to help them.

The NEGRO women in New York
have organized republican club and
declared that the democratic ticket
there must be defeated. And this is
American politics. Il it any wonder
that many of the most intelligent citi.

men of that class can be induced to
allow themselves to be candidates for

WAS THE DUKE EJEcTED?-A spec
ial from Louisville says: The Duke of
Marlborough, the fancee of Miss Con-
>uelo Vanderbilt, was on Friday night
elected from the stage of the Bucking-
ham Theatre. After supper he left the
Gait House and was driven with his
cousin, Hon. Ivor Guest, to the Buck
iugham Theatre to see performance
and from one of the boxes he watched
the ballet. One dancer caught his
Eye, and after the show, the duke with
his cousin, made his way to the stage.
He immediately inquired for the object
of his admiration and it is said sent her
an invitation to supper. The little lady
sent word that she "did not care to sup
with his dukelets," and that "a good
mister was good enough for her." The
duke and his cousin stood about until
Mr.. Ball, the treasurer of the company,
wandered his way. Mr.. Ball called the
Waterman and ordered every one of
the stage. He was told that "the little
gentleman over there was the Duke OF
Marlborough" He said: ~ don't care
if he is the King of England, off he
goes" and in conformity with the or
der, the duke was hustled OFF the stage.
The dukes cousin did all the talking.

immense crowd early Saturday morn
ing sought admission to the church at
Guadalupe, City of Mexico, to wit
ness the coronation of the image of the
Virgin, but so great was the rush that
the doors had to be closed within ali

New York, Cincinnati, New Orleans,
Oaxaca, and great number of bishops
and priests followed, carrying the
crown around the church to the en-
trance, where it was brought into the

To BE ExHUMED.-Two weeks ago John
W. Sanford, an old man, disappeared from his
home in Washington. Three days later he
vas secretly married in Baltimore. Nine
days after his marriage he died. The cause
of his death was reported as gastritis On
Saturday he was buried in Congressional
Cemetery, and at the grave most dramatic
scene occurred. The sisters and relatives OF
the dead man-their suspicious having been
sroused-asked that the body be placed in
the public receiving vault. The bride of two
weeks refused to listen to the request and
was 80 arbitrary that tho casket was finally
lowered into grave and covered with earth.
The body Of the old man will not remain
there long, however. All Of the facts in the
strange case have bean laid before the coro-
uer, and the relatives will ask that the body
be taken up and post-mortem examination
made. One week before Sanford died he exc.
cuted will, bequeathiug all of his property
consisting of 81 1875 in the Washington Loan
and Trust Company and some real estate in
Syracuse N. 2, to his wife. During the two
weeks of the old mans married life none of
his relstives saw him. Several of them, IS
well as many friends, called to see him, but
they were refused admlttance, and the wife
even declined to sec them. Within an hour
after sanford's death the body was embalmed
by sn undertaken, who had been hastily sum-
moned. These facts and many other circum-
stances are causing much talk in northeast
Washington, where sspford lived: As the
marriage was secret, the wife is still known
% Mrs Florida D. Crupper. She lives at 2O1
G street northwest, and there it was that
John Sanford died. Mrs. Crupper appears 10
be about fifty years old. Sanford was seven;
ty.four years of age, and was tall, gsod-;
looking old gentleman, and rather well pre- ::
served for one of his years. The body was to.
have been exhumed to d y and post .mor,em
examination he'd.
To reporter Mrs. Crupper said: "Mr. Ssn.
ford and myself went over to Baltimore on
Tuesday, October 1, and were married by
Rev. DR.. Lanahan. he knew me the mo-
ment he asw me. for he used to be my pastor
in Ale1andria, in fs,t he christened me there

THE EPIsCoPALIANs.

The meeting of the Episcopal board
of missions at Minneapolis Saturday
evening was quiet affair and compare
lively little business was transacted.
The board listened to the appeals of
Bishop Graves, of China, and Rev. DR..
McKim, of Japan, for more mis-
sionaries in those fields, and
adopted q resolution that more
missionaries were needed, not only
in China and Japan. but lin the
entire foreign missionary field. and it
was suggested that there should be a
special effort made to arouse missionary
enthusiasm among the students at the
theological seminaries.
Bishop Scarborough introduced q
resolution to the effect that the wo-
mans auxiliary be asked as to how
they wished their latest Offering of
$55, 900 expended. There was debate
pro and con over the resolution and it
was defeated, because it was claimed
that the women would be so scattered
that any general opinion could not be-
secured from them.
