On the contrary, he is taking a quiet

Senator German Charges His Defeat to
the Administration.
Senator German declares that Presi-
dent Cleveland's personal followers
contributed to the success of Lowndes.
The administration democra is appear
to be willing to assume the response
bility as anoJher achievement for re-
form. lIcrculean efforts were put
forth by Senator German during the
campaign to secur from the president
some expression favorable to the Mary
land democratic ticket, but the presi-
dent, who was urged by many infu-
entail democrats in Baltimore to keep
hands off, obeyed the behest and re-
manned passive. There seems to be no
doubt that they expected and desired
the defeat of CORN ans ticket.
Senator German bears up well under
his rebuke. Whilethe defeat of his
ticket, it is conceded, will weaken his
prestige, it does not affect his personal
fortunes directly. If the Legislature
is republican, as nov appears from the
returns, Senator Germans colleague,
Gibson, will be succeeded by n repub-
lican. The new legislature will not
have to deal with German himself.
The Maryland boss undoubtedly
shifted the approaching storm, for he
retired to his home Tuesday night and
received bulletins there by a private
wire. Early in the evening he re-
moved the knob from his door bell,
drew the blinds and paid no heed to
reporters. who vainly pounded at his
door all night long.
Effect of the Election on the Senate.
The success of the republican legis-
lative ticket in four states-Maryland,
New York, New Jersey and Ohio will
add four republican senators to the
republican column, to succeed Gibson,
Hill, Smith and Brice on March 4,
1897. Besides the four democrats no
go out. the terms of Palmer Qll.),
Villas wis.,, Voorhees, Qnd.). demo-
Gratis, and Kyle (N. d. and Pfeffer
(kan.), populists, also expire with the
close of this congress. Two of these,
and possibly all five, will have repub-
lican successors. If President Cleve-
successor is a republican he will
have a senate of at least ten and pos
sibly twelve republican majority to
confirm his nominations.
The effect of the elections Tuesday
on the senate will not be apparent till
after Utah is admitted as a state.
That body at present contains forty
two straight republicans, two silver
republicans, four populists, thirty
nine democrats and one vacancy Del
ALVAREZ. When Dupont DEL is seat
ed, the republicans will muster 43
votes. With Utah's two republicans
the party will have As votes, or
just one-half of the senate. On a
party vote the republicans would be
at a disadvantage against the combi-
nation of all other forces, for Vice
President Stevenson's vote would de-
eide against them. The republicans,
with the aid of Utah, may be able to
organize the senate, for they are re-
lying to some extent on securing the
votes of Jones and Stewart, free silver
republicans, and may get Pfefer, BOD

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. G. Returns
from the state are not yet complete,
but the republicans carried nearly
every county, and Lloyd Lowndes
will have in the neighborhood of H.
600 plurality. The indications are
that more than sixty republicans were
elected to the house Of delegates, a
republican gain of about forty, and
giving them a majority Of about
thirty.
The state senate will be close, with
the chances favoring a republican ma
jority therein. On joint ballot the re-
publicans have some to spare, and will
elect a successor to United States SEN

ly Yankee notion;a longing pardonable
enough in the millionaire who has
hot houses, but dark error on the
part of his poor neighbor. They did
not know, nor, indeed, is it generally
known, that canning really began
1000 years and more ago, but is none
the less Yankee discovery or redis-
covery; for it was a party of Cincinna-
tians who, visiting Pompeii when the
excavations were just beginning many
years ago, found in the pantry of Il
house just uncovered many jars of
preserved figs. One was opened, and
they were found to be perfectly fresh
and good. Careful examination show
ed that the figs had been put into the
jars while hot, and an aperture left for
the steam to escape, and the hole seal
ed with wax A wise man took the
hint, and the next year canning
was introduced into the United States
and has grown into the enormous in
dustry it now represents.

WITH ANEYE TO BUSINESS.

A well-known missionary had occas-
ion to give description of his foreign
work to a large audience in a certain
town. While speaking he took parti-
cular notice of boy, who was listen
ing with rapt attention to every word
the lecturer said.
AS is usual in such addresses, he
wound up with an earnest appeal for
contributions, however small, and
thinking of his wide-mouthed listener,
he added that even children might
give their mite.
When the meeting was over, the boy
mounted the platform, and going for
ward to the lecturer, said:

ested in your lecture, and-and-"
Here he hesitated.

When the conductor came through

running all the time.
The farmer finally went down into
his pocket and got out his purse. He

HOW TO PUT CLOTHES ATEAE.

New York POST will housekeep-
ers never understand, said druggist
who had been weighing moth-balls,
camphor gum and other so-called
enemies to moths for a month or more,
that if clothing is put away with the
eggs of the moths on it, moths will in
all probability hatch and feast on
their furs and fiannels in spite of all
their efforts to the contrary" Cloth
ing that needs wind and sun should,
in our climate, be put on the line in
March and be beaten, brushed and
cleansed in every part. 1t should be
then laid in a trunk, or clean bureau
drawers, until ready to be sealed in
paper, labeled and put away for the
summer In the latter part of April
and the month of May it is dangerous
to leave anything wooden or fur on
the line even a few minutes after
brushing, as that is the time that the
moth miller takes to the nice sun
warmed garment, crawls perhaps into
some pocket and lays its eggs.

OF all the proverbs quaint and sweet,
That burdened souls so gently greet,
As some wise voice from ancient clay,
There sure is none in whose belief
The worn heart finds such sweet relief
As 'even this will pass away"
When weary hands from early dawn
Till lengthening eve must labor on,
And know not surcease day by day;
How gladly comes the sweet refrain,
That echoes DER and DER ugain,
This, even this, will pass away"
When burdens that are hard to bear
Would sink the soul in black despair,
And whitening lips refuse to pray;
Faiths lovely face cen then will glow,
And sweet her voice that whispers low.
But even this will pass away
When earth to earth and dust to dust
Is read above our hearts best trust,
And We in anguish turn away;
The bitter cup less bitter seems,
When through its dregs the bright truth CLEAN.
That even this will pass away"
Yes, even this. With grief profound
We stand beside the new-made mound,
And long TO greet the coming day,
w hen weary feet have found u rest
When hands are folded DER the breast,
And all life's woes have passed away.

much addicted to travelling, and who
once reached home when the house
was full of his sons guests and stayed
to dinner One of the company, a
NO. .ri"us drawer of a long bow, told
a s;ury Of his being off the Cape of
Good Hnne, in an Indiaman, when a
floating object was discovered which
proved to be cask, wherein a man
was seated clinging to a small staff in
the bunghole.
Come on board?' retorted the

tiers there for you? Don't bother
about me. I'm all right"

lowed this incredible yarn, Colonel
G-arose and gravely addressed the
narrator:

been trying to find any one belonging
to that ship to return thanks for the
great courtesy shown to me on that
occasion. At last am enabled to do
so, sir-I was the man on the cask."

AMUSING THE QUEEN.

Maids of honor are chosen by the
queen herself from among the daugh-
tiers of peers, who if not themselves
connected with the royal household,
are personal friends of her majesty
A letter is always sent to the parents
of the young lady requesting that as
a personal favor to the queen she may
be permitted to attend at court. AS
the position is undeniable and the
salary is $500 year, the request is in
variably accepted, and the newly
chosen maid receives from the lord
chamberlain the command for her
first watt
The first thing brought to the maid
of honor is her badge, which is amin
iature picture of the queen set in bril-
liants and hung from ribbon. Just
before the dinner hour the maid of hon
or in waiting has to stand in the CORR
dor outside the queens private apart
ments. She carries bouquet, which
on entering the dining room she lays
at the right hand of the queens plate
The maid of honor sits at dinner
next to the gentleman on the queens
right. This rule is, however, relaxed
when royal guests are present. After
dinner, unless otherwise commanded,
the maid of honor retires to her own
room, whence however, she is fire.

piano or take hand at cards.
AS regards this last, the household

supposed TO handle money which has
ever been in circulation.

fected its league organization, but little
different in form from that of our own

1t is one of the ablest in matter and
most attractive in mechanical makeup

church of Canada adopted the League
and arranged for the appointment of a
secretary. The name of its paper is On
ward. DR.. w. III. Witheow is editor,

Pen and Ink Unfashionable.

A new fashion that is just Begin
ming to grow N vogue is that of writ
ing letters in pencil rather than with
pen and ink, and when once it is
fairly established it is doubtful
whether anything but legal docu-
ments and business papers that must
be preserved will ever be prepared in
the old style. Letters are generally
shorter nowadays than they formerly
were; are more hastily written, more
frequent and seldom worth keeping
for any length of time. They are not
the elaborate efforts of bygone days.
that were often cherished for their
intrinsic worth The pencil. which is
far more convenient than the pen, is
taking its place in the great mass of
casual correspondence.
