TUCK WELLS CONTEST.
Arguments Before the House Elec-
tions COMMITTEES Today.


The contested election case of Tuck
VS. Wells. was before the committee on
elections today. The ease was argued
by James NJ. Munroe for the contestant
and Robert Moss for the contestee.
Mr.. Munroe who began the argument
claimed that it was the right of the min
ority TO be represented in the conduct of
the election by men of their own selec-
tion, and that the supervisors of elec-
ton were obliged under the law To ap-
point rs the minority representative
some one of the persons recommended
by that minority thus TO insure bona
fide representative. He claimed that
the supervisors of election of Anne
Arundel county had violated this pro-
vision of the law.
He also said the transposition of the
republican ticket from the second
column on the official sample ballot TO
the fourth place next to the vacant
column left for independent voters, was
SO misleading ana confusing as 10 vltiate
the election, there having been l76 ballots
in Anne Arundel county marked in that
square space aud rejected in the county,
that being more, he said, than the ma
jority received by DIR. Wells. He called
attention tothe testimony of the printer
and others in this connection showing
that this charge was made with pur-
pose and that purpose had been effected
in the defeat of the republican candi-
dates. After referring to the election in
the fourth district the difference be-
tween the official count and the tally
kept by an independent person, alleged
bribery. etc, he claimed st was the duty
Of the Legislature to declare the election
null and void and to order new cleo
ton.
Ex-State Senator Robert Moss denied
all the allegations of the contestant and
made vigorous speech in behalf OF his
client, DIR. Wells. MIR. Moss, in his ar
gument. dwelt principally upon the tes-
timony of Mr.. Latchford, republican
official in the Fourth district, whose tes-
timOnv before Justice of the Peace w.
Hallam Claude, was read. Mr.. Latch
ford had been book clerk at the election
last November and had previously been
a delegate to the convention whlchn hn0mi
mated DIR. Tuck for the Office OF clerk OF
the Circuit Court. Iatchford had testi-
fed as to the counting of the ballots. lie
testified they had heen counted publicly
aRd that the election, in his opinion, was
fair. The ballots had been taken out OF
the box by Chief Judge James Z. Ban
non, had been passed to the republican
Judge, who examined them and turned
over to the democrat judge, who placed
them on a string. There had been no
irreguIarity in that district, he said. Mr..
Moss denied the charge of fraud and in
sisted that DR.. Wells had been fairly and
SQUARED, elected and that there was no
necessity for a further election. DR..
Wells WAS returned elected by l5O ma
jority, having led his ticket.

In The Beginning

OF new year, when tina winter season
of close confinement is only half gone,
many find 4hat their health begins to
break down, that the least exposure
threatens sickness. 1t is then as well
as at all other times, and with people
in good health, that the following facts
should be remembered, namely; that
Hoods Sarsparilla leads everything in
tee way of medicines; that it accomplish
es the greatest cures in the world; has
the largest sale in the world and re-
quiIes the largest building in the world
devoted exclusively to 9he preparation
of the proprietary medicine. Does not
this codclusively prove, if you are sick,
that Hoods Sarsparilla is the medicine
for yOn to take?

There is a great diversity Of opinion
In the British navy as to the merits
and dement's of colored lights for sig.
mailing. Most of the young officers are
strongly in their favor. AS they point
out, a signal on this system can be kept
showing as long as required, while any
amount of repetition of fash-signaling
may not, under some conditions, rem
der 1t Ineligible with any degree Of
certainty.
The British naval authorities who
have been indefatigable in testing new
systems Of signaling, both for day and
night purposes. have recently made a
trial at Portsmouth of the Sellner sys-
tenn, invented by an officer in the Aus,
TRAN navy. This system consists Of
two lanterns, each capable of produc.
ing Eve classes of light, namely, white
and red, white occulting, red occul.
ting. Thirty different combinations
are placed on the code. Electric lights
are used for the lanterns, and though,
for the present, separate batteries are
used for the lights and for the signal
ing apparatus by which the lights are
changed and obscured at will, 1t is
intended that eventually one dynamo
shall supply all of the current required.

Bachelor ignorance About Children.

Bachelor ignorance About Children.
Bachelors who have lived long alone,
or in hotels and clubs, acquire strange
ignorance about children. One of these
was telling a friend how his little
nephew enjoyed '"The Jungle Book"
How old is hep was asked.
"Oh, l don't know. Seven or eight,
Maybe ten"
"Then he can read stories by him
selfT'
LET me see. No, he can't. He's too
young. He has the book read TO him."
'"rhen he must be less than ten years
old"
The uncle was puzzled.
"That's So" he said refectively. "My
brother hasn't been married nearly 30
long as that. l don't believe it's more
than six years. No, the boy can't be
over four or FIVE. l think he's just
four"
Cant you tell his age by looking at
hlm?" asked the friend.
why, no" answered the uncle, hope
lessly. "All children look the same aga
to me except infants and those that are
about ready for college.
1t was another bachelor who was Wis
Iting friends when a caller came with
his young son. The boy was four or
Eve years old, and a manly little chap.
The bachelor was attracted by his sp-
pearance, and. patting his cheek, said
to the father:
Hes a sturdy boy, isn't he? He'll
be ready to go out and play bail in q
| few years"
II can play ball alreadyr' exclaimed
the child, proudly.
"why, he can talk, can't her exclalm'
ed the astonished bachelor. II didn't
know children could talk at his age"
The company would have doubted the
sincerity of his ignorance had he not
been too evidently in earnest.

A InIcG N6uLACni6h lIOihI
The difficulties under which business
Is transacted In the House of Repre-
s~entatives at Washington are happily
or unhappily-illustrated BY an anec-
dote printed in the Washington Times
The speaker Of the House is commonly
supposed to have too much power, rath-
err than 100 little, but even his hands
are sometimes tied up in red tape.
The difficulty of securing recognition
for the attempted passage of any bill
cannot be exaggerated, and Mr. Bur
rell of Illinois had realized this fact to
the full while trying to secure action
on a little private bill which he had In
tow for n of his constituents.
He had been to see the speaker a
number of times, beseeching him to lei
the bill come up, and finally MI. Reed
Yielded, and told him to be on time the
next morning, with his bill In his hand
standing ready TO catch the speakers
eye.
Mr.. Burrell needed no urging to be on
hand, and at the hrst opportunity he
waved the bill in the air. The speaker
had not forgotten his promise. and
when a suitable opening came, he said
"The gentleman from Illinois Is rec
ognized."
A page started frantically up the
aisle, but seeing MI. Connolly OF ILL
nois standing in his place, holding
bill in his hand, the page rushed up tC
him. took the bill and hurried 1t te
the desk. The speaker did not relish
this error, but made the best OF a bad
matter, and the measure was allowed tt
pass. ..
Mr. Reed then looked over in h di
rection Of Mr.. Burrell, AMI again said
"Ths gentleman from illinois,"
Another page started to follow the oil
rection of the speakers eye, but rar
into Mr.. Graf, also Of Illinois, who hao
been haunting the first seat Of the mid
die aisle for more than a month, wait
ing to bring up a bin, and this wa'
taken to the desk and read.
The speaker looked annoyed, but per
sisted In his original intention Of SEQ
ing that Mr.. Burrell was given a chane'
to alp his bill through. and for tbs
third time sad:
1.-THE gentleman from Illinois"
This time the page found his way Il
the proper person, and Mr.. BurrelF'
bill was passed; but several member
smiled as they reflected on the fact tina
two bills had received unexpected at
tention on the strength of the recogni
ton promised Mr.. Burrel+

When the frost Of the autumn wa White
And the leaves of the forest were red,
A lover went wOoing q sweet little lass
Whose father forbade her to wed.
But he wrapped her about In the cloak
that be wore
And bore her away on his steed
FROM the cabin of logs with Its ivy-hunF
door
Ard its marigolds going to seed.
Tho branches were low in the path thai
they went;
Through the heart of the wood II was
worn:
And though down to the horn Of the sad
die she bent
The plume from her bonnet was torn.
The brightest OF yellow, behind them
twas blown,
And auttered a clew on the trail,
For the father who followed Ger stubble
and stone
In his eagerness, breathless and pale.
But whether the thrush was q wizard In
brown
Or the squirrel a fairy In fur,
When lie came to the path turning Into

There was only a cricket astir.
Where the feather had fallen q blossom

Like gold from the bushes and briers,
And still In the haunts of the RstsF 1t

Dom Paul Gould FIJI Il.

Here is another characteristic story
about the president of the Transvaal.
In the days when johannesburg was
merely Farreira's mining camp, Krue'
ger was one day riding over the Wit
watersrand in ordinary burgher attire.
He otf-saddled near a wagon owned
by q German. The Teuton did not rec
ocnIze the president, and held forth on
the many things he would do were he
ruler OF the state. Suddenly Dom
Paul, to the great astonishment of the
German, who was a very small man,
took off his coat. and, holding 1t out
toward the stranger, said; Put this
ON "But," replied the latter, "it's too
big" .Just So" replied his honor, with
a grim smile. I'm Paul Kruger. and
1t Is not 20 big for me"
