WANAMAKER CLOTHING

We've got a bully black and
blue Thibct suit for S.. The
only objection to telling OF it
is that nine out of ten of our
readers that do not know much
about us will say: It's a lie.
SO here a description Of it.
Atwood; serge coat-lining :;
as we'll cut as a $50 suit; as
strongly sewed, but not SO fine
stitches fine enough for the
cloth and the cloth fine
enough for twice the money,
and yet clothing isn't cheaper
this year than it was last year.
If you are a big fat man we
can fit youwith it; tall or short.
ltyou are any sort of regular
man we can fit you with it.
We ought to say the cloth
las been inspected, just as all
our cloths are; and shrunk, as
I'll our cloths are; and the
making inspected, as all our
making is thousands Of suits;
and selling, as all our stuff is
your money back if you think
it isn't SO good as we say.
Your money back if you'll
take it.
Queer thing to do: a S
suit ! The queerest part of the
business is F.: we make no profit
on it. We think it a bully thing
to do. Have you any objec-
ton?

A PROPERTY QUALIFICATIONS
INSTITUTIONAL.

Judge Walters, of Hartford county, de-
cided on Wednesday the Belair town
election case declaring a recent act of
Assembly requiring property qualitica-
ton of 500 to be be void and unconstitu-
tional.
In delivering his opinion Judge Waters
said the Court of Appeals has decided that
the Legislature, without express authority
of the constitution, could not even pre-
scribe what proof of the qualifications of
voters at a municipal election should be
required. The conclusion reached is that
the election provided for in the Act of
Assembly in question is clearly embraced
in the term ''all elections" used in the
first section of the first article of the con-
stitution of Maryland, and nasmuch as
the act prescribes qualifications for the
electors different from those prescribed by
the constitution, it is void If the Legis-
lature has the right to prescribe qualfi-
catiod OF 500, it has the right to make it
100000, and it is idle to say that the
trainers OF our constitution assumed that
the Legislature would exercise it's power
within reasonable limits.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

POSSIBLY the small bore favorite sons for
Vice President will all have to retire before
the demand that Tom Reed shall be clapped
onto the ticket for second place. "-Ex.
And why shouldn't they retire before the
popular demand, that National Conven-
ton in nominating candidate for the Vice
Presidency, should always act on the
assumption that it is naming a possible
President, Or rather one whose chance of
being President is dependent only on a
single life
When the fact is recalled, that within a
period of forty years, the Vice President
has four times become President of the
United States, the necessity becomes
apparent that the character and ability of
the candidate for the second place, should
in all respects equal those of the head of
the ticket.
This year the nomination for the Vice
Presidency will be of more than ordi-
nary importance from the fact that the next
occupant of the office is likely to play a
conspicuous part in the legislative depart
ment of the government. In other words,
there is likelihood that the next United
States Senate will be nearly equally divided
on the tariff or the money issue, and that
the Vice President may be called upon to
cast the deciding vote vested in him under
such circumstances by the Constitution.
Outside of the respect which Republicans
entertain for Speaker Reed as an admins

Fired From Ambush.

As prominent citizen of Chesapeake City
was rowing on the river accompanied by a
lady friend one evening last week, some I'M
known person fired upon them from ambush,
emptying the five chambers Of revolver.
One Of the bullets imbedded itself in the side
OF the boat, below the seat upon which the
young lady was sitting. Had the course OF
the bullet been four inches higher it would
have passed over the gunwale and wounded
her. The occupants Of the boat could dis
tinetly hear the other bullets whistling past
them. No. cause can be ascribed for the act,
except that the perpetrator mistook the
gentleman for someone upon whom he had
designs. The case was reported to the officers
and is being investigated
