THE POPS HOLDING THE BAG.

THE POPS HOLDING THE BAG.
Boston Advertiser: 1t should not
prove surprising II n result Of the
coming election would be seen in the
disappearance OF the populist party.
That party has made no independent
nomination for president. and, as Mr..
Watson himself seems inclined 10 ad-
NIT, the populist nomination for the
vice presidency has been practically
taken as a 9 for trading votes for
local populist candidates. In the pres
emit campaign the populist party has
no real existence in national affairs, as
1t has deliberately merged itself into
the democratic party for the present.
1t is not often that a party which pre-
tends to have a national existence can
resort to such methods without de-
stroying It's own individuality. Mr..
Watson was shrewd enough to see this
some time ago, and only a few days
ago he prepared in his letter Of accept
ance a warming to his party on these
lines.

THE PROPER THING.
No More Vagrant transportation
Charges for the Taxpayers to
Settle.

At recent session, the County Com
missioners framed the following notice,
which has been sent TO all the magis-
trates in this city and which will save
many dollars of the peoples money:
"Ordered, by the County Commits
sioners of Frederick County, this 9th
day of December, 1896, that hereafter
all charges for delivering tramps and
Migrants to Montevue Hospital and
team hire for transporting said tramps
and Migrants, will not be paid to any
constable or any person whatso-
ever claiming therefor; and be
it further ordered, that the Com
missioners of Charities and Cor
rection be requested to make
proper and suitable arrangements with
the various police magistrates of Fred
erick, so that such tramps and va
grants can be taken to said hospital,
when lawfully committed thereto,
without expense to the taxpayers of
the county; ana be it further ordered,
that the police magistrates and county
cOnstables be notified of this action"
+ Up 10 the present time it has been
the custom to hire a conveyance of
livery of private party to transport
tramps committed to Montevue, cost
ing the county anywhere from 81 to 20
in every case. The tramp nuisance has
been a constant source of annoyance
and expense to our taxpayers for years
past, but it seems that at last the Coun-
ty Commissioners have awakened to
sense of the duty they owe to the ex-
pense-bearers of the county.

Stag Hound VS.. Reynard.

An unusual, but highly interesting
sight was witnessed last Saturday by
a party of fox hunters in New Market
district, during a spirited chase after
the sly reynard. Mr.. j. Francis Smith.
of Frederick, was present, and with him
he had his heet-footed stag hound, one
of DR.. Downey's celebrated breed. AT
ter the fox had been run over hill and
dale for some time, he hove in sight of
the crowd on the roadside and passed
them within a few yards. The stag
hound sighted the fox and starred after
him full tilt. Over the fields the two
went neck and neck, the dog rapidly
gaining on the fox, until it seemed he
must soon overiake him. Reynard
sighted low clump of underbrush
and made for it at topmost speed. and
reached it only few feet ahead of the
dog. Here, of course. Mr.. Fox was at
home, and soon eluded his fleet pur-
suer. The chase was highly exciting,
aud at times very critical for the fox,
but all were glad he escaped away, to
be chased again some other day.
Among those on the hunt were Messrs.
Chas. Smith, Frederick; Chas. Wood,
Dr. Hopkins, DR.. Downey and others,
of New Market district.

Gold Medal for Best Historical
Essay.

Sometime ago, Mrs. John Richie,
of this city, State Regent of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution. gave
out the information that the pupils of
the public schools would be allowed to
compete for gold medal, offered by
the Society for the hest essay on the
history of Maryland during the Revo-
luton. The papers of the scholars are
to be submitted to the principal and he
is to select the most worthy one. That
is to be sent to committee selected by
Mrs. Ritchie. who will pass on the re-
spective merits of each essay and
award the medal to the one having the
best paper. Quite a number of schol-
ars are trying for the much coveted
prize and others yet have time to pre-
pare themselves to write of the early
history of their State and the part it
took in shaping the fortunes of indie
pendent colonies during the war of the
Revolution.

tOmahawks and rifles and dressed in

hardy were they that setting out from
Fredericktown on July Is, 1775, they
arrived at Boston on August 8, having
made the journey of $50 miles over
rough roads in twenty-five days with
out the loss of a single man.
"Fhe first soldiers from the South to
reach New England, they excited
much attention. These famous marks
men did good service before Boston.
One of their leaders, Cresap, marched
with death impending over his head
and lived tut three months after they
left Frederick. The other, Price, sur
vived to make an honorable record in
a number of campaigns. The conn
panies were incorporated into the rifle
regiment commanded by Stephenson, of
Virginia. After his death Moses Raw
Inns, of Old Town, became Colonel,
aud the deeds of Rawlings regiment
needs no mention here. Mention must
be made, however, of the Major of the
regiment, Ohio Holland Williams.
The convention made him Colonel of
the Frederick County Battalion in the
Flying Camp, but he felt the lesser po-
Sitlon was more suitable for him and
participated liz the gallant exploits of

his command and prisoner for some
months, he was next appointed Colonel
of the Sixth Regiment of the Mary

A BABE ON THE DOORSTEP.
Wrapped in a Shoulder Cape,
: With a Note Telling of it's Par
entage, the Infant is Com
mended to the Care of
Others.

1t is the unexpected which ALWAYS
happens, and this was never better
illustrated than by an incident which
happened in this city on Tuesday
night last. Whilst the family of Mr.
Dudley Page, a prominent townsman
and electrician in the employ of the
Frederick Electric Light and Power
Company, were partaking of their
evening meal, about seven o'clock, the
door bell rang and Calvin, the 14-year-
old son of Mr.. Page, answered the
somewhat hasty summons. In few
moments he returned with face, his
father described, like one who had
seen specter. and his hair on end,
and exclaimed in aWe-Stricken tones,
"Papa, there's live baby on the step.n
Mr.. Page at first thought it joke, but
upon repeated assurance of the truth,
went to the door and sure enough,
there in the vestibule, upon the door
mat, lay bundle, on the outside OF
which was woINan's shoulder cape,
carefully tied and arranged. The Con-
tents of the package, however, was
the greatest surprise, in the shape of a
blue-eyed baby girl, whose weakly
lung cries proved it's recent advent
into this seemingly unnatural world.
The bitter chill the winter night
had not yet penetrated the warm Gov
ering, as only short space of time had
elapsed from the ringing of the bell
and the startling discovery. The per-
son or persons who left the infant to
the tender mercles of public charity,
evidently made quick work of making
themselves scarce, AS investigation re.
vealed no one on the streets in that vi
cinity. Tender hands carefully placed
the new arrival in a comfortable posi-
ton and an inquiry was made as tu
it's identity. Upon the cape was pinned
a note upon which there was written
rudely information concerning its par
entage, with the request to call the
child Mildred and to see that it was
given good home.
The mother for it was evidently she
who had written the note. said that in
time she would come forward and ac-
knowledge the child, but that circuul-
stances compelled her to take the pres
ent course. The clothing on the in
FAINT was exceedingly ill-fitted for a
new born babe, consisting of only a
muslin gown several sizes too large,
rather dirty and indicating a squalId
birthplace if not the condition of the
mother, and the old, we'll worn shoul
der cape. The child was about seven
days old, healthy and pleasant-taced.
After ii had been made temporarily
comfortable, Mr.. Page notified the
Mayor, who had Justice Turner COM
nit the founding to Montevue. The
affair created much excitement anu
Mr.. Page was besieged 10y questions
from all sources, but he had only the
aforegoing information to make public.
