No United States Senator Yet.

The United States Senatorial contest
is still going on in Annapolis, and at
this time it is almost impossible to
name the winner. The first vote on
Tuesday last, resulted in Wellington
receiving twenty-three votes, the high
est cast fer any candidate, yet far
short of the vote he claimed to have
back of him. On Wednesday he re-
ceived three additional votes, which
were eight less than bis hackers claim
ed would be the result. The result of
the vote on Thurs lay, yesterday, was
twenty-six votes for Wellington, fall
ing off of three from the day before.
The Eastern Shore people very natu-
rally insist upon strict compliance
with the law, which says one of the
Senators must be from the Eastern
Shore Mr.. James A, Gary, in the
event of break in the present condi-
ton of affairs, would carry off great
many votes. 1t is claimed in Annap-
oils that one of the best equipped men
for the place in the Republican party
is Judge McComas. His extensive ac-
qu1intance with the prominent party
men, his long career in national mat
tiers, makes him most desirable cam
didate, and it is believed he would
develop considerable strength should
the present condition of affairs con-
tinue. 1t is claimed that Wellington's
friends would prefer Judge McComas
to Mr.. Carey, whom they now accuse of
having broken faith with them. Gov.
Lowndes has always been very friendly
with Judge McComas.

Death of Chief Judge Robinson

The sudden death of Chief Judge
Robinson, of the Maryland Court of
Appeals. on Friday last, in Annapolis,
was great shock to the people of the
entire State Judge Robinson COM
manded the respect and confidence of
the people to y large extent and was
an able and conscientious Judge. The
successor of Judge Robinson will be APP
pointed by Governor Lowndes. as well
as the Chief Judge of the Court of APP
peals. The lawyers of the State gen.
orally recognize Judge McSherry as
the most fitting successor to the late
Chief Judge-he has marked ability,
as is we'll recognized by all who have
ever been before the Court; his won
derful energy and thorough knowledge
of the law, makes him the legitimate
successor to Judge Robinson We are
confident Governor Lowndes could not
make more deserving or more pop
ular appointment.

dinner the other day, Il want You to

Sunday"
''All right. my DEAR" said Johnson
I'll be home by four"
So that afternoon Johnson's wife sent
the children over to visit on the other
side of the town and stuffed rags in all
the cracks to deaden sound. After
fervent prayer that all the neighbors
would be out of town for a few hours
that afternoon, she was ready for John
son.
He arrived promptly.
'The stove is out in the woodshed,"
said his wife
The stove was not very large, and
after johnson had dressed himself for
the occasion, with the help of Mrs.
johnson, who had taken care to have his
old clothes and gloves handy, he got the
stove to the back porch without much
difficulty.

johnson as she mixed the backing. 1t
blackened to a beautiful finish, with
very little rubbing. and Johnson
whistled at his work
Then he tackled down the oilcloth
mat and the zinc and kept on whistling.
He took the stove in and carefully put

There was plenty of old stove pipe,
and while he cleaned it in the alley with
a stick Mrs. johnson sat on the back
porch and listened to him whistle.
The first joint went on all right and
the damper stayed in place The next
joint fitted so well that johnson almost
stopped whistling in sheer admiration
Tor it. and so did the next one. The
elbow fitted admirably and the collar
and the last joint went on like a top.
The seam was on the right side all the
way up.
There was not even speck of SCOT on
the papers Mrs. johnson had spread on
the carpet.
In ten minutes more johnson had q
lovely fire and was in his business suit
again spick and span reading the paper
while his wife got supper.
1t was just here that there was say,
age nudge in Johnson's left ribs and he
heard his wife tell him to wake up and
hustle out now, for it had been daylight

OUR ANNAPOLIS LETTER

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 18th, 1896.
The absorbing topic at the Capital of
the State this week, the Senatorial con-
test, as Overshadowed for the mo-
ment in the shock of the announce
ment of the death of Chief Judge Rob-
inson. The news of his illness had
hardly reached the State House before
it was followed by the announcement
of his death. Amid the sorrow OF his
death aud tributes to his worth the
Democrats could not but feel afresh
the injury that had been done
the common fold 10y the erring breth
rem who deserted it on the 5th If No
vember last, when it was realized that
the vacancy gave Gov. Lowndes the
appointment of Republican success
sor and the naming of the Chief Judge
of the State. So it will be at every va
cancy in the Judiciary. Indeed, the
Independents themselves are already
realizing the extent of the revolution
they have wrought. With the realiZa-
ton comes the regret.
Senator Bruce, of the Senate, has
done the wise thing in the appoint
ment of his committees. He gave the
Democrats the chairmanships of all
the committees save two and these
were wise and delicate touches of right
and prOpriety. He gave Senator Sloan
the craftsmanship of the Committee on
Executive Nominations. Senator Sloan
comes from Allegany and is the per-
sonal friend and ally of the Governor
and it is always desirable that the
Governor and the chairman of this
committee be on friendly relations.
Then Senator Bruce made Senator
Randall, another Republican, chair
man of the Co imittee on Civil Ser
vice Reform aud Election Reforms.
Now this is peculiarly wise. The Re
publicans have the Governor and the
House and this committees compost
ton practically enables them to perfect
and bring into the two bodies, with
almost the certainty to pass, any re-
form measures in appointments to Of
flee or in the election machinery, that
they choose to formulate. President
Bruce has just deity put on the Re-
publicans the responsibility of what
ever is done or not done in civil SER
vice aud election matters this winter.
The Senate Is moving on In its accus-
t. med orderly ways of business, and
seeing the cordiality between the DEM
ocratIc Senators, one who did not
know, would hardly suspect how close
the unterrified came to losing the or
ganization of the Senate.
All forms of legislation, even the
ever present reassessment bill, take a
minor place. and the Senatorial con-
test is the great question of the hour.
'Weilington's. failure to bring his party
into caucus foreshadows defeat to his
aspirations Senatorward, though no
one knows what changes day may
bring forth. If he had succeeded in
rallying his political forces into caucus.

votes to make him the party's nomi-

The Gold Syndicate Dissolves.

Seldom have we ever had more
complicated condition of national af-
fairs as now present themselves to the
people of America. The entire finan-
cial system seems to be undergoing a
fiery ordeal, and it is to be hoped for
the good of the country that a solution
will soon be reached, which will re-
lieve us of all uncertainty as to the
future. The great Morgan Wall street
gold syndicate, which is reported to
have made eleven mil ion of dollars out
of the last bond transaction, has been
dissolved. This action upon the part of
the Wall streetpeople has been brought
about to great extent through the
agency of the New York World, which
has undertaken to insure the success OF
a popular loan. The World commune
Gated with the various banks of the
country as well as with the great trust
and deposit companies, and secured
the assurances that sufficient bonds
would be taken, thus doing away with
the necessity of the gold syndicate.
OF all the banks in this city we believe
the Frederick County Bank was the
only one ready to go to the assistance
of the government, and thus help to
prevent the gold syndicate from dicta-
ting humiliating terms to the admins
tration. 1t is always well to have
some faith in the patriotism of the peo-
pie.

The Island of Jamaica-HoW Little
We Know of It's Beauty.

A number of Americans are turning
their attention to the Island of Jamaica,
where American capital has just COM
pleted a railroad the entire length of
the island, about one hundred miles.
The government has conceded thou
sands of acres to the projectors, who
propose to encourage coffee and fruit
planting on a very extensive scale.
The fruit culture is most extensively
engaged in by the natives as well as
by those who have gone to the island
t. seek investments The residents are
beginning to realize that the United
States is their natural trading point
and several lines of steamers have
already been started, which bring to
us all the varied fruits found upon the
Island, as well as mahogany and other
valuable woods. One of the trees most
sought after is a yellow wood, which is
sent to this country and is here extern
sively used by large dairymen for col

problem Of how the golden colored
butter we Zee in the North is made.

the smallest number, the brown race

who outnumber both of the other
classes. The climate is delightful, the
country very high and dry. The prin-
cipal city numbers about twelve thou
sand people and is supplied with excel

is extremely cheap. The winter months
are delightful and many visitors from
the United States seek the mountain
resorts which are becoming quite nu-

srnor Of the island is most hospitable
and extends cordial welcome to all
who visit this most desirable country.

Havana, Jan. 15.-The rebel force
under command of Maxine Gomex at
tackled the town of Bejucal, fifteen
miles south of Havana, but were re.
pulsed by the government troops. Be-
fore they retired the insurgents setfire
to several houses on the outskirts Of
town. They also set fire to the rail-

by the insurgents no trains are being

Jewett Stove Works at Buffalo De-
strOyed by Fire.

Buffalo, Jan. 15.-The warehouse Of
the Jewett Stove works, situated at
the corner of Perry and Mississippi
streets, was destroyed by fire last even
ing. The loss is estimated at $3.50, 900,
of which $15O,OOO is on stock, many
thousand stoves being stored in the
building. The fire started about 9
o'clock, just after the men had quit
work, and spread so rapidly that the
building was soon enveloped in flames
and doomed. The entire fire depart
ment was brought into service and sue
ceeded in saving the main buildings and
other adjoining property. The plant
is one of the largest in the country and
employs at present $50 men. The origin

EXPECT TO RAISE THE SIEGE
10000 Italian Troops Marching to
the Relief of Makalle.

Rome, jan. 15.-Several papers here
announce that Great Britain has
agreed to cede to Italy the town of
leila, on the Somai coast. The pos
session of this town would enable
Italy to throw troops into the southern
and central parts of Abyssinia without
their having to make the long march
from Massowah, the capital of the
italian colony of Erythrea. A dispatch
to the Capitale from Massowah says
that the Abyssinians yesterday att
tackled Makalle for the fifth time. The
Italian garrison withheld their fire
until the Abyssinians were in close
quarters and then poured volley after
volley into them with terrible effect.
Just about the time the attack was
made four thousand troops under Col.
Albertone arrived at Makalle. They
surprised the Abyssinians by attacking
them on the flank and completely
routed them. A column of 1000 men
under Gen. Baratieri, the commander
of the Italian forces in Erythrea, and
another column, 1900 strong, under
Col. Arimonde, are nearing Makalle,
and it is expected that they will raise
the seige of that place.

FEEDING OYSTERS.
A Plan to Fatten Them on Pure Ma.
teriaIs.

Plan to Fatten Them Pure Ma
teriaIs.
Oysters, being scavengers, fatten fast
est in ocean waters fed by river drain
age. This explains why oystermen
transfer the oysters by ship loads from
the bays along the Atlantic coast, where
they multiply rapidly, but where, in
consequence of the lack of food, they
are stunted in growth, to the estuaries
of Connecticut, New York and New Jer-
sey. 1t is believed, however, by many
of the oyster growers that if the BIZ
valves could be fattened in pure sea
water they would be of better flavor,
as well as more wholesome. The diff
Guilty has been to provide the proper
food. After seven years of experiment
these oyster growers have hopes that
the difficulty has been overcome. The
new method, which aims to supply the
requirements of pure water and the
necessary food, has been put in prac-
tice on the shores of eastern Virginia.
Situated, as it is, near the end of the
peninsula, there are no streams of any
size flowing into the bay, and the water
is as unpolluted as that of the ocean it.
self. In the low, marshy ground that
fringes the bay a number of parallel
canals are to be eXcavated, the sea water
being admitted into them by sluice
gates. In these canals the oyster will
be grown. The mollusks will find there
their natural food, which consists of
diatoms and other minute algae, which
are reproduced in prodigious quantities
under the conditions existing of the
mixture of salt water with a small per-
centage of fresh water. The practical
bility of the plan has already been
shown on a small scale. Thus far the
practice has been followed of trans
planting the small oysters from the beds
Of the canals. But with the plan in full
operation this will not be necessary,
as the canals open right on the breed
ing grounds, and during the early sum-
mer, when the spawn is given off, it will
hoat into the canals, and oyster beds
will be planted naturally Other adj
vantages claimed for the new method
OF culture are the easy exclusion of the
enemies of the oyster and the convent
ence of harvesting.-N. Y. Post.
