Widow BedotI Coming.

On Wednesday next widow Bedott' =
with all her queer eccentricities, man
nerisms, witticisms and laughable acts
will hold the boards at the Opera House
for the one night and give the AnnapO-
lis public delicious, quaint represeD ta-
tion of the peculiar down east spinster;
a character that has caused thousands
to scream with delight, at the truthful
mirthful impersOnation. Mr.. Horace
Ewing who impersonates the widow,
although portraying 1t in a manner
somewhat different from that Of Mr..
Neil Burgess, causes it to lose none Of
it's meritoriOus effect, but imbues it
with an identity all his own. The play
will remain only the onenight and those
who enjoy a lively, clean. laughableper-
formance will all be there.

A NEW ELECTION LAW.


RevoIntioRize the Present system
The new election law now pending IN
the Legislature, if passed, will revolu-
tionize the registration system and, in q
measure. the mode of appointing judges
and clerks and the duties of the election
supervisors and the canvassing board.
The proposed bill covers eighty eight
pages. 1t provides for the election OF
three supervisors, one to he fTom the
party not in power, whose salaries shall
be S75 year and in counties OF more
than fifteen polling places the county
commissioners may increase tie salary
TO $3.50 each. The supervisors, who are
now appointed by the Governor and get
S25 each year, are TO be provided with
an Office and, If the county commission
ers think advisable, may have a clerk or
SO. The supervisors are To be vested
with power To appoint four registrars
of voters who are also to be the Judges
Of the election.
The supervisors are to appoint the
polling places. The health officer must
report to them monthly all deaths OF
male adults. In the counties there is to
be a general registration every preslden-
tial year. Baltimore city has regulations
of its own. The supervisors are to have
printed, after the final registration OF
voters, lists containing the names of all
the voters which are to be placed on sale.
The board of canvassers is to take the
place of the return judges and are to com
prise the election supervisors, state s ut.
lorney and chief judge of the Orphans
Court. They will meet on the next Tues
day after the selection in the Court House,
in the counties between II and O'Clock
and canvass the returns. The supervls-
ors are to publish in two newspapers the
names of the registrars-and clerks. The
old system will be the less expensive, but
great stress is laid by the author of the
bill on the fact that the registrars, being
also the judges at the polls, can more
readily detect illegal voting.

a Horse Thief.

John l.. Benjamin, in the rear of the
store of Mr.. James Phillips, OH West
street. early Sunday morning and stole
his valuable sorrel horse. In order to
get to the animal they had to pass be.
tween two other horses in the rear of
the stable. 1t is supposed the horse was
taken early in the morning before the
residents of the neighbOrhood were up,
as he had eaten all the food put in his
stall at a late hour at night. The theft
was reported to the police and parties
were sent in the direction of Prince

search of the animal. Mr.. Benjamin has
no clue whatever Of the thief, but thinks
it was some one familiar with the stable,
us be had a certain place to put the bri-
die, which was taken also with the
horse. Since the above was put in type
we learn That the horse was found near
Iglehart's station, where it had been
turned loose by the rider.

Napoleon's Value Of a Victory.
It Ands Striking Counterpart In Recent
World Triumphs.

Napoleon knew well the value of a
victory. After Austerlitz the world
seemed his Fame invited, fortune
favored, everything stimulated his
aspiring ambition. With growing
power he gathered the fruits of vic
tory. And so has 1t ever been. Sue
cess succeeds. A notable illustration
Of this truth is furnished by the great
victories won at the Worlds Fair in
90, and the California Midwin ter
Fair In '94, by DR.. Prices Cream
Baking Powder Ever increasing
sales and popularity have been the
result. The people have promptly
ratified the Official verdicts that de-
clsred DR.. Prices, for leavening
power, keeping qualities, purity and
general excellence the foremost bak-
ing powder In all the world" Quite
as quickly a. the great Emperor do
they know the value OF a victory that
means world wide supremacy.

Court, to succeed Judge Charles ID.

should be but one name presented to

by reclamation that Judge Long sue
coed himself. His careful and logi-
cal work since he has been on the
bench proves his eminent fitness :or
the place, and has done much to sus-
tain the high reputation in which
our highest jud cial tribunal is held,
and his experience will allow even
better work In the future. We move
his nomination by reclamation.
