With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thaty have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only. and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-infor1nede everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
9Sed and gives most general satisfaction.

Original story by Miss -, of St. Mary's

PART III.
| fall on my knees and clasp the
cold hands. All, yes! | have
wandered Ger the world, have wept
and prayed to look once more in
that dear face, given up my life to
the search, and now, after long
weary years, my prayers have been
answered, but the answer comes too
late.
Mural, speak to me, only one
word T! Say you forgive your Mar
jorie. See, l am kneeling, pray
ing that you will speak. | do not
deserve your forgiveness, but l
plead for it. Only one word, Mu-
rial! cannot live my life without
it,
AS if my cries had pierced the
stiffness and the gloom of the dark
river, and stayed the soul on its
homeward course, quiver runs
through the still frame, and the
face commences to work convulsive-
ly.
Mural, Mural, come back to
me! Do not leave me! Do not
leave me! Heaven seems so far,
so far, Mural, and the road is dark
without you. not glimpse ahead,
and, shall lose my way in the
darkness and never see you again.
The eyelids were raised slowly,
and the dear eyes looked into mine,
dimly at first, and l knew that her
soul was taking flight. Then, the
vision grew clearer, a faint smile
quivered about the mouth. Her
hand commenced to move feebly
over the coverlet until it rested
upon a cluster of tiny curls. l
understood the beseeching look in
the eyes gazing into mine, and
gathering the babe in my arms, /
stood erect.
'Murial,' | cried, for the sin of
the past, | will atone by my love
and care of your child. l will
guard it as l would my own. I will
give my life. my love for it. My
love! All, Mural. listen, you may
trust me now
The smile grew brighter on the
white face, but her breath was COM
ing in quick gasps. Her hand
moved slowly and rested upon me.
God bless you, Marjorie ? Then
the smile fades from the still face,
the hands grow quiet; and a cry
comes up from my breaking heart,
for / know that Mural has left
me.
All, the anguish of those mo.
ments that came and went while
crouched by the bedside, holding
in my arms all that was left to ml
of my little sister.
Those who had gathered around
in pity for my sorrow, left me aloni
with my dead, and yet | was moi

SENATOR GORNAN FOR CON.
GRESS.

The Washington Fast, in its issue OF
December Bird, suggests to Senator Cor
man that he should consent to be a
candidate for Congress from the 5th
Maryland District. 1t considers this
his great opportunity to remain in
public life, if he has the desire; and
surely this part of Maryland would be
honored in its Representative, should
Mr.. German be elected. The Post says:
will Mr.. German consent to become a
candidate for Congress in his own district
next fall? II SO, the way would seem
clear to his elevation to the high and res
ponsible office of Speaker of the House
His district, although now represented by
a Republican, is naturally democratic, and
if he were the candidate, would undoubt-
edly give him a handsome majority. His
position in the House would not be mat
ter of question: He would be the Demo
cratic leader Since the death of Speaker
Crisp there has been no one on the Demo-
cratic side of the House possessing all the
qualifications of undisputed control. The
party has wandered in detached squads,
lacking discipline and unity of purpose.
Mr.. Germans superior claims would be
at once recognized, and his selection for
the Speakership would be matter of ac-
clamation, No one in the House could
for moment contest the honor with him.
To the discharge of his duties he would
bring his natural eqnipoisc, his clear Wis
ion, his long parliamentary experience,
his tact and wisdom, his accurate judy
ment. A partisan in politics, he would
nevertheless display as Speaker those
broad characteristics which have made
him citizen above party"

G.. H. Stanley, of Laurel, and ID. NJ. Nesbit
of College Park, with power to communi
cate with every farmers club and agricul-
tural society i'll the State for the purpose of
getting representatives from each to attend
the Legislature to urge legislation on this
subject Beltsville Grange on Tues day
evening also took similar action, and then
to cooperate. Thus, with the combined
efforts of the farmers and wheelmen, it is
believed that the Legislature will be com
PEELED to recognize the appeal.
Gen Roy Stone, director of road in
quiry, United States Department of Agri-
culture, who is one of the leading authori-
ties on the subject in this country, was a
guest of the club, and made an excellent
address, covering in detail the various
features of road construction. Local or
CARNATIONS to look after the roads III par
ticular sections were recommended.
Speaking of convict labor, the General
said that the convicts should be employed
in preparing the material, and the State
should. under competent engineers, have
charge of the construction of the roads.
A change in the administration Of roads
was sorcly needed
General Stone advocated the establish
mcnt of postal savings banks in the coun-
ties, the money deposited to be invested
in county bonds for the improvement of
roads and bearing a low rate of interest,

SULPHUR AND DIPHTH ERIA A.

\ subscriber sends the Sun the follow
ing, taken from the FITNESS, of Belfast,
Ireland, some years ago. 1t is of interest
at this time in view of the prevalence of
dlptheria Baltimore.
SHOULD you or any of your family be
attacked with diphtheria,' states the arti-
Gle, "be not alarmed, as it is easily and
speedily cured without doctor. When
it was raging in Europe a few weeks ago
accompanied DR.. Field on his rounds to
witness the called wonderful cures he
performed, while the patients of others
were dropping on all sides. The remedy
to be rapid must be simple. All he took
with him was powder of sulphur and a
quill, and with these he cured every pa
tient without exception. He put a spoon
full of flour of birthstone into wineglass
stead of spoon, as the sulphur does not
readily anal gamate with water. When
the sulphur mixed he gave it as Il gargle,

fungus in man, beast and plant in few
minutes. In extreme cases, in which he
has been called just in nick Of time, when
the fungus was too nearly closed to allow
the gargling, he blew the sulphur through
a quill into the throat, and after the fun
gus had shrunk to allow of it, then the

If Il patient cannot gargle, take Il live
coalc, put it on shovel and sprinkle a
spoonful or two of flour of birthstone at
time upon it, let the sufferer inhale it
and the fungus will die. If plenti-
fully used, the whole room may be filled
to suffocation; the patient can walk about
in it, inhaling the fumes with the doors
and windows shut. The mode of fulni-
eating Il room with sulphur has often
cured most violent attacks of cold in the
head, chest, &c. at any time, and is recon-
mmended in cases of consumption and
asthma '-Bufj,nnre SIN.

the presence of Mrs. Fillmore Bcall, Mrs.
Mayrudcr, the Misses Sarah, Bell and Mol
lie Ma-ruder and Miss Graham, the sec
rotary read an interesting letter from Col.
w. S. Powell, of Annapolis Junction.
Colonel Powell said that the roads of the
State should be built by convicts. There
is not month in the year that work can
not be done on the roads. The question
of the control of the convicts is simple
one. Il law empowering institutions in
which convicts have been committed al
lowing them to transfer them to the care
of county sheriffs for employment on the
public roads will cover the whole system
of control, because the sheritfs have a
right to appoint as many deputies as is
necessary. A system of 800 miles of road
would practically open up every county
and give hi ghways to all central or dis
trihuting points by following this route
starting at Il line on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland, in the boundary between Mary
land and Virginia in Worcester county OPP
posite Franklin, Va, and going to Princess
Anne, Somerset county, then to New Mar
ket, Dorchester county: fredericksburg,
Caroline county; Cordova, Talbot county;
Centreville, Queen Anne's county; Mas
sey's, Kent county; Elkton, Cecil county
you take in practically the whole of the
Eastern Shore. For Northern Maryland,
from Elkton to Belair, to Cockeysville,
Baltimore county. and thence to New
Windsor, in Carroll county. For Western
Maryland, to Frederick, to be int"rsrctcd
at this point by road starting il. ooulAern
Maryland, at Leonardtown, St. Mary's
county, one branch to Prince Frederick,
Calvert county; thence to Upper Marl
boro', Prince Georges county, and the
Other branch from Leonardtown to Port
Tobacco, Charles unity, and thence to
Upper Marlboro, to Annapolis, Ellicott
City, Boyd Station, Montgomery county
and thence to Frederick, from Frederick
to Hayelst, WI, and from Hagerstown to
Cumberland, via Hancock, and Cumber-
land to Oakland Garrett county. This
route would give each county about an
equal number of miles of good roads and
would also pass the territory not traverscd
by railroads. The Site geologist states
that suitable material can be obtained
along this ronte for tie roads. Roads
should be divided into three divisions, one
with a hard bed for heavy hauling, one
with light bed for driving, with we'll
constructed sideway for bicycling. In
conclusion Colonel Powell says:
Il would not propose to build all this
entire system of roads in one year, but by
building about 100 miles IA year, within five
years we would lave system of roads
which, in connection with the steam and
electric roads now existing, that would
put us i'll the advance guard of the road
development, and, | believe, the value of
our farming land would be increased fully

THOSE ELECTION CONTESTS

We referred briefly last week to the
contest which Capt. Gordon has insti-
tuted for scat in the State Senate.
He has been turned down by the peo-
pie, but he seems unable to realize that
elections mean something and when Il
candidate is defeated at the polls that
that should be the end Of it. If Captain
Gordon cannot understand why he was
beaten. he should refresh his memory
in some of our recent local political
history. He was not regularly nomi-
mated by his party, at least he was not
the choice of the convention which
claimed to represent the organization.
He was put upon the ticket to promote
harmony as it was thought, and in Or
der to make place for him the regular
nominee, who was a nativc-born citizen
and a very worthy young gentleman,
was compelled to stand aside by the
bosses. Such an astute politician, as
Capt. Gordon appears to be, should
have realized that defeat stared him in
the face from that day. The harmony
which the Republicans expected to
produce was only on the surface. The
good people of Prince Georges pre-
ferred one of their native-born citizens
to stranger from another state, an
eX-Army officer, who had acquired citi-
zenship here only few years previous
to his entry into the political arena.
The result was perfectly natural.
The contest of Mr.. Rollins for Mr.
Whites seat in the House of Delegates.
notice of which was given since our
last issue. is somewhat analogous. 1t
is true that he was one OF the nominees
Of the regular convention, but he was
overwhelmed, as were some others OF
his associates on the ticket. hy the tide
of popular discomfort at the manner in
which the Republicans managed things
here in the last campaign.
Mr.. Fisher in deciding not to make
contest tacitly admits the fairness of
the election, and robs the case of the
contestants of any moral support that
they might hope to excite even among
partisans. The sentiment Of Rcpubli-
cans from all parts Of the county, as
expressed here on Tuesday, shows that
these contests are looked upon with
disfavor. The people Of this county,
irrespective of party, will not counte-
nance movement which can result in
good to nobody except ambitious poll
ticians.
The election has already cost enough,
and the people are tired of frivolous
contests,
