Although Republican legislation caused an
increase of taxation, Carroll's tax rate is still
the lowest in the state. No county has had
better and more economical management.
Indeed, the tax rate would indicate that no
county is as well managed Do taxpayers
want a change?

If the Republicans win in Maryland this
year it is their purpose to have constitutional
convention and new constitution. The
chief purpose of this is to vacate all Offices so
that the party can capture the Judiciary of the
state. The expense ofSl25, 900 of holding a
convention is nothing, if partisan advantage
is to be reaped Let tax payers take warning.

LII" savers Cannot Reach This stranded
Three-Ntaster

tull'rigGed thrce-masted ship went ashore
south OF Spring Lake, y. j., and about two
miles north OF the Manasquan lighthouse last
night. The sea was so high that the life savers
ana not dare venture out, and at l O'Clock
THIS morning the crew had not been rescued. No
communication had been established with the
vessel and her name was NOT known.
The dangerous winds predicted by the
Gather Bureau swept up along the Jersey
coast late In the afternoon and the waves
began running so high that the life saw
ing crews were on n sharp lookout for
wrecks. Tho 8 o'clock watch OF Station No. S,
which is at Spring Lake. discovered the stranded
vessel shortly after she went ashore.
She sent UP signals of distress. The ship
could be seen stuck fast on q bar about 100 yards
from shore.
The waves wero breaking over her furious.
ly. Telephone messages were sent TO tho
crews OF stations No. Z and No. 8 asking for
assistance.
They responded and several attempts were
made TO launch the lifebonts, but they were in
vain. The men and boats wcro thrown back on
shore.
After it was seen that the effort to reach the
vessel by Iifcboats was useless the brccchcs buoy
was resortcd to, but at ! o'clock this morning
none of the crew had succeeded in getting to
shore.
II the vessel holds together until daylight,
even If the sea does not ahate, it is thought TINT
the men can be taken or with comparatively
little danger.

How His Father Mad TO Come to the Rescue
ut u Certain sale OF Tea.

When Seth Low was sinking his fathers
money in the tea business he had AS great a de-
sire to pose before the public as he has now.
He never missed an opportunity to make n
speech. Anent that bright, particular period
in his life the following anecdOte was told the
other day:
There was n sale OF teas one day in the old
auction room in Front street. Seth Low was in
the auCtionoer's box selling tea and making
speeches between sales. His father strolled In
Just to see how things were going. 1t did not
take him long to see that his young hopeful was
selling the teas for much less than cost. The
old gentleman stood around for a few moments,
then calling a broker to him he told him to buy
all the tea he could get at the price OF the last
lot struck Off.
The broker followed instructions. and in a
short time Low senior had bought oil the teas
Low junior had TO sell. The old gentleman then
turned round and sold the lot at q handsome
profit. Seth Low heard OF the transaction after
a while, and, it is said, it took him several
months to figure out how tho thing was accom-
plished.

Part or It's establishment.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 20.-Thc report that the
Bethlehem Iron Company has made an offer TO
sell its plant to the Government was confirmed
to-day by William Wharton, one of the largest
stockholders OF the company. He said, how.
ever. that the proposition has never assumed a
form that could bo called business and that
up to this time it had simply shaped itself in
the nature OF u verbal suggestion to the effect
thai II tho Government intended, ms has been
repeatedly intimatcd. to erect "A plant for manu-
featuring armor plate, il could buy tho Bethle-
hem Company's plant at u price below the
figures at which it could build one of its own.
Mr.. Wharton said he understood the Carnegie
Company had also made a similar offer, but
doubted whether either Of the propositions
would ever amount to anything:
"lf there was any reasonable head to deal
with" no continued. we might be able to tell
what the outcome might be; hut AT there is not
we have to deal viii Ignorant congressman who
pass laws and know nothing about them"
was reported that the Bethlehem Company
would dispose Of its works in their entirety at
100000, 600. This Director Wharton denied,
and declared no price had hecn set nor had any
animation been received OF the Governments
probable attitude IN the matter.

After a rather stiff fight on Monday the
British cleared the enemy from the Dargai
ridge, to the west Of Chagra Kotal, and burned
the village Of Dargai. They then returned 10
their camp. The enemy afterward reoccupied
the ridge with an increased force, taking an
exceedingly strong position near the summit of
Sasiksuk, a precipitous hill which is a thou.
