Snmmer FIirtatioIe.

The summer filtration, which has passed
into permanent comic history along with
the SD serpent, is the worst vagary Of
the irresponsible summer season, and can
only be accounted for in all its crudeness
by The scarcity OF men. Mothers who are
like waichful dragons all the rest Of the
year, shut their eyes when their daugh-
tiers go off on strolls and rides and drives
with men who's only letter of intro
duction is their name on the hotel regis
ter, and whose claims to be received
in good society rest in a suit OF white
flannc!s and an ability to dance the two
step. Sometimes the man turns out to tie
all right. Sometimes he is an adventurer
of the worst type. OFTEN he is one who
would Ieve. be received in the girls
home, and is one whom she is expected
20 cut should she meet him anywhere
else. 1t is "A paradoxical situation that
would be amusing If it did not hold in
it 10 many elements of tragedy. As it
is, we accept it calmly, with a smile and
a shrug that dsolaims any responsibility.
1t belongs to the season, and that eX-
plains u nd justifies anything in our happy
go-lucky school of summer philosophy.

Rice Weddings wastefuI.

Evidently rice is more popular feature
of English wedding s than ours. We Ameri.

don't always con slider it necessary to
sprinkle our nuptial doings with rice enough

year might have been of very great use in

European news is OF rather an innocuous
character today. Germany still is showing
q disposition To harass Greece in the mat
ter OF her financial settlement. England
again is reported as firmly insisting upon
the unconditional evacuation of Thessaly by
Turkey. If the other powers have expe-
rienced any change of attitude on this ques-
ton, the news does not show it. 1t is a
very tickhsh matter as 1T stands. Lord
Salisbury has fatty insisted upon evacua
ton. Turkey as definitely has refused 20

republic OF Central America for permits
SION to take the Nicaraguan pro ject out OF

cUBAs NEXT PRESIDENT.
Election to BE Held in Spite Of Op.
position From Spain.


New York Sept3 .-Advices to the Herald
dated Camaguey. August 1 8. say that the
approaching presidential election, to be
held there on September 2, in spite of the
efforts of the Spanish army to prevent It,.
lends new interest TO this section of Cuba
which is today, as it was during the ''ten
years war" the stronghold of the Cuban
revolrtit uists. Enough Gen. Calixto Carol,
win probably be presented as candidate
by some Of his closest personal friends,
who have been elected deputies by the
first ard second army corps, which he
commands, there seems to be very slim
chance of the generals election.
1t is reported that he is willing to ac-
cept the presidency, provided he is at the
same time given personal command OF the
army. This, of course, would amount 10
a dictatorship. Ittwould also deprive the
army OF its present commander, Gen.
Maxine Go mez, whose military ability is
acknow lodged by all Cubans. Besides, the
majority Of Cubans repudiate the Idle Of
any man assuming dictatorial powers.
IL is difficult TO predict who Will be
chosen president, but, judging from pres
ent appearances, everything points IL, the
reelection OF President Cisneros His revv-'
lutionary prestige is above that OF any Of
the other candidates, most OF whom are
comparatively young men. Vice President
Massos chances are also good

A UUiuue PIent.

A singular freak of nature is that in the
possession of lady living In the northwest
portion of the city. In the spring she
planted a slip from a rose in Tot. Some
little tlme after a common weed. of the
bindweed variety, appeared by its side.
IL grew until it began to assume some of
the characteristics of the rose. 1t put
forth thorns amid its leaves. Finally, the
rose died, but the weed flourished. It's
stalk is now about an inch in circumfer-
ence, and side 10y side grow the mature
weed with its thorns, and the young shoots,
being those OF the weed in its primitive
state.
Pessimists would draw a dark inference
from tine fact that the weed imbibed from
the rose none of Its beauty, but only its
objectionable feature; and the contact
resulted ia tho death OF the beautiful an
the survival of the unlovely.
This peculiar growth will probably be
of interest to the botanist.

FATALsPRACuCAL JOKE.
Pretended Burglar Killed by His
BrOther.iC.Law.

Princess Anne, Nd, Sept. IA prac.
tical joke resulted in the death of Marion
Dykes at an early hour yesterday morning
at the residence of his brother in-law, John
Snockley, who resides in Somer set coun.
ty, about three miles from PocomOke
City. Marion Dykes drove with his brother,
Clayton Dykes, to the residence of his
brother-in-law, John ShocKIey, at an early
nour yesterday morning for a pairc calves.
Shockiey, having been aroused from his
slumbers, and fearing they were burglars,
secured his shot gun.
without giving any warning as to who
they were, although repeatedly called by
shockley, they went to the back porch
and attempted to open the door. Shock
ley demanded what they wanted. Marion
Dykes, having no idea that Sbockley was
armed, in order to frighten him, said.
I'VE are after you; W have come to take
you" lie followed this remark by press
ing upon the door, which Shockley was
holding Oh the inside Finally the door
was forced open just far enough for
S AockIey TO get his gun through and fire
It. The whole load took effect in Marion
Dykes forehead bet ween the eyes, kill
ing him Instantly.
Clayton j ykcs aud all others who were
present admit that the shooting was
purely the result OF fright, the parties
being upon the best of terms.
