M'COMAs WINS THE FIGHT
Elected to the Senate to Sue
ceed Mr.. German.
ONLY ONE BALLOT TAKEN
Bitter Speeches Made BY Friends
of the Leading Candidates and
Broad references to Bribery Made
Vote Was 63 to Al, With 4
for Shaw-An Exciting Day.

Annapolis, Md, Jan, 25-After q
most exciting session of the Maryland
legislature, Judge Louis E. McComas
was declared elected United States SEN
ator to succeed United States Senator
Arthur p. German to-day. He receiv-
ed sixty-three votes, against forty-sev-
en- for Mr.. German and four for Mr..
Shaw. fifty-eight being necessary to a
| choice. The only absentees were Dele
gates Malcom, of Baltimore country,
/ and Taylor, of Carroll Only one bal
lot was taken in joint convention.
President of the Senate Randall ear
| ly III the session made a bitter attack
on Senator German. the Democratic
candidate. Delegates Miles. Writ and
| Wilkinson, Democrats. defended Sena-
| tor German.
Delegate Scirm, who was the last to
cast his ballot, eulogized Judge McCo-
mas. The vote as above stated was
then announced, amid great applause.
The speech of President Randall
caused some surprise, and was COM
mented upon by the Democratic mem
bers. Mr.. Randall, by virtue of his
office as president of the senate. would
become governor of the State if Gov
Lowndes had been elected Senator
which seemed probable at one. time.
Senator Randall is president of the
Civil Service Reform Association, a
fact which was referred to by Dele
gate Writ.
Mr.. Writ said he was surprised at
such a speech coming from civil ser
vice reform man. He characterized Mr..
Randalrs appeal to members of the
joint assembly TO come into line" as
an invitation TO come and participate
in the spoils of office. He stated that
in Mr.. German's three elections as
United States Senator in that hall no
one had ever made charge that brib-
cry had been attempted, as had been
charged there to-day. 1t was stated in
this connection that certain politi-
clan attempted to bribe a delegate with
a sum of money and railroad pass to
abstain from voting.
Senator Westcott, of Kent county,
who had antagonized Judge McComas,
voted for him to-day. He was the first
to change, and when his vote had been
recorded the McComas leaders We're
greatly encouraged.
This encouragement was increased
when Speaker Schaefer, of the house of
delegates, in an explanatory speech, |
named Judge McComas. Other boilers |
quickly fell into line, but it was two |
hours after the assembling of the two |
houses before the first and only ballot |
was announced.
Senator elect McComas has not been |
in Annapolis this session, neither has
Wellington shown up at the State capi-
tai.

formal. 1t was intended that detach-
ments of infantry, cavalry and marines
should be detailed as an escort to ac-
company the visitor to the Arlington
Hotel. All this pomp, which was Sc
Vereiy criticised at the time of the Wis
it to Washington of the Spanish Bour-
bon princess, EuIalie, will not be in ev-
idence. but this absence of the militia
~ feature is at the request of the yis-
iting president, who prefers that his
reception be essentially democratic.
Mr.. Porter, secretary to the Presi-
dent, will be at the station to meet Mr..
Dole, and will accompany him to the
hotel Mr.. Porter goes as the repre-
sentative of the President, so that the
first courtesy between the Presidents is
to be from the President of the United
States to the President of Hawaii. The
question as to the etiquette of these
calls was discussed yesterday with Mr.
Adee, First Assistant Secretary of
State, by Mr.. Porter. During the day
the Presidents Will exchange calls.
The program for Mr.. Dole at present
is that he shall be entertained at a
dinner TO be given him on the evening
of February /. 1t is probable that Mr..
Dole will become acquainted with
many public men at the diplomatic
dinner to be given tonight at the
White House. The list of guests has
not been given out as yet, but it was
said yesterday that Mr.. Dole would be
on the list.
Apart from the Presidents dinner
and the Othrer. social courtesies from
President and Mrs. Mckinley, it is un-
derstood that a dinner will be given to
him by Minister Hatch, and that an
other dinner and reception are being |
arranged by an officer of the State De- |

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe Eff
fectuaI Cure for 1t.

! Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable,
The usual symptoms are a full or bloa ting
sensation after eating, accornpa MED some
times with sour or watery risings. a
Formation of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs, and difficult breath
ing: headache, tickle appetite, nervous
ness, and a general played out, 1anguid
feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and il the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show
Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure for this corurnon and obstinate
trouble is found in treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of
the stomach
To secure prompt and healthy di-
gestion is the one necessary thing to do,
and when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal ia blet, composed of Diastase,
Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being pat
ent medicine, can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ppetite
and thorough digestion will follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr.. n. J. BOober, of 271O Dearborn ST.,

A cardLeaxing Courtesy

1t is a question with not few ladies
whether they should or should not leave
cards upon those from whom their chill
dren have received invitations, although
strangers TO themselves. 1t frequently
happens that this is the case, and that
children mutually invite each other, al
though the parents are unaeauainted.
When such invitations are accepted the
mothers generally leave cards on the chill
dren's hostesses, after the entertainments,
not with an idea Of calling. but simply of
acknowledging the civility received To
do this is not a binding obliga ton, how
ever, and the matter is left Co individual
discretion. When it is fulfill ed it is
considered kind and Courteous: it does
not esta blish acquainta uceships, in the
first instance, unless circumstances arise
to further them.
