CITY RECRUITS FoR EARNS.

st. Michael's. Nd, Sept 22-Wi,Ms
H. Trice. a farmer, near ST. Michaei's,
Tablet county. had to so to Baltimore
last week to get laborers to save his
fodder. This does not look as if the
workingmen of Talbot county were suf-
fering for lack of employment. They
are not-those who will work. Farm
wages are good, but unfortunately there
are those who prefer idlins in the
towns to working on the farms-ne-
groes principally. If next Winter is a
severe one relief societies will have to
be formed TO feed and warm those who
are loiterers now. In the meanwhile.
there is always plenty Of unemployed
laborers stranded in the large cities,
who would he CAD to get work on
farms or anywhere else.

CHESAPEAKE MARKET FISHING.

no fish at all to market, and fishers for
sport are much discouraged and some

Some interesting details Of the man
ner in which the numerous kilograms
which the German emperor sends fly
ing about are prepared have been coli
lscted by the Berlin correspondent OF
the Lond-n Morning Leader. The
kaiser, it seems, does not
write his wires upon ordinary tele-
graph forms. Special paper of differ
emit sizes are prepared for him, some
in small Quarto, others in small folio,
They all bear the superscrlption, "Tele-
gram of his majesty the German en-
peror" Some OF the imperial tele-
grams are written according to his mai
esty's instructions, and signed by a
gentleman of his household, generally
Her Won Lucanus. Other kilograms
are subscribed by the kaiser himself
and yet another category, and by nc
means a small one, are written In full
and signed in the monarch's own hand
When the emperor is stopping in Ber-
lin his wires are conveyed by spe-
cial alce-de-camp to the telegraph OF
ice which has been fitted up in the
imperial palace, whence they are fash
ed to the Central Telegraph Office al
Berlin. AT the latter department sep
arate books are kept in which not only

every imperial dispatch are entered. al

thoriues hand over to the chief office
the originals Of all the emperor's tele'
grams. These are first checked and az

AN ANGlO-AMERlCiAlN ALLIANCE. /
There is a patriotism of race as well
as Of country-and the Anglo-Ameri-
can is as little likely to be indifferent
to the one as to the other, says Hon.
Richard Oiney in the Atlantic. Family
quarrele there have been heretofore
and doubtless will be again. and the
two peoples, at the safe distance which
the broad ATLANTIC interposes, take
with each other liberties OF speech
which only the fondest and dearest
relatives indulge in. Nevertheless that
they would be found standing together
against any alien foe by whom either
was menaced with destruction or ir-
rcparabie calamity, It Is not permits
sible to doubt. Nothing less could be
expected Of the close community be-
TIVE them in origin. speech, thought
literature, Institutions, ideals-in the
kind and degree Of the civilization en-
joyed by both. In that community and
in that cooperation in good works
which should result from It 1t is not too
much to say lies the best hope for the
future, not only of the two kindred peo-
PIES, but OF the human race itself.
To be assured Of it. we need not re-
sort to priori reasoning, convincing
as It would be found. nor exhaust his
torical examples, numerous and cogent
as they are. 1t is not enough to point
out that, OF all obstacles to the onward
march OF civilizations, none approaches
In magnitude and orduracy the
scourge Of war" and that the English
and American peoples, both by precept
and example, have done more during
the last century to do away with war
and to substitute peaceful and civil
lied methods Of settling international
controversies, than all the other ma
tions OF the world combined have done
during all the worlds history. II is
not too much TO hope, let us trust,
that the near future will show them
making even more marked advances In
the same direction, and, while thus con-
sulting their own best interests, also
setting an example sure to have the
most important and benehcent infiu-
ence upon the destinies OF mankind.

ALLEGED CUBAN SCHEME
Plan to Occupy Santiago Jointly with
the Americans,

tne Americanb.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 17.-General
Wood, through the vigilance of the Sc
cret service men, learned yesterday
that he Cubans had planned to make an
attempt later in the month to occupy
the city jointly with the Americans, in
pursuance of their desire to share the
civil administration of the town with
the American officers and place their
flags on the public buildings.
The plan of the Cubans, Gen. Wood
learns, is not to resort to any violence.
but to attempt to march into the town
peaceably.
The details of the scheme, however
are not yet known to the Americans,
but the Spanish and Cuban residents
of the town who know of the plan are
very much opposed to it.
They have petitioned the American
officers to remain and preserve order.
and nothing is more certain than that
the Cubans will not be allowed to enter
the city.
The Moro road, by which the Gu
bans had planned to come to Santiago.
is guarded by the Fifth regiment of i'm
munes, commanded by Colonel Sar-
gent, whose orders are to let no bodies
Of armed men pass.
Every one has been disarmed in the
town under the terms Of the proclama-
tion issued by General Shaftcr after
the news of the signing of the peace
protocol arrived.
Hundreds Of machetes have been TAX
en- possession of and stored in the pub
lie arsenals. Garcia's army Is now on
a twenty-eight day furlough. and most
of his men are at their homes.
The health of the town under the i'm
proved sanitary conditions is becoming
better. No new cases of yellow fever
have been reported. The sickness am
ong the Spanish prisoners, however, Is
increasing. 3,146 cases of illness having
been reported to General Wood yester-
day.
The principal complaints are malig-
nant malaria and acute dysentery. The
malaria is of an exceedingly deadly
type. The men loaded Oh board the
transports to be sent back to Spain
are in a wretchvd condition.
The transport ship Leone will sail
for Montauk Point to-day with the En-
mis- Light Battery and parts of differ
ent infantry regiments.

The dispatch authorizing the French
ambassador to sign the protocol look
ing to a cessation of hostilfties between
Spain and the United States began to
arrive at the embassy at l o'clock.
It was said at the embassy that as

went to the White House to consult
with the president.

The Dollar Mark Sign.

"There is a conflict among the
standard writers as to the derivation
of the dollar mark sign, S." explained
a treasury official ''and they seem to
be getting farther apart all the time
instead of approaching each other.
The popular theory among the older
authorities was that the dollar sign
was made out of the letters U. S.,
which we're prefxed to the currency of
the country. These letters were writ
ten hurriedly, and the theory grew
that they eventually ran into one con-
glomerate letter or sign, and that the
S was the result. This was the gen.
orally accep.ed -;planation until
about fifty years ago, when a promi-
nent financial authority advanced the
proposition that the dollar mark grew
out of the figure 8, denoting piece
of eight reals, the dollar being origin
ally called a piece OF eight. But there
is no certainty about it, and as the
dollar is clearly an American coir de-
signation it seems strange that there
never has been an official or authorlz-
ed statement as to the origin or de-
rlvation of the mark. y Washington
