REPUBLICAN REVOLT IN MARY
LAND.

Annapolis, January 4.-What promises
to prove serious split among the Repub'
licans in the Maryland legislature de-
veloped tonight when an attempt was
made to caucus for officers to the general
assembly which convenes tomorrow.
Twelve of the eighteen members from
Baltimore city refused to take part in the
cuacus and the other Republicans met
without them.
The recalcitrants are known as NAL
ster' men, because they are adherents of
that faction which recently dethroned
United States Senator Wellington from
the leadership of the party in the state.
Ionight's action is looked upon as pro-
test against the proposed election of Judge
McComas to the seat in the United States
Senate now occupied by A. p. German,
and it is asserted that the Malsterites will
combine with the Democrats and organize
the lower house tomorrow unless their
demands are complied with.

year on record since the establishment of
the department in 1868. For the year
1897, the commissioner has paid to the
State treasurer $12, 1C4, which he has re-
ceived in feas, against S1l, ,l43 for the year
1896, or gain Of S96l There are now
more companies and more agents au-
thorized to transact business in the state,
than ever before. The taxes during the
year 1896 were $35. .5S029 which was the
largest amount ever collected. and the re-
ceipts on account of taxes for 1897 will un-
doubtedly be greatly in excess of those
collected in 1896.
The recent fall Of snow was % palatable
dish to set before Kennebec ice laborers,
and they caught onto it with keen relish.
During the past few days a largo number
of men and teams have been employed at
scraping the fields, and the present out
look is that there will be no lack of work
for several days to come. This means an
output of thousands of dollars, the greater
part of which will go into the hands of
those who will readily exchange it for
the necessaries of life. The butcher, the
baker, the grocer and the tailor will come
in for share of the earnings of the hun
dreds of men who will find employment
on Kennebec ice fields during the next
few weeks.

A rather curious mixture of religion
and the exact reverse occurred last
Monday night at the Anhcuser beer
hall. Mr.. Hirsh!and, the manager, con
cluded to vary the monotony of saloon
life by turning the place of sin, for a
brief hour, into Il church, and accord
ingiy invited the Salvation Army to
hold services inside the bar-room.
These religious zealots, ever anxious
for fray with the devil in his own lair
eagerly accepted. As result, Mr..
Hirshland, and later, Mr. Grunbaum
were arrested for permitting females
10 sing in their saloon, AMI contributed
915 to the city treasury. In tho mean
time the devil runs rampant, and the
Army will henceforth be forced to coax
rather than drive the prince OF evil
from his den.-Boise Sentinel.

And bites and swiftly drives to fastest

Beside, and to life's sluggish droop-

Imparts a wondrou5 mightiness and

And summer garlanded in flowers APP

To find in thee my highest joy and
