MARYLAND REPUBLICANS MAD.

A few days ago, it was stated that Admiral
Schley would be given command of the South
Atlantic squadron. This made the whole state
of MARYLAND mad. The Marylanders claim
that Schley deserves something better, and
they propose to see that he gets it. Leading
Republicans of the state have told Mckinley,
in plain terms, that the treatment of Schley by
this administration will lose Maryland to the
Republicans. 1t now remains to be seen what
Mckinley and his crowd will do.

STANLEY is so busy having good time that
he is unable attend to his official duties. Dur

neglecting the states business, and promised
the people that if they would elect him, they
would have governor who would stay in his
office and attend to business. Yet, Stanley
does not spend one day in seven in his Office at
the state house.

DREYFUS IS PARDONED.

The Council of ministers" has pardoned
Dreyfus, ard he is now with his family. 1t is
stated that his health is gone, and he can live
but short time.
Dreyfus was not guilty, but to declare him
innocent was to put certain French army officers
of high rank in an ugly hole, which was not
to be thought of for moment. Therefore,
Dreyfus must be murdered practically in or
der to save the French officers.

before the little redness begins to itch and

Concentrating MIR. w. II. Woodward

The eightieth birthday of Mr.. William R.
Woodward was pleasantly remembered by
the Sunday school of Wesley Chapel NJ Z.
Church, where Mr.. Woodward is still active
as one of the teachers. during its regular
session on last Sunday morning. The super
intendent of the school in few words con-
graduated Mr. Woodward upon completing
his four score years, and expressed to him
the good wishes and the love of the school;
comparing his life with that of Caleb who,
at eighty-five years, felt as strong and able
to do battle for the Lord of Israel as he did
at forty. Mr.. Woodward responded in
happy strain, and related many incidents
from his own long and eventful life. He
was presented with a beautiful bunch of
water lilies from the officers and teachers
of the school. Monday evening Mr.. Wood
ward received the members of the Sunday
school board of Wesley Chapel, who called
to pay him their respects, in the Sunday
school room of the church. Refreshments
were served. and with many expressions of
affection and good will the evening passed
most enjoyably. Mr.. Woodward was born
July 8, 1919, in Georgetown, near where
the Farmers and Mechanics National Bank
now stands. He has been lifelong Meth
odist and member of Wesley Chapel since
1853. During his entire connection with
this church he has been active in Sunday
school work

S TRlKE STILL ON
Electrical WoraeF Say They Are Winning
the Eight.
The Other Side Confident and Firm
What t.Hobiected


There is but little change in the condition
of the strike offs thsc members of Local
Union No. 26, National Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers. from that stated in
The Star of last evening
"A meeting of the strikers was held this
morning at Electrical Workers Hall, cor
ner of 18th and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, and was largely attended At
ter adjournment it was announced that
Mr. j. c. Blundon. manager for the Cap
ital City Armature and Machine Company,
had signed the proposed agreement and
had put several men at work at $3.50 per
day of eight hours. 1t was also stated
that while the meeting was in progress
committees from the union mounted on BIZ
cycles had been visiting the various jobs
where non-union 'elet trical workers are
employed, and that in a number of in
stances they had succeeded in getting men
to stop work and join the union.
The further statement was made that al
ready many men belonging to the craft
have come here from Baltimore, Newport
News, Norfolk, and elsewhere, expecting to
go to work, but were captured by the
strikers, who explained the situation to
them and induced them to return to their
homes. These were paid their transporta-
ton expenses out of the treasury of the
local union The strikers appear very conf
dent of success, and say they expect to Sc
cure the signatures of several contractors
to their proposed agreement during today.
The Other Side.
The contractors other than Mr.. Blundon,
who does not, it is said, do exactly the
same line of work as the other employers
of electrical workers in the city, who were
seen by a Star reporter, said they had no
intention OF yielding to the demands of the
men in the matter of wages, and they
would not, they said, sign the proposed
agreement.
They were not, they asserted SO much
opposed to an eight-hour day, as they be-
lieve tat is coming for mechanics general
ly. They are, they said, opposed to deal
ing with the union as body, each con-
tractor preferring to deal directly with his
former employees. Each of the contractors
seen likewise stated that thus far the
strike had not affected his carrying out his
contracts, and they claimed that they can
easily supply the places of the strikers
should they so desire. AT the same time,
they do not, it was asserted, care to take
the step, as there have always existed cor
dial relations between the employees and
most of the contractors.
1t was developed today that almost every
contractor in the city has been paying S.
a uay of nlne hours to some of the men,
and that these quit work when those who
were receiving less amount of wages did

The Marine Band Concerts.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The remark is frequently heard that the
open-air concerts of the Marine Band come
at an hour when all Washington is either
eating dinner or getting ready for that i'm
portant event. Even the music of this ia
nous band cannot "soothe the savage
breast" of the man who is tired and hungry.
1t might not be considered proper to sug-
gest change of hour for the White House
concert, but the greatest number of citizens
would be pleased if we could have concert
at the Caption once week at a popular
hour
On Sunday afternoon almost the entire
population is at leisure and could attend;
but if Sunday concerts are considered unde-
sirable, L would suggest an evening concert
beginning a little after sunset. After din
ner is the proper time for recreation. That
is the hour when all the world is in good
humor, of course, excepting the anti-expan-
