MISUSE OF FUNDS CHARGED.
4 Judge Makes Allegations to 3
Maryland Grand Jury.

A Judge Makes Allegations to Il
Maryland Grand Jury.
LAUREL, Nd, Oct. 10.-Considerable
comment has been occasioned in the coun-
ty by Judge Merricks charge to the grand
jury at the opening of the present term OF
court, in which the judge said that there
had been irregularities in the expenditure
of county funds, and that, if this were not
stopped, the finances of Prince Georges
would speedily revert to the condition in
which they were some years ago, when it
became necessary to appeal to the general
assembly to cover the deficiencies.
The judge said that he had procured this
information from a prominent citizen CT
Baltimore, Speculation is rife as to the
public officials he considers derelict.
The county commissioners have in
structed their counsel John B. Contee. to
proceed at once to stake necessary steps"
to recover from two former treasurers of
the county, or their securities, one of them
being dead "the amounts due to Prince
Georges county by the said treasursrs.
The commissioners will meet again on Oc-
tober H. by which time the grand jury, it
is expected, will have made its report.
The bonded debt of Prince Georges is
now in the neighborhocd of $780, coo, most
of which was issued under act of the gem
eral assembly in order TO place the county
upon a cash basis

business appointments Immediately after
the performance, and had to save time.
there might be some sense in this frantic
desire to get into the aisle, but nobody
night, after an evening of pleasure. The
whole matter is simply due to certain un-
reasoning and more or less l-bred impulse
to get ahead of some one else, and it is
time that it became questionable. That
is the only thing that will stop it; the ac-
tors can do nothing, however much they
may be annoyed.
Another thing which needs attention from
the public, and also from the managers, is
the habit which some people have of coming
in five, ten, or fifteen minutes late. Two
or three prominent actors have taken UP.
this matter. by establishing an inflexible
rule that no tardy conner can have seat
this in their advertisements and advance
notices. This has worked we'll wherever
it has been tried, and if managers in gen.
eIal adopted some such plan it might break
up the habit of coming late. If people
know that they will be obliged to stand
for fifteen or twenty minutes unless they
fui about it. But. as in the other case,
fashion will do more than anything else to
abate this nuisance

Cnn War Re A,erted.

In the absence of any explanation of the
sudden stoppage Of telegraphic communi-
cations in South Africa, it is quite i'm
possible to be sure that the blow which
would mean a fight to the finish has not
been struck somewhere in the region.
Barring that contingency. there appears
TO be some opinion in London that the
preparations which the British Govern
ment is making for war are on so large
scale, indicate such a firm determi-
nation to compel reforms in the Trans
Taal and to maintain the imperial prestige
IN South Africa that Kruger and his coun-
Gil, who really constitute the sole power
in the South African Republic, will realize
The futility of resistance and make the
best terms they can as an alternative TO
the extinction of their state.
Perhaps this idea is fed by the cert int ?
that the Beers are without the smallest
chance OF success against such an army as
viii be placed in the field against them
before the end of November. unless they
make submission in the meantime. 1t may
be said, however, that what is quite obyi
Gus TO the rest OF the world. may be en-
tiTely obscured to the minds of the igno-
rant and fanatical burghers OF the Trans
vaal.
The delay which President Kruger has
considered advantageous to his cause Is
now beginning to tell on the side of Eng
land. There is good reason for believing
that Mr.. Chamberlain is in possession OF a
note from Portugal granting permission
for the movement Of British troops througa
Portuguese territory from Delagoa Bay.
snd that this arrangement, If availed of.
will not bring any protest from the Con-
tinent. We have hitherto referred to thu
great military advantage England would
enjoy in the opening of this line of ad-
vance. 1t would enable Sir Redvers Butler
Ia drive straight across country for Pre-

Good Manners i'm the Theatre.

Now that the theatrical season has begun,
it may not be amiss 10 comment on a GER
tain trick which certain class of theatre
gosrs have, of rising TO leave their seats
just minute before the curtain goes down.
The custom of wearing offensive millinery
during the progress of the play has fairly
died out; no woman of reasonable taste
and refinement thinks Of keeping her hat
on after the curtain rises; but there are
great many people who ought TO know bet
ter, who help TO destroy the effect of the
closing scene by putting On hats and wraps
and rising 10 their feet just before the end
of the last act.
This is one OF the matters in which two
or three individuals can set a very disagree
able fashion. When a few people near the
front of the house make such a disturbance
that those Immediately behind them cannot
get view Of the stage, the latter natu-
rally lose interest in the play, and begin
TO move about also; and the restlessness
OF the few spreads to the many, until
considerable part of the audience, which is
interested in what the actors are doing, is
entirely unable TO see the stage at all ex-
cept by standing up. There is no reason
for this impatiencc; the audience can only
file out by taking certain length of time
about it; and those who, in their hurry.

ward the door do not gain more than halt

REPUBLICANS STIRRED UP.
Mr.. QuiEg Appeals for RocseveIt's
Oratorical Aid.

ALBANY. Oct 10.-Chairman Quigg of
the New York city Republican organiza-
ton, called on Governor Roosevelt yester-
day afternoon and earnestly solicited his
aid in the metropolitan campaign.
Mr.. Quigg wanted NE to arrange to de-
liver several speeches down there, said
the governor. after his caller had left,
but l had to compromise it by agreeing
10 make one speech | don't know when
c. where / am to speak as yet, however"
Governor Roosevelt declared that this
was the sole object of Mr.. Quigg's visit
and that nothing else had been discussed.
Mr. Quigg would not talk about his trip 10
Albany or the political situation in New
York city, but politicians here think the
Republican organization must be sore
pressed when ii demands the governor s
services at a time when he is known TO BE-
fairly submerged in important work in his
Office
One of the results of Mr.. Quigg's call
was seen in the prompt announcement by
the governor that he would not meet the
State Tax Commission today. as he
had expected to do, to settle the impor-
tant franchise tax question.
