FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. IL, 1900.

LAST YEAR the democrats carried
Maryland by majorites on the State
ticket ranging from ten to twelve thou
sand votes. Tie republicans had held
the power OF the State since
1895. The principal cause OF the politi-
cal overthrow of the republicans was
that republican rule and negro crime
had gone hand in hand. Grimes OF
brutal violence pepetrated by negroes
against white women and children had
multiplied until the evil had become
intolerable. No poor mans cottage
during his absence was safe from these
negro brutes. Between the party
which based all its hopes on the solid
black vote, and the negro. whether az
active. aggressive criminal or sympa-
thizer with the criminal, there was
natural utilization. The good people OF
MARYLAND rose in their might and
trampled this infamous alliance IN the
dust. They ought to do so again this
wear. and With even greater emphasis.
To vote for Mckinley is 10 vote for the
negroized moDgrel party, the party
that is ready to bny the vote OF every
negro rapist or other criminal in order
to gain power. In the North these out
rageous crimes by the negroes are con-
doned by the republican leaders, while
they are constantly prat;ng OF the
wrongs Of the negroes. The Preiid tnt's
friends are loudly Boosting that he has
done more for the negro 10 the way OF
patronage than any President who ever
held his Office. This is done by the
President in the South; not in the North.
The republicans consider that the negro
at the North ought to vote their ticket
but not to hold office, but that any
negro is good enough TO hold office at
the South and to rule over white men.
A long list of these negro appointments
mas been published. There can hardly
be a doubt that they encourage negro
insolence, and thus incite the negroes
to crime.

RADCLIFFE GIRLS TO HELP
VIII Assist In Care of Cuban Women
Teachers at Harvard.

The expected arrival of the Cuban
girl teachers at Cambridge, Mass, has
naturally reused the patriotic zeal of
Radcliffe students as well as the inter-
est of Harvard men and of the commu-
nifty at large. Radcliffe will be very
cordial in its overtures for the comfort
of the woman contingent, and II stu
dents have offered themselves and
been accepted as teachers and interpre
tiers, says the New York Sun. At pres
ent it is supposed that between 800 and
900 Cuban women will present them
selves for study, and of these only 5
per cent know English. 1t IS necessary,
therefore, that all the classes be con-
Quoted in Spanish, and Spanish is a
language with which the typical Rad
cliffe girl is not as n rule familiar.
Still, there are some dozen students
who can be of decided use, and they
will do their best to compensate in
quality for their meager numbers.
The Radcliffe council was requested
at it's last meeting to give up the houses
and grounds of this college to the uses
of the regular Harvard summer school,
the beauty of such an arrangement be-
ing that it would leave Harvard itself
entirely at the disposal of the Cuban
guests. The council has not yet given
it's decision in the matter, but there is
n good prospect that its answer will be
favorable to the Cuban cause.
Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, formerly
the president of Wellesley college and
now on Radcliffe's advisory board, will
give up her house to Mrs. Alice Gordon
Gulick, who is to act as the dean of the
woman's department of the Cuban
summer school. The house Is the
charming old Peabody mansion, which
faces on Quincy street and from its
back windows commands beautiful
view of the entire college yard. Mrs.
Gulick is Il graduate of Mount Holyoke
college and has become widely known
because of her connection with the In
ternational Institute For Girls in San
Sebastian, Spain. She is an accom-
plished Spanish student and a tactful
woman, able, as few American women
of scholarly qualifications could be, to
understand and sympathize with the
conventionalities which must surround
the Spanish girls. One of the ii college
girls will in every case accompany the
women's afternoon excursion parties,
which are TO form such an important
part of the whole educational scheme.

In days when superstition was more
prevalent than it is now the shape and
appearance of the finger nails were
considered to have reference to ones
destiny. To learn the message of the
finger nails it was necessary to rub
them over with 4 compound of wax
and SCOT and then to hold them so that
the sunlight fell fully on them. Then
on the horny. transparent substance
certain signs and characters, were sup
posed to appear, from which the future
could be interpreted. Persons, too,
having certain kinds of nails were cred
tied with the possession of certain
characteristics. Thus a man with red
and spotted nails was supposed to
have a hot temper. while pale, lead col
ored nails were considered to denote q
melancholy temperament. Narrow nails
were supposed to betray ambition and
quarrelsome nature, while round
shaped nails were the distinguishing
marks of lovers of knowledge and peo-
pie of liberal sentiment. Conceited,
narrow minded and obstinate folk were
supposed to have small nails, indolent
people fieshy nails and those of a gen.
tie, retiring nature broad nails.

Ouestion Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at I. H.
