WORCESTER oOUNTY.

Snow Hill, Md, Jan. 90. = The
records in the Office of the clerk of the
Circuit Court for Worcester county
show that during 1890 there we're filed
there for record new mortgages to the
amount of SIG, 238. 95, and mortgages
were released to the amount OF $780, :
075. 10, leaving an increase of mortgage
Indebtedness of s3l, l63. rs. OF the
$50, 1853. 95 in new mortgages, el7, ,375 il
held by building and loan associations.
These figures are, of course, exclusive
of the "a, 600, 600 mortgage of the N. Y. !,
p. & N. Railroad Co., and the Ielease
Of old mortgages of the same company
aud represent local transactions only.
Worcester county has long been a
Gretna Green for Virginia people, and
the record for the past year shows that
of the total number of marriage licenses
issued 20 per cent were for Virginians.
An examination of the various items
shows that the Oldest ones married were
a widower Of 10 and q widow of GO, and
the youngest bride was girl Of ID,
who has since separated from her hus-
band. A license was issued yesterday
to q young man Of II and a widow Is

Cos. Of tn. on,oaro Platform.

Mr.. Bryan is quoted as declaring that
"the principles Of the Chicago plat
form should be adhered to at oil costs,"
and the New York World points out
what this 1e to delusion has already
cost, as follows:
/. 1t cost the Presidency in 1896.
2. 1t has cost thirteen United States
Senators. Tho Democrats have now
the smallest representation in the SEN
ate that they have had since the war.
They have not SINGLE Senator from all
the North, East and West. except one
from Utah, one from Nebraska (by az.
pointment In place of q Republican who
diodl and one from Montana, who is
liable to be expelled fol- having bought
his seat
B II has cost ths Rovernship in every
State outside the South except Col
orado and Idaho, and three governors
OF Southern States Kentucky, North
Carolina and West Virginia.
a. 1t has cost four successive defeats
in thu general elections worse
than the one preceding it,
MIR. Mokinley's electoral majority in
1896 was %. If the States had voted
for Presidential electors at their last
elections the Republican majority
would have been 123-a net gain in
three years OF 2S.
Surely this is mighty stiff price to
pay for the pleasure OF chasing polit-
ical delusion, and II Mr.. Bryan cannot
see this. his friends should not be
equally blind. They should endcavor
to drag him away from his delusion, SO
that he may not again drag the Demo-
cratic party to defeat.
But, despite Mr.. Bryan's stubborn
folly, the 16 TO delusion may not in
trude itself into the coming campaign.
Not even his eloquenoe, says the Balti-
more Sun. "can arouse popular interest
again in the question Of free silver
coinage, much less In the old thread
bare debate over bimetallism and mono
metallism. 1t will not be the battle Of
the standards-or if it should bo the
Democracy will bs found fighting not
under the banner Of tho silver barons
or the silver oranks, but under the flag
of the Constitution, which stands for
equal rights to all and special priv
leges to none,' and for the cause OF
human freedom and the right Of self
government throughout the world-in
Asia, Africa and the remotest islands
of the sea, as well as in republican
America. Under that glorious banner
the Democracy may yet win, but not
under the flag of school of political
enthusiasts, inscribed '16 to l, If we
die for it, or words to that effect, F"
There would be plenty of Democratic
inspiration in campaign Of this char
acter, instead of the certainty Of Demo.
cratic defeat, as Mr.. Bryan would
have it.

synra,,,y-ana mxpnn.len.

That public sympathy in this country
with respect to the war in South Africa
is divided, is not to bo wondered at. A
sympathy with England is but natural (;
while many people sympathize with
the South African Republics because
they favor a republican foim OF govern
ment, Notwithstanding that these two
Republics, in many of their restrictions
and prescriptions, arc rather examples
of the most despotc monarchies thnn
OF free governments. But they are
called Republics, and the namc attracts
the sympathy.
1t is a curious fact, however, that
the strongest Boer sympathizers in this
country are found among those who
favor the Mckinley polio, Of expansion
and endorse his cruel war Of conquest
In the Philippines. How paradoxical
this is. They give their sympathy to
one set of people because they live
under an alleged republican form of
government, and encourage the cruel
persecution of another people who have
boen fighting for liberty and iudepend.
enoe for over three hundred years.
At a pro-Boer meeting held in Wash.
ington on Sunday, this curious ex-
preston of human nature was alluded
to by two of the speakers. Senator
Allen of Nebraska said: "A man cannot
believe in the cause Of the Boers, and
at the same time uphold our govern.
ment's course in the Philippines. -
Congressman Clark OF Missouri said
"Wherever people are struggling for
liberty, they should have the friend
ship Of all Americans. !"
These views are correct, and no people
on the face of the globe are more de.
serving of American sympathy and
American consideration than the brave
and patriotic people of the Philippine
Islands.

rHg FIRST sArLIse eus.
It Was Made and Tested IN Indianapolis Il
1864.
Seli-Culiure,

sslf-Culiure,
The early inception of the Gatling
gun is wrapped in much obscnIity.
Some French critics claim that their
mitrailleuse aDtedates IL, but there is
absolutely incontrovertible proof that
not only is that net so, but that the
French government made strenuous
efforts to secure exclusive control OF
Cuttings invention; failing which,
their competing mitraiIleuse quickly
followed tine adoption of tho doctor's
gun by the American authorities. Some
good Christians have claimed that DR..
Gutling invented this famous weapon
from humanitarian motives--an argu-
ment which has some weight, as we
we'll know that mob, or regiment,
oven, will very quickly get out of range
and danger when once it is known that
such gun is facing them. The doctor
himself calls his invention "peace-
MAKER" but, with the greatest respect
to him, i do not believe he had any
idea of saving life or anything of that
sort in mind while at work upon the
gun, whatever he may have thought Of
it since. There was field for weapons
offensive and defensive, the more MUIR
derous the former the better, and from
what then existed In firearms and from
the fertility Of his own brain, the
Gatling gun was evolved tho first of
its kind.
His experimental gun was made and
tested before military men and experts
at indianapolis in 1862. When the first
lot--paid for by DR.. Gatling---was ready
for shipment to Gen. Butler, the fac.
tory burned and with it his guns were
destroyed and his hopes blighted.
Another year and many thousands Of
dollars were spent to remake the pat
terms and drawings and new batch of
guns--a year Of heart-burning, pinch
ing and sacrifice that many of US at
some time or another have experienced
and, therefore, can fsympathize with
the sufferer. Gen. Butler used some Of
these guns on the James River, near
Richmond, and the way in which their
inventor cherishes the records of the
execution wrought by them is amusing
when one thinks CT the humanitarian
theoi les attributed to their origin.
In 1868 the government officially ap-
proved the gun and, after tests that
make an inventor shiver to think Of,
placed an order for 100
Then not only did the powers OF
Europe order guns, but so did China,
Japan, Siam, Egypt and the South
American countries. A machine gun
that spread devastation in a swath
wider than company Of infantry, and
fired inch bullets at the rate of 1000 a
minute to-day fred electrically, its
speed is slightly in excess of 5000 per
minuteD was a revelation to most
foreign experts, and no Christian or
other power could long Withstand the
temptation of moving down its Chris
tian or other fees at any such rate and
by machinery.

FIVE GENERATIONS PHOTOGRAPHED.

the latter's little infant. 1t was but
few years since Mrs. Hindel's mother
died aged 104 years. This interesting
family are all residents Of Wilmington,
Del, Mr.. Wilkins birthplace, and are
oil persons Of prominence in their
locality. Mrs. Hindel was Miss Lloyd
and sister of the founder of the great
steamboat company bearing that name
which plies between England and New
York, her father was the owner of large
granite works liz England and there is
an estate Of considerable amount await
ing the pro6f Of the proper heirs in
London and America. Mr.. Wilkins and
his family have been In communication
with we'll known law firm in London.

Death of Henry A. HAzsn.

Washington, Jan. %. Henry A.
Hazen, one of the chief forecasters Of
the Weather Bureau, died here tonight,
as the result Of injuries received last
night by bicycle collision with a
negro pedestrian. His skull wassbadly
fractured and he continued unoonscious
up to the time Of his death. Prof.
Hazun was we'll known among meteor
ologists and scientific men. He was
born in India so years ago, his father
being missionary. He was graduated
from Dartmouth College and then was
connected with the scientific depart
ment Of Yale University for nine years.
He Joined the United States Signal
Service. now the Weather Bureau, in
1881. He was single and lived with q
sister and two nephews. Another sister
is a missionary.

the Grip Epidemic ,u London.

The epidemic Of influenza, or the
grip, now prevalent in London, Is CT
startling proportions, according to the
correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post. Last week, he writes, its
death-roll numbered $40. the highest in
nine years. Physicians are unanimous
in declaring that the pest is of mild
type this year, and to this very mild
ness in measure is due the Leaviness
Of the death-roll. 1t is impossible to
make victims consider themselves in
any further danger the moment the
first symptoms have been subdued.
Hence the huge crop of exposure pneu-
monia. As in previous outbursts, the
disease takes several weeks to spread
from the great centres through the
rural districts, thus proving its highly
contagious character. 1t has Just begun
to rage in the provinces, and isspecially
severe on the west and east coasts, in
Wales and Norfolk. The most annoy
ing feature of the disease is that it
pays no regard to the usual rules of
procedure among infectious disorders,
hut has a special preference for pre-
vious victims. Secondary attacks are
seldom as severe, however, as the
primary.
A prominent physician has noted,
according to the same correspondent,
as a curious and unexpected result Of
the intense depression following the
malady that craving for stimulants
leaves its victims on the very verge of
alcoholism. Men of standing and
prominence who in health never dream
of over-indulgence are shocked to find
themselves consuming large quantities
Of whisky and craving for more. For,
tunately the craving ceases with the
relief of the morbid depression which
gave rise to it.
