News and Notes.

The first movement toward inagurat-
ing the municipal political campaign
has been made by the Republicans. The
city executive committee of that party
has been called to meet next Monday
to consider plans for continuing the
party in power, and for the selection Of
dates for suggestion meetings and pri-
mary elections.
There are early indications that the
leading Republicans realize that their
control of the City Council is in dan
ger, and if the party leaders control the
suggestion meetings and primaries they
will endeavor to get out the strongest
material. There have been few, if anys
municipal legislative bodies which have
been SO freely and so frequently crit
icized as the present Council, but it is
understood that nearly every member
of the body will be candidate for re-
election.
The municipal election promises to
be notable one, because of the intro
duction of new factors into the fight,
and the average voter will probably
ignore politics entirely and vote for the
candidates rather than the party. The
Federation of Churches is making
plans to get into the thick of the fray,
and the organized labor representatives
will also take a hand with a view to
selecting men who are friendly to
unionism and the principles which it

pleased with the result of the election,
and it was apparent from the number
of callers he had at his rooms at the

ers were we'll pleased to see him. By
strange coincidence a number OF
prominent West Virginia Republicans
happened in the city during the same
day, among them Judge Reese Blizzard,
Of Calhoun county, and State Senator

Senator Scott will remain in the city

Training Canaries.

In the canary-breeding establish
ments of Germany only the male birds
are valued, because the females never
sing. The method of training the
birds to sing is to put them in a
room where there is an automatic
whistle, which they all strive to imi.
tate. The breeder listens to the ef-
forts of the birds, and picks out the
most apt pupils which are then placed
in another room for further instruc-
lions. These are the best singers,
and ultimately fetch high prices. The
less gifted birds are sorted into sec.
ond and third quality, and are sold,
while those which show no vocal pow
ers are destroyed, German canaries
are exported to all parts of Europe,
to America, and even to Australia,
and command higher prices than those
bred in other lands because they are
the best singers, for among breeders
of other nations more attention is
given to form and color, comparative
ly little care being taken to cultivate
song.

One Wife Surely Enouuh.

Margherita Arlina Hamm, traveller
and author, called when in China upon
the wife, or rather the wives of
great mandarin. Her visit partook
of the nature of festival, so novel
was the experience to the Chinese wo-
men, whose lives are passed almost
entirely within the walls of the va
men. They examined her clothing
and were partly astonished at it. They
were shocked by her shoes, and espec.
tally by the fact that her feet were
not confined by bindings.
Finally one of them said, through
the interpreter: "You can walk and
run just as we'll as man."
"Why, certainly"
"You can ride pony as we'll as a

Condition Of the Crops.

Wheat held up well under the
trying conditions in the fore part
of the week, although it was be-
ginning to look badly in places
before the rains. 1t is now COM
ing to head with a stalk
shorter than the average in a
number of localities. The gen
eral outlook continues good for a
satisfactory grain yield, although
it is thought that the straw will
be lighter than expected earlier
in the season. Timothy and
crimson clover suffered apprecia.
bly, during the long dry spell,
and the hay yield will undoubt-
eddy be reduced. Reports from
some districts are to the effect
that an average hay crop is out
of the question, while in others
the reviving effects of the lains
have called forth more hopeful
predictions. Glover is now in
full bloom, aud will soon be
ready to cut in Anne Arundel.
Oats suffered considerably until
the rains, but now shows marked
improvement. Rye is reported
in fair to excellent condition, al
though, like wheat, it is gener-
ally heading low. Pastures have
revived in all sections. Land is
being prepared for buckwheat in
Garrett County. Corn in the
ground for the past three weeks
is just beginning to terminate.
In some fields the prolonged dry
spell hardened the soil into "a
thick, impenetrable crust, and i'll
such cases much replanting will
be necessary. The early corn
that came up before the dry
weather is now growing nicely.
