WHEELER FAvoRs BIG ARMY.
1t Is the Only Safeguard Against the
Horrors OF War, He Says.

1t Is the Only Safeguard Against the
Horrors OF War, He Says.
CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-Ceneral Joseph
Wheeler made strong plea for the
standing army in his convocation ad-
dress at the University of Chicago. He
declared that the most certain way to
avoid the desolation and the horrors Of
war was to be constantly ready with
men and arms for every emergency;
that the only security for peace was to
be always prepared and ready TO engage
in war. At the close of the address
General Wheeler was cheered by the
students, many of whom are from the
Southern states, and when the univer-
sity band struck upthe tune of Dixie
enthusiasm rose TO high pitch.
General Wheeler's topic was "Our
Pacific Possessions. He briefly traced
the history of development of the islands
recently acquired by the United States
and gave the results of his own obser-
vatious as to the resources and POSSIBLE
tiles of our new dependencies. He said
the destiny Of the human race was to
be guided in the future largely by the
government of the United States.
1--WE are now great world power"
he said, "and the destiny of the human
race is sure to be guided by the inf1u-
ence of this government. They should
be impressed with the memory of the
flag floating over the schoolhouse, and
songs breathing patriotic devotion with
in its walls should be indelibly con-
nected with the first impressions of the
youth of our land. -

The deceased was the daughter of the

Magruder She was the last surviving
member of her immediate family.
The remains were taken to ST. Ambrose's
Catholic Church, where Requiem Mass
was celebrated for the repose of the soul,
from thence to the old Magruder home
stead in the Forest" where she was laid
to rest with the many who had gone before
Thus has passed from our midst one
who, by her beautiful, consistent, Christian
life and many virtues, endeared herself to
all Devoted to her family, a true and
faithful friend, she will be sadly missed
by large circle of relatives and friends
who may be comforted in the belief that
she has heard the blessed words addressed
to those who take up their cross and fol-

full servant, enter into the rest prepared
for thee"

MI Were for Mu:lu.

The Republican Congressional Conven-
tion of the Fifth district of Maryland met
at EVANSVILLE, Tuesday and made the
following nominations:
For Congress-Hon. Sydney e. Mudd.
Delegates to the National Convention
in Philadelphia-Enoch B. Abel, of St.
Mary's county, and DR.. Washington G..
Tuck, of Anne Arundel county.
Alternate-James I. Caulk, of Balti-
more city, and James Morris, colored, Of
Howard county
Presidential Elector-t'rank Parran, of
Calvert county.
Member of the Board of Appeals. A.
B'undon, of Prince Georges county.
M inley and Mudd' was the slogan
of the convention. The two names were
together on hundreds of fluttering flags
and the walls of the Masonic Hall, where
the convention was held, were literally
covered with them.
Nothing could have excclled the har-
mony of the convention. The machinery
was we'll oiled and moved smoothly and
easily under the guidance of Dr.. Wash
ington G. Tuck who presided. On the
floor former Adj Gen. l.. Allison Wilmer
and ex-State Senator Thomas Parran
made the moves.
There was but one break in all this,
and a calamity was ayerted only by the
most delicate stratgy upon the par. of the
leaders. The cause of the break was the
anti civil service sentiment that even
before the convention was called to order
by W. T. S. Rollins, manifested itself.
The feeling was strong and was led by
cx-State Senator George D. Day, of How
ard county. During the early proceed
inys of the convention General Wilmer
was handed an anti-civil service resolu
ton by member of the Prince Georges
delegation. To scotch" any such move
General Wilmer asked that all resolutions
be referred to the committee on resolu
lutions without debate.
Mr.. Branson, this county, vigorously
opposed this motion, but was Oyerruled
by the chirman, who explained that the
motion was customary.
General Wilmer finally reported that
Mr. Branson had been overruled by the
majority, and had agreed to let the reso-
luton drop.
The resolutions as adopted indorse
President Mckinley and Congressman
Mudd for re election.

Condition of the Crops.

The Agricultural Department Tuesday
issued the following summary Of crop
conditions:
Rain is now generally needed northward
of the Missouri and Ohio rivers, the lack
of moisture being most seriously felt in
Michigan and portions of Wisconsin,
Minnesota and North Dakota, while Il
large part of Texas continues to suffer
from the effects of the excessive rains OF
the two preceding weeks. Phenomenally
heavy rains for the season occurred IN
California, causing some damage, but on
the whole they were greatly beneficial.
The temperature conditions over the
Northern and Central districts west of the
Mississippi were favorable, but it was
much too cool in the Lake Region. Ohio
Valley, the Middle Atlantic States and
New England, where frequent frosts were
more or less destructive.
The cool, dry weather has retarded corn
planting in the Ohio and Mississippi Val
leys and Lake Region, but favorable pro-
gress has been made in the Middle Allan
tic States. In the Missouri Valley the
conditions have also been generally favor
able for planting. In the Southern States
the reports concerning Corn are generally
favorable. except in Florida and portions
of Texas.
Owing to low temperatures and absence
of rain winter Wheat has made slow pro
gress in the Ohio Valley, and complaints
of serious injury by fly in Tennessee and
rust in South Carolina and Georgia are
reported. In the Middle Atlantic States
and generally to the west of the Missls-
sippi the crop has made good progress, the
reports from the Pacific Coast being
especially favorable.
Some light damage to spring Wheat by
heavy frost and high wind is reported
from North Dakota and the latc-sown in
Wisconsin needs rain, but generally
throughout the spring Wheat region the
crop is doing we'll
The previously reported favorable out
look for Oats continues unimpaired.
Tobacco plants continue plentiful and
are large enough for transplanting i'll Eir-
ginia and Tennessee. The bulk of the
crop has been planted in South Carolina.
Most of the reports respecting Fruits
continue encouraging, although portions
of the Lake Region, Ohio Valley and
Northern New England experienced very
trying temperature conditions.

Wire Nails.

Careful experiments made at Cornell
University are said to show that: First,
cut nails are superior to wire nails in all
positions; second, the main advantage of
the wire nail is due to its possessing a
sharp point; third, if cut nails were pointed
they would be 80 per cent. more efficient
in direct tension; fourth, wire nails with
out points have but one-half their ordinary
holding power; fifth, the surface of the
nail should be slightly rough, but not
barbed-barbing decreases the efficiency
of cut nails about 80 per cent" The
pointed end enables the nail to enter wood
without breaking its fiber excessively,
thus preserving its grip. A serious defect
of wire nails is their readiness to rust.
They are made generally of a sort of soft
steel, and steel rusts more readily than
some other forms Of iron In some parts
of the country, it is said shingles put on
with wire nails drop off after six or eight
years.
