THE CITY of Annapolis on Monday last en-
joyed the novelty of women voting. The
question at issue was whether or not the city
should bond itself in the sum of sl2l, 900 to
provide for the improvement of the streets,
etc., and women who are taxpayers were given
the privilege to vote. Less than dozen went
to the polls and most of these voted against
the loan, which does not speak very well for
their business foresight. The proposition car

A SKILLED mechanic named Lewis White
house, whose family lives at Easton, Nd, went
to the Alaskan gold fields two years ago. In q
letter to his home, dated January 26th, he says !:
1T costs fortune to thaw the frozen ground
for mining. Wood is $50 cord and coal 500
a ton. A rabbit is worth 50, beefsteak s2.oO
pound, fresh vegetables from 81 to sl2 crate
holding about bushel. There is no game
except ptarmigan and a few rabbits; 420 below
zero is the lowest thus far this winter, and the
weather has been very pretty all the time.
AT our shortest day we had about q hours OF
sunshine, and it was very bright on that day
and nearly every day since. l have not found
the climate of Alaska anything like as bad as
expected, but if get back home alive think
shall be satisfied to stay there"

The LATEST Dsnse to be mentioned for the
Vice-Presidency is that of Postmaster-G General
Charles Emory Smith. He is said to have the
quiet but sympathetic, support of the Presi-
dent. In every regard Mr.. Smith would be an
admirable candidate, and if the sad changes of
time should place him in the White House his
large knowledge of men and public affairs
would make him an Executive without fear
and without reproach, meriting the confidence
OF the whole people. Whoever may be the
Vice-President, it is pleasing to know that big
men only have been thought of up to date
such as Long, Roosevelt, Root, Bliss, Gregg
and Smith.

Two pennsylvania Bx-senators.


Ex-senator Quay has come to his home IN
Lancaster county for the summer. As pri-
vate life, we welcome him to our rich boun-
diaries and trust the quiet of farmers life
and the leisure il will afford him for medita-
ton will induce him to give up politics and de-
vote himself to pursuits perhaps as congeniail,
though less exciting. Ex-senator Cameron is
leading the life OF contented philosopher at
Donegal He has many warm friends In tbs
county. So has ex-senator Quay. Both are
about the same age and have had equal honors,
and so il would be pleasing coincidence. to
see them living only nine miles apart playing
the role of the country gentleman, with the
personal regard of the community at large and
taking such part in affairs political as every
good citizen should. If both or either be called
upon again to figure on the public stage they
will miss nothing from pleasing rest on
Lancaster county farm, and no doubt be wiser

roads have gradually increased the
amount of cotton coming to this city
by wagons The turnpike lately ex-
tended to Colierville, Tenn, has caused
the merchants and owners of cotton in
that town and between here and there
to bring almost their entire holdings to
this market on wagons, while before
that time the bulk of the crop found it's
way to market on the railroads passing
those points. The same is true of Holly
Springs and the fernando district, and
other instances could also be given, but
these will suffice.
| The turnpikes have made it possible
for the holders of cotton to fight the
railroads ON their rates by acting en-
| tirely independent of them in bringing
| their cotton in on their wagons. The
| latter is much the slower way, but there
| is generally some sacrifice necessary to
bring about reforms of any kind, and
the farmers and planters along the
turnpike roads do not mind making the
| fight whenever they find it necessary.
The turnpikes and the railroads have
both come to stay, and, since the latter
are being gradually extended and are
continually tapping new territory, the
percentage of cotton brought in over
the turnpikes, as compared with that
transported by the former, is steadily
increasing. The higher prices of cotton
promised the farmers this year may
make them willing to pay the freights,
but with the low prices, judging from
the experience of the last two years,
there will be a marked increase in the
amount of cotton finding it's way to
this market on wagons.-Memphis

THE GOUNOD SOCIETY.
Soloists for Handel's Messiah Were
Announced Last Night.

Soloists for Handles Messiah Were
Announced Last Night
After the ntermission in the Gounod
rehearsal last evening Secretary Will
liam r.. Hoppin made the formal an
nouncement of the soloists engaged for
the performance of HandePs Messiah
Tuesday evening, December Is. They
are as follows: Nine. Charlotte Macon
da, soprano of New York; Mrs Morris
Black, contralto of New York; George
j. Hamlin, tenor of Chicago, and
Julian Walker, basso of New York.
| Mr.. Agramonte, in his inimitable way,
gave the members of the chorus a little
sketch of each of the soloists named
by Mr.. Hopper. OF Nine. Maconda he
spoke in very high terms and said her
success in oratorio had been very great
in the Maine festival and elsewhere,
which certainly guaranteed a good
handling of the soprano solos on the
eighteenth. OF Mrs. Black he said some
very kind things, and stated that she
had been selected by Frank Damrosch
to sing two different performances of
the Messiah" in New York city, hay
ing chosen her out OF a list of twelve
applicants. Her voice, Mr. Agramonte
said, while not of great size was a
beautiful one and that she sang Handel
like an artist.
Mr.. Hamilton was characterized by
Mr.. Agramonte as 'manly tenor"
who was a real student of his art and
who sung Handlers music as we'll as
any tenor in America to-day He con-
sidered the choice one of the best posi-
BILE, Mr.. Agramonte spoke of Mr.. Walk
er as "a second Heinrich" because he
was a thorough all round and well
equipped musician with a wide roper
toire.
The announcements We're appiauded
by the chorus and all seemed satisfied
with the selections made. Mr.. Hoppen
also stated that the Boston Symphony
orchestra, one of the best, if indeed not
the best in the country, had been en-
gagged to play the accompaniments of
the oratorio. The New Haven Sympho-
ny orchestra had been invited to do the
work, but owing to many rehearsals
necessary in the preparation of their
own regular concerts they Were Obliged
to decline the invitation.
There was very full attendance of
the chorus at the rehearsal last night,
and most of the difficult numbers were
sung. The few rough spots still re-
naming are being rapidly worked out
and it is expected that with the two re-
rehearsals, which will be very
careful and thorough, the entire work
VIII be brought to point of perfection
never before equalled The feat of
singing in perfect tune and pitch, the
tremendously difficult Amen chorus I'M
accompanied at the rehearsal two
weeks ago, is one not often heard from |
any society and is a pointer to the |
kind of performance which may be ex-
pected Familiarity with the notes of
the score, of course, give the singers
more opportunity to follow exactly Mr..
Agramonte's desires in producing eff
fects, by Introducing niceties of light
and shade

| experience" the lawyer went on, MIR.
Andrews, the claim agent of the line,
| happened to be in town and dropped in
| to inquire about the case. He was a
veteran in the business, but he always
| impressed me as being a man totally
destitute of tact, and I never could I'M
derstand how he held his job He
chuckled when he heard my story.
My dear boy he said, you simply
overplayed yourself. You expected that
old man to drop dead at the sight of a
thousand dollar bill. Why, bless your
soul! he didn't know what it meant!
1t was beyond the outposts of his I'M
agination. He was like you, yourself,
when you heard an astronomer talk
about ten billion miles The figure con-
veys no idea to your mind. 1t is too
big. But come with me- he added,
and I'll give you an object lesson I
was surprised and piqued, but l went
along, and the first thing Andrews did
was to get one thousand one-dollar bills
at the bank. He cut the slips that held
them together, stacked them up in q
loose heap and wrapped them in a
newspaper Then he went to the
boarding house and found the old man
sitting in his little back room, still
smoking his pipe. He didn't seem to
have moved since + was there before
Well, Connally' said the claim agent,
after few general remarks, I've
brought around that thousand dollars,
and want you to sign receipt in full
The old man got angry Immediately.
I'll not do it, he yelled; TIL take what
sued for and not cent less!' You're
foolish said Andrews, calmly; no
jury will give you over a thousand,
and your lawyers will get half of that.
You'd better do business with me-. He
had been holding the package of bills
on his knee while he was talking, and
just then he made an awkward gesture
and knocked it off. He grabbed at 1t
wildly as it fell, and with one swoop
scattered the money all over the squalid
little room. 1t covered everything
floor, chairs table, bed and some Of 1t
even went into he wash-bowl. Dog
gone the luck,' he shouted. Here, Con-
nally! lend a hand, will you, and help !
me gather up this stuff The old man
made no reply, but sat speeches. and
while his pipe slowly slid |
out of his mouth and fell into his lap.
Meanwhile Andrews seized broom and
began sweeping up the bills, like dry |
leaves. Saints preserve us!' whispered I
at last, still glazing stupidity |
at the litter how much is there"
The thousand you don't want snapped
lhe claim agent, and kept on sweeping.
In ten minutes he had collected the
money in big heap on the newspaper.
Well, i guess I'd better be going he
as he bundled it up. Hold
N Bit said the old man, and, before
fully realized what had happened,
Andrews had his autograph on the re-
,eipt. The whole thing had been done
30 rapidly and passed off so much like
some well rehearsed scene at play
hat l was simply dumfounded and
acked language to express my admi-
alton. Andrews was very modest
bout it, though, and insisted there was
nothing remarkable in what he had
lone. When you undertake to spell

must use denominations that he can
