HoAR DID NOT SUBSCRIBE.

A few days ago Senator George Frisbie
Hoar was going to Worcester on train
which had among other passengers on
board, Rev. James Boyd Brady. DR..
Brady is trying hard to raise the debt of
Grace church, of which he is the pastor,
and according to the story told by one
of his friends, he went over to where
Senator Hoar was sitting and engaged
in conversation on the subject of debt
raising for churches. He explained to
the senator that he had plan to raise
the debt of Grace church by means or
shares which sell for S. each, and he
would like to have the senator take one
share.
Senator Hoar replied that he is poor
man and has little money to give to
churches, and what money he does give
goes to his own church. the Church OF
the Unity Therefore, he did not think
he could afford to take a share OF the
debt of Grace church.
But the senator had an afterthougnt.
He told Dr. Brady that he would re-
cite the first two lines of hymn, and IL
the doctor would recite the succeeding
two lines the senator would give 50 Tor
the church. And the senator from Mas
sachusettS recited:
Let men of high conceit and zeal
ETC., and waited for DR.. Brady to supply
the rest of the quatrain. The senator
saved his S., for 1t was not familiar
hymn.
DIR. Brady says the joke is on him

WORKING OUT RESULTS.

The SUNRISE the seeming Indignation OF
the people. particularly those of Southern
MARYLAND. At the returns of the Census De.
partment. became 40 manifest that Gov.
smith did not hesitate to saw that was the
rock .bottom cause for his calling of an ex.
ira session of the Legislature.
In his message 10 the Legislature at the
openine of the special session, the Governor
urged the immediate taking of q census by
and at the expense of the State. In its wis
dom the Legislature was not slow in appre
ciating the wrong done and the absolute ne
cessity Of the adoption of such measures as
To meet the urgent recommendation of the
Governor. The bill for the taking OF the
census throughout the State was hardly
under way when the press announced the
fact that one Abel, at that date police
officer OF the District Of Columbia, but a
resident of LeonardtOwn, St. Mary's county,
had been arrested for making fraudulentre-
turns of the census of 81. Marys county
90 far, 90 good.
What nexti The Legislature had hardly
complied with the recommendations OF the
Governor, certainly before the bill had re-
ceived his signature, comes the startling
news that one Joseph II. Ching, member
Of the LeOnardtown Bar, and also one OF
the Republican State Central Committee for
St. Marys county, with others, had been
arrested for aiding and abetung IN making
false and fraudulent returns 10 the recent
census, taken TO Baltimore and held under
bail for their appearance before the District
Court OF the United States.

SuIt of OttiIie De Yeager Against the
d., Il. L. * y. w. Again
Started.

Attorney w. r. Moore today filed
declarations in two damage suits of
s. 900 each. One is that of Ottilie
De Yeager as administrators of the
estate of Angclus De Yeager. her
husband. against the D., Il. |. &, y. w.
road. This ease was tried during the
last term of court and Vas dismissed
upon motion of Mr.. Moore just as
Judge Ramsey was about to instruct
the jury to find for the defense. De
Yeager was killed Feb. 2 last by a
work train which backed down upon
him while he was crossing the track
of the company in Moline. The claim
is set up that the train was running
at an illegal rate of speed and was
not observing the city ordinances in
regard to ringing the bell.
The other case is n suit on the part
of Alice Wyman. of Moline. against
the Tri-City Railway company, and
injury is claimed on account of an
accident which happened in Moline
last September. According to the
declaration the car was started be-
fore the plaintiff could alight and she
was thrown and injured.
Court convened this morning, but
was Immediately adjourned till this
afternoon when the bar assembled to
fix up a trial list for next term.
Tomorrow is the last day on which
suits may be filed to come up at the

proprietor of the building on the east
erected at the same time as the play
house by arrangement with Mr.. john
stcn. As known, negotiations have
been in progress for several months
with Chamberlain & Kindt for the
sale of the theatre to them. If this
deal is carried through the Illinois
will become part of the splendid cir
cult of cities controlled by that firm.
in any other event Mr.. Johnston will
manage the house himself and, re-
CARELESS of any circumstances, he
stands pledged to the committee as
responsible for the character of the

Princess Chic" is Next.
Marguerite Sylvia, who is to appear
here as the prima donna in Kirlle La
Shelle's and Julian EdwardeS' pretty
opera, THE Princess Chic"
at the Illinois Saturday afternoon
and evening, is Belgian by birth.
Her native home is Brussels. Brus-
sells has been styled n pocket edition
of Paris, and this may account for
the dash and spirit that characterize
Miss Sylva's work and that give her
that large share of magnetism nee
esSary for enc who would be success
full as star. She spent some years
of study in Paris and this doubtless
added to the natice chic and jaunty
grace of her manner. Those who
have seen her assert that no other
woman in America has such strong
claims fer the title of The
Princess Chic" as Miss Sylvia. She
has n dainty suggestion of n foreign
accent that adds realism and charm
to her sprightly and mettlcsome in
of the title role in this
pretty opera comique.
