Claims For Fifty rlillions.

Fifty million dollars in claims
were filed with the Spanish Treaty
War Claims Commission when the
time limit expired last Tuesday
Among those filed was a claim fol
$4,000, by A. B. Kay whose son
John A. Kay was one of the vic
TINS of the Maine.
Before any claim can be adjudi.
Gated two points must be settled.
Nearly every person who had rel
alive killed when the Maine was
blown up has filed claim for
damages. 1t is the contention OF
the counsel for the Commission that
these claims do not properly come
under the provisions of the act con,
shutting the Commission, but are
purely national questions, to be
dealt with in the same way as
pensions are handled.
The other point is whether claims
can be filed for damages sustained
in the Philippines. The under,
standing has been that the Com.
mission was formed to adjudicate
claims of Americans who lost prop
erty in the war in Cuba.

Republican Convention.

The Cecil Republicans held their
primaries in the several districts OF
the county on Friday afternoon
last, and their county convention
in Elkton on Saturday morning
The only business before the meet
ing was the election of four dele
gates to the judicial convention.
The judicial convention met in
the Elkton Opera House on Mon.
day. 1t was called to order by w.
J. Smith, of the State Central Com.
mittee, and John E. Wilson made
chairman and j. W. Harper secre-
tary. Resolutions were adopted on
the deaths of President Mckinley
and Judge Stump.
In Difference to the wishes of the
delegates from the lower counties
of the Circuit the convention ad.
journed without placing nomina
ton in the field to oppose Col. Ed.
win HI. Brown, the Democratic nom
inee. There was a strong sentiment
among the Cecil fountains in favor
of a party nomination, the choice
being l.. Marshall Haines or Geo
A. Bake. of the Cecil bar, but the
delegates from the down-short
counties, especially Kent, opposed
it, claiming the move would injurt
the chances of their local ticket.

Shoes

Early arrivals of shoes give
promise of the greatest line we've
ever offered. Shoes at Worth
ington's are leading articles.
Every one wants the best shoe for
the money and that's why our
shoe business is constantly in
creas;ng. Honest goods, and only
honest, are the kind we aim to
buy and we seldom make mis-
takes, for we think we know how
to buy shoes. We say to a.
maker: Make this shoe as we
want it. Put little better leath-
er in the sole or upper CT wher-
ever the shoe needs it and we'll
buy some; otherwise we refuse to
have them. But then again.there
are certain lines which are as good
as it is possible to make them.
Among there are the QUEEN

Three attempts at suicide were
made early Sunday morning by
Harvey Ward, aged 80 years, a
young farmer residing in the
Fourth district of Cecil county, but
in each case he was rescued by the
timely arrival of a physician. 1t
is alleged that Ward had been re-
jected by the daughter of William
Moody, a farmer in the same neigh
borhood. This SO preyed upon
Wards mind that he procured a
bottle of laudanum and drank the
contents.
