EXTRA SESSION PLANS
NOT YET AGREED UPON.

What Member of the Bar Thinks About
the Proposition to Summon the Legis-
lature to Act Against IIliterate Voters.
Sundays Baltimore Herald.
Governor Smith has not yet de-
clared himself upon the subject of an
extra session of the Legislature. His
Excellency was at his Office but little
while yesterday, and nothing new de-
veloped concerning the possibility of
call for the General Assembly to
meet.
Mr.. William @. Smith. "a member of
the bar, expressed his views on the
proposed extra session yesterday, as
follows
mo one can rightfully accuse the
Republican party of being opposed to
the purity of the ballot. Its history
in Maryland is the story of the fight
for a free vote and an honest count.
Hence, when we are opposed to an
extra session Of the Legislature that
opposition is based upon grounds
apart from considerations touching
the ballot itself Our party sees in
this extra session scheme the germs
of great political conspiracy, the
real object of which is to entrench
democracy in power for an indefinite
term of years and to place Maryland
where she was before 1895. For 80
years the democrats absolutely CON
trolled the State, yet all that time
nothing was heard that would indi-
cate an anxiety about the illiterate
vote, and probably because, under
pressure the illiterates voted Jackson
and Liberty straight without asking
embarrassing questions. Indeed,
when efforts were made to improve
the ballot all opposition came from
our now sanctimonious friends, and
it is an instructive commentary upon
them and their sham anxiety lest the
state should be dominated by the ig-
norant classes that the only good
election law ever adopted for this
state was conceived and passed by
that very party which they charge is
entirely in the control of the litter
ates. The brightest pages in Mary
lands political history are those
which record the events of the repub-
lican administration under Governor
Lowndes. Let the highly intelligent,
superanXious ring potentates beat it
if they can.
1.-The democrats were silent from
1867 to 1895 concerning the illiterate
vote; so also were they beautifully
still on this absorbing topic in the
legislative session of 1900, when, with
all the power in their hands, they
could have accomplished anything.
Someone did say something about
Acknowledgement during the session,
but his grafton was cut short by the
powers upon the ground that it was
improper to discuss such a subject.
If improper then, why proper now?
Especially as an extra session means
so much to the taxpayers. The real
reason is not far to seek. The secret
ballot provided for in the republican
law of 1896 pre- vents coersion and
makes the, result of an election de-
lightfully uncertain. Therein it hurts
the ring, who yearn for the good old
days when primaries could be forced
and nominations iammed through,

WHEN the Democratic party of
Maryland has to resort to the enact

no better evidence is required to show
that it's day of usefulness is at an end.
The people have no use for a party

TRUNK BLOWS UP.
Baggage Smashers at Atlantic High lands Treated to a Sensational
 and Dangerous Surprise.

When the steamer Monmouth, of the Sandy Hook line, discharged it's load of shore resort passengers with their great piles of trunks on the long pier at Atlantic Highlands lit tie after Il o'clock the other morn ing one of the trunks, which had just been thrown into the baggage car of a train for Seabright, suddenly ex- ploded with a terrific crash that jared the pier and shook the train for half it's length. Andrew Keener, the baggagemaster of the train, who was handling the trunk, was hurled halfway across the car and badly in jured. He was burned more or less from head to foot, and among other injuries had rife bullet through his leg, which had come from a number of loose cartridges in the trunk.
 Two other baggage handlers, who had helped lift the trunk in and were standing on the pier with their heads little above the level of the bag gage car door, were also badly singed by the great sheet of flame which shot out of the car door.
 The hair of one of these men was burned completely off below the line where his cap fitted about his head. The hair and whiskers of the other were also singed.

 figuring on the errors of kissing in public by working out fine of s and costs at the bridewell. The woman is at the same institution. The fact that she consented to be kissed in public and by stranger was considered greatly against her and the fine in the case was fixed at $10 and costs. Now she is wondering why it is more se- rious for a woman to kiss a man than for man to kiss woman. The police are divided on the question.
 Officer Kelleher travels night beat along Halsted street. He sees and hears many things and he has grown accustomed to peculiar sights and scenes at night on that thoroughfare. But the public kissing was too much even for him.
 Sweeney is laborer and 63 years old. He says he is not adverse to kissing members of the fair sex when they do not object. Miss Amind is 3S years old and she does not deny that she ap- preciates good kiss and she is not ashamed to kiss in public. However, she will not admit that she was kissed by Sweeney. Neither will she deny it.
 Lieut.. O'Connor asked Officer Kelle- her if he was opposed to kissing.
 ''Oi am," declared the officer. "Oi niver wor kissed excipt by me mother and sistor''

ROMEO USED TO THE CITY.
Full Grown Sheep Which Follows New York Man Around Crowded
 Streets Like Pet Dog.

A young man with a sheep that fol- lowed him like' pet dog attracted attention on Broadway, near Forty second street, New York city, the oth- CT afternoon. The sheep, which was full grown, wore a collar, and, al- though undismayed by the crowds, seemed to take considerable interest in his surroundings. The young man and his novel pet walked down to Thirty-fourth street and turned across toward Eighth avenue. The sheep was evidently used to the bus tie and confusion, and deftly picked its way through the mass of cable cars, carriages and other vehicles with as much unconcern as dog would have done. The young man said:
 "I am much attached to Romeo, who is faithful and accompanies me wherever I go. I raised him myself, and I would not part with him for anything. live in flat up town, and the neighbors are used to Romeo and think almost as much of him as I do.''

IN A sort of yelled way Johnson was
 the butt of the By Force of Arms company. Why Crandall had taken him on was a question concerning which that reticent person offered no information, but it was generally con eeded-with a possible exception that as the new member showed very little talent as an actor, the nearly ended season and the minor part to be filled accounted for it.
 The leading man treated him with lofty condescension; the soubrette poked open fun at his staid ways and Gabored efforts in acquiring the tbusi- ness" of his part, and Ransom, the comedian, remarked facetiously one afternoon after Johnson had failed twice to respond to cues: That fel- low ought to be with Joe Jefferson as understudy; he could do the 20 years sleep in Rip out of sight" Miss Mar -velle, the leading lady, alone failed to remark on any of Johnson's shortcom-

ings-possibly because she was kind-hearted girl and hated to hurt anyone's feelings.
 If Johnson resented the ridicule and covert sarcasm of which he was the object he made no sign, but went blind 1y on, not doing the things he should have done, and doing with effusion those which he ought not to have done; standing on his dignity when common sense should have taught, him to unbend, and, because of his lack of insight into the true inward ness of things theatrical, becoming familiar when it would have been to his advantage to have remained dig nified
 To further complicate his relations with his fellow players, Johnson had fallen head over heels in love with Helen Marvelle and showed it, regard ing her with dog-liIe devotion in his eyes that proclaimed his secret, which redoubled the witticisms at his ex- pense-

REDUCED TO LIQUID.
Hydrogen Liquefied by an English
 Professor.
Conducts Interesting Experiments Before His Classes in London Hydrogen Appears Like
 Snow in Test Tube.

It is sufficiently wonderful to say that Prof. James Dewar carried ill a jar through the streets of London to his lecture-room nearly two quarts of liquid hydrogen, which until the other day was the most intangible form of matter known to man. On arriving before his audience this wiz ard of science, who deals with tenn peratures compared with which the arctic cold is seething furnace. proved maryels never witnessed out side of his own laboratory.
 He reduced hydrogen to solid which appeared like snow in the test tube, and announced that a temper ature had been produced eight or ten degrees lower, or within nine degrees of absolute zero. There is but one substance now known which has as yet not been reduced to liquid; that is the new gas, helium. This most volatile form of matter has boiling point four or five degrees above abso- lute zero. The hope of being able to liquefy helium depends on subjecting it to the same process as has succeed ed with hydrogen, only instead ot using liquid air under exhaustion, as the primary cooling agent, liquid hydrogen under exhaustion must be employed, and the resulting liquid collected in vacuum vessels surround ed with liquid hydrogen.
 Tn this way, by the use of liquid or solid hydrogen as a cooling agent, it ought to be possible to liquefy a body having a critical point of about six to eight of absolute zero and a boiling point of four or five degrees. Then if liquid helium could be pro- duced, this substance would not en- able the zero of temperature to be reached. Another gas must be found as much more volatile than helium as helium was more than hy- drogen in order to reach within one degree of zero. If the helium group comprises substance having an atomic weight of two or one-half that of helium, such a gas would bring nearer the desired goal. Meantime the production of liquid helium is a difficult and expensive enough prob lem to occupy the scientific world for many day.

FIND KISSING COSTLY.
Chicago Man and Woman Working Out Fines for Show of Affection
 on n Busy Street.

In relating a street comedy the Chi cago Chronicle starts in with the as- sert:on that Thomas Sweeney says he did not kiss Amelia Amind. If he did, he says, he was not looking and he cannot remember having first em- braced the woman and then hugging her on a public street.
 Policeman Kelleher, however, says he was witness to the kissing episode. It shocked the bluecoat to such an ex- tent that he arrested both, on charges of disorderly conduct. Sweeney is now
