predicts that the new Maryland
ballot law will cause the whole:
question Of representation in
Congress on the basis of men
who are not legal voters under
stete laws, to come before Con-
gccss. He says the Congression-

The Congressional Library
has recently acquired sixteen
old manuscript books, which
contain historical data, 70 be
found nowhere else, and which
are consequently regarded as
priceless. They relate to the
public and private life of Rob-
ert Morris, the hnancier of the
American Revolution, and were
all written by him. These
volumes contain records of the
y. S. Treasury Department for
the first three years of it's exist
ence, which are not included in
the government archives. The
books were accidently found in
a junk shop. by the late Gen. |
John Meredith Read, and during
his lifetime, be would never
part with them.
DR.. George ID. Leetch, former
ly d medical examiner in the
Pension Bureau, who has just re-
turned from South Africa, where
he served a year as Surgeon in
the British Army, said of exist
ing conditions over there THE
'ar IN South Africa is by no
means ended, and it is liable to !
continue tor a long time yet.
Of course it is guerrilla, rather
than actual warfare, but it is for
this reason that the Beers will |
be able to keep up the struggle
and at least greatly harass the
British, probably for some years.
In Pretoria, business is at a
standstill, save that which is
conducted by reason of the pre-
sence of the military forces. The
RAILROADS are almost completely
utilized ID carrying stores and
provision for the army, and the
large force of 3oer prisoners to
whom they are issuing rations. |!
Practically, all the Boer men are
either prisoners of war or are
under arms, congregated in
small bands IN the hills and !
mountains. There are probably |
10000 Boer prisoners in the
hands Of the British.'

Rev. Mr.. Whites First Wedding

"Rev. Mr.. White, pastor of the
Govanstown Baptist church
tells of the first marriage cere~
monY he performed. 1t was in
Lam bert's Point, near Norfolk
Va, and everything was new ex-
cept the couple, which com pris-
ed a widow and widower. The
church was new and the we'd
ding was the first to take place
in it. The young pastor n tur~
ally thought, as both parties
had been through the ceremony
before. that his. would be an easy
task. They were a little behind
time, and presently a small boy
ran up the aisle and in a whis-
per .old the pastor that the
groom would like TO see him
outside. The pastor Started in
double-quick step down the left
aisle. Before be reached the
door he discovered that the wed>
ding procession was moving up
the right aisle. The procession
had a good start, and in order TO
reach the chancel first Mr..
White had to run. He won the
race by a nose. as the sporting
editor would say, but when he
faced the couple he was in an
extremely nervous condition
and could scarcely read the mar
rage ceremony. Why he was
called on the outside to inter-
view the groom Rev: Mr.. White
never asked. 1t may have been
a trick of a bad boy"
