MARYLAND STATE CENSUS FIGURES.
Courts Will be Asked to Compel Democrat
Officials to Surrender Books.

The Republican campaign managers
will not be foiled in their efforts to Sc
cure the information which the State
census can only furnish. After giving
the Democrats reasonable time in
which to comply with their request and
there is no compliance, resort will be
to the courts, and efforts will there be
put forth to compel the Democratic Of
fcials, whoever they are, to surrender
access to records, which are, thev
claim, public property and for which
the taxpayers paid.
The death of Judge Stump leaves a
vacancy on the bench in the Second
Judicial circuit, which will be filled at
the coming election. The circuit takes
IN the counties of Cecil, Kent, Queen
Anne, Caroline and Talbot. Kent and
Talbot are already represented on the
bench, therefore a selection must
necessarily be made from one of the
others. The impression is that Mr..
John S. Writ will be backed by the
State organization.
In Baltimore county both parties
have named strong tickets. on which
the candidates are as far as known,
unexceptionable and we'll qualified to
discharge the duties of the offices to
which they aspire, and most of them
will draw some few personal votes
from both parties.

The Levy Court has begun the cree

James, for the building of handsome
new steel and stone bridge, over Silver
Lake, near Dover, and the tearing
away of the old, time-worn structure
which has become serious danger to
night travellers. The contract calls for

Work on Bombay Hook ROlds.

The building and repairing of
bridges and the work on Bombay
Hook road are necessary and received
the sanction of both Republicans and
Democrats. The call reminds us that
we say nothing of the So, 300 spent
upon the Bombay Hook road. We
can say nothing, as that sum has not
been spent. The actual amount thus
spent is $64S.9S, and this amount has
not been wasted yet, as the CAL
claims, since the work will be resumed
and this amount will not have to be
spent over"

RECORDS OF LEVY COURT
SHOW STATE OF FINANCES
DUCK CREEK HUNDRED LARGELY CON.
CERNED IN THE CONTROVERSY.
The Dover Estate Sentinel Replies to the
Smyrna "call" on the Expenditures of
the Kent County Levy Court.

We give place to the controversy be-
tween the CAL and Sentinel because
they originated in, and apply largely to
Duck Creek Hundred. The former
asserted that the Democrats had left
Sll 900 in the hands OF the County
treasurer. The Sentinel examines the
record of the Levy Court and finds the
following entry:
February 8, 1S99.-We the under
signed committee appointed by the
Levy Court of Kent Comfy to examine
and settle the accounts of J. M.
Arthurs, late treasurer of Kent County.
md his accounts correct and balance
IN hand due the county to the amount
of seven thousand elghtv-nine dollars
and thirty-eight cents ($7, ,O89. .38).
ii. E. MABREY,
w. l.. JONES,
ASA G. ROGERS,
Committee.
Two of the names above are Demo
Gratis. The Sentinel further explains
as follows:
'In speaking of the expensive term
of court, it is we'll to remind the can
IN particular, and the taxpayers in
general, of what occasioned this ex-
pensive term of court. In fact. there
were two such terms. Robert G.. White
was, at the time of these two terms of
court, the Attorney General of the
State. With the hope of obtaining
vainglOry by the outrageous persecu-
tion of Mr.. Mark L. Davis and DR.. T.
q. Moore, they were put on trial for
election bribery and seemingly, the
whole county was summoned to testify.
In spite of this, these gentleman
proved their innoncence and the county
was left to pay the costs. This was
the legacy left us by the retiring Dem
ocratic Attorney-General. The aver
age cost of court is, we are told
about 1900; but in these cases it
amounted to about twice that amount
in each case.
Smyrna times., 1901-09-25
Three County Certificates Paid.

The present County Treasurer has
also paid off three county certificates,
the principal and interest of which
amounted to Sc, 135. 46, thus reducing
the county debt, incurred by the Dem
ocrats, that amount.
By resolution of the Democratic
Levy Court, the present treasurer is
authorized to pay the Treasurer of the
Poor $1,000 annually for two years. as
the amount heretofore received was in
adequate for the expenses of the Aims
house. The amount formerly was
about $4,000, and was based upon a
percentage of taxes. All this has been
done without touching one cent of the
50, 600 the treasurer was authorized to
borrow, and with $11 ZOO still due by
the Democratic tax collectors.
These are facts and figures. and is a
brief accounting of the stewardship of
the county's finances at the hands of
the Republicans in the short space of
six months. Does it not then follow
that the county's treasury has suffered
by the delinquent Democratic tax col
lectors, and that if the 11,OOO due
from them was paid it would have
been unnecessary to borrow S., 900 to
pay the current expenses of the
county.

Better Than "Christian Science"

Jetmore, Kans., July 1st.-Mrs. Anna
Jones Freeman, daughter of Mr.. G.. G..
Jones Of Burdett, and one OF the most
popular ladies In HodgemaH County has
been a martyr to headache for years. 1t
has made her life a continual misery to
her. She suffered pains in the small Of
the back, and had every symptom Of
Kidney and Urinary Trouble.
To-day she is well as any lady In the
state.
This remarkable change was due en-
tirely to a remedy recently introduced
here. 1t Is called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and many people claim it to be an in
fallible cure for Kidney Diseases,
rheumatism and Heart Trouble.
Mrs. Freeman heard Of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and almost with the first
dose, she grew better. In q week, her
head aches and other pains had gone,
and she had left behind her all her IL
ness and days Of misery.
A medicine that can do for any one
what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for this lady Is very soon to be univer-
sally used, and already the demand for
these pills has increased wonderfully
In Pawnee and Hodgeman Counties,
where the particulars of Mrs. Free
mans case and its cure are known.

How to Judge Tobacco.

Harper's Weekly: Color, burn and
texture are the three things which the
grower has chiefly to consider. At
present the trade calls for a very light
cinnamon-brown shade, which must
be uniform, not mottled. The leaf
when rolled on a cigar and smoked
must leave a white or light gray hard
ash, which does not flake off and fall
Into ones bosom or over his waistcoat,
and 1t must not ''coal'-i. e., have a
black charred ring just behind the ash
on the burning cigar. This Is sure to
give a bad flavor and taste. The leaf
must also burn freely, and when light
ed hold firm for a reasonable time. 1t
must have a soft. silvery texture,
glossy surface. and the elasticity Of q
piece Of kid, SO that it may be drawn
smoothly and closely about the cigar.
Flavor Is not wanted In Connecticut
tobacco. for If there be much of it, it
is sure to be bad. Perfect burn, color
and texture can be gotten in the north
err climate, but q delicate and agree.
able flavor has not yet been obtained.
Flavor is conditioned largely by cli-
mate, the other qualities by soil and
fertilizers. 1t is desirable, therefore,
that the leaf be neutral, without taste,
as far as may be. We get the flavor
wholly In the Cuban filler. To obtain
these qualities Of leaf is the problem
OF the grower-a much more compli-
Gated II than meets the ordinary
farmer.

THE DEADLY DOTTED VEIL.
Ii Is the Cause OF buying Speotacles More
Than Anything Else.


Than Anything Else.
New Orleans Times-D The
optician has n peculiar interest In the
veil business" remarked a gentleman
in one OF the big jewelry stores In Ca
nal street, "and we watch the fash
ions In this respect with as much con-
Germ as the m We simply delight
In a business way in anything out Of
the ordinary in the veil line, for we
can, in a measure, Judge the extent OF

that the human eye a been coming
in for some rather severe tests In these
latter days. and It has become neces-
sary to appeal to what may be called
artificial methods Of seeing things. BY
the way. | want to correct a popular
impression that reading Injuries the
eyes more than anything else. The
fact OF the matter Is that the discreet
reader who manifests q general con-
Germ in literary matters-the book
worm, l may say-has much better
eyes than the giddy, rollicking fellow
who spends his life in chasing the fas-

Certainly 1t is a more dis~criminative
vision, and in my judgment 1t is a
stronger sight. The reason is apparent
upon a moments reflection. The time
of the fashionable man and the fash
ionable is spent In gazing upon
things that are, from my view point,
extremely injurious. Take the colors
that come and go with the changes In
fashion. They are generally loud, and

tainly injurious to the eye. The dream
in pink, or red, or blue is all right, but
constant gazing at the same will cause
all other objects to take on the same
color to a certain degree. The retina
cannot rid itself OF the color impress
sion before other pictures crowd in,
and they may be pictures differently
colored; and the eye nerves are
strained unconsciously In making the
proper color discrimination. The lines
become blurred finally, and that is
where we come in. But / was speak
ing OF the veil more particularly. The
dotted veil is the thing from the view
point OF the optician, The dotted vet
has sold more spectacles and eye
glasses In recent years than any other
influence which conspires against the
human eye. Several years ago a lady
came In to have a pair of glasses fitted
TO her eyes. Inere Is q little BLACK

Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post:
American social leaders are more in

they ever were In any crowned head
outside Of the English rulers. Prob
ably IT Is because the kaiser Is fond of
Americans, n shows as keen a desire
as his uncle, the king Of England, to
meet charming Americans and ak to
them. In Berlin and Hamburg he has
met many of the rich social set OF
America, and they are loud In their
praise OF the emperor.
He is described as having the most
fascinating personality in Europe to-
day. 1t Is said of him that ne has the
great quality which made the wife OF
President Cleveland one OF the most
notable women who ever presided at
the white house-that Is, the gift of
making a visitor or auditor think that
he is the one person In the world whom
the great one desires to meet.

She did not dare turn her face from
the emperor to help herself TO the
salad. The situation was too much for

London Daily Mail: The agricultural
returns for 1900. just issued, SHOW that
the decline of British agriculture still
pursues it's painful course. The area
under corn crops in Great Britain,
which a generation ago, in 1870, was
9,548. 900 acres, has fallen TO 1886, 900
acres; that is to say, 1t is less by one
quarter than 1t was then. The area
under green crops has also fallen al
most as heavily, while only the acre
age laid down In grass and clover shows
an increase. In horses, cattle, sheep
and pigs there Is a slight advance in
the period, but no sue as to keep pace
with the increase in population or tc
