hot sheet put around you, laid on a cot,
and hve blankets, each one four doubled
equivalent to twenty-wrapped around

removed and rubbed with alcohol. and
then another massage for Is minutes
For this you pay one dollar, and tip tn
the attendant. They have all kinds of

A CARD OF THANKS.

We desire to express our sincere thanks
to our 1887 friends who have so kindly
called our attention to the error in our
last issue respecting the decision of the
Court of Appeals in theHavre de Grace
election case. 1t is of course very
flattering to know that our columns
are read so closely, and while we
always endeavor to give all news correct
", yet in this case we do not deserve all
the blame, as we had the information in &C
cordance with the published report, which
we deemed thoroughly reliable, but now
appears after reading the decision that
our informant was wrong. The Court
of Appeals decided that the Mayor was
entitled to cast the tie vote and that MIR.
Hecht was thus legally confirmed; but on
account of an insufficient bond first filed
and the plaintiffs failure to file another
within the prescribed time, Mr.. Hecht
was not legally qualified to fill the place
of treasurer.

second trial He was one of the four
enumerators lately tried for conspiring
with lawyer Ching to make false returns
from St Mary's county. Abel admitted
to the jury that 1914 names were falsely
enumerated upon the list, but con-
tended that he did not send the schedule
with the fictitious names to the Census
Department, but that it was sent by some
one else. This is his defense. The case
is still on trial
