The Baltimore Ne7O5 is the authority
for the statement that Col Luther H.
Cadd, spoken Of as the Democratic candi-
date tor Mayor Of Annapolis. does not
I'LL the requirements as he was not born
here. and is therefore a carpet Dagger, >
II was our opinion that this feeling had
long since died out That it once did
exist we can assert with truth and candor.
Some years ago after the editor of this
paper had been resident here for fsOenLy
rsa,y, he was mentioned as a member
OF the city council. when the hue and
cry was raised that he was "squatter,
carpet bagger." and not "oi the
manor born. And all this after resi-
dence of fzOeaD years.
II is said one must live in Annapolis
sixteen years before he can have a first
class funeral, should he. shuttle off this
mortal coil The fault is not in Col.
Gadd. but in the political system of
selecting the candidate for municipal
Office. No better man could be found to
fill the Office Of Mayor OF Annapolis than
Col Gadd. He is a man OF honor and
int grity of high moral character and
ca scutive ability and has filled response
bic positions OF honor and trust in his
own county and in the State. He
invested in real estate here, and is
recognized as one OF our substantial citi-

The UnIuoky opal.

The opal, though one of the most beauti-
full Of precious stones, has always been
under ban, as for hundreds Of years it has
had the reputation of bringing bad luck to its
possessor This superstition is said to
have had its origin in Italy where the opal
was extremely popular two or three hum
dreds of years ago. A plague started in
Venice and it was noticed that in the cases
Of those who wore the opal that died of the
plague, just before death the stone shoue
with an unnatural brilliancy, and that after
the victims death il became dull aud
lustreless This, it is now explained, was
because the opal is very susceptible to
warmth and the heat of the patients fever
caused the extra lustre of the stone, which
passed away with the death of the owner
as the body became cold Whether this is
the explanation or not, it remains a fact
that the opal has always been considered one
Of the most unlucky of stones. In connec.
ton with this superstition a story is told of
a gentleman who took an opal he owned to
a jeweler, with instructions that it be sold
Ever since he had owned the stone he
claimed that bad luck had followed him in
all his ventures It was found upon exami-
nation that the opal was an imitation stone
a fact which must have somewhat dis
turbed the theories Of its owner in regard to
its sinister properties

First Use of the Hot Rlnst.

James NJ Swank, in government report
on iron and steel, says The hrsS practical
application of the hot blast to the manu-
facture of pig iron in this country was made
at the Oxford furnace in New Jersey. in
1884 by William Henry the manager The
waste heat at the tymp passed over the sur
face of nest of small cast iron pipes
through which the blast was conveyed to
the furnace. The temperature was raised
to $50 degrees Fahrenheit and the product
of the furnace was increased about TO per
cent. In 1885 hot-blast oven, containing
cast iron arched pipes, was placed on the
top of the stack by Mr. Henry and heated
by the flame from the tunnel head By this
means the temperature of the blast was
raised to 500 degrees, The fuel used was
charcoal
