August Sundine, young man who
clerks at the drug store of c. f. Bat
ties. on Fifth avenue. is laying off for
a few days with n blistered face and
singed hair. The wounds were re-
ceived i'll an alteration with the fiue
of furnace which Sundine was try
ing to clean. The fiue had become
clogged with SCOT, and the young
man poured some gasoline down the
chimney upon the SCOT with the eN-
pectation that when the gasoline
went off the SCOT would go with it up
the chimney. AS he was peering into
the furnace to see why the stuff
didn't shoot there was flash and a
peck of SCOT and hot gasoline backed
water into his features. After the
lampblack had been removed from
his countenance he found that sew
eraI bIisters remained. Mr.. Sundine
will probably resume his duties in a
few days, although probably not with
the same enthusiasm for some time
to come.

IN commenting on the old-time Gus
tom in vogue by the Methodist Episco-
pal church of designating old and worn
out ministers as 'superannuated, Geo.
I. Angel, the Boston philanthopist
suggests that it is in very bad taste,
as suggesting that their usefulness in
this world is ended. He says no such
custom prevails in the Roman Catholic
or Episcopal churches or in the legal
or medical professions, in which many
times lawyers and doctors receive their
largest fees in their old age. Mr. An
CELL suggests calling them senior, hon
airy, or most reverend. The sugges-
ton is a good one. The pauper sound

A LONDON dispatch says the official
return just reported shows the South
African concentration camps in August
contained 1860 persons. The deaths
numbered 2,345, of which number 1873
were children. With Punishment of
all Boer leaders and contiscation of
property, by the English government,
it does seem as though the dreadful
plague of war in South Africa should
cease, and that the remaining Boer
leaders would acknowledge a lost
cause. The field of carnage, the lust
for power and the contest for princi pie,
mighty nation choked with the yoke
of war taxes, and free states swallowed
up by the results of war; ought to be
sufficient, and til is high time to ring
down the curtain on this, the worst
war of modern times. In place of ar
bitration it is humiliation.

In conversation with Congressman
Stevens last week, we learned that
Washington county would, in all like
hhood, have regular county system
of Free Rural Delivery post roads in
the near future. ''That county.'' said
Mr.. Stevens, has an excellent list of
roads, and the Free Rural Delivery
system of mail in that county the past
year was the most regular of any post
route,- being more regular in the deliv-
cry of the mails than the railroads
were. I intend to ask for the adoption
of the regular county system in that
county, as conditions there Justify it.
There are only a few such counties
organized under the Free Rural Deliv-
cry system in this country. Good roads
is the most essential thing, and con-
dition that the government insists on.

ASSISTANT Secretary of State Sio-

imbibe all the malt beverages they

oAoeSA nAO"iOoSO VI 0uo pOIdGO MARKET,
and the suggestion to farmers to sell:
all their potatoes to these ssoutsiders''
would look much better in dream
than on paper. Should the farmers:
tomorrow start in to sell all their DO.
tatoes to the s'outlanders' they would:
swamp them in a very few hours, and
the regular buyers would be asked bv
the farmers to ''hold the farmers up'
again. To handle potatoes requires
warehouses, and lots of money, and
help. To begin with the outside buyer
does not have these trade auxiliaries
nor does he need them for he is not
permanent factor on the market and
does not intend to be. He buys to sup
ply specific demand, and it is true
enough his presence on the market has
a tendency toward tirmer prices, but
as we haye said his presence is not
regular condition to the market: and
he is good as long as he lasts. But
few words on this point. Some of these
outside buyers who are shipping to
Iowa points went through the country
only two weeks ago trying to contract
potatoes at go cents a bushel, but the
farmers refused to sell at such prices.
The buyers had every confidence in the
market and would have taken all they
needed at 60 cents for immediate de-
livery. At the same time H. E. Thomas
predicted in the St. Cloud Times so
cent potatoes, and while the Wyanett
correspondent was criticising the pre-
diction, the market actually went be-
low SO cents. One of the Iowa buyers
last Saturday informed US that Colo
RADIO and South Dakota potatoes were
being shipped>into Iowa in large num-
bers, and put on the market at 70 cents,
land if the second crop of Colorado
potatoes is not injured by frost inside
of two weeks look out' says the Iowa
buyer. Down in Iowa Minnesota is
not figured on to any great extent for
potatoes. Lots of people think you are
wilderness up here,' and his remark
only emphasizes the fact that one Sec
tion is entirely ignorant of the actual
productive capacity of another. IN
other words the potato belt of Mime
sofa, great as it is, and as rich as it is,
and the great bonanza it is to the
farmer and the business man, sis not
the only pebble on the beach, There
are other sections that produce pota-
toes and they sometimes come upon
the market like thief in the night.
Let US all remember that business
interests are mutual and co-dependent,
and that one cannot antagonize the
oJher, without harm resulting. The
farmer who has potatoes to sell must
deal with the buyers who make bust
ness of handling the products and find
ing a market for them, and the buyer
must deal with and is dependent upon
the farmer, for without him he is poor
indeed. One interest must be fair with
the other. In other words hew to the
line of fairness and hang up the Golden
Rule where you can see it.

Mr.. Charles B. Calvert, formerly promi-

land but who co-operated with the repub-
licans in the recent campaign, was seen
today by Star reporter, and in response
to inquiries respecting the political situa-
| ton in Prince Georges county said:
"A rebuke. with a moral effect that will
be lasting, has been administered to Cor
man and Gormanism. His desperate at
tempt to return to power after the striking
reputation of 1895, with the state repub-
lican in the two succeeding elections as q
result Of German treachery to true democ-
racy and the general disgust with demo-
cratic bosses, makes it certain that the
state OF Maryland can hereafter be safely
counted in the republican column.
The outrageous ballot law. passed in ex-
traordinary session OF the legislature, has
received its death blow. Both democrats
and republicans condemn 1t. In Prince
Georges county the election judges, under
instructions, counted out 500 ballots, 900
