Senatorial Contests.

Ex-senator Gaay's friends, by the aid Of a
few Democrats, controlled the organization Of
the Pennsylvania Legislature on Tuesday.
Mr.. Quay has been nominated for Senator by
the Republican caucus, but be is still three
votes short of a sufficient number TO elect. If
the Democrats do not aid him a dead lock
will result and Pennsylvania will be repre-
scented by but one Senator for another year.
Gas Addicks, of Delaware, needs several
votes 10 secure seat in the United States
Senate, and it is doubtful if he will be able to
secure them. The Legislature has TWO Sen
ators TO elect, one for full term and one 10
fill vacancy. Ifa compromise is not effected
between the Addicks and Dupont factions,
and the Democrats hold aloof, the state will
not be represented in the Senate at all. It
would be better for the country if Delaware
be unrepresented than that the body be dis
graced by the presence of Addicks, bold
corruptionists and carpet-bagger, who holds
voting residence in Delaware simply TO make
himself eligible to seat in the United States

with 1899, as we'll as to descriptions OF baiti-

There was an advance in wholesale clothing
over the previous year, some increase IN
wholesale dry goods, some also in the retail
trade, with decline in silks and woolens.
In shoes and leather the trade was main
tanned, while in canned goods the trade was
the greatest in the history Of the city. The
receipts in coffee was the greatest for eight
years, while general imports break all records
and there was an increase in exports.
There was decided progress in shipbuild-

exceeded in the past nineteen years.
One hundred and sixty corporations were
formed daring the year, with capital Of
nearly $4,000, 600 Some merely converted
private enterprises into corporate companies,

SUICIDE m HOWARD COUNTY
Miss Ethel Pue, near Cooksville,
Ends Her Life With Pistol


Miss Ethel Pue, eldest daughter of Mr..
Fourth district Of Howard county, committed
suicide last Monday night, at her fathers
home, near Cooksville, by shooting herself
through the head with pistol. The act, as
far as could be learned, seems to have been
carefully deliberated and carried into effect
without the slightest nervous hesitation.
Monday night preparations had been made
by the suicide and her three sisters for card
party entertainment, and number of guests
had arrived. Miss Ethel had delayed coming
down stairs, stating to one of her sisters that
she was not feeling we'll Some time after
wards she was missing from her room, and
upon search being made she was found lying
dead in the garden Firmly grasped in her
right hand was her brothers. pistol, with one
of the chambers empty. She had placed the
weapon to her temple and fred, the ball en
tering the brain above the ear. From all APP
pearances, death must have been almost in
Simultaneous, as there were no evidences of
the slightest struggle.
Miss Pne was % years of age, and the oldest
of four daughters. She was quite intelligent
aud very popular. Her father is son of the
late DIR. Arthur Pue, of Howard county, and
is among the most prominent farmers in that
section.
Miss Pue had been suffering for couple of
days with neuralgia, and had expressed a de-
sire to die, but that she contemplated taking
her life was undreamed of by relatives and
friends. The tragic occurrence has deeply
affected the entire community, throughout
which the young lady was eminently popular

and STA, 113, 1886 in amount Of liabilities,
against 1898 in 1899, for $l2S, l32,679 Of
this aggregate SO were banks and financial
concerns, with $50, 6l7, 563 liabilities, so that
strictly commercial failures numbered 10, ia,
and were $138, 495, 673 in amount. As there
were only 1887 commercial failures in 1899,
and the Indebtedness amounted TO 500, $780,
889, comparison with the preceding year is
extremely unfavorable. Every section Of the
country reported an increase The only states
reporting fewer failures than IN 1899 were
Vermont, Rhode Island, West Virginia, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Kansas, Indian Territory, Montana and Wy

A dispatch from New York, published in
the Baltimore papers of Monday. announces
that the Order of the Holy Cross, now located
in Westminster. will remove its headquarters
to West Park, New York. This news (?) is
almost one year old, as the papers will dis
cover by reference to their own files. The
Order will remove there when its buildings
are completed, but they have not yet been
begun. The contributions to the erection of
the buildings, as reported in the Holy Cross
Magazine for January, amount to "a, 1926, and
more are soon expected. 1t is not probable
the Order will leave Westminster for two
years, and their House here will probably be
retained as a summer home. The attitude of
Bishop Paret toward the Ofder, as the New
York dispatch minated, he'd nothing to do
with the building of new home oil the Hud-
son. In New York the Order will be closer
to their special field of labor

It is hoped that the scheme to sell the
Western Maryland Railroad will fail Col.
Hood is managing it with cousummate ability
and it is gradually growing in earning capaci-
ty as well as supplying the demands of its
patrons. The city of Baltimore will greatly
err should it decide to sell out the road to
Northern spectators. Should these people
gain control Of it, they will reorganize aud
rebond the road, and make million of dol
lars or so out Of it, and the people living along
lis route will have to pay for it.

This is warm sunshiny day, windows all
up and clothing feels to heavy, in fact our
winter has been pleasant so far. Although
we have had frost, tomato and Irish potato
vines are still green. The orange trees have
made fine growth the past season and if we
are not frozen out this winter will cut some
oranges next fall; they are pretty to look at,
if not profitable as an investment just now
Although if we have a series of winters like we
had from rs to '95 this would be the very
time for man to buy himself rich. A great
many groves in the northern part of the orange
belt have been abandoned. Nearly all have
been cared for at this place and they show a
great appreciation.
We now make our meat by using cold stor
age for the hams and shoulders until they have
taken the salt, which takes about 80 days,
then smoking with the same kind of s'old

On the FIRST of next month the war in the
Philippines will have been in progress two
years, and the end is not in sight. Congress
will make large appropriations of money for
its further prosecution and greatly increase
the standing army. In the two years of war
there seems to have been no very substantial
progress made in making the people submit to
our rule. On the contrary the FiIipinos
seem to have become more embittered against
us and more determined to resist our authori-
ty in the archipelago.

IN MEMORIAM.

In loving remembrance of my dear husband.
9eorge w. Wagner, who died December q, 1896,
He has crossed the shining river
And has gained that radiant shore
Where no heart with grief can CULVER,
And all parting scenes are DER.
He has met the dear departed,
And has heard the welcome home
BY the true and tender hearted
That before him hence has flown.
They were waiting at the portal
To receive his spirit there
When he laid aside the mortal
For garb more bright and fair
He has Joined the heavenly chorus,
So we never should think him dead:
He has oft returned to greet US
From the land just overhead.
We will soon pass on to meet him,
And make whole the broken band;
Meet MIN just across the river
In the happy spirit land.
Where his arms will be extended
To embrace us one bv one
When our work below is ended
And our mortal course is run.
