Act Drew Immense Crowds.

The new act leaped into popular IA
Vor at once. The incredible daring OF
the performance and the seeming fact
that II was more than an equal chance
that the aeronaut would be dashed to
pieces drew immense crowds every
where the leep was advertised to take
place. The man who rode the bag"
could command almost any price he
asked. For some time the three bal
loonlsts who told each other hard-luck
stories In Los Angeles had the field to
themselves. Most of the other aero
nauts were afraid of 1t. With four as
sistants and n pushing manager the
Baldwins made a tour around the
world. In year and a half they net
ted a cool 100000 in cash. To this
they added big money secured from the
managers OF many eastern resorts
rive hundred dollars was the fixed
charge for one performance.
With the advent of other riders of
the bag" as the technical term of the
profession is. prices began to drop.
Many Jumpers Bring Prices Down.
From 81 900 that was once paid for
Fourth of July performances at the big
resorts, prices went steadily down
ward, until $3.50 was reached Still
more recruits came. and nowadays the
ruling price is from SIS to $40, due

Editorial CorrespoHdence Of the Beac0d
Letter From Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, March 10, 1901.
The Extra Session of the Mary
land Legislature is on and the food
gates of oratory have been turned
loose at Annapolis, or course, the
chief topic is the Election Bill
which has been reported to the
House, amended and ordered to be
engrossed for third reading, The
bill will likely be passed by the
House Tuesday. 1t IS by no means
drastic measure and Republicans
are somewhat surprised that it does
not go further. It's main differ
ences from the present Act are it
abolishes emblems and ballot clerks
and requires the names of candi-
dates to be arranged one under the
other. The difference between the
proposed ticket and the old long
ticket, that used to be voted in st.
Mary's, is, that the new ticket is
printed with box to the right Of
candidates names in which the
voter must put cross opposite the
name he wants to vote for. The
section of the old registration law
that required an affidavit to be tax :
en- by voter who removes from
the State or county is re-enacted in
the proposed bill.
In the House the st. Mary's
members have Jared we'll on the new
committees. Mr.. King is on the
Committee on Legislation and Mr..
Garner on the Committee on En-
crossed Bills. An appointment on
this latter committee requires stay
in Annapolis after the adjourn
ment and until all the bills are re-
vised and corrected.
The general opinion seems to be
that the Extra Session will not last
long but will likely adjourn on or
about Saturday, March 16, instant.
As you will see from the daily re.
ports Of the proceedings, the House
Democrats are not unit on the

Election Bill. Messrs. Buckley, Of
Frederick, Pattison, of Dorchester,
and Garner, of st. Mary's, are
against it.
W. v. Waters, of Leonardtown
district, secured the same position
he held at the regular session, viz :
assistant postmaster.
Great improvements are going on
at Annapolis and the city presents
quite an unfinished appearance.
The U. s. Government is doing a
great deal of work at the Naval
Academy and the State is pulling
down and building up on State
House Circle.
Wherever one goes one hears re-
gret expressed at the death Of j.
Frank Ford, late of st. Mary's.
Republicans as we'll as Democrats
speak most admiringly of him as a
man and az n official.
The Baltimore dailies report the
marriage Of Turner Love, of st.
Mary's county, to mem ber OF the
well.known Dulaney family.
1t is thought that this Spring to.
bacco will sell very we'll because OF
the unusually small amount now in
warehouses. The contracts will
have to be supplied almost entirely
from tobacco now in the hands OF
the farmers. 1t is to be hoped that
this will prove true, for our farmers
could stand quite a liberal dose Of
prosperity tonic.

THE AVERAGE AMERICAN.
Characteristics of the Dominant Type of Our
Formulation.


The average American, says DR.. Henry
Gannett in Everybody's Magazine, is a
man five feet eight inches in hight, with
a chest girth of 30 inches, and a weight
of $50 pounds. He is nearly an inch taller
than his English cousin, and more than
an inch taller than his distant cousin.
the German. He probably looks over the
heads OF all European peoples. In weight,
however, he is exceeded by both English
man and German, being of simmer and
lighter build, although he is probably as
heavy as the average European.
His family consists of one wife and
three children, fourth having died in
infancy. His age is 81 years, and he e1-
poets to live so years longer. His ex-
pectatiOn of life is greater by a year or
two than that of the representative Of
any other people, those who most nearly
approach him being our kin, the English
and Germans. His wife is 35 years OF
age, is FIVE feet four inches in hight, and
weighs 126 pounds. She will live to the
age of CS years, as her expectation of life
is slightly greater than that of her bus-
band. They Were married 10 years ago.
The two elder children are pursuing their
studies in the public schools, which the
youngest child has not yet entered. Both
he and his wife received a common-school
education but did not continue their stud
les into the high school.
His home is near Columbus, Ind, to-
ward the southern part of the State, at
an altitude of 800 feet above the sea. At
this place the mean annual temperature
is 53 deg, and the annual rainfall Al
inches. Here he owns farm of 137
acres, so acres of which are under Guilt

AN ARTILLERY DUEL.

These dispositions for battle made by
the two armies consumed some time, and
it was not till $3.50 O'Clock that the battle
oir@ned, with nearly the whole of the ar
tillery on either side in position; 20 of
the best guns on the Confederate side
and IS on the Federal side were engaged
and for two hours they Numbered at each
other across this narrow valley, whilst
further disposition was being made for
the struggle between the infantry at closer
quarters.
Garnett's Brigade, consisting Of the
21st, 18th, 47th and 1st Va, were orderel
TO move to the left, through the woods,
over the ground which is now the cleared
ground about the ThrockmOrton house,
and if possible reach the right of the Fed
! eral line, turn it, charge and capture the
battery posted on the west side of the
road. Upon recOnnOitering the situation
/ ii was found impracticable 10 execute this
| order. 1t was found that the right bat
teries, on the Federal line, were sup
l.ported by infantry posted in and in rear
of the woods on the high ground on what
is now the Cooper farm, and the greater
| portion of the cavalry was also masSed
| under the protection Of the same hill
| This brigade was then placed in line of
! battle along the crest of the hill, in the
! rear of the wheatfield which lay between
| the two lines Of battle with its right con-

facing northeast, with view of protect

ment and LIST Va. battalion were in line
fronting the wheatfield. The LIST Va. was
on the extreme left and an interval ex-
| listed between that and the next regiment
in line.
About this time Gen. Jackson appeared
on this part of the field. He at once
saw that the exposed condition of the
left flank invited an attack and that the
nature Of the ground was exceedingly ia
yorable for such Il movement ON the part
of his adversary. He directed Gen. Car
nett to look well to his left and to re-
quest his division commander to reinforce
| him.

the 10th, 23d, 18th and 47th Va. and
the 18th Ala, ha ing arrived on the field.

road leading into the Crttenden house. in
