SCHOOL EXHIBIT AT EXPOSITION

SCHOOL EXHIBIT AT EXPOSITION.
/ shall collect and look after a
school exhibit at the exposition
ut Charleston. In the nature of
things, the best work of the
schools (the training of mind and
character) cannot be exhibited.
There is not much work of the
pupils that is objective and tsngi
BILE, and no school should attempt
to make an exhibit unless it has
something to exhibit. Yet l hope
there may bs some country schools
with something to exhibit in the
way of drawing, globes, raised
maps, or some results of manual
training. Let your teachers know
that their schools are invited to
send an exhibit If they will take
part they should write me at once
so that | may arrange for free
transportation.

Entertained The Annapolitan olnb.

BY special invitation of one OF its MEM
bers, Albini, the great magician. visited
the Annapolltan Club last night after the
performance at the Opera House. He
showed the members some OF his mar
velous tricks most of which were with
cards. as he did not have his necessary
paraphernalia with him at the Club.
During the performance of sleight-oi-
hand tricks which amazed and enter
tanned those present, the discussion arose
about spiritualism, hypnotism. &c. AL
bini denied the existence OF either force,
and attributed the feats performed under
those names to magnetism and mental
telegraphy. To prove this he expert
mented on one of the club men whose
back was turned to the magician. and
who completely succumbed under Albini's
magnetic influence, falling in his arms.
Other manifestations of his power con-
vinced the Club of the cleverness OF the
conjurer.

Potato Crop Figures

According 20 the Department of Agri-
culture in 1900 the potato crop reached
in round numbers, al 200. 900 bushels,
worth on the farm almost So2, ,ooo, 900.
This was the largest value since 1894.
although the crop was about 10, 900 900
bushels smaller than in 1899 The de-
crease in yield was more than made up
by an advance from 80 cents to 43.I cts.
IN the average farm price. The great
potato states are, in the order named,
New York, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Michi-
gan, Illinois, Ohio. Wisconsin, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Missouri. Kansas and Maine
The New York crop is twice that OF any
other State, and represents one-eighth OF
the money value OF the total. The potato
areas in the states outside of New York
run from LOG, 900 TO 2oo, ,coo acres each.
A hint to housewives is given by the de-
partment when it suggests that to secure
the greatest nutritIve value, potatoes
should be peeled before cooking, placed
directly in hot water and boiled rapidly.
When they are placed in cold water,
which is slowly brought to boil, they
suffer serious loss of food material.

so his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His
malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was
treated by the best doctors, but without
benefit. Then he was advised to try
Electric Biiters, the wonderful Stomach

POLITICAL POT BOILING.
Campaign Formally Opens On Monday
And Tuesday Nights Political
Meetings At The Opera
House Next
Week.

The political pot which has heretofore
been slowly simmering over a low FIRE,
will reach the boiling point over a hot
blaze on Monday and Tuesday nights of
next week. when the Democrats and Re-
publicans will hold their respective meet
ings at the Opera House.
AT the Democratic meeting on NJ inday
night there will be an address by DIR. !.
w. Herring, OF Carroll county, candidate
for Comptroller OF the State Treasury !;
Mr.. ]. Frank Turner, of Talbot county,
candidate for Clerk OF the Court of Ap-
peals. and State Senator DIN Bryan, of
Baltimore city. The Democrats appear
to be united party, and are confident
OF success, believing that the election law
will work to their advantage.
There have been no local meetings
held, but like "Brer Fox they have
been "laying' low and sayin' muffin"
The Democrats have been doing good
work in quiet way. and making a can
vass embracing the entire county. DIR.
George Wells claims the county from
500 to 700 majority, and 1t is claimed by
prominent pohucal leaders in the Demo
cratic ranks any where from three TO
seven hundred.
The Republicans are equally confident
of success. A prominent Republican.
Mr.. Arthur B. Carter, said today that
the chances for Republican success al
the coming November election are very
good. Mr. Carter said in the Republl-
can ranks there are much greater mum
Der OF illiterates, but they are being con-
stantly instructed and scarcely a night
passes without meeting In some part OF
the county. AT these meetings there are
able speakers, and later mock elections
are held tor the benefit of illiterates.
Hundreds and thousands of tickets are
voted, and those who vote wrong are
properly instructed and required to vote
again. IL is hoped in this way TO edu-
cate the negro vote for the November
election. Mr.. Carter said the Republi
cans are not making any estimates Of
majoIities, because OF the uncertainty OF
the new election law. The party is said
to be united. On Tuesday night, Octo-
ber 2oth, the Republicans will hold their
State meeting at the Opera House. Among
the orators OF the evening will be Senator
Lewis Z. McComas, Hon. Phillips Lee
Goldsborough, OF Dorchester county and
Hon. Thomas Parran, of Calvert county,

Appeals.

Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor life,
they are little if any stronger than they
were. The tan on their faces is darker

easily tired, upset by trihes, and they do
not eat nor sleep well, What they need
is what tones the nerves, perfects diges-
ton, creates appetite, and makes sleep
refreshing, and that is Hoods Sarsapa-

Young Womans' Christian Temperance
Union of this city is going TO protest. The
members of this Union will shortly call
upon the parents and tax payers with
petitions for them to sign protesting
against the issuing OF these licenses. 1t
is to be hoped that all right thinking par
ents and citizens will gladly sign such
petitions. and will use their influence in
every way against the issuing OF these
licenses, thereby lessening the dens of
evil. and have their children reach their
school. without coming in contact with
the demorallzlng influences which the

Book of The Royal Blue.D

The October number OF the "Book of
The Royal Blue, published by the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad Company, has
been devoted in its entirety as a memo
rial to President Mckinley. The volume
contains a composite editorial carefully
constructed from editorials of the leading
newspapers; a composite sermon from ali
the noted divines, and composite eulo-
gy from the many touching tributes of
prominent citizens. The intention has
been to collect the beautiful thoup hts
which we're expressed and put them to-
gether in such form as to make a valu-
able memento, and one which every one
will desire TO keep. Mr.. McKinley's
last speech at Buffalo and appropriate
poems complete the number. The in.
tention of the publishers has been to
make this edition one of unusual import
ance, and they were successful.
