MARYLAND SQUABBLE
Wants Dele, alton to Settle
the Question
Subtreasurership at Baltimore Has
Been Hanging Fire Long
Enough.

The prolongaticn of the factional fight
in tire Maryland delegation in Congress
over the filling OF the subtreasurership
at Baltimore has drawn from President
Roosevelt a very direct intlmation to
Senator McComas, Representative Mudd,
and all the other members of Congress
from that state that he expects them to

delay
All of the gentlemen concerned have
been given to understand that Mr..
Roosevelt views with extreme disfevor
the continued pickering over the ap-
pointment. and the consequent discus
sion of the case at great length in the
daily papers. The President has 10 de-
sire to be drawn Into a local political
controversy. and hopes for some plan
mutually agreeable TO the Maryland fac
tions.
Considerable Personal Feeling.
Though the appointment has been
hanging fire for weeks past, the settle
ment OF the case row seems even further
from an amicable adjustment than 1t lid
at the very beginning. Since the dele
cations first Endorsement, made unani-
mously in favor Of A. L. Boiling, was
withdrawn. the lines have been drawn
tighter and tighter until now the latest
Developments indicate considerable per
sonal feeling between the leaders Of the
opposing factions.
Mr. Mudd is sticking to his recon-
mendation of Captain James d. Belt. to
whom Senator McComas Immediately
filed objections. IN case the nomination
Of Mr. Belt cannot be amicably agreed
upon in few days. however, 1t is ex-
pected that Mr.. Mudd. in accordance
with his announced intentions, will sug-
gest third candidate.

1t Is understood that the President
wishes to appoint some one who has
been In the banking business and that,

EXPERIENCE OF A YOUNG AUTHOR
,xt:~''7f
.@FAS-d,

Georgia Writer Who Pictured Himself
with the Laurel Wreath.
Dickens has interpreted for all of
us the feelings Of the young writer
when he forwarded his first contribu-
ton to the editor. The following lit
tie story of experience in that line is
told by Georgia writer: my first
sketch and poem I dropped in little
box, then hung around the box for two
hours, until the postman came and
gathered it's contents. The articles
were sent to a daily paper in my
native town, and for whole week the
Office where that paper was printed
was the supreme object of interest to
me. I was up and dressed long before
daylight every morning, watching for
the carrier. Then, when he made his
appearance, I met him at the door and
received the paper, which I almost
feared to open lest the absence of my
work would bring another flashing
pang' of bitter disappointment. At
last my sketch-my poem-appeared
WithrWritten specially for The Times
over both of them! The boy had
reached the gate but I called him back
and gave him dollar. Then I locked
myself in my room and sat down and
felt good, and looked out upon the
world and saw that it was beautiful,
and wondered when the messenger
would call around with the laurel and
just how it would look on my head"

Doing His Best Friend.

In his Office down town this young
man is looked upon as a person of
probity and fine moral sensibilities.
He does not have to be all that to
keep his place, for he is rich, and
<hSugh he is the junior partner he
supplies the main part Of the capital
and most of the commercial clever
ness, says the New York Post. Every
year or two he goes west to pick up
some branded ponies for his polo
string, selling off those which cannot
be- easily taught the game, or that
have "gone wrong" in wind, limb or
eyesight. His elderly partner who
was his guardian during minority, and
who believes in him utterly as one
whom he himself has nodded by pre-
cept and example, caught this part OF
what the young man was telephoning
the other day:
''Now be careful, James; Mr.. Fres-
ling may come to-day to see that blue
roam mare. You'd better give her a
pint OF whisky, stuff a sponge up her
nose, and inject a little cocaine into
her hind Leg"
BLESS, my soul!' exclaimed the old
man; what are you doing?"
"Only selling horse to my best

A Marvellous Costume.

On the occasion of a garden party
at Benares, given by the viceroy, a
wonderful dress was worn by the
Countess Palovolovetsch, which excit-
ed much admiration. Seen from near
at hand the gown seemed to be made
up Of tongues of blue fame, with occa-
sional streaks of bright light flashing
across, and all resting on a bed Of
liquid fire. Then the appearance
would change and it's wearer seemed
to be wrapped in multi-colored flame.
1t was noticed that the countess never
sat down, but was constantly on the
move. During her organizations a
friend asked her about her marvellous
costume, and discovered that it was
simple gown of rich brocade, orna-
mented with fire-flies. There were 535

Hold Foreign Titles.

King Edward is the first emperor
who has ever sat on the British throne
but he is not by any means the only
Englishman whose title embraces ter
ritory outside the British Isles. The
foreign titles of well-known English
men would make long list. The
Duke of Marlborough is a prince of
the Holy Roman Empire; his grace
of Wellington has Spanish dukedom,
a Portuguese princedom, and Lord
Bridport holds Lord Nelson's old title
of duke Of Bronte in Sicily; Lord Dun
donald is marquis of Macmillan in
Brazil, and Lord Nerburgh is Prince
Giustiniani and fifth marquis of Bau-
dini-both Italian titles. . =

Hanged and Buried, Yet Lived.

1t is not given to many men to be
hanged and buried, and yet be able
to tell the tale, but such was the ex-
perience of one John Bartesdale, who
was executed at York in 1884 for fell
Ony. After his body had hung for
nearly an hour, it was buried. A gen.
tleman passing by the grave, which
had not been filled up, thought he saw
the earth move, and with the help Of
his servant, he disinterred the con-
vict. who was still alive. It was the
custom in those days to bury suicides
and executed criminals without any
coffin. The man was carefully treated,
and entirely recovered. He became
hostler at the coaching house in York,
and lived a most exemplary life.
When asked what he could tell in re-
lation to hanging, as having expert
enced it, he replied: That when I was
turned off flashes of fire seemed to
dart from my eyes, from which l fell
into state of darkness and insensi-
bility'

M:Smated Names.

The union of the given name with
the surname often makes an amusing
combination. Sometimes it is accident
al, but more often designed. The
story that went the rounds of the
newspapers some time ago that Gov
ernor Hogg of. Texas had named his
two daughters IRA Hogg and Ina
Hogg, it is gratifying to know, has
been denied. A case in the east of
Columbus has come to the notice of
the observer. A gentleman who bears
the common name of Case has named
his little daughter "Ura" Case.
M. A. Bridge, the well-known chief
clerk in the office of the state dairy
and food commissioner, has named a
son brooklyn" Brooklyn is not an
uncommon name in itself, but Brook
Ign bridge is somewhat startling.

A story of eleven days in an open
boat, with the fierce sun of the tropics
beating upon them, and only two
swallows of water and half ships
biscuit day each, was the tale OF
adventure and suffering told by Mate
Manuel de Viaria and his eight COM
panions, who arrived at New York
brought them from Dominica, in the
West Indies.
De Viaria and his men were part
of the crew of the New Bedford whal-
ing bark Kathleen, which was stove
by an angry sperm whale $50 miles
from land in West Indian waters on
March II.
Driven to the boats with only a
scant moment in which to snatch up
water and biscuits and then separated
upon the wide sea, it is a curious fact
that every person aboard was saved
Even the parrot Of the captains wife
arrived safely at home. The survivors
in the two boats reached home within
twenty-four hours of each other.
De Viaria and his men sat together
in the smoking room of the Sailors
Home in Cherry street. De Viaria was

Crew Of the Whaler Kathleen Tells Graphic Story Of Remarkable
= Adventures When Ship Is Sunk by an
Amor Monster
Angry Monster.

Suddenly, on March %, about II a.
NJ, the lookout shouted "Land!"
De Viaria held his course until he
saw a long point to the north, sailed
beyond it and recognized the harbor
Of Port Smith. At $3.50 that night
they landed, exactly eleven days and
nights after the boats started away
from the ship in company.
I'VE were so weak when We got
ashore" said De Viaria, that !; we
could not stand up, but We got over
that pretty soon."
Third Mate Hobart R. Reynolds told
the story Of the sinking of the ship
and the adventures of the boats.
Three of the four boats had got fast
to whales at once, he said, and the
first mate had brought a big cow
whale alongside and made it fast in
the tackles on the port side of the
bark. A bull whale had broken from
the school, and suddenly appeared
about two ships lengths away from
the bark.
"There's big bull close alongside"
cried Capt. Jenkins. Better go after
him, Mate"
The mates boat was within striking
distance within few moments. They
drove harpoon deep into the whale.
The big breast struck out with a
speed which set fire to the Whaleboat
where the line ran out, and made
straight for the ship. He struck her
fairly on the starboard side amidships
as she lay hove to.
The whale sank at once.
The bark was sixty years old. The
whale crushed in her side and she
began to careen at once. Capt Jenk-
ms, his wife, the steward and cabin
boy were all that were left aboard.
The mate, seeing that the ship was
in distress, cut loose from the whale
and went to the captains aid.
The steward tried to get at the pro-
visions below, but could get nothing
but box Of ships bread. The cap
tain secured four pals of fresh water,
and with the bread and parrot aban-
doned the ship.
After dividing up the bread and
water to his men. They discovered
that spray had spoiled the water. It
was all salt. 49,.
well, boys" he said, 'it's all up
with US, but Ill see what We can do to
reachi Barbados A little later, he
sighted the captains boat. The cap
tain divided what fresh water was
left between the two boats.
Fortunately their voyage, was not
long. At 9 o'clock they sighted
smoke, and the Borderer, bound with
coal from Baltimore to Chile, sighted
them After picking up the captain
and third mates boats, the Borderer
cruised about and found the second
mates boat. .~ T.
All were hoisted aboard, boats and
all. The ~Borderer cruised about in
circles, looking for the fourth boat,
until dark, and then went off: She
