Is This Republican Harmony ?

The Baltimore American of yesterday says:
COL E. H. Wardwell, who was secretary to
Hon. William 7. Master while mayor of Bal
timore, has resigned the secretaryshiph of the
Columbian Club, known as the exMayor's
political home.
Colonel Wardwel's letter of resignation has
been in the hands of Mr.. John Burrows, pres
ident of the club, for several days. Mr.. Bur
rows says he will not accept it. Col. Ward
well says he will have to accept it, as he has
had enough of Baltimore city politics for the
present
The Colonel says he is not in sympathy with
the present management of the Republican
party in the city and State, and says he will
make his influence felt toward a change at the
present time.
Colonel Wardwell has great many warm
friends in Baltimore. He is now associate
editor of the Baltimore Journal of Commerce.
The Colonel helped to organize the Columbian
Club, and has always been regarded as one OF
its leading and most enthusiastic members.
He was at one time private secretary to the
late Hon. john A. j. Creswell, postmaster
general in President Grants Cabinet.

Congressman Mudd is out with tolerably
fierce outburst at McComas, Pearre and the
rest who have been spouting smoke in his di-
rection and "slurring' him, he alleges.
He has dug up his hammer and he announces
in his picturesque language. after giving a
couple of lively dabs around generally:
"Of course, take it that every fairminded
man will understand the purpose of all this
kind of talk. 1t seems to me, regret very
much to say, 10 emanate, directly or indirect
Iy, from some part of the same sources that
thought they accomplished great and good
thing by depriving my district and myself of
Federal patronage in recent contest before
the President. 1t would appear that this very
noted achievement did not figure very largely
against me in the recent election.
"Now, am entirely sincere when | say that
am not counting any facti6nal fight in our
Maryland politics. don't want any personal
or factional fights to interfere. but if The afore-
said prominent agencies with their co agencies
and followers are feyerishly impatient for the
Inauguration of the work that they have been
telling the people through the newspapers for
the last four or five months they were going
to do against me in the spring primaries and
in various other respects, as all this sort OF
talk would seem to indicate, want to say to
the gentry that l am ready to accommodate
them ON short notice, or without notice at all,
for that matter, in all that line of work they
might want to enter upon"

.WATERVILLE DAILY TALK

The trouble in regard to royalty for the production of the play, Under the Gaslight," between the Water vile Dramatic club and the owner of the play. has not yet been settled. Correspondence in regard to the sub- ject is still being carried on. In the last letter received from the man who has a copyright on the play, royalty of $50 was demanded. This sum is too exorbitant and the local dramatic club does not think that it can afford such a sum. It is hoped that settle ment satisfactory to both parties can soon be reached.

and the money and hastened to the yil- iage. There was no railroad a Mason, and fearing Wooten would catch her she hired livery rig and was driven from there to Coyington, Ky, There, her money exhausted, she was com peiled to seek work. and spent year in the employ of q Covington family.
 A short time ago she returned to her relatives in Alto Pass, who believed her dead She is now attending her first term of school.
 That she endured the abuses and hardships heaped upon her by Wooten with no disastrous results to either her physical or moral nature is a re- markable fact. Wooten, she says, often compelled her to peddle trinkets. feigning a crippled hand or foot to excite sympathy. Many g night she slept alone by the roadside or in some deserted cabin, where an ordinary girl of her age would almost have died of fright. But, although she can fearless ly spend the night alone in some for saken cabin in the woods, the sight of canyas-covered wagon terrorizes her, for she fears that Wooten may be hunting her down.

Limit of Microscopic Power.

Prof. McKendrick, in his presiden- tial address to the physiology section of the British associa ton, in Septem- Der, remarked that the smallest particle of matter that can be seen with our present microscope is be- tween one-four.hundred -thousandth and one ndred-thousandth Of an inch in diameter. The diffraction of light in the microscope forbids the possibility of seeing smaller objects. Yet the living spores studied by physi- ologists are sometimes s, probably, even smaller in size than the most minute particle that the most perfect micro scope can show.-Sciepce
