mail messengers, star-route carriers and wag-
ons, as compared with in 1901; 455 of street
and rural free-delivery letter boxes, as com
pared with 258 in 1901. This large increase

The Vote in Carroll.

The vote in Carroll last Tuesday was the
smallest cast in the county for some years.
The vote is 1857 less than was cast for Gov
ernor in 1885, As compared with the vote
of that year the Democratic vote this year
was 1180 short and the Republican vote was
6s3 short.
The vote last year for Comptroller was
light but compared with last years returns
the Democratic vote of Tuesday was $40 short
and the Republican vote 1862 short.
1t will thus be seen that the Democratic stay
at home vote was far greater this year than
the Republican delinquents, and that on a
full vote Carroll is Democratic by about $50
majority.
The total vote this year was 1896 divided
as follows Republican 3194, Democratic
1885, Prohibition 227. The defective ballots
numbered 313.

Ching to GO to the Penitentiary

Joseph H. Ching, a Republican leader in
St. Mary's county, and one of sgd. Mudd's
lieutenats, must pay fine of $1,000 and go to
the Penitentiary for two years for Census
frauds committed in 1900. Ching was con-
victed in the United States district court at
Baltimore in June, 1901 and took an appeal
to the United States Circuit Court ofAppeals.
That tribunal on Thursday, at Richmond,
Va, sustained the court below, and Ching
must serve his term and pay the iue. Mudd
will likly pay the fine and he will induce
Roosevelt to pardon Ching long before his
time is out Ching was seeking to aid Mudd
in padding the lists, so that ST. Marys county
would have larger representation in the Leg
islature and in Republican conventions, and
Mudd owes it to him to pay the fine and to
endeavor to have him pardoned. Some OF
the other census frauds rascals will now be
tried, it is said.

must go.

just how the next House of Representa-
tives will stand is now somewhat uncertain,
and only official returns will tell. So far as
the returns show the Democrats have gained
81 districts as follows: One in Arkansas, 2
in California, 2 ia Colorado. in Florida, in
Iowa, in Kentucky, l in Louisiana, in
Maryland, in Massachusetts, in Michigan,
in Missouri, in New Jersey, in North
Carolina, in Pennsylvania, in Rhode Is
land, in Texas, l IN Washington, / in Wis
consin, and in New York.
The Republicans have gained 10 districts
as follows: One each in Colorado, Kansas,
Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Penn
sylvania. Tennessee, Virginia, Washington
and West Virginia.
This would indicate that the Republican
majority in the present House of 40 had been
reduced to 10 in the next House.

WHITE HOUSE RENOVATION
Some Criticism Of The Changes
Now Being Made.

Considerable criticism is heard at Washing
ton, of the work ofrenovating the White House
and erecting an executive office.
The former, il is said. was to cost Sl65, 900,
with the understanding that none of the his
torical associations was to be wiped out, and
the latter about $40, 000 1t is now said the
whole work will cost about $40, 900. Some
of the changes at the White House. it is stated !,
will be out of keeping with the simple dignity
of the original structure.
In effecIing an enlargement OF the state
dining room to provide accommodations for
100 instead of 80 guests at dinner one of the
original walls of the building has been ripped
out in its entirety. Ii is the old north wall of
the state dining room, which formerly separa-
ted that chamber from the winding stairs down
which successive Presidents stepped with their
wives and Cabinet members on their way to
receptions in the East Room. The stairs also
have been removed. One window on the
west side of the state dining room, which was
placed there when the building was originally
erected, has been sealed up. The wall which
has been removed extended from the base
ment to the attic and not vestige of it is left.
In place of the window there will be fire.
place.
The oval library is the room in which the
wife of President Adams used to hold her re
c6ptlO0S anu WHICH TcsluCHG hihCoiu bno
converted into library. President johnson
was the first to hold his Cabinet meetings in
the room of recent years used for that purpose.
In the renovation and decoration and rear
rangemeat now in progress tablet has been
put in the east wall of this room with the in
accurate record that President Grant was the
first To hold Cabinet meetings there.
During the administration of President Har-
rison the floor of the south portico of the White
House was laid in marble mosaic, embodying
spread eagle and the coat of arms of the
United States This will be replaced by a
| floor of white marble. This change is criti-
csed as unnecessarily expensive as well as
| destructive of associations.
The outside improvements of the building
are on a scale of greater magnitude than the
public has expected. Probably the work will
not be finished in less than sixmonths. Where
the greenhouses at the west side of the White
House stood is a long terrace connecting the
main building with the temporary office build
ing. On the other side of the building to the
east, on a terrace, has been placed one-story
brick structure extending out on the ground
level. The tops of these terraces are fiat and
about on a level with the first floor OF the
| mansion.

FULLBAoK SLABS; SAVES GAME
Improved Football By Negro Teams
Up In New York Stale.

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, Nov 2.-David
Smith, negro, while trying to make touch
down in football game yesterday, was stabbed
twice by Matthew Jenkins. negro, who was
the fullback on the opposing team.
Smith got the ball and made dash for the
enemy's goal. He managed TO get past all
his opponents excepting Jenkins, who was
guarding goal. As he approached Jenkins
the latter drew clasp knife and threatened
to stab him if he tried TO reach the goal
Smith kept on, however, and jenkins raced
after him. Jenkins caught up to him just as
Smith was about to cross the liue and stabbed
the latter in the chin and abdomen. The
wounds are serious, but are not believed 10
be fatal. jenkins was arrested.
The use Of knives or razors in football
games cannot be too strongly deprecated. If
the game is not sufficiently fatal, revolvers
should be used. In this game there seems to
have been no excuse even for shooting, as a
good blow from a heavy club would have been
sufficient to prevent the touchdown. The cry
that has gone up all over the countrythis season
for revision of football rules should be heed
ed. Revise the rules and bar knives.
