THE NEW Collector of Internal Revenue for
Maryland, Mr.. Phillips Lee GoIdsborough,
took the oath of Office and entered upon his
duties on the LIST instant. He bonded in the
sum of $l45 000 Thus far there has been but
one change among the subordnates-Mr.
George E. Sharrer, of Carroll county, was APP
pointed chief deputy collector, succeeding Mr..
John U. Markell, of Frederick county who
resigned to become national bank examiner.
ACCORDING TO statistics compiled by the Cen
sus Bureau, and now in the hands of the prin-
ter, the total capital invested in manufactures
in the United States in 1900 was so S35, 0S6 909
which is 50.7 per cent. more than that invested
ten years ago. The value of the manufactured
products turned out increased $50 per cent
during the decade. Grand as these figures
seem they amount to nothing when compared
with Uncle Sans farms and what he raises
thereon.
Mr.. WILLIAM f. STONE was for the second
time sworn in on Tuesday as Collector of the
Port of Baltimore To show the high esteem
in which Mr.. Stone is held by the officials of
the customs service they got up reception in
his honor and between the hours of 10 and
on Tuesday hundreds of friends called at the
Custom House to pay their respects. The
affair throughout was very pleasant one.

MEDICAL MEN and other scientific specialists
in London say that the tremendous Outpour
of deadly gas from Mount Pelee has lowered
the health conditions all over the world
Thousands of cubic miles of this gas, they say,
is being blown about over the surface of the
earth and as it is heavier than the air it is ne
cessarily breathed wherever it is waited. This
is held to account for the popular belief that
volcanoes breed epidemics-w may be
true in a certain sense, as the gas thus injected
into the atmosphere produces condition ia
vorable to disease.
Miss SARAH SANDS, the oldest white resident
of Annapolis, died at her home in that city, on
Monday last aged 81 years. Her death was
the result of shock from a fall. 1t was in the
historical house in which she died, and which
dates back about three hundred years, that
George Washington sat upon the same chairs
that are there today. Up to the time of the
accident Miss Sands possessed all her faculties.
She read and sewed without glasses, her hear
ing was good and she was bright and inter-
esting talker. She heard the first gun fired at
the battle of North Point, and saw the smoke
as the British burned Washington in 1874
SOME ONE has revived sort of prophecy in
England which runs-"K King shall Edward be,
but never shall be be crowned" Now if this
should be fulfilled there will be hosts of peo-
pie believing there are old hays, gypsies and
soothsayers who can look into the future. 1t
is doubtful that the prophecy quoted was ever
made. It is much easier for some quick-wit-
ted man to frame such prediction when cir
cumstances suit and state it as an old-time
legend. It is sad enough if King Edward
should die, but it would be sll the worse if it
increases belief in old nurses prophecies and
that any one can tell the fate of q man when
he is sixty-two.
THE TURNING down which Bryan got in the
prestige, but those Democrats who imagine he
has been abolished are mistaken, says the st.
Louis Globe Democrat. He has many warm
friends west of the Mississippi and south of the
Ohio yet, and these will not accept the candi-
dates or the policy of the Cleveland wing of
the party. Bryan will undoubtedly have the
power and the disposition to make hard
fight in the campaign of 1904 against the ele-
ment of his party which may assail him or
ignore him in that years convention The
Nebraskan has all the ferocity and the persis-
tence of an Iroquois or an Apache when he is
camping on an enemy's trail
A SMALL tablet of white marble, bearing in
letters of gold brief statement of the life and
deeds of William McKinley-the tribute of his
friend, Judge Thomas H. Anderson, formerly
of Ohio, but now a member of the District
bench-was unveiled in the Metropolitan NJ.
E. Church in Washington last Sunday. The
unwilling was attended with a simple ceremo-
ny, in the presence of some of those who had
helped the dead President execute the will of
the people, Well known public men added
their tributes to the solemn melodies of the
choir in making the occasion memorable
one. The American flag that concealed the
tablet was drawn aside as the congregation
sang with deep feeling, Nearer, My God, to
Thee"

THE FIRST session of the Fifty-seventh Con-
gress adjourned finally at $50 o'clock on Tues
day afternoon, July LIST. in his closing ad-
dress Speaker Henderson said 81 am proud I
to say that no House of Representatives since
the Constitution was adopted has, in the same
length of time, done the amount of work that
this House of Representatives has done. And
you have done your work like men-earnest
and honest as you have all been in carrying
out your convictions so far as possible into
legislation. There has never been an hour
when the acrimony of debate left scars in any
breast in this House. That fact has much
gratiied your presid ing officer. You have all
been faithful and untiring and in the twenty
years of my service have never seen so many
friends in the closing days of a session as I
now witness"
