She is the Baroness Bronsart Won
Schellendorf, formerly Miss Isabella

in the German army, and conducts the
experimental stations by which the gov
eminent is seeking to determine the COM

The wedding tour of the couple took
them avn on the east coast Of Africa

of the journey was made overland to the
foot of the great killimandjaro.
When the Baron decides upon a drive
he calls in, about a week before hand
the different chiefs who will control the
men that day. Each chief is shown

tons he is to follow on the day of the
drives. For a week he is trained in
this signal language. One signal means

Gov. Smith occupied the seat at the

The vote was by ballot and was only
taken after a sharp skirmish, led by
Isaac L. Straus of Baltimore city, who
was bitterly opposed to the reelection
of Gen. Murray Vandiver, the present
incumbent and the nominee of the
Democratic caucus.
Mr. Straus succeeded last night in
postponing a vote on the resolution to
go into the election of treasurer to-
day. But when IT came up in the
House this morning he met a crush

Mr.. Snodgrass of Tennessee, dis
cussed the legal and constitutional
phases of the proposition to admit ex-

the view that the care of Union SOL

could be opened to any other needy

Louisville, KY, Jan. 4.-Continuing
the opposition to the playing of Uncle
Toms Cabin" which was begun by
the Lexington Chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, re-
questing the manager of the Lexington
Opera House to not allow the play
from Mrs. Stoves book to be presented
there, the Albert Sidney Johnston
Chapter of Louisville to-day began a
movement to petition the Kentucky
Legislature to prohibit the presenta-
tion of the play in this state. A COM
mittee was appointed to draw up the
petition and resolutions indorsing the
Lexington chapters action.
Mrs. Basil w. Duke, wife Of Gen.

will, through the present state presi-

state in an effort to have them COM

Mrs. Mary b. Ball expressed the
opinion that the members of the AL

DEMOCRATS ARE PLEASED.
Gorman's Election Makes Them
Glad mt Washington.

Washington. Jan. 4.-The news Of
the election of Senator German at An
napolis was most welcome to the Dem
ocrats at both ends of the Capitol and
many kilograms of congratulations
we're sent him this Afternoon. While
there has been no real doubt of Senator
Gorman's election since the state cleo
ton last fall, the reports of complica-
tions inside Democratic ranks at An
napolis have had a tendency to create
nervousness here where the exact sit
uation was not already understood.
Gormans own election and the election
of Vandiver show that the Democratic
hold on the Maryland Legislature is
complete, and it is the belief among
Democrats that the state will be found
safely in the Democratic column i'm the
presidential election of 1904, and in the
future beyond. Germans return to the
Senate means a great addition to the
Democratic strength in that body and
in Congress. His great ability as
leader is universally recognized and
the opportunity for real leadership is
unquestioned
