Appearances Are Deceptive.

When looking at Lord Charles
Beresford's strong, vigorous frame II
is difficult to realize that he was
once a delicate lad and was sent to
sea for the sake of his health, says
Tit Bits. He tells the story that
when, In 1860. he first set foot on
board ship and was making his way
along the deck Of H. NJ. s. Marlbor-
ough to report himself. he overheard

Changes In Burns Cottage.

Some extensive changes are being
made in the Burns cottage at Alloway,
Scotland, where the poet was born, but
assurance is given that the external
appearance will not be injured, and In
a way the place will be made more
like what it was in Burns day, for
an outbuilding erected between 1905
and 1919 is to be removed. There
now an entire electric tramway rum

envy in the cotton growing districts of
Central Asia. The .locusts have been

ton What are the ambitious and
patriotic young Democrats of Mary
land going to do about it?
Are they going to lie by supinely,
until their best years are spent, in
denure submission to the selfish
'hunkerism' which is sapping the
substance and life of the party and
perpetuating it in defeat and dis
grace?
The crying need of the Democracy
of Maryland and of Baltimore city is
a brand-new management, infused
with young blood.
Let the young men of the State
and of the city wake up and get to-
gether and under the guidance of ca
pable and resolute spirits turn the
'hunkers' out.
Then, assuming themselves the
Just responsibilities and powers which
attach to PARTY government. they
may restore the proud traditions of
Maryland craftsmanship and keep the
State safely anchored where it be-
longs

BLOOMINGTON.

Mr.. Wash. LiOar, OF Barnum, w.
Va, died at his home on Friday morn
ing at 8 a. III. He was a blacksmith
by trade and lived at Empire for a
number of years prior to his removal
to Barnum. He belonged to the Ju-
Nor Order of this place, committee
from which attended his funeral on
Wednesday afternoon. He was buried
in the Paugh grave yard near his late
home.
Messrs. Tichnell Bros and Ohio
Barnard went to Oakland on Wednes-

Mrs. Maggie Collins new house is
nearing completion. If the weather
permits the plastering and painting
will be finished in the next week or
ten days.
Nothing definite has been deter
mined with reference to Dubois &
Bond leasing the old Lochiel mill site
for the erection of new plant. Prior
to January list the firm seemed anx-
ious to obtain the location and nego-
tiations were about completed. Since
that time matters have changed and
it is feared now, by those who were
anxious to see the industry come to
this place, that other arrangements,
detrimental to our interests here,
have been made.
Two car loads of stone for furnace
lining were shipped to Locust Point
this week from the quarry on Bry-
don's Addition. We understand these
are sample cars and a test is to be
made as to their quality for retaining
heat and withstanding the extreme
high temperature of furnace fires. If
the test is satisfactory and proves
favorable another industry to furnish
employment to our people will be
opened up.

Friends of Ex-Governor Lowndes
are again agitating the question of
his appointment to place in the of
fetal family of President Roosevelt
this time in connection with the office
OF Secretary of the Navy, which is to
become vacant soon through the res
lgnation of Mr.. John D. Long.
Shortly before Christmas it was an
nounced that Ex-Governor Lowndes'
friends had brought his name to the
attention of the President in connec-
ton with the position of Secretary of
the Treasury, which became vacant
through the resignation of Mr. Gage. -
The office has since been offered to
Governor Shaw, of Iowa, who has ac-
cepted it.
1t IS now said that no special efforts
were made in behalf the Marylander
In connection with the Treasury port
folio, and that such representations
as were made to the President were
merely to the effect that, in view of
the reported intention of several of
the Cabinet officers to resign, ex-Gov-
ernor Lowndes might be considered
as possibility for one of the posi-
tons
President Roosevelt and ex-Gov-
ernor Lowndes are friends of long
standing, and during the latters cam
paign for reelection in 1899 the Pres
ldent made tour of the State in his
behalf. 1t is being especially urged
by those who are friendly to the ex-
Governor that his appointment to
the head of the Navy Department
would go long way toward putting
an end to the Schley controversy, he
being from the same State as the Ad-
miral. Such decisions as he might be
forced to render in this case would be
considered by Admiral Schley's ad-
herents as those OF friend, and
would not be contested.
Senator McComas, in an interview
in Baltimore paper, makes public
for the first time the fact that Gov.
Lowndes had been offered the mission
as Ambassador to Spain by the late
President Mckinley. After proper
consideration of the mission Gov.
Lowndes felt obliged to decline. He
rendered his sincere gratitude to the
President for the offer.
