WARFIELD'S ENEMIES
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE. June %. 1868.
The meeting of the democratic state CEN
trail committee, which is to be held next
Thursday in this city, is fraught with much
interest to the several aspirants for guber-
material honors. The principal subject to
engage the attention of the committee will
be the selection of a date for holding the
convention.
The date cannot be fixed earlier than
September, because the new law dividing
Baltimore into four legislative districts does
not go into effect until September l. and it
will not be possible for primaries to be held
in this city to select delegates to the state
convention and to nominate candidates for
the senate and house of delegates until af-
ter this law shall have become operative.
A Proposed Change.
Among other matters that will engage
the attention of the state committee is the
change proposed in the method of selecting
the chairman of the state committee That
ofncial IS now selected by the chairman Of
the state convention, and it is urged that
the system does not permit the discussion
OF the merits of men as campaign man
ayers. Hence, the suggestion has been
made that the naming of the chairman be
one OF the duties of the state committee.
Ihe aVowed aspirants for the democratic
nomination for governor are Mr. Edwin
Warfleld and Col Spencer c.. Jones' Both
these gentlemen have aroused the hostility
OF the organization forces. both city and
state and there is every indication that
dark horse, most probably John Hubner
OF Baltimore county, will have the support
OF the organization in the primaries 1t
was stated authoritatively today that the
leaders OF the city organization do not
want Mr.. Warfield, and it was also stated
that their opposition was so deep-rooted
that they will line up in September at the
primaries against him.

DAINTY AND SMALL FANS.
This Seasons Fashion Prescribes Six
Inch Size.

From the New York Sun.
The summer girl cannot this year carry
fan OF a size large enough to conceal
some OF the most striking evidences Of an
ardent Irritation. She is at disadvantage
not suffered by her sister Of few seasons
back whose fan was q ver.table sh cid
against sunlight. freight and the gaze OF
the curious as we'll as the promoter of
brisk little breeze.
The fan of today is a six-inch affair,
slightly larger in lace or paper. Fan shapes,
Of course are variations of the disks and
half moons to which We are accustomed.
but this seasons style takes the pretty
shape Of a SHE'LL often with scalloped edges
initiating the shell fiuting, with the idea
still further elaborated by outlines of tiny
silver or gold sequins upon white or black
chiffon. The shell-shaped fan is also to be
found in feathers of many kinds beauti-
fully shaped, and in gauze. silk and ivory.
adorned with ribbons or carved and tinted
flowers. In new combinations Of paper AMI
lace net these fans show dainty little Wat
teau pictures and figures. whose soft col
oring is thrown in high relief upon back
ground of black or white net. Still an
other and very beautiful variation, is
made of gauze, or lace net. outlined and
decorated with applidues of lace. such as
white Chantillyiupon black. and vice versa.
The introduction of sequin spangles lends
glitter to the Dainty things. Where Sc
quins are used cut steel is one of the most
fashionable sorts. ic
The variety of college fans in every tex
ture, from palm leaf, paper, gauze and
satin to feathers and solid ivory, bids fair
to make it unnecessary to cover the walls
in college dens swith anything else These
college fans are exceedingly pretty and
dainty, with their borders of rows of COL
lege ribbons and decorations of college
flags in painted satin and enamel, that thew
have been adopted for use by other than
college girls, and the use of such a fan by
no means indicates that young woman
has any especial reason to select that par
ticular college for her choice.

Children's Occupations.

From the London Chronicle.
Now that child labor is attracting at
tention we may note that 102 girls under
fourteen years are returned as actors and
thirtyfour boys; but the occupations which
have been adopted by some other preco-
cious little maidens show much greater
originality. 1t is rather startling to find
tiny girl Of ten acting general shop
keeper, while another only a year older is
returned as a pawnbroker. Ten little maids
ready engaged In the laundry and washing
service The cares OF business life have
begun at the same age for at least one
commercial clerk. and there are two girls
of eleven for whom school would seem a
filter place than the public house bar. in
which they serve. Another small precocity
has entered before her teens into the ranks
of the Scripture readers and ittnerant
preachers

Only last week a salesgirl in our mllli-
merry pariors. wh0uhas good executive abil-
ity, left for an Atlantic shore resort with a
stock OF ready-eo1wear hats provided by a
well-known wholesaler who found himself
rather overloaded when the season in town
was past.
A girl In our suit department with an
eye to the main7 chance has taken part of
our summer stock with couple of capa-
bic dressmakers, to another resort, and
will probably do well with her enterprise.
The girls who are going with her to sew
will have all they can do for dressmakers
are always in demand. They are planning
to take alternate days or evenings of. and
will no doubt have a pleasant as well as a
profitable summer.
There has never been such an oppor-
tunfty for the girl of ability to get ahead
Capital needs brains, and employers need
executive ability
Take Their Fancy.
Occasionally rich customers take a
fancy to clerks and give them summer
pleasures One of New York's wealthy wo-
men has several summer homes. and to one
of these she sent party of working girls
for two weeks last summer. with house
keeper as chaperon and an ample force OF
servants in attendance. One of our girls
was in the party and reported most delight
full treatment.
Girls who do office work secure out-of-
town poSltlonS as clerks or DOOKkeeperS LII
summer hotels. A girl who played In our
music department last winter, demonstrat-
ing the new popular music, will play for
the hops at a small seaside hotel this sum-
mer.
You will say that all these girls are
planning to work during the summer. That
may be true. but you must bear In nina
that girl who works all winter on pal
try salary cannot afford to lay OH many
weeks in summer. Women are philosophic
creatures after ALL and scheme to convert
change of work into vacation. The girl
who simply stands behind the counter
dreading the day when she will be laid on
is not the girl who lands summer Jop
The fortunate girl is the one that everlast-
ingly hustles, making friends among Gus
toners, employers and representatives or
the wholesale houses. who are always on
the lookout for an able young woman. A
summer job may lead to better position
with us in the fall. to independent busi-
ness career. backed by some wholesalers
who have the true gambling Instructor
to matrimOny.

Col. Jones Popular.

When Col. Jones announced his candi-
dacy it was hailed with qualification by the
organization democrats. and the indications
were for lively battle between Mr.. War
field and Col Jones. with the organization
forces lined up behind the MONTGOMERY
county aspirant.
Now this has all been changed because
of the declaration made last week by Col
Jones that in the event of his nomination
and election to the govefnorship he would
not do anything to advance the candidacy
Of Gov. Smith for the United States Senate
to succeed Senator McComas in the event
that the legislature is democratic on Joint
ballot
That Gov Smith is full-fedged candi-
date for the Senate goes without saying,
and In this aspiration he has the unquaii-
fled support of the local and state leaders
Therefore. 1t will be seen, that in order to
secure the support of the organization the
gubernat orial aspirant must be favorable
to the senatorial aspirations of Gov. Smith.
Split in the Ranks
In the republican camp the split in the
ranks over party control is even more pro-
nounced. All chance of harmony in the
party has disappeared, and now it is war
to the bitter end.
meeting will be held this week at which
the Union republican organization will be
perfected by Representative Wachter AM
Ills lOllOWinB. ne most SlSnlncant event
of the past week was the combination
formed by Representative Wachter and
former United States Marshal William r.
Airey
The hatchets which have been brandisheu
for many years by the two leaders were
buried at conference held at the Column
bian Club, and they win hereafter work
in unison to wrest the control of the reg
ular republican city organization from Col
lector of the Port William F. Stone
This combination will also act in harmony
with the Mudd-Lowndes-Gary-J com
bination in the state to encompass the de
feat Of Senator McComas for reelection "a
the United States Senate.
To Defeat McComas.
Unless former Gov. Lowndes decides to
enter the primaries for, the gubernatorial
nomination it now looks as though the
Wachterites will rally to the support of
Stevenson A. Williams Of Hartford county.
the organization candidate.
This clearly indicates that the anti-or-
ganization element have for their primary
object the defeat of Senator McComas and
the elimination of Collector Stone and
State Chairman Phillips Lee Goldsborough
from the party control. j. M. D.

Fear His Followers.

The city leaders state that they have no
personal opposition to Mr.. Warfield It is
the elements lining up behind him that
they fear. This fear of the men behind
Mr.. Warfield is that they will take posses
sion of the organization If Mr. Warfeld
should win the nomination.
Th1s can be accomplished in Baltimore
ana In the several counties by the election
OF delegates pledged to Mr. Warfields can
didacy. These delegates select the mem
bers of the state central committee for the
city and for the counties.
1t is plain. therefore, that it is possible
for the party machinery to pass over to
the control Of men who are inimical to the
present organization leaders and many Of
these men who are favoring Mr.. Warfield,
the leaders claim. are doing so not be-
cause of their devotion to Mr. Warheid
but because of their enmity for the organi-
ZatiGn leaders.

Police and Pistols.

From the New York SUM-
The shooting Of an innocent man by q
policeman chasing a fugitive shows that
the police are by no means as competent
in the handling OF firearms as they should
be. The policeman involved in the afhair
of Wednesday declares that the shot hred
was discharged by accident. but hts own
account shows that such an accident was
liable to happen whenever man whom he
wished to arrest tried to run away. The
demonstrations of police incompetency In
handling firearms have been frequent. and
often painful to innocent byetanders. The
department should investigate the satua-
ton Unless a policeman can be trusted to
handle firearms properly he II unfit for the
force.
