REGISTRATION APPEALS.
In The Circuit Court-Interkst-
ing Cases.

Judge Revell heard 40 petitions in reg.
istration cases this morning filed by
Democrats and asking that the names OF
certain voters be stricken frem the list.
As the bulk of these cases were where
the voters had died or removed from An
napolis, the action of the Court was
agreed to by the attorneys representing
the Board of Supervisors of Election and
the Registration officers.
In 10 cases the Court heard testimony
and passed orders striking some names
from the list, and in some cases refusing
so to do. Eight petitions fled by the
Republicans the Court refused to kear
on the ground that the law required such
appeals to be fled in elections held in
counties on the Tuesday preceding the
election, and that as Annapolis was a
part of Anne Arunel county, that provis-
ion must be held to apply to the munich
pal election.
One important point was settled by the
Court on the question of the residence of
persons living on Jefferson street. Mr..
John w. Armiger. who has lately built
himself home there. applied for city
registration, but was refused on the
ground that his property was assessed for
taxes in the Second District and not in
Annapolis, and that he, Armiger, had re-
fused to take out a city building permit.
The Court held that the boundaries OF
the city as laid down in Sec: I, of the
Charter embraced Mr.. Armiger's house
and other residences upon Jefferson
street. Acting upon this decision the City
Council will have the right to assess for
taxes all the houses recently constructed
in that neighborhood. Such action of the
City Council viii cause CONSERVATION,
probably, among the residents of Jefer-
son street.

Camp Saunders is named in honor of
Major General John S. Saunders, adlu-
taas-general of Maryland. There is no
doubt that the camp at Belair will be a
model one; in fact, far ahead cf any
camp that has been held by the troops
OF the Maryland National Guard since
the first, which was at Hagerstown in the
summer Of 1887. The principal feature
OF this camp will be the presence OF three
officers OF high standing and command
OF the United States Army and two troops
Of the Uniied States cavalry. Governor

No young business man in Annapolis
is more popular than Mr.. Frank A.
Munroe. one OF the Republican nominees
for Alderman in the Second ward. Mr..
Munroe conducts one OF the best equipped
and well arranged stores in the CITY, and
has earned bis popularity from close at
tenlion to business, courteous treatment
of patrons and customers and conscien-
tious dealings with the public.
Frank A. Munroe is the SON of the
late James and Matilda X. Munroe. He
was born on February 25ih, 1866, in the
old family residence on Main street,
opposite where he now lives. He received
his first instruction at home, and was
not sent TO school until he was able TO
enter the preparatory department OF St.
Johns College, where his entire educa-
tion was received. He graduated from
the preparatory department. entered the
collegiate department Of ST. Johns Col
lege, from which he was graduated in
1885 with the degree OF A. B.
Mr.. Munroe, while at college, always
took great interest in athletic sports,
and was member of the first football
team, which he helped to organize. II
was Mr.. Munroe's object and purpose to
graduate in law, which he chose as pro-
iession. and to this end he attended the
University OF Mary land Law Department
in Baltimore. He had finished his FIRST
years course. when he was summoned
home by his fathers illness, which ne
cessitated the business being turned over
to Mr.. Frank A. Munroe. who conducted
it during his fathers illness, and to whom
il was turned over at his fathers death.
Mr.. Munroe has always voted the Re-
publican ticket. The only political Office
he has ever held was that of member
OF the Board of Supervisors OF Election,
TO which he was appointed in 1890, and
was made president Of the Board. He
declined a re-appointment, as he had
accomplished his purpose-.hat OF pure
elections and the appointment OF compe-
tent judges. Mr.. MunIos M one of the
Board OF Trustees OF the Annapolis High
School, and is president of the No.
Fire Company, Of this city. He was
former president OF the Business Mems
Association, and one of the directors OF
the Annapolis Savings Institution, and is
also one OF the directors OF the Annap
and Easlport Building Association.
Mr.. Munroe is large taxpayer and is
identified with the best interests Of the
CITY. being always keenly alive to its
progress and that which promotes its
welfare. He married Miss Margaret Hall,
daughter of the late Rev. David Hall,
rector OF the Episcopal Church a, Sykes
vile and Denton. II elected, Mr.. Mum
roe will serve his city well and faithfully.
His popularity as a business man, his
commercial standing, his honesty, in.
dustIy and honorable dealing, make him
a nominee whose election will be to the
city's best interests. fAdv.

Mr. Martin NJ. Smith was born in
Lieoenspin, Germany, in IS43. He came
to the United States in 1860 and located
in Washington, ID. c. In 1868 he came
to Annapolis in connection wnh the com
missaTy department of the Army, and at
the close OF the war he entered upon
duties connected with the Naval Acad-
emy.
Mr.. Smith so continued until 1860,
when he opened the old Schwers Bakery
on Main street, and remained there
until 1880, when he took possession OF
his present place of business. He has
led a most active life in the affairs of the
city and has contributed to its progress
and material welfare. perhaps more than
any other citizen among US. He is
president of the German Aid Society and
OF the Board OF Trustees OF the German
Lutheran Church. He served many years
as school trustee. He is director in the
Workingmen' Building and Loan Asso-
citation and was a director in the Annap.
oils Water Company. He conducts the
largest and most prosperous business
of It's kind in the city.
Mr.. Smith is thoroughly identified with
the business interests OF the city, and has
done much to develop and advance its
prosperity. He has been eminently sue
cessiul from a worldly standpoint; has
done much good to the community and
has added to its betterment in many
ways Mr.. Smith has been a firm be-
lever in the value OF Annapolis property
and has secured such an amount OF it
as makes him now the largest taxpayer
on the assessment books. This very fact
alone will bring him the support OF con-
servative taxpayers OF both parties. for, II
IS to their advantage TO place in Office a
man who Is largely interested in keeping
down the citys tax rate.
Mr.. Smith is a man of sound judg-
ment, OF practical knowledge and OF
large and conservative experience in
business. He has made success of his
own affairs. the true test OF worth. and
our voters may feel safe in giving him
their support on Monday next. Ifelected
be will bring TO the City Council the
same careful and sound ability that has
characterized the management OF his
own personal affairs. fadv.
