Offices within the gilt OF his party, and
has always discharged his duties faith
fully and impartially, never allowing his
political proclivities to get the better Of

deprivation Of his sight was the greatest

one of the greatest blessing to mankind,
that Of reading, which he enjoyed.

THE JAIL A DISGRACE
IT IS A BLEMISH TO THE CAPITAL
OF THE STATE.
So Says The Report of The
President of Prisoners
Aid Association.

Mr.. G. s. Griffith. president of the
Maryland Prisoners Aid A Citation, and
Rev. VILLAIN {. Stoudenmire. genera
agent. have just returned to Balllmorc
from visiting the jail in this city al q
almshouse in AnIe Arundel county. and
make the following report:
The Jail a, Annapolis contains seven
prisoneTs-one white mail and SIX colored
males. The white prisoner is charged
with assault to kill; the rest are held OH
petty charges. The jail is in good sanitary
condition and is well kept by the sheriff,
Mr.. George T. Beasley, and the warden,
MIR. Robert H. Thomas. There has been
no improvement made during the past
year, except painting and whItewashing
"Religious services are regularly he Id
by Rev. McComas, rector of ST. Anne S
P. E. Church; Mr.. Robt. Welcb, Mrs.
K. Worthington. Mrs. Wilmington and
Mrs. Gage. This Jail Is a blemish and a
disgrace to the capital Of our state, hence
we took occasion to get the sentiment OF
some OF the prominent people OF Annap-
oils regarding new Jail. Among the
large number cal ed upon are the follow
ing: Judge James Revell. Judge Daniel
X. MagrudeT, Attorney Ehhu 5. Riley
and Mr.. George A. Culver, cashier oil
the Farmers National Bank. Annapolis
"They all heartily indorsed the move
ment for the building OF new Jail. One
of the county commissioners. being in
teTviewed. declared that this matter could
not be put of any longer, saying that il
was shame to have such IAN within a
stones throw OF the Capitol, especially
now as the state is expending a large
amount of money in building new addi-
tion TO the Capitol. This building is
nearly two hundred and fifty years old,
and has to be held together by iron
girders running through the building.
"But for this device il would doubtless
have collapsed long ago, and the warden
is in jeopardy daily, as he said il may
fall any day. This is only a repetition
Of the official recommendation urged by
the MaTyland Prisoners Aid Association
annually. Now that the people Of An
napolis ard the county are becoming SO
greatly interested in this matter il is
hoped that new jail will. in the near
future, be the result.
The Anne Arundel county almshouse
is located about six miles fiom Annapolis
on a bluff OF the river. II contained
twenty inmates--tour white mates, FIVE
white females. six colored males and FIVE
colored females. This institution is onl,
an fair condition, sanitary and otherwise.
as the antiquity of the buildings and the
iack OF modern sanitary appliances make
II impossible for better results. The SUI
perinlendent, Mr.. Oliver Perry. and his
wife, the matron, are doing the best they
can for the comfort and cheer Of the ageo
and infrm people under their care.
81, seems important that an assistant
should be given them for the coIored de-
Panment. Religious strvices ore regu-
larly held for the inmates every two
weeks. alternately by Rev. Mr.. Moore,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and
Rev. Mr.. Shears, OF the Methodist Prot
eslant Church"

Music On The Spa.

Every evening the strollers over TO

bridge are treated TO free concert, which
is much enjoyed. A number Of sailors,
marines or citizens gather in small boats
under or near the bridge and sing to
banjo, violin or guitar accompaniment.
Some boating parties are provided with
gTaphaphone and the effect OF the music
on the beautiful Spa creek is very pleas

breez.s on the bridge. The Eastpou
promenade and spa creek bridge have
become very popular. as well as the creek,
which is nightly dotted with small boats

COUNCIL CAUCUS NOMINEES
Mayor Jones Anxious To Elect
City Treasurer - Will
Vote For Good ~
Democrat. -

The deadlock in the City Council will
so remain so far as his honor, Samuel
Jones. the republican mayor, is con-
cerned, unless the democrats give him a
chance to vote tor good democrat as
collector and treasurer.
Mayor Jones says that at the last meet.
ing of the City Council he had deter
mined to vote with the democrats for CITY
treasurer in order that the deadlock might
be broken and city business transacted.
After voting for other officers the Board
refused to take vote for city treasurer.
The mayor called for a yea and nay vote
on this motion, which stood 4 to4.
Mayor Jones thinks the democrats had
an idea OF his intention, at least he was
not given an opportunity to break the
deadlock. He further stated that he had
carefully considered the matter OF swear
ing in the officers whom the City Coun-
selor had declared elected. Although the
officers had not applied to him TO be
sworn in, he said he would refuse to do
so il they did make such application.
Mayor Jones said he would not call
another special meeting of the Council
unless there was some agreement that
the of6cers should be elected. The fol-
lowing are the caucus nominees which
failed OF election at the last meeting on
tie vote: City Clerk, Louis S. Clayton; !;
Collector and Treasurer, Jerry L. Smith; I;
