Some Foolish Wives.

This statement Is automatic Yet there
 are some women foolish enough to supp
 pose that the names wife and mother are
 not Siamese twins and have no connec-
 ton or aftiliation. They are so blinded
 that they cannot see that the silver let
 ters of true motherhood are written upon
 the golden background of true wifehood
 and that the strongest and best cradle is
 that cut from the scented wood of the
 marriage altar. The duties of maternity
 must never supersede or extinguish the
 duties of the wife. There are many wom-
 en who are true wives until the babies are born. Then, Instead of being any lon

 helpmeet of the man whom they prom | ised on the wedding dap to live for they turn their backs upon their husbands and | bury their existence in the nursery From | morning until night and night until morn | ing those engrossed and absorbed moth- CTS think and dream and plan about noth- | ing but the one theme of baby No mat ter where they are, with whom they are talking or what subject of conversation

 They will tell you over and over again
 how many teeth their babies have cur and when those teeth came, but they can not tell you about the sharp, poisonous fangs of business worries that have AntHlstlNeS Tn tnelr husbands brains and heart. Neither do they care
 how sharp those fangs may be- They can tell you, without one mistake, how many times last night their babies coughed,

The true mother goes forth in life and sees the miseries and sufferings and the troubles which are everywhere self evil dent. Her heart bieding with sympathy. she returns home and begins to plan how she can help the poor When her children would destroy their old clothes she turns and says: Daughter that is a sinful waste That dress may not be useful to you. but It may clothe some little girl and keep her warm all winter.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

A large audience, composed of Bir- minghams most representative people, was assembled at the Jefferson theater last night to witness an incomparable production of Shakespeare's "The Tam ing of the Shrew.p Otis Skinner played Petruchio and Ada Rehan was Katherine. Honors were equally divided between the two great stars, so that 1t was hard to decide which deserved the greater part of the applause that was so enthusiastic ally given. While Petruchio moved and breathed in Otis Skinner, Miss Rehans s portrayal of the shrew was character ized by all the art that has made her famous, The thrilling tones of her voice. the majestica sweep of her train, her magnetism and her dramatic power swayed the audience. Miss Rehan's act ing is marked by that strong, masculine touch which is often so effective in a woman. There Is nothing soft or fem mine about her stage presence She re- minds one of those women who have stood erect against the buffeting of fate with disdain on their faces and unbowed head.
 Although a little more vivacity would not have been out of place, this mascu- line quality of Miss Rehan stood her in good stead as Katherine, and she learned the lesson of obedience from Pe- truchio with admirable fidelity to the original
 MT. Skinner soon won the audience with his interpretation of the roistering cavalier. It was the first time he has appeared in Birmingham in this part and he added another triumph to his sue cesses in the past. All the dash and swagger of Shakespeare's Petruchio were faithfully reproduced.

VICTORY IN MARYLAND.
Returns Show Handsome Gains for the
 Democrats.

Baltimore. November 4.-At midnight the returns of Tuesdays election from Baltimore city and the state of Maryland had not all been received. Two missing precincts in the city had been counted by the election judges, but owing to the long vigil of the clerical force in the office of the supervisors of election, 1t was decided to close the office. The figures of the missing precincts are promised tomorrow morning. They will not materially change the result
 In Baltimore city the entire democratic plurality. The democrats elected in Baltimore city three state senators and eighteen members of the house of dele- gates by large majorities. The republi- cans elected one state senator and six members of the lower house William II. Green, republican, is apparently elected sheriff of the city by a plurality of between 100 and 200.
 The returns from all the counties of the state have not been received but enough reports are in hand to assure an overwhelming democratic majority on joint ballot in the general assembly which Senator Louis E. McComas. From re- turns received at this hour 1t is conceded that the democrats will have on joint ballot eighty-two votes in the general assembly, to forty-one republicans General Warfield's plurality in the state will probably reach 5000.

Six Men Killed and Ten Are
 Slightly Injured
THE SHOCK WAS TERRIFIC
Windows Broken Three Miles Away and Massive Shell Houses De- stroyed-Marines Fight the
 Flames in Grea. Danger.

Ionia Island, N. r., November 4-Six men were killed and ten slightly injured this afternoon by an explosion at the United States naval arsenal, one of the largest magazines in the country.
 The explosion occurred while men were drawing their explosive charges from a consignment of old shells recently sent here from the battleship Massachusetts. Three massive shell houses were com pletely destroyed and rain of fragments of projectiles of ali sizes was scattered in every direction.
 The force of the explosion, or series of explosions, broke windows at Peekskill, three miles below on the opposite side of the Hudson, and the detonation was heard for many miles. Adjacent build ings, including two store houses for fixed ammunition, were riddled with the fragments and the quarters of the eleven marines composing the garrison were completely demolished.
 The dead, all of whom were workmen employed by the naval ordnance depart ment, are:
 Fred Ward, Stoney Point.
 George Moorhead, Tompkins Cove.
 Fred o. Locke, Peekskill.
 Patrick Curran, West Haverstraw.
 Fred Brow, Haverstraw.
 James Connolly, Peekskill.
 The bodies were frightfully mangled, fragments being hurled for hundreds of feet
