THE SENATE.

The next Senate of Maryland
will consist of twenty-seven
members, and to control that
body requires fourteen mem
bers.
One-half of the members are
elected every two years, and
consequentlyone-half are called
hold-over Senators. Owing to
the Encouragement of the legls-
latiye districts in Baltimore
City, made necessary by the
creation of an additional dis
trict, fifteen Senators are to be
elected this fall, four of them
in Baltimore.
Of the hold-over Senators
seven are Democrats and five
are Republicans. To control
the Senate, with its committees
and doorkeepers, clerks and
other officers, the Democrats
will have to elect seven and the
Republicans will need nine.
Of the seven the Democrats
will need, three will be elected
in Baltimore City, and they are
sure of electing their Senatorial
candidates in Howard, Queen
Anne's and Wicomico. The
other necessary Senator must
be chosen either in Baltimore
or Carroll county. One major
ity is a very narrow Margin;
too small for a successful carry
ing out Democratic pledges and
policies. 1t is very essential,
then, that the Democrats should
elect their Senatorial candidates
in both counties. fthe Demo-
Gratis elect both the next Senate
will consist of Is Democrats and
u Republicans. And this ma
iority of three will be narrow
enough. Mr.. Warfeld will be
powerless, unless he has a ma
iority Of both houses OF the
Legislature to sustain him, and
those who vote for Mr.. Warfield
and do not vote for a Legisla-
ture to aid him, will do him
an injustice. Without a ma
.iority in both houses of the
General Assembly, none OF his
pledges and policies can be
carried out, and his admins
tration would likely be a fail

The attention of persons who affect to be-
lieve the negro vote Is not menace TO goou
government is called to the fact that in Dor
chester county the white voters number 1887
and the colored 2, 1854, and in Charles county
the white voters number 1921 and the colored
1895. In Dorchester county less than one
third of the white voters, by combining with
the negroes, can control the county, and the
negroes being in the majority in the comblna-
ton would have to be given consideration.
In Charles county the negro voters outnumber
the whites by "a, and by standing together
can send negroes to the Legislature and
control every office in the county.

Show Your Appreciation.

''Every man who has vote ought to prize
it,
This is what Louis E. McComas said at Odd
Fellows Hall, in this city, last Tuesday night,
and he spoke words of truth.
Every man who has vote should show how
much he prizes it by voting against the return
of Mr.. McComas to the United States Senate.
He was conspicuous advocate of the Force
Bill. measure designed to place registration
and elections under the supervision OF partisan
Republican officials.
And the way to vote against Mr.. McComas
10 vote for the Democratic nominees for the
Senate and House of Delegates.
Show to Mr.. McComas you do prize your
vote.

The McComas-Stone Literary Bureau are
publishing extracts from S. Teackle Wallis on
the acts of the Legislature of 1886, when Hon.
Edwin Warfeld was President of the Senate.
Mr.. Walas was writing against several meas
ures before the Legislature of that year, and
he was particularly writing against Mr.. Cor
man and charging everything to his influence.
The Bureau, 10 be fair, should now repro
duce Mr.. Wallis retraction of everything he
said derogoratory of Mr.. German and his
high praise of that gentleman.

How desperate their plight must be is
evidenced by the fact that Mr.. Wachter,

ssENEWER GALLONS;
WEARS LONGER

The secret is out and Westminster
can 60 on living just as if the riddle
had never been asked.
No it can't, either. Westminster
is not going to be what it was before.
Its houses are going to be brighter;
its people little more prosperous
they are going to have some of their
money left to buy other things with.
The answer to the riddle is this :
you can paint building with fewer
gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc Paint
than with mixed paints, and it will
wear several times as long as build
ing painted with lead and oil mixed
by hand.
There's proof abundant of it all
over the United States. There will
soon be proof abundant of it in West
minister.
What will people do with the rest
of their money?

A story is told of an attempt made by
a Swedish missionary to obtain a foot
hold in Abyssinia. No sooner had he
begun to preach than he was brought
before King Menelek, who asked hin
why he had left his home in Scandi-
navia in order to come to Abyssinia.
The missionary promptly replied tn t
he had come to convert the Abyssinian
Jews. Are there no Jews in your
countryf" asked Menelek. The mis-
sionary admitted that there were a
few. And in all the countries that
you have passed through did you find
no Jews or heathens? ?" the king con-
tinued. Jews and heathens," the mis-
s1onary admitted. "are plentiful"
'Then," said Menelek, carry this man

return until he has converted all the
Jews and heather which lie between

Comets and Women.

The analogy between comets and wo-
men once formed the subject of the
following peroration from an evening
contemporary: Comets doubtless an
swer some wise and good purpose in
the creation; so do women. Comets
are incomprehensible, beautiful and &C.
centric; SO are women Comets shine
with peculiar splendor, but at night are
most brilliant; SO are women Comets
are enveloped with a lucid nebula
through which their forms are visible;
30 are those of women in their light
and elegant attire. Comets confound
the most learned when they attempt
to ascertain their nature; 80 do women
Comets equally excite the admiration
of the philosopher and Of the clod Of
the valley; 50 do women. Comets and
women are therefore closely analogous,
but, the nature of each being inscruta-
Bile, all that remains for US to do is to
view with admiration the one and to
love the other to Observation-Disclosures

But the President Will be One Who
Will Go Home to Vote.
Washington, d. c.. Oct. 31.-It is
customary on the Saturday proceed
ing election day for a large number
of department employees, amounting
sometimes to several thousands. to
leave Washington for their homes In
the various states in order to cast
their votes. This year, however, has
not Witnessed the customary exodus.
Inquiry at the headquarters Of the
national committees shows that tsw
are taking advantage Of the opportu-
nifty to revisit their homes at little
expense.
In nearly all Of the states the re-
suit of the election can be forecast
ed with certainty, and only in Ohio
is the situation believed to be sufi-
GENTLY close to act as an incentive
for the Buckeye employees to journey
home.
President Roosevelt believes 1t to
De the duty of a citizen to vote at
every election, and in consequence Of
this belief he will be one of the few
public officials who will go home to
vote. He has arranged to leave
Washington Monday night, on a spe-
cial train. SO as to arrive at Oyster
Bay in time TO vote early and be
back in the White House Tuesday
evening.

The Antiquity of In. Ballet.

Strictly defined, the ballet is properly
q theatrical exhibition of the art Of
dancing In its highest perfection, COM
plying generally with the rules Of the
drama as to it's composition and form.
1t was In existence in Italy as far back
as A. d. 1900, the court Of Turin in that
day making especial use Of 1t and the
royal family and mobiles taking part in
1t. The ballet was first introduced In
France In the reign of Louis Kill, and
both that monarch and Louis XIV. oc-
easionally took part in its dances.
In its earliest presentation the ballet
appeared d~exterously in combination
with the other theatrical; acts and Is
said to have completed the chaotic
medley exhibited in these spectacles,
which were at one NEUROLOGICAL. allie
gorical, fantastic, warlike and pasto-
raj" The reader will not be slow to
observe that its development in the
present day has not apparently lost
sight of these conditions.
About the year 100 women made
their first appearance In the ballet.
which up to that time had been per-
formed exclusively by men, as was the
case also with plays and operas, but ne
woman ballet dancer Of any note ap-
peared until 1890.

Ellison Carroll Returns.

Ellison Carroll has returned from
his roping tour to Albuquerque and
San Antonio. He was in with Joe
Gardner and Clay McGonigle, and
the three won $3.50 on the roping
contests which was divided and I'm
ounted to s9S3.33 1-3 for each one.
This was simply the prize money
and does not count the $500 MI.
Hearst paid for Mr.. McGonigle's rop-
ing horsec. The horse was given to
Mr.. McGonigle by Mr.. Carroll, and
he afterwards gave the horse to Mrs
Carroll and she received the $500.
Mrs. Carroll accompanied her hus-
band on the trip and returned to this
city with him. They were gone just
twenty days and he made about
81 400 in hat time.

MILEAGE FOR THE WEST.
New interchangeable Mileage
Qook

A New interchangeable Mileage
Book.
Chicago, Ill, Oct. 31.-Though sew.
eral roads have declined to give their
adherence to the plan it is probable
that the new 1000 interchangeable
mileage book will be put in opera
ton on the western railroads during
the coming week. A majority of the
principal lines have joined In the
plan and it is believed that the rest
will follow suit when it is put In
operation. The new book will prove
a great convenience to the traveller
as it will be good on all trains and
on all roads belonging to the mileage
bureau.
