CORMAN AND MARYLAND


 Shreveport Time: German is '4t" in Maryland
 Mobile Herald: MT. German has earn ed the right to lead the congregation in singing that good old tune Maryland. My Maryland"
 Jackson (Niss) Clarion-Ledger: The claim that "Gorman has 'em on the hip" appears to have been true. It Is also true that while he had em there Tammany smote em.
 Columbus (Ga) Ledger: MT. German was largely instrumental in securing the democratic victory in Maryland, without question. He is one of the smartest lead CTS in the party.
 Memphis News: Roosevelt took an ac- tive part in the Maryland campaign, but he did not interfere in the Ohio situation. And the varying results of his interfer- ence and his non-interference are not es pecially gratifying to his vanity.
 Nashville News What has "the only man in the democratic party got to say about Germans victory in Maryland, and McClellans in New York? "The only man" and his friends will realize before the thing is over that there are others. The Savannah News: The President wanted vindicaton of his race policy from the people of Maryland. In an effort to secure 1t, and thus have a southern state say he was right he took especial interest in the Maryland campaign. It is to be hoped that the "vindication" he got at the polls on Tuesday is pleasing to him.
 Raleigh (N. O News and Observer: When Mir Mudd took the Maryland elec- tion returns to the White House, the President doubtless felt that the bearer of such doleful news was we'll named MT. Roosevelt personally directed the Mary land campaign and was in frequent con- ference with the leaders of his party. The result Is a rebuke to his bossism and his social equality ideas
 Montgomery Journal: The significance of the result of the fight in Maryland, where German assailed the Presidents s negro policy, has probably not dawned upon the President He is reported to have expressed qualification over the re- suit of the elections, particularly that in Ohio, where Hanna has achieved a great victory But those who know things know that that victory is due to Hanna, not to Roosevelt and that if Roosevelt could have had his way, Hanna would have got in by a scratch if at all. That is really the bitterest pill the President has to swallow unless it be the way German shook the trees for Roosevelt worshippers in Maryland.

NEW SUNDAY FEATURES.


Next SUNDAY The Herald viii offer
~ TO its ever-growing family OF read
ere the first Of a series Of carefully
prepared and handsomely Illustrated
articles on "The Worlds Autocrats."
These sketches describe the few sur
viviuB absolute monarchs on this old
earth OF ours. ana they are written by
mon who know their subject well. They
describe small group Of strong men
now liylng who govern countries ex-
7cuy as they choose. Each is a power
ful and interesting personality and an
absolute ruler over his people in prac-
tce 80 not always In theory.
Some or the kings are Of barbarOus
states. such as Afghanistar; others are
oictators of countries supposedly demo-
cralir like Mexico and Venezuela. The
common ink between them is that
though some OF them lack royal titles
they al are real monarchs ia the old
fashioned sense OF tine word.
AN tho stories are written by men
WHO have Intimate personal knowledge
OF rheir subjects and can ten something
new. They draw a vivid picture Of
each ruler without q surplus of duly
put biographical or political details.
showing what manner of man he is.
how he made himself an autocrat, how
he maintains his power, and how he
rules his people. Each article contains
a wealth OF new and striking anecdotes
illustrating these points, and is fun of
strong human interest
Next Sundays sketch VIII be Of Habi-
builah. The Beloved Of God" Habi-
buiiah Khan, ameer Of Afghanistan. Is
the most progressive Of the absolute
rulers of Asia. This story Of his life
and personality is based upon an &C.
count given to the writer by DR.. Alfred
Gray. an Englishman who spent eight
years m Afghanistan as court physi-
clan TO the late ameer. and knew Habi-
bullah intimately. Thrilling stories are
told of Habibullah's courage In battle,

Cial features, there viii also De the

Feeling Running High.


Barranquilla, Nov. 17.-Trouble is ex-
pected here hourly, as usual. When
General Torres and his army disem-
barlzed from their skiff the other night
they were threatened with arrest rs
Migrants. Some OF the more exCitable
of the populace favored calling them
traitors and paraded the streets crying
Down with the Americans," with APP
parent disregard Of the claims OF the
BarranQUilla digestive apparatus TO
better treatment. The United states
consul. fearing violence, closed his
screen door and hung out a scarlet
fever flax ...
The Barranquilla authorities had in
tended sending heavy relutorcements to
Cartagena, but later decided to keep
the reinforcements at home. The rein
forcements accordingly returned TO his
bed in the barn. General Torres
brought with him the remains of two
ham and egg sandwiches wrapped in a
newspaper. The project seized this pa

Lies Of Neighboring States.

FALSEHOOD THE THIRTEENTH
THAT story of the three Indians who
hanged themselves reminds me OF an
other Indian story" said the Montana
man. 1T happened only a few years
ago in the eastern part of my state and
should not be printed as a Lie of
NeighbOring States because II is alb
solutely true by the record. These In
dams were not afflicted b. any burden
some sense of honor but turned out
to be a pretty sharp pair. They were
convicted of numbering a sheepherder
who had caught them in the act Of
slaughtering some cattle of the reser-
walton. They were surrendered by the
Indian agent after considerable dicker-
ment Their tribe put up a piece Of
money and retained two Of the best
lawyers in the county to defend them.
They fought the case bitterly. but IT,
was a clear murder and both were
convicted, one being sentenced to death
and the other to life Imprisonment.
They were both confined in the county
Jail. The night before the execution
they asked the jailer for tin pan, say
ing they wished to make a little music
as one of them was to die so soon.
There were no other prisoners in the
Jail, so the kind-hearted jailer rustled
up tin pan and gave it TO them. They
at once started a series of weird incan-
tatiohs and dances. The jailer watched
them for a while and then returned to
his Office. All night long he heard the
tin pan going. Occasionally he looked
in on them to see one Of them beating
the pan while the other danced. Fig
UriEg that it was the last night on earth
for one of them, he did not disturb
them. bNt let them have all the fun
they wanted. When he opened up the
cell the next morning he found one In
dian, the fellow with the life sentence,
still bumped up in a corner beating the
pan. A bundle on the bed proved not
to contain the other Indian. but a hole
In the wall showed how ne got out
Those foxy bucks had bunkOed that
jailer to a fare-ye-wel. While one dug
out the stone and bricks the other kept
pounding on the pan to cover the noise.
and after the aperture had been COM
pleted the condemned buck had slipped
out while the other remained to keep
UP the racket The fellow who got out
has never been recaptured, but the one
who remained is I'm the Montana Deni-
tertiary today. Efforts are now being
made to have him pardoned, as he has
developed consumption as a result Of
his confinement. Yes, as my friend from
Arizona says. Indians are funny crit
ters. but some Of them are not so stupid
as they look"
