The Sentinel of That City Pays the Gentle
man Deserved Compliment,
Mr.. Henry Weber, the well known
florist of Oakland, whose magnificent
productions in the floral line are fam
iliar to every lover of the beautiful
from Maine to California, is in the
city to-day on business and shaking
hands with his many friends. Mr..
Weber's premises are located about
half way between Oakland and Mt.
Lake Park and are familiar to many
of our people who have visited them
during the summer season. The firm
of H. Weber & Sons have several
acres covered with glass and they
ship out annually to many of the b ig
cities car load after car load of cut
flowers of every description. This
firm has taken many of the first medals
offered by flower shows in New York
state and city, Illinois, Minnesota,
California, and have on display at
their office at Floral Prrk a case of
medals that are very valuable and
that are also quite attractive to the
eye of visitorr. This firm completes
with other large firms of this kind
throughout the United States and
has become famous for the beauty
and magnificence of the carnations it
has grown. The latest production of
the Webers is the Lloyd Lowndes
Carnation, magnificent flower of
pure white, which has already taken
the first prize at leading exhibits.
and which is the admiration of all be-
holders, wherever it has been placed
on display. Mr.. Weber has quite a
large family, all popular young ladies
and gentlemen, and every one of
whom are devoted to their fathers
profession and who give him inestim-
able aid in the growth and pro-
duction of rare flowers and decora-
tive greenery. A trip to Floral Park
will pay any one, when in that Sec
ton, as visit through the extensive
hot houses is revelation in itself

bosses make up their minds to steal
the State this fall, as they did then,
the law will be violated with impuni-
ty. The law was sufficient, such as it
was, two years ago to inform an hon
est man that it was not fair, honest or
legal, to spring trick Chinese puzzle
ballots on the voters. but enough were
used, nevertheless, to make the State
safely Democratic
There have been few instances in
the histoary of Maryland when it has
been as imperative to elect Republi-
can Governor, as it is that fall.
The election law is being tempered
with at each successive Legislative
session by the Democratic Ring and
every effort is being made by them to
place the State where it was prior to
the fair election; law passed by the Re-
publicans in 1896. Prior to the passage
of that law, no matter who aspired, no
matter how you voted, Ring bench
man was elected. Well do we remem-
Der how every newspaper in Balti'
more denounced the methods employ
ed by the old Ring for the purpose of
carrying elections in that city. Even
the Baltimore Sun, the Democratic
organ, had to acknowledge that the
frauds practiced in Baltimore by the
Rasin Ring prior to the Act of 1896,
were most glazing. Now, this same
party is gradually taking us back to
their old methods by making slight
changes in the election law each year
in order that they can get in their
work. Governor Smith, true Ring
ster, went so far as to call an extra
session of Democratic Legislature in
1901, to change the law so that the
glazing and outrageous frauds which
were accomplished in the lower coun-
ties of this State might be made posi-
BILE. 1t is impossible to warn you at
this time of what might be attempted
by the same Ring this fall, but we
may rest assured that fraud will be in
evidence, from the simple fact that
the Democrats positively refused to
return to and reenact the Republican
election law which was acknowledged
by all, press and public, to be fair and
just. and to have practically prevent
ed fraud in elections. The time is now
at hand for all fair mind voters to call
halt on this scheme to turn us over
body and soul to the Ring, and if that
halt is not called this fall no oppor-
tunity will be presented for four more
years; for if Democratic Governor is
elected he can block legislation for
that time even if a Republican Legisla-
ture should be elected during that
period. Remember the extra session
when you go to vote.

Torn Stamps Not Good

The Postoffice Department has I'M
der preparation a small book, to be is
sued to patrons Of the postoffices
throughout the country, which will
contain great amount of information
regarding the business of the post
office which is not generally known.
The book will be, in q ID easure, a
book of instruction as to how to trans
act business with the postoffice. One
of the things to be treated will be the
use of mutilated stamps on letters.
1t is not generally known to users of
postage stamps that torn or defaced
stamp cannot be used. Persons who
have torn stamps in their possession
have been in the habit of FASTING the
two pieces together and thus placing
it on a letter. This is prohibited in
the postal regulations, and the per-
son who use, such stamp runs the
risk of not having his or her letter de-
livered. Sometimes the stamps are SO
well repaired that thei tear escapes
detection, but should the rent in the
stamp be found by the postal officials
it is of no value. The book will also
contain information regarding the
registry and money order system.

The President has determined upon
a quiet, but thorough reorganization
of the government departments and
to that end has called upon five of the
younger heads of bureaus Mr.. Roose-

War Department, Admiral Francis T.
Bowles, representing the Navy Dep
artment, Clifford Pinchot, represent
ing the Agricultural Department

saving in time and money and the
duplication of work will be effected as
a result of the report of this com

COMMANDER BROWN IN WASHINGTON.
Newspaper Man at the National Capital
Hunts Him Up and Writes
of His Feats.

Hunts Him Up and Writes
of His Feats.
The following is from the Washing
ton Times;
Commander r. NJ q. Brown, the
hero of the Samoan disaster, is in
Washington for a few days visit. He
is registered at the Shoreham and
spent part of today calling upon his
friends at the Navy Department.
The commander since his retire
ment, five years ago, makes his home
in Morgantown W. Va, where he was
born and lived until he entered the
United States Navy. He is a warm
friend of Rear Admiral Schley and has
campaigned in foreign waters most of
the time he was in the service. For
gallantry in commanding his men at
the time of the Samoan disaster, he
was entertained by President Har-
rison and personally commended both
by the President and Secretary of the
Navy.
AT that time, Commander Brown
was in command Of the Trenton which
with the Vandalla and German and
English warships, was caught in the
storm which wrecked two of the Ger
man vessels and one English boat.
Although every boat dragged anchor
they were blown about like tubs and
for time the destruction of every
vessel in the harbor seemed imminent.
In all the storm and turmoil, Com
mander Brown managed to remain
calm and cheerful and succeeded in
imbuing his crew with something of
his own spirit. By cheerful maneu
vers, the Trenton was saved and the
men aboard the vessel did much to
save the lives of many men on board
the vessels which were wrecked.
When a report of the disaster was re-
ceived by the Secretary of the Navy
and forwarded to President Harrison,
a cablegram of congratulations was
sent to Commander Brown and his
men.
Commander Browns physical condi-
ton becoming impaired by reasons of
the hardships he had undergone, he
was compelled to ask that he be reliev-
ed. The President insisted he should
come to Washington at once and be
his personal guest while relating the
details of the disaster. Comman-
dei Brown did so, and Congress at it's
next session will appropriately recog-
nize his meritorious service.
When seen by a Times reporter at
the Shoreham this morning the COM
mander declined to discuss the details
of his feat at that time, but said: 81
came to Washington to visit my rela-
tiyes and to call upon my friends in
the navy. There is no significance in
my visit, and | will return home as
soon as | can. My health has been in
such condition have had no oppor-
tunity to familarize myself with re-
cent changes in the navy, and there
fore cannot discuss them even if l
were permitted"

BRUMBAUGH BANKRUPT.

Miss Keim Can Not Get Breach of Promise
Money.
The breach of promise suit won by
Cora A. Keim, of Elk Lick, Somerset
county, against i. Harvey Brum-
baugh, was supposed to have been
settled last fall. 1t will be remembered
that the verdict of SO, $50 was, at sub
sequent hearing for new trial, reduced
to $4,000, which was accepted by the
plaintiff. There being no voluntary
payment of the $4,000 judgment, an
attachment execution was issued
against the defendant, a levy was
taken on his household goods and any
interests he may have elsewhere were
attached. In the meantime Prof
Brumbaughss was adjudged a bank
rupt, but efforts in the legal courts to
have the writ of execution stayed by
reason of this were fruitless. So also
was the attempt of Sheriff Port to
make an appraisement of the defend
ants personal effects, as the officer
was unable to gain admittance to the
house. A hurried petition to the
United States court at Scranton
brought favorable response to the
professor, as temporary injunction
was granted, returnable Tuesday next
restraining the sheriff from proceed
ing further in the matter of action on
the writ of execution.

REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY.

1t may be well for the Republicans
of this State to grid up their loins and
buckle on their armor early in the sea-
son this year for the purpose of circum-
venting any trick ballot that might be
sprung on them by the majority of
the election supervisors, as occurred in
many of the counties two years ago.
A slight change has been made in the
law, but that will make no difference
to the Democratic Ring, and if the

WHAT CAUSES PROSPERITY.

Our Democratic friends are always
ready to proclaim that the Repub-
lican party has nothing to do with the
unprecedented era of prosperity now
prevailing throughout the country.
No one claims that this policy has
caused the rain or sunshine but it has
supplied and protected the market
open to the things the rain and the
sunshine have brought forth. Ma
ture has given the land, and with all
it's latest possibilities, but the land
would be going to waste if there were
no marts for that which it yields. In
dustry has been stimulated from the
certainty that its efforts would not be
for naught. A glance back at the aw-
full times of the early nineties when
the Democrats were in power will re-
call to mind that then the acres were
as fruitful, and the hand of toll as
calloused by honest endeayor. There
was the rain and the sunshine. Har-
vest followed seed time. Yet the looms
were silent because none had the
means to purchase. Together the
crops was futile, for none could buy.
The country was poor because of the
artificial and unwholesome financial
atmosphere, and this atmosphere
was the expression of Democratic
faith put into works which brought
want and ruin to thousands upon
thousands.

tiers of Moment and the Condition
of the Cemetery.
To the Editor of The Republican.
The season of the year has arrived
for getting rid Of the winters accumu-
lation of trash generally and of tidy
ing up and beautifying ones prem
ises and surroundings. This is com
mendable from both an aesthetic and
hygienic point of view. There are
many places, however, that seem to
be forgotten or overlooked or else in
the hurry and rush that character
ICES everything nowadays no time is
given to things that can wait Among
several l mention particularly the
Protestant cemetery of our town. A
recent visit thereto is my apology (if
any is needed) for this communica-
ton. With its beautiful location and
natural advantages it should be a
place pleasant to look upon and an
ornament to the town. On the con-
trary one hesitates little if asked by
a stranger to be shown the cemetery.
Neglected and untidy looking always,
it is now forlorn from a fire which has
lately burned over at least two-thirds
of the enclosure, damaging and dis
coloring monuments and running
trees, grass and shrubbery. Then the
entrance-a little narrow, sickly. tum-

which had been for long time neg

they organized a society, solicited

everyone is encouraged to help keep
up the good work.
