Drowned at Ocean cltv.

The details of a sad drowning
accident were given in the papers
of Friday last, as the result of a
friendly swimming contest by five
young ladies at Ocean City. The
young lady who lost her life was
known in Elkton, where her
father for number of years was
the pastor of Elkton Presbyterian
church. She was the wife of j.
Burton Muslin, of Germantown, for
merly Miss Edith Herberton, daugh
ter of Rev. William Herberton,
of Wayne, a member of the Pres
byterian Board of Publication.
Mrs. Muslin had been spending
the summer at Ocean City with
friends. Considerable rivalry ex-
listed as to which of the ladies
was the best swimmer and match
was arranged between five of them,
during which Mrs. Muslin was
caught by the strong undertow and
drowned before assistance could
reach her. She was 26 years of
age. The body was recovered Mon
day night at Avalon Beach, twenty
miles south of the scene of the
drowning.

For Comptroller-Lemuel E. P. Den

For Attorney General-George White

The platform adopted, and upon which
the campaign this fall will be made, con.

One of Baitimore's dailies, in sum
ming up the platform adopted by the
republicans at their State convention, last
week, puts it in this wise
Like the democrats, The republicans
in their platform took credit for the few
good things that have been accomplished
by politicians, and blamed the other side
for all the evil in the world; called the
'demmies' conspirators, tricksters, de-
frauders, oppressors, etc. Lauded the
negroes and promised to give them more
political power, said nice things about
themselves, reiterated the oft-repeated
promises of reform in the election laws,
the primary laws and the oyster laws,
pledging themselves to again restore the
oyster to its old pedestal beside the dollar;
promised to put down lobbying and stop
the diversion of state revenues into pri-
vate pockets, and told about the roads
they would build, the improvements they
would make to the public school system
and the sewers they would build in Balt;-
more city. The makers of the platform
did not forget Roosevelt, his bouquet
resting on separate plank"

A Promising Joshua.
Communicated.


The new aspirant to houors, as leader
of the people against all the enemies OF
law in Cecil county, is we'll equipped for
the duties of District Attorney, in his own
estimation, and has only to turn his cheek
to the foe to be inyulnerable.
He trusts to the convenient memories
of the people to forget all his past acts
and record in a position where he at
tempted to sell out the interests of the
whole community, in exchange for the
political support that he had received.
He had the impudence to attend a
meeting of the Anti Saloon League in
Elkton last week, and make speech to
conciliate them, and give fresh lot OF
promises as to what he will do if we will
only pardon his offences against public
order and decency.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1903-09-25

So diverse have been the reports of the
fortunes of the Panama Canal treaty that
now no conservative correspondent dares
make prediction as to its future, but it
is interesting to note that there are some
indications that it has taken new lease
of life. Several reports have been receiv-
ed recently at the State Department re-
garding the status of the treaty and these
have not been made public, but it has
leaked out that officials of the Depart
ment have some reason for believing that
the extravagant demands which have
been made by Colombian statesmen were
not put forth in earnest, but rather with
view to financially receding from their
position with view to securing minor
concessions, which they appear to really
regard as imperative. 1t is intimated
that these minor demands might be
granted without jeopardiziug the future
of the treaty, although it is appreciated
that in view OF the influence and opposi-
ton of the transcontinenta1 railroads it
would be exceedingly difficult to secure
its ratification by the United States Sen
ate, even with slight and comparatively
lnconsequential changes.
