Caracas, Jan. IA high official OF
The Venezuelan government said to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press during the day:
Il am greatly surprised at the press
cablegram saying that Importance has
been given to the last of the several
propositions contained In President
Castro's answer to the powers in the
matter of referring the Venezuelan
difficulty to the arbitration Of The
Hague tribunal. This proposition was
intended simply as a compliment to
President Roosevelt as chief executive
Of the greatest of the American repub-
lies; it's suggestion that the question
be left to the arbitration of an Amer
lean republic was only a compliment
larry alternative"
President Castro Is elated over the
capture by his troops Of all the am
munition destined for the Matos revo-
Mtionists which, it Is alleged in GER

Permitted to reach the Venezuelan

RAILWAYS.

st. Paul, Jan. THE first serious
turn in the negotiations between the
railway managers and the committees
representing the trainmen of the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
Great Western occurred during the
day.
Three of the roads offered to COM
promise with the men, but the latter
have SO far declined to do SO. In fact,
their chairmen declare that they have
no authority to compromise, and so
informed the railway managers. They
may reconsider their position and &C
cept the terms offered, but SO far there
is no indication of their doing so.

A VERY ENJOYABLE TIME.

Friday afternoon the beautiful
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. DozieI
was thrown one for the first time
when, from d &C, Aloney Dozier, Jr.
little man of years, received his
friends assisted by his pretty little
sister, Irene. Marching and singing
and playing games amused the little
tots until the grand march to the
dining rom. Here was a lovely scene
. The table was decorated in crystal
and silver, while the center was a
large birthday cake with six candles
burning brightly on it--One for each
year of the little hosts life.
Master Aloney then chose five little
girls to assist him in blowing out the
candles. They were Misses Margaret
Stevenson, Dora Ross, Madeline
Smith, Marie Temple and Jennie May
Anderson. Mrs. DoZier's sisters,
Misses Marie and Blanche Korndoffer
and Miss May Dozier assisted her in
serving the refreshments. The pop
ularity of this little fellow was shown
by the number of pretty presents he
received
Altogether the Dozier residence
never shown to more advantage than
it did Frsday afternoon, with
these little future men and women of
Hattiesburg in their dainty costumes,
running merrily in and out the long
French windows. on the broad veran-
das and playing with the dear like
donkeys' on the grounds.
At 80 the house was brilliantly
illuminated and the ''big folks were
entertained at a reception and house
warming. The light from the din
ing room chandeliers fell on table
daintily and elegantly arrayed with
decorations of pink candles. During
the evening Miss Mary Korndoffer
playded the Holy City," accompa-
MED by Mr.. Edgar Korndoffer on the
violin. There was sextette singing
of coon songs and ballads by the
Misses Allen, Messrs. Batson, NJ. Jay
Epley and Jack Hilbilt were ap-
pointed q committee to congratulate
Mr.. and Mrs. Dozier in this unique,
delightful housewarming, which they
did most appropriately and gracefully
for this genial gentleman and his
charming wife are great favorites
with the young folks.

A feature of the new primary cleo
tion law now being discussed is the
necessity for holding a second pri-
mary where more than two candidates
are in the field and neither receives
a majority at the first primary. The
contention is being set up that a sec
ond p. imary can be held only where a
majority of the candidates for an
office favor it, in other words, that
an agreement can be made that a
plurality vote shall be equivalent to
election. 1t is not likely, however,
that the latter plan will be attempted
in any county, as the belief is univer-
sal in the PRINCIPLES of democracy
that the majority should win, and
Mississippi's experience with plural
ity during the last presidential cleo
ton was quite a surfeit for the advo-
Gates of the plan.

Itemizer writes a private letter to

wholesome advice, after calling him
some soothing names. Here is clip
ping from his letter: Dear Ted !:
The people down here have got it in
for you. They say you are chump,
and call you the baby president, be-
cause you get mad, and pout, and act
rude. 1t is positively undignified to
let your temper flash up when you
are acting as president Of the United
States, and you have acted very
strange and foolish in the Indianola
affair. Ted, you need true friend and
patriot to assist you in soaking your
head for while reduce the swell
ing of conceit. Allow me TO offer my
kindly services in this behalf. -

Congress and Trust LEGISLATION.

The sincerity of the last republican
Congress in its efforts to pass some meas
ure which would in degree protect the
people from the inlpositions of those
commercial sharks, the trusts, is shown
by dispatch from the Washington cor
respondent ola Chicago republican organ.
The correspondent is authority for the
statement that representatives of the
trusts held secret meeting at the nation
al capital with the republican powers that
be, at which an agreement was reached
as.to the trust legislation which was to be
enacted, including the creation of a de-
partment of commerce and the appoint
ment of Secretary Cortelyou as its head.
Mr.. Wellman, the correspondent, says
the agreement was to pass nominal
antitrust bill, but to take good care that
nothing should appear in it which the
trusts had objections to, their represen-
tatives declaring they had no objections
to the publicity suggestion of the
President.
In the face of these facts the halo
thrown about the republican members of
the last Congress for their fight to pass
trust legislation, loses some of its luster,
and the extent TO which the corporate
Interests dominate the party is shown.

The National Economic League, an
organization formed for the purpose of
educating the people to the plutocratic
side of the trust question, has started is
campaign by sending circular letter to
banks throughout the country, stating
that the movement is similar to the recent
silver campaign, when the banks did so
much toward saving the people from the
threatened calamity y Of bimetalism
and helped place the country on a Wall
Street gold basis. The League is evident
ly alarmed at the rapidity with which the
sentiment for public control of the trusts
is gaining favor with the people, and has
started on campaign to gloss over the
evils Of private monopoly. 1t will receive
abundant funds from the Golfers of the
trusts to prosecute this new campaign Of
education"

UNION HOSPITAL.

The following circular has been issued
to the people of Cecil county by the Di-
rectors of the Union Hospital, which in
stitution is to be located at Elkton:
We the undersigned Directors of the
Union Hospital, intend to erect and
maintain a hospital in and for Cecil
County along the following lines:
Poor people of Cecil County in need of
Hospital aid shall be admitted free, upon
presentation of satisfactory evidence that
they are unable to pay.
1t is further proposed to provide private
rooms with suitable facilities for those
who are able to pay.
The Medical Staff shall consist of all
duly qualified Cecil County physicians
who are willing to attend, without pay,
all patients who are unable to pay
Every physician of the county shall have
the privilege of attending his own patient
in said Hospital, and if pay patients, to
make private terms with such patients
for medical or surgical attention. A staff
of expert Surgeons and Specialists of
Baltimore and Philadelphia will give aid
in an emergency in which their services
may be required.
A Board of Lady Managers shall have
supervision over the domestic or house
hold affairs of said Hospital, and shall
provide means for the recreation or in
struction of such patients as may need
the same.
After a careful study of the situation we
are satisfied that well-equipped Hospital
is necessity, as a life-saving measure
The advantages of such an institution
in our midst, among our home people,
must be apparent.
For good beginning only one thing
is needed-money; and this money to
insure the successful beginning must be
raised by contribution. We ask you 10
help make this beginning.
Other sources of revenue upon which
we rely are state, county and town aid,
legacies, donations, special gifts and
funds raised by aid of the Board of Lady
Managers.
We hope to unite every interest and
influence in Cecil County. Every one
will be given chance to contribute ac-
cording to his means. We have all abid-
ing faith in the good people of Cecil
County. Let us not lose our confidence
in you. We will take no backward step.
Sooner or later, we intend to build this
Hospital. The sooner, the better, and
this i'll measure depends upon the en-
couragement we receive. 1t is to your
best interest to hasten this movement.
1t is matter not only of public pride,
but of public safety.

The question of woman suffrage was
voted on in New Hampshire last week
and resulted in a denial Of the right to vote
to the women of the State. The woman
suffragists have vigorously advocated their
cause i'll the New England States but
have met with only partial success in that
section. In the west four States have
granted women the right of full suffrage
Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado and Utah,
while in several others women vote
on school matters. On the whole
the question has been slow to secure
adoption in the United States, notwith-
standing it has proven a success where
ever tried. woman's influence OIL the
ballot being admitted good, most esPec-
tally has this fact been made apparent in
the countries of New Zealand and South
Australia, where women have enjoyed
right OF franchise for years.

Joseph c. Bird.

Joseph G. Bird died at the resi-.
dence of his daughter, Mrs. Forrest
Baker, near Rising Sun, on Satur-
day, 14th inst, of the infrmities of
of age, having been in declining
health for some months past. He
was in his 10Th year. The deceas-
ed was native of New Jersey,
moving to Cecil county in early
manhood apd locating at Farming
ton, where he conducted black
smith business. He later moved to
Rising Sun where he followed the
same business on a more extensive
scale, manufacturing a corn drill,
and also a cultivator, which bore
his name and of which he was the
inventor and patentee. Mr.. Bird
was a mechanic of great ingenuity,
originating and securing patents on
several ingenious devices besides
his drill and cultivator. The "bro-
ken tongue" was the creation of his
brain and was first used on the cul-
tivator made by him.
His wife, who was Miss Hannah
b. Thompson of Pennington, died
in September, 1896. Two sons
and a daughter survive. The
funeral was held on Tuesday, with
interment at Ebenezer cemetery.

Watterson on Cleveland.

In the Louisville Courier Journal OF
Tuesday Henry Watterson discussed 'the
everlasting Cleveland" in the following
pointed manner:
ITO the great body of Democrats OF
the West and the South Mr.. Cleveland is
an eye.sore, an offense, red flag. His
henchmen and idolators may say what
they please. They can do all the deceiv-
ing that may be needful to impress the
public mind with his dsinterestedness.
His rule is to pose as miracle of civic
virtue, the unsel6sh statesman, the re-
luctant patriot and sage, who, withdrawn
from affairs, disdains the offer of the
crown and would be but the half consent
ing and wholly unselfsh guide, philos.
opher and friend of the party which has
thrice honored him with its leadership.
"If we were his friend, and assuredly
we are not his enemy, and believed in his
lofty professions we should say to him
Mr.. Cleveland, the Democratic ship
wreck came 10 pass while you were on
the bridge; many of the crew and some of
the passengers hold you responsible and
guilty OF incompetency, if not of treach-
cry. Even according to your own rating
OF yourself you have done enough for
your party and your country. You are
an old man. Why complicate the situa-
ton, embarrassing your friends and cheat
ing your age of its repose, by once more
undertaking to seize the helm and to
steer the ship?'"

The Gar of Russia on the 18th inst,
in commemoration of the anniversary of
the birthday of Alexander III, issued a
decree providing for freedom of religion
throughout his domains, establishing to
some degree local selfgovernment and
making other concessions. The decree
promises much to that oppressed people
in a general way, but it lacks definite
ness, and it is not looked upon as likely
to lead to any radical change from the
oppressive forms which hold sway in
every department of government in all
Russia.
