DISPUTED WILCOX DEED.

DISPUTED WILCOX DEED.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Robinson
began the hearing of the bill in equity
to quiet title, brought by +. NJ. Ma
COON against l.. l.. Lucas. Magoon
and Lightfoot for plaintiff; A. A. Will
der for defendant.
Mrs. Magoon claims n fee simple title
in herself and grantors extending back
forty years and says that the defendant
has an adverse and hostile claim based
on deed from Robert w. Wilcox and
Theresa Owana Wilcox to him, which
the plaintiff alleges to be a false deed.
The suit is over 52l00 acres of land
and was instituted April IS, 1900.
After the court adjourned for the
day at 4 o'clock, Mrs. Wilcox accosted
defendants attorney in the corridor
and bitterly upbraided him for the time
she lost in waiting to be called as a
witness. Her time is valuable just
now in county politics.

St. Petersburg was founded by Peter

The Cold Water Habit.
Fault-Finding Out Of Place in the
Field of Summer Diversions.

AS the summer approaches, 1t is not
amiss to give some thought to hygi-
enic matters-the use of cold water
among them. This is a season of
plans, of hopes and expectations, of
furry and worry, more or less. Old
fashioned people warned their chill
dren against the use of cold water
when heated by exercise. Some mod
ern authorities have scoffed at this
view. But however the use of literal
cold water may affect the human sys-
tenn. there is little doubt of the unhy-
gienic effect Of metaphorical cold
water thrown upon sizzling enthu-
siasm.
During the summer months people
are thrown together in such way
that cooperation in pleasure-seeking
is almost inevitably necessary. And
nothing will spoil both the co-opera-
ton and the pleasure more surely than
the habit some worthy folk have of
throwing cold water.
For example, plans are made for
some outing IN the woods or by the
sea, and when everything is fairly
under way somebody observes diseon-
tentedly: II shouldn't think Yen
would want to do that do you think
you will have a good time ?" And IN
nine cases out of ten the speaker Is
actuated simply by the instinct to crit
icise what others are doing, perhaps
from some fancied sense of SUPERIOR
~ III being hard to please. 1t will be
noted that this criticism or discour-
agement is seldom offered until the
plan IN question is SO far completed
that it cannot be changed. Then the
critic proceeds to make everybody un-
comfortable with prophecies Of fail
ure.
This is trait in human nature I'M

SUMMER FURNISHINGS
FOR WHITE HOUSE

Visitors to the White House today who
were permitted to see the main portion
of the house experienced an unusual
sensation. Going into the Red Room
they saw, directly in front OF the mantle
the picture of George Washington
taken from the wall and resting on tho
floor, making the Father of His Coun'
try seem to be approaching to welcome
the visitors. In the Green Room Lin
coins portrait was similarly placed
plainly IN sight from the corridor.
These and other portraits OF Presi-
dents which hang in the two rooms re.
ferred 10 have been taken from theiI
places to enable an upholsterer's man t.
cover the plush-faced walls with crasl
for the summer. II is expected that tbs
work Will be completed early next week
before the President returns to thu
White House.
The White House tennis court, which
has been undergoing some slight alter
atoms in the course CT the past week
is now completed aud ready for play.
The court was marked out today with
permanent white tape lines and presents
beautiful appearance.

Lowndes May Try Again.

While Mr.. Warfeld seems to have what
would vulgarly be known as "cinch'
on the Democratic nomination, the Re-
publican situation is not SO clear, and
there Is more uncertainty ass to whom
their nominee will be. The Hon Lloyd
Lowndes has been mentioned, and would
probably make q strong candidate, even
against Mr.. Warfield. He is the only
man the Republicans of Maryland have
been able to elect governor in half a
century, and although he was defeated
by the present incumbent. the Hon. John
Walter Smith, in 1899, he would still
be able to put up strong and perhaps
winning fight.
On the basis Of the Congressional cleo
tons OF last year Maryland, which re-
turned four Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis to the House, was Republican by
about 5000 majority. More than one
half OF this majority, however, was OBJ
tanned by the Hon Sidney E. Mudd IN
the Fifth district, where he is popular
and his Democratic opponent was much
handicapped The Democrats are conf

Republicans appreciate the fact that the
advantage is somewhat against them,
but they will make q game fight.
The nomination of Mr.. Warfield for
governor will remove him from the
Senatorial contest which Will be made
for the seat now held by the Hon. Louis
E. McComas. So far as the Democrats
are concerned, in case they win the
Legislature. as they confidently expect
to do, the contest will resolve Itself
into three cornered struggle of mil
lionaires-the Hon. John Walter smith
the present governor: the Hon. Frank
Brown, ex-governor. and the Hon. lsidor
Rayner, counsel for Schley in the court
OF inquiry proceedings and the present
attorney general of the State.

GOVERNMENT STILL
A BUYER OF SILVER
Enough, However, on Hand to Start
Philippine Coinage.

Director of the Mint Roberts has no
fear now that the price OF silver will
go so high that it will be inadvisable
TO make purchases on account Of the
Philippine coinage. The market yester-
day showed a slight decline from last
Monday when enough silver was bought
by Mr.. Roberts to coin the 100000
pesos required before the Philippine
coinage system can be put in operation.
The silver obtained last week does not
take this Government out Of the market,
but at the same time it is not necessary
TO make purchases when the market is
unfavorable. On the decline yesterday
the Director bought 3S6.000 ounces at an
average of SO. z27 cents an ounce.

its sublime heights those heights
which bear, like delicate blossoms of

The Field of Politics.
Warfeld in Favor.
ceTned.

w d1Aclu Ii dNUl
Unless political straws belle the trend
of the current the Hon. Edwin Warfield
will be the next governor of Maryland.
At this early stage of the contest before
the State conventions have been held,
he looks like a winner. He is lin good
FORM" as they would say in the pad
dock, and may easily be regarded a3
the favorite when the race is called, al
though, OF course, mishaps sometimes
occur on the track, and the favorite Is
occasionally a bad second.
Mr. Warfield wants the Democratic
nomination, and says SO. He has had the
gubernatoria1 fever for several years.
Now the opportunity seems at hand for
him to realize his ambition. He Is a
strong man, above any faction or the
control of any ring, and will doubtless
be able to poll the full Democratic vote
in the State. despite the fact that he was
not IN direct line with his party In 1896.
AS the president of a great financial
institution-the Fidelity and Deposit
Company OF Maryland-he could not well
have afforded so TO be. but his standing
with his party is high, and he is not
likely to lose anything by reason of his
attitude in the free silver campaign.

Gold and Silver.
The Errand of the Commission on In
ternational Exchange.

The members of the United States
Commission on International Elk
change, who sailed the other day on
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, have
not gone to Europe on any such hope
less errand as that on which the BIZ
metallic Commission was sent some
years ago.
They are not going out to try to
ado something for silver" or to urge
the European countries to find a
larger use for silver in their coinage.
Their hope is to devise some none
tary arrangement by which the pres
ent fluctuations in the rates Of ex-
change between silver standard and
gold standard countries can be ended.
Obviously, the only sound method of
doing this, as II. H. Hanna, the chair
man Of the commission, remarked be-
fore his departure, is TO raise the sill
yer countries to a gold exchange
standard
Most Americans, outside the office
of ''The Commoner," have long since
cutgrown the delusion that it is pos
sible TO have a double standard, OF
that if there IS to be but one standard,
1t is possible to displace gold with
silver as that standard. We can nc
more have two standards than we can
dc business with two yardsticks, one
measuring twelve inches and the other
five or SIX, but both bearing the same
designation. AS to displacing gold
with silver as the single standard il
cannot be done, for the excellent rea-
son that the great and progressive ma
tons of the world prefer gold, and
viii have what they prefer.
But arriving at some definite and
uniform exchange value of silver is g
matter Of great importance to silver
using countries, such as Mexico anC
China, TO countries which have silver
using dependencies, such as England
and the United States, and to all who
have large commerce with such coun,
tries or dependencies. 1t is a problem
with which We are now wrestling. on

it is one with which England has had
to deal in India; and it is one, more
over, which has just been pressed on
the attention Of all of the great west
