The greatest secrecy is maintained
about the sale Of the Army and Navy
clubhouse. None OF the parties inter
ested nor any Of those who have man
aged the deal are disposed to say either
who is the purchaser or state the exact
price paid for the property. One thing
Is certain. however, and that IS that T.
H. Duehay - not the prospective own
er. 1t can De said upon pretty good au-
thority that the building has been
bought by a syndicate and that it viii
ultimately pass into the possession Of
an organization. which in its general
chara cter IS akin TO that now tenanting

price paid for the clubhouse. including
all its furniture and fiXings, was IN the

The October s.Smart Set"

The October number of The Smart
Set' is veritable mine of brilliant stor
les and poems. "Moored," by Anna A.
Rogers, is the title of the novelette, which
opens the issue 1t is story full Of pow
er and quiet humor, dealing with the
temptation which comes to the young
wife of naval officer while he is abroad
and she is ''moored" at home. The tale
leaves a remarkably vivid impression and
will attract wide attention.
Gouverneur Morris, in his short story,
"The Lady of Moods" has written as
striking piece Of work as has recently
appeared in any magazine. Its wonder
full art stamps this young arthur as gen
Jus. In wholly different vein is the
late Guy Wetmore Carryl's humorous
tale, "a Tide in the affairs Of Stephen
Girdler." 1t is brimful of delightful
character drawing. In 1.-The Two Ghosts"
Richard LIE Gallienue is at his best as a
good natured satirist and brilliant cpl
grammatist. when Delos Drifted,"
story by Beatrix Demarest Lloyd, new
writer of great promise, is one of the
most notable in the number, though one
must remember the poetic beauty of Zona
Gales "a Land a Great Way Off, the
intense realism of Theodore Waters 1.-The
Passing of Con Out" the keen analytical
power of Willard French "The Mastiff,'
story of political life in Washington,
and the cleverness Of Barry PAINS THE
Rewards of Perseverance" the last and
perhaps the best in the series Of detec-
tive stories which the distinguished Eng
lish author has written exclusively for
1.-THE Smart Set"
Two essays, one by Agnes Repplier,
the other by F. J. Knight Adkin, add
charm to this knight; and there are ex-
cellent poems by such favorte verse
writer's as Joaquin Miller, Ernest dc
Gaffey, Theodosia Garrison, Madeline
Bridges, P. Macarthur, Frank Lille Pol,
lock, Thomas Walsh and Arthur Macy.
Variety is the disting gushing note Of the
October "Smart Set" and no two Of its
stories are in any way alike.

VICTORY FOR LA TOILETTE.

Governor La Toilette has won no.
table victory over the "Stalwart'
wing OF the Republican psrty in Wis
consin, says the Baltimore "Sun." The
Supreme Court OF that State has de-
cided adversely to the claims of his
enemies within the Republican ranks
who bolted from the State convention
last May, organized a convention OF
their own and nominated complete
State ticket. These factional SQUAD
bles would be of no interest outside Of
Wisconsin if this we're not the year Of
a Presidential election. Because of
the bitterness between the factions
DEMOCRATS have been encouraged to
believe that Wisconsin might be lost
by the Republicans. That is still pos
sible, but it is not probable that Judge
Parker's managers are relying upon
the electoral vote OF the Badger State
to assure tie election OF the Demo
cratic standal d. bta rer. The Stalwarts
OF Wisconsin may still try to defeat
Governor La Toilette at the polls, but
they can have their revenge on the
Governor witLt clubbing the Presi-
dent at the same time. The ground
of the Republican opposition to La Fol
lette is that, as Governor, he has
adopted radical policy, being none
too lenient with the corporations. In
addition lie is charged with building
up machine in his own interest.
Govelrcr La Toilette seems to be
popular with the masses of his party
and he Las a considerable following
among radical DE- mocrats. The chances
are that he will be elected Tut, with
Stalwart Republicans arrayed against
him to the number of 10000 or more,
he nav fnd on election day that his
thumb in tie toults was an empty
one after all.

For Congress.
DR.. RICHARD S. HILL.
OF Prince Georges County.
Election Tuesday, November 8, 1904

In our comments upon the nomina
ton of DR.. Hill in the issue of Sep
TENDER 23rd, we endeavored to point
out how the nominee has in organic
ing the Fair Association of Southern
Maryland acted with public spirit:
and IL us Indirectly affol ded the
means to many people of honestly
earning a few dollars. We referred
especially to the fact that the crowds
attending the fairs have brought bust
ness to the hotels, to the persons who
run conveyances to and from the
grounds, and to many others who
have temporary employment in va
rious capacities during Fair week.
Thousands of dollars also have been
distributed among worthy people of
this and neighboring counties in the
way of premiums. We did not in any
way, either by word or implication, En-
dorse anything of an immoral or per-
nicious tendency that may be incident
to Fairs, but our effort was to direct
attention to the work of a respected
and worthy young man who has been
honored by friends at home and away
from home in q manner that indicates
arpre citation of true and laudable SER
vices in behalf of the people.

10 the HOhDr0Ote DOUi'd OF SChOOt commas
siOneFs:
respectfully submit the above state
ment of the finances or the School Board
for the past fiscal year. l desire you to
note that last year for the first time in
three or four years, it has been possible
to keep the disbursements for the white
schools within the amount of available
resources. Two years ago, when the
present Board went into Office, the debt
was nearly $4,000. A number of new
schools were then opened and it was nee
essary to increase the debt So 500 the next
year. This Indebtedness Of $4,000 still
exists in the form of Bank Loans. The
balances, however, in the Book fund and
Manual Training Fund are increasing
from year to year, but under the law can
not be diverted.
The colored fund, unfortunately, is in
bad condition. The receipts from the
State for colored schools three years ago
amounted to over $9,OOO-an amount suf-
ficient to pay all running expenses. Last
year, in consequence of the decision Of
the Court of Appeals as to the apportion-
ment, the total amount received from the
State was only $4,000. The cost of run
ming the 80 colored schools now in oper-
alton for 5! months last year was, for
salaries, incidentals, fuel and repairs
alone, 1896 81 An Indebtedness of
So, 400 was therefore incurred last year for
the colored schools, which amount added
to the deficiency of the previous year,
makes total Indebtedness for colored
schools of $4,000.
This Indebtedness Of h Board
may be reduced somewhat from our ordi-
nary resources next year, but it is mani
fest that not only is rigid economy neces-
sary, but also that the demands of the peo-
pie for more schools and increased school
facilities must be more reasona BILE. Sew
en- new schools with eight teachers have
been opened within the last two years.
The new School at Hyattsville under
the law is to be built and furnished out of
the proceeds of sale Of Bonds; but a debt
of $500 interest per annum for 30 years
is to be met and a sinking fund is to be
provided to pay the Bonds at maturity.
The County Commissioners have decided
to make noprovision for the first years
payment and requested the School Board
to take it out of the premium, and if it is
not paid out of the premium, it will have
to be taken from the white school fund
given to us to pay the teachers, ich is
specific levy for specific purpose and 1t
is grave question, if the School Board
can divert funds.

kuropatkin Likely to Permit Japs to

st. Petersburg. Sept. 23.-The alb
sence of reports from the seat OF war,
despite the important character of the
events believed to be developing around
Mukden, leads to the supposition that
Kuropatkin will not seriously contest
the japanese advance, and II is ex-
pected the battle at Mukden will turn
out to merely be rearguard action.
Sakharoff reports that the japanese
are moving from Bentsiaputze toward
Flu pass. six miles northeast of Muk-
den. near the right bank of the Hun
river. The river at this point is shall
low. and probably for this reason the
locality selected is the crossing. II
the Japanese gain foothold at Flu pass,
Kuropatkin's position at Mukden will
be insecure, as the Japanese thence
will be able to threaten the Russian
line of communications.
