A Big Democratic Rally.

One of the greatest gatherings the dem
ocratic party has ever held in Maryland
took place last night at the Lyric in
Baltimore and not for many campaigns
has the party presented the solid and I'M
broken trout there seen.
1t was a gigantic assemblage of the
flower of the Maryland democracy, rep
resentatiye not only of the best citizen
ship, but typical of every wing and ele-
ment and faction Of the party. So large
was the thrOng that for blocks on both
sides of the hall the streets were choked
with vast concogrse of people, and the
roar and thunder of the applause inside
the big building was answered by per-
feet tempest OF enthusiasm from the
multitude without.
Probably there has never before in
Maryland been gathered together on one
stage as distinguished agroup of nation
al democrats as faced those cheering
thousands last night, and the welcome
accorded this galaxy of stars in the
democratic armament was one that fairly
shook the building and was enough to
send thrill through the heart OF the
most phlegmatic person.
There we're the two octogenarians-
Hon. Henry G. Davis, the candidate
for Vice. President of the United States,
and ex.Gov. William Pinkney Whyte,
the "Grand Old Man" Of Maryland
and the sight of these venerable out
sturdy democrats was sufficient in itself
to start wave of enthusiasm which
swept all before it aud brought every
man and woman in the house to their
feet.
The ovation accorded Hon. David
Bennett Hill, that great New York
chieftain whose famous phrase 81 am
democrat still lives in the memories of
people all over the United States, and
who has only recently announced his
prospective retirement from politics
after 40 years of leadership, was directed
by Senator German, to whom was also
given q demonstration Of an unusual
kind.
Hon. John w. Daniel, the veteran
Senator from Virginia, whose eloquence
has before enthused a Maryland crowd,
was greeted with cheers that il seemed
would never subside, but rose and fell
with ever-increasing volume, while the
with his flowing locks
and swarthy countenance, looked into
the faces of the shouting thousands.
When Senator German said he had
great pleasure in introducing the "most
living Virginian and the pro-
foundest constitutional lawyer 10 the
Senate, a great shout went up: "Dan-
lei DanielP' and this was followed by
loud applause.
Ringing and eloquent speeches were
made and the democratic doctrines we're
set forth with power and force that
again and carried the audience fairly
off its feet and brought everybody out Of
his seat with cheer. President Roose-
welt and the republican policies and per-
formances were denounced with vehe-
mence and logic that struck home with
force, and the mos. tremeu-
1Ous cheering greeted the prophecies OF
both Senator German and ex-senator
Hill that the Parker Davis ticket would
be triumphantly elected in November.

Judge Parker.

New York, Oct. 1l.-Senator James
K. Jones called at the Hotel Seville,
this morning, to introduce to Judge
Parker ID. l.. Baumgarten, of Cincin-
natl, who had just returned from Europe
with q message from Judson Harmon,
of Ohio. To the nominee Mr.. Harmon
sent word that Mrs. Harmon's illness
was the cause of the delay in his return.
He hoped, however, to sail before Octo-
Der 18th and declared he would enter
the campaign on his arrival and do
everything in his power for the national
ticket. At the Seville, today, the re-
port is denied that Judge Parker will
make a speech to the Avon Beach Club
delegation, at Esopus, on Saturday.
Other contingents are expected later,
however, and 10 some Of these he will
present phases of the issues which we're
not preached in his speech and letter of
acceptance.
1t was authoritstively announced this
afternoon, that while National Chair
man Thomas Taggart will go to Indiana
next week, at the urgent request of John
w. Kern, democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of that State and others, he will
not remain there until election, nor will
the executive work of the democratic
national committee be placed in other

why Dead River.

The western branch of The kcnne-

River, because in 1775 1t was full OF
drowned soldiers. So one may read,
but there is not q syllable OF truth in
it; and the next picture conJured up

fact IS that the river flows for long
Distance through meadows, and unless

Character.

The hest thing in this world is good
man. The first thing that human beng
should recognize about himself is that his
character is his distinguishable feature.
1t is not the amount Of money, the amount
OF power, the amount Of brains that man
has, but his character. Whatever fellow
men may say, or do to the contrary, this is
a fact, chat what separates him from 9th
ers and gives him his I5v lnd,veaal,sy uanaSd;ns 's
to- to- its degree. Money, power and brains
have their place and exert an influence IN
deciding mans position and recognition,
but the standard Of ages. bv which every
one j. tried in character and in Gods sight,
which is the final and determined sight,
men are what they are n wishes and pur..
noses. 1t is not then too much to say that
the supreme ambition of a persons life
ss,uld be to secure worthy character.

lirious life just as much as your derotiQls-

A Blessed Secret.

1t is blessed secret, this of living BY
the day. Any one can carry his burden,
however heavy, until nightfan. ANY one
can do his work, however hard, for ope
day. Any one can live sweetly, patiently,
lovingly and purely until the sun goes
down. And this is al that life ever MEANS
to us-just one. little day. "Do to-day's
duty: fight to-day's temptations, and do
not weaken and distract yourself by look,
ing forward to things you cannot see, and
could not understand if you saw them.
God gives US nights to shut down the
curtain OF darkness on our little days. We
cannot see beyond. Short horizons make
life easier. and give us one of the blessed
secrets of brave, true. holy living. 3

A Rule For Happiness !.

Charles Kingsley the famous preacher
and author, told how to find true joy IN
life. as follows: 80,
Make a rule, and pray to God to help
you to keen it, never. if possible, to lie
down at night without being able to say, Il
have made one human being ;at least a
little wiser. Or little happier or little
better this day You will find it easier.
than you think, and pleasanter. Easier,
because if you wish to do Gods work God;
will surely find you work to do; and pleas,
anter, because in return for the little trou-
BILE it may cost you or the little choking
of foolish, vulgar pride it may cost you,
you will have peace of mind, quiet Of
temper, a cheerfulness and hopefulness
about yourself and all around you, such
as you never felt before; and over and
above that. if you look for reward in the
life to come, recollect this: What we have
to hope for in the life to come is to enter
into the Joy of our Lord - tr;- /.
"And how did He fulfil that Joy? By
humbling Himself and taking the form Of
a slave and coming, not to be ministered
to, but to minister and to give His whole
life, even unto the death upon the cross,.
a ransom for. many Be sure that unless
you take up His cross you will never share
in His footstspssyou will never reach the
place where He is If you wish to enter.
into the Joy of your Lord, be sure that His
JOY is now, -as it was in the Judea of old,
over every sinner that repenteth, every
mourner that is comforted, every hungry
mouth that is fed, every poor soul, sick or
in prison, who is visited" s3igia- !.
