EXECUTIVE OF WHOLE PEOPLE
Governor Edwin Warfield Likes
The Irish AS Well AS
The Dutch.

Governor Wartield left Annapolis
yesterday in time TO participate in the
ceremonies of the annual outing and
picnic of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans at barley Park, Baltimore. The
Morning Herald says the Governor
made an address of the orthodox picnic
variety.
"While am the chief executive of
the state, he said, II am the Cover
nor of the whole people, the poor as
we'll as the rich, the Irish as well as
the Germans. am your servant.
Now, don't forget that. / am not
your ruler, but the one You have Sc
lected to administer the affairs of the
state. |"
The Irishmen applauded this vocifer-
ously and the Governor continued
Il am delighted to be here. As /
entered and heard the old bagpipes and
listened to the Irish violinist it car
ried me back to the days when | was
child and l heard my father and
grandfather play the same old tunes
on the violin. l have enjoyed meet
ing you and your children, and you
compliment me when you say that
you are glad to meet me; You compli-
ment me when you bring your children
TO shake my hands.
Il see many of my good friends here
who supported me during my campaign
and hope none of You will ever have
cause to regret it. When see hus
band attending such occasions as this,
having with him his wife and chill
dren, l realize that there is a family
which is credit to any community.
You can't have pure government un-
less you have pure homes. Never let
your wife become too old nor your
daughter too large for you to occasion
ally embrace them about the waist.
The most beautiful sight / ever saw
was father and his grown son walk
ing along arm in arm. / have often
advised young women against enter
ing into matrimony too young. If a
more mature age is reached, the home
will be domestic and nearer what a
home should be. think twenty-six
years a good age to marry. A girl.
after she has completed her school life,
owes several years of her association
to her parents anyway. But am not
here TO deliver an address ON matri-
mony; but keep up these gatherings.
You must have some pleasure in life. -

Excursionist Delayed.

The Baltimore Sun says The ex-
cursion of about 500 persons on the
steamer General j. A. Dunno mt to
Chesapeake Beach Wednesday from
Easton came to grief on the retrun
and the passengers were taken back to
Easton yesterday morning from Oxford
on the steamer Avalon. The Dumont
reached Chesapeake Beach about noon
on Wednesday. Some of the passen-
gers went on to Washington by rail.
The Dumont started from the beach
at 2. 40 and when she reached Oxford
her boilers were leaking SO badly that
the passengers all had to be landed.
When the condition of the boat was
announced something of panic took
place, and there was a wild rush to
get ashore at Oxford.

Repairs Not To Be Made

1t has been definitely decided that
the contemplated repairs and improve
ment to Humphreys Hall, St. Johns
College, will not be made this year.
The plans and specifications were of
such q characer that the bidders for
the contract could not estimate their
bids within the amount appropriated.
and although the architect altered the
plans, the trouble was not abated. In
the meantime the vacation time in
which the work was to be done was
growing shorter and as there is not
sufficient time between this and the
opening of college to complete the
work, it cannot be done this year.

CANADIAN HENLEY REGATTA.

Special Dispatch to Evening Capital.
st. GATHERINGS, Ont, Aug. 5.-On
the new permanent rowing course here
the best amateur scullers and oars of
the United States and Canada lined
up today at the beginning of the twen-
ty- y-second annual regatta of the Cana
dian Association of Amateur Oarsmen.
Those present included representatives
of rowing clubs of Toronto, Winnie
peg, Montreal and other cities of the
Dominion, together with a notable
aggregation of American oarsmen just
returned from the championship re-
gatta at ST. Louis. Judging from the
high class of the entries many stirring
races will lie witnessed in the contests
started by today's preliminaries. The
practice work of several competitors
has been very good, leaving doubt
as to the probable outcome of each
event. In consequence there is quite
a betting interest in all the races and
considerable money will probably
change hands The two days pro-
gramme consists of twelve events, as
fellows: Senior four oars, senior
eight oars. seneior single sculls, senior
double sculls, intermediate double
sculls, intermediate four oars, Junior
four oars, senior pair oars, Junior
single sculls, Junior double sculls,
Junior eight oars.

PROSPECTS, FoR MEROHANTs.
Special Dispatch to Evening Capital

New York. Aug. 5.-Expressions
collected from leading merchants both
in New York and other business CEN
tres are almost universally optimistic.
In lines of dry goods, groceries and
drugs there is general sentiment
that trade during the coming autumn
will equal if not surpass that of year
ago, and it is furthermore the univer-
sal view as far as expressed that the
presidential election will have no i'll
effect. Collections are generally good
and reports from statesmen on the
road are universally encouraging.
Strikes are regarded as the only blot
upon the fair prospects.
