was in fact one offence. For drunken
and disorderIy conduct before his ar
rest he was fined SIS. or committed IN
default to ninety days in the chain
gang. For the continuation Of the
drunken and disorderly conduct while
I'm the barracks he was sentenced TO
fine Of SIS, or 12O days in the chain
gang. He was unable to pay, and was
taken to the chain gang, dressed in the
striped garb of convict, put in chains
and set to work in company with con-
yicts sentenced for infamous crimes.
He was guarded by armed men, who
shot down anybody attempting to es-
cape, and by overseers with whips,
who logged frequently. In his behalf
a writ Of habeas corpus was sued out in
the United States court on the allega-
ton that his sentence and punishment
were not by due process of law" This
contention is sustained by Judge speer,
and Jamison is ordered released.
While admitting the right Of the re-
corder's court to infiict summary PEN
alties for petty offences, Judge speer
denies that man can, without indict-
ment by a grand jury and the judgment
of his peers, be subjected to what is in
fact an infamous punishment. the same
punishment inflicted on men convicted
Of heinous crimes, He points out that
so far as the records show there was
no trial or finding of guilt or innocence
by the recorder. The records show a
sentence, and nothing more. Yet on
this mere order of one man Jamison
was to be subjected for seven months
to hard labor under the lash, in COM
pany with murderers and other hard
ened criminals, for the simple violation
of municipal ordinance. Suffering
along with him under similar summary
sentences was young white boy,
whose offence had been going TO sleep
in the railroad station, and while in the
gang he was brutally whipped.
The case in which the decision was
made involved the punishment Of a
negro in the chain gang. but, as the
Judge says in his opinion: This is not
a color line case. 1t will be white
man, aye. a white child and a white
woman, tomorrow"

The Democratic situation is just a
little queerer than the Democratic sit
uation usually is. 1t is related that at
the meeting of the committee to frame

said to Mr.. Hill: "You ought to have a
gold platform to go with the gold can
didate you are forcing upon the coun-
try Mr.. Hill replied that he knew
nothing as to Mr.. Parker's monetary
views, do you mean to say" demand
ed the Nebraskan, shat you don't
know Judge Parker's financial views?"
II mean just that" responded Mr..
Hill. You have no knowledge on that
subject?n None Have never ask
ed him?" Il have not. / have never
sought to secure an expression of his
views and he has never sought to con-
yey them to me-
1t is further related that Mr.. Bryan
didn't act as If he really believed this
declaration by his friend Hill, and there
are others who will wonder how Mr..
Hill managed to be so ignorant. But he
knows now, and they do say that when
he was enlightened by Judge Parker's
telegram he was quite flabbergasted.
But he had his man nominated, and
he was finally able to get away with it.
But 1t will take some time to tell who
is who and what is what. Some will ask
if Mr.. Hills silence was golden. Others
viii ask if the convention got gold

Bordeaux is the centre Of the French
prune trade, and thence are exported
to this country the high grade prunes
which are used by confectioners. Last
year the crop was almost an entire
failure, and vet the volume Of exporta-'
ton suffered no considerable diminu-
tion. The explanation Of this mystery
is simple. The French merchants im-.
ported California prurres, treated them
in the French fashion and sent them
back to the United States under the
proper label. The difference in price
in New York between the native and
the imported article made this expensr
i've method profitable. In other words,
when the California prune Is labelled
French it win bring a much higher
price. 1t is said that the increased
value comes from method of treat-
ment the secret Of which is known only
to the people of Bordeaux. They GER
tainly know how to sell good California
prunes to the people of this country at
price which the people Of this coun-
try wouldn't think Of paying for said
prunes under the proper name.

i SENSIBLE WOMAN.

Mrs. Sallie Dodson, formerly Mrs..
Sallie shanks, Of Rocheport Missouri,
is one of those sensible women who be-
Ilieve In being thoroughly off with the
old love before being on with the new.
AT. 5 o'clock in the afternoon one day
last week Mrs. Shanks was divorced
from Daniel Shanks. She received two
hundred dollars alimony and the Gus
|tody Of her child At 6 o'clock the
same afternoon Charlie Dodson, who
had been one Of the witnesses in Mrs.
shanks' case, had a license to marry
|her, and the marriage took place. the
next day.
Some may blame Sister Dodson for
waiting so long after her divorce before
allowing Charlie to make her his'n. But
her action in delaying the happy event
can be easily defended. If she had
married Charlie in the evening Of the
day which was her divorce day that
would have looked little nasty to
some Of the takers who are always in
terested in such matters. But by watt
ing until the next day she avoided all
blame for being in a hurry. Besides,
she duly impressed Charlie with the
fact that she was well worth waiting
for. We hope that her example will be
initiated by women who find themselves
similarly situated. Twenty-four hours
ought to be allowed to elapse between
divorce and marriage, unless love is so
|insistent as to annihilate the sense of
propriety and what is due the neigh
bors. Then, we suppose, 1t doesn't
make much difference how short the
cut to the new happiness is.

Maryland's Mineral Display at the

The Maryland Geological Sur
vey is preparing, under the person
al direction of DIR. William B..
Clark, head of the survey, an
elaborate display for the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition in st. Louis
this year, every effort being made
to surpass all former displays of
the mineral resources of our states
and territories as heretofore exhib-
tied. The actual work of grouping
the material has-already begun at
the Survey Building, at the Johns
Hopkins University, and the start
for the exposition grounds will be
made about March.
The exhibit as it is being prepar-
ed by DR.. Clark, with the assist
ance of DIR. e. B. Matthews, asso-
ciate professor of mineralogy in the
Johns Hopkins University, will
present in a comprehensive and
artistic scheme all the mineral re-
sources of the state and their Geo.
nomic values as material for build
ing and other arts.

The Presiding Eldership.

The Cecil Democratic publishing
the following concerning the Pre-
siding Eldership Of this Conference,
about which there is at present
considerable speculation:
'sDuring the past few days there
has been quietly put. on foot by
several of the leading ministers of
this, the Wilmington Methodist
Conference, a movement which will
most likely eliminate in the selec-
tion of Rev. DR.. Thomas E. Mar.
tindale, of Elkton, as the successor
of Rev. DR.. Robert E. Watt, pre-
siding elder of the Conference.
DR.. Watt will have served six
consecutive years as presiding
elder in March, and will be COM
PEELED to give up the Office owing
to the time limit. A number of
ministers have been spoken of to
succeed him, and up to very re-
Gently it looked as though Rev.
DR.. A. S. Mowbray, of Port De-
posit, would be the choice. DR..
Mowbray, however, is not anxious
for the position, and on the other
hand the members of the Port De-
posit Church would seriously
object to his removal.
DR.. Martindale was for six years,
previous to coming to Elkton last
March, presiding elder of the Sails
bury district, and his familiarity
with the work of the Office, together
with the backing Of the leading
ministers, will most likely result in
his selection.
"In case of DR.. Martindale's
selections, it is said that Rev. DR..
Watt would probably be sent to
Elkton.''

The susquehanna Ice Harvest.

A large force of men has been
busily engaged the past week fill
ing the large houses of the Amer
ican Ice Co. at HaVre de Grace,
Perryville and Frenchtown.
The ice is thicker this year than
for many years, and is clear and of
the best quality, averaging about
Ia inches. Several hundred men
have been employed, it requiring
nearly three weeks to fill all
the larger houses. The ice harvest
ing industry is an important one
to the places mentioned. From it
alone thousands of dollars are ex-
pended, while an amount as large
is required to take the ice from the
houses and load it on vessels for
shipment during the summer
months. 1t is estimated that to do
this work, between $4,000 and
$4,000 is paid out by the American
Ice Company.

Trials Of Speed.

The excellent sleighing the past

many were the trials of speed.
The Town Commissioners put a
veto on the racing in town last
Saturday and the track was moved
to the new macadam road just be-
yond the limits. In the two-plus
class Howard H. Reynolds and
David Phillips nags carried off the
laurels, with honors even, Mr..
Reynolds steed having won in the
trials within the borough and Mr..
Phillips coming under the wire
first on the boulevard. In the free
for all class J. B. Tyson's Prince
Kuser and VIM. T. Vests Strich-
nine were easily favorites, but to
the disappointment of the large
assemblage of sports these two
steppers did not appear on the
course at the same time.
