Defeated

Special Correspondence of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, August ~, 1900
Representative sydney T.. Mudd came up
from his home at La Plata and gave cor
dial greeting 10 his constituents at the falr
grounds. In reply to an inquiry from the
Star correspondent, MIR. Mudd stated that
the republican county convention, to nomi-
nate ticket will not be held until after the
democrats make their nominations. He also
stated that while, from what he could learn
the entire democratic ticket had already
been picked out by the leaders, the repubI-
cans had decided upon no candidates, and
that the selection of nominees viii be left
to the delegates. Mr.. Mudd expressed his
belief that the proposed amendment to the
state constitution Will be buried out OF

that he would order no more releases from
the Jail of prisoners who held pending
trial. There are number of prisoners who
are committed on account of the continu-
ance of their cases. Their cases Will now be
continued Indefinitely until the quarantine
is raised and the danger of smallpox is
over. 1t is the opinion of the officials that
this precaution is due to all who have busi-
ness in the Police Court.
There were two continued cases which
were set for today, and the defendants
were ordered to be brought up from Jail to
be tried. When the release was presented
this morning by United States Deputy
Marshal Johnson. he was informed that
they were in the quarantined part of the
jail and that they could not be brought up

Conan Doyle's Best Stories.

Popular as were the twelve
stories comprised in the RE
turn of Sherlock Holmes and
printed in The Star, the new
series of selected stories of the
great detective, which will conf
mence in next Sundays Star,
are even better. The ten Ad-
ventures of Sherlock Holmes,
which make up the fresh series,
are some Of the earlier work
of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but
for cleverness they have never
been approached by anything

an advance in the price of eggs since last

DULL SEASON IN MARKET.
Slight Improvement, However, Noted
bY Dealers

This is the season of the year when the
market dealers DO not expect to reap a
harvest. Many of the big buyers are away
at summer resorts and the demand con-
sequently, is not great enough to consume
the supply. There has been a slight i'm
provemuent in the market since last week.

people from their summer outings The
numerous rains have shown their effect
upon the fish and vegetable markets To-
matoes and beans have been greatly af-
fected by the wet weather, and the prices
have advanced. tomatoes bringing from
81. so to 81 a box. This Is an unusually high
price for them at this season. Beans are
90 cents peck and may get even higher.
The wet weather has also greatly affected
the quality of canteloupes, and very few
of them are worth buying. With the ex-
ception of lettuce, other vegetables are still
plentiful and cheap. There has been a big
improvement in the fruit market during
the past week, and peaches and grapes are
becoming more plentiful. Peaches from
western Maryland and Delaware are in
market now, and they cheaper than
they have been at any prior time this sea-
son.
Difficulty in Getting Fish.
Fish dealers are experiencing some little
difficulty in getting fish enough for their
trade, although II is their dull season. The
continued northeast winds and rains
formed combination that operated against
the fishermen and caused a scarcity of
fish. Their scarcity has affected the prices
of some fish, but not to any great extent.
Hard crabs have also been scarce this
week, the dealers being unable to get
stock enough for their trade. Soft crabs
are still plentiful and cheap. Crab meat,
shrimp and CLAIMS are in demand, and they
take the place of fish that are scarce.

The Longest Lawsuit.

A lawsuit which makes Jarndyce
versus Jarndyce seem like sum
mary proceeding Is still pending IN
Spain and is probably the longest
suit In point Of time in the history OF
the world. The case, which Is between
the Marquis de Viana and the Count
Torres de Cabrera, began in 1917 ana
arose out Of a dispute over a pension.
The sum In the controversy would
have reached fabulous millions had
not four centuries Of attorneys, bar
risters and court officials taken con-
siderate and effectual measures to
prevent its attaining unwieldy pro-
portions. In 1871 the case was
deemed just about ripe for de-
cision, but for one reason or another
II has been continuously postponed.
However, the judges have now become
apprehensive lest the case run over
into Its fifth century, and, as this
might reflect upon the promptitude OF
Spanish procedure, word has gone
forth that the wheels Of justice are to
be accelerated to burst Of speed that
will secure the giving Of judgment
within a period not to exceed two
years longer.-Law Notes.

Where Rede Wns Educated.

ArchaeologiSts and others will re-
ioice to learn that as a result Of the
persevering efforts of the present rec
tor and mayor the ruins of Jarrow
monastery, which date from the year

government. The ruins, though scanty'
still retain many interesting features,
notably a fine doorway and several
windows. 1t was at JarrOw monastery
that Venerable Bede, 1.-The Father of
English Historians" was educated for
the priesthood from the age of seven

EranI,Iin,s RicenfenarY.

1t is certainly discreditable that one
Of the three Americans who would by
popular acclaim be pronounced to be
the greatest the country has produced
should have received SO little formal
recognition. The birthday of Washing
ton is practically a national holiday;
Lincoln's birthday is red letter day In
many states, but Franklin, the third
in this triumvirate of Americas great
est, is denied the honor of a public
testimonial to his superlative merits.
An opportunity is at hand to make
good this neglect. On Jan. II next
will be the bicentenary Of Franklin's
birth. The day ought to be celebrated
in an appropriate manner to the far
thest ends of the country. 1t would
be becoming for Philadelphia to take
the lead in doing honor to her adopted
Record.

The Swiss dislike the autOmoDlllSt
more than do any other European peo-
pie. Laws restricting the motorist in
the Alpine communities are severe
and are more usually enforced than in
this country, for instance. He really
has to slow down in the villages, ana
he is forbidden to travel on the high
passes except in the tow Of a horse
Even these restrictions, however, do
not satisfy the democratic sentiments
Of the Helvetians. \ contributor to
the Berner Bund writes Of the motor
ist as 1.-THE anarchist of the traffic queS-
ton" and of his car as the bomb
which the parvenu hurls into the midst
Of the defenseless masses" He pro-
poses, therefore, the formation Of an
antimotor league, of which the princi-
pal demand shall be that, pending the
ripening of opinion for the entire sup
preston of motorists, the roads shall
at least be forbidden to them on Sun
days and public holidays.

Art Treasures In French Churches.

According to Il report just Issued by
the French minister of fine arts, the
churches of France, and not the Lou
vre, the Luxembourg, the Muses. de
Cluny and Carnavalet, contain the art
treasures Of the nation. The art treas
ures in the public galleries and mu-
seums are but a comparatively small
part Of the artistic wealth Of France.
1t is estimated that If brought under
the hammer the pictures, tapestries,
statues, carvings and other works Of
art would realize the fabulous sum Of
six milliards Of francs.
The little Roman church Of Conques,
lost in the mountains Of Aveyron, Is
possessed of treasure which was on
view at the exhibition Of 1900 1t was
Of such marvellous beauty that a syn
dictate of art dealers offered for 1t the
sum of 100000 francs. 1t contains
the finest enamels in the world, rel
iQuaries given by the early kings Of
France and Roman statues in gold and
silver. Fortunately for France the art
syndicate did not buy it.-Jewelers'

Mr..


When does a "Mr." cease to be a
Mr.? This, says a correspondent, Is
asked not as cOnundrum, but merely
by way of ascertalning the proper use
of the prefix. Twice in one day have
7 been confronted by seemingly incOn-
sjstent usage in this matter. In the
opening sentence Of his Caroline
Poets" Professor Saintsbury refers TO
"Mr. Matthew Arnold and "Meri-
NEE" and maintains the distinction. l
pick up a newspaper containing an
article by Mr.. Andrew Lang on AN
Adventurous Author" and in the first
paragraph 1 meet "Thackeray' ana
s.Nfr. stevenson" Is there no rule!
Is 1t not time to drop the prefix after
q man has made his double qualiica
tion-by notability and death-for in-
clusion in the National Portrait gal
lery? Or are we to be guided by per-
sonal caprice and only to drop the
"Mr." when we think the man referred
to has earned the honor by his great
ness In our eyes? Thus in a subtle
fashion we may criticise a man by
clubbing him, pOsthumously, a Mr.

THREE JURORS CURED
of Cholera r1orbus with one small
Bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Dlarrhoea Remedy.

Mr.. G.. w. Fowler of HightOwer,
Ala, relates an experience he had
while serving on a petit jury in a
murder case at Edwardsville, county
seat of Clebourne county, Alabama.
He says: While there | ate some fresh
meat and some souse meat and it
gave me cholera morbus in very
severe form. was never more sick
in my life and sent to the drug store
for a certain cholera mixture, but
the druggist sent me bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy instead, saying that he had
what sent for, but that this medi-
cine was so much better he would
rather send it to me in the fix l was
in. I took one dose of it and was
better in five minutes. The second
dose cured me entirely. Two fellow
iurors were afflicted in the same
manner and one twenty-five cent
bottle cured the three of u.s." For
