of the Baltimore city delegation in
the last House of Delegates, has been
announced as candidate for the DEM
ocratio nomination for the Senate

Der of the House Mr. Linthicum made
many friends among the county dele
gates because of his courteous manners
and his willingness TO oblige them in
all matters where their interest did
not conflict with those of the city.
He was always at the front in behalf
of measures for the benefit of the peo-
pie, and proved himself to be forcible
speaker whenever he took the floor in
debate. No man at Annapolis made o
better record and his election TO the
Senate will be a well-deServed and
fitting promotion. and will be pleasing
to the Democrats througho ut the
state at large as well as in Baltimore
city.

In the death of Beriah wilkins. edl-
tor and owner of the Washington Post,
journalism has received severe blow,
and tile city of Washington has lost
on of its most progressive and useful
citizens. During his three terms in
the u. S. House of Representatives,
he was the exponent of the protective
tariff party of the Democracy, and
served as chairman of the committee
on banks and currency. Mr.. wilkins
was always found on the side of mo-
rality and justice and was one who
had the courage of his conviction"
from his point of view. 1t is to be
hoped that the Washington Post will
be continued and conducted in the
same liberal and judicious manner as
during the life of its late lamented
proprietor.

Peggy Stewart Day. October 10, had
been practically decided upon, but
now someone suggests through Secre-
tary Morton that the date be changed
to September 23. A this time the bri-
gade of midshipmen, numbering near
" one thousand, will be away ON their
vacation. and their absence. together
with the absence of many of the ofli-
GERS mt the Academy would rob the
occasion of much pomp and ceremony.
IL is earnestly hoped the date will not
be changed. but may be the same as
suggested by Governor Warfield.

A Good Baron Munchausen Story.

In connection with old Admiral
Jauregulberry, a writer remembers a
curious incident. At the fight of st.
Jean-sur-Erve, during the retreat on
Laval, the admiral was galloping
along the front, his tall, bony figure
erect, his long gray side whiskers
streaming in the wind, when some
fragments of an exploding shell absO-
lutely decapitated his horse, which,
nevertheless, galloped on quite forty
yards before it fell, the admiral mean
while retaining his seat unmOved,
though he profted by the respite to
free his feet from the stirrups in such
a way that as the horse collapsed he
easily alighted. His only comment, in
response to the congratulations he re-
ceived on his escape was very charac-
teristic "Some people imagine" said
he, that sailors cannot ride. Dun

Of the eccentricities of a few of it's
members. One of the latest of these
is in the form of a church notice
which the colored brethren inserted
in local paper not long ago.
A certain Rev. Mr.. Fessenden had
been dropped by his flock when they
thought they had found better man.
One Sunday the better man was un-
able to preach, so Rev Mr.. Fessenden,
who still resided in the town, was
called upon to fill the pulpit for the
time.
One of the deacons, wishing to make
the change known to the congrega-

local paper, announcing that owing
to Brother Jones' poor health, the pull

Wit OF Great Preacher.

OF all the brilliant preachers Of
modern times no one shone more re-
splendently in conversation than the
eloquent Baptist minister, Robert
Hall. For all whining pietists, for all
oracular utterers of commonplace, all
anglers for praise. in the pulpit or
elsewhere. the great preacher had an
ineffable contempt. One day sickly.
Querulous old man belonging to his
congregation met him in the street
and said: "Ah, Mr.. Hall, you have
never-been to see me. SIR I've-Tve
I've been very i'll; I've been-at
deaths door, Mr.. Hail." why didn't
you step in?" was the quick response.
When asked for advice by q young
man who desired to enter the minis
try, and who gave as reason that he
wished not to bury his talents In
napkin, Hall replied: "Then put them
in q pocket handkerchief. sir; that
will be large enough!"
