And testify against him she did with
such relentless vigor that the Judge
held him to answer in the Superior
Court the charge of assault to murder.
Mr.. Miller pleaded that he had been
provoked to the knife play by his bet
ter half's indiscriminate amours, but
the paucity of her personal charms did
not substantiate the plea.

he paid his way into, the theater, and
at the end of the first act went out to
refresh himself by smoking one pill of

AN EXECUTRIX
IS SUSPENDED.

Filed Against Mrs. Ward

keeper Has COnspired to
Loot Estate With Claims
CHARGES OF DAUGHTERS

Judge Trout yesterday suspended
Hattie Ward, the coiored woman, from
her position as executrix OF the estate
of the late j. b. Reinhardt, pending an
investigation into the charges made by
Charlotte Brand and Flora l.. Morton,
daughters of the deceased, in a petition
for the executrixs removal. Otto
Lemcke, co-executor, is now in charge
of the estate and the fight promises
to be a bitter one.
Hattie Ward was Reinhardt's servant
and housekeeper for twenty three
years. 1t is charged that after his
death she and her son-in-law, Benja-
min j. Goldman, a liquor dealer, stole
a certain tin box and appropriated a
$500 note to their own use. Then, it Is
alleged, they entered upon a conspiracy
to loot and blackmail the estate by
false suits and the presentation of
false claims.
The Ward woman, it is declared,
pretended to claim $4,000 for services
as agent for twenty-three years and al
legged that Reinhardt had contracted to
leave her that amount In his will,
whereas he only left her $4,000. So she
made a claim for $4,000, it is said, and
another for $27 600 for services as
housekeeper and assigned both to Benz
jamin j. Goldman & Co. These claims
were presented to her as executor and
she allowed them, but they were re-
jected by Lemcke. The woman is also
charged with having fraudulently OBJ
tanned a check for $4,000, with using the
property of the estate, and with being
ignorant, illiterate and wanting in in
tegrity and moral principle. On these
grounds her removal Is demanded and
the hearing has been set for Febru-
ary 2.
Lemcke says that it Will be proven
that Mrs. Ward was paid for all Of
her services to Reinhardt.

clock, bronze statuettes and floor rugs
which A. Lake sought to recover from

value by the six weeks Of wear and
tear to which they had been subjected
while adorning her apartment in a Mar
ket street lodging-house. The two
statuettes, representing a scantily at
tired young woman and a horse ram
pant, stood upon the bench, and the
two rugs gracefully draped 1t. Mr..
Lake waived claim of damage to the
statuettes, but exhibited the much
worn design of a crimson and blue cat
embroidered in one of the rugs to prove
that the. floor ornaments had received
severe usage.
"Oh, let the human talkin' machine

so the celebrated case was settled.

"COXEY" ENOCHS FELL IN POOL.
Wheelbarrow Slipped in Crossing
Footing and Wayfarer Tumbled

If you see little man, who has
crossed lifes' summit, wearing a red
and white sweater tucked in the top
of his trousers hitched about with an
old suspender and caring for an old
wheelbarrow don't despise him. You
may find him an object of charity.
He is a piece of flotsam that has
floated here from Cumberland having
trundled a wheelbarrow all the way
from the Queen City to Hagerstown
to attend the big fair. Such grit de
serves recognition.
The little man, Col" Charles H..
Enochs, an aforetime resident of Ha-
gerstown. Here he was born, he said,
and his father, whose name the son
bears once conducted City Hotel here
Col" Enochs is the last of his family
He conceived the plan of wheeling
the barrow to Hagerstown hoping
to make a hit. He left home last
Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock and
reached Hagerstown Saturday even
ing covering ninety miles. He was
fOOtsore and weary, but not discour-
aged.
This trip was not without incident.
Following the canal to the Big Pool
the ubiquitous 'Col." had TO cross
the Pool and there almost met his
Waterloo. While pushing his wheel
barrow across the expanse of water on
a telephone pole he got an involun-
tary bath by the barrow slipping
from the pole and the whole outfit
went down. Some ofthe Colonel
equipments were lost and on arriving
here he set to work to restore the
missing parts of his outfit. He turn
ed up this morning none the worse
for his trip and ducking and ready
for business. -Hagerstown Mail.

BYRNE AT THE BAT.

The Hon. George Byrne has needed
the German call of Maryland, my
Maryland, and has repaired across the
border to save the state from negro
domination" He is now engaged in
bringing home to the MarYlanders the
black pail that hangs above them and
the white light that is to be their sal
walton. tits arousement the Mary
landers want nobody can put it on
better than the Bald Eagle of Kama
wha.
Mr.. Byrne is the gentleman whose
sleep has been disturbed by the bogev
black man, and who led the minority
fight for the insertion of a white
mans plank in the Parkersburg con-
vention of the West Virginia Demo-
Gratis last year. 1t was on this occa-
sion that he told the assembled citi-
zenry what he would do if he were
governor of the state.
He told them that he would sling a
Gordon of soldiery around the utter
most precincts of West Virginia and
meet the black invaders with bloody
hands and bullets and welcome them
the colored gentry-to inhospitable
graves. He had his hearers shaking
in terror over their impending fate
unless the Anglo-Saxon soon suppress
ed the AfrO-American
And because Colonel Byrne told the
Democracy what he would do if he
were governor he is now being met
on the highway by a gubernatorial
boomlet which ought to graduate into
a boom if there are really enough
Democrats in West Virginia who take

not on his Bill Nye prototypeness. -

PLANTATION of some section Of the Con
stitution-is not conferred upon cleo
ton officers by any of the Southern
Constitutions now in operation. Of
all the Southern States, the only one
that has in its Constitution an "un-
derstanding clause" is Mississippi;
but the understanding clause of
the Mississippi Constitution differs
radically from that of the Poe amend
ment, for it does not require of a man
who is able to read that he shall also
give an explanation, but permits the
understanding of the Constitution to
take the place of the ability to read
in the case of illiterates. If the Poe
amendment should be adopted, Mary
land would be the only State that
would place upon a man who is able
to read and write the additional re-
Quirement that he satisfy the regis
tration officers by an explanation of a
section of the Constitution. The
Mississippi provision is that the APP
plicant shall ''be able to read any
section of the Constitution of this
State; or he shall be able to under
stand the same when read to him or
give a reasonable Interpretation
thereof"
1t would be interesting to know
what reasonable explanation" the
Poe-Gorman managers can give for
attempting to introduce into the Con-
stitution of this State an arrange
ment by which election officials are
| empowered to disfranchise persons
who can read and write through the
imposition of an additional test which
no Southern State has seen fit to i'm
bed into its Constitutional regulation
of the elective franchise. The thing
is not only fraud upon its face, but
it has not even the poor excuse of be-
ing an imitation of what has been
done somewhere else.

What The Democrats Stand For.

To the Editor of The Republicans:
The Ides of November are rapidly !
approaching when the voters of Gar
rett county will be called upon to go !
to the polls and cast their ballots for
or against the great issue as presented |
by the bosses of the Democratic par
ty.
The recent Democratic convention |
held at Oakland announced as the |
paramount issue the Poe Amendment |
and upon this declaration the Demo
cratic nominees stand. No matter
what their standing may be as men in
their respective communities this fact
stares all good citizens in the face and
the facts cannot he denied that to
elect any of the Democratic nominees
will be an endorsement of that odious
fraud, which the Democratic party
bosses desire to foist upon our people.
There is only one duty for each
man to comply with and that is to
vote the Republican ticket from State
Senator to Surveyor.
Not that the Democratic party has
nominated some good men, but from
the fact that they are the defenders
of the Poe Amendment.
Why do the voters Of Garrett count
have ballot presented to them from
which the party designation is remoy-
ed? Is ii on the account of the great
number of negroes found within the
confines of our noble county?
Why does the party designation re-
main on the ballots in our sister coun-
tv of Alleganv when she has within
her boundary lines twenty negroes to
every one that is found in Garrett
county? Will some of the leaders of
the Democracy in Garrett county eX-
plain to our people? Or is it on ac-
count of the negroes who live in
Charles county that such restrictions
are placed upon US? Or is it for any
other reason that there is more intel
ligence in Garrett county than in any
other county of our State? And where
the greatest amount of intelligence is
found is where the Republican ma
jorities are the greatest.
Why do men who move into our
county from adjoining states who
live here year after year, pay taxes
and are law abiding citizens be com

with the object of improving and in

In MARYLAND ONLY.

The special popularity of the So
called education claaseN of the Poe
amendment is that ability to read al
write is, on the one hand, not necex-
SGry in order to secure the right ct
suffrage, and on the other hand it is
not Sufficient. Though man be
able to read and write as well as you
please, he is not entitled to registra-
ton unless he also satisfies the regis
trars of his ability to give a reason
able explanation of any section of the
Constitution they may choose to set
before him. On the other hand, if he
is quite unable to read, he may still
be registered if these officers declare
that he has given a reasonable expla-
nation of the section they have chos-
en- for him. The language of the led
ucation clause" of the Poe amend
ment is as follows:
A person able to read any section
of the Constitution of this State sub
mitted to him by the officers of regis
tration and to give a reasonable ex-
PLANTATION Of the same; or if unable
to read such section is able to under
stand and give a reasonable explana-
tion thereof when read to him by the
registration officers;
1t is most singular fact that the
extraordinary power here granted to
the registrars-the power to keep
away from the polls a man who is not

to become citizens of our county?
when to all intents and purposes
they have long since become citizens.
By the beauties of the election law
in district number Nine twenty five
per cent of the voters of this district
are denied the rights of suffrage and
not a negro in the district. Why is
this done? And this from the party
that proclaims from tie housetops
the principle of equal rights to all
and special privileges to none"
Oh, Liberty! what sins are commit
ted in thy name?
The Democrats as well as the Re-
publicans of district number Nine will
join the mighty protest on the seventh
of November and cast their ballots
against such base fraud as intended
to be perpetrated upon all good citi-
Zens.
In conclusion we will say continue
to heap upon us all the indignities
you can devise and we will answer by
increased Republican majorities.

NO OPPOSITION LEFT.

President Roosevelt is playing hav-
oc with the opposition political par
ties. The Democrats and the Pro
hibitionists had hard work last fall
to hold their voters in line to keep
them from voting for Roosevelt, and
he polled a plurality of $500, 600 votes.
Since his election last November he
has grown still stronger with the peo-
pie. Here we have Democratic ora
tors and Prohibition orators on the
stump in Pennsylvania paying high
tribute to President Roosevelt. And
the same is true in other states. Up
in Connecticut a Democratic mayor
named Thayer has been nominated
for congress, in a special election, and
he has just issued a letter in which
he says he will ask no voter to vote
for him, but if elected he will do his
best to serve the people faithfully,
