SENATOR G0RMAN DEAD.
Beloved Maryland Statesman Sue
eumbs Unexpectedly, Though He
Had Been III Several Months.

Arthur Pue German, United States.
senator from the state of Maryland
with a record Of service of more than
twenty-one years, minority leader Of
that body, and one Of the foremost
democrats of the nation, died at his
home in Washington at 9:05 O'Clock
Monday morning.
. Senator German leaves widow
and six children as follows:
Miss Ada German, Mrs. Wilton j.
Lambert, Mrs. R. A. Johnson, Mrs.
R. w. Hills, all OF Washington; Mrs
Stephen Gambrill of London, Eng
land, who arrived about a week ago.
and Arthur Pue German, Jr., Of Lau-
rel, Nd, a member Of the Maryland
assembly.
While Senator German had been
i'll for many months, he had shown
some improvement lately. Heart trou-
BILE was the immediate cause Of death
Up to the time of his demise, Sen
ator German was conscious. It was
his request that he should be buried
in Oak Hill cemetery, in Georgetown,
just across Rock Creek from Wash
ington, as by the will Of the state Of
Maryland, which has sent him to the
senate, practically his entire public
life has been spent in the national
capitol. AS the District of Columbia
was originally a part Of Maryland,
his friends feel that his last resting
place should be under the soil Of his
native state, and in place where his
life work was accomplished.
Senator German, in a written re-
quest to Mrs. German, asked that no
state funeral should be held. He said
that he did not wish his body to be
brought to the capitol, as he wanted
his colleagues always to think Of him
as they knew him in life, as an active
senator. There he was always cheer
full and invariably smiling, and it is
regarded as characteristic Of his dis
position that he should desire to be SO
remembered.
Though Senator German had not
been able to attend the session of the
senate since the 10th of January, his
death came as great shock to Wash
ington. That he has been a very Ill
man has been generally known. But
the recent reports from his bedside
gave his friends hopes for his re-:
covery. q

TIE LIVING SEA.

"How like the city is unto the sea;
The mighty wave Of commerce breaks
and beats
In restless sucges through the city
streets.
Swayea by the master tide of energy.
"How many ''areiicts. long morn to morn.
Drift at the mercy OF the wind and
wave
The hotsam and the ietsam OF the pave
Deserted, rudder.ess and tempest-torH.
sHere moves great arsosies with go!d and
ha.es.
Sta"ch s!,ips that dare the cunning cur
"ents' might.
And through sheir lorg procession dart
the light
Swift pleasure craft with sun-embiazoned
sails.
'eYet am T r'in:|ed oniy OF one thing:
How rucl,-how much these smiling
waters drown.
Dear God what wrecks this very day
went down.
Unhsl,ed. ur~:yna'ed acd unS;gna';ng."

Will Gust Black, If Possible.


AS a result Of the action Of John
Black, a member Of the dispensary
board Of directors, in abusing AMI
threatening the life of ]. Fraser Lyon,
a member of the dispensary investiga-
ting committee, several days ago.
Governor Hayward has decided to re-
move Black from Office, providing he
can find law to do SO.
After hearing the arguments Of the
attorneys of Black, Governor Hayward
has notified the attorney general that
it is the intention of the governor to
remove Black from Office if the law
gives him the jurisdiction to do so.
Governor Hayward says that Blacks
conduct is a grave offense against
the peace and dignity of the state,
and his inclination is to- remove Black
from Office as a rebuke for such be-
havior on the part of one holding so
important an office"

Joe Otis Rabbit Hunt.

A few years ago, when Joe OFT, the
well-knowI comedian, was playing a
weeks engagement in Manchester. n.
H, he was the guest of the Moose
Club a good share of the time. Some
body suggested that Joe and his two
brothers accompany some of the boys
on il rabbit hunt.
A party of twelve was organized.
and all were supplied with guns. They
went four miles on trolley car and
then took to the woods. They tramped
for some time. each having expressed
a wish that he might shoot the first
rabbit. Suddenly the dog was heard
to bark, and everyone rushed to the
scene. All was confusion. the guns
were coming up to their shoulders, and
in the most exciting moment Joe was
heard to say. in his droll manner: "All
form a circle and shoot toward the
centre. ."-Boston Herald.

TESTING GEMS.
Detecting Difference Between Artificial
and Real Precious Stones.
Weekly.

Detecting Difference Between Artificial
and Real Precious Stones.
ut has frequently been asserted"
says a jeweler. that there are certain
kinds Of artifcially made gems, in
fact, I believe the statement has been
made to cover all kinds Of such stones,
that it is not only impossible, prac-
tically, for the layman to detect them.
but that even experts are often de-
ceived. This is a mistake. however,
for by the simple light test, any gem.
except a pearl, may be proved false or
real by the veriest tyro at such an
undertaking.
II assume that the light test as
regards diamonds is comparatively
we'll known, and this is the same
test that may be applied to emeralds.
rubies and so forth. 1t consists Of
holding the gem directly on a horizon
tai line between the eye and light
held at a distance of about foot
from the stone. and preferably this
light should be a candle. In the case
of a diamond. but one light will be
seen clearly through the stone, where
as, if it is bogus. no matter how much
expert care may have been bestowed
upon it's making. a hundred lights may
be observed, none of them clearly de.
fined
with other gems the best method Of
making them is by superimposing a
top cutting Of garnet on base. often
mere colored glass. When it is held
between the light and eye. therefore.
this line Of jupcture. impossible Of
detection under ordinary circum-
stances, will appear like a black line.
That's just how simple it is to detect
fake stones of any kind except pearls.
and with these. 1 confess. it is hard
to make a detection without tests that
are not convenient for layman to
undertake. AS rule, however, pearl
OF generous proportions and exception
ally good color is always open to sus-
picion."-St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

Not That Kind of SUITE.

A dilapidated person rang West
Philadelphia doorbell and asked the
lady of the house, a lawyers wife.

"Go to see my husband at his office

idea of coasting the 200 miles to Wash

idea Of cOaSting the 200 miles to WASH
ington.
1T could be DONE" cried Tom. "Mr.
Emmons has made the journey to Bal,
timore more than once. and he says it's
nearly all down. Any one can coast
where there are hills. And he told
me that the long hills would be fine for
coasting. That's what made me think
Of it. Why" he continued. as the
possibilities of his splendid idea
opened up. Il believe l could go that
wa! and beat the coach. People say
it just creeps through the hilly coun.
try in This kind Of weather."
While the others were laughing Mr..
Wynne was thinking. Il believe il
could be done" be said in his decided
voice. Il suppose no one has ever tried
it. but can see that it is practicable.
Starting from the crossroad yonder it
it down hill all the way to Eosburg.
and that is fifteen miles. Then after
YOU climb the next hill there's another
down grade of several miles. and, AS
far as l know the country. this coutin-
TIES. believe one could make the jour-
ney in Il few days. And YOU know it
is four days by the stage
1t could hardly be credited by the
family, but Elias Wynne jeSan to
make ready for his coasting trip to
Washington. He and the older boys
made large, strong sled. His bag
gage was strapped to the front end,
and 4 few days later he said goodbye
to his family and started away. The
sled was placed in the wagon. and
James drove with his father the six
miles to the crossroads. Here Elias
Wynne began his strange journey.
That night he slept at little inn sew
enty miles from home. Elias Wynne's
grandson of to-day, on his bicycle,
would make better time through that
country.
The family and neighhors heard but
few details Of the journey. for Mr..
Wynne would not talk of his own ad-
ventures. This extract from letter to
his wife tells all that he thought wor-
thy of remembrance.
my sled journey ended about twen-
ty miles from Washington. I was as
sured by the innkeeper that it would
not be practicable to go the rest Of the
way. So I waited and took the coach
the next morning. made he journey
in three ard a half days and had no ac-
cident. The going was good, though a
thaw set N the last Gay. I gave the
sled to the inkeepe:'s son. 1t wa a
faithful steed, and I would have liked
to bring i, back. but could not we'll
carry it further"
Then the letter went on to tell the
new Congressman's impressions Of the
august body to which he telonged, and
of the unfinished capital city. The
strange trip passed into family history,
but they could only imagine what the
experience mus: have been.-Christian

Senator Tillman, stumped the dis
pensary investigating committee a
few days ago. He answered all ques-
tions promptly and frankly until Rep
resentative Lyon began to insist on
his repeating rumors and jokes. He
said he had heard about dispensary
officials getting rebates and gratis.
"1'll be damned if will repeat idle
rumors that there may not be any
thing in," he answered in a burst Of
temper when pressed for an answer.
"You can 60 ahead and send me to
Jail for contempt, but III be damned
if I'll answer your questions"
Mr.. Lyon then turned the witness
ever to the committee and the chair
man excused him.
Answering other questions as to
why his railroad got the bulk OF the
dispensary freight business, Mr..
Childs said he supposed it was be-
cause his railroad was the only Till
mantle railroad in the state and he
was a friend and supporter Of Till
man.
Afterward It was announced from

been summoned to show cause before

ruled for contempt.

Citizens Plan to Build Road.
The business men of Rockhill met
a few days ago and decided that the
only way to obtain connection with
the Seaboard railroad is to build that
connection, and that it should be done.
The capital which the Rockhill Rail-

connection is s125,O00. There were
subscriptions made in the meeting for
s65,0GO and part of the money paid
il. It is calculated that there will be
no difficulty in the matter of right
of way between Rockhill and Spen-

There will be junction with the road
now being built from the great falls
