In Difference to the wishes of the

ious to retain his services, DR.. Ar,
thur T. Neale has decided to accept
the new position rendered him by
the trustees of Delaware College,

Our Congressional Situation.

Here is the way it looks to the Wash
ington correspondent of Bryan's Com
moner, in writing of the Congressional
conditions in this District
about the sorest republican in the
entire state of Maryland is VIM. H. Jack
son, who for two terms, represented in
the house here what is known as the
Eastern Shore district. At the election
two years ago he was defeated by Thos
A. Smith, democrat. Jackson entered
contest for the seat, but even a republican
elections committee could not give him
the seat. They want more testimony.
Jackson used to be an ardent democrat.
He bolted ten years ago and finally Ian
ded right into the republican camp. He
is a very rich man and has spent money
freely to control the district. Strange to
relate he is brother and a partner in
business of that staunch old democrat,
Ex-Governor E. E. Jackson. The latter
fights his brother in redhot fashion every
time he tries to break into congress, and
IS lOokSu upon as one OF tle tIueSt ueuo-
Gratis in the land. 1t is said that ex-Gov-
ernor Jackson will be candidate for the
senate when the next Maryland Legis-
lature meets"
"'Bill' Jackson, as they call him down
in his part of the country, will be COM
PEELED to run again for the house this
year. Reports from the district are that
a million dollars, were he to turn loose
that much cash, could not again put him
in congress. Thomas A. Smith the demo
cratic representative, has greatly streng
thened himself this session by looking
out for legislation in which his constit-
uents are deeply interested, and besides,
the republican elections committee have
practically repudiated Jackson"

Big times are expected on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland during the coming
Congressional campaign, says the News,
as Mr.. William H. Jackson, whom the
Republicans will name as their candidate
to oppose Mr.. Thomas A. Smith. the
Democratic nominee. is said to be deter
mined to win his battle. He was beaten
by Mr.. Smith, on the face of the returns,
two years ago, but has never accepted
this overthrow, having appealed to Re.
publican Congress to seat him, charging
the count was not fair. This action has
not yet been taken by Congress. Mr..
Jackson, however, is said to be determined
to redeem the district himself. and, as he
is well provided with campaign funds,
Eastern Shoremen expect a lively time.

The Democrat thinks it a mistake to
spend $1,000 on improvement to the court
house at Elkton. Says it was a mistake
in 1886 to remodel it and it will be
another error to spend $1,000 in tinkering
with it now. After the proposed I'M
provements are completed and any other
future alterations made, it will always be
the "old court house" Like the jack
knife which was repaired SO many times
that none of the original portions re-
manned, still it was the same old jack
knife.
At the democratic county convention a
year ago resolution prevailed in effect to

A COAT OF ARMS.


How One May BE Acquired For a
Consideration In England.
The practice of granting arms is still
in vogue in England, Ireland, Scotland,
Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ger
many, ETC., and at times the pope, as
sovereign pontiff, exercises the power.
Indeed, it is by patent or grant alone
that new family can legitimately &C
quire a coat of arms.
The modus operandi in England, for
example, is as follows: The applicant
for patent of arms from the CROWN
may employ any member he pleases of
the heralds' college and through him
present a memorial to the earl marshal
Of England, who acts for the crown in
these matters, setting forth that he,
the memorialist, is not entitled to arms
or cannot prove his right to such and
praying that his grace the earl marshal
will issue his warrant to the kings of
arms, authorizing them to grant and
confirm to him due and proper armo-
rial ensigns, to be borne according to
the laws of heraldry by him and his
descendants. This memorial is pre-
scented and a warrant is issued by the
earl marshal, under which patent of
arms is made out, exhibiting a paint
ing of the armorial ensigns granted,
the royal arms of England, the arms of
the earl marshal and those of the col
lege and describing in official terms the
proceedings that have taken place and
a correct blazon of the arms. This pat
ent is registered in the books of the
heralds' college and receives the sigma
lures of the garter and one or both Of
the provincial kings of arms.
A grant or patent Of arms is made to
a man and his male descendants. This
gives him fee simple of them-that is
to say, to him and to his male descend
ants equally and altogether and to his
female descendants in qualified man
ner-i. e., for life, to bear the arms in
a lozenge or impaled with their hus
bands arms Gf the husbands have
arms, as arms can only be brought in
by arms, or, if they be heiresses or CO.
heiresses, ON an escutcheon of pretense
upon their husbands shields, and in
the last case their descendants inherit
such maternal arms, but only as a
Observation-Disclosures Century.
