geon's Medical School, Washington
His Excellency remembered the Doctor at
once, and recalled the game OF foot ball
on the polo grounds i'll New York, when
this young physician of Hartford made
national record. Mr.. Roosevelt, as 1T
was then, was a recent graduate of Har-
ward, and took keen interest IN the
struggle between the foot ball teams OF
Princeton and Yale.
Mr.. Joseph w. Chamberlain says
that we failed to recount all OF the eX-
periences that the youthful bride and
groom of near mis- place had undergone,
as there had been another postponement
of the wedding on account of the groom
losing his wedding suit, which was
burned up i'll a fire. However, Havre de
Grace's city solicitor is happy to record
that all obstacles have been overcome
and the wedding is now a matter OF
history. While he properly refused to
give the names of the contracting parties
he does not prohibit our readers from
guessing.

Mr.. Charles A. Andrew, of Hartford
county, the chairman of the COMMITTEE
on Claims, was the recipient of a hand
some gold watch, chain and fob. pur-
chased by his associates, both Democrats
and Republicans, on the Claims Com
mittee. Mr. Andrew is one of the most
popular men in the House, as we'll as one
of it's most useful members. His record
has been straight and clean throughout
two sessions and no stronger and more
consistent supporter ofthe Hannah Oyster
bill has ever sat in the Legislature. Mr..
Andrews JOY at the final passage of this
measure today was nconhned.-Balti-

The execution of Isaac Winder, at
Towson. on Friday, was attended by
number of scenes and incidents that were
unfortunate. Since that time, the negro
preacher Amis has been parading the
body around Baltimore, making martyr
of the executed murderer, and creating
dangerous condition among this ignorant
class of our population. Certainly COM
mon decency ought to step in and hush
has made too much of hero of this as
sassin, and it is feared that the effect OF
his summary punishment is practically
lost upon those who might in the future
commit such crimes.
The cartridges that were received in
Bel Air some weeks ago. have nearly all
been liberated by their owners. Mr..
Henry w. Archer had particularly bad
luck with the dozen that he purchased.
The little visitors were put into box,
which was supposed to be partridge
proof, but unfortunately there was hole
in one corner, and all but two escaped.
In getting these out, one more was hber-
ated, so Mr.. Archer decided to let the
single bird go with the rest. Since then,
they have been coming up to his place
for food, which is distributed to them
regularly. They are not very wild, and
spend each night near his house.

of catalogue of the Dread Institute, of
which Mr.. Henry D. Perky is presi-

motto of which is 1--WE Learn To Do By
Doing" Opportunities for practical
education are given 10th boys and girls
