Nine Patti prefers to sing to a
small circle of friends at her home
rather than to large public audi
ence. Her servants are devoted to
her and to music, and she tells a de-
lightful story of n chef she had at
Crag-yNos. "One afternoon, when
he could not be found in any OF the
usual haunts Of the castle, dis
covered him sitting with white cap
and apron and doing his best to play
Home, Sweet Home on the piano. His
confusion and apologies on my en-
trance were too much for me. I had
n piano sent to his room so that he
might not lack an opportunity for
future practice. "-Tit-Bits.

A few days ago. ex-Gov. Frank
Brown had the tenerity 70 venture
an opinion that IL would be meet and
proper for the Democratic party
Of Maryland to hold les State Con.
ventiOn on the 3lst day Of July. Civ
ing as q reason that date had proven
time and again an suspicious one
for the Maryland Democracy. I:
seemed 70 US that the ex. Governor
had expressed his opinion modestIy
and with no idea of raising the issue
Of July 81 or bust" But. almost
before the ink was dry on the ex-
Governors interview, Governor
War6eld digs up the Ratchet and
with his war paint on camps on the
trail Of ex Governor Brown and OF
all others who believe in an early
convention.
In its inception. the controversy
seems to us TO nave been the out
come Of jumping at conclusions and
q tempest in teapot. But il speed
lily developed into display OF tenn
per and examinations and recrimiua-
tions.
There should be no quarrels be-
tween Democrats because OF opinion
on points OF party policy, but full
recognition of each man 8 right 70
think for himself and think hisown
thoughts, and the sooner such rights
are recognized by all Democrats,
high or low, the better it will be
for the party. This business OF
jumping on a Democrat because l. Q
expresses an opinion that may not
coincide with the ideas Of some other
Democrat cannot be too strongly
reprehended. No one man is the
custodian OF the opinions and judg-
ment OF the party, and the would be
leader who arrogates to himself the
right of thinking for his fellows, is
riding for a fall.
What would be the good of pri-
maries at all If they are not for inter
change of opinion and for finding out
what is the judgement of the major
ity on points at issueP And when
the judgment is honestly recorded,
abide by it. Or. if you have no In
tention of abiding by the judgment
do not submit your contention to
the tribunal OF the people for ad.
Indication.
The State Central Committee al
its meeting today should carefully
consider the arguments pro and cor
for an early convention and seek tc
reach a conclusion that will be for
the best interests Of the party 10 the
State, and not consider the whims
of any man.

proportions Of an international Incl
dent because the man who suffered
was Alsxjandro Garland, secretary
Of the Peruvian Legation. The af-
fair occurred at night on the street
In front Of q prominent apartment
house. The cause Of the discussion
was . woman. and the aggressor In
the encounter was Charlie" Ed

scarce, but 10 appears that Garland
was seriously stabbed and Is still

hood where he was taken for treat

the time being. A. prosecution
will be apt 10 bring 10 light many
unpleasant things. The affair is
likely 70 have deterrsnt effect for
some time on some Of the younger
Legation men who are very much In
the habit OF making themselves OBJ
vious on the horizon and who have
10 Q number Of instances in the past
gotten into local trouble over similar
cases. There could be q good many
stories told Of similar rows, some Of
them OF Tenderloin origin aud some
involving Washington girls. An
under-secretary Of the Mexican Leg
alton before the mission was raised

the secretary Of q congressman one
night, but never got q chance to
shoot him. There was q brief but
fervid mix up and the leRationer was
an Emergency Hispital case for two
weeks. There was another case
when four Of the BLACK and Tans",
as the South American contingent
are sometimes slightinRly referred
TO, were having o very noisy supper
10 the cafe OF prominent hotel here.
They were discussing Washington
women in Spanish in none to COM
plimentary terms. Sitting at the
next table there was young Ameri-
can mining engineer with consider
able interests in Chilli. Naturally,
he understood Spanish, but he paid
no attention to the diplomatic party

knew were pointedly brought into
the conversation. Al that he walk

or their dress suits. both OF which

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Corresspon

FrOm Our Regular Corresspondent.l
Washington d. c., May 20, 1907.
These be bad times for diplomats
in Washington to all appearances.
Scarcely was the excitement over
about the sheriff shooting at the
secretary of the German Embassy
on the Conduit road outside the city
when another secretary OF legation
was stabbed and almost killed by q
prominent Washington politian. The
case OF the German secretary, Count
Won Radowitz, was not serious. He
was speeding his automobile along
the Conduit road, on the outskirts
OF Washington when he was order
ed to halt by the sheriff for violat-
ing the speed limit. He refused to
stop. and the sheriff, after chasing
him on a bicycle, dismouuted and
shot ut the tires Of the machine.
This brought the diplomat up short,
very angry and insulted. and his
feelings were not soothed by being
placed under arrest and threatened
with $50 fine by the mayer of Glen
Echo. the little hamlet whose re-
gulations he had violated. Ofcourse,
the country sheriff did not know
who the German was and had no
right to arrest him, as diplomats,
no matter what their offenses, are
immune from arrest in the country
to which they are accredited. For
NAL complaint about the affair has
been lodged at the State Department
by the German Ambassador, and il
will result in some sort of a call down
for the Glen Echo officials. At the
same time it is likely that o counter
complaint will be made by the State
Department to several of the minis
ters and ambassadors, as their at
taches are very much in the habit
OF depending on their diplomatic
immunity to violate all sorts of small
police regulations, This is espec-
tally true in the matter OF speeding
their automobiles. Many OF the
younger attaches of the diplomatic
crops seem to delight in violating
this law and even going so far as to
sass" the policeman who has the
temerity to stop them. OF course.
all the Washington police under.
stand about the inviolability of q
diplomat from arrest, and they have
to simply grin and bear il.
The stabbing case was much more
serious. Col. Edwards disappeared
for two days, but was afterward ar
rested on charge of deadly assault.

citizens, il would have been simplv

NOT a CANDIDATE.
from the Baltimore Sun.)
ANNAPOLIS. Md, May 20.
"Messrs. Editors:

u1aI
Messrs. Editors:
In your issue of December 20
last you suggested, editorially,
why Not Renominate Governor
Warfield. and cordially commended
my administration.
Since then many OF my personal
and political friends have urged me
to become q candidate for re-elec-
ton.
I'm reply to their solicitations
have invariable said that / could
not become a candidate and that
would At the proper time make this
announcement to the public.
The time has arrived. and now
announce, through the columns OF
The Sun, that / never have been,
am not now and will not under any
circumstances be a candidate for
reelection.
The controlling ambition OF my
life. politically, was to become Gov
ernor OF my native State. That am.
bition has been fully gratified, and
l have endeavored TO show my ap-
probation OF the distinguished hon
or conferred upon me by my party
and the people OF Maryland by doing
my administrative work in an open
business way, without fear, favor or
partiality.
Il have also tried to live up to the
pledge l made during my canvass,
that i would not use the power and
patronage OF the great Office of Gov.
ernor 70 promote my own political
fortunes or the political fortunes or
ambitions Of any other man or CLIQUE
of men,.
And now, having enjoyed the
distinction and prestige of this
high position, am ready TO stand
aside and let some other Democrat
have au opportunity of securing the
honor and enjoying the dignity OF
being Governor Of Maryland.
WANTS DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.
II have always been a loyal Dem
ocrat, and / want my party continu-
ed in power in MARYLAND. In my
judgment, il is best for the State
that IL should be. And | believe
that n party man should contribute
all he can to party union, strength
and success. Especially should
this be the case with the man who
has enjoyed public Office and receiv-
ed honUrs from his party.
The Democratic party will be
continued in power in MARYLAND if
its affairs are conducted IA an open
and fair way and everv Democrat is
given an opportunity Of taking part
in making nominations.
The recent municipal election in
Baltimore resulted in o victory for
the Democrats, because the masses
OF the party made nominations.
u am deeply interested in ex-
tending the metaod of direct nomina-
tons and in facilitating in every
way possible the popular will in the
selection Of party candidates.
Therefore | want to see the
State convention postponed until
after the nominating elections are
held in Baltimore under legalized
primaries.
