CANS TO CARE FOR DIXON

little incident which shows fight
er has virtue other than his ability
to take or give hard blow. Men
who went out of their way few
years ago to speak to George Dix
on, the great colored champion,
now pass him on Sixth avenue
without nodding. He doesen't
recognize them as friends of his
affiuent days, and as not a dollar
of the thousands he earned in the
ring cling to him now, he is shun-
ned by men who shared his pros
perity in the old days. But he
has one staunch friend-Joe Cans.
the present lightweight champion
and as wonderful a fighter as Dix
on was in his time.
Dixon has been regarded as an
object of puglistic charity for some
time. AS long as he could fight
at all he made money but though
he is comparatively young man
now, his strength has been sapped
add he cannot make a respectable
showing against a third -rater. His
afluence departed with hi fighting
ability, and for several years he
has been living on an income that
would not equal his tips in other
days. At the McGovern benefit
last winter Dixon got a thunderous
welcome and small share of the
proceeds. Since them he has not
been given many thoughts or pres
ents by his old admirers.
But Cans, himselfa a colored war
rior, says that Dixon will not round
out his life in want as long as he

champion has purchased a hotel
in Baltimore with some of the
money he has earned in the ring
and he is now looking for Dixon.
Cans intends to retire and he says
the two champions will soon be to-

to make Dixon head bar keeper.
His duties will be light. All that
will be expected of him is his pres
ence as drawing card for the men

as they do by Cans now. He will
allow them to buy drinks for him,

afraid of him baking at a good
turn and at the same time earn 4

A SPOT ON MARYLANO's HISTORY

In the lynching of the negro, James
Reed, for shooting Policeman Daugherty
at Crisfeld, this State, there is another
blackened page in Maryland history
The white population there became
frenzied with anger and kicked the ne
gro to death and the next day burned
his body to ashes
While there seems to be some justice
in Furnishing man in this way FOR
shooting a policeman in the hack, yet
the lynching must be condemned by all
peaceful and law-abiding citizens of our
State, because it took the law in its
own hands, and because it OVERRIDE all
law and government. The law should
take its course. Law is supreme or not
supreme. If it is not supreme, and mob
rule is higher, then everyone must be
on the lookout for his own life No
mans life is safe, if mob rule is to
reign, its judgments and executions be-
ing too hasty to be just and wise.
Furthermore, judgment and execution
by a frantic crowd is direct violation of
republican government principles The
majority Of the people in this republic
are the true rulers, and through their
representatives are the laws made and
equitably executed. And when a mob
of a few hundreds get together and
inspired by the ruler of the lower regions
concoct some horrifying methoe to tor
ture and put to death some other citi-
zen, there is a direct violation of the
principles upon which this government
is founded, the principles that the ma
jority should rule, and that the law
should take its course And if the fun
damental truths are wholly disregarded,
whereunto shall we dragged?

Story of an Italian Girl Who Seized

This talented young professional Of
Italian birth and American tutelage,

pupils and friends in the Miller family

for future abode in the United States
where, after a preliminary education
wisely supervised, she matriculated in
the New England Conservatory, Bos-
Here the dawn of her natural and bril-
liant gifts opened into their fuller day
and won for her diploma of graduation
in that famous seat of musical learning.
Subsequently, she filled a position in
St. Mary's Seminary, St Mary s county,
Marylane, which position was relinqui-
shed to eccept one of added Importance
and weightier responsibilities as direc-
tor Of the vocal department in the Hall

content with the graces and acquire

she re-crossed the seas to her native
home in Italy, and further pursued her
studies with such Italian masters as
Sig. Panzaui, of the Royal Conservatory
of Florence
Having acquired distinction in the
fields of her choice in two hemispheres

to the high merit awarded her by popu-
lar estimate in the domain of song.

ing could demonstrate more strikingly
the strength which Mr.. Gathers can
didacy would give to the Republican
party. His standing in Baltimore is of
a unique character, and he is held in the
highest esteem throughout the State.
He is man who combines the shrewd-
ness and geniality of the success
full practical politician with the highest
standards of upright, energetic and eff
flcient public service. He commands
an extraordinary following among indie
pendents. whether of Republican or
Democratic utilization, and at the same
time is thoroughly liked by the regulars
in his own party. Against not only an
Objectionable Democratic candidate,
but against auy candidate, who would
be classified as a colorless man or
weak man or a Bourbon, Mr.. Gather
would make a campaign that would
simply sweep the State. Among his
other qualifications, it may be noted, he
is rafting good campaign speaker.
If he went in for the Governorship, it
would be with view to taking hold of
the Office with vigor and achieving big
and substantial results for the State
during his four years at Annapolis; and,
what is more, everybody in the State
would have a very good chance to I'M
derstand this long before the campaign
was over. If the Democratic party
wants to elect its candidate for Governor
with George Gather to contend against,
it will have to put up man who, in
point of ability, character and force, is
match for his opponent

County.

There is very little being said through
out the State of Maryland as to who
must be the candidate this fall for the
Governorship of the Republican ticket
There seems to be a '''feelin' good and
sayin' nothin - throughout the party.
The Convention Is to be held within
few days, on August 14th, and if there
is anyone in the State trying to secure
the nomination, he must be working
rather quietly, too quietly even to be
felt. There are only a few names
mentioned for the nomination and these
are not pushed before the people.
The Democrats, however, are dis
cussing for the gubernatorial chair the
merits of many men. When the proper
time comes, however, the Republicans
will be on hand and will be in good time
to place before the people of Maryland
for their suffrage man whose charac-
ter is Improbable and who is known
throughout the State for his integrity.
Those whom the people send to select a
nominee will do the work when they get
there and the selecting of a candidate
Will not all have been done beforehand
at the so-called Glove feasts," which
now are so much in fashion in the fami-

come to the relief of the Republicans

ALL ON THE BAND WAGON.

After the smoke Of battle has cleared
away in Allegany county, it is seen that
Lloyd Lowndes stands forth as the VIC
tor Of the baltic. The great landslide
in his favor was unlocked for even by
the most hopeful friends of the late gov
errors son.
But yesterday, and none were so poor
as to do Lowndes reverence. But today,
his advice is sought and he is looked up
on as one of most prominent and able
political generals in Allegany county.
But yesterday, and many trembled to
whisper his praises; today, hundreds
are rushing pell nell to get upon the
Lowndes band wagon to get a promin-
ent seat and trumpet the praises of
their chief to every passerby.
Such is life One is ahead today and
another tomorrow 1t has ever been
thus since the world began and thus it
ever will be. Stagnation would come if
there were not this rotation in promin-
ent places.
The Republican party as whole, how
ever, in Allegany, is firmly united in the
declaration that it is the best organized
for the management of State and natl
onal affairs. When the election takes
place this fall, Allegany county will be
found high up in the column and will
help nightly in the fight to win Mary
land to Republicanism.
