Miss Candace never forgot the way
the command flashed upon her. She had
finished her frugal Sunday dinner, and
her tiny house being In immaculate
Sunday order, she sat down by the
window, as she always did, to read her
three chapters She always read the
Bible through in order, but II must be

epistles were difficult duty. Now she
had come to Matthew again, and was

exclaimed
But having thought of 1t, she never
questioned the matter. The only prob

enough oil to burn till 10 O'Clock every |

O'Clock would be long enough, 1t was so
seldom that anybody passed at night.
SO her duty began, and MS the weeks
passed, the lighting OF her lamp became

One day the minister's wife called,
and learned about the light, and the
tears came to her eyes as she listened.

Five years later Miss Candace died.
In all those years she had kept her
lamp lighted, although, so far as she
knew, nobody had ever needed It, She
had never thought to Inquire about that
part of 1t.

Halloween Party.

Witches, fairies and elves presided over
the future destinies of score of fair
damsels when the members of the Wom-
ans Club and their friends met at the
hospitable home of Miss Elsie Grimes on
Thursday night. AS the guests entered
the door a weird figure in black pointed
silently upward. At the upper landing
of the hall stood ghost in white who
piloted them to the dressing room. On
entering the parlor they were greeted by
a red domino who extended to them
marble hand and made them welcome in
pantomne. After recovering from the
shock, the company noted the decorations
of the room, which were unique and at
tractive. The wall were banked with
corn and ornamented with autumn leaves.
Subdued lights shone from pumpkin Ian
terms and the open CRATE fire. A tub for
apple bobbing stood in one corner, while
over the doorway was suspended the ear
of red corn which at Halloween takes the
place of the mistletoe. The traditional
witch with a broomstick held the for
tunes of all present, which were later
chosen and proved more or less satisfac-
tory. Games, fortune telling, music, etc,
served to pass the evening agreeably,
and all were surprised to find it so late,
when at eleven O'Clock, dainty supper
was served. The festivities concluded
with the witches dance, when all the
guests circled round bowl which blazed
with weird light and cast a ghostly
glare ever everyone.
BY unanimous vote it was decided to
make the Halloween celebration an an
nual one by the club, and at the witching
hour of midnight 1.-THE party" mended
their way homeward with many pleasant
memories of the evening.

Out of the 555 ballots cast here
there were 90 spoiled; IS Republican,
6 Democrat and that could not be
classed as either Republican or DEM
ocratic tickets.
The full Republican ticket in Fred
erick county has been elected, major
tiles ranging from 400 to 1900.
The Baltimore Sun of Wednesday morn
ing says:
From returns obtainable at 2 o'clock
this morning from the cities and counties
it is indicated that the Democrats have
carried the State and elected Judge Croth-
ers Governor.
There is also every indication that the
rest of the State ticket will win and that
there will be Democratic majority in
the Legislature, which will mean the
election of Senator William Pinkney
Whyte and ex-Gov. John Walter Smith,
for the short and long term United States
Senatorships, respectively.
Mr.. Isaac Lobe Straus has been cut in
the city and may have run behind in a
number of counties. 1t is not thought,
however, this will be sufficient to elect
his opponent, Mr.. Urner, and there seems
no question as to the election of DR..
Joshua W. Herring, the candidate for
Comptroller and Mr.. c. G. Magruder,
the candidate for Clerk of the Court of
Appeals.
1t is impossible to forecast with any
degree of accuracy the plurality at this
time because of the extreme slowness
with which the returns are being re-
ceived.
While Gather leads on the city vote
so far, the precints reported are chiefly
Republican by natural utilization. In the
State the indications are that the Demo-
cratic counties are giving substantial

President Cleveland called the atten-
ton of Congress to the fact that hun
dreds of colored people had placed
their deposits with the bank under
the impression that it was a govern
ment institution, and recommended
that Congress should pay all claim
ants the losses sustained by them.
AS that was never done, the PROPOSE
ton now is to have the money lost
by the colorcd people appropriated
for the aid of colored industrial
schools.
At the War Department we are in
formed that certain reforms have been
determined upon in order to make
things more attractive for the enlist
ed men. Congress will be asked for
money for the men, but the Depart
mrnt will endeavor to correct some
conditions causing complaints by ex-
erting executive authority. One OF
the principal causes of dissatisfaction
among the men, 1T is claimed has
been the practice of issuing toilet ne
cessities prescribed by army regula-
tons and taking the cost off OF the
enlisted mans first months pay.
This would set him back s6 or 81,
and it is believed to be the reason
that assertions have been numerous
among men who have served only a
month.
General Oliver, acting Secretary OF
War, has issued an order providing
that the soldier shall receive his first
razor, tooth brush, soap and similar
articles without cost to him, but that
thereafter he must keep his toilet kit
supplied. 1t is estimated that the
change will cost the government only
about 100000 a year. Another re-
form will provide that the daily gym
nastics shall be only thirty minutes
in duration instead of an hour and
that they shall be fixed at time other
than Immediately following drill du-
ty. The weekly marches also have
been ordered dispensed with, and
hereafter the men will take their
hikes" once a month only. Still
another recommendation that will be
made will be in the nature OF i'm
proving the rations. Gen. Oliver in
tends, also, to limit the character OF
work that must be done around army
posts by the enlisted men, as it is not
at all of character that should be
performed by soldiers.
