SUCCESS.


The stoutest ship may breast the gale
And still be driven back.
What though to reach the port she fail,
Shall we declare she could not sail
Because she had to tack?
When storms belate and plaques impede.
When aches and ills betide,
Ambitions goal may not be won. &
Yet hast thou bravely, nobly done
If thou hast bravely tried. !
"He nobly does who nobly dares''
When trials sore Cypress.
Whose perseverance naught can shake,
Though failure follows in his wake,
His failure is success.
The fiercest battles are to fight,
The strongest forts to scale.
Sometimes the bravest heroes fall,
Sometimes the truest lives of all
Are lived by ones who fail.

SENATORS ELECTED
JOHN WALTER SMITH AND
WIN. PINKNEY WHITE.

Remarkable Unanimity of Sen
timent and a Fine Triumph
for the Former.
In the presence of the Governor
of Mary land and many represen-
tatiye citizens from all over the
State John Walter Smith and
William Plnkney Whyte were
declared elected United States
Senators from Maryland for the
long and short term, respectively,
by the Legislature, assembled in
joint convention in the Cham Der
of the House of Delegates on
Wednesday. Immediately after
ward Gen. Marray Vandiver, for
the fifth consecutive time, was
chosen Treasurer of Maryland.
While the election of Senator
Whyte is a splendid tribute to
him, his absence from Annapolis.
his remOteness from political strife
aud the utter lack of opposition to
him in the Senatorial primaries
combined to rob his selection Of
any excitement. and the events
leading up TO the declaration that
he is chosen to serve the State in
the United States Senate until
March 4, 1900, pal took almost of
a routine nature.
AS the Correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun puts it:
1t was different with the cleo
ton OF Ex-Governor Smith. His
victory came as the elimination
of years of struggle. during which
more than once he had been de
feated. He accepted defeat with
out murmuring, his friends
throughout Mary land remained
loyal when fortune frowned as
well as when she smiled, and to-
day came the fruition of their de-
sire when he finally gained the
goal for which he has aimed and
with it a position of practically
undisputed leadership within his
party organization. He was the
hero Of the day. His friends in
and out OF the Legislature burst
into enthusiasm when the declar-
alton was made, and this enthusi.
assn remained undated through
out the day, and tonight they are
celebrating at Carvel Hall and
slsew here in the city. The Sena-
tor elect himself was here and
modestly received the congratula-
tons of his hundreds of devoted
friends and followers who came to
Annapolis to witness his Triumph.
The usual proceedings were
gone through with. A large mum
Der of prominent Maryland politi.
clans were present. zs
At the conclusion of the rOllcall
the Speaker ANNOUNCED that John
Walter Smith had received Sc
votes and John g. Motter OF
Frederick county, SO votes; that
as John Walter Smith had
received majority of all those
present and voting, he now de.
clared him elected to the United
States Senate.
Crothers, who four years ago,
was one of the warmest of ex-
Governor Smiths supporters, left
his seat in the House and went to
the Executive offices, where he
found Colonel Smith. and the two
men shook hands with degree of
warmth that showed their friend
ship.
The tribute paid by the minor
ity to Judge Motter of Frederick
was a timely recognition Of his
many services to the Republican
party, and shows how well he is
regarded outside of his own
county. He is one of the shrewd-

however, were his utterances as
TO the responsibility resting upon
the members OF the House and
Senate to carry out fully and
completely the pledges made by
the Democratic party in its State
platform last August and in the
campaign that followed.
1.-THE present OCCASION, he said
''brings with it responsibilities $
of the greatest weight and mo-
ment. We who now are about
to conduct the Legislative and
Executive branches Of the gov
eminent have assumed, under the
most solemn sanctions, obliga-
,iOns to the people of the State
40 definite, so important, so
pressing in their character that,
as Marylanders aud as public
officials. it would be unpardon-
able recreancy upon our part to
fail in the discharge of any of
them. Urgent and grave as
these responsibilities are upon
the Executive, | cannot but feel
thai they are still more 80 upon
the Legislative department of the
government.
1T is upon you, gentlemen of
the Senate and of the HOusa of
Delegates, that the duty of full
filling scrupulously, faithfully,
fearlessly and to the letter the
great pledges upon which we
were ali elected by the people to
our respective offices primarily
falls and substantially rests. 1t
is for you not merely to take the
initiative in making good these
pledges, but it is for you to put
them in the substantive form of
public statutes. And after your
wise and patriotic deliberations
have so formulated them il will
merely remain for me to attach
an official appreciation to what
you, AS the sovereign law making
power, shall have actually done.
1t is to you, therefore, that the
people aud l, as their Executive,
must mainly look for the fulfill
meDt of the most important du-
ties to which we have publicly
plighted our troth.
"Let no one of us make light
of these obligations. Let each of
us guard himself as personally
responsible for their literal full
fillment, and let us one and all
resolue, so far as strength and
ability are given us, to let moth
ing stand in tho way OF the en-
actment of all public measures,
which, individually and as mem
bers and candidates of the Dem
ocratic party, we promised to the /,
people before they elevated us TO
the high honor OF serving them"

When the Almanac Originated.

The origin of the word almanac" is
derived from the Arabic words al and
manah-to count-and thus aptly APP
plies to the measurement of time Al
MANAGES in ancient days were employ
ed by the Alexandrian Greeks, but it is
uncertain when they were actually in
troduced into Europe.
In 1850 A. D. Solomon Jarchus pub
lished an almanac, but the first print
ed one was brought out in Vienna in
1857 by the great astronomer Purbach.
The most celebrated almanac maker
was the dabbler in magic, Nostrada-
mus, and since his time almanacs with
predictions have been in vogue, and
their weather lore and pictorial proph-
ecies have invariably appealed to a
large number of people who are apt to
put answering belief in the cryptic
remarks of Zadkiel and Old Moore.

What a Woman Must Do to Win His
Admiration.
The woman that man admires must
not be masculine and yet be brave and
active. never moping and languid.
She must be frolicsoTne, but never
reckless. She must be saucy, but new
er sarcastic.
she must be witty, but never rude.
Above all, she must be strong, robust
and healthy
Always ready is she to do whatever
man suggests and to go anywhere he
ff ncies, not too ready, however, with
her own suggestions and desires.
But-and here is the real man-she
must have all these suggestions, abso-
iutely without flaw, hidden away in
the recesses of her mere feminine
brain.
She must smuggle the ideas over into
the mans mind in some telepathic way
SO cleverly that he will glory in being
the first thinker.
Woman must wear the short skirt
and shirt waist when occasion de-
mands and have a disdain for frillS
and ruffies. but these same furbelows
must be forthcoming at the evening
function, else my lord is highly dis
pleased.
The damsel must firt without seem
ing to do so and must hear a lot of
pretty things which, if necessary, must
be forgotten Immediately. Yet may

Tempting, yes; wise, no.
For, as a rule, we are so keen in the

that the temptation to paint with a
big brush is almost irresistible.
And Iater-weil, later probably we
find that there were extenuating cir

London, awaited myself on the morn :

Of calling on Mr.. Bryan, and found

the same great American that we have

perhaps slightly more grave than OF
yore, very giant in intellect and
body. He was keenly interested in
West Virginia AFFAIRS and spoke With
accuracy of our local political condi-
tions, referring particularly to our late
effort to wrest the State Government
from the hands of the trust serving
Republican machine. His visits to
West Virginia in general and Nor.
gan's Grove in particular, seemed to
have left most pleasant impressions.
His views on party politics in the
main seemed to be that while tariff

mental Democratic doctrine, that il
should not be made permanent is

been found, and the experiments now
proceeding are therefore along the sec
ond line; the controlling of the dust
by various methods of spraying and
by the nse of binder materials. In
some sections, especially through the
great frat belts of California, splendid
success in dust suppression has been
attained by spraying the dirt roads
with oils possessing asphaltic bases.
In other portions of the country the
wise administering of coal tar prepa-
rations has aided to great extent;
and drenching with calcium chloride
has shown that the dust can be kept
at minimum. Those methods, how
ever, ara not perfect solutions of the
vast problem of road maintenance and
dust suppression. They are merely
palliatives, and while they are being
advocated in such sections of the coun-
try as will be Immediately benefited,
the bigger problem of discovering an
associate antidote for the action Of the
automobile is occupying the attention
of scientists on both sides of the ATTAIN
tic. The solution Of that problem may
be given at the big Congress at Paris
in the fall, or it may be discovered be-
fore; possibly on this side of the west
ern ocean, possibly in the lands where
good roads were known when America
was in its swaddling clothes.
