who constitute the Board OF Public
Works. concluded not 10 sell at less
than par and therefore rejected the
bid OF the New York firm
The bonds bear interest at the rate
of 3l5 per cent per annum, and are
free from taxes of every description.
In view of the high credit OF the state.
having no state debt at all, these
bonds ought to be very attractive in
vestment especially for Maryland
people.
We understand that the Board OF
Public Works. having the right to sell
at private sale. would be glad to see
the people Of this state invest in these
bonds. They are in all respects a
giIt-edged security and worthy the
consideration of the people of our
county and state who have money to

sOUTms BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
on, Gas and Minerals in Unlimited
Quantities.

An article In the manufacturers
Record by DR.. David T. Day says that
the South produces more oil than It
does milk. Area OF oil lands there
aggregates 1900 square miles. or 20
per cent. of the productive oil terri
tory in the United States. But this
territory contributed 72.0O0,O0O bar
rels, or about half OF the entire pro-
duction.
The most active prospecting for
new oil fields is in Oklahoma, LouIsi-
ana and Texas. Expectancy In this
regard centers In southern Louisiana.
indications are that large gas fields
will be developed In northern Texas
and that great prosperity will be ap-
parent here as a result
Az an incident TO the oil business
in Louisiana. and owing their develop
ment to the ingenuity Of the oil pro-
duoer In drilling wells, the sulphur
and salt industries have become Inn
portant, leading the world. Salt OF a
high grade and sulphur are present
In Louisiana 10 such quantities as TO
be classed among the dlfiieulty ex-
haustibIe minerals Of this country.
In View OF these facts and the nat
ural gas and oil fuel ready to hand,
we are justified In expecting the de-
yelopment u great chemical and cleo
tro-chemical industries IN southern
Louisiana, especially sulphuric acid,
soda, eaustic soda. magnesium. bar
lum, etc. Heretofore. the sulphur
and salt and even the petroleum have
been exported IN crude form,
On the other hand there IL and has
been criminal waste OF natural gas
In the caddo field. the largest now
known in the United States. This
waste has been due largely to the
antIpathy OF the oil men for gas which
Is allowed 20 waste on the theory that
they will obtain more oil.
The article goes on TO show in de-
tail thai the chemicals 80 readily pro-
ducible ought to result In an econom-
icai utilization OF the nos wasted re-
sources Of the safe. the upbulIding
of manufacturing industries os yari-
GUS kinds and the development OF ag-
Ticulture. especially as to cotton.

A NEW DEPARTURE-THE COVER.
NORS CABINET.

Governor Crothers has put into OPP
Grafton a new idea in state govern
ment. in the formation Of body he
calls his Cabinet" consisting OF the
Comptroller, the Treasurer, the At
torney General, the Secretary of State
and the Adjutant General All the
State institutions are requested to re-
port to this body, the purpose of the
Governor being that he and all those
who are officially connected with him,
may understand the detailed workings
of the various departments. of the
state government.
This, we think. IL a capital idea and
the Governor Is to be commended for
being sufficiently alert TO suggest 1t
and put II into operation. We believe
all our state institutions are being
conducted in a good business-like
way, but II is proper that their work
should be brought under the super
vision Of such body as the Governor
has called around him. II they are
all right the examination will not
hurt them and II they are not right,
then they need to be overhauled.

Madrid, Feb. 2.--Tke failure OF the
American battleship feet to stop at
Spanish port during the fleets stay
in Mediterranean waters has caused
an undercurrent OF resentment in

For diplomatic reasons the govern

is deep seated.
The ports of France, Turkey, AL

vAUDEvILLE AT THE MAJESTIC.

An excellent bill is what Manager Couch is offering the patrons of the Majestic for the coming week, and one which should prove, a great drawing card for the remaining five days on which 1t will appear. It's bill of six turns that will puzzle one to pick out the best. There Is an act to please the tastes of everyone and, consequent ly the headliner is according to one's own preference. &
 Harrison Greene and Katherine Parker are real articles in fun making. Greene especially in his Interpretation of German stump speech. He butcff- CTS the English language. twists his vowels and keeps the audience in one roar of laughter. Their singing, dancing and comedy talking are real features and their duet. When You Smile. Smile. Smile." is geunine treat. >p
 The pair, Jarvis and Martyr, who style themselves Australian jugglers are a combination of extraordinary skill in this respect. In fact. their Juggling and hoop rolling stunt is the best act of It's kind seen on the Majes- tic stage this season. The novel fea- ture of this act Is the dumb bell jug gling from one to another. Inter
 
 turns Is the usual comedy which keeps the audience in an uproar.
 AS true vaudeville entertainers Rockway and Conway are hard tc beat in their singing and comedy sketch. But the excellence of this turn is the singing.
 In the rendition of Goodbye, Sweet heart. Goodbye" Rockway has an op- portunity to display his rich baritone voice, and his solo was the premiei number of the evening. But he ha; an excellent partner in Conway, anG their comedy duet. Bye and Bye made great hit.
 Karl and Erma Gath present theti | original coIGedy skit "An Amateur night at the Bowery." They portray couple of Bowery newspaper sell CTS and the vibrant pathos of theii situation Is draped in a mantle o slang. Their line of gan Is so slangJ that 1t Is hard to catch the real drift Added to this Is the graceful gil dancing of Erma. | As a comedy cartoonist. Walter Elem ing presents a turn. seldom seen or the vaudeville stage, His rapid car tooning in colors of various races ant scenes is a clever number. Possibl! the most appreciated of his drawing i was cartoon or Governor Conner. De fore and after the election.
 The concluding number on the pro gram is a condensed musical comedy The Napanees Vacation This l. | furnished by cast of nine people eight of whom characterize schoo i boys and girls. The ninth is tn teacher. The act is similar to the on presented at the Majestic last week A swinging theme of school tide. chorus of good voices and several pic turesque dances renders the act flea ture. The act Is presented by Harr. w. Fields and Company featurini Alma L. Russell. as Fern Dell. tn sleepy girl. The interpretation O Willie Green. the simple boy. bY Nor gan Davis. is hard to duplicate.
