Congress from the Sixth district.
In speaking of his candidacy, he
said:
my political ambition has,
since 1895, when 1 came within
one vote of the nomination, been
to represent the Sixth Maryland
district in the Congress of the
United States. To be fortunate
enough to secure that nomination

GERMANY'S AIRSHlP FLEET
Travel By Compass At hight-Ten
Thousand AirShip Soldiers.

II saw at Cologne" said NJ.
Cappazza, -four 'dirigibles, one
'Zeppelin'' two 'Parseval and one
Gross. They were all sheltered in
a single shed, which still had room
for another 'Parsevap of RI 900
cubic feet, and, without the
Zeppelin, could contain in all six
airships of that size. For IA days
these airships Unanswered with the
utmost precision, and what is even
more important they proved their
capacity for making their flight by
night, when it is clearly impos-
sible to fire upon them and when
the camp fires of the enemy betray
the number and disposition of the
forces. The Germans think moth
ing OF the sending up a 'dirigible'
during the night, and when the re-
connoissance has been made the
airship steers by the compass back
to the point from which it started
with extraordinary accuracy. A
powerful searchlight is placed be-
side the shed, and when the bal
loon comes within its range it
serves as Z guide.
What struck me most" NJ.
Capazza continued, was the vari-
ETY. Of the balloons, which have no
resemblance one tC another or of
the airships built outside Germany.
This diversity of type is a great
tribute to the open-mindedness of
the German Government, or rather
of the Emperor himself, to whose
efforts the German aerial fleet IS
undoubtedly due. Each constructor
was left 10 carry out his own ideas
without official interference, and
there is no official type. Those
airships built by the army officers
are on exactly the same footing as
those built by private constructors.
Germany, said NJ. Capazza,
"realizes that to purchase a sue
cessful dirigible it is necessary to
order it to fulfill certain definite
conditions and not to dictate to
the constructor the lines on which
it is to be built"
NJ. Capazza dwelt with great
emphasis on the land organization
which enabled all necessary sup
plies to be provided a I'd repairs
carried out in the shortest possible
ti.re, no matter where in the Ger
man Empire an airship might
land. Two thousand men a year
are trained in the handling of air
ships and the authorities have
now 10, 900 expert soldiers at their
disposal. In fine everything has
been foreseen and carried out on a
prearranged plan in perfect order,

At present no attempt will be
made to revive the completely
WORKOUT bills. 1t will, however,
wash and resize all notes that are
received at the Treasury Depart
ment from banks and other fnan-
cial institutions for redemption,
the fibre of which has not been
broken. When the notes are
counted in the Treasury, and COM
pletely worn out notes will be
placed in a separate pile from the
merely dirty currency. The latter
will be sent to the Bureau and the
other notes to the redemption divi-
sion where they will be macerated.
Director Ralph estimates that fully
40 per cent. of the notes returned
to the Treasury-about s. ,ooo, 900
a day-will be sent to the Bureau
for laundrying. This mean a saw
ing Of $1,000 day without taking
into consideration the costs of
operating the laundry. Atpresent
it costs the government one and
one-half cents to print bill, but
in washing the currency the cost
will be very small.
To wash the currency thorough
ly operators will have to sort out
the paper money, place it on the
copper screen trays, which in turn
are placed in copper cages and
then placed in solution of soap
and water. As soon as they are
thoroughly saturated they are taken
out of the solution and subjected
to an antiseptlc bleaching process.
They are then resized, rolled and
placed in packages for their re-
turn to the Treasury. After
passing through their bath, the
bills present a nice clean appear
ance and look and feel like new

moved and small holes in the pa
per are filled up with the sizing.
The ink is not harmed a particle

Justly proud. I fully realize what
it would mean, and in entering
the contest l wish to announce to
the Republicans of this district 1
do not propose to make any un-
seemly scramble for the nomina-
ton.
"In nv disappointments I am
sure no one can justly say that my
conduct has not at all times been
consistent with what was right
from every political standpoint.
All of the counties in the Sixth
district have representative citi-
zens holding political offices of
considerable profit and trust, save
Washington. For example, Gar
rett has the Surveyor of the Port;
Allegany, Congressman for the last
twelve years, two of the Circuit
Court judges and other minor
positions; Frederick, the National
Bank Examiner; Montgomery, in
Vulnerable appointments at the
hands of the general Government,
while this county seems to have
been left out in the distribution of
political patronage. Hence,
Washington county, which l hope
to have back of me, ought to be
honored by the nomination Of
candidate this time for Congress.
The Republican party, if in
control in the next Congress, will
have many great questions to
solve, and the Representative
elected by the Republicans in the
Sixth Maryland district, whoever
he may be, must expect to give an
account of his stewardship to the
people.
The tariff, I have no doubt,
needs a revision, but that revision
must come at the hands of the
party which practically created
that sy stem and has con-
ti!uousiy maintained it, rather
than at the hands of the Democ-
racy, an open antagonist. The
preservation of the forests, public
lands ard water powers owned by
the Government demand the most
careful attention and consideration
at all times at the hands Of Con-
gress that the same may not be
unlawtully wrestcd from the peo-
pie. l believe in a strict enforce
ment of all law upon the statute
books, to punish those who have
secured by illegal means any of
those rights and the enactment of
such additional laws by Congress
to meet cases not now provided
for, 50 that those valuable rights
and possessions may be fully re-
stored to the people.
"If am nominated by the Re-
publican Congressional Conven-
ton, which meets in Frederick on
June 9th next. l will make an
aggressive campaign from start to
finish. entirely fair, however, to
my opponent, and I will leave
nothing undone consistent with
fairness to bring victory to the
party that entrusts to me 50 great
an honor.

SAW CEN. GEORGE CUSTER
AFT TER THE MASSACRE
Soldier Who Was on Detail Tell Of
Savagery of Sioux Braves.

Passing the evening of his
eventful life in peace and comfort
at his orchard home in Klickitat
county, Wash, southwest of Spo-
kane, is Benjamin Gallentine,
frontiersman and Indian fighter
with the United States regulars in
Dakota, Montana and Wyoming
from 1870 to 1876. He enlisted
at Wheeling, w. Va, in 1870,
and with a company of recruits
was sent to Camp Hancock, then
located at Bismark, N. d., being
afterward shifted to Fort Lincoln,
where General Custer was in COM
mand of the Seventh Cavalry.
Gallentine was on the battle
field the day after the Custer mas
sacre on June IS, 1876, and this is
his version of the affair.
when the Sioux broke over
the limits of their reservation and
were committing ravages in Mon
tana and Wyoming the govern
ment sent out force Of regulars
from St. Paul under Generals
Terry and Crook. There were 20
companies of infantry i'll the COM
mand. I was placed with the
Seventeenth Infantry.
The Seventh Cavalry and COM
panies Of Infantry left Fort Lin
coin in June, 1876, with General
Terry in command, for the Little
Big Horn country, where several
thousand Indians, led by Sitting
Bull, were on the warpath, and
crowded back against the Big
Horn mountains and River.
Being with Terry l was not
far from the scene of the Custer
battle. Evidently Custer was led
into a trap. After advancing
nearly the entire length of the In
dian camp thousands Of yelling
Sioux and other tribes appeared
from ambush and started their
deadly work against the little
band of cavalrymen. The battle
lasted nearly two hours, and of
Clusters command not a soul es-
capped death.
While the battle was going on
Reno and Bentine were certifying
on the bluffs at the head of the
Indian village. After wiping out
Clusters band the Indians, carry
ing Clusters battle flags, made
rush for the Notifications and
killed all but IS or 20 cavalrymen
in each company.
q was on the battle-ground
with Terry the second day after
the massacre and was detailed to
help bury the dead, which took us
two days. We found every SOL
der stripped and mutilated. Gus
ter evidently was not touched
after he fell. We found a small
riding whip placed across his
nose, probably an acknowledge
ment of his bravery. However,
his brother, Capt. Tom Custer.
Jared differently. His heart had
been cut out and laid across his
breast. 1t was the belief that this
was done by Rain-in-t the Face, a
Sioux chief, and thereby hangs a
tale.
"Rain-in-the- Face killed an
English lord and veterinary sur
geon Of the Seventh Cavalry in
1873. He kept under cover for a
year, but was finally captured by
Tom Custer at Standing Rock, S.
D., ane taken to Fort Lincoln for
trial. While in the hospital he
made the threat that he would cut
Toms heart out before he died.
He escaped and two years later
undoubtedly made good"

Sydney Smiths W.T..

Sydney Smith was the ministerial
wit par excellence. but unhappily his
Jests were so admirable that they are
now twice told tales indeed. However,
most Of them will bear repetition.
Before the first bishop of New Zea-
land left England Sydney Smith strove
to remind him of the dangers OF his
mission. "You will find In preaching
to cannibals," he said, that their at
tention will not be directed to the
spirit. but always be concentrated on
the flesh, for am told that they never
breakfast without a cold missionary
on the sideboard. We shall never meet
again. but let us hope that you may
thoroughly disagree with the savage
who eats you"
You are afraid of me-" said Smith
to Il young woman who sat beside him
at dinner. You crumhle your bread,
and that is mn undcniable proof of shy
ness. I do it when | sit by the bishop
OF London and with both hands when
| sit by the archbishop"

was the answer. "Why, child, YOU
might as well stroke the dome of st.

Count tho Times a Horse Rolls,

To see horse when out at pasture
rolling on the ground and endeavoring
to turn over on his back is a common
sight, but how many people have no
ticed that in doing this he observes
an invariable rule? The rule is that
he always rolls over either at the first
or third attempt-never at the second
and more than three attempts are
never made. In other words, If the
horse succeeds In rolling over at the
first try, well and good-that satisfies
him. But if the first attempt is a fail
ure the second one always Is. Then
he either rolls quite over ut the third
or gives 1t up. He never makes a
fourth. If horses are rolling on slop.
Ing ground they usually roll uphill.
This is more easy of explanation than
the strange custom regulating the
number of attempts. AS TO this no
adequate reason has ever been offered.
Will those ingenious people who tell US
why n dog turns around before lying
down and why ducks walk behind
each other in a string instead of
abreast explain why horse never
makes four attempts to roll over and
never succeeds at the second ?-Ex-

A Useful Pest.

Despite the fact that the spider, next
to the mouse, is most violently stlmu-
lating to feminine sensltlveness. it is
an insect of very good character. 1t
feeds exclusively upon other freshly
killed insects. and they are the kinds
denounced by sanitary authorities, the
houseny being its favorite quarry.
His service in reducing the numbers
of this pest is considerable, because
the spider is always busy, and he is
present In countless numbers, says

Is not more frequently seen is that he
IS retiring in his habits and shuns hu-
man society quite as much as that

but food, and even when In self de-

is no worse than a mosquito bite or n
