SAN MATEO, April 21.-Are the reg
ulars of Hillsboro imbued with the ap-
prehensive idea that Walter Hobart
and other insurgents are coming out in
open opposition at the election of the
officials of the fairy city next Monday?
In spite of the fact that the program
mers of the millionaire's town scott at
the inert thought of an opposing party,
they give ample ground for suspicion
by ordering countless election cards
and distributing them freely through
out the manors and estates of their
hoped for constituents.
And not satisfied with a generous
circulation of printed matter, they
have proclaimed the name of their
slated party as THE property owners

Meantime the ominouS shuttle of
election cards is disturbing the ever
lasting peace and quiet which will rule
after Monday is over.

WILL DEPRIVE THE
NEGROES OF VOTES
Maryland Senate Passes Bills
DistranChising Blacks.

Annapolis, Nd, April 4-The so
called Digges bills for the disfran-
chisement of the negro in all state
and municipal elections In Maryland
were passed by the senate They now
go to the house, where their passage
is assured because of the large Dem
ocratic majority in that body.
1t is not proposed to attempt to pre-
vent negroes voting at congressional
or presidential elections, the restric-
tion applying only to state and munic-
ipal balloting.
The original draft of the plan was
amended by the insertion of a clause
by which negroes owning property
assessed at $500 may vote provided
they were possessed of property thus
valued two years in advance of their
registration. 1t is proposed to repeal
the present registration law; to have
new general registration next year,
refusing registration to negroes, and
to abolish spring elections in Balti-
more, carrying forward these elections
until the state election in the Novem-
Der following. Being refused registra-
tion, II the bills are enacted, the negro
will not be able to vote on the meas
ures when they come before the cleo
tors in November, 1911, in the form of
constitutional amendment.

SPIDERS EAR FOR MUSIC"
According to French Scientists Insect
Really Has No Conception of
Harmony.

1t Is true. perhaps, that some of
the overzea!ous entomologists have
decided that spiders have IAN ear for
music" but there is little or no evi.
dence 20 bear out their contention. II
Is merely a pleasant supposition to
give their study entertainment.
Professor Lecaillon, a distinguished
French scientist, who has given years
OF study and observation to the in.
stincts and so.called lear for music
of the spider, contends that the ap.
parent sensitiveness of this insect L
musical sounds has been wholly mis-
understood. He takes note Of tn,
fact that brother scientists think that
some species of the spider appear tc
respond in strange manner to the
notes OF certain musical instruments.
such as the piano, harp, flute, and VIC
lin, suggesting that they have some
kind OF instructive recognition of the
sounds or the vibrations on which
they are based.
Professor Lecaillon says that wheI
musical sounds are made close to TN
spiders den he is not cognizant q
anything like harmony He thinks
the vibrations are merely carried
along the delicate strands of his web
to his parlor. apprizing him instinc

PLAN TO BEAT HIGH PRICES

in the city marke Is. He brings in
each week from the country, where
prices are low, such produce and
meat as he can carry, thereby
saving much money, says the Satur-
day Evening Post. Not long ago
he was in Morgantown and asked
for the best meat shop. He went
as directed, but did not find the
cut of meat he wanted. So he
asked the butcher if there WASN'T
another meat market in town, and,
If so, what kind of a market it was
WELL said the butcher, leaning
on his block, 81 always argue if
you can't say something good about
fellow you better keep your
mouth shut, and besides. l wouldn't
say nothin' about a competitor,
nohow. If he's got any fresh beef
that just come in you're safe in
buyin'; but he's got one trouble
and oughtn't to be selling meat
he's not good smeller."

SPLENDID SPORT FOR WINTER
skeeins One Of the Most Delightful
and Invigorating Of Cold

The skeeing clubs form one of the
most picturesque sights to be seen
In the Alps in winter. With their
bright-colored blanket suits. tasseled
caps or -o-shanters. and huge
white mitts, they go through the snow
covered woodlands across the white
mountain slopes usually in single file,
perhaps so sliding along after the

deed, 1t is variety of the old game
OF follow your leader" for what he
does the others are expected to do
So II he comes to ledge and jumps
on, all are supposed to leap. But
jumping with the skees is not so easy
as 1t looks, and the end is often
burial In the snow bank, for unless
one Is very sure of his footing, the
long, narrow, wooden Stats will twist
or turn without warning and-over
you go. With the skee one can go
over hard snow at very rapid rate,
but when he strikes patch Of the
newly fallen snow 1t is case of slow
to be sure, for any minute the bottom
may sink away with him. But 1t is
healthful as we'll as invigorating. and
the women have found that they need
not look awkward even in this form

and tassel there, and some even
