Far Behind Ticket.
II will be seen that Preston ran thou
sands of votes behind his running mates.
and won by less than 100 in a total vote
OF nearly 5000
The result demonstrates that Baltimore
ranks as the closest city in the Union as
Maryland runs as the closest state. The
returns demonstrate that a large majority
OF the independents supported Mr. Tina
nus in preference to Mr.. Preston This
fact is demonstrated by the large vote
received by Timanus in the independent
wards. The victory, however, Is accept
ed as a victory OF the democratic organ
ization, which will join with state demo-
Gratis in nominating an organization DEM

diver and Senator German are suggested.
Democrats Control Council.
In addition to electing their candidates
Hnr h. 80 e, xIaI-
retain control Of the two branches Of the
city council and of the board of esti-
mates and of awards. The republicans
elected their candidates for the second
branch in the fourth district In the
second branch there Will be two republi-
cans and six democrats. In the first
branch there will be FIVE republicans and
nineteen democrats
The election demonstrated that sore
spots still remain in both parties. and
the republican defeat is generally laid TO
the doors of the negroes. many of whom
remained away from the polls or failed
to mark their ballots properly.
Timanus Gets Independent Vote
T1manus received the bulk Of the fnde-
pendent vote, as is demonstrated by the
ma jorities by which he carried several of
the independent wards, including Pres
tons own ward, the eleventh. The main
surprises of the election were the poor
showing made by several democratic or
ganiZat ton wards, which gave Preston
majorities, but failed to roll up the totals
which were expected OF them. In many
OF the wards the councilmanic candidates
OF both sides are reported to have aban-
doned the heads OF the tickets and to
have worked for themselves, but the
standard bearers of both camps are be-
Heved to have suffered equally from these
cuts and possible trades.
The victory for Preston and the demo-
cratic ticket is attributed largely TO the
loval work done by Mayor Mahool and
his supporters. The mayor jumped into
the fight on The day after he was defeated
by Preston in the primaries and never
once did he flag in his support. The bit
ter primaries and the hard work OF the
republicans told in. the twentieth ward,
which Mr.. Preston lost.

Large Audience Sees ''Naughty
 Marietta'' Al Park

A large and fashionable audience at the Park Theatre, last night, saw an intelligent performance of Oscar Hammersteins comic opera, Naughty Marietta The production was thoroughly satisfactory It was abso- lutely free from the coarse double entendre which makes so many muSi- cal plays repulsive. The costuming, coloring and lighting were of artistic excellence. The company was amply large. The chorus was we'll trained, and composed of good voices. The music, by Victor Herbert, was as catchy as any this notable author has ever written. The book abounded in catchy material, better than most of this sort of thing that has been done since the days of Gilbert and Sulli- van. The scene was laid in New Or leans, during the period before the Louisiana Purchase. The opportunity to present variety of character and costuming was fully seized. There were politicians, pirates, soldiers and sailors galore. There was also quite substantial plot mixed through the music and mirth. The Kings casket girls come to New Orleans, each with a casket containing dowry from the monarch, and each with a promise of a husband. One is missing, a girl of noble birth, who has fled from her Marietta. The role was played by Florence Weber, a plump, round per son with an infinite variety of femi- nine mood. a pretty voice and a mag netic personality. The pirate role was filled by Edward Beck, whose gifts had moreover a singing voice of un- usual quality. John Cardo, as Cap tain Richard Warrington, sang his part acceptably.

George c. Wright took several fashlight photos of the merry group.
 Among those present were the Misses Mary Fitzhenry, Charlotte O,Connell, Maude Bradley, Rose Den mar, May Kirk MT. and Mrs. J. B.
