Lenqthy and Monotonous.

One of the most curious contracts
entered into by an operate artist was
that agreed to by Farinelli. When he
visited Spain, Philip V. was suffering
from mental depression. from which
nothing aroused him until the arrival
of Farinelli. The queen was so de
lighted to see her royal spouse once
more interested that she engaged Fari
nelli at salary of $4,000 to remain in
Madrid. This he did. singing the same
four songs to the king every night for
ten years.

best service. Strong and reliable.
Mr.. Bells will make a Senator whose
career will be fruitful of good to his
own county and people, and of val
liable service to the State. For the
exacting work in the House, we have
named Messrs. Hancock, Stewart.
Watkins and Wilkerson-four men
who can fitly and satisfactorily deal
with local demands and whose votes
will always be found upon the right
side of questions passed upon in the
popular branch of the Assembly.

we can safely trust.
Mr.. Duckett is the very man for
the Register of Wills office, and as
the arm of highly commendable Or
phans' Court cannot, on the score of
personal qualities, adaptability and
the more essential requirements of
industry, mental grasp and expert
ence, be surpassed.
For Sheriff, our ticket has the name
of Mr.. G. 7. Beasley, and there is no
gainsaying his eminent qualifications
for this Office. In fact, it is seldom
in the counties of Maryland that the
people are fortunate enough to get
such men as Mr.. Beasley to run for
Sheriff, or any other local office. A
| good Sheriff has will power, tact,
courage and honesty. Very few cam
didates for Sheriff, anywhere in our
,, State, are ever lacking in these essen
tials. Often the choice falls upon
candidates, however, whose training
and experience has been altogether
in such lines as to fit them exclu-
sively for the more prominent and
/ technical duties of the post. If he
has the general knowledge and ex-
perience, Sheriff, especially in
Anne Arundel, can be of lasting SER
vice to the people in administering
his office with that economy and
diligence in its business affairs which
an incumbent, in previous touch
with large and broad things having
to do with financial trusts and re-
sponsibilities, has acquired. And in
this respect, Mr.. Beasley is finely
equipped.
: The Importance of the coming cleo
tion, both to our county and to our
State, should be thoroughly recog.
nized by all of US, and every effort
made to return in Anne Arundel the
heaviest Democratic majorities we
can give the candidates.

A NO SCORE GAME.
Werutz Team Holds St. Johns To
Nothing To Nothing Score.

On ST. Johns field this morning the
Werntz team held St Johns second
team to 90 score. The Werntz
team deserves much credit as il was
their first game, and we've outweighed
by ten pounds to a man. The forward
pass was used by both teams. but the
would-be midshipmen had the best of
it in this line.
St Johns could not gain consist
emily, although they had a strong
backield. Jackson and Miles, (cap-

Annapolis and Anne Arundel county
Democrats will have the last oppor-

governorship of the State, when the
Democratic standard bearer closes

House here on Monday night next.
The meeting, which will begin at

attended, not only by Annapolitans
but by many of the rank and file of
the voters throughout the county, and
in addition the attention of the whole
State will be centered on the closing
remarks of the Democratic candidate
before the real battle of ballots begins
at 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning.
In his final speech, Senator Cor

into the Republican party, and it's
efforts to gain control of Maryland on
the eve of Presidential election,
and thus strengthen the chances OF
four more years of William Howard
Taftism at Washington.

FINISH LONG FLIGHT.
Lieutenants ElIyson And Towers Came
Into Annapolis From Point No Point
Yesterday Evening.

After trip that was beset with mis-
haps and constantly interrupted by en-
gine troubles, that delayed their pro-
gress and forced several stops and
waits for repairs, Lieuts. Gordon G..
Ellyson and John H. Towers, of the
navy aviation school, reached Annap-
oils late yesterday afternoon from
Point-No-Poin in the navy hydro
aeroplane Driad.
They left Point-Eo-P Point at 3.33
and it was just about 5 O'Clock when
they landed at the government avia-
tion field across the harbSr from the
Academy. Their actual flying tiHe
was one hour and twenty minutes. 1t
would have been much better had it
not been for the heavy head winds
encountered.
After the start the daring birdmen
went up to height Of seven hundred
feet, but finding the wind gusty and
the going decidedly rough at this alti-
tude, they came down to about $50
feet and maintained this height for
most of the way, huggIng close in to
shore because of the rough water be-
low them and the danger of further
engine trouble and the necessity for a
drop to the surface of the bay.
All the way Lieutenants Ellyson
and Towers suffered intensely from
the cold, but managed to stick gamely
to their task until it was completed
and the queer looking water-air craft
was housed in the garage.
Lieut.. John H. Rodgers, the Wright
biplane expert of the navy, who had
been on leave for several weeks, re-
turned to the Academy yesterday af-
ternoon and with his arrival the
quota of birdmen assigned to the
local flying school was once more
completed.

A PARTY OF PROGRESS.
Democrats Have Moved The State
Toward And Accomplished Needed
Reforms By Public Record.

In his speech at Belair Tuesday.
Senator German referred to the de-
mands of the Republican State plat
form.
at is strange" he said, "that the
Republicans demand only the things
the Democrats have already given the
State"
In their State convention last Sep
tember, the Republicans were enthusi-
astic pledgers of the Statewide pri-
mary.
In the.Legislature of 1910, the Dem
ocrats voted as unit for the primary.
and the Republicans to a man voted
against it.
When the Republican legislatures
of 1896 and 1898 were asked by the
reformers to pass Corrupt Practices
Act, the reply was that the vineyard
ought not to be destroyed before the
famished Republicans had some
grapes. Now they talk valiantly in
their platform about Corrupt Prac-
tices Act.
The Democratfc Legislature of 1908
passed the act.
A direct vote for United States
Senator is something the Republicans
clamor for in convention.
Maryland elected both her present
United States Senators under a
direct voting statute passed by Dem
ocrats,, and which will stay on the
books as long as a Democratic ma
Jority comes to Annapolis-and that
will be for many years in the future.
The Democracy of Maryland has
been for some years, and is now, and
will continue to be, the progressive
party of the State.
