We think Governor Colds
borough made a big mistake in
not signing the Price Senatorial
Primary Bill. 1t was the fairest
law for the selection of Sena-
torial candidates for a party
that could possibly be devised.
This bill of Senator Price was
heartily commended by Senator
Rayner George Stewart Brown,
William Sheppard Bryan and
other representative men as a
most fair and just measure. I'm
der its provisions a poor man
might be o candidate for the u.
5. Senate. Under the present
law the poor man cannot get
in, as he must put up money to
pay the expenses of the Primary
throughout the State. OF course
the failure of Governor Colds
borough to sign this law will
not worry those who put up the
money to make him Governor.
They have enough left TO pay
for a primary all right.

Worcester County
Democrats

The Worcester Democracy
wants to see the best possible
Democratic candidate nomina-
ted at the Baltimore convention.
The sentiment as To candidates
is very much divided in this
county. There are numerous
Wilson and Clark men and not
a few Harmon men. But all
realize that either one of them
will make better and safer
President than either Roosevelt
or Taft. The party leaders in
Worcester County and in the
State will not try TO influence
the people against any candi-
date. Pick your favorite and
vote for his nomination. The
delegates elected from Mary
land to the National Conven-
tion, which meets in Baltimore.
will be bound TO vote for the
choice of the people as express

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iniamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbing sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-In order
ing the exclusion from the United
States of absinthe. the green devil"
the government is following the LEAD
of Switzerland which about year
ago decided to prohibit the drink and
also placed the ban on its manufac-
ture. The agitation in Switzerland
was widespread. The forces that op-
posed the prohibition law were also
very active because the suppression OF
the industry meant big loss to them.
Now the Pure Food and Drug board,
through Secretary Wilson, of the De-
partment of Agriculture, has issued an
edict that no more absinthe shall be
imported into this country after Octo-
Der J., and in short time the treas
ury will make this effective by issu-
ing specific orders to all collectors OF
customs and port officials that they
shall allow no more absinthe to be
imported after the date named by the
pure food and drug board.
Very little agitation has been heard
in Washington regarding absinthe.
American drinkers never have taken
kindly to the drug as beverage and
the big temperance interests seem to
have reserved their fire for alcoholic

CoNKLIN's FIGHT
WITH A CHAMPION
Senator Chandler Put up a Job on His
Colleague and conkling Got
Licking.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.--Washing-
toms rubberneck wagon men are retail
ing new story to their audiences
about the late Roscoe Conkling, New
York's famous senator, and his skill
with the boxing gloves. The story is
always sprung when the wagon is
around 74th and H streets, where
stands the building that used to be
the residence OF the late Zach Cband-
Ter, who occupied seat in the sen
ate at the same time that Conkling did.
1t appears that Chandler took great
pride in giving stag dinners which
were always followed by entertain
ments of one sort or another. Conkling
! was very often guest and at these

entertainments he would often call for
the boxing gloves and offe- to mix it
up with anybody that was willing.
Now Chandler was no boxer, al
though he tried conclusions with Con-
king several times, much to his re-
gret. Conkling put all over him and
Chandler cooked up scheme to get
revenge.
Chandler gave a dinner and invit-
ed Conkling. The latter, at the con-
clusion, called for the boxing gloves
and offered to spar a Bit" After
much persuasion, a guest who disclaim-
ed all knowledge of boxing offered to
PUT on the gloves with him. The
guest and Conkling started in and
Conkling landed rather heavily several
times. Then the guest started in to
hammer Conkling like a real profess
sional and Ccnkling got suspicious.
Il thought you said you didn't
know anything about boxing said
Conkling.
The guest modestly replied he didn't,
and hostilities were resumed. The
hammering continued much to the dis
comforture of Conkling.

senator painted.
At this stage Senator Chandler In
teryened. Addressing Conkling, he
said. Senator Conkling, let me in
troduce you to Joe Coburg, champion
middleweight boxer of England"
Conkling saw that the joke was on
him and Joined in the general laugh
