Is but whatever the reason is Nome
has met with a period of i'll luck this
season The weather has been such
THAT mining has been impossible in the
majority of cases and accidents have
occurred on sea and land in unusual
numbers. Even at this moment people
are waiting news from the sea which
may be sadder than what has come be-
fore. Thirteen certainly seems to be
an unlucky number for Nome as it has
proved To be the lucky one for Presi-
dent Wilson. Eight years ago last
Saturday, the thirteenth of September,

the city in runs from Lanes way to

started, There are lots Of intelligent
sea captains that still refuse to raise
their anchors and set sail on Friday
and there are many other manifesto
tions of that some peculiar human
trait which must surely have had some
foundation and must have had some
confirmation to last throughout the
centuries, for we know from old writ

stitions which now exist we're in exist

Much as we might smile at such

THE MARKET HOUSE FLOOR.
In Unsanitary Condition Civic League
Fly Committee Opens Camnaipn.

The terrible condition of the mar
ket house floor has attracted the at.
tention of good many, but has its un-
sanitary condition, where flies crawl
first over it and then over your food
carrying germs from one thing and
another, given you cause for worry
and have you tried in your own wav
to help better it7
One can easily see that the floor has
caved in so that it can no longer be
washed. And the general public
knows the danger of unclean floors
where germs gather and they know.
too, that germs, as a rule, are not To
be tolerated, and in a markethouse.
especially. The marketmaster is To-
ing his best to keep the place as
clean as he can. 1he Civic League
has watched hin Eand he has nevsr
been caught mapping, but Wieh all his
efforts they result IN worse than moth
ing with such unsanitary conditions.
The stall-keepers also have tried to
better things and with the money they
pay as rental, one would think con-
ditions could easily be bettered.
What We need is a new and good
markethouse floor. We realize that
here IN the twentieth century we
have to do with conditions that exist
ed in the Middle Ages. The Civic
League asks all to use their efforts
IN helping obtain better conditions
and chiefly new floor in the market
house.

late for Mr. N Sahin to get down to
the station. The bags were left at
the side of the track, as there no
freight station, and when he came
down the next morning he found one
bag missing. A freight station with
a lock is greatly needed, as a great

SELECT DEPUTY AUDITOR
Deadlock in Board Of Pu bic Works
Broken bY Election Of William
A Gillespie.

The deadlock ever the selection of
a Deputy State Auditor, which has
existed for a month, was broken
yesterday afternoon, when the Board
of Public Works met at the Office
of Governor Goldsborough, in the
Union Trust Building, Baltimore,
and unanimously selected William
Al. Gillespie, of that city.
The selection came after both
General Vandiver and Mr.. Harring-
ton realized that neither could hope
to elect his respective personal can
didate, Thomas J.. Murray and Will
lam A. Thomas, Jr. The two Demo-
cratic members of the board held a
conference before going to the Cover
nor's office.
Before the meeting it was stated
that they had decided on choice and
that the election would be but the
matter Of minute. Hardly had the
door closed when it was opened by
the Governor, who announced the re-
suit Members of the board we've
asked who proposed Mr.. Gillespie,
but all replied that his name was
placed by unanimous consent.
The new deputy produced boud at
once. He had short talk with the
Governor and j. Enos Ray, State Au-
ditor. Mr.. Gillespie will take up
his duties today, when he will tack
lie work that has been standing for
one year. Mr.. Gillespie for many
years has been engaged as a Duhlic
accountant.

PROSPECTIVE LAND BUYERS.
Business Men and Others Pleased With
Sites in This County for Building
Purposes.

Through the efforts OF the passenger
department Of the Annapolis Short
Line. Annapolis and Anne Arundel
county are in fair way of securing
many new residents. Indications are
that several pieces of property will
change hands in the near future as a
result Of the activity.
One particular excursion arranged
by the company has contributed not
q little TO this condition. When the
American Prison Association met in
Baltimore last November 9-14, at
the suggestion OF Mr.. II. Scott Ar
mold, General Passenger Agent Of
the Short Line, trip TO Annapolis was
decide on.
AS but forty minutes was consumed
in the trip in either direction, more
time in Annapolis was given the
members of the party. The gener-
ally pleasing appearance of Annapolis
took the fancy of all of the excur-
sionists. SO pleased were they that
during the remaining two days Of
the convention and five days later,
members of the association made
repeat" trips to Annapolis and
other points along the line.
II happened that some of the mem
bers of the association We're railroad
men connected with the largest rail-
roads Of the country aud they made
frequent trips of inspection over
the liue. Many of them We're under
the erroneous impression that the
road was part of the Baltimore and
Ohio system, probably due to the
fact that all tFainmen in the Short
Line service are examined under the
rules and regulations IF the former
road and are eligible for service on
that system.
With such good railroad accom-
modations as are provided the excur.
sionists were satisfied that this
would be a good territory in which to
make their homes. 1t is expected
that several of them will purchase
property and erect new homes as q
result of the trips.
AS an ii dication of how it is
necessary for outsiders TO trst bring
to the attention of those acquainted
with this locality its desirabiltY as &
place of residence, some persons are
pointing to the case of Mr.. Harolc
West, of the Baltimore Sun. Mr.
West, some time since, purchased 9
water front place near Robinson Sta
tion, on the Short Line. He had not
become sufficiently imbued with the
building idea until he was told by out
side~s of the beauties of the neigh
borhood He took ano,her look, theI
several more, and now he is about t.
give orders for the construction of /;
home to be erected at once.

thsir beloved ones on St Valentines
Day 10 bear in mind that the Parcel
Post will get them If they don't look
out
All valentines and other missives Of
love that contain celuloid, silk. satin or
embroidery, in fact all that are not
printed on paper must go as merchadise
and bear the special Parcel Post stamps.
It would behoove all detected lovers
TO call at the Postoffice after the Four
teenth and see if their valentines are
not held in the unsentimental grasp Of
Uncle Sau, and not give themselves
up to dispair because the postman
passed them by without so much as a

RECEIVING CONTRIBUTIONS.
Several Pledges Made in Annapolis To-
ward Fund for Keeping GOucher
College Open.

some AnnapoIitsns may not have
been reading in the Baltimore papers
of the campaign for Goucher college,
and might. perhaps, like 20 have more
information about it before subscrao-
ing.
When the trustees found it i.npos-
sible to keep up the college without
aid. two courses were LETT open 70
them. one was to sell institution,
good will and all, to Northwestern
University. whose plan and desire
was ia make Goucher a part OF It's
system. This would necessitate SELF
inc the buildings and moving the col
lege proper 10 Illinois in order to
form separate woman department
for that university.
OF course, they realized what blow
educationally and commercially TINS
would be to Baltimore and Maryland
The other Course suggested by per-
sons who promised to raise certain
mart of the money outside Of the
State, was to raise fund OF Sl,OOO,
GOO in order to keep the college in
baltimore. Naturally the trustees
chose the latter p,an, with the alter
native Of selling to Northwestern If
the fund could not be raised within a
limited time. Last fall the alumnat
and Others interested in Goucher
started a "Whirlwind Campaign
asking, at the same time for subscrlp-
tions from the alumnae. These two
courses proved very fruitful, bring
ing in all of the necessary money
except about 100000.
unfortunately for them this smaller
amount is enough to deprive them OF
the rest of the $l,000,000 a.rea "
subscribed, and unless the fund is
completed within the next six weeks,
the college must be closed this year.
If, then, they wish to do their part,
which may prove just enough TO COM
piece the good work, they must DO it
quickly. Contributions may be paid
either in cash or in six semi-annual
installments, beginning July l., 1918,
and the amount gwen will be re turn
ed If the entire fund is not raised.
Several pledges have already beer
made, and they will be announced
later. Small contributions as well as
large ones will be gladly received and
duly accepted by any member of the
college alumnae, by President Thomas
Fell, Chaplain H. H. Clark, u. S.
N. retired. the pastors of the variou:
churches, the principal of the Annap
