PRESTON MAY ENTER SENA.
TORSHIP FIELD.

The Baltimore Evening Star of last
Friday has the following interesting item:
The talk of Mavor Preston ultimately
becoming a candidate for the Democratic
United States senatorial nomination
against Senator John Walter Smith was
given impetus today, when John !. Ma
hon and Arthur p. German held a con-
ference in the latter's law office. John
F. O'Malley, one of Senator German po-
litical lieutenants, was the third man in
the conference.
For some time it has been said that
Mayor Preston is not really anxious to
run to succeed himself as the city execu-
tive, and as a result many OF the city or
ganization people have openly discussed
the ACCESSIBILITY of his entering the Sen.
ate fight Friends of Isaac Lobe Straus
are making efforts to line the city organ
ization up behind him, but the local lead
ers would much prefer to back Preston
OF course the Mayors consent to be-
come q candidate will be necessary be-
fore any attempts are made to form a
combination. but if he should give his as
sent it is believed he would not only have
the bulk of the city organization behind
him. but in addition number of county
people.

Driven to PLAY.

A standing criticism of American col
leges has been based on the prominence
Of athletics. 1t has been alleged, and
certainly with some justification. that
muscular prowess WINS higher honor than
excellence OF scholarship. The hero of
the under graduates is the star" foot
ball player or oarsman. not the debater
or the adept in differential calculus or
Greek composition.
Some colleges and universities have
faint-heartedly endeavored to check this
tendency. 1t has remained for the
Wesleyan University faculty to throw
conservative traditions to the winds, and
to establish athletic training not only
as desirable but as compulsory.
Hereafter every student at Wesleyan
will be compelled to participate in out
door sports. Football baseball and all
the rest will be considered as essentials
to degree, The less strenuous sports
will be recommended for the less stall
wart students, but none will be excused
altogether except for pronounced physical
disability.
Other colleges, recognizing the need
OF physical education to supplement men,
tai training. have made gymnasium work
compulsory. But Wesleyan is the first
TO place outdoor games on the prescribed
list. 1t is nearly carrying the gymna-
SUM idea a step MISUNDERSTANDING

least taxes and have the fewest roads,
and those the poorest in the State. The
great counties of Western Maryland,
pay nearly as much taxes as all of the
Southern Maryland counties put to-
gether. They seem always to be neg,
lected when anything good is to be
given out, and yet their citizens gener-
ally have as much road knowledge as
any in the State.
This act of injustice ought to teach
the people of Western Maryland in all
the future to be careful about electing as
Governor men from the Eastern Shore
or Southern Maryland GA Burnt
Child breads the Fire, and burnt
voters ought to be careful to guard
against future injustice and wrong.

Origin of the Word News.

The principal of the Hawthorne gram
mar school, Of Oak Park. Illinois, a very
wealthy suburb of Chicago, gave an ex-
position of how the word news" was
originated that is new one to the editor.
He stood before his pupils. and pointing
in each direction, said: THE word
news is made up Of the initials OF the
four points OF the compass and was so
made because news comes from the
n orth, the East, the West and the
South" 1t is characteristic of news
papers that while the news of the DAVIS
happenings comes from all points of the
compass, SO the advertising columns of
newspapers tell the business news Of the
day as it happens in all directions from
the centering point of public informa-
ton. A person who reads the news"
fails to get all of the news unless he also
reads the advertisements.

Useful Hints.

TO prevent shoppers from sticking in
the necks OF the bottles, rub little oil
on them. This is good for both glass
and cork shoppers.
A little kerosene applied to corns and
callous places on the feet is most helpful
For broken needle holder, a pretty,
useful thing for the work basket IS a
small, round bottle, two inches long,
with plain crochet covering of silk in any
desired color, the mouth of the bottle
covered with piece of silk tied on with
a narrow ribbon
A medium.sized cork covered with
crocheted silk in which to insert the
points of the scissors, is also useful and
pretty for the work basket.
The seams Of dress sleeves can be very
easily pressed upon by placing several
thickneeses of paper the length of the
sleeve under the seams, being very care
ful not to let the IRON crease the other
parts of the sleeve.
In the February "Woman'S Home
Companion" a contributor tells as fol-
lows, a new way to start kithen fire:
Attach rubber tube from the gas let
long enough to reach the front OF the
range. Put a metal tip on the free end
OF the tube, light it and hold it under the
crate already filled with coal. A steady
flow of gas for few minutes will start a
good coal fire without using any kindling
wood.
For mildew, wet the article and rub on
1t equal parts of soap and chalk, mixed
together, then place IN the sun until the
spots disappear.
Salt and lemon juice is the best for ink
spots. Battle the stains freely with lemon
juice, sprinkle thickly with fine salt and
place in the sun few hours.
Iron rust on linen is best removed by
rubbing the stain with sulphurate OF pot
ash, then battle it well in citric acid
demon juice and afterwards wash it
well in water. These are the three
stains that require the most patience and
care to remove.
An ounce of alum, put into a pint of
boiling water and allowed to cool and
bottled for use at any time. will remove
all stains and tarnish from brass and will
not inJure the skin on the hands or the
metal itself 1t only requires to be rub.

of the Public General Laws selected for

Cabbage and Hosiery.

lust why man who frequently eats
cabbage should be elected mayor is as
difficult to perceive at this distance from
Milwaukee as just why man whose wife
wears Sill stockings should not be so
elected. That these circumstances or
allegations have figured, even to the dig
nifty of paramount issues, in the NUM-
cipal campaign between the Socialists
and the Fusionists in the Wisconsin me-
tropolis must be ascrlbed to the influence
OF place rather than that of party For
many other communities have expert
enced Socialist campaigns without having
their attention invited to these issues.
Offhand, one would incline to say, the
question being that of candidates fit
ness for the mayoralty, cabbages and
stockings can have no more to do with
the case than the flowers that bloom in
the spring, ira la. A man might partake
OF boiled cabbage every day in the week,
1t would seem. without either increasing
or decreasing his efficiency as a NUM-
cipal officer, however his popularity as
neighbor might decline and fall SimiI-
larly 1t would appear that man might
prove either an able or an execrable
mayor quite irrespective of any predic-
ton the partner of his joys and sorrows
might entertain for stockings of silk,
stockings of wool, or no stockings at all.
