IN MARYLAN! News and Politics in Frederick County. Correspondence of Tae BvEewtxo Stan Faepericx, Mv., September 8. A sensation has been created in political cir- cles here by the announcement today of the members of the various delegations chosen by the chairman of the democratic primary meet- ing beld here Saturday. A number of these delegates are well-known members of the “reform” element here and have been iden- tified for several years past with that faction of the party opposed to Col. C. V. Baughman and what is known as the “ring” crowd. The ring men have ignored the reformers in all matters of party management and patronage, but now it is thought that they wish to create harmony in the party ranks and have taken the initi- atory step by placing a number of the reform- ers on the slate with themselves as delegates to the state and county conventions. In their desire for harmony in the party is also aj Parent Col. Baughman's ambition for the overnorship. If he secures the nomination e wishes to be assured of the vote of a united party in his own eons: The elections here of late years have cone heavily against him by reform of the hostility of the reform faction and it is his evident purpose now to a these men and bring them back into the fol It will be a difficult task, as many of them al- ready declare that their names have been used without authority and that they will not attend the convention to which they have been named as delegates, This turn of affairs has decidedly increased the interest in the political situation bere and the party men are waiting anxiously for eiection day to see how far the indomitable colonel has been able to harmonize his party. Geo. H. Blessing, about thirty-three years eld and residing at Myersville, this county, whilst laboring under mental aberration today attempted several times to commit suicide, He hada hatchet and knife in his possession, and when these were taken away from him he tried to butt Lis brains out against the wail. A stranger, supposed to be laboring under mental aberration, stopped at a hotel here last night, registering as D. Rosenfeld. New York. He acted in a singular manner about the hotel. and shortly after retiring the night clerk heard @ noise in his room and went up. The stranger was sitting in the middle of the floor attempt- ing to commit suicide by cutting an artery in his leg. He was prevented and left on an early train today still acting in a strange manner. The board of county commissisoners recog- nizing the necessity for improvement have or- dered the erection of several more new county bridges, and have made arrangements for the repair of others. The trade of the city is still severely atfected by the delay in the construc- tion of the new bridges across the Monocacy. One of the seven will be completed this month. Nicholas T.

An Ardent Lover Follows a Beautiful Maiden from California—Both Missing. A New York special to the Philadelphia In- quirer says: Dainty little Kakei Kura is missing. Kakei is « petite Japanese maiden from Tomi- eko. She is plump and pretty, with the brown- est of slanting eyebrows. rosy lips and white teeth. Several years ago Kai Kura, Kakei’s father, went to San Francisco and started a shooting gallery. He prospered and Kakei grew into a maiden. Meny offers were made for her hand, but her parents did not deem them desirable. One young Japanese followed Ka- kei persistently. Then Papa Kura waxed wroth, and told him his attentions were not de- sired. Bat Kali came around every night, and Kura decided that the tamily must move. Down to sunny Los Angeles went the family, end again prosperity smiled upon them, Sev- eral years went by and Kakei grew more beau- tiful. One day she went out walking and saw her long lost Kali. He had found her at last, Papa Kura found Kali too, much to the youth's sorrow. Pleadings were useless and Kali had to go again. . Papa Kura grew desperate and made up his ind to come to New York to get rid of Master Kali When they arrived in New York the Kuras went to 11 Pell street, where Kakei's cousin. Kiker, lived. This was on Sunday last. During the day the story of the new beauty’s arrival epread and many called to see the family. After arranging the household mat- pa Kura went out to look upa place to locate in business. He was told there was lots of mouey in shooting galleries im New York and be concluded to start one.

TRAGEDY ON THE DIAMOND. A Base Ball Umpire’s Skull Split Open With a Bat. A Charlotte, N.C., special to the Philadelphia Times says: A terrible tragedy has been enacted on the base ball ground in the little town of Darlington, 8.C., just across the North Caro- lina line, in which William Marshall, a clever young man, son of the well-known Capt. Jas, T. Marshall of Wadesboro’, was killed. His slayer was Leon Dargan, the seventeen-year- old son of George W. Dargan, member of Con- gress for the sixth congressional district of South Carolina. A game was being played by the Darlington team against the Wadesboro’ and was umpired by Marshall, who was a member of the home team. At the end of the eighth inning Wades- boro’ was inthe lead by ascore of 8to4. A considerable disposition to turbulence had al- ready been displayed by the home club and the audience. One of the Darlington men in at- tempting to steal third base ran over and was fairly and clearly put out and it was so decided by Umpire Marshall. Immediately there was @ great hubbub all over the field, accompanied by threats of violence. FELLED LIKE A L0G, A general dispute followed and during the excitement young Dargan, Darlington’s short- stop, rushed up with a heavy bat in his hand and with one blow on the side of the head felled Umpire Marshall to the ground like a log. A general riot then ensued. Pistols, knives, and bats were drawn and the excite- ment became terrible, Marshall lay senseless upon the ground with the blood freely oozing from his mouth, nostrils, and ears. Oniy the greatest exertion prevented a bloody riot, and when all the trouble was quieted phy- sicians touk Marshall in charge, but it was seen that the blow, if not fatal, was a very serious one. rshall was at once carried home. Every attention was given him, but in spite of this he died last night from the effects of the wound. He was a very popular young man and held the position of teller in the bank at Wades- boro’, was a grandson of the late Judge Ashe of North Carolina superior court. Dargan has been arrested, ee Grass in the Car From the Boston Herald. People who visit the Beacon-street boulevard running out to the Chestnut-hill reservoir may now witness the novel spectacle of laborers cutting the grass between the tracks over which the horse car trasport their loads of passengers, The space thus defined in some places resem- bles a section of a well-kept lawn and the grass is as green and as luxuriant as can be found anywhere in our beautifulsuburbs, There was atime when the growing of grass inside the street railroad tracks was correctly interpreted as an indication of dull business. This is no longer the case, however, as one can see who watches the well-filled cars that go through the new boulevard in such rapid succession, rh is all on account of the electric motor sye- m.

An extraordinary fallacy is the dread of night air, What air can we breathe at night but night air? The choice is between pure night wir from without and foul air from within, Most people prefer the latter—an unaccount- able choice, What will they say if it is proved to be true that fully one-half of all the diseases we suffer from are occasioned by people sleep- ing with their windows shut? An open window most nights in the year can never hurt any one, In great cities night air is often the best and purest to be had in twenty-four hours. One could better understand shutting the windows in town during the day than during the night for the sake of the sick. ‘The absence of smoke, the quiet, all tend to make the night the best time for airing the patient. One of our highest medical authorities on consumption and climate has told me that the air of London is never so good as after 10 o'clock at night. Always air your room. then, from the outside air if possi- le. Windows are made to open, doors are made to shut—a truth which seems extremely dificult of apprehension. Every room must be aired from without, every passage from within, A Remedy for Hollow Cheeks. From the Pull Mail Gazette, Hollow cheeks and wrinkles are very awk- ward things, Ladies do their best to prevent their appearance. The clever ones seem to be able to ward off the wrinkles, but hollowchecks completely bafile their skill, A gentleman who lives at Islington is providing ladies whose cheeksare hollow with small pads, These pads are attached to natural or artificial teeth by means of tiny gold springs, The price of a f. pad isa trifle heavy, like everything else guaran- twed toimprove the personal appearance. A pair of pads cost something like £9. The maker of the face pad said that gentlemen as well as | ladies are wearing them. One gentleman had | never looked anything but cadaverous until he | took to the pad.

Whether Mr. Edison will be addressed by the title of marquis (pronounced markee) when he returns to America remains to be seen. That title is seldom applied to our townsman, Mr. Pallman. Among his intimates at the Chi: club Mr. Pullman is commonly called George— Just as N. K. Fairbank, who gets his Christian Bame from the poet, N. P. Willis, is commonly called Nate, and as Mr. Armour, named by his Sponsors in baptism after Philip of Macedon, is invariably essed as Phil. Mr. Pullman is properls proud of his title, but he as _prop- erly objects to having it degraded and pro- faned by miscellaneous usege. One of his car ters presumed to accost him one day as ir. Markee, and that unhappy man is how driving a Blue Island avenue carat $1.25 ir diem. a sickening monument to the futil- of human audacity. “eee.

Soldiers Complain of Pi Domestic and Unmilitary fe From the New York Tribune. “Are you thinking of deserting?” This rather impertinent question was sud- denly shot at s soldier of the United States army who was sitting on the string-piece of the pier where the Governor's Island boats touch at the Battery. The man had been wrapped in ® reverie for some time and the scowl on his face had indicated that it was an unpleasant one, so that the reporter who thus interrupted him was prepared for an angry answer. The effect of the question was electrical. The man started as if some one had detected him in a crime—then the angry blood rushed up to his face, as he said with an oath—‘‘What do you mean? I'll let you knéw you can't insult—” “O, come off,” replied the reporter with an Liesapoitiag 2 nervous laugh. ‘My dear sir, I was only infan. I was reading a few day ago of the large number of you fellows that do de- sert, and t wos surprised at it, for I thought our lives in these piping times of must te ‘all beer and skittles,’ and I often have looked over from the hot city to the cool Inwns of Governor's Isiand and envied you your soft snap. What makes the bors desert, anyway?” “What do you want to know for?” said the not-yet pacified soldier, ‘Why dont you 'list yourself and find out?” “I don’t think I would fill the bill at all,” re- plied the reporter. “I haven't got any military ambition. ood always make me turn faint, The thought of killi @ man my own pate is repugnant. War to me is full of ‘or——”" “War!” snapped the soldier with a scornful sniff. ‘Blood! Can you push a lawn-mower? Are you handy with a rake? Have you got the ability to wash dishes for the cook without breaking them? Could you hold up your end in the band on any instrument under heavens? Does your taste run to weeding in the garden? Any of, these little accomplishments would go much further to win the good graces of the re- cruiting officer than spouting about military ambition. “TI tell you, sir,” he added, warming up to his subject. “more of the boys desert because of the monotonous round of such petty, domestic, unmilitary work than for all other causes com- bined, You see that gloomy old rattle-trap of a fort over there? Well, there are bright young fellows of pluck, push and ambition, who have been lying there for years prisoners, because they ware driven to. desertion by keen disap- intment at what they considered to be the legradation of a soldier to a mere domestic drudge.” “But these things have got to be done by some one, haven't they? queried the reporter. “Yes, I suppose so,” said the soldier, “but there should Be some way fixed for the discon- tented ones to purchase their discharge. The British soldier can do this, and why should not we? Uncle Sam should not keep up a mouse- trap system of holding aguinst their will men who have probably been deceived into enlist- ing by an over-zealous recruiting officer. The term of enlistment, too, ought to be reduced to three years. ‘That's long enough for a man who does not like it, in all conscience, and those who do like it are the only ones worth keeping, anyway.” “A good deal has been done lately, though,” the reporter, ‘to make things easy for , I must say that’s so,” said the soldier. There's the retired list, with three-fourths pay for men that have served thirty years, Extra duty pay is a new thing, and some of the men make wellout of that, Clothing is better, food is better.

Tue Barriz or Nonrz Porst.—The bom- Dertnent of ot Metioacr, Be, will be of the features of baggy WICKED WOMEN. They are Nearly Always Blondes with Light Hair and Blue Eyes. From the Hartford Courant. It is the blonde woman who does the mis- ebief. Lueretia Borgia had yellow hair, so ac- cording to Grant White had Lady Macbeth, who was petite and slight. Nanon Lescaut was fair and blue eyed. The mischief maker, Madame de Montbazon, wasa regal blonde. Madame Simon's blue eyes looked unflinch- ingly at the guillotine when the still fairer head of the innocent criminal Marie Antoinette fell into the basket. Bloody Mary was slight aud fair, Marie de Medici was a fleshy blonde woman, thongh her hair was streaked with gray when she died on her straw litter at Cologne, and Catherine of the same noble house was either fair or stained her tresses to make her appear so. I dare say the daughter of Herodias, who danced before Herod, was yellow haired—the old masters made her so (those high born Jew- ish maidens had the blonde tint)—and nobody doubts that Delilah’s blue eyes bewitched the secret out of the soft-headed, soft-hearted, blac! d giant. And it seems that Mrs. Maybrick is vellow haired, slight, and before all this terrible experience had a peachlike bloom. Now, it is true, she has logt it and the good looks that Sir Charles Russell ‘so much de- pended on as an evidence of her innocence, and has grown heavy and dull-eyed. After all her fate is not an enviable one. For nine months she will be kept in solitary confinement in some country jailin England. During that time she can see no one, receive no letters, neither read nor write, and the only mercy ex- tended her is such work as she can do in her cell. When this probationary time is over she will be taken out of the jail and in her coarse blue convict dress and ‘shaker bonnet make her first outing. It will be to one of the female penitentiaries, but which one no one will know until the’day of her departure, and there she will live and die. If she has not torn her hair or bruised her frail body, or frantically cursed the keeper who brings her daily food, if, in fact, she has “been good,” she may in the next year receive one visitor and one letter. As time rolls by she may even be- come good enough to earn three letters and three visitors each year.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously true of all classes of news, but especially so in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL HPQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FAC! iks ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It is therefore able to priut each day a full report of every transaction of pubiic ine terest occurring in the District up to the very hour of going to press. By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES: for REGULAR AND SPECIAL Dis- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTER) HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o'clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, town and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atiantic and Pa- citic Oceans. —e—— @ NOTE THE RESULT: 23 —0:—— THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIGERS and MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AS MANY KEGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON, It is de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They koow it, ip short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It ta in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGELHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST tN THE CITY. £68 In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOUKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boust most are least uble to stand. —:0:— © The esteem in which THE STAR is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average daily cir- culation of the puper was: In 1885. regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indication of its acknowledged value as a medium of publicity.
