Correspondence of The Evening Star. Haarnstows, Feb. 5, 1992. Washington county, of which Hagerstown is the county seat, has always, and very justly so, prided itself upon its financial promptitade and standing. It has been and continues to be liberal in any and all expenditures tending to its best interests and the interests of its peo- ple. Among debts incirred in this Jine and by such a policy is $150,000 incurred in aiding the construction of the Washington County railroad, a branch of the Baltimore and Ohio, in 1864, and an equal amount in 1866 for the Western Maryland railroad. Bonds were issued to raise funds for these purposes at 6 per cent. The loan was refunded at 5 per cent im 1878. Seventy-five thousand dollars, or the amount remaining unpaid, will fall due next year and a bill has just been introduced in the legislature of the state to refund this sum ata rate not to exceed 5 percent. Ithas been the policy of hington county to pay # portion of ite debt cach year, instead of carrying a sinking fund, and the pursuit of this method has greatly re- duced the debt. The county's credit is higa and its4per cent bonds command a good premium, Gen. Henry Heth and Gen. Jobn C.

He exhibited a marvelous tectnique, & touch velvety, ringing aud ut the same tune singularly firm aud elastic, and in bis inter- pretation of the works of different composers Eermunifested an originality in hie resdings without departing from the majesty, the poetry or the brilliancy of the author. His program opened with Beethoven and closed with Liszt, and Schubert Schumann and Chopin were the other composers imterpreted. He also gave soow of bis own works. | One of the most remarkable features in his playing is the almost iniinite variety of touch aud tone color he produces. Although the Sonata Appassionata was advertised on the pro- gram be ait uot play it, substituting the equally great and beautiful “Waldstem Sonata,” op. 53, which received » most conscientious rending at Uishands. The “Impromptu,” ov. Land 2, and “Mermet’ of Schubert, as well as the “Car- nival” of Schumann were tone pictures of grace and elegance. Probably the greatest in- terest was evidenced in the Chopin numbers. ‘The “Nocturne,” op. 15, No. 1,1 #, not being a ¥ popular oue, teceived undoubtedly less sntion than did the following three pieces: rude” in G flat, op. 25, No. 9; “Valse” in © sharp minor and the “Heroic” polouaise in A fiat, op. 53. In the “Etude” he displayed a delicacy of touch, a fairy like finesse, a tech- nical ease and freedom that were captivating. ‘The valse was exquisite, the change of tempo in the secoud theme’ being so different from ‘that usually employed by pianists that it was an —agrocuble surprise. ‘The “Poionaise,"” 4 mans of technical diffi- culties, he played in the stately and majestic polouaise tempo and with wondrous breadth and @ coiossal tone.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In last night's issue appears the statement that in Wyoming there is one divorce to every six marriages, a greater proportion than found in any other state, and the question is asked: “Why is this thas?” In the first place this is not thus. Your para- grapher certainly had not read the report b; ‘oli D. Wright on marriage and divorce reliable statistics ac In that report it ap- niied States the ratio of divorce hax inercased in the decade from 1870 to 1880 at a ratio of three times that of the increase of popuiation, and ¢ whis in the group of western states, omitting Wyoming, it increased nearly four " times "the — average — increase population, in Wyoming the increase in divorce was less than half that of the population, mak- ing the ratio of divorces im Wyoming that of one-sixth the ratio in the whole United States aad in round numbers one-eighth the average in other western states. Opponents of womau suffrage Jove to prog- hosticate the extermination of the home and the marriage relation as the result of women being allowed to enter the political arena, but these facts with regard to Wyoming show that woman suffrage is to be a potent tuctor in saving the bome and the domes- te relations. Vrejudice being laid aside this result might naturally be expected, because it is reasonable that when the marriage re- lation is that between equals the present fric- Ca which gives the only cessible on the subj. pears that while im the whole | tion and unrest will bedone away, Allaiongin the progress of the ages from the period when, Under the old patriarebai system, the wife was no more than the child in her husband's home until the time when perfect equality of the sexes shall be established, there will be friction and domestic disturbance. John Stuart Mills suid, “It is hard for mun to tolerate the ides ot living with an equal,” and in #o much as this | is true the wider education and larger oppor- tunities for women have Leena fruitful cwuse of unhappiness in the marriage relation, but the logical outcome of the prevent tendencies for women is fail equality, and this once accepted the marrige partnership will adjust atecif satisfuctor’ ouditions are so much nere favorable in Wyoming substantiates this philosophy. in additior let me say that the average dura- tion of marriage before divorce m Wyoming, when persone have been married at twenty-oue years or over, is considerably longer in Wyom- ing than in the average of the western group uid in the average of the whole United States, ‘howing that the married condition of unhappily mated is more bearabl oming than elsewhere. The py divorce granted to wives in the United Btates is very much iarger than to husbands, while in Wyoming the difference is much smaller than the average. As it must certainly be for thesalety of domestic relations that the bonds should be as bearable to one #ex as to the other, this certainly is a point intavor of woman suttrage. We aiso tind that of the few persous seeking divorce in Wyoming a much smalier per cent than is found in otier e of persons who have mar- ried under these conditions of legal and politi- cai equulity. Statistics show that the chances are on the whole nearly 50 per cent better for your staying married if you marry in Wyo- ming. ‘Yhere is very much in the legislation and in the constitution of Wyoming which shows a distinct guin from the influence of women vot- Lut let me give your parngrapher one more , that while in the last decade the number pinais bas increased in the whole United States nearly twice as fast as the population, in Wyoming the number of criminals hus not increased at ail, showing a relative decrease of 127.9 per cent. From the personal testimony and the record Of statistics it is evident that the twenty-two years of woman suffrage have been satie y to the citizens of Wyoming: that they have con- duced to good order in the elections and to the purity of politics; that the educational system mproved aud that teachers ace paid without regurd to sex; that Wyoming stands alone in showing a siecreased propo: tion of crime aud diivoree and that it hay elevaicd the personal c ter of both sexe oming occupies the proud position of ; the ouly spot in the Uuited States whiea belongs to all patriotic and truly loyal women, | ‘To it they look as their of hope.

THAYER BREAKS SILENCE. He Tells Why He Does Not Yield the Ne- braska Governorship. Gov.Thayer of Nebraska has at last made public his intentions. Last night he called to- gether the correspondents aud gave them the following statement: “In regard to the governorship I will say that my attorneys are waiting to get the fuil text of the decision of the Sapreme Court at Washington. As yet they Go not know what it really does contain, be- cause of the conflicting reports, If any one supposes that I am holding on to the office of governor for the sake of the office, or that I have the slightest desiro to do 0, that person is most woefully :istaken. Tam anxious to eurreuder the office, but Ido not propose to act precipite and without full knowledge of what the decision really — does mean. The clerk of the United States Supreme Court wired Mr. Webster that the decision of the supreme court of Nebraska was reversed and the case was remanded for further procecd- ings. When it is known what the decision is we will know how to act. I am ready to comply with its requirements. The fact that the case is remanded for further proceedings certainly means that something further is to be done before I can surrender this office. It seems now that only four juiges sustain the position that the evabiing act mud: Gov, Loyd a citizen; that isa minority opinion. here is another feature to thia case. ‘The query arises: Am I justitied in turning the oflice over to Gov. Boyd? ‘The question is as to my rights to turn over the per- son until the decision of the supreme court placing me in the office of governor is reversed by the same court, because, as quoted above, the Supreme Court remands the case here for a tevereal of its judgment and further proceedings. It is the opinion of the best legal lights Lere that 1 have no right to tuus dispose of this office. “This is not a personal matter between my- self and Gov. Boyd. Iam holding the ottice of governor, in behalf of the people of Nebraska, and not for myself. My attorneys, Messrs, Webster, Blair aud Lambertson, are giving these questions the most thorough cunsidera- tion, aud I shail act in accordance with their advice. No threats or abuse will deter me trom my course. I shail not run from any duty or from any coutroveray.

If man has acorn it can be removed, but if ho is suffering from rubber foot fever no chi- ropodist can belp him, and the only thing to prescribe is liberal bathing of the fect and re- moval of the cause. Rubbors should only be worn to keep ont wet, and they should be re- moved the moment the wearer gets indoors. Failure to note this gives a man wet feet in a far worse sense than if he had waded through mud ankle deep. It was the trouble resulting from forcing the perspiration toaoak the stock- ings and keep the feet tually damp that drove rubber-soled boots out of the markot.

Asa result of the analyses, Cleveland's was selected, and since that time has been the baking powder used in the U.S. Army, and every proposal tor army supplies specifies that the baking powder must be “equal in quality to Cleveland's.” It isan age of “go ahead” and Cleveland's is up with the age.
