Hagerstown, Dec. ,12. As a result of the prosecution of the Hagerstown Fair Association for permitting gambling on the fair grounds last October, resulting in the imposition of a fine on the association by Judge Henderson, the election for officers and directors next month will be heated. It is the general opinion that a number of new men will be brought forward for the election and several members of the incumbent board will retire. Owing to the serious illness of President John W.

Stonebraker. who, it is be-HeTed. will not recover, it is understood he" will not be a candidate for re-election. Mr. Stonebraker is 81 years old.

Dec. 12. The nominations of Royal E. Cabell as Commissioner of Internal Revenue and of James F. Curtis as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury will be confirmed.

This much was learned this evening by the correspondent of The Scj from a Republican member of the Senate Committee on Finance, which on Friday afternoon refrained from at once recommending the confirmation of these appointments. When asked to explain the exact present status of tne nominations, this Republican Senator said "The nomination of Curtis will be favorably reported by Senator Lodge, while that of. Cabell has been held in abeyance. I have no doubt that Cabell will be confirmed. For the present it is not a question of whether Cabell will or will not be confirmed.

His nomination has not reached that point. It Is a question of taking time to Investigate for the purpose of ascertaining whether 'Cabell considers himself superior to the Senate, which, under tne- Constitution, constitutes half of the appointing power in the case of all nominations sent to that body for its consideration." From this Senator it was learned that the action taken In the case of Cabell was primarily intended to serve notice upon him, as well as upon other possible appointees to influential positions having to do with, patronage, that they cannot be allowed to consider themselves superior to the Senate. Have Xothlnpr Against Curtis. The name of Curtis has been referred to a subcommittee in charge of Senator Lodge, because there was some feeling that the Senators from Massachusetts had not been consulted when this appointment was made. It is perhaps true that Senators Lodge and Crane did write to the Sercetary of the Treasury that they regarded the Curtis appointment as an excellent one.

Still that did not necessarily indicate their approval of the idea of making appoint, ments from Massachusetts without seeking the advice of Its Senators. Senator Lodge entertains no objection against the char, acter of the appointment itself, as is evident from the fact that he will favorably report the nomination of Curtis for confirmation. The status of the Cabell appointment is quite different. Senators understand that Cabell entertains rather lofty ideals relative to the dispensation of the patronage of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Members pt the Finance Committee, Republicans as well as Democrats, had been told that he has already informed some members of Congress that he intended to select internal revenue officials for efficiency alone and without considering that Congress or the Sena.te had anything to do with the selections that were to be made.

Must Know Cabell's Attitude. That the holding In abeyance of action upon the Cabell appointment was primarily due to considerations of patronage is evident from the statement made this evening by a Republican member of the Finance Committee, whose name; for obvious reasons, cannot be used. The statements made by this Senator to The Sun are naturally conservative, guarded and couched In Senatorial language, but between the lines may be -cad the attitude of leading forces In the Senate. -When the matter of the Cabell appointment came up," said the Senator, "there was a suggestion made in the committee that the appointee, Cabell, 'although he must be confirmed by the Senate, seemed to think that he would not be bound by any views which Senators may have relative to his conduct of the oflice and appointments to be in their States under the Internal Revenue Commlssionership. No question is involved as to the propriety Of the President to make this appointment according to the dictates of his own judgment or as to the qualification of Cabell to fill this office.

It was merely the suggestion that this appointee probably entertained the view that Congress and the Senate were factors to be taken little Into ac Various Matters Of Deep Interest To Organised Workingmen To Be Thrashed Out. Pittsburg, Dec. 12. One of the most momentous labor conferences of recent years will begin here tomorrow, when the execui tive council' of thd American Federation of Labor and the national officers of tha Amalgamated Association of Iron, Stepi and Tin riate Workers open deliberations over the present strike situation of th union employes of the American Sheet arid Tin Plate Company, a subsidiary of ttr United States Steel Corporation. The conference Is scheduled to discuss the tinmlll employes' strike, but it is known that before the deliberations cease subjects ranging from the strike of the unlbn switchmen of the Northwest to the strike of the "hand-made" glass blowers of the Middle States will have been thoroughly thrashed out, and campaigns long and bitter planned in full.

Congress will be appealed to, and, as', last resort, money will be put aside by the federation council to stand a long strike siege along many lines of Industry. President Samuel Gompers, of the federation, is In attendance at the conference, and tonight, In a short but succinct Interview, stated that the present gathering ot union labor leaders was significant and would be prolific of great results before it disbands. Principal among the many subjects be discussed by the labor leaders will the fight contemplated against the Unitpjl States Steel Corporation by union men th United States over. As a last resort, tuta strike will be called in all of the producing concerns of the United States Corporntbwi, according to a prominent labor leader, but only after attempts on the part of tbjn union men to obtain favorable legislation have failed. The "open-shop" policy of the Steel Corporation seems to be the bone of contention over which the federation officers are most incensed.

Two hundred labor leaders throughout the United states will attend the conference. RICH WOMEN AID STRIKERS; Shlrtvrntst Makers Cause To Be Heard At Colony Club.

There is nothing socialistic or suffraglstlc in the project. We feel that the shirtwaist makers a having a hard time and that they need the sympathy of the public.

They need help and encouragement in their fight, and wheu their cause is fully explained they will get even more than they have. now."

ROADS FOR CAROLINE Commissioners Decide To Go Ahead With New Highways. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Denton, Dec. 12. The Caroline County Commissioners, who have been considering the construction of a part of the local section of the system of State highways, have definitely decided to do the work.

County Road Engineer Hibbard A. Paine has had several conferences with Governor Crothers and Chief Engineer Crosby, of the State Roads Commission, and the county will build, for-the State, a macadam road from Watts creek, south of Denton, to the Bureau, near Williston. The State highway work has been begun liere by the building, by a Pennsylvania contractor, of a section of road extending north from Denton and under the same contract will be constructed a piece of macadam road from Denton to Watts creek. State engineers were here last week completing the surveys of the section to be built by the county, and there will be little delay in making the start. The Commissioners will purchase a steam roller and the State will pay for its use as the work of the construction goes on.

Since the county roads were placed under an engineer in 1904 the county has been accumulating equipment and now owns several fine mule teams, portable stables, wagons and implements. Bills for the use of the equipment, salaries of foreemn and labor and materials will be given to the State commission and paid out of the roads appropriation.

WEBSTER RODE IN IT, HE SAYS Captain Hartge Says Carriage Was TTsed Years And Years Ago. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Annapolis, Dec. 12. Capt.

Albert Hartge, a well-known resident of the West River section of Anne Arundel county, claims to have In his possession an old-time carriage that was once the property of Daniel Webster, and which Is still a very serviceable vehicle. The carriage Is a phaeton, and Captain Hartge says he has been using it for. several years, and that it ia far more roomy than the vehicles built In the present day. It Is built on springs and is most substantially constructed and perhaps is as strong now as when it was first built. The phaeton is made of white hickory, and the great lamps, dashboard rails, handles, are of solid copper, heavily plated with silver.

The old vehicle has a most interesting history- It was once the favorite carriage of the famous statesman and scholar at his home near MarshSeld, and was sold to a Marylander at a sale conducted in Boston. It was brought by the pur chaser to Baltimore and stored away in an old stable, the owner intending later to emove it to his country place in. Howard county. Before doing so, however, he died, and the famous vehicle of the old days was again put under the hammer. This time it was bought by Capt.

S. A. Byus, a well-known oyster packer of Bal timore, wno nappenea to attena tne saie. He bought it for a very small sum. Cap tain Bvus and Captain Hartge had been lifelong friends, and it was in this way that the vehicle came Into the possession of the present owner, Captain Byus mak ing him a present of it.

Captain Hartge says he would not sell the vehicle for any amount of money, be cause of its associations and by reason of its great comfort in riding about the country.

For Rocls-vlUe's Postmaster. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Rockville, Dec. 12. The term of Rockville's postmaster, James P.

B. Veirs, expires early in February, and some speculation is being indulged in as to his successor. Rumor has it that Willis B. Bur-dette, chairman of the Republican County Committee of Montgomery County, is slated for he position, and there seems to be little doubt that there is good fundation for the report. That the party managers In the county are for him to a man is known, and It is believed highly probable that Representative Pearre, upon whose recommendation the appointment will be made, will be guided by the wishes of those now in control of the party machinery In the county.

Then, too, Mr. Burdette is warm personal and political friend of Colonel Pearre. So far, Mr. Burdette Is the only avowed aspirant for the position, and as the opinion seems to be general that he will be named. It Is thought probable there will be no other candidate.

The office is worth about $1,800 a year. Mill Foreman Killed. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Cumberland, Dec, 12. Thomas Krouser, of Bayard, W.

NO STATE-WIDE BILL NOW Straw Poll Of Virginia Legislature Indicates This. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Richmond, Dec. 12. A straw poll of the Virginia Legislature, before whom the Antlsaloon League of the State will precipitate a fight for submission of the question of State-wide prohibition to the vote of the people at the biennial session in January, shows an apparently strong majority for the Democratic principle of local option.

The poll, which Is not yet complete, shows a decided sentiment against State-wide prohibition. The Senators and Representatives yet to be heard from will unquestionably swell this majority. Returns have been received from' more than half the members of the Legislature, showing a ratio for locaL option of 6 or 7 to 1 in the entire membership of the General As-ratio of about 10 to 1 in both houses, counting the returns from the Democrats alone. Out of a total of 140 members of the Legislature, including both parties, the position of 76 has been outlined. It is apparent that no sort of State-wide prohibition will be possible at the approaching session.

Among those who have been heard from there are several that may be classed In the doubtful column. The two houses combined show 64 members favoring local option, 10 for State-wide prohibition and 2 in doubt. Sixty-four members are yet to be heard from. The Republicans appear to be about equally divided on the question. ROBBER FIRED THE BARN Then Escaped In Confusion Of Fighting The Flames.

There is some feeling among Sena tors that Cabell considered himself some what independent of men of either party in the Senate, especially as regards appointments. If he favors either Democrats or Republicans for offices he may have a right to do so, but the suggestion that he considered both the matter of his appointments as well as himself outside of the pale of the Senate created a little feeling in the matter. "In what has been done the President has in no wise been criticised. The sole question is' whether the appointee himself rather felt himself superior to the Senate or rather the suggestion to that effect. His nomination has merely to be held in abeyance to allow certain facts to be ascertained in this connection." -v DOGS CLIMBED INSIDE TREE They Wanted The Squirrel, So.

They Stayed There, So Story Goes. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Prince Dec. 12. A hunting experience of two one belonging to Leonard Sewell and the other to Lewis Morsell, of Prince Frederick, bear out the fact that dogs have wonderful enduring powers.

Failing' to return at night it was surmised the dogs had strayed to a misleading path and would no more pursue the game in the tall timber hereabouts. The next Saturday James Sewell, while passing through the woods of the Misses Duke, near Prince Frederick, heard the faint yelp of a dog that seemed nowhere visible. He followed the sound and found it came from the interior of a large chestnut tree, the only entrance to which appeared to be a knot hole eight feet that would only admit an animal the size of a squirrel. With an ax the tree was cut into about the knothole and the two lost dogs were released from thei? prison of a week.

It appeared that the dogs, while In pursuit of a squirrel, had entered the tree through an opening near the ground and In their ascent of the hollow the entrance was filled with fallen, decayed matter which cut off their retreat. They continued up the tree in single file as far as they could scramble and until the leader reached the knothole through which, they were enabled to breathe. One of the dogs, though hollow and lank, immediately started to hunt on being released. Ice Four And A Half Inches Thick. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

There Is a process known as metabolism going on constantly in the body, and by which the tissues are built up, and after having served their purpose in the physical economy, are torn down and cast off. So long as the due relation between waste and supply is maintained, nutrition and the various- functions of the body are continued. But after middle life and In old age there comes a time when waste exceeds supply, and when the various elements which constitute the different tissues and organs no longer hold their du proportion, and the principle of life itself becomes enfeebled, the body no longer having power to assimilate new material as it once did.

As old age creeps on, all the functions gradually fail, especially those of digestion, absorption and assimilation, and the syf-tem being deprived of its full quota of nutriment, slowly wears out. If the nutritive and digestive processes of old peopl could be maintained unimpaired, life could be prolonged almost Indefinitely. There are many old persons In whose stomachs the gastric function is almost entirely suspended. When this trouble occurs, the problem is, how to digest the food and get along without the natural stomach Juices. There is but one way to overcome the effects of this condition, and that Is to supply artificially to the stomach a powerful digestive substance to take the place of the Juices which it falls to secrete naturally.

For this purpose, there Is nothing su-perior to STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS known medical science, as they supply the deficiency, and are Bueh a reliable and thoroughfy efficient substitute for the natural gastric Juices, that if two or three are taken after each meal, the food will be digested in so complete a manner, that the natural digestive fluids will never be missed. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be used by all bid and middle-aged persons, in order to prevent or cure the dyspepsia of old age. Through their use complete digestion of the food is assured, with a consequent increased nutrition of the body, and a staving off of the sensibility and decreptitude of old age. This remedy is, however, not only good for the indigestion incidental to advanced life, but Is also applicable to the dyspepsia and stomach troubles of any age, from youth up. Secure a package of this famous dyspepsia remedy from your druggist for 50c, and if you find that as you get older your digestion and assimilation become weaker, this remedy will assist the stomach in the performance of its functions, so that the general system will not suffer from the delinquency of the digestive organs.

A sample-package will be sent you if vou will forward your name and address to the F. A. Stuart Company, 150 Stuart Building, Marshall, Michigan. Dulcet Pleasantries. Stella Dolls are now made with natural faces.
