The Baltimore Sun from Baltimore, Maryland • 10

THE SUN, BALTIMORE, MONDAY MORNING. AUGUST 6, 1900. 10 HABBIAGE LICENSES IT MAY BE HoKsareatSyke8- IN AND ABOUT TOWN CHARGES CRUELTY' TO GIRL S. P. C.

C. To Investigate Acts At Dr. Brewster's Sanitarlnm. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has been asked to Investi WHAT IS THEIR FATE Boxers Invade Territory Where Marylanders Were. HOPE THAT THEY FLED IN TIME Recent Letters From Baltimore Indicate That Many Of Them Were In Positions Of Safety.

"Boxers are murdering missionaries in South China, but are not disturbing treaty ports." This, among the latest dispatches from China, has aroused general alarm throughout the world, and until the fate of the Marylanders and Baltimoreans sent to Southern China is positively known no community will take deeper interest In the trouble in the Orient than the church people of this city. Several of the missionaries from Maryland have been heard from within the past few weeks, and up to a day or two ago were safe. Among those from whom messages have come are Mr. and Mrs. Charles Tatton, two missionaries of the Presbyterian Church, who have been stationed at Canton.

On July 4 Mr. and Mrs. Robert Carswell, of 423 Gorsueh avenue, the father and mother of Mrs. Patton. received a cablegram announcing that Mr.

and Mrs. Patton had taken refuge at Macao, the Portuguese seaport at the entrance of the Canton river. The Sun of July 19, and of July 26, contained extracts from letters written during the month of June, and before the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Patton for Macao.

No mention of any disturbance in or near Canton Is made in the letter of JuneS. Significant Letters. In the letter dated June 18 Mrs. Patton speaks of the trouble In Northern China, but says that the missionaries in the South have little fear of an uprising. She writes that the majority of Chinamen who come to America are from the Southern ports, that those who return have acquired some foreign ideas, and that they are more friendly to foreigners than the Chinese in the Northern provinces.

"The Boxers are here to some extent," she writes. Mrs. Patton also describes a visit to the American gunboat Austria, which was on duty in the harbor. Mr. Tatton writes in a letter dated June 21: "Uncertainty Is the chief characteristic of the situation, but we have an easy refuge nearby our United States gunboat Austria has just come in and also two larze ocean steamers of Jordine Matheson which have been placed at the service of foreigners." The worst that was feared in Canton.

Mr. Patton added, was the breaking loose of the rabble, and "this can be cnrbed with comparatively little difficulty if Li Hung Chang remains in Canton." Change In Situation. Ia the Interval between June 21 and June 26 the date of the next letter from Mrs. Patton. the situation seems to have changed somewhat, for the letter of June 23 was written at Macao, a day or two after Mr.

and Mrs. Patton had taken refuge there. "Here we are In Macao," Mrs. Patton. writes, "refugees from the war, although not absolutely driven out.

yet It Is deemed eafer to have the women and children out of the place. The steamer every day brings a load" of Chinese and foreigners to this haven, for although very close to the main land and joined by a very narrow strip, still it is Portuguese territory, and safe by being that as far as can be. The missionaries took refuge here during the French, "War and stayed for two whole years. I wonder whether we must stay that long?" Mrs. Patton writes that the missionaries had had revolvers on hand for a couple of weeks before they left Canton.

"Whatever happens here, happens quickly and unexpectedly," she says. She adds that the Boxers are In evidence to a certain extent In Canton, that posters denouncing the foreigners and calling on Chinamen to kill the "foreign devils" and Christians had been circulated. Mrs. Patton states that the American. Consul was very emphatic about their leaving Canton, and that the day they left there June 23 he officially ordered the women either to go away altogether or to go to Shameen, from where, if there were an uprising, they could be gotten off to a gunboat.

R. White, of Rockville, returned home from Canton after eight years" service there a few months ago. Miss White spent a part of last winter In Baltimore and made a number of addresses. In one of them she spoke of Dr. Graves as the "encyclopedia" of missionaries.

When Miss White left Canton Dr. Graves was engaged on a translation of the Bible Into classic Chinese- Cablegram Says "We're Safe. During the latter part of July a cablegram was sent by Dr. Graves to the Baptist Mission Board In this country stating that the Baptist missionaries In Canton were safe.

Tax On Foreign Corporations. The Appeal Tax Court has asked the City Law Department for an opinion as to whether the court or tbt State Tax Commissioner shall deal in matters of taxation with foreign corporations which are local manufacturing concerns Incorporated under the laws of another State. The question was raised over a year ago, but was not definitely settled. If the Tax Court is to assess these corporations It will put on the tax hooka the individual holdings of received little or nothing for their serv ices, although they had been promised a salary." His Early Life. For a number of years Dr.

Wharton was prominent figure In Baptist circles In Baltimore and the news of his reported shortcomings -was much discussed yester day. Born at Western View, Culpeper coun ty, In 1848, Henry Marlon Wharton was the youngest of the eight children of Dr. John Wharton. He was the idol of his parents, brothers and sisters and was taught at home until he was equal in attainments to other youths of his age. He entered the Confederate Army, first as dispensary clerk in the hospital at Lynchburg and later as a soldier.

In this service he continued until he laid down bis arms at Appomattox. Upon his return from the war he was for a time depot agent at New Glasgow. Then he accompanied his father to Mexico, whence he returned at the end of a year broken in health. Soon afterward he en tered Roanoke College, Salem, and after leaving college studied law. He was admitted to the bar by special act before he was of age.

In The Ministry. At the age of 25, after he had been prac ticing law, he professed conversion and was baptized by his brother, Rev. Dr. M. B.

Wharton, then at Walnut Street Baptist Church, Louisville, Ky. Soon he expressed a desire to preach and in a few months entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Greenville, S. as a student for the ministry. He was ordained to the ministry for the First Baptist Church, of Eufala, Ala. His first regular pastorate he counted as of the church at Luray, which he increased to a strong congrega tion from 32 members when he took charge.

In 1881 Dr. Wharton came to Baltimore as pastor of Lee Street Baptist Church. He commenced his pastorate by holding nightly services for 10 weeks and received over 200 members into the church. Soon afterward he started a monthly church paper the Baltimore Baptist, which afterward became the Evangel. At this time he founded his first orphan age.

It was started a small way, Dur. soon grew, and a building at Fremont avenue and Lanvale street was secured for the destitute children. In addition he secured a 200-acre farm in the Valley of Virginia, near Luray, which he named Whosoever Farm, and established It as an orphanage without regard to denomination. During this time a mission was started by young people In Northwest Baltimore, to which Dr. Wharton was Invited to give some attention.

This mission grew so that a lot was purchased at the corner of Edmondson avenue and Schroeder street and now a $60,000 stone church shows the result of Dr. Wharton's labors. He became pastor of the congregation, which was called Brantly Memorial, after the late Rev. W. T.

Brantly, at that time pastor of Seventh Baptist Church. Evangelistic Labors. While pastor of Brantly Church Dr. Wharton Increased his evangelistic work throughout the South and East. He was absent from his congregation so much that a few years ago his brother, Rev.

Dr. M. B. Wharton, was called as co-pastor. He remained only a short time and about a year ago Dr.

H. M. Wharton also resigned. Since that time he has made his home In Philadelphia, where he has had an office In the WItherspoon Building and lived at 6370 Overbrook avenue, Overbrook, a fash ionable suburb of that city. It Is as an evangelist, lecturer and writer that Dr.

Wharton is best known. Besides being associated with well-known evangelists like the late Dwight L. Moody, Dr. Wharton conducted series of meetings under his own direction. Several of such series were held in Music Hall, Baltimore.

He twice visited Europe and used his trav els as the topics of lectures and evangel istic talks. Dr. Wharton's power probably rested in his close study of human nature and his ability to play upon the emotions of his audiences. He Is an Inimitable mimic and story teller and has a fund of anecdotes at his command with which to point a moral. He was a fine singer, with a pleasing voice, and his solos were always features of his meetings.

Added to this were an attractive personality and a sympathetic manner. In addition to his church work in Balti more Dr. Wharton founded the Wharton Barron Book Company, which has now become the Standard Publishing Company, having been taken over by a corporation. Thrnne-h this was Dublished many of his written volumes, which considerable sale. He received the degree of D.

D. from Harvard in 1S90. Dr. Wharton was twice married. His first wife was the daughter of Dr.

and Mrs George W. Rust, of Luray, who lived but three and a half years after her mar riasre. Several years aeo he married a daughter of Mr. James Pollard, a well- known Baltimore lawyer. At the Wind sor Hotel fire in New York Mrs.

Wharton escaped by sliding down a rope from the fifth story of the burning building. Dr. Wharton is also president of a woman's college at Luray, Va. GROCERY STORE BURNED Adjoining Property Damaged By Fire In Diddle Street. A fire broke out a few minutes before 11 o'clock last night at Joseph Woodson's grocery store, 627 Biddle street, destroying almost the entire stock of goods, valued at between $1,500 and damaging the building, owned by Mr.

Charles J. Vonlff, to the extent of $300; causing a damage of $100 to Mr. Frederick Willcox's baker shop, 629 West Biddle street, and damag ing the private dwelling of Mr. Richard D. Maynard, 625 West Biddle street, to the extent of $50.

Mr. Willcox's loss was covered by insurance. One of his large plate-glass windows was broken by the heat from the adjoining building. Six hundred loaves of bread were in the oven when the fire broke out and narrowly escaped being burned for want of attention. Mr.

Woodson's store was locked when the fire started and he was away. Some of his goods was saved, but the greater portion destroj'ed. The origin of the fire could not be learned. No. 4 Hook-and-Ladder and Engine Companies 7, 8 and 13 responded to the alarm, which was turned in by James T.

McGin-nis from the box at Greenwillow street and Pennsylvania avenue. Round Sergeant Louis Hahn and Sergeant Henry Wicks were in charge at the fire. RET. DR. COMPTON'S FAREWELL He Leaves Fuller Memorial To Do Evangelistic Work.

Rev. Dr. Theodore N. Compton, who has resigned the pastorate of Fuller Memorial Baptist Church, Baker and Carey streets, preached his last sermon at the church yesterday. His text was: "It Is Finished." He stated that while people are Interested in the last words of great men the last words of Christ should excite much greater interest.

Dr. Compton reviewed his work at Fuller Memorial Church during the past two years. Dr. Compton's reason for severing his connection with the church is because, he says, the pastorate requires too much time to allow him to carry on revival work. He will preach at the First Baptist Church next Sunday morning.

A few days later he will leave Baltimore for Kentucky, where he will spend the remainder of August with his mother. He expects to devote the months of September and October to carrying on evangelistic work in Mississippi and Texas. It is not known when Dr. Compton's successor at Fuller Memorial Church will be selected. The pulpit next Sunday will be filled by Rev.

W. W. Wood, of Frostburg. HAD 22 PAIRS OF TROUSERS Two Men Arrested With A Superfluity Of Clothing. Solomon Leary and Lewis Cohen were arrested Saturday by Patrolmen Lancaster and Klelnfelter, suspected of having robbed a store in Philadelphia, and they will be given a hearing at the Central Police Station today.

The capture was cleverly worked by Patrolman Lancaster. He met a man on Baltimore street who said he had been told by two men that they did a "job" in Philadelphia, were expecting the goods to arrive by express and asked him to meet them at the office of the Adams Express Company at 11 o'clock. The patrolman went to the express office and found a package from Philadelphia addressed to Solomon Leary. The two policemen concealed themselves in the office and at 11 o'clock two men came in and asked for the package, paid 45 cents charges and were about to walk out when they were arrested. At the statlonhouse a jimmy was found in Leary's hip pocket and Lieutenant Cole recognized him as the man whom he arrested and convicted several years ago for breaking showcases on Baltimore street, for which he served 18 months in the penitentiary.

The package contained 22 pulrs of trousers, supposed to have been stolen with many other articles last Wednesday night from Kntz Sixth and Market streets, i Philadelphia, DR. WHARTON ACCUSED Arrested For Obtaining Property By False Pretenses. IS RELEASED ON $1,000 BAIL Miss Clara. Somen, Of Ocean Grove, IV. The' Complainant Dr.

Wharton's Statement Of The Case. Rpv. Dr. Henrv M. Wharton, the evan gelist, formerly of Baltimore, was arrested on Saturday at Ocean City, N.

on the charge of obtaining property under false pretenses. The rhnr ia made bv Miss Clara Som- ers, 33 Main avenue, Ocean Grove, N. according to a dispatch from Asbury Park. She asserts that Dr. Wharton secured from her property valued at $6,000 by false pretenses.

At the same time Mr. Albert W. Cooper, 207 North Fulton avenue, Baltimore, is seeking to have Dr. Wharton pay the interest on a mortgage of $8,000 which he holds on the property. The mortgage was given nearly two years ago, and It Is said no Interest has been paid.

At a nrellminary hearing Dr. Wharton was released In $1,000 bail to await the action of the Monmouth county (New Jersey) grand Jury. How He Met. Miss somen. About two rears ago Dr.

Wharton took an active part in the young people's meetings in Ocean Grove, being associated with Rev. Charles H. Yatman. Later he was Interested with Col. Henry H.

Hadley in rpscne meetings that were held in a tent on Cookman avenue. Among the attendants at the latter meetings was Miss Somers. She heard Dr. Wharton tell of the necessity of homes for the orphans of soldiers killed in the Spanish-American War. At one time Dr.

Wharton proposed establishing such a home on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Miss Somers said that she was willing to give 5 acres of a 10-acre tract which she owned for such a home. The property was to be held by -trustees. The papers were made out at Long Branch and signed by Miss Somers transferring the property, which was on Corlles avenue, est Strove. The home was founded and named after the late Frances Willard.

Several months later. Miss Somers said, she found that the deed called for the whole of the 10 acres and was made out to Dr. Wharton personally and not to a board of trustees. At that time Dr. Wharton was on an evangelistic tour to Rich mond, when, it is said, he secured a loan of $5,000 on the property from Mr.

Georse W. LIbbey. of that city. Next Dr. Wharton met Mr.

Cooper and It Is charged Induced him to make a loan of $8,000 on the property, the Richmond mortgage not having been recorded. Mr. Cooper filed his mortgage and then learned of the Richmond mortgage. He consulted Miss Somers and they retained Lawyer James D. Carton, of Asbury Park, to Degin proceeu- ings against the evangelist.

It is said that Miss Somers paid only $6,000 originally for the entire property, which has been mortgaged accoramg to report for $13,000. Denies AHegea interviews. Mr. Cooper said last night that his deal ing with Dri Wharton had been purely a business one. He was mentioned as a principal in having Dr.

Wharton arrested and was quoted in two Baltimore Sunday papers as saying that he intended to push the case. These interviews Mr. Cooper denies absolutely. He said last night that Dr. Wharton's arrest was a surprise to him, as he had not been kept informed as to what action Miss Somers would take.

He said he was looking for a good invest ment for his money and through a friend, who was also a friend of Dr. harton, the transaction was made. As the description of the property was satisfactory he said he was willing to make the investment, which was done in good faith. When the interest was not paid Mr. Cooper began to make inquiries.

He entered Into correspondence with Miss Somers, who had learned that the property was mortgaged to him. Through her Mr. Cooper learned of the other loan made on the property and he was taking steps looking to foreclosure of his mortgage to secure his loan. Mr. Cooper says he will probably have to wait now to see whether Dr.

Wharton's title In the property Is confirmed or not before he can foreclose his mortgage. In case the property reverts to Miss Somers Mr. Cooper's mortgage may be worthless. Mr. Cooper is not a member oi ur.

Wharton's former church and did not know him until this transaction. Br. Wharton Preaches. A special dispatch to The Sun from Ocean City last night says: Rev. Henry M.

Wharton, who was ar rested here yesterday on his arrival from Louisville, on a warrant charging him with obtaining property at Asbury Park under false prestenses from Miss Clara Seiners, entered $1,000 bail for his appear- ar.ee at the next term of the Monmouth Conntv Court at Freehold, N. Dr. Gilbert E. Palen, of Philadelphia, becoming his bondsman. He preached to large congregations to day, both morning and, evening, at the Auditorium.

At tonight's service he spoke on the charges and was followed by a num ber of clergymen and laymen. Dr. Wharton's Statement. To your representative this afternoon he made the following statement: "On my arrival here yesterday at Hotel Brighton, and not at the Auditorium, or any meetinir. as soon as I had registered and received my mail, an orrlcer presented me with a warrant demanding my presence at Asburv Park to answer certain charges made against me by Miss Clara Somers, of that place.

These charges were that i had obtained property from her under false pretenses. "Two years ago, while at Ocean Grove, N. which adjoins Asbury Park, I made public mention of the fact that I had In my care two orphanages, one for white and one for colored children, and a large school for girls, located in Virginia and North Carolina. A short time after that I received a letter from Miss Clara Somers offering to give me a certain property at Asbury Park for the purpose of opening another orphanage. Her only request was that It should bear the name of Willard Home.

The property contained 10 acres ground and buildings. Miss Somers conveyed the property to me in fee without any conditions whatever. It was understood that it should be used as an orphan age and it has been used for that purpose alone. "As to the mortgages I will explain them fully at the proper time. I was advised that as the property had been put entirely in my possession I had the perfect right to raise money upon it to carry on my work.

It became one of the homes under my care and received the support I was able to give. It has taken all I could make by ministry or gather from my friends to meet the great and pressing demands upon me. I came directly from Louisville, Ky. here, having closed a series of meetings there last Wednesday night. I was not taken from any meeting here.

As soon as it was found what was wanted friends here willingly came and made themselves responsible for my appearance when and wherever wanted. "I am fulfilling my engagement here and expect to go right on with my work. I go to Luray, this week, where my or phanages are, and where our summer assembly is now in progress. I have no doubt or fear whatever of the thorough vindication of what I have done when the facts are brought to light, as they soon will be." Miss Somers Determined. A special dispatch to The Stjn from As bury Park, N.

last night says: "The news of the arrest of the Rev Henry M. Wharton, the evangelist, on charges of embezzlement and obtaining property under false pretenses, has caused a profound sensation in Ocean Grove, par ticularly among the clergy. Some sympa thize with the evangelist, while others and they are in the majority condemn him for alleged shrewd practices. "Miss Carrie M. Somers, from whom Evangelist Wharton secured the property on which he raised $13,000, was seen tonight at her home in Ocean Grove.

She is prostrated over the affair, but adheres to her determination to prosecute the minis ter to the full extent of the law. Miss Somers says she wrote to Dr. Wharton over a year ago telling him that it was his duty as a man and a minister of the Gospel to rectify the wrong he had com mltted, but he paid little attention to the communications. 'I had implicit confidence In him at the start, said Miss Somers in an Interview, 'and was shocked I learned how I had been deceived. My sympathy is for his family.

I would have commenced proceedings before this had I not felt sorry ior nis wire ana ennaren. "Miss Somers declared that she had hesi tated a long while before putting the case in the hands of a lawyer on account of the notoriety that would follow the clergy roan arrest. "It transpired tonight that a Mr. and Mrs. Andre, who were engaged by Dr.

I Wharton to take charge of the home, had Issued By The Cleric Of The Court Of Common Pleas. The following marriage licenses were Issued Saturday In Baltimore, the parties residing in Baltimore unless otherwise stated: Augustus R. Des Roche, widower, Emily Johnson, widow. Applicant, Mrs. E.

First 3d I Last 17th Full moon 10th I New moon 24th THORNTON MIFFLIN DROWNED Sank Within 15 Feet Of His Friends' Boat Off Claiborne, Md. Fifteen feet from a boat containing two of his friends, only a little way from another who was endeavoring to rescue him, giving directions to the occupants of the boat as to how to assist him and save him, Thornton Mifflin, 18 years old, son of Dr. Robert W. Mifflin, 1016 Madison avenue, was drowned about 5.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at Wade's Point, Claiborne. The young man knew how to swim, and was fully three minutes at the surface of the water, begging his companions to hand him an oar from the boat before he sank.

He was cool and collected; more so than those who attempted his rescue. He sank only once, never coming to the surface again alive. He had been boarding at Claiborne, and yesterday afternoon went bathing. He pushed a boat from shore for several hun dred feet. In another boat were M.

How ard Mettee, and a young man named Thomas. Young Mifflin left his boat and climbed Into theirs. He did not notice that they were drifting out slowly all the time, and after a few moments he sprang Into the water. The boat had gone beyond the shallow water, and, when he found that he could not touch bottom, he called to his companions to hand him an oar, which they attempted to do, but it lacked about nine inches of being long enough to reach him. Then they tred to throw the boat line to him, but that, too, would not reach.

Young Mettee seized the oars and tried to work the boat around, but could not do so In time to save his friend. Not many yard3 away another swimmer was making desperate attempts to get to the drowning man. It proved to be a Dr. Milholland. but when he had almost succeeded In his endeavors his strength gave out and he was forced to save himself, seeing the unfortunate young man drown so close and yet so far from assistance.

When he sank Mifflin was not more than 15 feet from the boat. He went down with few struggles. His last words being: "Push me that oar. The body was recovered, and last night Mr. M.

Howard Mettee, and Mr. H. Webster Crowl left for Bradshaw, Baltimore county, where the young man's par ents are living for the summer, to break the sad news to them. $1,500,000 Contract For Cars.

Martin Cradel, 35 years old, was fined $10 and costs yesterday by Justice Fowler at the Southern Police Station on the charge of disturbing the peace early yesterday morning at 1405 Haubert street. He was also committed for court on the charge of attempting to kill his wife, Rosa Cradel, at 1405 Haubert street. The testimony showed that Cradel and his wife have not been living together for some time and that Cradel had recently grown jealous.

CONVENTION AT T0TTS0N TODAY The Carroll County Delegates Hold The Key To The Situation And Will Determine The Result. Political Interest in Maryland th'ls week concentrates about the Congressional conventions to be held In the various districts and some well developed contests are scheduled. The Second District Republican Conven tion will be held at noon today In the courthouse at Towson, and the indications are that Mr.

A. A. Blakeney, of Franklin-ville, Baltimore county, will be the nominee, although considerable opposition to him has developed, and a rather compact organization has been formed to prevent his nomination. A combination exists be tween the Baltimore city and the Cecil county delegates, It is said, which, with the co-operation of Carroll county, can defeat Mr. Blakeney.

The Carroll delegates thus hold the key to the situation and their position today will be watched with interest. Dr. Baughman, of Carroll county, the anti-Blakeney forces claim, is a candidate for the nomination and could secure It by a combination of Cecil, Carroll and Baltimore city votes, but it is said he is not more acceptable to the city delegates than Blakeney. The Democratic Second District convention will meet on August 15 at Havre de Grace, and there seems nothing in the way of Mr. Talbott's nomination.

If Mr. Blakeney secures the nomination it will be the first time in many years that both candidates have come from Baltimore county. At the close of the convention today the Republicans will have made four out of the six Congressional nominations In the State, while the Democrats have not as yet made a nomination. In The First District. Several new candidates for the Republican nomination In the First district are coming to light.

Within the last few days the names of Walter Miller, of Wicomico county; James Wallace, of Dorchester county, and Wilbur Eliason, of Kent county, have been brought forward. Mr. Miller's home Is at Salisbury, where he is in business, and it is claimed by his friends that he will be the nominee. Mr. Wallace was a former member of the House of Delegates and Mr.

Eliason is looked upon as the leader of the party In Kent county. State Senator Moore, for the long term, and ex-State Treasurer Brown, for the short term, are the most prominently mentioned Democrats. The district is generally regarded as surely Democratic. Looking After Registration. Both Democratic and Republican managers are making active preparations for registration work, and It will not be the fault of either if every man entitled to vote In this State has not his name enrolled on the registration books this fall.

This year the Republican organization has placed the city registration in the hands of Mr. W. M. Stewart, who has already started an aggressive movement to get out the voters. In former years this position was filled by Mr.

William T. Henderson, but this time Mr. Henderson has associated himself with the United Republicans of Maryland, whose declared object in existence is to fight the Union League and Columbian Club, so the job went to Mr. Stewart. Chairman Vandlver has announced that Mr.

B. Frank Crouse and Mr. Alfred Ritter have charge of the county registration and the city end will be looked after by the State Central Committee, with the co-op eration of the city committees. Bryan And Roosevelt Expected. Through his secretary, Mr.

M. Barratt Walker, Mr. Vandlver Is communicating with the precinct executives In the counties in regard to conditions there, with a view to nerfectine the organization. The State Central Committee has also re quested a supply of campaign literature from the National Committee, and is pre pared to flood the districts with It. By mutual consent it seems that there will be no campaign oratory to speak of by either Democrats or Republicans, until next month.

From September 1, however, to the close of the campaign, it is said, there will be a display of oratorical pyrotechnics that has not been equaled in Maryland for years. Statesmen and speakers of nation al reputation are to be asked here by both parties. The Democrats, It is stated, will ask Mr. Bryan to speak here when he comes East, and it is confidently expected he will visit Maryland in October. Mr.

Bryan will probably have time to deliver but one speech, and that, of course, will be In Baltimore, but his appearance here will be made the occasion of a great rejoicing among Democrats. The Republicans are making efforts to secure the presence of Governor Roosevelt in Maryland In the same month and with Bryan and Roosevelt here at the same time the State is likely to be stirred to the very core. Indianapolis Notification. Pol. Edward J.

Chaisty and Mr. John Keating, of Cumberland, will leave this afternoon for Indianapolis, where they will loin the committee to notify the Democrat ic candidates of their nomination. Colonel Chaisty is a member of the committee to notify Bryan and Mr. Keating to notify Stevenson. An oversight npon.the part of Colonel Baughman caused them to receive the letters advising them of the program In a rather roundabout way.

When their names were given to Secretary Walsh, Col Baughman neglected to give the addresses, and Mr. Walsh, who knew no other prominent Maryland Democrat except ex-Sena tor Gorman, sent them to him. Mr. Gorman was then at Magnolia, and promptly mailed the notices to the Mary land Committeemen. Mr.

Harry Roundtree, who was one of the Maryland delegates to Kansas City, will accompany Colonel Chaisty and Mr. Keating. General Jackson Resigns. The result of the protest made by the Democratic League of Maryland to Mr W. R.

Hearst, president of the National Association of Democratic Clubs, against the appointment of Gen. L. L. Jackson as the representative from Maryland because of his opposition to Mr. Bryan, promptly resulted in the resignation of General Jackson.

The resignation was accepted and Mr. Max F. Ihmsen, secretary of the association, has written a letter to Mr. E. Beveridge, secretary of the Democratic League, here to that effect.

The appoint ment of another Marylander will be made shortly. The League will hold two open-air meetings Thursday night of this week, one on the City Hall Plaza, and the other at Chase street and Broadway. A big mass-meeting under the auspices of the Maryland League of Republican Clubs is being planned for September 11 at Music It is said ex-Gov. J. B.

Fo-raker and other outside speakers will be present. PERSONAL Brief Items About Baltimoreans And Their Friends. Mrs. Hays is at Stafford, Md. Mr.

Mrs. J. E. Hogg and son. Miss EdithK gate an alleged case of 111 treatment, to a young woman in the private sanitarium of Dr.

Flora A. Brewster, 1221 Madison avenue. The neighborhood has been highly excited over the matter for several days, but affairs reached a crisis when an altercation over the treatment of the patient occurred between Dr. Brewster and Mrs. H.

A. Tupper, who resides at No. 1219, just one house below the sanitarium. Mrs. Tupper said last night her attention was first called to the case two weeks ago when she came to board with Mr.

and Mrs. J. T. Adair. Her room was the second-story back and she was disturbed by cries as If from a person "being put under the influence of chloroform." At times she would hear cries, as "Oh, Father! Oh, have pitv on me!" etc.

She asked the housemaid, Lucy, where these noises came from and she told her from the insane girl next door. Sunday a week ago Mrs. Tupper said she heard some one on the porch of the sanitarium opposite her window crying: "Oh, why am I here! It never was necessary for me to come here." At the same time, Mrs. Tupper says, there was the dull clank of a chain. Looking out of the window through the vines about the porch she saw a slight girl, with dark hair, sitting in a chair and Dr.

Brewster and an attendant about to pinion her arms behind her back. At this the girl Increased her entreaties not to be bound, saying: "Don't do that." and as Dr. Brewster started to gag her she "gave an awful shriek." "Seeing me," said Mrs. Tupper, "she came up under my window and said: 'Do her cries disturb 'Not so much," 1 replied, as your Inhuman treatment." 'We treat her kindly, said Dr. Brewster.

'If we did not tie her she would run herself crazy. 'The girl seems suffering from a form of nervousness, I replied, 'and I don't think your treatment is qualified to cure it. 'The girl is insane, said Dr. Brewster. Ton know nothing about it, and it is none of your business.

At that the girl was taken into the house, and as she went she turned to me and said: 'Madam, it is not true. Those who testify to seeing the girl chained besides Mrs. Tupper are Mrs. C. F.

Sugg, Mr. and Mrs. Adair, the housegirl, Lucy; Mr. Lumley, who lives with Mr. Adair, and a nurse in the same house.

Mr. James H. Wright, 1225 Madison avenue, says the girl escaped to the back yard one night by way of a tree, and he heard Dr. Brewster say she would have to "put her in the 6traitjacket again." Dr. Brewster said last night that the girl was insane, and had been placed there by her father to be treated.

It was necessary, she said, from the nature and origin of her disease, to tie the girl when the attendant was absent, but that the girl was not treated badly. She denied that she had pinched or slapped the patient, or that any of her attendants had. She admitted one of her attendants had called the girl a "devil." but that she left the sanitarium some time ago and the present nurse was more gentle. "At night," said Dr. Brewster, "she sleeps in the Hooper rest sheet and strait-jacket, which is necessary for her medical treatment." Mrs.

Brewster said the girl was never actually violent, but sullen, and she had oi Tiffifiilrv -with hpr. When the patient first came she tried to starve herself. Dr. Brewster says, and tried to commit suicide with carbolic acid, matches and drowning in the bathtub. She has even now, the Doctor says, to force her to take her meals.

She denies that the girl is weaker, but says she will be eventually cured. Dr. Brewster said she had used handcuffs on the glrL The young lady is about 22 years old, accomplished and a beautiful pianist. Her father is a man of some prominence on the Eastern Shore. Mr.

and Mrs. Joshua F. Sindell, who live next door to the sanitarium, said that the girl was being well treated, as far as they knew, and they thought she was being cured.
