By that term we mean sensibly and
gentlemanly attired. If so, and in need
of any masculine apparel, please call

truest balance, and best average form,
securing to the wearers, of good or bad

not attainable in this city outside of
the best class of merchant tailoring es
tablishments. We show garments to
day which are as tine as it is possible
for human hands to produce at any
price or by any methods, and can sup

Deceased.
Mrs, Jane Holland Sands, wife of
Capt. James Sands, aged 68 years,
died at 3 o’clock this morning at her
late residence on Prince Georg* st.
Mrs. Sands has been a patienUsuf
ferer for many years and her death
has been expected for some time.—
She was a lady of estimable charac
ter, and beloved by all who knew
her. Although 'death came at an
advanced age, it but too soou bereft
those left behind, of a devoted wife, a
fond mother and a firm and true
friend. Mrs. Sands leaves a husband
and six children. This is the fifth
death, within a year, in the Sands
family.
Mr. P. W. Wit wright, a well known
citizen of this cofluty, aged about 60
years, died on Sunday.
To be Uniformed.
The Commander of the State Oyster
Police Navy, determined to give our
oyster police force all the appearance
of a naval fleet, clothed with authority
from the seat of government, has or
dered the officers and crew' of the sev- ;
eral vessels of the fleet to be clothed
in a uniform of navy blue and brass
buttons, emblematical of their author
. ity. We think this a move in the
right direction.
School Board.
The School Board of this county j
received to-day and referred to Dr. N.
S. Knighton a communication from j
the authorities of Calvert county rel- j
alive t*“ children on the border attend
ing Schools of this and Calvert conn

pointment of trustees of school at

The Democratic County Conven
tion met here to-day, at the appointed
hour, and was called to order by Gen.
F. A. Bond. Dr. Thomas Welch
was made chairman. Dr. Welch
said that they had met to take meas
ures to elect a democratic president
and a democratic congressman for
the sth district, and that he wished
them God speed. Mr. Edwin Gott
was made secretary. There being
no contests, there was no committee
on credentials appointed. On motion
of Mr. Grafton Duvall, the conven
tion proceeded to the nomination of
live delegates to the State Convention.
The following gentlemen were
nominated Samuel S. Acton, Grafton
Duvall, Dr. Jos. R. Owens, Robert
M. Cheston, Win. T. Iglehart, George
M<> Murry. Mr. Duvall withdrew his
name and the five left were selected
by acclamath n.
The following were nominated as
j delegates to the congressional conven
tion: IT. H. Brogden, Wm. E Shipley,
Dr. W. S. Williams, Wm. Snowden,
Elijah Williams, Captain Frank L.
Griffith. f
Dr. Williams withdrew his name.
By authority and for the sake of har
mony, Mr. Gott- withdrew the name

ing on withdrawing his name, Mr.
Gott nomination of Mr.

Iglehart, E. E. Gott, Jr.
Mr. 11. 11. Brogden offered the
following resolution:
Resolved, by the democrats of
Anne Arundel county, in convention
assembled, that we but voice the
I unauimous sentiment of the people
we represent when we urge that
; Samuel J. Tilden, of New York,
should be nominated for the high
; office of which he was deprived bv
the fraud and military pow* r in
1876. The opionion universally
prevails among the democracy of
I Anne Arundel county that uuder his
leadership a victory will surely be
won for reform in the tariff, for abate
ment of the burdens of taxation and for
| a restoration of official honesty and
I purity.
Mr. Wm. F. Williams seconded
motion amd it was unanimously
adopted:
General Bond offered the followii g
| resolution:
Resouled, by the representatives of
the Democratic party of Anne Arun
del county or convention, assembled,
i that in view of his well-known and
deserved popularity, his faithful party
allegiance, his services and qualifica
tion as a public and his merit
as a man and a'citizen, the Hon.
Barnes Compton of Prince Geoige’s
county is regarded as the most suit
able and available candidate of the
democratic party for congress in this
district, and that in the opin on of
this convention, he should be nomi
nated as suc& candidate. Adopted.
Dr. Tbos. Welch offered a resolu
tiou, favoring the nomination of Tilden
and Hendricks, and opposing the
Morrison tariff bill, which was
adopted and the con ventftin adjourned.
A meeting of the Central Committee
was held immediately afterward to
i arrange for campaign.

The Maryland Hotel.
For several weeks past this hotel
so long and favorably known to the
travelling public, has been advertised
for sale or lease. It has been con
ducted successfully for the past twelve
years under the preseut management,
and we venture to say no hotel in the
State daring that time, has eDjoyed
a more lucrative business. The many
friends of the present managers of
this hotel, will regret to learn of their
retirement from the business. No
city or town in the State is better
adapted for the hotel business than
Annapolis—situated as it is with its
beautiful scenery, and water sur*ound
ings—with railroad and steamboat
communicatian with Baltimore and
Washington daily; the United States
Naval Academy, the Court of Ap
peals, aud the Legislature—are of
themselves a sufficient guarantee of a
successful business in this line. In
short Annapolis could not do with
out a first-class hotel, such as the
Maryland has been.

The Hoard of Visitors, Naval Acad
emy, witnessed to-day steam tactics,
by the l\rst class, under I it. \. L,
Houston. “There were eight steam
launches in the drill, and it made au
interesting spectacle. The class, un*
der Lieut. A. C. Dillingham, jk’avo an
exhibition of signaling, under Myers
System. There were seven stations,
about two hundred yards apart, under
charge of cadets Taylor, Poe, Gilmer,
Evans, Fenton, Dutton and McKay.
The message as follows: general ket
tle drum will proceed at once to the
support of General Bombshell on
the left of the liue, was selected by
the Board of Visitors, and started
away from the Board House. TLe
curiously colored flags began to wave,
first at one station and then at another
until at the end of a half hour it re
turned to the Board House without a
syllable missing. The third and
fourt classes were exercised in boats
under oars Lieut. W. P. Clnson. An
artillery drill took place this afternoon.
Suspicions Movements of Vessels.
A correspondent in the neighbor
hood of Eastern Bay, and other oys
ter bars, writes to the Centreville
Observer of Saturday as follows:—-
“We have been informed that there
are occasionally suspicious crafts
cruising around on the waters of
Chester river and Eastern bay. A
close watch is constantly kept upon
such characters. If they mean dredg
ing, just let them pitch in, and they
will soon lind out at a severe cost
that oyster thieves under the present
State law will be shown but little
mercy. Already efforts are being
made to evade the law by conveyiug
oysters upon our waters to northern
markets, claiming to have been caught
in other States. Phis thing is, how
ever, being investigated by the pro
per authorities. We regard that the
letter of the present late oyster law
is very'much better than the proba
ble spirit of the same. Don’t touch
an oyster •until the time is out, should
be the honest motto of every of the
precious bivalve.”
