Fellow citiZens:-rhe hour is late, and
this magnificent demonstration has con
sumed an unexpected length of time. |
perceive you are anxiously waiting the
commencement of the speaking. | shall
occupy your attention but moment with
my remarks, for it is not my purpose, nor
is it my province at this time to discuss
the political topics of the day. That duty
is about to be performed by one far ADLER
| and more competent than myself; by a
| distinguished citizen of undoubted learn
ing and ability, of unsullied personal in
| tegrity, whose political record is unblem
ished, and who has shown himself both in
peace and war, patriot and statesman
have but to mention his name to have it
Familiarity recognized by every one pres
ent, as well as by his fellow citizens any
where and everywhere throughout the
nation. Permit me then the honor and
the pleasing privilege of now introducing
to the audience the distinguished orator
of this occasion, Honorable Joseph E.

The whole was nicely shown off by the
fine illumination from the windows.
The residence of our present chief exec

The magnificent residence of Hon. P.
L. Gable, Non Moline avenue, was grandly
decorated. The fine large windows were
in blaze of glory as a welcome TO the
honored ex-senator of Indiana. The dec
orations were of the finest and there was
not residence in the city that was more
handsomely decorated nor illuminated
than was Mr.. Cables.
Mr.. NJ. s. O'Neil decorated his residence
in a very tasteful manner. Festoons,
flags and Chinese lanterns, shown off by
Examinations, combined to make one of
the very handsomest shows in the city.
B. d. Bufords residence comes in for be-
ing one of the most handsomely decorated
in the entire city. A pen description can
not begin to do it justice. 1t was simply
magnificent, and all who saw it so voted
it.
W. 0. Negus residence was finely dec
grated with flags and illuminated with
Chinese lanterns. 1t was greatly admired.
Mrs. Knowlton showed her patriot adj
miration of the democratic party by dec

G. W, Negus residence came in for its
share of admiration and well it deserved
it, too, for it was very nicely decorated.
Major Buford's residence was grandly
decorated and Illuminated. Here again
nothing but ordinations of delighted
surprise could be heard.
W. j. Kerr had fine decoration in ex
celient taste, and the illumination was
splendid
Sewell Dodge was not behind the others
in his decorations or Examinations. His
place was magniicently shown off
The residence of John Ohlweiler was
one of the most handsomely decorated in
the city. Two little girls dressed in gay
attire waved flags and cheercd the clubs
as they passed by.
Louis May sresidence on Second avenue
was very handsomely and tastefully dee
Grated and illuminated.
! The above are few of the many fine
decorations which our reporter caught on
the fly. If anyone has been omitted it is
not intentional, as it is no easy matter to
catch all when there were so many excel>
lent decorations and Examinations. 1t is
safe to say that Rock Island never was
more handsomely decorated and illumin
ated than it was on last Saturday evening.

Special Collector Of BarreIed oysters.

Commander Waddell of the oyster
navy, has appointed Mr.. George w.
Hodges, of Baltimore, as special COL
lector OF the three cent tax levied by
the State on steamboats, carrying
oysters in barrels on their regular
route, to be collected monthly. The
collection of this tax is meeting with
considerable opposition from the steam
boat companies, some Of whom CON-
plain that to conform with the law
they would have to pay twice over
the same route. They are required,
they say, to pay the Virginia tax,
and think this is sufficient when
trading between Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1884-09-04

Attorney General Roberts had a
consultation with Commander Wad-
dell, of the oyster feet, on the law
imposing tax of three cents per bar
rel, on oysters. The former gave it as
his opinion that the law must been
forced The latter believes this sec.
tioRof the law to be unconstitutional,
but will enforce it in accordance with
the Att'Y-General's opinion, until a
test case is made. It is an old query
when Doctors disagree, who is to
decide ?" But fortunately or other
wise, in the oyster question it is to be
presumed that the Atty General is
right, and his decision, although
only directory, must be followed, as
the commander in chief has no author
ity, under the law, to construe its
provisions, contrary to the dictum of
the States law officer.

Luscious Grapes.

The CAPITAL returns its thanks to
Mr. John Hengartner for the fine
basket of grapes of which its sanctum
was the recipient this morning. The
present, although quite unexpected,
was fully appreciated they were Of
the largest size grape that we have
ever seen raised about Annapolis, and
are very luscious and pleasant to the
palate. Mr.. Hengartner, has q large
crop of this beautiful fruit, on his
place near this city, and it cannot be
surpassed, so far as superiority of this
fruit extends.

Fathers and mothers, look out for
your boys when the shadows Of even
ing have gathered round you / Where
are they then (? Are they home. at the
pleasant, social freside. or are thew
running streetsg Are they gaining 4
street education? !? II so, take care :
the chances Of their ruin are manv
There is scarcely anything so destruc.
tive to their morals as running abroad
at night. Under cover of darkness
they acquire the education Of crime
they learn to be rowdyish, If not vic.
ious; they catch up loose talk. they
imbibe sinful thoughts, and they see
obscene things, and they become reck.
less and riotous. If you would save
them from ruin, see to it that nirht
finds them at home. More than one
man has acknowledged that here was
the beginning ofhis downward course
that finally brought him to the feIon's
cell. Let the parents solemnly pom
der this matter, and do all thev can
to make home attractive to aiI the
chlldren-so attractive that the bows
will prefer it to running the streets.
This applies with equal force to your
girl children.

LOCAL NEWS OF THE DAY
Peaches and Potatoes.

The peach receipts yesterday, in
Baltimore, amounted to more than
$4,000 boxes, which, with the stock
left over from the day before, made
the supply about 10000 boxes. The
market was not very brisk, although
the prices ruled we'll under the cir
cumstances. Yellow fruit ranged
from IS cents to $1.l0 per box, and
good white peaches sold at so to IS
cents. A few lots of choice yellows
brought as much as $l.25 to $3.50
per box. But this grade of fruit was
very scarce. The market was choked
with very Indifferent white fruit,
much of which was disposed of at
40 cents per box.
The sweet potato market was very
active, the supply exceeding that of
any day during the season. Receipts
were in excess of 5, 900 barrels, $500
OF which came by steamers of the
Eastern Shore Line and the balance
on sail vessels.

The afternoon trips on the steamer
"Juniata," up the Severn, have been
well patronized BY our citizens. The
steamer leaves her wharf, foot of lain
street, about 2 o'clock, and does not
return often until after six O'Clock,
thus affording five and six hours
on the beautiful Severn. These trips
are very beneficial to the health of
women and children, and we are
glad to learn many are taking advan-
tage of them.

will there be defeated nearly two

have involved a recognition of her

without any funeral ceremony from
