The following memorial has been
prepared by the committee appointed
at the Citizens meeting. and will be
laid bef ire our Legislature on Mon
day next for their consideration:
TO The Honorable, tbs General Asssmb !
If Maryland.
We, the undersigned, o committee
appointed by the citizens OF Annano
lis, and representing five-sixths Of the
business men Of the city, respectable
memorabilia your honorable body to
re-submit TO the popular vote the
Local Option Law of Anne Arundel
County, as far as concerns A Annapolis
for which purpose bill is before Won
for consideration, for many reasons:
lst The great majority of the
signers Of the memorial heretofore
presented to your honorable BODY
voted in favor of Local Option when
it was submitted to the people, and
therefore are entitled to respectful
hearing.
2nd We were told that it would
do no harm to try the law; that the
people bad a right to pass on IT; that
If it proved failure it could be re-
submitted, and that then the people
could repeal it If they cav fit to do
80.
3rd. We solemnIy charge that the
law is not only failure 10 Annapo-
lis city. but a ridiculous farce. No
one can truthfuIly deny it.
Alb. Drinking habits may have
been, more or less. changed. but have
been far from improved on the whole.
9Th. The Local Option Law. has
not perceptibly diminished the guam
tity Of liquor consumed. Drunken
ness 10 this city has been actually in
creased 1t has become more fragrant
and notorious than ever before. Stag
gering men and boys are now most
frequent spectacle on the streets OF
the city.
9Th The law has intensified de-
bauchery. Drinking ia somewhat
more secret. but is known to be WIDE
spread. Having broken down all
safeguards, it now menaces all the
minors of the city with the infatua-
tons Of secret vice. And even our
Sundays are frequently consecrated
to debaucbery by the young.
7tb. We charge and insist that the
Legislature cannot amend this law
without our consent. The Legisla-
ture did not make it, because they re-
manded the matter to the people, and
it was the people who made it; and
it is only the people who can undo or
modify it.
9Th. 1t has deranged our business
and driven it out of the city.
9th. legislators are law
abidiog, We favor temperance, we
would approve all wise laws to re-
strain drunkenness, all laws in the
interest Of virtue, morality, and the
protection Of our youth. The great
majority of Us, for these reasons,
voted for the law.
We beg you to listen to us. We
state facts. And we challenge sny
disproval of what we allege.
We charge that the Local Option
Law opens wide the doors of vice 10
may. forms, such as excessive card
playing, Sabbath breaking and Sun
day dissertation, drunkenness and de-
bauchery, with numerous other temp
tations not heard Of before, to 1.-The
young add thoughtless.
You thought it right to ask cur
consent to the law. And that is all
we beg now-simply to express our
selves at the polls-that aud nothing
more. Respectfully presented, VIM

Dinners for a Cent.
Toronto Globe.

To meet the case of poor, underfed
school children there has for some
time past been pretty general move
ment In England for getting up for
such warm, wholesome and SO far
abundant dinners for penny. This
enterprise can not be said to have fail
ed, but it could not meet The case of
those all too numerous who can not
secure the necessary coin. In order
then TO befriend this still lower
stratum, the half-penny dinner has
been established at Birmingham, and,
we are assured, it is not only doing
great deal of good, but is actually, as
FAR as 1t has gone, financial success.
Each child has the choice of hot
milk and bread, or thick soup with
bread. AS q second course the little
diner has piece Of bread with either
cheese or jam. It seems from expe-
renee that milk and jam are the favor
lite dishes with poor children. The
soup is Of such a quality that it is
popular with the ladies and gentlemen
who comprise the voluntary staff.
Tickets are sold to charitable ladies
and gentlemen at 81 % per hundred,
leaving something of margin for
working expenses. These tickets are
distributed among the poor children
to whom penny dinners are unattain-
able luxuries.
It is sad enough that there should,
in what is called ''Merrie England"
be SO many school children so under
fed that even a half-penny dinner is
beyond their means. Most may be
inclined to think that there is no such
pitiable abject poverty in Canada.
We hope there is not; but it is not
quite at all an established fact that no
such dinners could with us, even, find
customers. We venture, on the con-
trary, to say that not a few in this
very city, and these adults as well as
children, would be only too glad to
avail themselves of cent dinners, and
that not from stinginess, but absolute
need

The Theater Nuisance .

Every sensible and well-behaved
person who goes to the theater or the
opera will most heartily indorse the
following pertinent suggestions of the
Chicago Tribune:
A code of stringent laws setting
forth the etiquette to be observed al
the opera or the play would be bles
sing to the community. Ii they could
be drawn up so as to punish the
late corners who ruin the first act, the
early goers who ruin the last act, and
to compel women to remove the abom-
nations they wear upon their heads
which cut off the view of those VINO
have the misfortune to sit behind
them, rendering visible only the gas
borders in the flies. they would confer
a boon on the suffering public. In
these respects the English, as well as
the Continental countries, have the
advantage OF us. The area of freedom
which we enjoy is not confined to good
manners. Vulgarity has the widest
latitude, and a half dozen Doors in a
theater may infringe upon the comfort
of more than thousand people with
perfect impunity. As these are days
of reform perhaps some one can sug-
gest a remedy for these evils.

She Couldn't Stop Talking.
New York Journal.

One Of the fastest takers on record
was witness before Judge Peckham
and q jury yesterday. It was Mrs.
NJ, died in a lunatic asylum in April,
1884. After that event his widow and
others organized the Mansfield Silk
and Thread company of Connecticut,
for whom Mrs. Jacobs used to sell
goods.
Mrs. Jacobs was arrested, charged
with converting to her own use So
4S7 that she had collected for the
National company. She was discharg-
ed. The National company sued Mrs.
Jacobs and the Mansfield company
for the money, and when the lady
was telling her story yesterday the
judge asked her to speak more slowly.
She replied:
'Why, how ca1 I? I am right in
the midst Of what want to say, and
1 can't stop"
''But you must stop" answered the
judge.
The witness could not be checked,
however, and rushed along like the
wind on the wings Of her story. Then
she stopped a moment.
81 never saw such an incorrigible
witness in my life," said the judge i'm
patiently.
"No wonder, her husband died
lunatic," put in ex-Judge Dittenhoef-
er, for the plaintiff.
The jury quickly found for the de-
Tense, however.

not present, and complains that it was

LIES PHILOSOPHY,

DO not hurry. do not furry!
Nothing good is got by worry,
Bide the hour to make the spring!
Take. life easy: that's the thing.
Do not trouble, do not trouble!
Heavy hearts make toiling double.
Groans the back with loaded pain!
Laugh and twill grow light again.
Do not sorrow, do not sorrow!
Grief to-day is joy tomorrow.
Life flows smoothly after fears:
Eyes shines brightest washed with tears.
Hark the children, bark the voices!
Somewhere, everything rejoiceS.
Blasts without of winter ring,
Yet inward mirth makes endless spring.
Soon from elms will rocks be cawing,
Young lambs leaping, old folk thawing;
Soon with q sunny April dawn
Wild daisies bright bedeck the lawn.
Forward, then, to victory straining!
Forward, as brave men, accomplishing.
The games afoot, and here's the ball:
Wonder the goal: on, comrades all!
India. Ireland? Brood not DER them!
Church and state? Fight, fear not for them!
Statesmen baffied, leaders lost!
Yet, courage, friends! God leads our host!
Good gathers strength, and 10! the powers
OF darkness yield. The day is ours.
Tho cloud and tempest wrap the sky,
Yet wakes behind the eternal eye.

from the west for the Newport polo
players, and had been told by an off
Ger at the navy yard that Mr.. Snyde
wanted two.
Mr.. Snyder crossed his legs II
other way, and said he didn't wa,
any bronco's at all. The man wi,
the sombrero sighed. Then he la
down on the desk twelve brown paper
packages that looked like big pancakes
and, opening ore of them, displayed
a hatened circular layer of cotton bat
ting, with a little disk of cardboard
sewed exactly IN the middle. THAT"
SAID the man with the sombrero, lis
the chip-a-tu-la. They call it bud
dung spring In Mexico, because it
blooms In the spring profusely. I
brought oH y dozen of these plants
along with that cargo of bronco's. It
blooms once month if you put it in
a dish Of water"
I'm not buying flowers" Mr.. Sny-
der said, after a painful pause in the
strangers address.
I'm not peddling," cried the stran-
ger indignantly. II sell you some
broncos if you Want them but I'm
giving these things away"
,"All right" remarked Mr., Snyder,
going back to his pile of letters. "You
can leave one"
The man with the sombrero watch
ed him for ten minutes in silence.
Then ne leaned over the desk and said
IN hoarse whisper:
But it cost ten cents to come over
from the navy-yard. /"
Here's the dime," exclaimed Mr..
Snyder, fishing the bit of silver out OF
his waistcoat.
The man with the sombrere gather
ed up the remaining brown paper
packages. grabbed the silver, and
stalked out.
Miss Snyder cut the card board disk
OH the cotton when her father came
home, and found ten common oats
scattered In the cotton. Mr.. Snyder
laughed.
1.-The bronco dealer will wear out
his lungs before he gets rid of the rest
OF his stock OF his budding spring, ,"
he said. HE talked over half an
hour TO me before he came to the
point, and then only got ten cents TO

ding springs at a dollar bud, but

Buell. and Sherman in the Evening of
the First Day at Shiloh.

Under the title of Shiloh Review
ed'' General D. @, Buell. contributes
to the March Century his account of
probably the most disputed battle Of
our war. From it we quote as follows
''In the dusk of the evening after the
engagement on Sunday, walked out
with my chief of staff, following the
road and the line of the troops. My
object was to information by which
to determine the formation of my div
isions, and I not only observed all
that / could see at such an hour, but
I made inquiry as passed along. l
came to Hurlbut's left five hundred
yards from the river; I passed to the
front and came to troops that ans
wered as McCIellands and which
supposed at the time to constitute his
division, but which were probably
his First Brigade only; passed to
the front of these troops, and when in
turned in toward the road again,
came upon Sherman's line, as it hap
pened, not far from where he was,
and I was conducted to him. It was
then growing dark. I judge the dis
lance to have been about three-quar-
tiers of a mile from the river-less
than half mile from Hurlbut's div
ision, and I think now that it was
near the camp of Colonel SWeeny's
regiment, the Fify-second Illinois,
that found General Sherman.
''The impression made upon my
mind by that interview has remained
as vivid as the circumstances were
peculiar. I had no thought Of seeing
General Sherman when I set out, but
On every score was glad to meet him,
and | was there to gain information.
By what precise words sought and
he gave it, [ would not at this day
pretend to repeat. 1t is sufficient fer
the present to say that I learned the
nature of the ground that his flank
was some three hundred yards from
US; and that the bridge by which Lew
Wallace was to cross Snake Creek
was to his right and rear at an angle,
as he pointed, of about forty degrees.
I do not know whether asked the
question, but know now that it was
mile and a quarter from his flank,
and that he did not cover it in any
practical secse, though III advancing
Wallace would approach by his right
and rear. I also see now that | was
