The charity ball in Baltimore, on Mon
day night, was a brilliant affair, but the at
tendance was not as large as in former years.
The dresses of the ladies' were magnificent
and diamonds and brillants sparkled in every
direction. 1t is safe to say that if one-third
Of the amount that was spent all around
in preparing for the ball had been given to
the poor, they would have Jared better but
in that case those who went to the ball would
not have had the fun along with feeling of
satisfaction at the thought that they had
given something to the poor to help them
tide over the winter.

Inauguration of EnYernnr Iacks q


Gov. Elihu E. Jackson was formally inaug-
urated In the Senate chamber at Annapolis,
on Wednesday.
In his brief inaugural address Gov. jack
son laid down the correct general principle
that the office of Governor was not created
for the honor or benefit of the person elected
to fill it, but is public trust which ought to
be executed under solemn sense of the re-
sponsibilily it imposes.
He renewed the pledges made by the Dem
ocratic party before the election and promis-
ed to do his part in carrying them out. He
especially eDjoined upon the Legislature to
continue in the good work of affording ade-
quate protection to the men, women and
children who are wage-earners, who form
the great majority of our people and ought
10 be always under the fostering care of the
Ptate
He urged strict economy in the appropra-
of public money, and added that the
ature should net withhold needful ex.
ure in the service of the State, or in
the support of its proper institutions, or in
aid of charitable institutions, performing
duties which, except for their existence,
would devolve upon the State, but all expend-
itures ought to be judicious and thoroughly
considered.
The address was plain and sensible and
was evidently the expression of an earnest
minded man, who refrained from making
glittering promises, but who is determined
! to do his whole duty to the people of Mary
land, in tie exalted position to which they
have elevated him.
The oath of office was administered by
Chief Justice Alvey and after Gov. Jackson
bad signed the "test book" of the Court of
(ppeals the simple ceremonies was over.
The entire proceedings only occupied ten
| minutes.
A large number Of State officials with their
families were present.
Gov. Jackson went Immediately to work,
his first official act being the signing of the
appointment of Mr.. E. w. LeCompte as Sec
rotary of State.
Gov. Lloyd after leaving the Senate cham
Der, went to the Court of Appeals and quail
fed as an attorney of that court, being pre-.
sented TO the Judges by Mr.. George Y. May
