DEMOCRATIC SIMPLICITY.

\ special to the Tribune from Balti-
! more says: Govern reject Frank
Brown will be inauguraCed at Annapolis
next Wednesday. 1t has been his inten-
ton to celebrate his introduction into
office with great pOmp and ceremony,
and elaborate arrangements were in
progress when too Otficious jeweler
knocked the programme into smith
Greens. 1t appears that Mrs. Brown, the
GOvernOr-elect's wife, who is wealthy
and a leader in society, had sent all her
diamnnds-and she has magnificent
col. ction-tO jeweler to have them re-
set and rearranged. She intended to
wear them at the reception following
the Inauguration. The jeweler con-
ceived the idea of setting them IN band
and forming crown. Mrs. Brown at
first objected, but was finally persuaded.
When the work was completed, and
before it was submitted to her, the jew
eler sent for the newspaper reporters,
showed them the tiara, which certainly
was beautiful. and stated that it was to
be worn by Mrs Brown when her hus-
band was inaugurated. The next day
full and lavish description of Mrs.
Browns crown appeared in the news
papers. TO say the Governor was para
lyzed would not do justice to his con-
ditiUn. He had posed as a plain farmer,
and here was made to appear as a King,
SO to speak.
After giving the jewelcr n piece OF his
mind he proct eded to remake the inaug-
uratiOn programme he had mapped out,
and now announces that there will be no
other ceremony than that which the law
defines. TIL, re will b. no rec on either
until ten days after ne takes the oath.
Meanwhile, organizations that have laid
in supply of hats, canes, 1tc., for the
parade are hopl ing mad: From
country sections of the State come let
tiers asking for particulars about the
crown and the Queen who will wear it.
1t is probable that the crown will be
taken apart.
Usually such things as are adver-
tised possess no value. But who would
say that DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup pos

Not long ago an Australian dispatch
read as follows; "Bishop of Adelaide
found dead. Sea Serpent on beach,"
Instead of which the Bishop found
dead sea serpent on the beach, and from
a description of it he has sent to a friend
it appears that the humorous reptile was
sixty feet in length, with n tail like u
whales. Thus vOuched for by Bishop,
the future treatment of the sea serpent
will be less fippant than it otherwise
mitre been.
So many have been cured of rheuma-
tism by Hoods Sarsaparlla that we
urge all who suffer from the disease to
try this medicine.
