The death of General Banks re-
vived in my memory an incident
wherein he played an important part,
and for which looked in vain among
tie numerous paragraphs concerning
him published Immediately following
his decease.
General Banks performed an act
which stands singly and alone in all
the annals of the war. He prevented
Maryland from seeding! TO be sure,
he was ordered to do so, but he had
in charge the carrying out Of the
order.
Maryland was in fever heat of ex-
element, and impatiently awaiting
the opportunity to take the necessary
action. The legislature of that state
was due to convene on the nth day
of September, 1861. 1t was known that
the members would, without delay,
pass the act which would cut them
asunder, theoretically at least, from
the union.
On the 18th Simon Cameron di-
rected General Banks to prevent the
assembling Of the Maryland legisla-
ture. This was war order, nothing
short of it. General Banks and his
lieutenants were on hand and as fast
as member made his appearance
and could be got at he was summari-
ly arrested on a5charge of plotting
against the government and fastened
away to some fort further north, or
where Uncle sam could hold him at
all hazards.
Two days after the issue of the
order a dozen or more were thus
seized and hurried away, the days
catch including two editors of seces-
sion papers, a congressman, and the
candidate for governor. The people
of Maryland, particularly Of Fred
erick and Baltimore, were almost be-
side themselves at these acts, and no
wonder
The seventeenth, the day for the con-
vening Of the legislature, arrived and
went, and mo quorum. Such mem
bers assembled as had escaped the
drag-net Of General Banks and looked
anxiously all day for accessions
SAOuEh " lOLtlA q NubEuiI4s BuL III IN.
On the day following nearly all Of
those who had waited were arrested
and conveyed away. This substan-
TALLY fixed the case so effectually
that it was useless to depend upon
any legislative act. The arrests Of
the 18th included the speaker and the
clerk of the house, and in all, say
about twenty.
General Banks has never to nv
knowledge been given credit for this
bold act. In this connection, / may
be permitted to say that the non
secession of Maryland resulted in the
state contributing troops to both
sides. A remarkable practice, result
ing from the above fact, was that in
speaking during the war of either Of
the organizations from MARYLAND
upon the Union side, the speaker adj
ded the word loyal to the designat-
ing name with deal Of emphasis. =

LORD RosEBERY says that all Eng
land wants is peace, and doubtless
this is true. England has already as
much territory as it can take care Of.
and there is no part of the world in
which it could secure a considerable
addition without coming in contact
with some civilized power. 1t is
hoped that universal peace will be
maintained, and the understanding
which it seems has been reached be-
tween England and Russia is a step in
the direction Of permanent peace.

The difference between the modern
novel and the advertisements seems
to consist in the fact that the former
is read by women, gossiped about, and
then dismissed from their minds;
while the latter is read, discussed, con
sidered; after that the women march
down and view the advertised goods
and buy if they are able.

odd Ironsides." DR. Holmes most
stirring lyric and the one which
brought him recognition as a poet,
was first printed in the Boston Adver-
tiser. In $780, as all know. the frigate
Constitution, the conquering hero Of
many sea fight, lay at Charlestown
navy yard, condemned by an unseen
timental department to be destroyed
as no longer seaworthy.
DR. Holmes was then youth Of 81
He had been graduated from Harvard
the year before and had spent some
time in the study of law At that
moment, however. his legal studies
had been abandoned, and lie was liv.
ing quietly at home uncertain Of his
future occupation. 1t was in the in
teryal between his desertion Of the
law and his resolve to study medicine
that "Old Ironsides' was written.
The young mans mind was filled
with enthusiasm for the achievements
Of our navy, and that its most famous
vessel should be chopped up like any
unhallowed wood naturally provoked
and CALLED him. The feelings which
the action Of the department aroused
in him found spontaneous expression
in the poem. We say spontaneous
advisedly. There was nothing de-
liberate about its composition, it was
wholly impromptu.
To the best Of his recollection. he
says, he wrote it on scrap Of paper
with lead pencil while standing one
day before the fireplace in the old
house at Cambridge. And then, with
out dreaming Of the great popularity
it would win. or Of how effectual It's
protest would be, he sent il off to the
Advertiser, where it appeared in the
issue Thursday, September Is.
AS it gave eloquent voice to the
sentiment of the whole country, its
success was both sudden and uni
versal The poem was copied with
applause from paper TO paper, while
in Washington it was struck off on
handbills and distributed through
the city. The grand result was pre-
servation with honor for the Consti
tuition.

THELoTHRoP COMPANY.
Assignment of the Widely Known Boston
Publishing House.


Boston, January 5.-The D. Lothrop
company, the book publishers, have as
signed to Louis D. Brandeis, who esti-
mates the firms liabilities as $25G, 600.
The assets consist Of outstanding bills,
the plates and copyrights of 5000 books,
and machinery valued at $4,000.
In May, 1928, the assets as returned to
the state house, footed up S46O, 1O1. Their
real value is very uncertain at present.
The D. Lothrop company was incorpo-
rated in February, 1887, with a capital
stock of $500, 900. D.Lothrop of Dover,
John Lothrop of Great Falls and Daniel
Lothrop were the principal stockholders.
This corporation succeeded the old D.
Lothrop and company (which did .busi-
ness for years on the corner of Franklin
and Haley streets. The house has been
identified for the past twenty years or
more with the Juvenile and Sunday

Aged Couple cremated in Their House,

New Haven, Conn.,, January 5.-One of
the most horrible casualties that has oc-
Cured in this vicinity, happened early
this morning. Thomas and Kate Kinney
an aged couple living in Orange, near
West Haven, WIRE burned to death, and
this morning tbir charred remains were
discovered in the cellar They were
about 70 years age, and have lived in
seclusion for many years in a small story
and a half hoise, on what is known as
the Dogman road. Shortly after o'clock
a man named Katrien, who lives nearly
opposite, was awakened by the roaring
OF the fire. Hastily going to the window
he discovered the Kinney house to be en-
veloped in flames. This was the first
that was known Of the fire. Dressing
himself as quickly as possible, Kartrien
rushed to the assistance of the old peo.
pie, but it was too late. The house was
more than Is years old, and the timbers
burned like tinder. The flames were SO
fierce and hot that it was impossible to
get within Is feet of the building.
Kinney's s house was located about two
miles from West Haven Centre, and
nothing could be done. Kartrien ran to
Selectman Kings house and notified him
of what had happened. They both
drove back. This was about o'clock
When they reached the scene all that re-
mained of the houss were few smolder-

The Report that Willis Had asked the Pro-

Auckland, NJ, January 5.-Advices
from Honolulu to December 90, have
been received here by the steamer
Alameda. which has just arrived from
San Francisco. The officers of the vessel
stated to an Associated Press correspond
ent that the excitement in Honolulu over
the political situation was growing in in
tensity. The provisional government
was as firm as ever in it's determination
to maintain it's position, and was con-
tinuing it's preparations to resist any
effort that might be made to restore the
monarchy.
island had been notified that they would
be expected to take arms in defence of
the government, and number of them
had been dismissed from the service for
refusing to obey this order.
The officers further stated to the inter
viewer that the Minister of the United
States government had decided in favor
of the restoration of the Queen The
Minister in his communication informed
the government that Liliuoklani had
agreed to grant amnesty to all those who
had taken part in the revolution, to
ratify the obligations of the present gov
ernment, and to govern faithfully in
accordance with the present constitution.
The government was preparing long re-
ply to the Minister.
/ The Commercial Advertiser of Homo
lulu in an article supporting the govern
ment declares that the United States
Congress had taken the matter out of
President Cleveland's hands by calling
for the papers in the Hawaiian cores
pondence, and asserted that the porvision-
al government will not retire from power
unless it is compelled to by force, and
says that this is not likely to be en-
ploy ed.
Nothing to Prevent Such Acti on.
Washington. January 5.-The Homo
lulu news to December %, transmitted
by way of Auckland, New Zealand, and
conveyed at that point by the officers of
the steamer Alameda, was discussed at
the State Department with much more
interest than apparent credence this
morning.
In truth, as nearly as diplomatic reti-
| cence would permit, the information
given out by the Alameda's officers as to
| Mr.. Willis having atssthat late date made
| a formal demand for the surrender of the
provisional government was almost
doubted, in view of the assurance coz
| tained in the last paragraph of the presi-
dents special message sent to Congress,
| dated December is, in which he dis.
tinctly turned over the matter of the
further course to be pursued to the dis
| cretion of Congress. Still, up to Decem.
ber %, when the Alameda left Honolulu,
| Mr. Willis was acting under instruction
| from Secretary Gresham which left Sar
| Francisco by the revenue cutter Corwir
on Decem Der 4, and which were trans.
mitted to Congress with the Presidents
| message.
1t is pointed out that there was nothina
in these instructions which have already
