Yesterday was noted in Mary land :
capital for the opening Of the session OF
legislature, biennial event in this city
which centres, All eyes for brief period
upon the doings OF the great solons here.
Tile House Of Representatives is Re-
publican by an oyers siielming majority
aud the Senate, Democratic by a ma
iorlty OF two. The House has seventy
Republican members TO twenty one
Democrats, and III the Senate there are
fourteen Democrats 10 twelve Repu0li-
cans. thus one branch is able to counter
act any unwise legislation on the part
Of the other. IL is the hope Of the peo-
ple that the actions Of the present session
Of the legislature will be for the pro-
motion of public interest and welfare.
1t will. or ought TO be, a session OF
marked importance. After the con-
test OF the speakership of the United
States Seuatorship has been settled
the question in which the people are
yitally interested will come up for con-
slderation, first among them being re-
assessment, new school book law, a
new election law, and the like. The in
PRODUCTION of a reassessment bill will
undoubtedly piepipitate discussion
such as has never b en- witnessed before
in this State, but il party pledges are
worth anything at all reassessment
bin must necessarily in the course Of
events be passed.

The Guinea That Was Worn on . DuchsaS
| - Bracelet. r3
| A long while ago, when Bristol was
growing rich with the profits of the West
India trade Of which it had almost a mo-
nopoly, a stranger took lodging there TO-
ward tho close of the year and used to visit
the coffee room of that famous old inn,
the Bush. He would arrive about noon
every day and calling for sixpenny glass
| Of brandy and water sit over 1t until he
had carefully gone through the London
paper of the preceding evening. s4
The landlord of the Bush, seeing how
anxious be was to read the London paper,
made it understood that while he had 1t
"in hand" no one elsJ was to expect 1t,
Rather seedy garments, a lean body, q
confirmed stoop and limited expenditure
of q daily sixpence, with nothing for the
waiter, clearly showed the newspaper read
er to be poor gentleman" and by that
title he was soon distinguished. On Christ
mas eve honest John Weeks, the landlord,
anxious that the decayed gentleman should
have one good meal at least In the Bush,
delicately intimated to him that on the
following day he kept open table, to which
| he would be welcome free Of cost. LIZ.
Punctually at O'Clock next day the
stranger appeared at the Bush in his usual
seedy attire. He partook Of the good din
ner with the apparent relish Of man to
| whom such feast was novelty and did
| due Justice to the "stunning ale'' for
which, far and near, the Bush was famous
The dinner was concluded. The decayed
gentleman remained the last and read the
London paper in the kitchen. When he
prepared to leave, the landlord respectful!
" helped him to put on his overcoat and
at the same time slipped a guinea into his
hand. The poor gentleman pocketed the
coin with a smile and a sigh. 49, ~:
He came no more to the Bush. But
shortly after the Bush itself was adver-
tised for sale, with all its valuable good
will and appurtenances, and poor Weeks
was trembling at the thought of being
turned out by the new owner, when he re-
ceived missive from Coutts & Co., the
London bankers, to the effect that If he
wished to acquire the house he occupied
he might draw upon them for the pur-
chase money. Fastening to London to
thank his benefactors and convince him
self Of the genuineness of the offer, he was
introduced to Mr.. Thomas Coutts, the
head of the great banking firm. who proved
to be no other than the "poor gentleman"
The Bush guinea, it is said, was afterward
worn, mounted in bracelet, by the Ouch
ess of St. Albans tho widow of Mr. Coutts

SONS OF KENTUCKY.
MANY POINTS OF RESEMBLANCE IN
PALMER AND BUckNER. +,

Both Are Old Men and Old Soldiers, and
Both Arc Ex-Governors-They Fought
ON Opposite sides-Palmer's Long Polit-
ical Career.
There are many points Of resemblance
about the careers Of John McAuley
Palmer and Simon Bolivar Buckner,
the presidential candidates of the new
National Democratic party. Both are
sons Of old Kentucky. Each bears the
title Of general, although Palmer fought
on the Union side and Buckner with
the Confederates. They are both lawyers.
Each has been governor Of q state, and
each is we'll on in the seventies, at an
age when most men are out Of political
life.
MI. Palmer was born at Eagle Greek,
Scott county, KY. on Sept. Is, 1917,
and when IA years old his parents re-
moved to Madison county, Ill. When
he was 10, he entered Alton college,
now known as Shurtlef college, but
was obliged to leave at the end of the
first year because Of lack Of funds. Then
he taught school and read law for a
number Of years. He was admitted to
the bar in 1889 and rose in his profess
sion 50 rapidly that in 1843 he became
Judge Painter. From that time until
the beginning Of the civil war he was
active in politics., but at the first call
for volunteers he enlisted and was
elected colonel Of the Fourteenth regi-
ment, Illinois infantry.
His war record is long and honora-
