The Key Monument Association
Asks for an Appropriation
From the State.

On Monday evening last, at a meeting of
the Francis Scott Key Association, COM
mittee was appointed to call upon Gov.
Lloyd Lowndes at Annapolis, and urge an
appropriation of money from the State to be
expended by the Key Monument AssOcia-
tion of this city, in erecting a suitable mon
ument at the grave of the famous poet.
The association by untiring efforts has al
ready collected handsome sum, which is
placed in one of our city banks, and if an
appropriation can be secured from the
State it will greatly encourage the work.
1t is thought that an appropriation of S., 900
will be asked for. The following ladies
and gentlemen waited on the Governor on
Wednesday last: Mrs. A. L. Eader, Mrs.
John Ritchie, Mrs. L. M. Nixdorff, Mrs.
