The Salisbury Adt'0lisry speaks COM
mandatory OF the present session of the
legislature as follows: The Maryland
Legislature of the year 1900 will go down
in history rs one remarkable in some re-
spects To the visitor to Annapolis these
days who have attended previous sessions
two thoughts present themselves--the
very high average OF intelligence and
respectability OF the members of both
houses and the absence Of the old army
OF hangerson. Dignity, decency and
economy prevail in an unusual degree.
Both the Senate and the House are
fortunate in the personnel OF their presid-
ing officers. President Hubner. OF the
Senate. is firm but considerate, and
avoids unnecessary delay in guiding the
affairs of the Senate.
Only Maryland's aifable Governor
knows better than Speaker Wilkinson
how to handle man or problem with
tact and delicacy. His success as the
Speaker OF the House Of Delegates is
attracting attention from all parts OF the
State.
Another thing that is almost certain to
be observed by the experienced spectator
at Annapolis is the prevailing spirit OF
economy among the Assemblymen.
There is a very general disposition to
look with disiavor upon extravagant and
unwise legislation and to carefully guard
the treasury OF the State.

And it's ho. and away 10 Clayton!
Where the marrying Justice reigns-
Where the trees spreading low,
Shade the path you go,
And their leaves sing a lovers rofrains!
And it's ho! and away TO Clayton!
a dash for nsn Cupid'S throne!
It's a race for bride.
With the girl by your side,
And her hand ciasping tightly your own.
And it's no, and away to Clayton!
Your heart filed with getting well married:
And the canton that rang
In your ears may go hang!
What lover ere won If he tarried?
Three hundred and fifty couples have gone
to Clayton tc get married this year. and
the year is only seven months old. Half
of this number have been clippers: for one
reason and another. they did not want the
people at home to know that they were to
be married. Sometimes they were running
away from the old folks: quite often they
were running away from the young folks.
For II is not rare thing at all for a pair
OF blushng lovers, with children old enough
to be at the heads OF families of their own
to take a quiet run ont to Clayton, get
married and then go back home. tell their
hsrd-hearted sons and daughters OF the
event, kneel at their feet and beg forgive-
ness
There were fears for awhile that the
Clayton matrimonial statistics for 1900
would show a decrease, as COM
pared With 1899. In May there was
@ decided slump. and the mathe-
maticians Of the Courthouse n:rrel tnat
there would he fewer marriages mis- year
than there had been for five years back.
But this slump proved TO be wholly due to
the st. Louis street-car strike, which was

Every marriage has It's especial and pc

The Judge wrote FOR a moment in his big
docket book. and then. without taking his
eyes or his pen from the page. continued:
Various causes enter into that matri-
morial event which We call an elopement.
Parental objection is not exclusively the
cause. OF course, the hard-hearted way in
which papa and mamma look upon the
youthful Idea Of loves dream is frequently
the reason for the Youngsters Slipping off
and getting married. But there are other
causes for elopements. Sometimes il is the

but experience teaches n man a lot of
things and my opinion is that the old Wild

come out here to get married and act ner-
