SPECIAL SESSION OF LEGISLATURE.

Conference of Democrats to be Held to
Consider Subject-GOrman Will Decide.
A conference between ex-senator
German, Governor Smith, the chair
man of the Democratic State Com
mittee, and other leading Democrats
will be held before January to de-
eide. upon numerous petitions from
Democrats of Baltimore, as well as
other parts of the state, urging the
governor to call an extra session of
the legislature. The ENHANCEMENT in
the municipal government, including
the deadlock between Mayor Hayes
and the city councils as to the legal
construction of the city charter, has
caused the Democrats connected with
the regular organization who are op.
posed to Hayes to urge an extra ses-
sion. The Democratic managers are
also desirous of amending the cleo
tion law so as to bar many negroes
from voting at the next state election.
When appeals to the governor from
Democrats in the counties were first
presented. shortly after the Novem-
Der election, they met with a cold re-
sponse. The governor was not favor
ably impressed with the idea. Be
sides, he was not so sure the legisla-
ture, once in session would pass the
hill for 6isfra ne iSemant Then SOW
eral eastern counties did not view the
scheme favorably. In Worcester
county, according to the last census
of voters, there were 1,003 white and
1882 colored illiterates, difference
of only twenty-nine between the two
races. In Wicomico there was objec-
ton, there being 1,036 white to 791
colored illiterates. In Caroline the
colored illiterates exceeded the white
illiterates by only fifty-eight.
The extra session would cost the
state about $50, ,000-that is, assuming
that it remained in session for twelve
days, which are considered necessary
to amend the election law. 1t is stat
ed in inner Democratic circles. how
ever, that, while Governor Smith
will not yet say he will call special
session, he is more favorably inclined
to such a procedure than heretofore.
If German says so, there will be an
extra session.

The practice of using visiting cards

thousands of years. The Chinese New

forth not only the name, but all the I'll

man who is anybody at all has dozen

or of silk, is not retained. but is re

day after New Years the spectacle of
crowds of servants. their arms full of
rolls of paper or cloth, hurrying to and
FRO in the streets, is too common to
excite remark. They are not on their
way to a school of geography. They
are only returning New Years cards.
Whole volumes have been filed with
the novelties of New Years customs

of the world characterize the day. In

out all Europe the wassail cup. in one
form or another is feature of the

size served the entire company. and
