Annapolis, Md, Mch. 10, '01.
Due to the inefflciency OF some one paid to
afford better service, find that my letter
of last week arrived one mali too late to
appear in that issue, thus deferring it to this
week. regret this principally for the rea-
son that what may now send you, added to
that, may prove to be more of the one kind
than may desirable. i, fortunately for
that view, have little to write.
We have now been in session fourteen
days, of which ten have been working days,
the adjournment over Saturday and Sunday
twice, accounting for the other four days.
When we left here on Friday last il was gen
orally understood that this week would wit.
ness the close of the extraordinary session,
yet there were those even then who doubted;
today 1t is quite conceded that the session
will extend into next week.
All matters of local character have been
set aside for action at the regular SESSION of
1909, thus to that extent at least giving ear
nest of a desire to keep the session within
the narrowest limits.
The one matter upon which a safe calCua.
ton may not be made at present. s the time
that will be required to put the Baltimore
Sewerage bill In shape satisfactory to all in.
ierests necessary to be put in accord, If the
bill is to become a law. The first difficulty met
is the composition of the commission into
whose hands this great work must be placed;
on this point, t. date, the city delegation has
failed to agree. Then those representing the
oyster interests of the Chesapeake Bay will
require, not only that the sewerage shall not
be emptied into the Bay in its crude state,
unqualified a manner In the bill itself, that
no harm shall come to the oyster interests
through doubt as to the sincerity of the
intention to first render the sewerage harm
less by the most approved modern methods
of aseptic treatment. Beyond these two
matters there is nothing apparent in the way
of the passage of the bill.
Last winter. during sojourn here Of some
weeks, it occurred to me to note some of the
marked traits and personal characteristics OF
the members: at that time this was an easy
task, but the experience of that session seems
to have exhausted, largely, the propensities
of the members to come prominently tor
ward, and it ID in marked contrast that we
now find these same people mild, modest and
not at all disposed to pose; it would seem aG
though eleven months of retrospection has
resulted in a well grounded conceit that a
great and lasting name is not best attained
by holdin G and expressing opinions on every
measure that comes before the body, but that
those who claim attention less frequently blu,
always to some purpose, come to be recog
nized as the efficient men of the Senate and
House. To this wise decision many mem
bers have arrived, alas, too late; this fact ia
patent TO any one attending this session.
To be member, or an observant employe
Of the Maryland Legislature, is not without
reward beyond the matters of per diem and
perquisites. @. E. G.

Elevator Burned.

The Frederick City Elevator on the east
side of Carroll street extended, opposite Can
non Hill, owned by the Frederick Elevator
Company, was entirely destroyed by fire at
an early hour Tuesday morning. The flames
were discovered at 215 o'clock and within
the next ten minutes the entire structure was
mass ef seething, Kissing flames. Notwith-
standing the early hour, the firemen re-
sponded with promptness, but nothing could
be dore to stay tho progress of the flames A
small building Immediately adjoining the
elevator, known as the bending works owned
by MIR. Marshall Fout, caught fire q dozen
times but the persistent work Of the firemen
finally prevented the destruction Of the fac.
tory.
The first alarm was sounded few min
ates before half past two o'c lock quickly
followed by two other alarms. Just before
the second alarm the flames broke through
the roof and In little while were leaping
wildly to the heighth Of fifty feet or more.
The elevator was built in 1893 by stock
company composed of business men of this
city and some prominent and well-known
farmers
The building was erected at cost OF about
$4,000 upon which there is an insurance OF
$4,000. The contents were insured for $l9,.
600.
1t is thought that the flames originated in
the engine room. When the fire was dis.
covered the portion of the building in which
the engine room is located contained most of
the fire.
There were stored in the building about
$4,000 bushels of wheat, 200 bushels of corn
and 200 bushels of oats.

Ex.Pres. Harrison's Graceless Offspring

A pathetic incident of Gen. Harrisons i'll
ness and death was the estrangement, between
himself and his children-Mrs James n.
Mckee, his daughter the mother of the
famous Baby" Mckee of the White House
days, and Col. Russell B. Harrison, his son.
They never approved ofhs marriage to their
first cousin, Mrs. Dimmick, who was the
first Mrs. Harrison's niece, and for several
years they had not spoken TO their father.
1t is probable. however, that while the
mother of Baby McKee," and Col Russell
B. Harrison have, in their way, consigned
the name of Benjamin Harrison to oblivion,
they will experience some difficulty, living,
in maintaining place of frequent and hon
orable mention that will be accorded by the
great world to their respected father, dead :.
1t is an interesting study, this curious cir
cumstance that many of our great Americans
beget very commonplace sons and daughters.
