only as individuals they could make their
way through the lines and make good their
passage to the Confederacy. Many in
this way attached themselves to the first
Confederate command they met. Others
sought out old friends or, perhaps, family
connections, and enlisted in the same com
mand with their relatives or friends.
A prominent officer, after inspection of
the records of the Adjutant- General of
the army in Richmond, estimated that
there were 10000 Marylanders in the serv-
ice of the Confederate States. The or
CARNATIONS officially recognized as from
Maryland were: The 1st Md Inf; I'd
Nd. Inf; list Nd. Cav; I'd Md. Cav; list
Md. Artillery ANDREWS and Dement,; I'd
Nd. Artillery baltimore Light; Sd Nd.
Artillery UatrObeJ; 4th Nd. Artillery
| Chesapeake. These composed the Mary
land Line, and were recognized as such
by the Confederate authorities. Their ag
gregatc strength was some 1000 men.
With the exception of the Sd Md. Artil-
leTy, which served with the army in the
West, the history Of the 1st Md. Inf, in
the language of Gen. EwelI, ''is the his
tory of the Valley Campaign; the history
of the Army of Northern Virginia cannot
be written without giving the history of
the commands Of the Maryland Line"
From the early days of the war-frOm
Manassas to Malvern Hill; from the Val
ley to Gettysburg; from the defense of
Petersburg TO AppomattOx, they We're ON
nipresent.
The Maryland Line Soldiers Home was
established in February, 1885, on the site
and in the buildings known as the Old
Pikesville Arsenal, most historical insti-
tuition. This property was given by the
| State to the Association of the Maryland
Line, an organization formed for the pur-
| pose Of assisting the old soldiers Of the
| COnfederacy. At the establishment of the
home, the Maryland Legislature also voted
an appropriation of $1,000 per annum for
the repair Of the property and the main
| tenance Of the institution.
| The old arsenal property was singularly
adapted to the purpose by reason of the
character Of the buildings and convent
ence Of location. The ravages Of time and
abandonment had, however, sadly married
its fair proportions, and large expenditures
were necessary for its repair. In
/ this connection the history of the old ar
senal or post is interesting. Lieut.. Baden,

THE Black Flag ~

The above is the title of the play
which was presented at the opera
house last week, and which all who
attended frankly admitted to be the
very best performance ever given by
local talent in Oakland. The cast
was selected by professionals and well
drilled by them. The tableaux were
beautiful and impressing and the
scenic effects very fine, especially the
prison scene, the convicts at work and
the escape was thrilling. They will
repeat the production tomorrow
night, July 4th, and if you are fond
of excitement, tears and laughter, be
sure to see it.

In the face of foreign criticism, and
in the face of ones own dismay at
existing conditions with regard to di-

retort administered to an alien critic
of our people, who had declared, in
private conversation that America
seemed to be afflicted with the disease
of prudishness. The answer was some
what in these words (the incident &C.
Cured several years ago.: Eyes,
probably it is true that Americans are
prudish, but considering the revela-
tions that have recently taken place
concerning certain circles in London,
and considering the condition of a
good part of the Partisan stage and Of

Americans are the decentest people, in

circular letter giving some interesting
information concerning the reduction
of the state debt during his admins
tration. Since January /, 1899, the
debt has been reduced under the sink"
ing fund act, recommended by the
governor, at the rate of $1,000
week, and the amount of Indebtedness
paid up to this time includes $780,
465.34 of floating debt and the re-
demption of $9O5,OOO of state bonds,
making a total of $1,815, 565.34. This
is a gratifying result, which gives
proof of the wisdom of the sinking
fund act and evinces the judicious and
efficient management of the Funding
Board, composed of Governor Nc
