The Maryland Tea Party.

For over a century and a quarter
it has been considered by the world in
general and by New England in par
ticular that the Boston men who
poured the obnoxious tea into the har-
Dor had an exclusive patent on that
kind of tea party. But the men
who write history, today, are merciless
iconoclasts, and all sorts of ideas about
the men OF the good old times and the
deeds they did are being knocked into
a cooked hat. In the March number of
the New England magazine, John
Ellery futile tells the story of the
Maryland tea party. The story is a
10 most of us, and is full of interest
to all patriotic Americans. 1t does not
detract from the glory of the Massa-
chusetts bay achievement but it gives
honor where honor is due and shows
that Boston was not alone in the de-
struction of tea as an expression of
the spirit of independence.
The Maryland affair differed from
that at Boston in that the Maryland
patriots forced the loyalist owner to
burn the ship with its cargo Of tea in
stead of boarding it themselves and
dumping the tea overheard. The diff
ference may not seem an essential
one but it frees the Maryland men of
the suspicion of taking home any of
the tea with them, as has been limited
was done by some of the prudent Bos-
tonians. Another difference was that
the Maryland band wore no DISCUSSES,
and the deed was done in the presence
of the colonial governor and his coun-
Gil by men of every prominent section
in that section. 1t was in October 17f4,

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, March 12.-The stock market
today, started out with its recent tendency
to reverse its position of the day before.
This vaccillating course is usual towards
the termination of wide price move
ment But the arc measuring the oscilla l.
ton fell to such small proportions today,
that the room traders became discouraged
in their efforts to scalp profit and in
the end abandon the market to semi-stag
nation. Speculative attention reverted to
special causes affecting individual stocks
There was no evidence of further urgent
pressure of liquidation and call loans were
made on the stock exchange at 5h per
cent, and in exceptional cases at per
cent. Wall street was obliged to accept
the intimatiOn received, today, that the
secretary of the treasury had decided that
the present money situation in New York
did not require relief from his department
The fact is beginning to be better under
stood that any release of treasury holdings
now will increase the necessity of draw
ing upon government deposits with the
banks to make the Panama canal pay
ment Today'S report of the exports of
domestic products for February gave a
good impression of the growth of the trade
balance in our favor, showing as it does
an increase compared with February Of
last year of over 5000 600. The culmina-
ton of the speculative rise in cotton and
the heavy selling at the reaction give
promise Of continued REIMBURSEMENT of fer
cign credits by the Outgo of cotton. AS
for the immediate money situation, the
sub-treasury. yesterday, took another half
a million dollars from the market. There
is some anxiety lest the poyment on Mon
day of $40 600, 900 of Standard Oil dividend
may disarrange the money market as it is
probable that the funds collected for this
purpose have been out in loans and will
have to be recalled. The stock market
closed dull and weak. Bonds were about
steady. Total sales, par value 81. 705. 00c
United States bonds were all unchanged
on the last call.

less than a year after the Boston tea
party, that the brig Peggy Stewart
arrived at Annapolis with cargo OF
tea for her owner, Peter Stewart, a
merchant and an ardent loyalist. Tho
colony was ablaze with Indignation at
the course of the mother country, ana
the arrival of this cargo of tea arouse !
one of. the leading political clubs to
action.
It's leader was Charles A. Warffeld, q
physician and a major of militia, AMI
said to be the first man in Maryland
to propose a separation from England.
He and his followers went to the house
of Mr.. Stewart and gave him the alter
native of burning his brig with its
cargo or of being hung. The aristc-
cratic old loyalist fumed and raved, but
the patriotic leader was firm and had
good force at his back. SO Peter
Stewart was rowed down the bay, and,
with the torch which DR.. Warfield
gave him, he set fire to his own yes
sci and cargo. The affair as we may
believe, made great sensation and it
left but one course for the colony of
Maryland to pursue DR.. Warfield
lived until 1913, an honored man and
a leader in the state as he had beea
in the colony. Such in brief outline, is
the story which Mr.. futile tells, an in
teresting chapter of the history of
Revolutionary days which we ought to
be more familiar with.

That March has yet to bring.

The mildest March yet known to men,
Another says, bar none"
Beware of blizzards," warns a third,

effect, showing thorough knowledge
of the fishermans life and thrilling the
reader with sympathetic interest in the
fate of the lost doryman.
1t is stated that the Bangor & Aroos-
took railroad contemplates the addition
of new passenger train to its present
main line service, which train Will have
the effect of shortening the time be-
tween Caribou and Boston by many
hours and make it possible for a per-
son to leave Caribou at night and be
home again in SO hours, and still have
an entire day in Boston. The idea, as
rumor has it, is that the b. & A. VIII
put on train which will leave Bangor
soon after the arrival oe the early
morning train from the West and run
express to Caribou, stopping only at
the more important points, say
Brownville. Millinocket Houlton and
Pressure Isle. This train to return to
Caribou the same night leaving Car
ibou late in the afternoon or early in
the evening, running express to Ban
gor in time to connect with the mid
night train for the West.
There is to be no elaborate Old
Home Day celebration in Portland
this year." said Mayor Boothby the
other day. 1.-THE city has no money to
use for this purpose and l do not in
tend to ask the citizens for money. If
the Old Home week bill passes the
Legislature the celebration will be gen.
oil t1t In pnrt11 n n
we shall probably have meeting on
the evening of Old Home day at the
City hall, which will be addressed by
Maine men. This will entail very little
expense. There will be no parade and
no attempt at an elaborate celebration.
1t is the residents of Maine in other
states who set the time at the last of
August for the general home coming
and as the custom has become estab-
iished they will visit their native State
whether or not We welcome them with
q parade and fireworks. 1t would be
fortunate if the army and navy man
oeuvres occur at this time for this
would be a great attraction, but it will
be impossible to change the date for
this purpose as the time has been al
ready established by custom and can
not now be broken away from. Our
beautiful summer resorts are attrac-
ton enough to absolute strangers to
the State and why not to the natives
who have moved from it's borders. Let
the people inform their friends of the
many natural beauties of the State and
we will have visitors enough during
Old Home Week."
