GREATER BALTIMORE JUBILEE.

The interest displayed in the Greater
Baltimore Jubilee by Maryland in gener-
al is not TO be wondered at when the
close relationship between these two
great factors of the commonwealth are
considered and is therefore not sur
prising that we are advised from the
Jubilee headcnartars that from every
portion Of the state there are being re-
ceived letters offering encouragement
and cooperation and promising giant
delegations at the big celebration that
is to be held September 9th to 10th IN
commemoration of recovery from the
fire that devastated nearly the entire
business section of the city thirty
months ago.
There is bond of brotherhood be-
tween the metropolis of this state and
the counties and other cities thereof that
is not dissoluble save with disastrous
results TO both. The counties owe
much to Baltimore and Baltimore owes
much to the counties. Ii is hardly pos
sible that either could stand alone. The
projectors Of the present celebration
lay particular stress upon the important
part that has been played by Maryland
outside of Baltimore in the rehabilita-
ton of the city. In the time of its
dire distress and throughout all the
months of trial and hardship. Of threat
ening obstacles and of difficulties un-
surmountable except by the most deter
mined and aggressive spirits it was to
the counties of the state that Baltimore
looked to hold up her hands. How well
they responded is matter Of history
and the Baltimoreans today in contem-
plating the success of their efforts are
not sparing in accrediting their coun-
try cousins with large share of praise
for the part played by them in restoring
the city TO its own.
In dozen ways did the countryside
contribute to the realization of the
dreams Of the townsmen. Every facil-
ity at the command of rural Maryland
was placed at the disposal Of the big
brother in distress. Every word of en-
enlargement that could be spoken was
sung into the ears of the tollers laboring
to do what the merciless element had
undone. And through it all the sus-
tenance of the city robbed of its stores
was furnished by the state at large. II
is not to be marveled at that Baltimore
is grateful for the aid that was extend
ed.
And again it is natural that Baltimore
wants the whole state TO enjoy the big
celebration which has been planned, and
to join with her in rejoicing at what has
been accomplished. and she promises
today TO give the thousands Of visitors
that are to swarm within her gates
from Garrett to Worcester and all the
land between, the grandest treat that
the ingenuity of man can conceive.
The week of festivities viii abound in
displays of splendid magnitude and
brilliant spectacularism. Three magnif-
icent street pageants in each Of which
