SOME BILLS INTRODUCED AND
OTHER MATTERS

rhe Senate held short session this
morning of about three quarters of an
hour, closing its doors 20 visitors for
perhaps ten minutes while consider
ing executive appointments, sat
around and twiddled its Senatorial
thumbs tor fifteen minutes more and
then thoroughly tired out by its
arduous labors adjourned uatil II to-
morrow so that it may finish of its
busy weeks work in time 70 catch
the noon train for Baltimore.
Several bills were introduced Mr.
Perkins had one which will prohibit
Macadam or cobble stones on parts of
York Road in Baltimore; Mr.. Jones
had another which will relieve the
abutting property owners on Light
street between Pratt aud Lee of the
expense of widening that Thorough.
tare; Mr.. Brown put in his general
forestry bill, and Mr. Biddison intro.
duced a measure making the anniver-
sary of the Battle of North Point a
legal holiday.
Senator Gadd introduced a local
bill to change the spelling of the Cis
sill family's name from "Cissil'' to
Cecil. The measure states that
Byron Vernon Cissil, of Anne Arun-
del. William Washington Lee Cissil
and Mary Virginia Hortense Cissil, of
Howard county, are direct descen-
dants of the House of Cecil, Hatfield
Hall, England, and who came to
America in 1890 and settled in Mary
land and whereas the descendants. with
one, exception, Samuel Cecil II
(lS03.6) all spelled the name Cecil. 3"
while he sometimes spelled il :'Cecip'
and sometimes "Cissil, " thereby cans.
ing confusion and two ways of spell
ing the name, the act would return the
spelling to the old and proper way.
The very scrappy Senator from
Wicomico, Mr.. Brewington, found the
mornings 5 proceedings altogether too
dull for his taste and tried twice un-
successfully to precipitate a row Mr..
Bididson wanted local bill TO Balti-
more county, but one which carried
with it an appropriation, printed.
Mr.. Brewington rose to protest against
establishing the precedent of printing
local bills. 1--WE are going in for a
record. he said, for economy, plea
yune economy at some points it seems
to me, and this will be establishing a
bad plan, il enough local bills are
printed it may run the cost of printing
up on the State some three or four
thousand dollars. Personally II favor
printing every bill introduced in this
Senate. hut protest against printing n
local bill here and debarring a local
bill there.
That quieted down, no one seeming
to care much whether the bill is print
ed or not, and its nature bringing il
into the class of bills to be printed d
without order, anyway, so Mr.. Brew
ington took the floor again. He was a
seker for light this time on the sub
ject of bill yesterday introduced by
Mr. Young relating to the appropria-
tion for the Maryland institute. Mr..
Brewington called attention to the
fact that this bill had been referred
to the city Senators, and he wanted to
know from the gentlemen who intro.
duced it IF it was not fact that it
increased the appropriation for that
institution from SO, coo to $40, 600. :"
His mind as set at rest on that point,
but he was still persistent in thinking
the Finance Committee should have q
peep at it. Mr.. Young had no objeo-
tion so the second squabble amounted
to dust and blew away.
Mr.. Brewington is the handsome red
checked Senator whose personal ap-
pearance several years ago was the
subject of remark among the ladies in
the gallery What shame, - SEEM
ed to be the general verdict. that such
complexion as that should be wasted
on man. In the executive session
minor appointments, one for Kent and
one for Wicomico, were confirmed
without reference.
The House of Delegates held an un.
interesting session, in which a large
number of bills were introduced and
mucn routine business transacted.
Delegate Duvall introduced two bills
amending laws local TO Anne Arundel
county. One requires the Governor
to designate justice of the peace
who shall act as police justice and re.
side in Germantown and have an Office
in that suburb. and shall have juris.
dietion of all criminal cases arising
there.
Mr. Duvall's second bill requires
the County Commissioners to appoint
a policeman for Germantown, who
shall be on duty there at all times
ana shall hold office-for two years
