Good Friday Tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Good Friday. 1t is
SO named from the good and blessed
work performed by Jesus in submit
ting To shameful, ignominious and
painful death on the cross for the
salvation OF mankind. Next TO the
first day Of the week and Easer, this
was the earliest days set apart i'm com
memoration of the chief event in the
life of Christ, but when celebrated we
have no record. BY the Roman Catho-
lies and by the Greeks as we'll as by
the English Church, il is regarded as
strict fast. II is also Il holiday for
the government offices in England,
but i'm Scotland IL is not observed
by Presbyterians. Hot cross buns
are probably relic of paganism. In
London they are eaten for the fast on
this day, and the superstition that
a cross bun preserved from one Good
Friday to another will prevent an
attack of whooping cough has still
some believers.
Tomorrow being Good Friday is a
legal holiday. All the state and mu-
nicipal Offices will be closed. The
Farmers National Bank will be closed,
all the schools will be closed and
there will be general suspension of
business.

TRAMP COLONY INCREASED.
Two Merry Tramps" Make Their Bow On
The Local Stage.

The local tramp colony was increased
yesterday by the addition of Tive
Merry Tramps," who gave a perfor-
nance at the Colonial Theatre last
night. They were advertised for a
matinee performance, but as the game
on baseball at the Naval Academy
between Columbia and the Navy took
the crowds, the matinee was called OIL.
The audience at the local playhouse
last night was small, perhaps be-
cause this is Holy Week, and the
Christian world throughout the length
and breadth of ehristendom recognizes
Holy Week. In most large cities
theatres are dark this week. In Bal
timore both the Academy of Music
aud Ford's closed this week.
The audience, though small last
night, was appreciative. The play
was presented by Wood q Ward. Dur
in the performance a number of spec
ialties were introduced in the three
acts. Special credit should be given
to MIR. A. w. Bergelin, who imper-
sonated ''NLaude" the mule, and whose
stunts amused the audience.

IMPROVING STATE GROUNDS.
Work Progressing Rapidly Statues Of Wash
ington And Jefferson Suggested.

The work OF grading the State House
grounds and constructing walks in ac-
cordance with the plans adopted by
the Board Of Public Works is now
going on rapidly. The arrangement
of walks from Maryland avenue lead
ing To the front and back of the State
House has formed a space in which sit
is the intention of the authorities To
set up a statue, and discussion has
arisen as 10 the proper character Of
statue To place there.
The staues already erected upon the
State House grounds are those of
Chief Justice Roger Taney, which is
at the front. and that of Baron DeKalb.
on the West side. The new statue
will be on the east side and just oppo-
site the end of Mary land avenue,
which connects the State House
grounds with the main gate of the
Naval Academy.
Mr.. John Writ Randall, of this city,
has made the suggestion that the
statue of Washington in the act of
sheahing his sword, symhOlizing the
resignation of his military commits
sion, an incident which took place in
the old Senate Chamber of the State
House, be placed in the space. This
is one of the greatest of the histori-
cal events which has taken place at
Annapolis, and Mr.. Randall's sug-
gestion has received much approval.
Col. Oswald Tilghman, Secretary
of State. is Of the opinion that the
statue of Thomas jefferson should be
placed in the space. Johnson was
Governor of Maryland during the
Revolutionary War and organized
two regiments of infantry, which he
led TO Valley Forge and personally
turned over 10 General Washington,
besides performing other acts of no.
table public service. 1t has also been
suggested that statue of Francis
Scott Key be placed i'm the space, but
il is thought that the campus of ST.
John S College, where he was educated,
would be a more suitable location.
1t is certain that bill will be in
troduced at the next session of the
Legislature for the purpose of appro-
priating a sum sufficient for the erec-
tion of whatever statue may be select
