HISTORIC PAINTING
To Commemorate The Burning
OF The Brig Peggy Stewart
Laden With Tea
MISS WALTON THE ARTIST
The D. A. z. To Present Copy OF Mem.
orable Painting To National Chapter
To Hang In Continental Hall

There will be no demonstration
here on Wednesday, Peggy Stewart
Day, in commemoration of the ami
versary of the burning of the brig
here on October 10, 1874.
The local Chapter, D. A. r. that
takes ITS name from this important
historical event, will not observe
the day for two reasons; one is the
members are invited to participate
in the Baltimore celebration of which
the State Regent, Mrs. Thorn, is
hostess, and the other is there had
been planned for this occasion the
presentation of a copy of the histori-
cal painting of the burning of the
brig, to the National Chapter for
Continental Hall
The presentation of the painting
which was to have been made on
Peggy Stewart Day, has been defer
red until the Continental Congress,
d. A. r., meets next spring. Some
few months ago the idea of having
a copy made of the artist, Frank B.
Mayors historic painting The
Burning of tn Peggy Stewart" that
hangs in the State House, hau its in
ception with Mrs. Weems Roidout,
member of the local Chapter The
Chapter decided to have the painting
copied, and ordered the local artist,
Miss Katherine Walton, to paint the
picture.
Miss Walton has been engaged
on the work for some weeks. and the
painting is nearly, completed. 1t is
true copy, and bears the imprint of
the lady artists personal conception
of the original painting, which in
some touches of coloring, light shade,
ETC., is said to be an improvement on
the original. The original painting
was executed in 1896 by Frank B.
Mayer, deceased. and was probably
his last painting.
1t shows Anthony Stewart, the
owner of the brig, standing on the
deck of his vessel with a torch in his
hand. His pose is rather grandilo-
quent for such an occasion, and is
more or less dramatic, but portrays
the character of the man who offer
ed to burn his own brig laden with
the hated taxed tea. In the picture
the rigging is seen to be on fire, and
the small boat with six men is near
by, ready to take the owner back to
Annapolis. In the small boat is the
conspicuous figure of Or. Charles
Alexander Wartield, an ancestor of
Governor Warfeld, who melted the
mob's action at the time.
Great care is given to all minor
details in Mr.. Mayors painting, and
the costuming is varied and histor.
ically correct in every detail. Miss
Walton, in her copy of the paint
ing, has closely followed these de-
tails, but has made a few changes
in tone and coloring of the water
and of the mob depicted on theother
shore, watching the heroic act of
Stewart.
In the dim distance is the State
House and Wind Mill Point, the brig
having been burned between Horn
Point NOW Eastport) and what is
now the Naval Academy (Old Fort
Severn) or Wind Mil Point. The
painting is inspiring, and is a lesson
in true Maryland history. Miss
Walton's copy has beer very much
admired by visiting artists and others
The painting is intended to teach a
lesson in Maryland history.

CIRCUIT COURT MEETS
October Term OF Anne Arundel
Body Begins AT The Court
House This Morning And
Jury Is Charged
FRANK A. MUNROE FOREMAN
Annapolis Merchant Head OF The cOunty's
Inquest Judge Brashears Warns
Against Election Frauds

With Associate Judge James r.
Brashears on the bench, the regular
October term of the Circuit Court
for Anne Arundel county convened
at the Court House this morning.
Following the drawing of the
grand jury and the charging of that
body by Judge Brashears. the most
of the morning was spent in motions
by members of the bar on cases in
which they were interested and in ar
ranging the cases on the docket or
hearing and trial.
In delivering his charge to the
jury, Judge Bras hears referred to the
Corrupt Practices Act of 1908 as a
law which it seemed to him was dy-
ing Aside from a bare mention of
other matters which he is legally re-
quired to call to the attention of the
grand jury, Judge Brashears devoted
the whole of his talk to the jury, OF
which Frank A. Munroe, of this city.
is foreman, to the subject of corrupt
practices in elections. He said in
part:
This act, passed in 1908, seems
to me to be dying, although imme-
diately after its passage in that
year one or two arrests were made
for violations of its provisions. 1t
may not have been violated in the
last primary election which is
made by the new primary election
law to come under its provisions
equally with general elections but
if you know of any cases against
it during the recent primary, you
should take them up"
Judge Brashears also called at
tention to the fact that as the Gov
ernor's office in the State House
comes under the jurisdiction of the
Anne Arundel grand jury. that body
had the right of access to all nom-
nations and returns made to the
Secretary of State for such action
as it saw fit He said he did not
know when the jury would finish
its labors, but advised if it should
be necessary, that the body adjourn
over and return again after the
coming Congressional election. He
concluded by urging the grand jury
not to let the Corrupt Practices Act
die upon the statute books.
The member of the grand jury
drawn were: Frank A. Munroe, fore
man; Walter l.. Brady, Joseph A.
Leitch. +. l.. Hartge, Samuel 7.
Wilson, Maynard Carr, William F.
Keuthe. Thomas Nj. Benson, Edward

seizing the shears, she clipped a bit
of miscellany to appease the appetite

But all afternoon people kept calling
up over the phone to find out who

their queries the editor became tired

this for paltry 25 cent piece. In

Tonight AT The Colonial

One of the real big treats of each
theatrical season is that old but over
popular stage story, Uncle Toms
Cabin as presented by Stetson's big
spectacular company, which will be
seen tonight at the Colonial Theatre.
AS in former years, Manager Wash
burn has equipped his sterling company
with new effects, and startling scenic.

promised. The vaudeville and special
ty numbers are said to be of the 1910
brand, while the negro melodies and
the old southern plantation songs are
rendered as only the genuine southern
darkies know how to sing them.

Garfield appeared before the senate
committee on public lands today
and opposed the bill submitted By
Secretary Ballinger. authorizing the
secretary to withdraw public lands

He declared that as the President

sired Withdrawals. No conclusions

taken up again tomorrow
A brief bearing directly upon
questions involved in the bill under
consideration, was presented TO the
committee BY Chairman Nelson. The
conclusions reached follow:
The power Of the President 10

A High Price Suggestion

An organized effort on the part Of
housekeepers might effect something
in the way of reducing the cost Of
living, by exercising care in order
ing their supplies. In these days Of
the telephone, it is not at all unusual
for a grocery house 10 make several
small deliveries 70 one house in Z
day, and but few Of their telephone
customers order enough at one time
to fill more than the immediate
needs.
The cost Of delivery is heavy bur
den on grocers and meat markets,
which the keen competition rend-
ers impossible any attempt TO reduce,
and which must be added to the sell
ing price of the goods The Herald
predicts the success Of a provision
house that will sell for cash on the
counter and charge the cost Of de-
livery service 70 those desiring it.
