FAIR EXCHANGE.
A New Back for an Old One
How it is Done In Annapolis.

The back aches at times with dull,
indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the region OF the kidneys,
and again the loins are so lame to
stoop is agony. No use to rub or ap-
ply a plaster to the back in this condi-
ton. You cannot reach the cause.
Exchange the bad back for a new and
stronger one. Follow the example of
this Annapolis citizen.

TO DON "CUTAWAY" COAT.
Governor Elect GoldsbOrough to Dis
regard Precedent as to Inaugural
Costume.

Governor-elect Goldsborough is moth
ing if not stylish man, and he will,
therefore, conform to style in his in
auguration costume. He will likely
disregard precedent when he is inau-
gurated Governor of Maryland on
Wednesday, January 10, and will wear
a cutaway coat, that is now under
construction by a fashionable Balti-
more tailor.
The majority, if not all, of Mary
lads Governors since Colonial days
were inaugurated in Prince Albert
coats, until the latter are succeeded
by the more modern "frock" coat,
built somwhat on the same general
lines and of kindred materials for
such occasions. The late Elihu E..
Jackson was, perhaps, the last Cover
nor to stand by the traditional Prince
Albert for his inauguration.
BY the time Governor Frank Brown
came along the "frock' was the sub
stitute for the Prince Albert in polite
society, except in cases of strong
family traditions and with the kind of
a man who wanted to wear the kind
of coat his grandfather wore. The late
Governor Lloyd Lowndes was in
augurated in a "frock" coat. Gov
ernor John Walter Smith "spoke his
piece" in one, and so did his success.
