LEGISLATURE VIII Meet and Adjourn.

-
For the first time since 1878 the
legislature will convene the first day
of January. The constitution, provides
that the legislature shall meet on the
first Wednesday of January, but, ac-
cording to Clerk of the House Pierce,
it has been 33 years since jan ! has
fallen on Wednesday.
1t is expected that the two houses
will meet at IL o'clock and immedi-
ately adjourn, as the reception to the
state officers by the new governor is
scheduled for the afternoon of Jan.
l and in the evening Ferris will hold
open house for the members of the
legislature and public.
There is a possibility that the mes
sages of the retiring and the incom-
ing governors will not be read at the
first day of the session. Since 1879 the
governor has taken the oath of office
on the first day, and all the inaugural
ceremonies. have been cleared away
before the legislature assembled. This
year, however, it will be different and
there is considerable speculation as to
how the program will be carried out.

State House Flag Now Waves Over Republican Head of

R. p Graham Secretary of State


When Governor-elect Goldsborouqh
stood up following Governor Crothers' 4
introduction, he was forced to stand
for many minutes before starting his
inaugural address. while the assem-
bled crowd cheered itself hoarse. His
address, setting forth his policies
and intentions for the next four wears
will be found elsewhere in The Can
ital.
After making his address. the Gov
ernor-elect proceeded across the corri-
dor of the State House to the Senate
Chamber, which had been packed for
hours with waiting throng, gathered
to see him take the oath of office.
which was administered by Chief
Jud ge A. Hunter Boyd, of the Mary
land Court of Appeals.
The oath was taken and the Cover.
nor pressed his lips to his personal
Bible, which he had brought from
Cambridge with him for this purpose.
Then there was an informal scramble
by the crowd to grasp the new Execu-
tIve's hand, and it was fifteen minutes
before the Senate Chamber was clear
ed and that staid and dignifed body re-
sumed its sessions.
The Governor then went to his off
ces in the second floor and at once
sent to the Senate his appointment of
Robert +. Graham, of Salisbury. to
be Secretary of State. The Senate
Immediately went into executive ses-
sion and confirmed this appointment.
and the Governor returned to the

the next four years, where he an6

in livelier mood than on yesterday,
and took much interest in what was
going on in the room. 1t paid par

Governor Crothers and his nephew

Crothers, left Annapolis Immediately
after the swearing in of Governor
Goldsborough. They went direct to
Elkton, where the Governor will again

Governor will go to Atlantic City for
the first real rest he has had since he
went into Office four years ago. 1t
is not probable that he will do much
work for several months. His inten-
tion is to resume the practice of law
and it is more than probable that he
will have an office in Baltimore city
as well as in Elkton.
The Governor has by no means lost
his interest in Sta te politics, and it is
known that some Of the organization
Democrats in Baltimore have urged
him to take up his residence in Balti-

necessary to see that the strictest

A WEDDING STOPPED.
Irate Pater FamiIias of Groom Holds
Up Ceremony.

Yesterday a marriage license was
granted by the Clerk of the Court to
Mr.. Bradley and Miss Hilda Evans,
both of Washington. The young lady
is the daughter of Mr.. Charles w.
Evans, native Annapolitan, and an
old Annapolis typo, who now holds a
position in the Government Printing
Office, Washington.
Mr.. Evans wife died some few
years ago and he has recently married
a second time. His daughter, Miss
Hilda, spends much of her time in
Annapolis with the family of Mr..
A. j. Stinchcomb, Market street,
Mrs. Stinchcomb is an aunt, and Miss
Evans is we'll known here.
Mr.. Bradley has been paying at
tention to Miss Evans for some time,
and the young couple came to An
napolis to wed. They had secured a
marriage license and were to have
been married here, but the ceremony
was held up by the irate father of the
groom-to-be, who followed the couple
to Annapolis. and telegraphed as well,
holding up the marriage because of
the alleged youth of the prospective
groom. Mr.. Bradley, Sr., spoiled
the denouement of a very pretty

spent and to be spent are too great to
throw away, and as the life of a road
without care is short, we should see

OYSTERS.
Perhaps the most valuable single
industry in the State of Maryland is
the catching and the handling of oys
tsrs. Nature plentifully supplies the
Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries
with this source of wealth, which
the thoughtfulness and selfishness of
various interest have in the past,
and are now, fast dissipating. 1t is
now time that this subject be dealt
with in a generous and broadminded
way by all the interests that in any
way touch it. There can possibly
be no real permanent conflict of in
terests. The purposes of all should be
the same. and will be when fully un-
derstood. 1t will be wise to take
this matter up and to comprehensive
ly view it, giving to each interest a
full and complete hearing, and act in
the manner best calculated to con-
serve this source of wealth to the citi-
zens of our State.
