With the meeting of the Legislature
this week came the announcement of the
various committees by the President OF
the Senate and the Speaker of the House.
The entire time of the General Assembly,
up to this week, has been taken up con-
sidering the new rules that were adopted,
and now comes the food of bills to be
introduced. And in this connection it
may be said the new rules provide for the
considering of bills in more expedi-
tions and public manner than in the
past. giving the public full opportunity to
know what is being done, which can
hardly be said was the case in former
Maryland Legislatures. The old plan OF
engrossing bills will be succeeded by the
printing Of them, which will prove big
time and expense saver.

special musical tone. Architects be-

is true that each of these buildings re-

How one of the Worlds Greatest Song
Birds Was Discovered.
Many years ago a maid employed by
Miss Lundberg, a famous dancer of the
Royal Opera in Stockholm, was given
a holiday by her mistress and set out
to take walk. Passing shabby little
house in the poorest section Of the city
she heard child's voice, which seem
ed to her wonderfully fresh and beauti-
full, and, looking up, she saw a little
girl sitting near the window singing to
a pet kitten. In great excitement she
rushed to her mistress and told her of
the exquisite voice she had heard.
Miss Lundberg was somewhat skep-
teal, but finally went to the house and
heard the SWEET song. She, too, was
convinced of the great natural beauty
Of the child's voice and reported it to
Croelius, the singing master of the
opera.
Croelius was also somewhat skepti-
cal at first, but at Miss Lundberg's re-
quest he, too, went and. standing on
the sidewalk, heard the child sing.
Enraptured in turn, he told Count
Buke, manager Of the Royal opera, and
arrangements were made by which the
little girl sang for the count.
She was at once taken as free pupil
in the Royal Opera school and there
after received the best instruction Swe-
den could give. The child was Jenny
