The Pineapple in England.

Pineapples, which Londoners can now buy at the cheapest rate within living memory, first reached England in the latter part of the seventeenth century. The fruit was thus novelty to Sir Christopher Wren's generation; but he soon recognized it's value as an architectural ornament, and copper pineapples about five feet high figure prominently on the towers of St. Paul's. So highly did Wren esteem the fine proportions and enriched sur face of this fruit that his original de. sign for St. Pauls shows an enormous pineapple in the place of the dome. Happily his maturer thoughts saved us from that appalling spectacle. Since Wren the pineapple has been as much at home in our architecture as on our dinner tables. It has descended even to cast iron, and is frequently found in old.fashioned streets Queen Victoria treasured a seal given by her husband on which a pineapple was engraved, together with the motto, "Sa .gloire nest pas sa couronne.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1915-08-05
TIE GOVERNORS DECISION.

After a careful study of the Republi-
can political situation in Maryland.
Governor Goldsborough has decided
that he will not enter the contest for a
party denomination for the high office
he has filled so well. He has taken this
action in spite of the fact that he has
received many offers of hearty support
from Republicans in all parts of the
state, offers proving that his work as
Governor met with cordial approval
and commentator. No doubt. with
such evidence of friendship on the part
of so many Maryland Republicans, the
temptation and inclination to enter the
fight were strong. but the Governor
saw that his entrance would probably
entail bitter fight, and for the sake of
party harmony decided okeep out of
it.
Governor Goldsborough's action will
be commended by Republicans in all
parts Of the state. Instead of tri-
angular contest the fight now narrows
down to two strong candidates, Messrs.
Weller and Warburton, and as they are
warm personal friends there can be no
bitterness between them. The contest
will be clean cut and Republicans can
make no mistake in their votes at the
primary.
The Governor can be well proud of
his record. He has made one of the
best executives Maryland has had for
many long day and can retire at the
end of his four-years term with a full
consciousness of work well done, of
duty well performed.
