Boston Tea Party Not Only
Affair OF Kind.

Much publicity has been given the
Boston Tea Party" which was picS
turesque as well as significant. but
1t was not the only tea party" of
that time. Annapolis, the capital of
Maryland, had an equally good one
with the same intents and purposes
and fully as spectacular. In the
summer OF 1774 the brigantine
Peggy Stewart" entered the port
OF Annapolis with a cargo OF tea.
The people OF the city regarded the
shipment as an insult and a de-
fiance OF their will. They gathered
In the street to denounce the local
importers and TO organize for the
destruction OF the tea.
The local importers appealed to
Charles Carroll of Carrollton for
protection. His answer was that the
only way by which they could es-
cape personal violence would be to
burn both ship and cargo instantly,
and in plain sight OF the infuriated
populace. This was done, and the
burning ship and cargo in Annapolis
harbor was QUITE as spectacular as
the emptying OF a cargo OF tea into
Boston harbor Detroit News,
