MARYLAND BAN SOUGHT
ON 2-TERM GOVERNORS
Coad Bill Would Prevent Executive
Succeeding Self After
1880.

BY q Staff Correspondent Of The star.
Prohibition against any further gov
ernor of Maryland succeeding himself
Is contained In a bill just introduced
In the Senate by Senator Joseph A.
Coad, Democrat, of st. Marys County.
The measure would not prevent Gov.
Ritchie from seeking another term, as
1t would have to be submitted to the
electorate Of the State at the 1890
election, when q new governor also will
be elected. The measure would change
the constitution.
The purpose of the bill, according to
the author, is to prevent any repetition
of the conditions which have been dis
closed In the State roads investigation.
The st. Marys Senator is regarded as
an anti Richie man.

Story of the Operetta

Frances Marie, daughter Of Cyrus
TempSeton, 1he lighthouse keeper,
md captain of yachting crew of
Sailor Maids, is celebrating her
eighteenth birthday and the launching
of her new yacht.
Edward Dover, an old friend and
playmate sweetheart whom she has
not seen for eight years, is to pilot
the new yacht on its first voyage
across the bay. Edward knows nothing
about yachting and detests the ocean.
When he arrives he is mistaken for a
caterer whom they have employed to
serve at dinner party in the eve
ming.
Because of his interest in jeanette
friend of Frances Marie, and his
horror for the water, he does not re-
veal his true identity. Edward is
aided in his plot Of deception by
David Kern, a yachtsman who comes
with a message from the caterer.
David in turn is mistaken for Ed
ward by Frances Marie, and before he
can explain, the real Edward pre-
walls on him to assume his name and
sail the yacht. David refuses but is
drawn into the scheme by Edwards
clever planning and held there by
his interest in Frances Marie.
The climax comes when David
learns Frances Marie's engagement
to Edward Dover is soon to be an
nounced. The true identity Of both is
revealed and Frances Marie and her
friends are shocked at the discovery.
After much explaining the young
men clear themselves and win the
girls with fathers blessings.

away or dispose of intoxicating liq-
nors to minor, shall be guilty of a

tense, be punishable by a fine of not
less than Two Hundred and Fifty
Dollars, nor more than Five Hundred
Dollars and by Imprisonment for not
less than six months nor more than
one year in the county Jail, and for
the second and subsequent offenses
he shall be guilty of a felony and
punishable by fine of not less than
Five Hundred Dollars, nor more than
Two Thousand Dollars, and by i'm
prisonment in the state penitentiary
for not less than one year, nor more
than two years. Nothing herein con-
tanned shall prohibit the furnishing
of Intoxicating liquor to minors upon
