An Interesting Fact
ANNAPOLIS-CAPITAL OF THE
UNITED STATES

UNITED STATES
The hearts of the Colonists must
have beat with pardonable pride on
the Goth day of November, 1888.
For weeks before that date we can
imagine the prominent citizens of An
napolis meeting in conference at vari-
Gus homes, or in the tavern, discuss
ing the best means of locating in that
thriving town a new enterprise-one
that would for all time come to place
the name of their town on the lips of
the citizens of the entire country. At
least they must have arrived at the
conclusion that a committee should be
appointed composed of the "go-get-
tiers" of the community, in the nature
of legislative committee, to induce
the Assembly to get behind their cher
ished proposition.
The committee was evidently well
selected, for we read in Andrews that
the Assembly acted with this group
of citizens in urging upon the Con-
gress of the Confederation that it
make its permanent abode in Mary
land. The resolution adopted by the
legislative body set forth the superior
claims of Annapolis, urging it's ad-
vantages in the way of health, accesi-
bility and as the possessor of many
springs of excellent water.
The Assembly, in its desire to Sc
cure the honor sought, offered to pre-
sent the estate House and Public Cir
Gle in the City of Annapolis (exclu-
siye of school house, loan office, etc.,,
to the honorable Congress for their
USE" Even the Governors Mansion
was offered for the use of the Presi-
dent of the Congress and the Assem-
bly, further agreeing to build thirteen
dwelling houses and other buildings
for the residences of the delegates of
each of the thirteen Confederated
states" at an expense mot exceeding
thirty thousand pounds specie"
This persuasive resolution and gen.
erous offer, forwarded to the Mary
land delegates in Congress, Daniel
Carroll and James McHenry, who, no
doubt added their eloquence in urging
affirmative action, had the desired eff
feet, at least, partially, for we find
that the Congress decided, temporar-
lily, to avail itself of the hospitality
of the Free State.
Accordingly, Congress adjourned to
meet at Annapolis, November 26,
1888, but it was not until December
13 that the necessary quorum was Sc
cured, nine states being represented.
It was during this session of Con-
gress-on December %, 1888, that
George Washington, in the presence
of the Governor and other state Of
ficers of Maryland, and certain mill
tary officers and ladies and gentlemen
of high standing, resigned his Office as
Commander-in-C Chief of the American
Army.
Thus it was that Maryland shares
equal honors with Pennsylvania, with
which state she had been embroiled in
long drawn out bitter boundary dis
pute, in having been selected to have
located within her borders the Capital
of the United States,

out danger. So they fall In
love.
A play based upon such shall
low premise must depend much
upon cracking repartee, sharp
and interesting dialogue. It is
here that the Hatvany's lines
place a considerable burden
upon the actress for they lack
the sparkle Of q Vaughan and
only the consummate Barrymore
art for inspiring the common
place with dignity and import
ance make them sound real.
When she left the stage but
briefly in the long-winded and
singularly unimpressive second
act the play literally seemed to
sag in the middle.
Being one who can usually
be held in magic spell by the
Barrymore voice, mannerisms,
and convincing naturalneSS of
her acting ease, this reviewer
watched her shed tears, real
tears, last night with I'M
moiStened eye. Again I say
the fault is with the play and
not Miss Barrymore. Sympathy
just refused to gravitate toward
the unhappy loser in q wilful
game of deceit.

FAMOUS SCULPTOR
TO ABANDON WORK
George Grey Barnard Says
He'll Walk Out When
WreckerS Come.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 7.-On the
morning of November 81 George Grey
Barnard one of Americas best known
sculptors, is expecting the arrival of a
gang of wreckers to. tear down his
studio on Gods Thumb" cliff that
rises high between the Hudson River
and Broadway at the upper end of
Manhattan.
And when they come. he said today,
he Isl prepared to turn the place over to
them, put on his coat and walk out
leaving behind him most of the work he
has accomplished in the last is years.
It consists OF enormous statues of men
and women-figures in heroic cast, most
of them Is or more feet high. They
were to have been part of his Rain
bow Arch originally a unit of a gil
gantic memorial of war and peace. If
he is forced to move now, the sculptor
said today, his arch will never be COM
pleted.
About is years ago Mr.. Barnard built
his studio on Gods Thumb" owned
by John D. Rockefeller ir., and a part
of the property he recently gave to the
City of New York for park. The
studio was built while Barnard was
doing some work for the Rockefellers.
Recently the sculptor received notice
to vacate by November 81.
1T took me years to get these lights
perfect" the sculptor said today. II
can't go through it all again. I'm too
old. To move out now would mean
starting all over"
Mr.. Barnard said recently statements
attributed to him, that he would chal-
lenge the Rockefellers and the City
of New York to move him out, were in
correct.
I'm not going to challenge any one"
he said. IT shall simply abondon the
project. can't take these things with
me and I can't start all over again.
When the wreckers come I'll just
walk out. They can do with what they
find here as they see fit. Anyway
think Mr.. Rockefeller has given to the
noblest city in the world the noblest
park in the world"
