Governor Lownes Dilemma Reflects Annapolis Talks
A February 29 1896 Annapolis telegram reports Democratic Senators in conference outlining strategy. They aim to elect a treasurer, resist the Bruce civil service amendment, push the Hering reassessment bill, and reform voter registration rules with Baltimore City changes in 1897. Names mentioned include Gadd and Howard for librarian and labor statistician, with sessions pending executive action. The piece also notes Nye’s death, a tax-booking push, and debates over physical training in public schools.

Physical training in schools folly to country youth
A letter argues against mandatory physical training in public schools, claiming it wastes working youths’ time and worsens unemployment. The writer urges home labor and farm life as proper exercise, cites the Boers as examples of work-based fitness, and warns of creating a class of idlers while railing at reform. Includes brief notes on Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and a dressmaking notice.
