a memorial of the dedication of the al
tar or of the purification of the sancl

In the homes, principally those of the

by the kindling, of small yellow wax

(increased by one each evening, there
being eight lighted on the last day.

D. A. K. HISTORIAN
DESCRIBES EVENT
| One hundred and thirty eight years
| ago today General Georg* Washington
resigned his commission as (loin*
j roander-in-Chief of the Continental
Army in the Old Senate Chamber of
tho capital. This is the event in the
early history of Annapolis of which it?
citizens are proudest, and thi> Old
[Senate Chamber, restored to its origi
nal stair of beauty, i? regarded as one
of the handsomest memorial? of Col
: onlul days to be found in the State,
j That this notable even; took place
at Annapolis is due to the progres
sive sj irii of the people of Maryland.
At that period Congress had no per
manent location to meet in. and
| sought such convenient accomodations
as they could obtain Trenton. New
Jorsey. had a line State House ami so
had Annapolis, and Congress, taking
advantage of these buildings in which
i to meet, selected them for their as
j sembling in alternate years. It fell to
the fortunate lot of Annapolis for
Cong reft* to nttot lure in the year
Washington returned ills illustrious
i commission to Congress,
j At the last meeting of the Peggy
Stewart Chaj ter of the D \ R.. whb h
very Appropriately holds it- sessions
1 in th*- Old Senate Chamber, its his
• (■lan. Miss Katherine Walton, re.id
a most interesting paper on this event,
in Washington's career. It is a mut
ter of local interest that the Fathet
, of his Country opened the ball gtv fi lt
in his honor at that time with Mina
Walton’s great-grandmother. Mrs.
James Mackuldn. one of the mo l
beautiful women of the day.
The historian’s paper said in part
Miss Walton's Taper
i “Mid the rush of modern life let us
pause a moment to recall a great event,
which took place here. in this, his
toric State House, within these hal
lowed walls, and 0.. this sacred spot,
I around which all Hie dream, and charm,
and spell of yesterday, still linger to
, tell of the pact, and the illustrious per
| sonages who have passed this way:—.
!of the great Washington, who Dirt
| years ago, laid down his sword as
Comtnander-in-Chlef of the Continent
, ra! Army.
! "When Patrick Henrv was asked
‘i whom he considered the greatest man
! ill the lirs? Congress, he replied: "1 1*
i you speak of eloquence, Mr, Rutledge*
of South Carolina, is by far tho great
est orator, but if you speak of solid
judgment and wide information. Col.
Washington is unquestionably tho
greatest man on the floor ’
“Thus when the second Congress
met. May 10, 1775. Col. Washington
was again among the number. Tho
. great drama had opened, the war of
| lndependence had begun und men
I whose excellence ha? rarely been re
. ’ corded in history, assembled to de
j cide the interest of millions of in
. jured freemen—men whom money
I could not buy nor danger terrify.
, After providing for the raining of an
army G**n. Washington was nominated
by Thomas Johnson, (some historians
( • narn John Adams), and unani
mously elected Commander-in-chief
of the Continental Army of tho
I'niied Province, June 15, 1775. Col.
Washington received his appointment.
[ with great diffidence of his military
experience, but declared his determi
. nation to exert every power for his
country's service and the success of
a glorious cause.
5 “On June 19, 1775, he received his
commission and with laudable prompt
i ness prepared for duty. On his ar
rival at Boston he found an army of
, 15.000 men—zealous, courageous, but,
far from possessing any efficiency. H *
'organized fhe army into brigades, and
divisions and drilled therrv with untir
ing perseverance. It is thus we fol
' low his career through the spring of
> 1776. when on July 4. 1776, the Dcc-
I laration of Independence proclaimed
at Philadelphia infused new life into*
1 those who felt they had a huge ob
s ject for which to work, a blessing to
j i themselves, their children and their
1 descendents. Passing over the hard
ship? of battles lost, and hattles won*
1 we see triumphant success crowning
'ifhe arduous labors of Col. Washing-*
; ton.
