EDWARD JANNEY BRANNAN HIS picture, ladies and gentlemen, represents His Honor, the one, only, and original Mayor of South Baltimore; the individual who most of all, is responsible for the prosperity and beauty of that exclusive suburb of the great metropolis. Among his followers and subjects, he is known by the appellations “Multy”, “Oswy” or “Reds”, but these names serve only to emphasize the esteem in which he is held, it being the inalienable prerogative of the populace to nickname their great. Let not, ladies and gentlemen, his eminence as an executive over- shadow and obscure in your mind his prominence as the working member of the firm of O’Conor and Brannan, those leaders and authori- ties in the field of Organic Chem- istry. His position in the firm as working member has been the cause of the discovery of many new and unnamed gases, which it has been his unenvied delight to inhale and enjoy. His Honor has lately shown a tendency to spend his recreation hours motoring, and no one has been as yet able to ascertain if he has company on these nightly excursions, the speed which he at- tains rendering it impossible to distinguish forms as he passes, heading north. It has been rumored that he, with his partner in the chemical concern will sojourn in the North for the summer, there taking in the cooling breezes and being “taken in” himself, no doubt. If he does not succumb we may expect that in the fall, he will again, be a member of our community, ' pursuing his legal studies at the U. of M. preparatory to dimming, by comparison, the legal lights of this city. 25
