AMES SWAN FRICK, Baltimore, son of William Frederick and Anne Elizabeth (Swan) Frick, was born November 30, 1848, in Baltimore. He received his preliminary education in private schools of his native city, and graduated from the University of Virginia in 1869, after which he entered the Law School of the University of Maryland, and was admitted to practice at the Maryland bar in 1872. He entered upon the legal profession in asso- ciation with his father, and devoted himself to it until the year 1890, when he withdrew from active practice.
A man of intelligence and culture, possessing artistic, musical and literary tastes, which his wealth and leisure have permitted him to indulge, Mr. Frick has identified himself with the best social and artistic life of his own and foreign countries. He is a member, and was at one time upon the executive committee of the Society of the Cincinnati, that noble organization founded by military heroes, the "officers of the American Army, who associated themselves into one society of friends to endure as long as they shall endure, or any of their eldest male posterity." Mr. Frick is a prominent clubman, an enthusiast of outdoor sports, to which he devotes much of his time, and a member of the following organizations: The Maryland Historical Society, the Municipal Art Society, the Maryland Club (of which he was governor 1890-1909), the Baltimore Club, the University Club, the Baltimore Athletic Club, the Baltimore Country Club, the Elkridge Fox Hunting Club, the Automobile Club of Maryland, as well as the Union and Manhattan Clubs of New York, the Automobile Club of America, and the Royal Automobile Club of London, England.
Mr. Frick's wife was Elise Winchester Dana, daughter of Samuel and Abbie E. (Rice) Dana, of Boston, Massachusetts. She was born July 5, 1864, in Augusta, Maine, and was married there June 22, 1886. Her father, Samuel Dana, was a colonel of artillery in the United States Army, who served throughout the Civil War, and was stationed in California at the time of his death, in the year 1870. He was a descendant of Richard H. Dana, progenitor of the family in America, who settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1640, the long line of whose descendants, distinguished on the bench, at the bar, in science and in literature, is too well known to need recapitulation. Mrs. Samuel Dana was a daughter of Richard Drury Rice, judge of the Supreme Court of Maine and of an old Massachusetts family. Resides 126 West Franklin street.

MONG the multitudes who venerate the memory of the late Robert Lehr, for nearly half a century the Baltimore repre- sentative of the great banking house of Brothers Bonninger, there are, we venture to say, few even of those not person- ally known to him, who would not feel interested on recall- ing his life and character, with an emotion elicited, except among his intimates, by one as high in the financial and social world as was this great banker and distinguished citizen.
Robert Lehr was born March 14, 1819, in Coblence on the Rhine, of a family distinguished for many generations in military life. His education was received in Germany, and he early showed a peculiar aptitude for affairs requiring executive and administrative ability. That his talents were accorded speedy recognition was proved in 1850, when, a young man not much past thirty, he was sent to Baltimore to take charge of the famous shipping, banking and general commission house of Brothers Banninger, which had connections in the principal cities of all quarters of the globe. When Mr. Lehr came to America to assume control of this business he brought with him letters to the most prominent people in Baltimore, and was accredited at the Lega- tion at Washington.
Mr. Lehr was largely instrumental in extending the scope of the commerce of the United States in Europe, and for this not our city alone, but the country at large, is indebted to him, although the trade of Baltimore reaped as a matter of course, especial benefits in the extension of her reputation and the establishment of the credit of her merchants abroad. Mr. Lehr was a director in the Merchants' Bank, the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company, a trustee of the Baltimore Savings Bank and vice-president of the Baltimore Safe Deposit Com- pany. He was extensively interested in the shipping of tobacco to Europe, and was a type of the Baltimore merchant of whom the city is justly proud, whose enterprise and integrity have not only devel- oped widely the commerce of the metropolis, but have given her an enviable reputation for fair dealing and honorable methods.
He was one of the original subscribers and founders of the Mary- land Club, which was opened on Fayette street with Jerome Bonaparte first president, and was one of the last of the life governors.
Mr. Lehr died March 10, 1887, at his Baltimore home, leaving the record of a life which was a happy illustration of the honors and rewards of business fidelity and industry combined with high principle and unswerving integrity.

THE BALTIMORE LAW SCHOOL.
T HE Baltimore Law School was incorporated by the Legislature of Maryland in the year 1900, and began its first session in the Fall of that year. During the thirteen years of its existence it has become a decided factor in the field of legal education in Mary- land. Its founders realized that the young man of limited means-too limited to permit of his acquiring a college education, deserved the opportunity of obtaining a legal education, if he was possessed of good mental calibre and ambitious. For this reason, no entrance examina- tion was required, but when once enrolled, the applicant was required to demonstate his fitness for the study of the law by rigid examina- tions. The School has been prosperous, and its student body now num- bers two hundred and seventy men. Hon. Alfred S. Niles, former mem- ber of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City, is the Dean, and Edwin T. Dickerson is the Secretary and Treasurer. The Faculty is composed of judges and lawyers in active practice, most of whom are young men.
On February 1, 1911, this School and the Baltimore University School of Law were consolidated under the name of the Baltimore Law School. Plans have recently been perfected for a consolidation of this School with the Law School of the University of Maryland, by which the Baltimore Law School will become an integral part of the former School, and its students will become students of the Uni- versity of Maryland. The motive for the consolidation is the better- ment of legal education in Maryland, and it is confidently expected that the result will be a decided improvement in legal standards and better trained lawyers.

T HE AMERICAN INDEMNITY COMPANY, the latest of Balti- more's casualty and surety companies, was organized in 1913.
Its purpose is to consolidate into one large company a number of smaller casualty and surety companies now doing business independ- ently. By the purchase of the New Amsterdam Casualty Company, a small but very reputable casualty company which has been successfully conducted for 15 years, the American Indemnity Company will start on its way with at least $1,000,000 per annum premium income assured. The officers of the American Indemnity Company are all men of experi- ence in the lines which they will undertake. Its president, J. Arthur Nelson, was for many years vice-president of the Fidelity & Deposit Company of Maryland, and A. M. Bowen, Jr., its vice-president, was connected with the same company as its treasurer. Sifford Pearre, the treasurer, was for many years connected with the Mercantile Trust & Deposit Company of Baltimore, where he had a splendid training in finance. Its directorate includes many of Baltimore's best-known busi- ness men and many well known in financial circles in New York, Boston and Washington.

Above is shown a picture of the BALTIMORE CATHEDRAL, one of the oldest and probably the most beautiful church edifice of its kind in the United States. Imposing and stately from an architectural standpoint as one gazes on this fine building, which is over a hundred years old, he cannot help but he impressed with its appearance. Thousands of visitors and tourists to the Monumental City view it every year, as it is known as one of the principal sights of Balti- more. The Cathedral has a sanctuary which is circular in dimensions, and cannot be compared with by any other sanc- tuary in this country, being 70 feet wide and 68 feet deep. Exclusive of the circular projection in the sanctuary, the main building measures 180 feet 6 inches. On two sides of the building are transepts, which project 20 feet beyond the main building, heing 35 feet 9 inches wide, making the extreme width of the building 115 feet 10 inches. The seating capacity of the church is 1200. Many persons have tried to describe this beautiful old edifice, but as it is a combina- tion of Roman and Russian architecture, it was found rather hard to give a very good description of it. You would in reality call the style of architecture Russo-Byzantine, as it has the hell-shaped towers of Moscow, which resemble very closely the ones on the Church of the Assumption at Moscow; Roman architecture in the building can be seen very clearly both on the exterior and interior of the church. The columns, entablature and cornice of the portico are of sandstone, which came from the quarries of Nova Scotia. The main walls of the Cathedral are faced with granite from quar- ries in the neighborhood of Ellicott City, Md., the same quarries from which the stone nsed in a recent addition to the Cathedral by Cardinal Gibbons was obtained. The Cardinal, who is the head of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, re- sides in a fine building in the rear of the church. It cannot be seen in the picture, as it faces the east. the Cathedral facing the west. at the northeast corner of Cathedral and Mulberry streets.
