Chlllicothe, O., Dec. 22.-Already the

proper comes on March 1, 1003, this be
ing the centennial of the date upon
iwbicb the first Ohio legislature con
vened in opening session in this city
Although Marietta is the oldest town in
-Ohio, Chlllicothe was the first state
.capital, and it is therefore eminently
proper that the commemorative exer
-clses should be held here. ..
It was in Chlllicothe, too, that the
-convention was held which framed the
original constitution of Ohio. This was

- morial of this event Nov. 20 of the pres
ent year witnessed an interesting cere
mony, the placing of a bronze tablet on
. the site of the first statebouse. On the
-tablet is shown the old stone courthouse
surroundei by a circle lettered as fol
lows: "Courthouse of Ross county, used
as the st tehouse, 1800." The great
seal of the state of Ohio is also shown.
-and the tablet bears the following in
script ion: , 1
"On this site stood the first state-
house of Ohio, where the original con
stitutlon of the common wealth was
adopted, Nov. 29, 1802." -
It niav be said thai Chlllicothe holds
In store for those who will attend the
centennial, celebration many relics and
historic sites. Here Is located Mount

on the state seal, and here, too, are
Adenn, the home of Governor Worth
ington, and Fruit Hill, the home of
Governor McArthur and later of Go
eruor Allen. On every side will be
found examples of the work of that
mysterious people, the mound builders,
regarding whose history so little is
known; AH three of the governors men
tioned above lie buried in Chlllicothe,
and here also is to be seen the grave of
Edward Tiffin, the first governor of
Ohio and the president of the constitu
tional convention. At the close of his
