take place. To say the least, they felt that
they had talked more than was prudent.
II they had done SO, however, the doctor
had not fully understood the matter, for
he had taken no alarm as to that or any
imm ediate action on the part OF the
British.
They returned to- the house where they
had so lately been entertained and made
the old gentleman their prisoner. 1t is a
fact that finding him preparing to retire
they gave him scant time for redressing.
and actually carried him off without his
wig or his spectacles.
Now, Frank Key, young lawyer, one of
his near neighbors, and relative by mar
rlage, was one of the first notified OF his
dilemma. He lost no time in applying
under flag of truce-to Admiral Cockburn,
on board his vessel, for the doctors re-
lease. Instead, however, of securing his
old friends liberty he was himself detained
prisoner during the bombardment, then
| just beginning, and which lasted beyond
midnight. The doctor and he were per-
mltted to be together and but for their re-
stralnt they were treated with perfect cour-
| tesy. have never heard that either one
OF them ever bore the least personal re-
sentiment to their captors.
Frank Key watched as far as, in the
darkness of the night, was possible the
bombardment of the fort; but DIR. Beanes,

through the memorable night his oft,re-
peated question touched his young friend
most deeply. "Is the flag yet fying?"
| were the words with which the old man
constantly appealed to him and when at
earliest dawn it was seen that the flag cid
indeed still wave over McHenry on scrap
of paper torn from his pocket notebook
young Key wrote the words of the "Star.
spangled Banner" and gave them to his
old friend.
Later on, when first published, they
were dedicated-as indeed seemed appto-
priate--to DR.. Beanes. The following
morning both gentlemen were put ashore
and returned to their homes.
1t is hardly necessary to say that from
this adventure DR.. Beanes learned to re
strict his love of entertaining, to some ex
tent, to friends, and at any rate not t.
extend hospitality to British officers unit
peace should be declared, however de
lightful as s'dinner companions they nigh
be. His experience was, as long as h
lived, the theme of many Jest, which b
always seemed to relish heartily.

AN ACUTE ADVERTISER.
Sets the Press of Australia Directing
and Has an Issue of Post Cards
Withdrawn.

One of the clerks of the City delivery
department at the main postoffice has a
renny postal card of Australia which is
worth a half crown though it was issued
less than three months ago. It's extreme
value is due to the fact that the entire
issue of many millions was suppressed be-
action was taken in difference to the OBJ
iections of the press.
The post cards were not immoral The
objection was wholly a matter of esthet-
icism. The entire public was shocked by
the progressiveness of the Antipodean adj
vertiser.
A man with the inventive faculty largely
developed offered to supply the province
of Victoria with all the necessary postal
cards, free of cost, On condition that he be
allowed the space OF about one and half
inches on one side for advertising. This
meant a saving of many thousand dollars
to the Government and the offer was ac-
cepted.
The result was that when the postal
cards appeared they looked as if the Gov
ernment ran grocery. The stamp was
hardly visible in contrast with the heavy
blue ink in an ad of some "pure American
leaf" chewing tobacco and somebody
else's lager beer. The effect can be under
stood from the following note received
here few days since on one of the OBJ
jectionable cards:
MELBOURNE, Nov. 2, 1895.
Dear -: This post card was issued less than
q month ago and caused such howl that they
were withdrawn this week, and are now worth
sixpence and will probably soon be worth a
half crown. You may find it useful for your
collection. -
This is only one instance of the progress
siveness of Australian advertisers. Not
long ago series of stamps We're issued
and sent an extra time through the
presses, so that when letter writer picked
up stamp to lick it his eyes fell on "Use
Somebody's pickles. They are the best. y
The idea of the advertising postal card
is said to have originated with ex-Post-
master General Wanamaker.

Mr. MURPHY OF SALEM,
The Bank Defaulter From Massa.
chusetts Identified in the
Prison.
City Marshal Hart Of the Eastern City
Will Come to Take Him !.
Back.

1t is now considered almost certain that
Private Detective Chappelle made no mis-
take in arresting the man on Friday after
noon ON suspicion of being Clarence Muir
ply, who stole 100000 from the Salem
(Mass. Savings Bank.
Yesterday morning John D. Eaton of
410 Van Ness avenue visited the Citv
Prison. He formerly lived in Salem and
was member of the Board of Aldermen.
He had known Murphy from his child
hood, and after studying the appearance
of the prisoner for few minutes he ex-
pressed the opinion that the man was
Murphy.
s'1t is seven years since / left Salem,''
| said Mr.. Eaton, land, Of course, seven
years makes some change in mans ap-
earance. When last saw Murphy he
was boyish in appearance and the beard
he now wears makes him look decidedly
older. 1t was my first impression that
Murphy was not as tail as the prisoner,
but I. must be mistaken, for see the de-
scription sent out by City Marshal Hart,
an old friend of mine, gives Murphy's s
height as feet IL inches, which taliies
with the height of the prisoner.
LAS I remember the case, the bank lost
100000 through Treasurer Simons and
Murphy. Simons died after the discovery
of the shortage by his own hand, as every
one believed. The bank never recovered a
dollar. Murphy's escape was most SEN
sational one."
The police received dispatch yesterday
that John w. Hart, City Marshal of
Salem, would start on Monday to take
back the prisoner. and asking that he be
held pending his arrival.
Another man, who did not want his
name mentioned, saw Murphy in the
prison and asserted that he was the man.
Murphy and his wife had lived with him
in Alameda, and he knew ne was bank
defaulter from the East.
Murphy is as silent as a clam. He posi-
lively refuses to make any statement, and
answers any question by the reply, 81

his gait yesterday from the effect of his
Jump out of the window of the detectives
room. Policeman Brophy, who overlook
the fugitive, was the recipient of many
compliments yesterday. He is bright
young patrolman and has already an en-
viable record. 1t is argued that he should
be entitled to a portion of the reward
offered for Murphy's capture, as if it had
| not been for him the probability is that
Murphy would have effected his escape.

and he was the only gentleman I ever
knew who invariably wore ruf1ed shirts
The doctors hospitality was, perhaps,
the best known, as it is to-day the best re-
membered, of his traits. Even in those
days when hospitality was-especially in
Maryland and Vlrginia-so marked a char
acteristic OF the people, DIR. Beanes was
considered remarkable for the heartiness
of the welcome which he extended to
strangers as we'll as friends. A doubt was
often merrily expressed by his intimate
friends whether if his Satanic Majesty him.
self had presented himself at his door the
old gentleman might not have asked him
to walk in and rest and take a glass of
wine. They entertained, however, no
slightest doubt that had the fiend proved
a genial and gentle manly parsonage DIR.
Beanes would have joined in the proffered
refreshment, would have chatted and joked
and might SO far have forgotten himself as
to invite him to call again.
Beyond question DIR. Beanes loved the
land of his birth. There are instances in
his life which evidenced this fact. Yet it
was quite impossible for him to be any,
thing but courteous and hospitable to the
officers of the British vessels lying at
anchor in the river near the family planta-
ton whenever they came on shore. They
were gentlemen, they were genial COM
panions; they liked joke, enjoved good
doctors rich dinners and fine old wines
and in spite of such trides as differences OF
political opinions and existing warfare be-
tween their respective countries the old
man liked and cordially entertained them.
1t came to pass one afternoon - the
memorable 14th of September, 1S14-that a
party of officers from Admiral Cockbu- s
ships, then lying at the mouth of the
Petuxent River, whose waters washed the
shore of the BeaneS family plantation
were dining with the doctor.
Over their wine these gentlemen fingered
longer than usual, and must have INDUCED
rather freely and talked somewhat reck.
lessly. They were aware that the bompard-
ment of Fort McHenry was decided on for
that very night, and after leaving DIR.
Beanes' house to return to the ship it
occurred to them that they had very
nearly if not quite, betrayed what was to

INTERESTING STORY OF A FAMOUS Song.


There have appeared during the last few
years in various periodicals and daily
papers articles purporting to give an abso-
lutely true account of the circumstances
under which the words of the "Star-
spangled Banner were written and the
occurrences which led to their compost
,tion by young Francis Scott Key of Mary
land, says K D. Lawrence of Baltimore in
the New York Post. Each of these articles
has been more or less correct in its state
ments, the best of them having appeared
the Youths Companion several years ago.
No one of them, however, gives the story
in it's entirety as it is held in the two fam
lilies by whom it is treasured with pardon
able pride, as linking their names with the
far-off past of their couniry's struggle for
independence and with the composition of
what may be called her National song.
AS direct descendant of the family to a
member Of which the song was dedicated
by Francis Key, 1 have had the story told
me many times by those who knew well
and delighted in relating every incident of
it; besides which possess family papers
and letters giving many little items, in
teresting and amusing, connected with it.
| which have certainly never been pub
liShed.
There resided in Upper Marlboroueb
Prince Georges County, Nd, in the early
part of this century an old gentleman-a
physician-Dr. William Beanes. He was
! a member of one of the oldest families in
Maryland, a family whose estate was held
under deed Of gift from Lord Baltimore in
1904. That deed-a quaint old paper-is
still in existence. DR.. Beanes was a man
known throughout his State for his ster-
ling qualities and large-hearted hospitality.

The large percentage of salt in the Great
Salt Lake prevents its waters from ever
freezing over, and yet a curious incident
was related to me of how small pleasure
steamer got icebound a dozen years ago off
the east end of Antelope Island. My in
formant was the captain of the cattle-boat
that makes irregular trips back and forth
TO carry stock to and from this largest OF

as nearly as possible in his own words:

becalmed off North Antelope. We
steamed out to see, an found sheep-boat

three men aboard an 200 sheep, an they'd
ben out ten days an he'd no food an
scarcely any water left. We give 'em a
fair divide O. the grub aboard the steamer,
an taxing 'em in tow, made our way out
in the main body o. the lake, where We
left 'em close in to Darlington. 1t was
getting late when we started back, an Just

ourselves in a stream of ice which
had come down from the swollen
rivers that empty into the lake hereabout.
At first it was only provoking to be him
