Mount Airy,
The Colonial Home Of the
CalVcrtS.

The halo of pleasant memories that
surrounds so many of the old Mary
land homes is nowhere brighter than
at Mt. Airy, the seat of the elder branch
of the Calvert family. Built before
the Revolution, for 4 century it was
the scene of a beautiful home life and
of 4 charming hospitality; but when
the Civil War was ended, its present
mistress found her fortune so impaired
that she resolved to close the doors
that had always stood SO widely open,
and thcnceforth to welcome only her
nearest relatives. Mount Airy is Il
mere shadow of what it was, but there
yet remains so much that is suggestive
OF its past that visit to the old place
is still a pleasure, though one tinged
with sadness. Many of the grand old
trees have fallen; the house itself is
only saved from the unlovcliness of
dilapidation by the friendly arms of
the embracing ivy.
The history OF the Calvert family is
too we'll known to be repeated here;
hit would recall the fact that in
about lI40, Charles Calvert, the fifth
Lord Baltimore and proprietary of the
province OF Maryland sent Il son to
this country from England in the
charge OF Il governor and bestowed
upon him wealth and offices and honors
The name Of the boys mother was not
known. but Lord Baltimore once wrote
to his son that she WAS too ,Jtrnt "A lady
to be named in writing. and that not
until lis return tn ENG l:.n,i could the
secret OF Ills birth be c,niil,rl to him
This mystery connected with the par
cntHgc of Benedict Calvert. the builder
| Of Mount Airy, lends romantic inter
est t" the place from the beginning Of
its history, and the Interest is intcnsi-
fled hy the Smpposition that his mother
WAS :: daughter OF George the Second
Of England.
Not long before the commencement
Of the troubles which eliminated in the
American Revolution. Mr.. Calvert,
who was then living in Annapolis, pur-
chased the Mount Airy property-a
tract consisting of ten thousand acres
in Prince Georges county. about foGr
teen miles from the pr, sent site of the
national capital-and intended to build
upon it Il house suited to a man of his
position, but the breaking Off of the
colonies from the mother country pre-
vented him from carrying out the plan,
and the bricks imported for his ser
wants quarters were destined to be
used for the family domicilc Bcnc-
! diet Calvert was already married when
, he built Mount Airy, and there is Il
I charming story that when he wished
| to take unto himself wife, he wrote
for his fathers permission without Civ
inc thc nam" OF the lady Of his choice.
Lord Baltimore answered that there
was only one wp;nan he knew Of in

to belong rather to far off past than
to our own time.
In sense the hand of time seems to
have remained motionleSs at Mount
Airy for a century. 1t has pointed to
no hours Of progress. and though the
very weight of its cruel pressure has,
necessarily, done much injury, | know
of no home in this country where
there is in the laily life so much to
connect one with the past and so little
to keep one in touch with the present.
In beautiful oak grove back of the
old house the members Of the Calvert
family are laid at rest Here, besides
many Of Older generations. ten of the
twelve children Of Henry Edward Cal
vert a.d Elizabeth Biscoc are buried
under thc shadow of the marble image
of Faith which rises above their par
ents' graves. DyLANY HUNTER

principles of the people.

Of the condemned man. lido not think
any of the followers of Jesus are now
preaching his doctrines. If they are,
it certainly attracts no attention.
''Briehy that is the whole case
am convinced of the innocence OF the
man. He was uniust!y condemned.
and we are confronted with a judicial
error. Would it be equitable to revise
the case? Yes. Would it lie wise?
No. In this unhappy affair a great
many persons are involved. For the
most part they were guilty only Of
hasty judgment and religious prejudice
The fanatics themselves in demanding
the death of Jesus merely followed a
principle they believed to be true.
''From all points of view it were bet
ter that the matter rest where it is.
Let the Jews continue to think Jesus
was punished for crime against the
State. A revival of the case would
not restore him to life, and it would
ruin number of prominent citizens
and high functionaries. 1t would dis
grace the Judges who decided too hasti-
ly; the priests, who sanctioned the ex-
ecution; and the directors of public
opinion, who deceived the people"

A CARNIVAL OF INSANITY.
Three Commitments From This
 County Yesterday.

A wave of insanity rolled into PhOe nix yesterday and when it receded it left three victims in the county jail All were examined in probate court and were committed to the asylum The first was Ed B. Cutler, the har- ness maker, who tried Intellectually to commit suicide at the Star lodging house on Tuesday night, and renewed operationsy esterday morning by try ing to derail a trolley car by throwing himself in front of it.
 The jail officials had hardly got Cut Ter back into jail before word came that there was another crazy man running at large in the neighborhood of the "Y," west of town. Two or three officers went out and brought him back. He was found entirely naked, and defied capture. When the officers approached him he got down on all fours, initiated the ba-a-ing of.a sheep, and as they got nearer he snapped at them like dog. Some Mexicans came along, and riatas having been procured he was roped and tied. He fought des- perately. Mexican brought a pair of oYeralls which were put on him with great difficulty. At last he was put into a wagon held by four men, He was made doubly secure by Captain Hi Mcdonald sitting on him, and in that fashion he was brought to jail. Later in the day he talked a little and said his name was Manuel DeValle, but nothing more could belearned of him. He was first seen by Supervisor Norton thirty miles north of the city He had stopped to rest his horse and the Mexican passed him at a rapid gait. He was carrying a bundle ot blankets and appeared to be suffering for water. MT. Norton offered him Nome, but he refused and came on south. MT. Norton followed along ard after awhile came to pile of blanket; which the Mexican had thrown away
 Then he began to divest himself ot
 his clothing. first his hat. then his
 blouse, his shirt, and finally
 his trousers He was adjusting
 himself to climatic conditions as ht
 travelled southwark If he had gone
 on to Yuma he would have doubles:
 skinned himself. He said at the jai
 that he had money. When they asked
 Where It was he replied in his ''b' eeche'
 pocket, but that didn't afford mucl
 o1 clue, for those garments lie some
 where on a wide expanse of desert DeValle. if that is his name, is be heved to be a sheep herSer. Ina

belief is based on his ha-a-ing, to- gether with the well known circum- stance that no occupation is such prolific cause of insanity as the lone vigil of weeks on the desert with no other companions than several thou sand sheep.
 The third and last victim was w. H. Seamsns, arrested on the complaint of his roommate, w N. White. Seamans is quite we'll known in this vicinity. He came to Phoenix two years ago for his health. More than year ago he associated himself in the gardening business with Charles A. Rohr, the school teacher, who was drowned in the Salt river last summer. After the death of Rohr, Seamans sold every thing in sight, notwithstanding little belonged to him, for it had been Rohr's sole prcpa::y ard had been sold by the administ. ator of his estate, Dr. Wilbur Perhaps the fear of a prose cution worried Seanans. but there were ether provocatives to insanity. He was in i'll health and got into the habit Of reading books which were too deep for him. He made a special study of Christian science and at the same time undertook the investiga- tion of a wide variety of religious sys- tems. including the Salvation Army. His roommate noticed that he was un- balanced several days ago. but his first serious outbreak occurred On Tuesday night. He caught Salvati on Army girl by the arm as she was going home and tried to draw her away from the protection Of her brother. Seamans remembered that at h's ey- animation and hid his face for shame At times his story was coherent. at other times disjointed and irrelevant He said that his home was at Barnes vile Belmont county, O.. where he had a sister residing His mother. who lives in the same county, is a daughter of Elijah Pickering who years ago was prominent member of the Society of Friends. All his rela- tives belong to the society, and judg- ing from peculiarity of dress he was also a member.
 So it never rains but it pours in the probate judges office, three insane cases yesterday and four applications for marriage licenses the day before
