Mr.. Melbourne MacDowell, husband and
leading man to Miss Fanny Davenport, is
sharing the honors with the famous act
ress. Life was not always the soft snap
with this actor that it is to-day. In his
younger days Mr. Mcdowell knocked
about the world and encountered his full
share of hard knocks. He served an APP
premiership before the mast, and in fact,
had his full experience as a plain, every
day sailor in the merchant marine service.
By patient efforts the young sailor grad
uated from the forecastle to the cabin, and
when he retired from the sea there was
snugly tucked away in his trappings an
officers commission. 1t was, perhaps, this
rugged life that gave the actor the sinewy
figure which aroused so much admiration
throughout the week. 1t is a pleasure to
note that with all the admira ton heaped
upon him Mr. Mcdowell maintains his
equilibrium most sensbly. His early life
upon the sea is also not forgotten by the
actor, and every summer finds him at
Melbourne Hall, in South Duxbury, Mass,
his summer home, overlooking the Dux-
bury Bay, where Mr.. Mcdowell has a
veritable feet of yachts. He is the cham
pion amateur yachtsman of that vicinity,
and last summer won the grand prize in
the regatta with his yacht, the Rooster
His favorite boat, however, is the Fanny
D., named of course, in honor of his tall
ented wife. He can spin sea yarns by the
hour, and throws as much spirit ia the
telling of them as he does into Scarpia,
Loris or Marc Antony.

manufacturer Of the Clifford plano, is
in the city. as the guest Of Mr.. L. II.
Clement, manager OF the F. ". Banner
Co.
Mr.. Chickering has visited several
different towns In West Virginia, and
says he Is much impressed with the re-
sources OF the state, many OF which he
realizes are only In the first stages OF
development. AS to the outlook for
business. Mr.. Chicke-ing thinks 1t VERY
bright. He reasons that as the piano Is
more or less a luxury and the demand
Is increasing, the buying, ability of the
purchaser must certainly have increas-
ed. He states that the rapidly ~increas-
ing demand for the Clifford piano he
attributed In part TO the increasing
prosperity, as well as to the great pop
ularity OF the instrument, and added
that although the demand for the past
two or three years has been largely for
cheap pianos, that the tendency now
IA towards and for a better class OF
instruments, which would be beneficial
to instruments built on such high grade
lines as the Clifford. This he considers
will not only result favorably for the
manufacturer. but for the piano buyers.
Mr.. Chickering returned to Chicago last
night, taking with him Il large order
from the T. W. Banner Co. for pianos,
TO be especially selected for the OPEN
