AMERICAN sHAMROCKS.
Ireland's Beloved Flower Found In Many
States of the Union.

Ireland's Beloved Flower Found In Many
States of the Union.
Few people, comparatively speak
ing, are aware that the shamrock, Ire
lands national emblem, grows in many
parts of the United States" said Mich
ael Cavanaugh Of Boston during a re-
cent visit to Washington.
/ / was out walking in the northwest
section of Washington yesterday, and
saw loads of shamrock in one Of the
parks. It is identically. the same as
that which fiourishes ON the soil OF
Erin. A good many people confuse
the shamrock with clover, which it re-
sembles considerably, but the shamrock
can be always told from the other by
it's small yellow blossoms, exactly like
a strawberry bloom. This blossom puts
forth five little yellow leaves. Now the
blossom of the clover is either red or
white, and it is larger and shaped diff
ferently. " *''r p
"The shamrock has three. leaves
which, in most instances, are perfect
in their heart shape, though not al
ways so, and it grows luxuriantly in
limestone regions. The tradition that
st. Patrick explained the mystery OF
the Trinity by the little flower is the
common explanation Of it's adoption
as Ireland's most cherished emblem. -

cHAs. B. HUNTER.
Prominent Contractor and Builder

Perhaps no man in Carroll county has
pushed more rapidly to the front rank Of
any city enterprising business men dur
ing the past ten years, than Charles b.
Hunter, carpenter and contractor, whose
name will probably go down to posterity
for contributing as much to Westminster S
architectural beauty, as that of any other
citizen. Some of the handsomest houses
in the city and county bear the stamp of
his workmanship, and nobody can examine
them without feeling that he is an unusu-
ally capable builder With kind words
for his competitors, he commands their
respect as the the confidence of every
body else around him, maintaining friend
ly relations with all, while pursuing the
''even tenor of his way in the building
line. He was born here in 1868, and
passed through our leading schools in Car
roll, commencing work as carpenter in
1887, at which he continued until 1894,
Then he deemed it proper to mite ICON
tracing with earpenterinL, and has since
made the double WORK 50 successful, that
he feels sanguine Of promising results as
time advances Mr.. Hunter gives
special attention to jobbing, his shop being
located on Court street, near East Main
street Quite a number Of fraternal or
CARNATIONS claim his allegiance as mem
berthe Knights of Pythias, the indie

WILLIAM F. DERR.
AnUltra- Fashionable establishment
Head to Foot Out-Fitters-Ex-
elusive Styles in Dress Goods,
Wrans Millinery Shoes Etc.


In every city, large or small, there are
leaders in each branch of bushes. Some
men are born to success, but far greater
number must achieve it, must work for 1t.
and the man or men who possess enough
energy to acquire success are also those
who keep their wares and themselves
prominently before the public, who have
always believed in judicious use of prln-
ter s ink, realizing, as do all enterprising
business men everywhere, that advertising
marks out the high lnad to success.
Mr.. VIM F. Derr ~ "a particularly no
table example of this class of energetic bus
mess men. He has succeeded because he
earned success, has worked for it, and won
it by honesty, industry, brains and enter
prise Eighteen years ago, was formed
the nucleus to his present extensive dry
goods work, when he entered his father
establishment here to learn its varied de-
tails, then but a youth of fourteen years
of age, having been born at Baltimore in
1866, and schooled at our local academies.
He assumed control of his present business
at II West Main street in 1895, a bust
ness which has steadily advanced, until
now it requires every foot of space upon
three floors, in n neat and substantial
building, to conduct the work properly.
The stock carried is composed Of dry
goods, embracing the latest styles in for
eign and domestic dress goods of all prices
and qualities, the endless variety of arti-
cles which make up the term motions,
together with complete line of cloaks,
wraps and suits in the department of chill
dren' goods.
While visiting this extensive store, the
writer s attention was attracted to the i'm
mense variety of wooden blankets, quilts,
comforters, ETC., on shelves and counters,
which today are interesting sights for the
general public, since the sombre and chilly
winter time is fast approaching.
The millinery department is under the
charge of Miss Bessie Stone, a lady of ar
tistic tastes, whose skill in preparing head
gear embraces all that is fashionable. This
department employs six milliners, all Of
whom are adopts in the line, while no fewer
than eighteen clerks are employed on the
premises, attending to the wants of pa
irons and vying with one another in cour-
tesy and service.
Mr.. Derr is natural born business man,
whose experience of eighteen years has es
pecially fitted him for his dealing with the
public. Four times yearly he visits the
dry goods markets of New York, Philadel
phia, and the East, in quest of novelties
in his line. and once week-generally OF
Fridays may be seen in Baltimore in
specting what is fresh in the shape of DIR.
goods, ETC., and thus keeping abreast witt
the times. He is indeed one of our mos
popular citizens, being a member Of tn

Royal Arcanum, the Knights of Pythias
and Independent Order of Mechanics,
reliable, honorable, public spirited gentle
nan, good Aeighbor and kiad friend.

Our Eaioient Circuit Court clerk,

1t is pleasant in connection with the
history of this city, to record the fact that
its physicians have at all times been men
of worth, whose useful labors entitled them
to the respect and gratitude of the com
munity. Some have been called from ac-
tive practice to enter the political arena,
and serve their fellow citizens as legisla-
tors and statesmen; while the aid of others
has been enlisted in furthering enterprises
which give help to the workingman and
mechanic, and thus augment the city
welfare. Among this class are the Billings
lea Brothers, whose canning factory no
ticed in this edition, furnishes employment
to many persons all the year round, and
has been instrumental in developing West
minister s resources.
Dr. James Howell Billingsea clerk of
the Circuit Court Of Carroll county, was
born here in the 40's, and has spent his
life among US. = Deciding upon the prac-
tice of medicine as, his vocation, he pro-
ceeded to equip himself with the necessary
knowledge, and entered the. University of
Maryland which raner ainong the oldest
medical colleges inSthe United States.
There he graduated in 1861 and at once
returned hither to l4Asamesce hiJPractice,
which has since continued during ahirty-
four long years. Meanwhile his naml has,

REIFSNIDER 81 REIFSNIDER
A Representative Law Firm.

In none of the learned professions is
there greater need of ability than that of
law. Men may continue years in the
practice of it without attaining anything
more than a modicum of success, because
there is some element lacking in their per-
sonality which prevents their rising to fame
or popular recognition With others, how
ever, it is different; they gain renown from
the start by reason of their aptitude for the
calling and inherent worth.
A prominent firm of Westminster, where
both it's members were born, and who pos
scss an eirc eIenIeuIs novv'Sary 90 shrine tn
the legal profession, is that of Reifsnider

county. as well as one of its oldest law
yers, having been admitted to the Bar

he has practiced here, meanwhile rising
gradually to the front ranks of attorneys.
For time he was associated with Mr..
Chas. E. Fink, and also with his nephew,
Mr.. J. Milton Reifsnider, now State
Attorney of Carroll county, but of recent
years he has practiced in conjunction with
his son, Mr.. Charles T. Reifsnider, Jr.
The senior member of the firm was
educated at the schools of Carroll
county, at the Pennsylvania College,
Gettysburg, Pa, and at Franklin and
Marshall College, Lancaster, Pa, after
which he studied law under w. j. and c.
w. Ross, at Frederick, Nd, where he was
admitted to the Bar in 1861. Since then he
has achieved success in his chosen field, hav-
ing once been elected States Attorney for
this county. He has been long identified
with public enterprises and associations,
such as the Westminster Gaslight Co. and
the Masonic Order; and is counsel for
the First National Bank and the West
minister Savings Bank
His son, Charles 7. Reifsnider, Jr.,
after attending the Western Md College
for two years, was prepared at the Epis-
copal High School, Alexandria, for the
University of Virginia cat Charlottesville,
where he studied for two years; afterwards

versity of Maryland, FROM which he grad
