The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1900-05-24

George Anderson, who lives out on
the Calumet road, is the possessor OF
some valuable old books that would
make glad the heart of the bibliophile.
Among mis- literary treasures, he has
an old Maryland newspal er published on
Friday, August 20, 1913, in the city OF
Baltimore, and called the Maryland
and Baltimore Journal and Advertiser.
The paper has been in the ownership OF
the Anderson family for the past seven
ty-five years, and it is priced as heir
loom. 1t is in excellent state of preser-
walton, and it is readily seen that in the
days when George Washington flourish
and was starting to make world history,
and to give form and vitality to a new
nation, that they printed to perpetuate
what they wrote. The paper is quarto
size, with wide columns and above each
item is one line cap head. 1t need
hardly be said that in those days current
news as is demanded now, is entirely ig-
nored, and that instead the readers are
RECALLED with learned dispositions on
philosophy, letters and kindred subjects,
dealing with literature and science.
There is London letter, briefly outlin-
ing parliamentary subjects, when the
eloquent Chatham swayed his compeers
by the elegance Of his diction and the
incisiveness of his thoughts. An annony
nous writer contributes protest to the
governor on the state of affairs in Mary
land and the method Of presenting his
complaint is so dissimilar from the pro-
cess of today, that the contrast is strik-
ing. indeed He writes with all the
grace of the classic period and with such
courtesy that one wonders at the reading
Some old colonist sent letter to the
paper to be published and the following
is the way it begins

CONCERT A SUCCESS.
High School Boys Get Substantial
Reward for Efforts.
THE ARTISTS LITERALLY APPLAUDED.
Miss Kathrine Graham's Recitation the Hit
of the Evening" large Number of Peo-
pie Attend the Artistic Enter.
taiuH1eut

1t was generally conceded by those
who attended the concert given by the
North Side High School last Thursday
night in the Opera House that it was a
success from an artistic view point, and
that those who attended il were well re-
paid and received full value for their
money. The boys are happy in the
knowledge that their efforts were fruit
full in the substantial as well as the ar
tistic, and quite little money az a re-
snlt Of the entertainment has been hand
ed over 10 the treasurer Of the Athletic
association.
Among the artists who entertained the
audience none was more warmlyapplaud-
ed than Miss Kathrine Graham, who
recited two Of Paul Dunbar's poems
with much feeling and genuine appre-
citation Of the poets spirit. That her
hearers were Qratifed with her interpre-
tation, was demonstrated by the enthr-
siastic encore to which she charmingly
responded Her reading from the Little
Minister was good
1t would be far better if Miss Bessie
Lon Daggett would cut out the prelimi-
nary explanation to her songs. Her sing
ing is all one can desire. She has a
sweet soprano voice and sings with real
" fine expression, but the explanation
before her songs presumes ignorance on
the part Of her auditors Miss Daggett
was loudly applauded ut the conclusion
Of both her songs and she gracefully re-
sponded with an encore.
Clarence f. Sheppard il a pianist o.
more than ordinary skill His rendition
Of classic selections was exceedingly
fine and that he was fully appreciated,
was made known TO him by the feryor
with which the crowd cheered him at
the end Of each number. In execution
Mr. Sheppard has remarkable command
Of the keys and is able TO control them
with such absolute finesse that the instru-
mcnt is completely under his mastery.
Nothing but good words can be said

Appleton to take the tenor songs He

The Property of George Anderson

MR.. GODDARD:
Whenever you publish the Maryland Jour
nal etc. should be obliged to you, if you would
give the following place therein.
Such is the way of the ancient times.
To give some idea of those ever-to-be
forgotten days of old the following ad-
vertisement is reproduced from the Jour
nal.
TEN POUNDS REWARD.
Ran away, on the sixth of July last,
from the subscriber, living in Bonds
forest, within eight miles of Joppa, in
Baltimore county, an Irish servant man,
named Owen Mccarthy, about forty five
years old, feet 8 inches high, of a
swarthy complexion has long black hair,
which is growing little grey, and a re-
markable scar under the right eye He
had on and took with him, when he
went away, a short brown coat. made of
country manufactured cloth, lined with
red flannel, with metal buttons, ozna-
briggs trousers, patched on both knees, a
white shirt and a pair Of old shoes, and
an old hat. He was soldier in some
part of America about the time of Brad
docks defeat, and can give good de-
scription of the country. Whoever takes
up the said servant, and brings him to
Alexander Cowen, or John Clayton,
merchants in Joppa, or to the subscriber,
if he is taken in the county, shall receive
five pounds, aud if out of the county the
above mentioned ten pounds, as re-
ward and a consideration for his trouble

notes in The Journal, among them no.
