A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.

The concert given in the Assembly
Rooms of the Masonic Temple, Bel Air,
on Wednesday evening was ofan interest
ing and varied nature. The programme
consisted of two parts in each of which
the different participants acquitted them-
selves very creditably. Theinstrumental
music was under the direction of Miss
Bessie Cover. Mr.. Charles A. Mccain,
of Baltimore, scored quite hit with his
sentimental and rag-time musical selec-
tons. Vocal music was also rendered by
Misses Jessie Rockford and Helen Williams.
Miss Eva Hopkins also played an instru-
mental solo. The principal feature ofthe
evening was the selections from BESIDE
the Bonny Briar Bush" and Paul Law
renee Dunbar" by County School Exaini-
ner T. c. Galbreath. His renditions were
excellent and his Interpretation of the
Scotch dialect deserves special mention
as this is considered one of the most diff
cult even by professional readers. The
Hall was we'll filled and the affair was a
success in every way.

ances who were shocked by her accident.

family were Immediately summoned and
are constantly by her side. The last re-
ports say that she is improving and with
the skilltul medical attention that she has

was a wind splitter.
Hog killing is the order of the day, and
some fine porkers are having the hair
scraped off of them. The Messrs. Lay, on
Swan Quarter Farm, took the rag of

dred pounds. Our ladies are busy swop-

made the best.
The recent cold snap froze over the Sus-
quehanna flats, which drove the ducks
into our narrow waters. For a day or
two there was some fine shooting, liken
unto the days of yore, and a number OF
the almost extinct canvas-backs were
killed. They are now as much of a rarity
as SHOW storm in Rome. Red heads
are worth $3.50 a pair and canvas-backs
$3.50. What n big living our daddies use

Red heads were as commonin those days
as mallards. They would not shoot at
anything but canvas-backs, because they
were here and as thick as hail, and the

The Kings Carnival Company.

The big New York Theatre success
"The Kings Carnival" which opens al
the Academy of Music. Baltimore, Mon
day, after an eight months run, is one o
the liveliest and best creations of Sydney
Rosenfeld, while the music is by A Bald
win Sloane.
The story of the play is of the broad
burlesque type, and is consistent, SO fal
as consistency can obtain, in anything SC
dramatically extravagant. Here and
there can be detected travesties of current
popular plays: 'In the Palace of the
King" "Under Two Flags" when
Knighthood was in Flower" "The
Climbers" and others ofdramatic action,
while it progresses in its own hilarious
way, and the characters do strange deeds
and fulfill strange missions, with the
same singleness of purpose that guide
real people in real plays.
Marie Dressler, Frank Doane, Laura
Burt, Amelia Summerville, Dan McAvoy,
Mabel Gilman, Junie McCree, Nina Far
rington, Emma Carus, Louis Harrison,
and the others in the great cast have
made individual hits in New York.
The company which presents the carni-
val consists of one hundred and fifty
people, and is the original one.

ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY,

The first National Bank of Aberdeen
was broken into at an early hour last
Tuesday morning. The burglars effected
an entrance with crow bars and sledge
which they had stolen from the black.
smith shop of Mr.. William A. Vogts.
They broke off the combination knob of
the vault with blacksmith sledge and
it is supposed put a cartridge containing
some explosive in the hole. When it was
exploded a nut was blown out which
passed through the counter screen and
cut a small hole in the plate glass
window of the bank The hands of the
clock, which had stopped, indicated the
time at 22O, at which time the explosion
must have occurred. The robbers got no
fur Their and it is supposed that they must
have been frightened off. Inside the vault
is the money chest, which is protected by
a screw door and time lock. This would
have caused them considerable trouble
before they could have reached the
money. In one of safe deposit boxes
postmaster George H. WINS had stored
about $500 worth of stamps. 1t look:
as if the work was that of amateurs as
the heavy storm prevented the noise o
the blowing open of the safe from being
heard any distance, and there seems tc
be no reason why they stopped except
their discovery of the complex charactel
of the money vault. There is not thu
slightest clew to the attempted robbers

For some weeks past the contest for
Speakership of the next House of Dele
gates has been earnestly discussedin poll

that MIR. Noble L. Mitchell, of Hartford,
was the logical choice for the place. At
the extra session of 1901 he could have
easily won the coveted prize had he an
tagonized Mr.. Ferdinand c. Latrobe, of
Baltimore City. He has been frequently
called to the chair during the past sessions
of which he has been member and im-
pressed everyone with his knowledge of
parliamentary law and impartial ruling.
Immediately after the election his name
was brought to the front and if he wins
this fight which now seems certain, it

will be entirely OF. MS individual popular
ity and he will enter upon the duties OF
the office with no ENHANCEMENT whatever
in the way ofpromises. In the beginning
he made the frank statement that he
would rather not have the position than
to be bound up by any anti-election
pledges. His chief opponent is Mr.. Isaac
Lobe Straus, of Baltimore City, most
excellent young man in every particular.
He possesses the ability of leader and
| will be able to do effective work, on the
floor, for his party. In speaking of the
contest, Wednesdays Baltimore Ameri-
can has the following to say;
at was authoritatively stated yester-
day that Mr.. Noble l.. Mitchell, of Har-
ford county, is the tavorite of the Demo-
cratic State leaders for Speaker of the in
coming House of Delegates. This means
that Mr.. Mitchell will be selected Speaker.
Mr.. Isaac Lobe Straus, of this city,
however, has not abandoned hope of
winning out. On the contrary. he is very
confident, and says that the Speaker will
not be selected until the roll-call in the
Democratic caucus shows a majority. In
other words, Mr.. Straus will not accept
defeat until the caucus decides the ques-
ton, and will not step aside.
The Democratic State leaders are much
attached to Mr.. Straus and say that if
the city delegation had a majority of
Democratic members his chances of cleo
ton would increased. 1t is hardly fair,
they say, to ask the counties to support
him in view of the fact that the counties
and not the city elected the Democratic
majority of the House. In addition,
they say that Mr.. Mitchell is one of the
few members of the last House reelected
that this will be his fourth term in the
House; that he deserves the honor; that
he is fully qualified and eminently fitted
for the position, having often occupied
the chair in the House. He has been one
of the hardest working and most COIL
scientious members of the House in recent
years.
Mr.. Straus' contest for the speakership
is preliminary in his candidacy next year
for the Democratic nomination for Con-
gress in the Second district. 1t is stated
that one of the reasons which prompted
him to accept a nomination for the
House was to go into training for the
congressional nomination"
