Ada Rehan and Otis Skinner.
Rare Combination of Dramatic Talent
in Shakespearean Plays.

The combination of Ada Rehan and
Otis Skinner for a limited seasons tour
In the presentation of a repertoire or
classical plays-plays, mayhap, in which
Miss Rehan and Mr.. Skinner have alike
won fame-has been an undertaking
which George c. Tyler, of Liebler *
Co, has long cherished, one which, at
times, seemed impossible OF accomplish
ment, but which he has persistentiy pur-
sued, despite all interruptions and. all
obstacles. no matter how formidable
they might be That he is now on
the eve of achieving his desires in this
regard is real cause for congratulation'
not only for Mr.. Tyler and Liebler &
Co., but for the public as well. for this
should prove no ordinary event in the
history OF the American stage.

DEATH OF DAVID ENGLE.
A Man Of Large Family Connection and .
Good Citizen

David Engle is dead, and was bur-
led in the New Germany cemetry on
the first day of February, 1903 The
funeral was solemn one largely at
tended by sympathizing friends and
neighbors. He was in his S3rd year.
Born in Somerset county, Pa, of
Adam Eagle, bat moved over into
Alleys y county, in his early years.
His wi was Lydia burst, daughter
of Christian burst, worthy citizen
in his day. She died some years ago.
They had a mum Der of children, still
living. David Engle for the most
of his life was a laboring man, of con-
siderable energy and descision.
When the Civil War came none
were more ready and willing to be a
volunteer for the sake of his country
than David. He enlisted at the first
opportunity; was a private in Com
pany D, 3rd Maryland Regiment, P.
H. b. and served his full three years
and something more, besides furnish
ing two willing young sons, who, like
their father, were good and faithful
soldiers. An incident comes to mind
worth relating. He was a member of
Capt. Ogle's Company, who made a
surrender of his command near More
field, W. Va, in the early part of the
war. Engle and his near friend and
comrade, Jerre burst, begged their
trembling captain for permission
to escape; it was given and the two
fearless soldiers swPm the South
Branch yith.all their accoutrements
in safety and made their escape to
the Union lines. The rest OF the COM
pany was surrendered and then pa
rolled by the Confederate enemy. The
two plucky soldiers returned to their
command after the the terms of the
parole had been complied with. Jer-
re died nearly 90 years ago, liked by
all. Engle was pensioner at SIG per
month, being increased to that sum
without even application. Several
years ago he became religious con-
vert and led life in strict conformity
with practical religion. David Engle
will be missed in many ways by not a
few people. Any little faults or errors
in his long life cannot now be seen or
remembered under the light of his
whole life. He was brother of Rev
Eli Engle, a man noted for his piety
and goodness in every way, and q
nephew of the late Samuel Engle, one
of Garrett county's best citizens.

STORY OF THE JOHN BROWN INSUR
REGION.
The February Number Book of the Royal
Blue" Presents a Most Remark
able Document.


There are many published accounts
Of the John Brown instruction at
Harper's Ferry, but the most interest
ing is probably that published in the
February number Book of the Roy
al Blue, - IN connection with the au-
thentIc dispatches and letters which
passed between the principals engage
ed in capt uring Brown.
The details, given step by step, the
unusual prominence of the men con-
nected with the suppression of the
insurrectiOn, and the personality Of
the correspondence, make most re-
markable document. The narrative
lis further intensified by old-time
photographs of Harper's Ferry show
ing the Z. S. Armory buildings as
they were at the time of the insur-
rection, also the same views taken
during the civil war, showing the de-
stroyed railroad bridge, and armory
buildings, and the remains of a pom
toon bridge across the Potomac River
Portraits of the men who were fore
most in the great tragedy are given,
including no less personages than
President Buchanan, Secretary of
War Floyd, Governor Wise of Virgin
ia, President Garrett of the b. & o.,
w. p. Smith, Master of Transports
tion of the b. & O., and Colonel Rob
ert +. Lee.
The picturesque village of Harper's
Ferry, thus brought into prominence
in 1859, and later racked and torn by
war, to-day peacefully guards the gap
in the Blue Ridge mountains, where
the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers
meet. The government armories and
rifle works have disappeared, and a
simple granite shaft marks the locat-
ion of John Browns Fort
The story is especially valuable to
schools and libraries for reference.
Single copies may be had for five
cents each, on application to D. b.
Martin, Manager Passenger Traffic,
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, Balti-
more. The annual subscription to
the magazine is but fifty cents, and
each number issued monthly contains
some special article of interest.
