him on board his flagship. Francis
Scott Key, Il resident of Georgetown,
and well known for his genialitv and
affable manner, was sought out and
sent to solicit the release of DR..
Beanes. Accompanied by John S.
Skinner, a citizen of Baltimore, he
bravely sailed out under the frown-
ing guns of the British men-of war
with flag of truce flying at his
masthead. The enemy's ships were
about to attack the city. and while
the British admiral agreed to release
Beanes, he refused to do so until
morning. They were placed on board
the Surprise and when the fleet went
up Patapsco bay they were sent back
to their own vessel under guard of
marines. Their boat was anchored
within sight of Fort McHenry, and
from it's deck the three friends
could see the fierce bombardment of
the fort, which filled all the night
with its lurid flame and terrible roar.
The uncertainty of the hour anxiety
as to the fate of the fort, and
whether it had surrendered or not,

Husbands will wipe the dishes

In this city are two large musical

There are exceptions, however, and
these exceptions are easily found at
examination time; they carry off the

of one of the richest gold mines in
Colorado, arranged for the purchase
of more than 1000 acres of land on
the northwest side of the city, near
what is now Fullerton and Fortieth
avenues. Upon this land he began
the erection of a city that was tic
rival anything in the world in a man
ufacturing way. Great factory build
ings of brick and stone were erected.
Beside them he built model homes
for the worllmen. One plant began
operations and stores were opened to
provide the worllmen with commodi-
ties; real estate men bought heavily
of such land as had not been secured
by Pennock, and the boom was on.
1t was a glorious dream while it
lasted, but there came an awakening.
The gold in the Colorado mine gave
out; one factory in operation burned;
the people were without employment
and moved away: the stores were
without customers and closed up,
and to-day all that remains of this
dream are a few dilapidatel h uses,
a number of crumbling walls and the
name of "Pennock" on the railway
station. Even the people of the
neighborhood know not how the
name of the stat on was aee uired.
The fall brought financial ruin to
many men, but those who We're able
to hold on to the land icy had pur-
chased and have waited for the city
to grow have Jared better, for the
city has grown out to meet them and
passed beyond, leaving the ruins of
