"The Heart of Maryland"

Mr.. R. D. Mclean and Miss Odette
Tyler (Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Shepherd)
who are so well-known in Shepherds
town, their former home, last week
played the leading parts in David Be-
lasco's wartime drama, 1.-The Heart
of Maryland" in Washington City,
and this week present the same play
in Baltimore. The scenes of the play
are laid in the latter days of the Civil
War at Boonsboro, Maryland. While
the artillery and musketry of the op-
posing armies are laundering forth
their messages of death a sweet love
song is sung. Maryland Calvert ( Miss
Tyler)a lovely young Southern wo-
man, lives at the Lilacs, at Boons-
boro, and there is wooed and won by
Col. Alan Kendrick, dashing young
Federal officer, who had been quar-
tered at Boonsboro prior to the war.
When the struggle commences, the
young officer, continuing in the SER
vice of the Union, is discarded by his
sweetheart. His father, however, is
General Kendrick (Mr. McLean) in
the Confederate service. Colonel Ken
drick is taken prisoner while endeav-
oring to see his sweetheart, and is
brought before his father, who, though
overcome by his emotions, is forced
to hold his. son. Through a misap-
prehension he is charged by Mary
land with being spy. When the
identity of the man she has thus
charged is revealed to the young wo.
man, she prostrates herself before him,
asserting that she did not know, and
begs his forgiveness. As he is led
away, with the likelihood that bis
sweetheart may never see him again,
the full power of Miss Tyler's art is
manifest, and in her portrayal of the
agony and despair of hopeless wo-
man she touches every heart. At the
close of the second act her work is
thrillingly superb. Mr., Mclean, as
he parts from his son and sinks the
love of father in the devotion of
general to HIS duty, is powerful and
commanding figure, dignifed and at
times majestic.
General Kendrick is killed in battle,
and the strains of the funeral march as
he is borne to the grave give pathet-
ic touch. He is succeeded in CON-
mand by Colonel Thorpe, renegade
Union officer who has joined the Con-
federate army. Bearing grudge
against Alan, he brutally sentences
him to immediate execution. Mary
land finds way of escape for her
lover, and as he steals from his prison
in the old church, she climbs to the
belfry and swinging from the bell
prevents its ringing and giving an
alarm. Her lover gets safely away
and Alan subsequently returns to
Boonsboro at the head Of his regI-
ment, regcues Maryland from Thorpe,
gives him um-head court-martial,
and the curtain descends upon love
scene while the strains of Maryland,
My Maryland" ring in the ears OF
the departing audience.
The company presenting this play
is referred to as an all-star cast, but
Mr.. Mclean and Miss Tyler are so
superior in their parts they easily
outclass all the rest. They unques-
tionably deserve all the compliment
tary things that have been SAID about
them, for they are fine.

Who Does the Work, Anyhow ?

The editor of the REGISTER for
some months past has enjoyed the
beautiful song, Everybody Works
But Father" verse of which is as
follows:
Everybody works but father,
And he sits around all day,
With his feet in front of the fire,
Smoking his pipe Of clay.
Mother takes in washing,
So does sister Ann
Everybody works at our house
But our old man.
Knowing our taste for the classical,
friend from Park ersburg, who knows
whereof he writes, sends US this touch.
ing version:
Everybody works poor father,
He's the one they work;
Sue and Belle and Mother
Work him like a Turk"
Work him for new dresses,
Hats and all they can
Everybody up at our house,
Works our-old-man.
Another sympathizing friend from
Washington sends us still another
version which we presume expresses
his sentiments:
Everybody works but mother,
She gads around all day;
Goes TO women's meetings,
Takes in the matinee.
Father tolls and worries,
He has a good time-nit;
Everybody works at our house
But Ma-she's quit
We shall be pleased to have still
further additions to our collection
from our suffering friends.

Edward A. Colston's Barn Burned.

Last Sunday evening about FIVE
o'clock fire totally destroyed the large
bank barn, and most of its contents,
on the farm of Edward A. Colston,
about a mile west of Summit Point.
The loss is about $4,000, insurance
$4,000.
A small boy playing with matches
caused the big blaze. Frank Nc
Donald, a six.year-old boy who lives
on the Colston place, had been play
ing with matches in straw rick near
the barn. Mr.. Colston was in the
barn milking at the time, when the
boy approached him with the infor.
nation that the straw was afre. The
blaze had gained great Roadway and
it was then too late to check the pro-
gress of the flames, which swept every
thing before them.
Only two wagonloads of corn, which
were standing in the barn, were saved,
and these were gotten out with diff
Guilty. AS soon as the boy told him
that the straw was on fire, Mr.. Col
ston rushed into the burning building
in an attempt to save his property.
He found that he was too late, the en-
tire place being sea of angry, Kissing
fame. Seven hundred bushels of
wheat, forty barrels of corn, twenty
tons of hay, the straw rick and two
ricks of hay on the other side of the
barn were consumed, together with a
quantity of new harness and some
farming implements. The barn was
built two years ago last spring, and
was oDe of the largest and finest in
Jefferson county.

Indepeudent Order of Shield of Honor

At the annual session of the Su-
preme Lodge of the Shield of Honor
held IN June last at Atlantic City,
it was decided to tall 10 line with
other fraternal organizations by re-
adjusting the assessment rates. 9th
er laws were also made, laws that
created dissatisfaction among the
members at large. The West Vir-
GINA section Of the order called a
meeting of past masters in SePtem-
Der and after due consideration of
the trouble, decided to sever its con-
nection from the parent order and
form separate and independent or
ganization. Since that time active
preparations have been going on, and
Friday last a meeting was held In
Wheeling, when a permanent organl-
cation was formed, officers were elect
ed and new laws were adopted. The
old rate, that in effect prior to the
readjustment, was established, and
the obnoxious laws were abolished.
The new organization lie to be known
as the Independent Order Shield Of
Honor, and the home Office is to beIat
Wheeling, W. Va. -sS

very encouragingly to the officials,
and they are pleased with the future
outlook. All dissatisfied lodges are
invited to join with them in body,
whether from West Virginia or other
States, and they will be admitted on
same terms as the charter members.
Cliff City Lodge, our local lodge,
which is in very fourishing con-
dition, decided at regular session
held on the 26th of September to go
with the independent order. The
November assessment of this lodge
will bt sent to the new order, and
the December assessment will be
charged up to the members at the old
rate in effect before the readJustment.
D. S. Rentch represented Cliff City
Lodge at the permanent organization
and was made chairman of the COM
mittee on laws. There was a propo-
sitlon from dissatisfied lodges IN Bal
timore who desire to join in with the
West Virginia independents, and
doubtless satisfactory arrangements
will be made to all concerned
New officers of the Supreme Lodge
for the ensuing year were elected as
follows:

persons interested in real estate
whether now is not the time to buy.

left home, and cannot understand how he
spent nearly the whole amount in such
short time.

young men at the depot here the night he
got off the train that he was from North
CUMBERLAND county, Va, and the same being
made known through the papers brought
the Identification about.

san exhumed today and shipped to Balti-
more, thence to his home in Virginia.

NOT REGULATED BY LAW.
Commissioners Cannot Dictate in the
Naming of Apartment Houses.

There is no regulation in the manual OF
law, under which the District of Columbia
is governed TO restrict the naming OF
APARTMENT houses, the only possible point
the building regulations cover in this line
being that which relates to the numbering
of houses.
This is the gist of a reply dictated TO-DAY
by Commissioner Biddle, to letter re-
ceived in the mornings mail from Thomas
A. Dobyns. Mr.. Dobyns protested against
the apartment house now being erected on
Cincinnati street being known as Ihe
CEhbourne.
This is the name of my fat, 18th street
and Columbia road, and 1t has been known
by this name since it's erection (februarF,
1000" he said. 1T will cause no end OF
cor fusion, and do me a great INJURY In
business way he added.
Every apartment house in the city
might be given the same name, as far as
the Commissioners are concerned, an at
taohe of the engineering department SAID
nor could he think of any means by which
a name might be copyrighted or patented,
or otherwise held to his own uses by the
original claimant.
