Last Week of 1.-The Shepherd King"

The return engagement ofWright Lormer' :
big Biblical spectacle drama, The Shepherd
King" to the Academy of Music, Baltimore,
has been somewhat like the homecoming of
the Prodigal Son, so hearty has been its well
come.
Beginning with the first performance, a
special matinee Monday, the audiences that
have greeted the star and his play have been
immense and the predictions, based upon the
advance sale OF SEATS, to the effect that The
Shepherd King would break even its own
record during the second visit more
likely than ever to be fulfilled. The spcct acu-
lar beauty of the scenic production and the
dramatic strength of the play itself seem to
have made powerful appeal in Baltimore
and vicinity, and one that has touched all
classes. The audiences that have filled the
Academy thus far during this engagement are
of a more cosmopolitan nature than those
which graCed Mr. Lorimers first visit In
fact the regular thcatregoers are now in the
minority, and at least a good half of the
people who witness each performance of
that class that does not attend the theatre at
all unless they offered inducements suffi-
ccnt to Justify their conduct. So far as
known not one of those who have no belief in
the theatre as a place of paStimc, but who
have been persuaded to see The Shepherd
King" has felt anything but great satisfac-
ton in having done SO.
The theatre parties that have come from
various points in the State OF Maryland and
from the southern part of Pennsylvania have
apparently been very we'll pleased and have
gone home feeling that the pleasure given
them by the play was entirely com mcnsuratc
with their expended money and energy.

WILLIAM G. PRITCHARD.
DEATH OF MR.. c. W. PROCTOR.

Mr. Charles Wesley Proctor, one of the
best known residents of this county, died
at his home, in Bel Air. on Friday morn
ing He was taken sick on November
9th, and from the first but little hope was
entertained for his recovery. Mr.. Proc
tor was in his 61st year, and at one time
was engaged in the mercantile business in
this county. He was also a builder and
contractor and erected a number ofschool
houses and other public buildings in Har-
ford. In 1888 he was elected Clerk of
the County Commissioners and at the
same time discharged the duties of treas
urer. In his ten years of public service he
filled both positions in highly acceptable
manner, and his knowledge of the county's
needs was not surpassed by any one. In
1891 he was appointed a gauger by In
ternal Revenue Collector Murray Vandi-
yer, which position he held at the time of
his death. He was recognized by the
different chiefs of the office as being
most efficient official, and, although
Democrat in politics, was held in office by
the two Republican collectors that have
succeeded Mr.. Vandiver. Mr.. Proctor
never sought an elective office, although
in recent years he has been frequently ap-
preached by prominent men of both par
ties asking him to become candidate for
County Commissioner.
He is survived by widow, who was
Miss S. Elizabeth Spencer, three sons
Burton Proctor, S. Nelson Proctor and
]. Armfeld Proctor, and two daughters
Mrs. c. w. Datzman, of Columbia. Pa,
and Miss A. Elizabeth Proctor. His fu-
neral took place on Sunday, the inter
ment being at Rock Spring Cemetery.
The services were in charge of Mt. Ararat
Masonic Lodge, of which he was a men,
Der. The clergymer who took part were
Rev. Spencer S. Greenwell and Rev R. A.
Castleman. ASLEEP in Jesus" was sung
by Mr. Charles H. McComas The lodge
services were in charge of Worshipful
Master Henry A. Whitaker. The pail
bearers were Walter w. Preston, George
r. Cairnes, Judge George l.. VanBibber,
Col. Ohio S. Lee, John G. Rouse, John H.
Reckord, John Bauer and William E. Rob-
inson. Dean and Son were the funeral
| directors.
