Associated with the church, however,
must always be the thought of the rector,
Rev. DR.. William Francis Brand, under
whose ministry it was built and who has
so long and faithfully served it. St.
Mary's has never had but this one rec
tor and probably he is the oldest living
clergyman in Episcopal orders.
DR.. Brand was born in New Orleans
June II, 1914. Early in the forties he
moved to Maryland and engaged in the
ministerial work in which his whole life
has subsequently been passed. He was
admitted to the diaconate of the Protes.
tant Episcopal Church in September,
1912, and took full orders as minister
in that church in March, 1914.
1t was in 1913 that he moved to Har-
ford county and came into touch with
the people who shortly were to be his
parishioners. In the short interim of
1912 to 1913 he had been serving the
charge of All Hallows, in Anne Arundel
county. In this year he married Miss
Sophia McHcnry Hall, of old Maryland
lineage, SO altogether in that year events
moved rapidly for the young clergyman.
1t was in lS4S that he became connected
with the new congre cation of St. Mary's,
that was just then forming for itself
place of worship, and it was under his
direction and care that the present edifice
was brought into being.
For many years DR.. Brand lived in
rectory a short distance from the church.
This was unfortunately burned several
years ago, and his books and all of his
accumulation of long life
were destroyed. The present rectory,
about 100 yards from the church |
building, was put up after the burning of
the old on q new site, and the old loca- |

BRUTALLY ASSAULTED AND ROBBED.

Mr.. H. D. Willis, Virginian by birth
and an ex-Confederates soldier, living near
Perryman, was brutally assaulted and
robbed on Saturday night. Mr.. Willis is
bachelor and resides in a little house
alone near the residence of Richard Hollo-
way. On Saturday night, he was settl-
ing some accounts at the store, and ex-
hibited some money. Going home he
was followed by two negro men, and in
front of Dr. Chapmau's house was as
saulted and robbed of $40 and a gold
watch. He was knocked down and
choked by one while the other robbed
him. He made an outcry and when
found was taken to Dr. STEERS, where he
was treated and taken from there to the
residence of Mr.. James w. Malcolm,
where he was taken care of over night

The states attorney believes that the
crime was committed by two negroes,
and he is confident that he has one of the
men. There is a possibility, however
that the other is at large, and an effort
is being made to locate him.
Mr. Willis was struck over the head by
club which cut two inch cash in his
scalp, laying the skull bare AS he fell,
one assailant put his knee upon his
breast and choked him to silence. The
other rifled his pockets. The men who
committed the crime both carried clubs,
one of gum about FIVE feet long and two
inches in diameter. and the other pal
ing taken from the fence surrounding the
railroad property.

"WAY UP" VAUDEVILLE.

Salt Lake is to get taste of way

safe to predict that Treasurer Wilson
will get corns on his digits raking in
the shekels before Saturday Three
acts from across the water, a sketch,
a musical turn and a monologue stunt
are among the offerings. The bill is
headed by Galetti's Monkeys who do
everything but talk and eventually
wind up in one great rip-roaring rough
house. Mignonette Kokin, a dainty
little chic parcel of millinery direct
from Gay Paree, is the second liner
She sings, dances and gives limitations
in charming manner that Is copy
righted. Then there are Frank Rae
and Gussie Brosche who take the
stage for twenty minutes in sketch
which bears the suggestive title of
"a Woman of Few Words" Les Au-
berts is another turn which is bound
to make a hit. These whirlwind dan
GERS came direct to the Orpheum cir
cult from Paris. In one of their
waltzes Mons. Aubert, who is a small
man, whirls about the stage with his
fair partner held horizontally at rams
length above his head. OF the work
of De Harport on the Mexican solterio
the Denver papers are unanimous in
asserting that it is one of the finest
muscal acts of the entire season at
the Orpheum. ]. Frank Ely is an
other feature on next weeks bill here;
his specially is monologue, songs and
stories. The kinodrome will present
some new motion pictures in the form

Such common everyday thing us
with any special Importance or mys-
terry, yet it is interesting 10 discover
how many omens and superstitions OF
Olden times were connected with it.
Superstition, that unknown, myStel j.
Gus fear which controls us in spite oi
our reason, clings to and directs us in
even the most common acts of life
How many there are of us, clear head
ed and practical though we may con
slider ourselves, who do not connect
some pet superstition with simple
events, as the breaking of mirror, the
burning of an ear, the finding of
horseshoe or four leaf clover or the
splitting of salt. And many a mother
would rather her baby had the Group
than have him look in the glass before
he is a year old or sneeze at an I'M
lucky season. And in connection with
sneeZing alone there are more super
stitions than are generally realized.
This is a simple act in itself and
seemingly would give very little cause
for superstition. According to a popu-
lar definition, "sneeZing is IL natural
respiratory movement, interrupted by
a strong exploratory effort, expelling
the air through the nose with more or
less noise" This action may be brought
on by the inhalatio of dust, pungent
vapors or by the simple inspiration OF
air when the membrane is diseased or
in an irritable condition, as in the case
of cold. There is also a spot in the
head the touching of which will cause
sneezing in many people. BARRIERS are
aware of this fact. as their gentle ma
nipulations are often greeted with a
round of sneeZes. This is supposed to
be caused by the touching of small
and extremely sensitive nerve which
runs from the top of the head to the
nostril and Is much more sensitive
with some than with others.
Sneezing is now considered favor
able and healthful action and is court
ed by people who believe in it's efficacy
by looking intently at the sun until the
desired action occurs. Consumptiyes
