TAyERsHAM. at present

VNTGLL1AM FAvERSHAM, at. present
wv tie star of the thrilling western
play, "The Squaw Man" which
comes TO the Mason for the first half of
this week. has not always been an actor.
His carly days were spent In far diff
ferent atmosphere that bore no relation
70 the stage. 1t is far cry from a
trooper in a British cavalry regiment to
the star of an American play; or from
the chaps and spurs of cowpuncher In
the Texas Panhandle 20 the reading of
lines in the glare of the calcium, but Mr..
lFaversham has made it, and to outward
appearances at least the transition has
been an easy one.
II is some years now since the young
imam arrived in New York from his Eng
llsh home, having finished his service in
his regiment to take up the battle of
life in the new land. Ills experience of
useful money making professions or
trades was nil. save for the innate good
sense and willingness that characterized
him. and he found, many another has
found before him, that the qualities of
which he was possessed were being sup
piled in abundance and were ir fact a
~ rug on the market.
A Hard Struggle
''f He fought as we'll as he could in those
early, days, but the struggle was bit-
ter one. and, after he had spent
y,yhts, hungry, in the open parks. he
decided that New York and its people
were to inhospitable for him He turnend
his back upon the big, heartess city with
resentment welling up within him. and
registered quiet vow that the time
would yet come when New York would
supply him with living and a good
one. For the time, however. he would
give the outer pales of civilization a
chance to show what they could do for
him, and he took freight train to the
west.
). Months later found him clad in overalls
and al jumper, Stetson and spurs, joy
fully rhng4i cattle in the territory that
has ben celebrated in song and story
as tL3 "Panhandle." More months and
he was UP in the mountains of Colorado;
sometnes following pack mule loaded
with Supplies and at others chipping rock
IN the Iearch for gold, Still later he might
have ben discovered upon a ranch help
ing tn owner to brand ponies and doing
the ulaf chores about the place. He
was hrning to know himself, and in
the Ell drifted to the east again.
Back in New York Again
Thd came another battle with the
ogresof the city. New York was chary
shaualmost went down in defeat, and
onlyhis grim determination to conquer
the lverse fates and win out kept him
to II grind, The records of those years
are pt ones that he is overfond of talk

OCTOBER 23-We have had extremely cool
weather for this time in the year. but Mr..
Jacob Lawyer says on October 18th, 1858, a
snow fell to the depth of II inches in this

Jacob Lawyer received letter few days
ago from his niece, stating that his brother,
Louis M. Lawyer, of Solom, Iowa, was par.

VIM. F. Myers, our hog butcher, has re-

A slight fire occurred at Mrs. Susan Sire

lost their lives Monday morning in the tunnel
which runs from North avenue to Pennsyl.
vania Avenue Station, Baltimore.
The three men formed the crew of a freight
train of 50 cars, which left Union Station with
shifting engine to help the trai N up the
steep grade which lies between the stations.
When midway in the tunnel, the last section
about 20 cars-is said to have broken loose.
The accident was not known until the front
part of the train pulled into Fulton Station.
Orders were given for the train to he backed.
The cars were found, and Conductor Hard
esty and Engineer Reinhot jumped from
their train to make repairs. The great vol.
ume of smoke from putting engine filled the
tunnel. and Hardesty and Reinholt became
insensibe. Realizing that it would be risky
to attempt to pull the train toward Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Station with only one engine,
Fireman Thomas backed the train into Union
Station. Hardesly and Reinholt were hur.
ried into the station and DR.. D. z. Dunnott
was summoned.

MIR. j. SYLVESTER FINK.

In many respects the most important of
fcals in the county are the county commits
sloners. They are the directors of the cor
porntion in which all the taxpayers are
stockholders, and therefore they are closer to
the people than aay of the other men who
are chosen TO look out for public affairs. They
nix the tax rate, direct the expenditures of the
county funds, appoint many of the minor Off
Gals. and upon them depends much that goes
to make up the welfare of the community. A
bad or indifferent man in the office can do a
great amount of harm, and care should be
used in voting for that citizen who is to FIJI
the place for the next six years.
The Democratic Convention selected Mr.
j. Sylvester Fink, of Taneytown for this i'm
portant position on the ticket. Mr.. Fink has
been tried i'll a public position and is at

Mrs. Haslup was pleased with the growth
of the union. She spoke in most encourag-
ing manner Of the temperance work through
out the State and was listened TO with I'M
divided attention. She made mention of the
thirty fourth National Convention of the W.

that during all those years sentiment against
saloons has been growing; that it used to he
hard for union to get hearing, whereas
now churches are welcoming them and pastors
ask that unions be organized, realizing that
they are a benefit to the church and help to
him. She called their attention 10 the fact
that there are unions in every State and Ter.
ritory in the country. They are also organized
in over fifty nations and have membership
of about half million.
She told of an instance not long ago of
meeting a gentleman from Georgia wearing Il

spoke to him about it, when he answered.

She closed with the wish that more conse-
Grated hearts would join the ranks When

the white ribbon the day of victory will be at
