Last year many people were out of

1.-THE, FIRING LINE"
At The Colonial Theatre December
Twenty-ninlh

1t has frequently been the cause of
considerable speculation on the part
of theatregoers as to why there has
not been offered to amusement seek
ers before this dramatized version
of any Of Robert w. Chambers
novels, inasnuch as the books of this
celebrated author have been more
widely read than those of any other
writer of fiction of modern times,
and now that weare to have dram
atized version of The Firing Line"
at the Colonial Theatre on Thursday,
December 90, unusual interest has
been manifested in this city over the
coming presentation.
The Firing Line" is regarded as
being one of the most stirring novels
written by Mr.. Chambers, excelling
in interest, even THE Fighting
Chance" The Younger Set" and
The Danger Mark, which are from
the pen of the same author. The
dramatization of "The Firing Line"
is the work of Richard Walton
fully, and to those who are familiar
with the characters and events so
cleverly portrayed in this absorbingly
interesting look, the dramatic oppor-
tunites will be easily discernable
The principal scenes are laid in
Florida and the tropical scenic equip
ment promises to be Of exceptional
splendor.

THOUGHT TO BE CRAZY
COIOred Man James Parker Being Held
For Inquiry As To Sanity

For some weeks past Lewis Parker,
a young colored man, who lives in the
western section of the city, has been
acting in a strange manner. OF late
his family has become alarmed and
has notified the police.
Parker would go away from home
and wander about aimlessy and en-
ter the houses of people whom he
knew without knowledge of the occu-
pants. and he frightened members of
the household. Parker was taken in
charge by the city police authorities
a few days ago, and was locked up
and subsequently had hearing be-
fore Justice Wells. He is being held
at the jail awaiting an investigation
as to his mental state before his COM
mitment to an institution for the
feeble minded.

Great sympathy is expressed on
all sides for the family of Surgeon

wife is seriously i'll of typhoid fever

Mrs. Carpenter has heen i'll several
weeks, and the past few days her
condition has been so serious as to
cause alarm. Last night there was
a change for the worse, and the pa.
tient was dangerously i'll, but this
morning she has rallied and there is
a slight improvement. Her many
friends in Annapolis and the Naval

Perhaps there are no better beloved
