BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
OF Emerson c. Harrington Democratic
Candidate for State Comptroller.
Celebrated Birthday in Hospital

Mr.. Harrington was born on The
18th day of March, 1864. at Madison,
Dorchester county, q small village
of the Choptank river, about twelve
miles from Cambridge. His parents
were the late John E. Harrington,
who died several years ago, and Eliz-
abeth E. Harrington, who is still
living.
After receiving his primary educa-
tion in the public schools at Madison,
Mr. Harrington, at the age of 10
years, entered the preparatory school
at st. Johns College, Annapolis,
where so many of Maryland's distin-
guished sons have been educated, and
completed five-year course in four
Years, graduating in 1884, when he
received the second honors of his
class.
Immediately afterwards he was
elected instructor in the preparatory
department at ST. Johns, and filed
that position for two scholastic years,
during the latter half of which he
filed the position of Professor OF
Mathematics and Latin on account of
the illness of Professor Hagner.
AT the end of that year he was
elected to the position of Assistant
Professor of Latin and Mathematics,
but upon the resignation of DR.. Will
lam H. Hopkins, then acting Presi-
dent of the College, Professor Har-
rington resigned to accept the posi-
tion of principal of the Cambridge
Academy.
In 1890 the Cambridge Academy
and the Cambridge Seminary were
combined, and Professor Harrington
remained in charge of the institution
until the summer of 1898, being
each year reelected unanimously by
the joint board of trustees.
In 1897 Professor Harrington was
admitted to the bar and in the fall of
/ S99 he was nominated on the Dem
ocratic ticket for States Attorney of
Dorchester county, and was elected,
filling the position for a term of four
years. In 1908 he was renominated,
but was defeated by nine ty-one votes.
In November, 1910. he was ap.
pointed by the late Governor Crothers
Insurance Commissioner of Mary
land, I f, succeed the late Hon. B. f.
Grouse, of Carroll county, which
position Mr.. Harrington filled so ad.
mirably that he was nominated by
the Democratic party for Comptroller
in the summer of 1911, and was elect
ed in the fall Of that year.

Miss Mary Gertrude Johnson, anC
they have three children, Emerson
age lS; Mary, age 9. and William,

The Democratic party has shown
its appreciation of Mr.. Harrington
services by re-nomiuating him unani,
mously at the Democratic convention
held on Tuesday, there having been
no opposition to him in the primaries

STOCK co. CONTINUES TO PLEASE
More Than Your Moneys Worth Given
by the Chauncey Keiffer Players.

Everybody must concede the fact
that patrons of the Colonial Theatre
this week have received much more
than their moneys worth in the
quality of plays presented by the
Chauncey-Keiffer Stock Company, an
organization OF splendid players, VINO
have proved themselves most capable.
Not only are the plays good, but the
vocal selections between the acts are
to be commended.
Miss Ethel Snyder, who sings sew
ersl solos, and also duets with Mr..
Sahdrick, has a sweet, Gle ar soprano
voice. She sang with great effect
last night, and has sung sweetly
every nj .ght this week. She is grace
full, pretty and winsome. Mr.. Grandi
again sang to the delight of the audi
ence last night. Besides being a
versatile actor, he has a splendid
voice, which he knows how to use
with pleasing effect. AS Percy
Jones'" the sissy boy of Wsnacoop-
er's tin department, he was as cap
ably cast as in "Wildfire" of the
first nights show, whe IN he filled the
role of keeper of the race track
stables.
Z Mr.. Thomas l.. Brewer, the heavy
man" is always good, no matter
what character he impersonates.
Last night he filled a double role
that of Henry Adams, the down-and-
out man of cheap boarding house
and later as Hiram Wanuacooper. Mr..
Brewer is capable and versatile ac-
tor.
Miss Grace Keiffer, as Winifred
Dalrymple in the titls role, was as
winsome and charming ss ever. She
wears some very handsome gowns
when occasion permits, and last
night her gowns worn after she in
he rits her S., 800, which she spends
in month, were elegant, stylish and
becoming.
The story is one of Chicago shop
girls, and is interesting and full of
humor throughout. Tonight the
company will present "Life's Shop

LIES SHOP WINDOW
A Drama Of Realism at the Colonial
Theatre Tonight BY the Chauncey-
Keiffer Company.

Tonight the Chauncey -Keiffer Com
pany will present at the Colonial
Theatre the new dramatic sensation
entitled Lilies Shop Window" by
Victoria Cross.
The first act is a scene of farm
in Derby, England. An atmosphere
of simple life prevails. The doors
of the house are overgrown with
honeysuckle vine and the hay fields
loom up in the back. As the &C.
tion begins, Bernard Chetwin, a
young farmer, is about to start for
America to assume charge OF a
ranch in Arizona.
Lydia Wilton, whom he has Sec
reilly married, pleads to accompany
him, but he insists that she stay in
England and wait for him to pre-
pare their home in the new land.
The second and third acts are of their
ranch house in Arizona year lat er.
Lydia has Joined Bernard there, but
finds him so busy with the manage
ment of the ranch, devoting little of
his time to her, that she thinks his
affection is on the wane aId in grief
and loneliness her love for him is
slowly burning itself out.
Life Shop Window" the dra-
mstization of Victoria Cross's daring
novel, is not "off COLOR" as some
people are inclined to think. 1t is
drama entirely free from anything
offensive. The play is we'll mount
ed and the performance is extremely
creditable.
