sion in Five Reels of
CAMEO KIRBY"
"Cameo Kirby" is romance of the
South in the days before the war, with
love as it's main theme and with incidents
which include many exciting adventures.
"Cameo Kirby" ran for an entire sea-
son in New York and was regarded at
that time as distinctive departure. In
the midst of food of realistic dramas
this romance of the South, with its gen.
tleman hero whose proclivities for gamb-
ling gets him into difficulties and its love-
ly heroine who believes in the hero in
spite of all temptations to mistrust him,
made tremendous sensation. Dustin
Farnum in ''Cameo Kirby" is bound to be
an even greater attraction than when he
appeared here in the MAN From Home.

GIRL OF THE GOLDEN VEST
"The Girl of the Golden Vest who
belonged to the race of the California
"forty- miners" and kept saloon in a
mining camp of the Sierra Mountains, is
a character known to all people who in
any degree follow theatrical events. The
story of her defiance of the gambler
sheriff and her love for the city-bred
"road-agent, is almost household sto-
nv. But never has that story been told
as effectively as in its present form, with
all the details of the Incidents which sue
ceed one another naturallyupon the screen,
but which could not possibly be crowded
into two-hour stage performance.
The cast for this Belasco masterpiece
includes Mabel Van Buren in the title
role; Theodore Roberts as the sheriff, and
many we'll known artists.
A Paramount Travel Picture will be
shown in connection with the above great
Five Reel feature.

Wind. Snow and Rain.

The weather of the past week was per-
haps the most disagreeable of any week
the entire winter. Last Friday snow
fell most of the day and was driven by
strong wind. The temperature was
somewhat above the freezing point and
the greater portion melted as it came in
contact with the ground.
In the mountains west of us most of
the snow remained, the wind driving it
together in public roads until they were
closed. Mr.. Raymond Creager, of this
place started to drive to the State Sana-
torium but when a short distance beyond
Deerfield his horses got in drift through
which they could not pass. Mr.. Creager
returned home.
Sunday all day strong wind blew and
at night for a time was very heavy.
Many persons thought of the storm of
March lst, two years ago. No serious
damage was done, however, 'in this
vicinity.

the afternoon he preached to 1900. En-
thusiasm, which even the most sanguine
among the members of the committee
had scarcely hoped for, swept all three

not of majority of women, but largely
of substantial business men, uf mechan-

Big Fight On "Dry" Bill.
Big Crowds Hear Debate.

big CfOWaS Hear DouaCo'
State House, Annapolis, Feb. 30
After an all day and nearly all night figh t
on the Prohibition Bill both houses ad-
journed about II o'clock tonight with a
net result of nothing but oratory, and
without single amendment being voted
on.
The battle will be resumed tomorrow,
and as large percentage of members on
both sides wish to be heard on the sub
ject there is no indication at present as
to when vote will ever be taken.
1t is impossible tonight to tell what
the outcome of the fight in either house
will be. 1t is plain, however, that the
prohibitionists feel that they have the
votes to put their measure across. They
are quite unconcerned. The only resent
ment they ever show is against what ap-
pears to them to be dilatory tactics.
1t is said that Governor Harrington
could save the situation for Baltimore if
he would only say the word. There are
several men in the Senate who would
vote to exempt the city from the pro-
visions of the prohibition bill if he would
tell them to do so, but if reports are cor
rect he is keeping very mum.
On the contrary, the gossip is that he
is leaning toward the other side. These
reports about how the Governor looks at
the situation have had the effect of bring
ing back into the temperance lineup some
men who were wavering and were ready
to jump to the exemptionists.
Should the amendment to exempt Bal
tmore be voted down, the next effort
will be to secure separate vote for the
city or, in other words, the plan will be
to substitute what in effect is local
option for prohibition bill.
