will remind you that this is one of
the early-the very early-iron-min-
ing and iron-smelting regions of

the northeast and the old and famous
Muirkirk furnaces about a mile and
half north. At the top of the hill
you come to Evansville. which stands
at a point where a road strikes off to
Annapolis and other places from the
old Washington and Baltimore post
road and turnpike.
Evansville was a point of some
celebrity in the days of stage-coach
travel and wagon trains. Evansville

Several years ago, in telling the story
of Lafayette's visit to Washington. Oc-
tober IL to is, 1924, the Rambler wrote:
Lafayette arrived in Washington at
1 o'clock. Tuesday. October II, 1924 He
left Baltimore on Monday afternoon, ac-
companied by his son, George Washing
ton Lafayette; his secretary, Col. Vas
sieur: delegation of the Baltimore re-
ception committee. Col. Dickerson and
Col. Lloyd, aides on the staff of the
Governor of Maryland. and with Capt
Hillingsworth's cavalry troop OF Greys
from Elk Ridge as an escort. flfteen
miles out from Baltimore, Lafayette and
his encourage were met by the 1st
Cavalry Troop of Bladensburg. under
command of Capt. Sprigg, who had been
Governor Of Maryland not long before.

noticed, too, that he stayed out all
the afternoon, no matter what the
weather. and that when he'd show up
around o'clock his Baldwin apple
cheeks would be redder than ever, his
old eyes bright and twinkly, and his
appetite more like a hired mans than
like retired plute's. But all the re-
Spouse l could get out of him as to
where he'd been or what he'd been
doing was vague and sketchy. In

So far as his health went. he's about

he certainly could indulge in some
odd habits. Still, I was more or less
curious about these afternoon disap-
pearaices and his reluctance to talk
over his daily doings.

A cold wind swept over the bleak

keep warm, f1ocked in sheltered
places. When a sparrow fiuffs up his
feathers, or her feathers, to keep
warm he does pretty much the same

much about this African gallinaceous

THE origin of Evansville has not
been learned by the Rambler. He
Goes not even know how it came by its
name. He has gone through several
Maryland records with the aim of find
ing somebody by the name of Van in
Prince Georges county. He found TO
such names In the census Of 1890 ap-
pear bartholomew, John and William
Vain in Caroline county, and John,
Henry and William Vane in Dorchester.
