Among my treasures with which I deco- rate my rooms when I am long enough in one place to make decoration worth while is a skull. When Edwin Booth was playing Hamlet during his last engagement in Boston I took this skull to Owell’ Faweett, who was play- ing the Gravedigger, aiid asked him to use it in the graveyarg scene for Yorick’s skull. I also asked him,to try to get Mr. Booth to write his autograph on the skull after using it in the play. Some time before that I had written on she forehead of the skull, in very black inks Hamlet's dying words, “The rest is silence.” 4 “Hamlet” was played Wednesday night, the last week of ‘the engagement, and also at the Saturday neatinee. 5 ‘After the performanee Wednesday night I went to see Fawcett and inquire about my skull’s “first appebrance.” Fawcett met mezwith a smile, and said, “I used the skull, but I am afraid you won't get Mr. Baoth's:autograph on it.” T asked him why notwand he told me that when he handed sthe-#kull up out of the grave.to Mr. Booths the calcium light strongly flluminated the words I had writ- ten on Yorick’s forehead. The result was unfortunate. Mr, Booth took the skull, made his usual slight pause before beginning the “Alas, poor Yorick:” speech, started to speak and “gat the speech all twisted,” almost “sticking dead.” His last line in “Hamlet” thus appearing so far ahead of its cue had upset him. He was justly offended, until he was told it had not been planned as a practical joke. IT asked Fawcett to use the skull again at the Saturday matinee, and to try to get the autograph. He did so, and Mr. Booth showed his ever kindly nature oy writing his name, clear and bold, on the forehead of the skull, im- mediately above the offending lines, ‘The rest is silence.” 3 BLAZE OF UNIFORMS The First Week of the National Fencibles’ Fair, ee ORGANIZATIONS INVITED TONIGHT An Earnest Appeal From the Lively Fair Paper. THE COMPANY ROSTER The first week of the fair of the National Fencibles, in National Rifles’ armory, will reach an end this evening in a blaze of glory, it is certain, for the room will be crowded with visiters, invitations té attend having been accepted by President's Troop A, Capt.

The organizations are to appear in full dress uniform, and will be escorted to the fair from the National Guard armory, on L street, by the Fen- cibles and a drum corps, Capt.

Attack the Stranger. It is a determined boast of the Fencibles that they are fortunate in possessing the prettiest, most attractive and irresistible corps of assistants possible to procure. | The only drawhack attributed to the young ladies is that they are inclined to be back- ward in coming forward, and in an endeay- or to remedy the situation “The Fencible,” the fair paper, each evening has editorially been urging the girls to better efforts in the following strain: “Some of our a: We hope they will conquer this feeling at once and proceed to business.

Above all, approach the strangers and ease up a little on the members of the company.” Is a Success. ‘The fair parer, The Fencible, with Lieut. W. W. Mortimer as editor-im@chief, Capt.

Outcome of Politics In Montgomery County. - = Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., March 7, 1896. A suit was filed here today in the circuit court which will be watched with interest by all persons who are familiar with Mary- land politics. It Is an action for $20,000 dam- ages for libel and is brought by J. Vance Lewis of Takoma Park, against Allan Ruth- erford, a claim agent, who has an office in Washington and lives at Gaithersburg, this county. Mr. Lewis was an applicant for ap- pointment as land commissioner of Mary- land under Gov. Lowndes, and was sup- pesed to have an excellent chance for the plaze, as it was held by a Monigéme county democrat, and Lewis was strongly backed. The alleged libel grows out of a letter which Rutherford wrote to Gov. Lowndes February 1s, 196, in which the following language occurs: “Mr. Lewis is unfitted, both by lack of character and abil- ity, to fill such a place as he seeks; he was a clerk in the Department of the Interior at Washington, and lost his piace during Pres ident Harrison's administration, and made an effort to get a reappointment, but failed. We hear that it is claimed his present impe- cunious condition is owing to his having « pended his time and means for the interes of the republican party. This is absulute untrue, as it is a well-known fact that he has lived off the money expended in our county for political purposes for several years past and that he has never contributed one cent of his own money to the cause, all his expenses during our canvass for years past having been paid by contribu- tions from others. In fact, he is a ‘hanger on of politics’ and no more serious injury could be done our party in this county gh: his appcintment to any prominent posit! These charges are alleged in the plaintiff's declaration to be both false and malicious The letter purports to be signed by Ru erford * being a delega- tion consisting of himself and two others, which had called upon the governor the day before. A peculiar feature of the case is that Lewis and Rutherford were supposed to be the latter having been particularly enthusiastic in en- deavoring to secure Mr. Lewis’ nomination | as the republican candidate for circuit judge last fall. It is stated that another suit for damages is to be filed against Rutherford and two others, who signed another similar letter to the governor. The plaintiff is repre- sented by Messrs. Miller and Gould and H. Maurice Talbott. —_——_ Their Annual Supper. ‘The members of the Vaushn class of the Calvary Baptist Sunday school gave their fifth annual svpper last evening in ihe Sunéay school house, at the corner of Sth and H streets. In-the early part 9f the evening the cluss Held a reception in honor of President Whitman of the Columbian University, who has been the instructor since its founder, Mr. F. W.

Then followed a brief program, consisting of selections upon the graphophone, recitations by Mr. D. C. Bangs and a piano solo by Mr. Frank Ge- best. All present then repaired to the up- per floor, where a photograph was taken in group as a memento of the occasion.

When questioned in court yesterday, the boy said he had been fined six or seven times for different offenses, and on other occasions he had been acquitted.
