The House Committee on Naval Affairs
to-day amended the bill, heretofore intro

lis to be composed OF five chiefs OF Bureaus
of the Navy Department and three line Off

ed in engineering and construction, to be
selected either from the navy or from civil
| life. The provision that an admiral and 4
vce-admiral OF the navy should be members
of the board was stricken out. Instead OF

purpose. -.

pers, but who are pronounced candidates for
different positions in the summer elections,
who have also failed to indicate the fact
whether or not they are coming before
the June convention, and are subject to its
decision. To such gentlemen this timely
warning is given: If you intend coming be-
fore the proposed convention, the sooner you
say so the better. By delay you are not only
endangering your individual chances
the opponents of the Democratic
and Conservative party" the influence
of your delay, and they are ENORMOUSLY using
this to make an impression upon the masses
that you have doubts and misgivings as TO
the success of the nominees of the said con-
vention, and prefer to have your claims acted
upon by the people at the ballot-b box. The
reason prompting this timely suggestion to
gentlemen in the list referred to ABOVE, is the
tact that recently well-known citizen of this
county, in public speech in a public hall, to
some eighteen or twenty voters, SAID that ''of
the great number OF candidates for the vari-
GUS offices to be filled this summer, only a
very few-probably net more than ten-had
expressed willingness to go before the June
convention" This, he said, he construed as
an unwilhngness to do so-that their chances
of success were much better before the people
at the ballot-boz. 1t is proper to say that
the gentleman alluded to is not a Democrat,
and at this time he is working In the interest
of the National party. Name, date and To-
cality are not given here, but can be had if
necessary. The convention is only thirty
days off, and the voters of this county have
right to know exactly where the candidates
stand, and they ,0iH knOtc. OBSERVER.

Miss Kate Harman,s Benefit.

The Theater was well filed last evening, it
being the occasion of the complimentary
benefit rendered to Miss Kate Hartman by
the German Casino club. The Honeymoon
lions presented. AS Guiana Miss Hartman
made pleasing impression. She developed
rare dramatic powers. Her acting was every
thing to be commended, and resembled much
more the professional style than it did the
amateur. Possessing an attractive personal
appearance, a pleasing address, a musical
and well-modulated voice, fair knowledge
Of stage business, together with rare gifts as
a vocalist, no wonder she succeeds in making
most favorable impressions upon the general
public and the critics. Indeed, Miss Hartman
is the leading amateur actress of the city,
and this is high praise, because we have in
our midst many very clever actresses who
have succeeded in pleasing the public. Miss
Hartman was very well supported by Miss
Maria Hitzfeld, as ''Zamora," and by the fol-
lowing well-known gentlemen, who made up
the remainder Of the cast:

EDITORS APPEAL-There are five young
Hebrews in this city who compose club
called "Mllah ~ the initial of the first name
of each member). These young men are very
clever managers, and are now getting up a
benefit for the St.iPeter's, Leath and Church
Home orphan asylums IN the way of con-
cert performance and hop, which takes place
at Estival park on the twenty-third of this
month. We believe that few hundred years
ago it would have been a strange idea for
Hebrews to exert themselves in favor of their
christian friends. Now, let us show them
that we appreciate their kind efforts by as
ssting them ali we can in the way of selling
their tickets, etc. Trusting they will sell five
thousand tickets, | remain, christian friend,
