The facilities, with which Annap.
oils is surrounded, offer great induce
ments to any active and energetic
business man an excellent opportuni-
ty to successfully establish here a
large business in the purchase, pack
ing and shipment of soft, hard, and
deviled crabs. This character of
shell-fsh has been so remarkably plen-
riful this season that there has been
almost a glut in the market. The
season here for the CT abs begins about
May lst, and ends about lst October.
From about the middle of June to
July the supply of crabs begins to de-
crease. There are several such estab-
lishments in Baltimore City, where
crabs of all kinds-soft, hard, picked,
and deviled-are packed and shipped
to Western Markets, principally
among hotels and restaurants who are
the largest buyers. The traffic in this
line, as now established here, is of but
minor Importance, thus far, yet we
candidly believe there is a large op-
portunity now presented to build up
an extensive trade in the purchase,
packing and shipping of crabs from
this locality.

Supposed Burglar.

On Saturday night, after Mr.. G. c.
Lamb had retired to his bed, his at
tention was attracted to some unusual
noise below, as though some one
was trying to get into the house;
arming himself he proceeded down
stairs, and as he approached the outer
door leading to his back yard he dis
cerned the form of a man scaling his
back fence, at which he let fly two
shots from his gun, with what result
he was not able to learn. Nothing
was missing, as the would be robber

At night Rev. Father McInerney
preached very interesting and in
structive sermon on the Efficacy Of
Divine Grace impaired to the Soul by
the worthy reception of Holy Com
munion-lucidly demonstrating that
Divine Grace was an actual, living,
substantial reality, as much so as
things visible to the human eye.

Bad Faith.

The concert entertainment given at
the Masonic Opera House last week,
by number of ladies and gentlemen
from Baltimore, for the benefit of our
City Cemetery resulted in no surplus!
The receipts were about $50, but the
company were so delighted with our
beautiful city, that they decided to
remain here and enjoy themselves un-
til the proceeds were expended in
board bills, and thus were the ladies
who have the Cemetery in charge and
who took so much pains to make the
concert success, left out in the cold.
If there were no ladies in the case, we
should give utterance to language less
polite perhaps than elegant.

RObbing F. nit Gardens.

Already many owners of fruit gar
dens in this city are complaining
about their fruit trees being robbed of
the early fruit by idle and bad boys.
1t is not the value of the fruit for
which they so much care or complain,
but the devilish way these miscreants
break and destroy the vines and
branches of trees. They have deter
mined, they say, to invoke the aid of
the law against all such who are
hereafter found trespassing in their
gardens. If the parents of such
children do not heed this timely
warning, and admonish their children
accordingly, they must suffer the con-
sequences,

been paid out for public buildings alone,
and the amounts paid out for works of art,

stated. For a number OF years it has cost
more than 81, 100000 a year to pay the
Government expenses OF the District OF
Columbia, and since 1862 the amounts
have been much higher. In 1873 the
amount was more than 5000, 600. In
1873 it was more than 81, 600, 600, while
from 1928 to 1852 it was less than

THE Hor.wArgR CRAZE.

"And, waiter" added gentleman who
had Just ordered lunch at fashionable
Chestnut street restaurant, "a cup OF hot
water-very hot, please-and bring it
first" The hot-water craze is one of the
most remarkable of recent public eccen-
tricities.
at fairly promises to beat the patent
medicine cure alls out of the market, said
a prominent physician yesterday. 1t was
originally claimed as cure for the dyspep-
tic merely, but now almost everybody
drinks hot water for almost everything.
It has become the rage, and there Is
scarcely a prominent hotel in the city
which does not serve it to scores of guests,
and even the restaurants in localities of
trade, where everybody is supposed TO be
too busy during working hours to pay at
tention to health, have scores of custom
ers-bankers and brokers and such-for
whom the walters get resdy hot water
before ordering the lunch.
A prominent hotel manager said " Hot
" ter as a beverage has recently become
popular at the -. The walters now
think no more of filling orders for it than
of filling orders for ice water or milk. The
people who use it are either invalids of
people who think that their digestion is not
lust what it should be. 1t is wonderful
how this hot-water system has taken hold.
] know plenty of people in our hotel who
are convinced that there is no case of dys-
pepsia which it will not cure, and some
people almost appear to think that there is
now almost no more use for doctors"
A reporter called upon distinguished
physician yesterday and asked him whether
he had observed the popularity of the hot
water cure. "Why," said he, nodding to
a patient who had just called, here is one
who drinks red.hot water three times day,
and it does her good, too. Is it in such
general use as is claimed? l think So 1t
appears to have taken people by storm, and
/ can see no objection to it. There can be
no harm in taking hot water in moderate
quantities before meals, and it very often
is of itself an excellent curative for indi-
gestion and dyspepsia. In the first place,
il stimulates the stomach and gives to it
that heat which is so often necessary to
put into proper action the digestive Or
gans. Then, when man gets to using hot
water he is apt to take more time in eat
ing, and more care, because he feels that as
he is under threatment he should make an
effort to give the treatment fair show.
Very few things are better than hot water
to stimulate the stomach before breakfast,
after the exhaustion consequent upon a
nights sleep. As cold water is bad thing
for the digestion, because it chills the
stomach, SO hot water is excellent, because
it heats it up, starting the fires to going, as
It were. These and other facts in its favor
go far toward explaining its popularity
but, like everything else, it can BIS carried
to extremes Philadelphia Record.
