TIME TABLE.
Arrival and Departure OF Traln'
BRIEF sIENTIONINGS,

Candidates for naval cadets con-
tinue to arrive here.
What sculpture is to a block of
marble, education is to the human
soul.
Why is a dogs tail a great nov
city ?? Because no one ever saw it
before.
1t is said over 600 people left
here yesterday for the various camp
meetings,
A large shark was seen in the
Severn river, on Saturday, by some
bathers.
The subterranean current that
shook up the inhabitants of Baltimore
was also felt here.
The metallic coffin containing the
remains of Lieut. Lockwood, is said
to weigh over 40O lbs.
The hot MONDAY Sun and the
cool nights we are having are pre-
monitors of the approaching fall.
The churches of our city were
slimly attended yesterday. Many
persons attending the camp-meet-
ings.
Between 5000 and 1000 boxes
of peaches were shipped by the Sew
ern peach growers last week to Balti-
more.
An ingenious jailor down East
gives his prisoners three pounds OF
Epson salts per week to prevent
their breaklag oM.
Many persons visited the side
chapel in st. Anne's Church yester-
day to view the remains of Lieut..
Lockwood, one of the Greedy ex'
plorers.
All who have medicated on the
art of governing mankind, have been
convinced that the fate of empires
certainly depends on the education O.
the young.
The noisy demonstrations O
Young America on our streets, viii
soon be missed, only a few more
weeks of vacation remain for their
youthful sports.

The Eight Hour Law.

When Congress passed the eight hour
law it was intended to apply to all gov
ernment departments and employees.
We have been informed that there are
laborers in the Naval Academy who
work 10 and II hours per day and
receive no more wages than others
who labor only hours. 1t is even
said that when the steam and gas de-
partments ofthe Academy are in full
blast and operation, that the work
ingmen therein employed have to
labor as muchas thirteen hours. This
is beyond all reason and against both
the spirit and letter of the act of
Congress, Eight hours is, and has
been made, legal days work, and for
all work performed after eight hours
there should be paid pro rata wages.
The war department has fully adopted
the eight hour law, and it is the right
of the American laborer that his time
should count for something, and his
labor justly rewarded. Why cannot
this law be fully carried out at tho
Naval Academy as it is elsewhere?
Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1884-08-12
Popularity of the Capital.

1t is very gratifying to US record
the fact that the CAPITAL is being
appreciated by the people of Annapo-
lis and Anne Arundel county gener-
allv as filing a void that has been
so long felt in this community. Every
dav its subscription list is receiving
new names. We intend to strive to
make it's columns the bean ideal of a
truly local paper, in every respect
We can do it, and intend to do it, no
matter from what quarter the newsy
winds blow. 1t is now recognized
as the best local paper in the city
and read by thousands; even by those
who are unable to subscribe to It.
Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1884-08-12
Going to Decay.

Many of the old tombs in our city
cemetry which have stood the storms
of nearly a century, are fast crumbling
to dust The brick work or sar-
cophagus that covers the remains, in
many instances, are tumbling down.
