ANNAPOLIS NOTES.

The entertainments Saturday evenings have
become somewhat of bore to the cadets, as
was evident by the lack of enthusiasm at the
performance given by the Messrs. Perry Broth
ers and Mr.. Charles Little at the Naval Insti-
tute Hall last Saturday evening. The last of
the series will be given tomorrow evening and
will consist of lecture on the "Navy in the
Civil War;" by the Hon. III. w. Wheeler illus
trated, as usual, by stereoptican views
Mrs. Phelps, wife of Ensign Phelps gave a
very successful phantom party Saturday even
ing.
Cadets yogelgesang, Everhart, aud Neville,
of the first class, went on leave to Washington
Saturday.
The whole first class will go to Washington
Wednesday, the 10th instant, to visit the ord
nance foundry. They will probably leave in
the morning and remain at the Navy Yard all
day, returning directly to Annapolis Wednes-
day afternoon. The trip will be made under
the direction of the Department of Ordnance
and Gunnery, Of which Lieut.. COmdr. Sperry is
the head, The cadets are naturally very anX-
ious to visit their friends in Washington, but
the trip will be one of business strictly and not
of pleasure; at least such are the present iudi-
cations.
The past week has been spent by the four
companies of the battalion in outdoor drills,
skirmish, torpedoes, steam tactics, boats with
oars and sails, target great guns, and machine
guns. The battalion and company drill this
year is in single rank, an entirely new feature
at the Academy, where all infantry drills have
heretofore been in double rank.
Some remarkable targets are being made by
the cadets of the first class with the new rapid
fire guns lately received and mounted on the
"Standish.'
Great disgust has been expressed by the
cadets at the appropriation for one new ship
only. The impression seems to have gained
ground that the present Congress was going to
do great things for the new NAVY in the WaV of
making appropriations SO the present dsap-
pontment is correspondingly great.
The first hop since Lent will take place April
10 in the new dance hall, and promises to be a
great success. 1t will be given by the cadets of
the first class, and will be of the informal va
riety.
The Naval Academy baseball club has been
organized and has made engagements to play
match games with the following teams: From

game was played last Saturday between the
officers and cadets, and resulted with q score of
32 to 0, in favor of the latter.
Continued interest is felt in the Revenue Ma
rine bill and that for the reduction of the aca-
demic course to four years, ETC. The present
system of a six years course results in no ad-
vantage to any one, and only involves an extra
expense of $4,000 to the Government for each
cadet taking the two years cruise.

A HOTEL INCIDENT.
Why the Gentleman and His Pretty Niece
Left So Hastily.

Why the Gentleman and His Pretty Niece
Left So Hastily.
An interesting little scene occurred the other
evening in front of the ladies' entrance to a
select family hostlery, which is largely patron
lied by visitors to the city who desire quiet,
home-like surroundings. Unseemly noise or
outcry had no part in the scene, yet the discern
ing eye of a HERALD reporter detected that
something was peculiar about the precipitate
departure of a gentleman and lady whose exit
was somewhat accelerated by the frowning
countenance and threatening manner of the
proprietor, supported by two brawny porters
loaded with satchels, dressing cases. etc., which
they unceremoniously bundled into the hack
which bore away the evidently unwecome
guests The reporters attention was especially
attracted by the appearance of the lady, who
was extremely agtated. Tears welled from
her beautiful eyes and chased each other down
her cheeks She was young and lovely, and in
her neat, close-ftting street costume, which
brought out the rounded curves of her well-de-
veoped figure, she looked very fascinating.
Her companion, gentleman of perhaps two
score ard ten, whose distinguished appearance
was frightened by the silver threads of gray
which Time had woven among his luXuriant
hair, was hardly less excited than the lady, and
although evidently more experienced in the
ways of the wicked world, and consequently
better able to control his agitation yet the NUT
tered imprecations which filtered out into the
quiet night through his compressed lips, and
the vicious bang with which he shut the door
of the vehicle, were evidences that he was
extremely wroth and perhaps trife dangerous
to approach, and it was with feeling of relief
that the rattle of the departing carriage sounded
upon the reporters ears and silled bis desire to
get in question or two relative to the cause of
the somewhat unusual occurrence. But the
hotel man still remained, and he was lawful
prey. Accordingly the scribe approached and
propounded his queries. The Boniface having
become somewhat Modified from the fact that
focus from the direct rays of the electric arc
lights which hung over the entrance, he sized
up the reporter with that supreme degree of
condenscension peculiar to his ilk, and with
spasmodc contortion of the facial muscles re-
marked, "Young man, this is first-class house,
with fly detective. We don't entertain uncles
and nieces, unless we know the family-see?

4 Combination Garter.

A new device which will be OF interest
20 dealers in hosiery in the United
States has been recently patented in sew
eral European countries, and an appli-
cation for a patent is on file in the
American patent Office. Said device
consists of a combination stocking and
garter, made by running rubber elastic
band through welt at the top Of the
stocking.
The ends of the elastic appear outside
of the welt, and may be arranged to
fasten with a button or a fancy clasp
similar to those used on kid gloves. The
elastic can be drawn out and inserted at
will, although the necessity of taking it
out does not yet appear, as 1t IS said that
the best rubber will satisfactorily stand
the washing process. When the elastic
is in its place the general appearance Of
the stocking is not changed. as the
fastening, unless metallic, will be of the
same color as the stocking. Chemnitz

Cushions Galore.

Cushions seem to be the perennial de-
light of the average woman. This is an
age of cushions. and her soul rejoices in
them. The saddle bag cushions still ex-
list and are likely to, as they have hap
PLY solved the tidy problem. Those
wretched things. abhorred by mankind,
are gone, it is hoped, never TO return
But having hung the saddle bags over
the backs of our chairs, there must still
be cushions galore for window seats,
couches, corners, to fit in uncomfortable
angles-cuShionS unlimited and Of every
variety. The melon cushion looks rather
pretty if it is well made. but the acorn
cushion is newer and is being shown at
the art shops. This, which is of course
many times the size of its forest proto-
type, has the acorn of pale green silk
and the cup of darker green. which is
put on rather full and sewed down in
spots to give the raised, uneven look of
nature.
Another pretty combination of the
acorn is reddish brown plush and pale
yellow silk. a loop is sewed for the stem
to take hold by. These well defined
shapes, however, cannot be recommend
ed as satisfactory for general wear.
Plain, square, oblong, oval or round
cushions last longer in every way, and
can be so different in material and deco
ration as TO supply the needed variety.
White silk cushions wrought in gold
embroidery are used in very dainty
apartments, but their dehcacy hardly
fits them for cushion service. -Ex-

Serious Graduation Question Settled

For years past this question has been

This year the factions began their
fighting early and the fight has been a
close one. Some of the arguments used

many cases unique. One Of the gradu-

The Latest Mourning Fad.

Of all the fashionable fads of this

domestic grief which shows itself in a

lous. Fashionable New York will soon

Mon Like Anrnns.

It is funny thing, bat ali men like
aprons. There is a something house
wifely about them that suggests good
dinners and sweet, conSderate care.
The coquette thoroughly understands
this, and every season finds her armed
with an apron or two with which she in
tends to quell mankind. The latest one
is made of mummy cloth, quite plain,
and gathered in at the waist to broad
sash that is tied at the back. At the
bottom are bands of scarlet, blue and
green ribbon, arranged just as are the
bands of color on the apron of a Roman
contadina. No faint colors must be
chosen, but just such healthy tones as
the dark haired, dark eyed Italian peas
ant would select as becoming to her
