To the Editor of The Sunday Herald:
SIR While waiting for car this morning at
the junction of New York avenue and Ninth
street northwest, heard part of the converse
ton between the crippled Union soldier who is
the transfer agent at that point and the re-
cently-appointed superintendent of the Colum-
bia Railroad. The superintendent gave notice
that from and after Monday next the transfer
agents pay would be reduced from 80 to $S per
week / am regular rider on the road in ques-
tion and perhaps one Of its best customers, as
/ spend from 81 to 81. 80 per week in car fares.
| know that the transfer man is obliging and
efficient and that he has large and dependent
family. The proposed action of the superin-
tendent is, in my opinion, small piece of bust
ness and should be rebuked. He has, am in
formed, recently been appointed at a salary of
500 per month and has already reduced the pay
Of such employees as can't afford to rebel to
pitiful figures.
While do not believe in running business
enterprises on sentimental basis, l do believe
in fair play. If economy is necessary reduce
the wages of all, including the new superin-
tendent. But economy Is not necessary just
now on that road, as its business has greatly in
creased since the transfer system went into
effect some months ago. 1t is my purpose to
avoid the road If its managers sustain the pro.
posed reduction OF the hard-earned wages OF
the transfer man, and l suggest that working
people of every grade adopt the same course,
even at little personal sacrifice, in defense Of
deserving man and as a rebuke to the com
pany for its meanness toward its hard-working
employees. q. w. NJ.

ANNAPOLIS NOTES.

Naval Cadet Randolph, Of the fourth class,
has been granted sick leave.
Lieut. B. 7. Baling, who has been in Wash
ington during the past week attending exam
ination for promotion, has returned to the
Academy.
Passed Midshipmcn l.. A. Stafford, j. A. LIE
Jeune, and II. A. Wiley, of the class of '8S,
and three of the Samoan survivors have re-
turned to the Academy for their final examina-
ton
The many friends of the cadets will be glad
to know that that the difficulty as to the giving
of the farewell ball in the armory has been
definitely settled, the cadets being allowed to
have their own way. Everything in the way of
preparation Is now running as smoothly as
could be wished.
The cadets are looking forward to 'after
Lent" and longing for IL to come, or, perhaps,
for what will come with it. There are rumors
of a large officers hop to be given the first Sat
urday after Easter Heretofore informal hops
have been given almost every Satur-
day night from after Lent until June,
so it is but fair to presume that
such will be the case this year, though a new
administration is very uncertain thing to
count upon.
The entertainment given at the Naval Insti-
tute Hall last Saturday evening by Mr.. Brew
ster was phenomenal success. The cadets of
| all classes were out in force, as were also the
| officers of the station and their wives The
! performance consisted of number Of puZZling
sleight-of-hand tricks, many of which the oper-
! ator afterward explained, feats of ventrilO-
! quism, and an illustrated journey to Rome
! The various features were pronounced novel of
! their kind, and by far the best that have ever
been seen at the Naval Academy.

Already one week of seamanship drill hal

Naval Cadets are monuments to the naval polio,
of Uncle SAM and their only usefulness seem
to be in giving visitors an insight into the time
of 1872. However, some remarkably goot
target practice is made with these old tubes
and that with condemned powder, giving a
indication of what the cadets can do when tn
occasion arrives.
