The English Comedy Company enter
tanned an appreciative audience at Ford's
Grand Opera House last night with 'She

farce, Poor Pillicoddy." both of which
were given in excellent style. Gold
smiths delightful play affords scope for
dramatic capacity of the highest order,
and emphasizes incapacity no less strong

torious combination Of artists to bring
out its witty dialogue and fine situations
effectively, and this was done last night,

locations have so many striking adj
vantages, SO pleasant and roomy, yet
so contiguous to the heart of the
city, that they are attracting general
attention. Persons who desire safe
and valuable investments should look
this property over. And all who
want bargains in building lots ought
TO buy at once, as prices will neces-
sarily advance as the spring opens.
Purchasers can procure their lots on

For some time last night, our city was
left In total darkness, the arc lights fail
ing to show up, and those who were out
upon the street at the time had to group
their way in darkness. A lady residing
in the neighborhood of the Naval Acade-
my. while returning to her home fell
over defective pavement in the dark
ness and sprafned an ankel. This state
of affairs has gotten to be of frequent
occurrence, and Is the general remark of
our citizens. The engineer, as lady re-
marked, had sat down to rest at the cleo
trio station again. and the darkness had
come down all along where the arc lights
should have been arc lighting 1t really
does seem as If another engine is an alb
solute necessity. 1t would never do to
have these lights fail during the Session
of the Legislature. or some of our law
makers might get lost or kidnapped.

THE NAVAL ACADEMY.
Changes in Existing Statutes Rec
commended by Commodore
Ramsay

In his annual report 10 the Secretary
of the Navy. Commodore Ramsay. chief
OF the bureau Of navigation. devOtes
much attention TO the Naval Academy.
He SAYS that a large number of candi-
dates for admission 10 the Naval Acad
envy fail to pass the required mental ex-
animation. IL is believed that this is
chiefly due TO want of proper instruc-
tion and of time for preparation. Ii is,
therefore, recommended that the statu-
ties be so amended that appointments to
the Academy shall be made one year in
advance of the time of admission, as Is
now provided for appointments 10 the
Military Academy. Further changes in
existing statutes relating 10 the Naval
Academy, so as TO conform TO the laws
governing the Military Academy are
recommended, the most important being
one fixing the age for admission of cadets
between fourteen and eighteen years.
the abandonment of the two years cruise
and dismissal of the surplus graduates
Immediately upon the completion of the
fodr years course
The report says of the enlisted force:
Under the system of enlistments for
three years portion of the force allow
ed is not available for manning the fleet,
il is therefore, recommended that the
number of men of all ratings allowed for
the navy; including apprentices and boys,
be increased TO IL. 900 and that the term
of enlistment for general service extend
ed by law 10 four years.
