their candidates, and but twenty-six boys
have appeared at the Annapolis Academy

that the cadets should have the benefit of
the experience at Annapolis. and on the

in the fall, 80 that there's possibility that
the department will recommend TO Con-

The son Of Major j. q. WOlseley, of the

saved almost miraeulously after months of
extreme suffering. In the Crimea, when
he was put twenty-one, he was several
times wounded.
In the trenches before Sebastopolh he was
knocked down by a solid shot striking near
him and rendered senseless, while those
about him were instantly killed. He was
picked up for dead with wounds all over
his body. The surgeons abandoned hope,
but he did not. and to his determination
and fortituds he owed his final recovery
