Troubles Of Nary Line and stan.

Mr.. w. p. Clason, of Annapolis, says
that the statements made as to the du-
ties of line officers of the navy are mis-
leading, especially that part of the arti-
Gle which described the line as "caTl ylng
on the general ornamental duty of the
ship" Mr.. Clason thinks 'there is no
need for fight between the line and staff,
but if there is to be warfare it should be
honest and above board and not involve
slander and misrepresentation" He says
that the corps which endeavOrs to win
distinction and honor at the general ex-
pense of the navy's efficiency will in the
end be crushed by the popular indigna-
tion when the time of disaster comes.
Another gentleman, who is well quail
fled to speak on the subject, said The ar
ticle was calculated to deceive the people
and to create an altogether false i'm
preston. "Line officers. he said. "are
the only officers who are trained and COM
peteht to handle the guns and toTpedoes,
10 direct their fire and to drill the men
for their work with arms Of all kind
when in action, aflOab or ashore. Line
officers plan battles and decide whether
they shall be fought or not. Every de-
cision that affects the management of
fleets and command that affects the issue
of battle is given by line Office. The
line, y he added, s'haS always been Oh the
defensive in these sO-called line-and-staff
quarrels. It's policy has always been to
avoid aggressive measures and simply To
oppose harmful measures formulated by
the staff. -

Commissioners of the Land once

Some near friends of the Governor say
he will reappoint Philip u. Laird, of
Montgomery county, as commissioner of
the land Office in recognition of the inde-
pendent democrats who gave support to
the republican ticket in the sixth con-
gressional district. 1t is stated that the
appointment would be agreeable to Mr..
Wellington. Senator-elect. 1t is said it
would be agreeable to Judge David w.
Sloan, and that Congressman john X.
Cowan has exerted his influence with the
Governor in behalf of Mr.. Laird. If
these are straight tips, and there is no
reason to doubt the source of informa-
tion. Mr.. Laird's case will show pretty
clearly how the cat is jumping. Daniel
Randall, of this city, is said to be an APP
plicant for the Office also.

South Before the War.

Patrons of the Opera House will have
for them treat i'll store in the shape of
Whallen and Martell's mammoth pro-
duction "SOuth Before the War, which
VIII appear at that house on Saturday
afternoon and night. This is play
that will take our older inhabitants over
the road of the buried past to the time
when the darkies' dOinRs on the planta-
ton were proverbial. The piece is made
up of four parts; a plantation as it ap-
peared in the midst of cotton picking
scene; a landing on the Mississippi river
at which the famous old river craft,
Robert K. Lee arrives, loaded with the
staple on its way to the Crescent City.
The next scene depicts camp-meeting
held on Frog Island; also an old time
cake walk. In all of these scenes sing
ing, dancing and in fact everything that
a fun loving darkey can do is done to
amuse the audience. The company pro-
ducing this interesting play is composed
of some fifty odd people including pick
aninny band of seventeen little darkies
who appear in several scenes of the play
and also head the parade of the company
which starts from the Opera House at
II o'clock noon.

dent Cleveland.
The first State dinner was given at the
Executive Mansion last evening by Gov
eruor Lowndes in honor of the Judges of

was a brilliant affair. The most inter-
esting feature of the affair was that MIR.
Columbus Q. Baldwin, of New York, a
navive Of Anne Arundel county and a
close personal friend of the Governor,
was designated to respond to the toast to
.sThe President of the United States
and paid a high compliment to Mr.. Cleve-
land. His remarks, he was careful TO
premise, were not intended to have any
political significance, but were inspired
by his personal admiration for the Presi-
dent. He said he was proud to do honor
to so great man. He added: 'The
President of the United States at this
time needs no one to speak for him, and
/ scarcely feel myself competent to do
so. He lives Iii the hearts of all present,
/ am sure, and is respected by the nation.
/ think can venture to say that no man
in time Of peace has done more toward
good government and for the American
people than Grover Cleveland. Itwould
be serious calamity if any misfortune
should befall him at this time
Judge Bryan responded to toast to
the Court of Appeals. Gov. Lowndes
sat at the head of the table, which was
decorated with State eOloTs and brilliant
ly lighted with candelabras and lamps
covered with yellow shades, yellow being
the prevailing color. Surmounting the
glass centre-piece, which was also deco
rated in yellow, were ''scales of justice"
in.compliment to the judiciary. The APP
pTopriate design was composed of smilax,
ferns, pearl roses and carnations, and was
the feature OF the floral decorations. -
The table was decorated with other
choice flowers.
Mrs. Lowndes wore handsome gown
of gray brocade, pink satin front, trim
med i'm Brussels point; Mrs. Crawford
Black wore black satin and point lace;

on the Subject


on the Subject
The Rev. DR.. Robert II. Williams, OF
Hyland Park, Baltimore, formerly pas
tor Of the Presbyterian Church, Of this
city, writes to the Baltimore Ners on
the question Of libraries in the counties
which is now before the General Assem-
bly,, as follows:
The efforts 20 secure libraries in the
county towns rs nos raid upon the
treasury, for the NEST careful guardian
Of the public fundscan see that Il secures
a great and permanent benefit 10 small
cost, and that there need not be the waste
of u single dollar, even IL it should fail
after Al few years N any county.
The ten years IN which this money IL
proposed 10 be given are period Of edn-
cation in the use and love Of books. The
history of most public libraries has shown
that they have grown rs the peoples de-
sire for them has increased a commu-
nifty without many books viii be slow
IN appreciating the benefit OF u public
library, but there are some persons who
will grow in their fondness for books rs
they enjoy the use of them. The inilu-
ence of these persons will be contagious
and will reach far and wide.
"a few public-spirited men in the
counties, wishing to see their communi-
ties advancing knowledge, ,can do much
to foster and increase fondness for the
public library. A library is something
that Crews in sizeand in influence. While
serving the present generation il is some
thing pIe-eminently for the future. IL
may become the most out,looking and
forward.loolSing institution under State
or municipal control.

SHOT A BURGLAR.

A store Robbed and = Man Wounded.
About $50 yesterday morning burg
lars entered the store of Osborne S. Pum-
phrey, at Marley Station, Anne Arundel
county.
Philip Pumphrey, son of the proprie-
tor, was returning home from party
when he noticed one of the windows of
the store open. He ran TO his father s
house, which is 400 yards away. and gave
the alarm. Pumphrey the elder and his
son armed themselves with shotguns and
returned TO the store. Just as they
reached the rear door they saw two men
running away, and st the same time
heard wagon being driven of toward
Baltimore. Osborne Pumphrey says be
took steady aim at one man fired. He
heard cry and the wagon came to a
standstill for an instant. He heard 1t
start again and it was soon beyond-rea
He believes that he wounded one of the
burglars and that the other helped the
wounded man on the wagon.
Returning to the store Pumphrey found
that il had been rifled of a considerable
portion of the stock Tobacco, cigars,
shoes, underwear, soap anu tea had been
taken.
About 10 O'Clock yesterday morning
Rouud-Sergeant Peter Riley, of the
Southern district, Baltimore, saw ne
gro trying to sell some shoes to a second
hand dealer on South Howard street,
III that city. He arrested the man on
suspicion and took him to the station
house. He gave his name as Henry
Wallace. and sald he lived ut 225 South
Sharp street, Baltimore. In bag which
he carried were found four pair OF shoes.
six shirts, two boxes of cigars, bundle
of towels, three suits of underwear, q
quantity of soap and several other arti.
cles, all valued at S2l. In the meantime,
Mr.. Pumphrey had sent word to the
Southern Police Station that his store
had been robbed. When Sergeant Riley
arrested his man word was sent TO Mr..
Pumphrey and he went to the station
house ana identified the goods as his
property. The negro Wallace acknowl-
edged the theft, but denied that there
was anyone with him when he committed
the burglary. Mr.. Humphrey, however,
is confident that there were three in the
store, and feels confident the shot from
his gun struck one of them.
