NEW CROP OF DEWEYS
ANNAPOLIS GRADUATES or ,9s ARE
ALL SEASONED VETERANS.

Each Cadet Has Seen Active Service
and Has Learned the Art of Sea
Fighting In the Grim school Of
War.
Annapolis has just furnished Uncle
Sam with 46 fighting naval officers.
They comprise the class OF 80 and were
recently graduated at the Naval acad-
envy. Every one of them has seen active
wartime service and has the experience
which such service brings.
Never before In the history of the An-
napolis Naval academy has sue a class
been turned out in time OF peace as that
of THE Fighting Double Mines, Dur
ing the civil war eyen the two year
cadets were given their diplomas pre-
nAturely and sent to sea, but since thai
time Uncle Sam has made his embryo
naval officers stand the four years test.
The recent large additions which have
been made to the number of our fight
ing ships has created a demand for off,
GERS for which there was no supply, and
so these cadets of '99 have had their
senior year cut short by a whole term
and have been given assignments afioat.
Just about ten months ago, when war
was declared, these cadets raised a
patriotic howl of protest. They stormed
the wal department with su~pplications,
threats and e~ntreaties, all of h same
tenor, asking that they should be grad
uated at once and sent to the front.
When the department protested that
they were not prepared for graduation.
these earnest young men fell back to a
second plea and said:
Then let us go to active duty, for If
we do not we will never command the
respect Of crews that have been battle
SCARED in the service, while we have
never smelled ~gunpowder." Then,
clinchingly, they added, After the war
Is over we will return to the academy
and finish our course"
Such enthusiasm was more than the
war department could refuse, so he
cadets were sent to sea. Distributed

Famous Songs Women Have Composed
1t Is not generally known that women
have composed a majority of the well
known sentimental songs loved by men
and women. Lady John Scott gave to
the musical world "Annie Laurie" Lady
Arthur Hill is author of that charming
ballad, "In the Cleaning" and the Hon.
Mrs. Elizabeth Morton is responsible for
that dangerous melody "Juanita." Lady

to q woman, the late Mrs. Newell Martin
Of Baltimore. Mrs. Fitzgerald made the
melody of 81 Remember, ! Remember"
and the musical pathos of "Auld Robin
Gray originated in the brain Of Lady
Ann Lindsay. Lady Marine, a charming
sScotchwoman, has contributed two songs
that need only to be sung in any CLINE to

when a Girl should learn to Un1ove.
There is a time, / believe, in loves first
approach when it is not too hard to bar
the door if there is reason why it should
not stand ajar. A girl may not have to
learn to love, but she can learn to unlove
if she must. She herself must be the
Judge. If the man bring her weakness
instead Of strength, low ideals and not
high ones; If he is indolent or Incorporate
or unc1ean; if she feel that she will be

One OF the tunic home costumes was
made of graz mohair of the coarse
mesh variety. The skirt had a row of
narrow silk embroidery. ending in seal
lops a little above the bottom of the
dress. The tunic was cut all in n
piece, so that the only was in the
back. This was embroidered like the
other skirt, but the scallops came ex-
actly at the edge, with odd little lines
of looped braid standing up all the way
around. This same design was put Up
on the full front of the waist, the points
standing out like rays from the v front
hi sleeves were in clusters of tucks
from top to wrist. The tunic fitted at
the waist without seam or wrinkle, and
there was a belt made of folded cloth
like the dress. If this same design was
developed in silk or satin, it wJuld be
very elegant. Only plain goods, how
ever, would look well SO.
I must MENTION some little dresses for
small girls shown this week, SO that
mothers wanting to know the latest
may hear that there are dresses of fin
est swiss, with a few very narrow tucks
above a hem two inches wide edged
with a little fine lace ruff1e. The ruffie
should always be at least as wide as
the hem. The skirts are cut straight
and gathered at the waist. The waist
itself has short pulled sleeves and a full
gathered waist with a band around 1t
and this edged with a little lace. A
ribbon sash completes the affair. This,
I hope, makes it clear that these frocks
are low in the neck. White brussels
net without figure was used to make
three of these in different sizes, three
very narrow tucks being u in just
above the hem. which was turned So
that it was triple fold.
These dainty little dresses were
shown over slips of thin silk in white
or very light colors. A few very fine
and sheer dotted swisses were among
them, but nothing less diaphanous. The
present vogue it to have the dress reach
barely to the knees. The stockings are
to match the lining of the dress and in
plated silk. All the underwear is deli
cately rufied and trimmed, mostly with
lace.
1t is almost incredible how much lace
Is used and in how many ways besides
the adornment of woman's dress. If
one has an old fashioned coral necklace
and .'armlets" or clasps, now is the
time to bring them forth for the chill
dren, for such are of the kingdom of
fashion today.

Ticket In Ohio,

The Editor to Head the Democratic
Ticket In Ohio.
GAINESVILLE, o., Aug. 3O.-Although
the Democratic state ticket will not be
nominated till late this afternoon. the
result was decisively forecasted in the
preliminary meetings last evening. The
Mclean men carried q large majority
of the 21 congressional districts, and
will control not only the convention
but also the party machinery in Ohio
until the next presidential election.
The Mclean men are disposed TO be
liberal to their opponents. After it
was found that Mclean had at the dis
trtct meetings secured control OF all
committees many called on him last
night and promised support from un-
expected quarters Mclean and his
managers then advised that all the
candidates for governor be voted for
on the first ballot as originally in
structed, and 1t was even suggested
that there might be two ballots, so as
to give as many complimentary votes
as possible to the opposing candidates.
1t is quite probable that the name of
Mr.. Mclean will be presented TO the
convention very briefly Mr.. Mclean
does not believe much In speeches. He
says he would prefer to have his name
presented without commendation or
- word of comment General A. ].
Warner will present the name of Col
onel Kilbourne in a stirring speech
and much eloquence will be expended
on the other candidates.

At $40 o'clock this morning the FIRE de-
partment was called to the Swain building,
on North Main street. The flames were To-
Gated in the cellar of the building, where
oils and yarnishes were stored. A few
minutes work with the chemical tanks ex.
tinguished the fire. The damage did not
exceed five dollars. The only solution to the
origin of the fire thus far arrived at is that
while some varnish was being drawn from a

of Main and Lloyd streets, will be converted
into factory. 1t is admirably adapted for
the purpose, being 90 feet long, 30 feet wide
and well ventilated and lighted, having
windows on three sides. A start will be made
with six sewing machines and about a dozen
hands. The operations will begin early in
September. Mr.. Wilkinson proposes to manu-.

business. In his own words he will make
everything from calico wrapper to a
