OF the reported action of the members
of the Chicago Ambulance Corn. in
taking IN arms in the Boer army. in
stead of continuing with the hosnital

selves upon leaving the United Stotns
Apparently the Portuguese authori-
ties at Lorenzo Marques had doubts nc

Tor the party was detained many dave

have declared that certain members of
the party We're known to her and ho-
leved to be going under true colors.
The officials here say that no;hinr

vent such violations of faith as aro ra

not fulfill the legal description of n

enabled the United States authorities
to prevent their departure. Similarly
the Portuguese authorities proba bIv
found themselves obliged 10 let the nm

Portuguese to take n different view of
their obligations. Portuguese South

Ice In The Cutters.

City Commissioner Sullivan is having
his ups and downs just now with quaint.
ties OF ice in the cutters. which large
forces of men are employed in breaking
up and removing. Much of the ice ac-
cumulates in the neighborhood Of saloons
and bar-rooms. and much of it comes
from the habit some people have of leav-
ing the hydrants in their houses open al
night to let the water run and so prevent
it from freezing in the pipes. Such water
running out into the streets freezes on the
sidewalks and cutters. making walking
both difficult and dangerous and usually
resulting in the blockading Of the cutters
with solid ice. Letting the water run all
night was simply an evidence Of laziness
on the part of the housekeepers. Turning
of the water before going to bed IS just
as effective. and would prevent the mass.
ing Of ice in the streets on cold days.

Main Street Wants Cleaning

Main street is disgrace to the town.
1t is dirty and filthy and looks as though
it has not been swept for month. some
thing should be done at once to put all
of the streets OF Annapolis in clean,
presentable condition before Wednesday
the day of Governor-elect Smiths in
auguration. Annapolis does not want a
crowd of strangers 10 go away and dis
seminaie the news of her being number
ed among the dirty cities of Maryland.
The street cleaning force has been
busy the past week cutting Ice out of the
cutters, everybody knows, but better
let the ice stay-it will melt these warmei
days-and clean the streets. especially
Main street the principal thoroughfare.
