Two young men, friends at school,
went to medical college together. one a
student and man of high moral pre-
ceptions, the other dawdler though
naturally bright, and not over scru-
ulous. The one graduated with high
honors, the other barely obtained his
certificate by "cribbing." Years past,
the student failed utterly of success
notwithstanding his superior knowl-
edge, his application and his high NOR
al and professional standard; that il.
be failed of financial success. He
would not swerve from honors path,
and less scrupulous practitioners gradu-
ally "froze him out" Seedy and dis
couraged, he went to large city and
there recognized the name uf his fell
low-student over the entrance to a
suite of Offices in the wealthiest dis
trict Of the town. He called upon him,
and found his Office overfowing with
patients. Discussing their careers, the
successful man said: "Will, you know
more about medicine aud surgery than
any other man of my acquaintance.

tie. But | know human nature. Hum
buggery and display attract nine men

COMMITTEE ON NAVAL AFFAIRS.
Mr.. Mudd's Appointments.

The committee on naval affairs met
Tuesday and the subcommittee were
appointed. Mr.. Mudd has been put on
the subcommittee of the Naval Acad-
emy and the marine corps. which has
jurisdiction over the Academy at Annapo
lis. He has also been appointed a men,
Der of the sub-commltte on ordnance and
navy yards. which has jurisdiction over
the new proving ground and the great
smokeless powder factory now being
erected at Indian Head, in Charles
county. His position on these two sub
committees will give MIR. Mudd ample
opportunity to provide generous appro-
priations to continue the work now in
progress. In former Congresses Mr..
Mudd was always compelled to fight the
naval committee to obtain these appro-
priations. Now, however. he himself
is a member of the committee that
reports the bill to the House, so that
hereafter he will have no difficulty.
"At the same time said Mr.. Mudd
sententiously, Tuesday evening. al will
wait for the present legislature to develop
its sentiments before takingany active
steps. There has been intimations of
some legislation that will place Mary
land in the category of vote-suppressing
states, and doubt if Republican Con-
gress will care to retain in such state
an academy where it trains its young
men to fight for the flag and for liberty.

Death of Mrs. Hutton.

After an illness of several months, Mrs.
Mary H. Hutton died last night at 7.2o
o'clock at her late residence on Glouces-
ter street. Mrs. Hutton had been in
feeble health since last May, up to which
time she was active and energetic. She
has been confined to her bed for several
months past and gradually wasting away,
until the end came last night, when she
passed peacefully away into eternal rest.
Mrs. Hutton was born September 25th,
1921, and was therefore 78 years old last
September. She was a good Christian
woman. always thoughtful of others, and
considerate and kind to those in sickness
and distress. She leaves son, Mr.. Ed
gar r. Hutton, and two daughters. Mrs.
Rose Curtin, of Montgomery county.
and Miss Kate Hutton, of this city. The
funeral will take place tom orrow after
noon at go o'clock from St. Anne's P.
z. Church, Of which the deceased has
been member for a number of years.

Mrs. L. Dorsey Gassaway and Miss

were Mrs. N. H. Green, Misses Brog-
den. Miss Duval. Mrs. Gearing. Mrs. F.
A. Munroe. Mrs. John Chew. Miss lgle-
hart and Mrs. McRay.
Society is wondering if Mrs. Smith
will have "a day" at the Executive Man
sion, and il it will be Thursday. Since
Mrs. Lowndes inaugurated Thursday as
the reception day at the Executive Man
sion. it would seem very natural to have
it continue so. However, when Mrs.
Smith becomes thoroughly Established as
hostess in the home of Maryland's Gov
ernor, she will doubtless make her days
for social functions known. In the mean
time society waits. anxiously to meet the
new Governor wife socially.

The woman was sent to one OF the hos

from the shock and the effects of the
wounds, that she was able TO appear a,
the magistrates office.
A number of witnesses were examined.
Including the victim of the shooting, and
her little nine-year-old son. The woman
refused to testity-saying she would rath-
er say nothing about the affair. Justice
Brewer told her the consequence of a
witness refusing to testify. and said he
would commit her to Jail in the sum OF
$500 bail. She, with Messrs. J. G. Gay
bill and G.. A. Baldwin, proprietors oi
the show. were each held in $500 secur.
