multitudes are learning. and at this time
when the blood is sure to be loaded with
impurities and to be weak and sluggish

Ii Time D! Peace

The repeated revefses experienced by
our British cousins in their conflict With
the sturdy Beers on the banks Of Tugela
and Kopjes OF Natal. may rightly to some
extent be attributed to the failure Of heed
ing the precept inculcated by that sage
and well-founded adage. .'ln time Of
peace prepare for war. We will not
just now. however, enter into discussion
as to whose shoulders the fault may be
thrust upon. but will draw at the object
lesson derived from the subject at hand
II is not directed at nations alone but is
equally applicable to every living indi-
vidual in ordinary civic life as a splendid
guide to success.
And may it be understood right here

let ourselves BE- caught mapping BY gentle
Spring on its prospective arrival. AS
usual. we are going to be in the lead and

N THE SOCIAL WH|RL.
Closing Days Of The Social Season In
Annapolis.

OiVsinS lays VI 4nc oOCtal season III
Annapolis.
A number of young men in town will
give hop at the Assembl, Rooms to-
night.
A number OF children from the Naval
Academy enjoyed dance at the Assem-.
bly, Rooms Saturday afternoon in honor
of Master Robert Belknaps birthday.
Mrs. Robert Moss entertained a few
young friends on Saturday night at an
informal card party in honor OF her sis
ter. Miss Olive Boone. OF Baltimore.
The musical tea" given by the Misses
Randall on Saturday afternoon was a
charming success. and was literally pa
tronized by cadets and large number
Of society folk.
There will be an informal hop at St.
Johns College tonight. the last before
Lent. The hop will begin promptly a,
2. 30 o'clock. and end at 10 O'Clock, on
account Of being week night, and the
students have to study.
The Naval Academy hop Saturday
night practically closed the social season
until after Lent. rhe dance was largely
attended. Notwithstanding the stormy
night. Mrs. Magruder. wife of Lieut..
Magruder, received with Cadet Charles
p. Snyder, of the first class. Mrs. Ma
gruder was handsomely gowned in white
and carried American Beauties roses.
Tomorrow night will mark the first
appearance of Miss Madge Lyons. the
mandolinis., in this city, and it is caus-
ing more than usual interest among the
music lovers of Annapolis because. aside
from being well known socially. Miss
Lyons has won reputation for herself
in many OF the larger cities OF the east
by her reci.als upon the mandolin. Miss
Lyons will be assisted by some Of the
best concert singers in Baltimore. in
cluding Miss Edith Stowe, a beautiful
rich contralto, who has never appeared
in Annapolis, and Mr.. Edwin Newbold,
powerful tenor, who has large follow
Ing here from recent concerts he has
sung in.
With tomorrow nights mandolin re-
cital at the Opera House ends the pre-
Lenten festivities, and all will be quiet
in society for the next forty days. during
which her vstaries will don sack-cloth
and ashes. Society's doors will close
upon pleasure. gayety frivoli'y for forty
long days. Most everybody welcomes
the change. and needs the rest. and will
gladly observe Lent in the abstinence OF
pleasure. but it is hoped there is sin
cere and serious side to it as well. Let
there be some sacrifice some self-denial.
some good done to another fellow crea-
ture, and let all follow out the true spirit
OF Lenten denial. then the iorty-days'
quiet season will not have been spent in
vain.

Protest Against Removal.

Rumors that New Englanders have re-
newed efforts to have the Naval Acad-
emy removed from Annapolis have stir
red up Annapolis residents. The Annap-
oils Building and Loan Association has
appointed committee to cooperate with
a committee OF citizens to wait on the
Legislature to protest against It's removal
Located at the State capital, it is claimed
that all Maryland is interested in not
having the Academy removed from her
borders. The association unanimously
adopted resolutions thanking Congress
man Mudd for his efforts to secure liberal
appropriations for the rehabilitation OF
the Academy, and also appointed CON-
mittee Of three to draw up suitable pa
per expressing It's recognition and appre-
citation sin securing liberal appropria-
tions for the Naval Academy for the
present year and requesting his most
earnest efforts for the continuance OF such
appropriations for the future.

MANDOLIN RECITAL.
Miss Madge Lyons Secures a Noted
Baltimore Singer.

Miss Madge Lyons, the mandolin vir-
tuoso, has succeeded in securing the SER
vices OF Miss Edith Stowe, one OF the
best known singers in Baltimore, 10 ap-
pear with her in her mandolin recital and
concert 10 be given in the Opera House
tomorrow evening.
Miss Stowe has beautiful deep con-
tralto voice and sings with what so many
of our American artists lack. namely. ex-
preston. Her selections for the evening
OF the concert give her ample opportunity
TO display the beautiful quality of her
voice and her excellent range. Miss
Lyons had great trouble in securing her
for the evening. as she had been pre-
viously engaged by Signors Carlos San
chez and del Puente for their concert in
Baltimore on the same date.
Among the selections these distin-
guished gentlemen will sing is the first
act Of the opera Faust" in which Miss
Stowe was to have appeared. but as she
had never sung in Annapolis, she finally
persuade Signor Sanchez to release her
from her engagement with him and will
appear with Miss Lyons. Her numbers
on the program are Bucks beautiful solo,
..Sunset, Fasti's "My Dreams" and
the duet "Hebe" from Redding's beauti-
ful opera "Don Quixote." in which Mr..
Edwin Newbold win sing the tenor role.
Mr.. Newbold will have two new selec-
tons which he has just received from his
New York publishers and which are ex-
tremely pretty and well suited to his pow
erful voice. As has already been said,
he ~ill have the tenor role in the duet
"Hebe. Miss Lyons part of the pro-
gram. which has previously been an
nounced, embraces several of the old
masters. one or two numbers from the
modern composers and . jolly raetime
medley Of her own arrangement in which
the popular coon songs Of the day grace
fully glide into each other and rattle on
in their own merry way.

LOVE WILL FIND A WAY.

Howard D. Goodfel)oW and Miss Vesta
Clements arrived in the city last Satur-
day n applied at, the office of the clel k
of the court for a marriage license. WHICH
was refused because they We're first cous-
ms. The applicant consulted an attorney
who at first told him that he could not
marry his first cousin in the state of
Montana, but afterwards discovere thai
the old law which was in the Montana
statutes was omitted from the codifed
laws of the state, and satisfied himself
that there is no legal objection to issuing
them a marriage license and allowing the
marriage to take place. There is a differ
ence of opinion among the attorneys here
regarding this, who are of the opinion
that the laws Of the state of Montana
prohibits the marriage of first cousins,
and that there is no excuse On which a
liceuse could be issued. There will be
no test case made Of this couple, however,
for they returned from a trip to Idaho
yesterday afternoon, where they were
married without any objection on the part
of the state, as Idaho objects to, or prohi-
bits nothing.
