When engineer Dills. on rounding the curve

steam and reversed and made every effort to
stop bis train. and did slacken 1t down q
great deal before H. struck the other. He
Jumped and escaped unhurt. His fireman

Capt Lyon is busy at the warehouse weigh
Ing and shipping cotton. A mule and some
darkies at the same place are busy packing
hay. Up to this time hundreds Of bales Oh
hay have been packed. The mule which has
been employed in packing hay has two men
TO help him. He works the lever while one
man leeds the press, and the other ties the
ba les and throws them out Of the way. This
mule, unlike The average white Democrat,
does not impose the hardest work on bis Re

easy part OF the job. We are not Informed

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.
Spectacle Makers Profit BY The Act Of
The Legislature In Extra Session
Campaign Committee Look
ing Out For Those
Of Poor Sight

The election law passed at the extra
session Of the Legislature has certainly
been blessing in disguise to at least
one branch OF trade. Spectacle-makers
will profit by it.
The Republican party will have pur-
chased about one hundred gross of spec
tacles by the time election day comes 10
order that their voters who have bad eye
sight may have plenty OF facility in dim
ly lighted booths to see the names on the
tickets they will have to mark.
Already a large number Of these spec
iacles have been sent out for use in the
schools OF illiterates, and on election day
there will be about dozen pairs OF spec
tacles IN each voting precinct. They
will be OF different strengths, and will be
graded by an occulist especially for the
purposes tor which they are intended.
The Republican Campaign Committee
has found that it has large number Of
persons who see well enough under ordi-
nary circumstances not TO require the
use OF glasses,
When these same persons are put in a
badly ligh hted booth. with long list OF
names to decipher and maik properly.
tnClf CycSlkuk QOCS NOT serve tnGW Weil.
For the benefit of such as these on cleo
,ion day will be found a man at the polls
who will accommodate the voter with a
pair of glasses. As they anticipate, too.
that some OF these glasses may be re-
quested as souvenirs OF the occasion,
they have laid in what they believe to be
an ample supply. The number of spec
tacles required - 100 gross, or 400
pairs-seems to be stupendous, but it is
not believed to be too great under the
circumstances.
The glasses themselves will be of good
quality, according to Chairman Goldsbo-
rough, but the frames will be cheap.
The first knowledge that these glasses
would be needed came from schools for
the illiterates throughout the State, and
the demand for them has been steady
since these schools were inaugurated.
Many OF the older colored men have
never felt the need OF glasses because
they could not read. hut upon trying to
decipher the sample ballots, found they
we're utterly at sea.

REHABILITATING PROGRAM.
improvements At The Naval Academy
Foot Ball Oasualties-Epitome OF
Surgeon Van Reypens
RaDort

| In the report recently submitted by
| Surgeon-General Van Reypen on the
condition of the American navy, he says
in reference to the rehabilitating program,
| and the extent of improvements going on
| at the Naval Academy
EAT the close OF the year the electric
| lighting system was completed. This
represents great change, especially as
| an improvement In the artificial i!lumi-
nation has been desired for some years.
IL appears that since the electric light has
been in use there have been tewer com
plants connected with the eyes, aud now
that the visual standard tor admission TO
the academy has been raised TO the nor
NAL il is believed that troubles attribute.
bic to errors OF reiraclion will be greatly
| diminished. In the cadet rooms each
cadet student is provided with a
simple pendant overhead hgh; inclosed
in a conlcal metal Iehec,ing case, col
ored green. with bottom OF white, dull
glass. The electric system has been ex-
tended to all the buildings and grounds
and the gas plant has been raIed.'
Ot football casualties he says "Dur-
ing the iall OF the year about forty Cadets
were IN training toT the game OF football.
w nAtS SoinG thOuluCanOnS OF the rules OF
the game have 10 a certain extent dimin-
ished the chance OF injury, it is TO be
noted that the advantages OF this sport
are necessarily restricted to small per-
| centage OF the corps. There were 27 ad-
missions to the sick list during the year,
but they included only two fractures and
one luxatlon. The majority were merely
contusions. The number of sick days
was Io4, and 100 additional days were
lost from drills, principally on account
OF spTalns, OF which there were 81 cases.
The Santee continues TO be the station
ship and has also, during the coldei
months of the year, been utilized as tn,
marine barracks, that building having
been razed in connection with the work
OF constructing a new academy. The
ship is very old, and some OF the deck
are poorly ventilated. As a home io
many men it furnishes conditions not as
favorable TO continued good health as
they should be. The advisability OF the
prompt building OF suitable barracks ioI
the marines is in this connection ap-
parent.

Brick For The State Building,

AT recent meeting of the commission
having in charge the erection OF the new
State building, TO be built on the site OF
the old Pinkney house and Oliver prop
erty, bounded by College avenue, Bladen
street and State Circle, it was decided to
make no change in the contract, but to
construct the building of brick, and not
OF granite, as suggested. Therefore, the
material to be used will be brick. with
Indiana limestone for trimmings. One
reason which prompted the members to
make no change was that granite would
cost about $50. 600 more than the mate
rial selected, and would, therefore, be
greatly in excess OF the appropriation
Another reason was that granite build
ing would not be in harmony with the
character of the architecture in Annapolis.

A Blunder That Cost $25O,oOO,

A blunder has been committed by
some one which will entail an expense OF
over quarter of a million dollars on the
Government IN providing machinery OF
sufficient power TO control the great stone
dry docks building at the Portsmouth IN.
H. J. Boston, League Island and Mare
Island navy yards.
All these docks are practically of SINH
lar design and dimensions and were
planned for the heaviest warships con-
structed. The machinery to manage
them and to control the pumps was de-
signed with a horse power of 100, be.
lieved sufficient, but an error has now
been discovered in the calculations which
will necessitate the manufacture OF ma
chinery with 300 horse power.
The Government must stand the loss of
the mistake and to secure new machinery
will cost sage, 900. The docks will not
be delayed in completion, however, by
the mistake.
