CADET FITCH OPERATED UPON.
DR.. Tiffanys Skill Again sucCessful-The
Patient Reported Resting Well.

Naval Cadet K. o. Fitch, member
of the fourth class at the Naval Acad-
emy. was successfully operated upon last
night at the naval hospital for appendi-
citis. The operation was performed by
DR.. L. Mclean Tiffany. Baltimore's well
known surgeon. Cadet Fitch has been
sick for several days, and on Monday his
mother was telegraphed for. Her home
is in Boston, Mass, which city she left
almost Immediately on receiving the tele-
gram, 10. 80 o'clock Monday night, ar
irving here on Tuesday afternoon. 1t
did not take the mother heart long to
grasp the gravity of the situation on see
ing her very ill boy. She at once sought
the aid of an experienced and skillful
surgeon, and DR.. Tiffany was sent for.
He arrived here last night from Balti-
more, and performed the necessary oper-
alton for appendicitis on Cadet Fitch at
the Naval Academy hospital. DR.. Tif-
fany was assisted by DIR. A. M. ID. Nc
Cormick, of the Naval Academy and
DIR. w. c. Claude, of this city. The
operation was successful and the cadet is
doing as well as could be expected under
the circumstances. Young Fitch is very
popular, both in the Academy and in the
city. He is a scholar and athlete, and
rows the second boat crew. He is re-
ported resting well today. DR.. Tiffany
also operated on w. L. Burnett in Balti-
more yesterday morning. Burnett is a
former cadet and is now a candidate for
the Naval Academy.

Progress of Work at The Naval Academy.

~AAS
With the advent of good weather the
work of constructing the magnificent
group of buildings for the Naval Acad-
emy is being prosecuted with rush. 1t
is expected the armory will be completed
by October next, when the new academic
year begins. Much other work will be
hurried through during the spring, sum-
mer and autumn. The boathouse, which
is the wing opposite the armory. will
hardly be finished for year to come.
and the construction of the building for
cadets quarters has not begun, except
excavating for the foundations. This
building. 63o feet long, forming the GEN.
ter of the group and extending from the
armory to the boathouse, will occupy the
builders fully two years from date. II
will be one of the largest buildings in the
country, stretching clear across what was
formerly the parade grounds, facing the
bay. The old mansion, formerly the
official residence of the Governors OF
Maryland and now used as library
building, will be converted into a resi-.
dence for the superintendent of the Naval
Academy.

Who Read The Postal Card-Unique Method
of Graduation Objected to
Dead Man
Not long ago postals were sent to illit
crate Republicans, which read like this:-
1--WE understand that you cannot read or
write. We have opened a school for
illiterates, and would like to have you
join.' &c. Now everybody wonders
how on earth the man who could not
read nor write could read this postal.
-
There is a school for illiierates not far
away that has adopted unique method
of instruction. Letters of the alphabet
are printed on cards about the size ct
blocks that children sometimes learn their
A, B C's from. When pupil can throw
out the letters on table, around which
the school is seated, which spell the word
Republican. the pupil is graduated
from the school.
"Where are you going = was the
query of little boy last night on Glou-
cester street not tar from ST. Mary's K. c.
Church. The question was directed to
little girl who was speeding in the direc-
tion OF the church, and who replied: 81
am going to the May Procession. "How
much do they charge to 60 in p was the
next question asked, but not until the one
questioned was out of hearing. Poor
child He did not know that it costs
nothing TO GO to church to see a May
procession. There is charge OF admis-
sion to almost every thing in this world,
and the little childish mind had not yet
grasped the situation that entrance to a
church is free.
A stranger strolled into a West street
drug store few days ago, and after pur-
chasing and lighting a cigar, loitered
around for a while, when he suddenly
asked the proprietor "Do you own
the lot adjoining this property in the
rear z The proprietor replied that he
did. Then came the next question which
nearly laid the druggist out fiat. "Would
you have any objection TO dead man
being placed in your yard :" The drug
gist grew indignant and replied with zest:
"Why certainly | would. There is an
undertaker's shop not far away. sup
pose there would be no objection to plac-
ing dead man in that yard, or two OF
them, for that matter, but, sir, you can't
place any dead man in my yard. See
ing he was misunderstood. the stranger
went on to explain that "dead man
was only a post to which to tie rope
used as support for hosting the mas
sive granite stones to the top OF the new
postoffice, now in process OF building.
To this sort OF "dead man" the drug
gist had no objection, and the "dead
man" was forthwith "burisd" in his ard.
