Women Affected.

20 years old, daughter-in-law of Mrs.

Hattie Rhoades, 20 years old, stunned
slightly. According to the story of Miss
Hattie Rhoades, the three women were
sitting around the table, all frightened at
the storm.
"After several flashes of lightning and
peals of thunder" she said, 1--WE were
all thrown 10 the floor with one of the
most awful sensations imaginable and
were stunned both by the shock and the
fall. Suddenly came the flash, and then
everything turned dark, and thought

der followed close upon the bolt.

day a lecture which was favorably re-
ceived by large and fashionable audi
ence in Saratoga. N. Y, and a part of
which in the form of paper was read
before the Presbyterian ministers OF
Baltimore, and was heard with commen-
dation on the part of that body.
The subject Of the lecture was 1.-The
Attractiveness of a Cultivated Voice.
He gave briei description Of the voice
producing apparatus, and said there
was a sense in which the tongue is our
glory, and the voice and the ear are the
daughters of music, for one makes the
music and the other receives it. He
spoke of the variety of voices. and how
their tones lnger in the memory, and
recall the speaker years after they are
uttered. He spoke of the power Of voices
over vicious ANIMALS, and turbulent men,
and closed with a few suggestions as 10
the development and preservation OF the
voice.
At the close of the lecture which was
well received by good audience for an
extremely warm day. DIR Williams was

PRICE ONE GENT;
DAMAGE TO CADETS QUARTERS.
A Midnight Fire At The Naval Academy
Good Work By EmplOyees-Damage
Estimated At 500.

Residents OF Mary land avenue, COR
lege avenue. Prince George street and
other streets leading to the Naval Acad-
emy, were rudely awakened last night
by loud voices and hurrying feet OF work
men, marines and employees OF the Ma
val Academy. who were speeding past in
response TO loud blasts from the siren
steam whistle at the Academy. which
shrilly sounds the alarm Of FIRE.
About so o'clock the corporal OF
of the guard. while making his rounds.
discovered fire in the wing of the cadets
quarters. near the hospital. He saw a
light in the building, and knowing il was
untenanted, he gave the alarm of FIRE.
The officers living near quickly respond
ed and with buckets and hose, held the
fire in check until the fire department
arrived on the scene and extinguished
the flames.
The cause OF the fire is somewhat
shrouded IN mystery, but is thought TO
have originated from defective electric
wire, or to have been struck by light
ming during the severe storm which pass
ed over this city last night. Another
theory is that workmen about the build
ing yesterday may have dropped a spark.
which smouldered until the fire was dis
covered. A hole 4xo feet was burned in
the floor between the first and second
stories OF the building.
Later report says the cause OF the fire
was due to an overheated electric stove.
The building was flooded with water
and the damage from this source is said
to be between $500 and $500. A large
crowd quickly assembled at the fire. and
too much credit cannot be given the
employees and marines from Camp Vain
wright, mile away, who quickly re-
sponded and did effective work.

DENMARK NOT THREATENED
American Negotiations Proceeding II
Amicable Manner.

American Negotiations Proceeding In
Amicable Manner.
WASHINGTON, March s. - Emphatic
denial is given at the state department
to the statement published in London
newspaper to the effect that the United
States government has addressed a note
'almost threatening in tone'' to the
Danish government, declaring that it
will not permit transfer of the Danish
West Indies to any foreign power.
1t is said at the department. that the
United States government has not at
any stage in the present negotiations
relative to the transfer of the islands,
nor at any time in the past when SINH
lar negotiations were afOot, threatened
Denmark or attempted in any way to
bring pressure to bear upon her, and
the negotiations at Washington have
been conducted in the most amicable
spirit on both sides.
OF course the Danish government is
aware that the Monroe doctrine is cher
ished by the department of state, but
the application of this doctrine to the
transfer of sovereignty by one European
nation of it's holdings in America to an
other European nation has been allowed
to remain a matter of Indifference.
When the Danish cabinet can succeed
in securing the approval of the Danish
people to the alienation of this territory
and is willing to accept the price offered,
treaty will be speedily arranged for
submission to the congress at its next
session.
