Some Clever Hits By The Boys Of 1901

Humorous Pres

The class OF 1901 of St. Johns College
was this morning grouped upon the ros-
trum in Mcdowell Hall to hold its class
day exercises. While the auditorium OF
the hall was crowded with sympathetic
friends, ready to laugh with the class
prophet and presenter, or to sigh with
the class poet over the inevitable sepa.
aration. Above the rostrum, suspended
from the gallery, hung mock class
shield, 1t consisted OF a white field, in
the center of which was brown spade.
Emblazoned on the spade in white letters

THE NAVY CHAPEL
TO COST $4OO,OOO.
An EnOrmus Sum For Place of Worship For
Naval Cadets.

Naval Cadets.
Evidently church worship in naval cir
cles comes high along with all the rest
of naval grandeur. as il is proposed TO
build chapel in the Naval Academy
to cost $500. coo. Perhaps the magnih-
cence OF this place of worship within the
Academy walls may even induce the
Roman Catholic cadets to worship there,
as do the cadets OF all other denominations
in the city, save three or four Presby-
terian cadets who stand by their colors.
The proposed chapel at the Naval
Academy, to cost S4oo, 900 when COM
pleted, is believed by many naval men
entirely out OF proportion TO the require
ments of the school, and the opinion is
expressed that there must have been
some mistake in allotting so large sum
for an edhce for only 200 naval cadets.
The present chapel is modest red
brick building that probably did not
cost more than Sac, 900, and its seating
capacity is four times that at present
necessary for the cadet corps. No one
at the Navy Department seems to know
who asked tor so much money for a
chapel and why one for S4oo, 900 is re-
garded as necessary. Secretary Long
says he did not know the chapel would
cost so much. and the legal department
OF the navy has no knowledge apparently
on the subject.
Ernest Flagg, New York architect,
seems to have entire charge Of the build
ings, and in approving his plans Con-
gress may unwittingly have provided
s4oo, 900 without realizing the sum seem
ed excessive.
All the churches in Annapolis COM
bined, it is contended by naval men. did
not cost as much as the new Naval Acad-
emy chapel will under the present ar
rangemeut. Its dome will be lofty and
graceful design. and there is to be mag
nificent interior decorations.

THK OLDEST LITERARY SOCIETY 0F
ST. JOHNS COLLEGE
Celebrates It's Thirty Third Birthday Rev
7. F. Willes, of Groom, Md, The
Orator of The Evening
The Alumni In
Evidence.


Mcdowell Hall was filed last night
from rostrum to door with an audience
who had gathered there to assist the
Philokalian Literary Society OF St. John S
College in celebrating its thirty third an
niversary. The program, which was
good one, was interspersed throughout
with music by the Sextette U. 5. Naval
Academy Band.
An address of welcome was made by
the president of the Society, Mr.. Oscar
b. Coblentz. Mr.. Andrew H. Krug, of
the class of 'oI, delivered an Grafton on
"The independent Press" the subject
matter of which was excellent, and It was
delivered in a good voice. Mr.. krug
spoke of the partisan and non-partisan
newspaper Of the day; of its influence on
public mind for veal or woe. and he ex-
toled the independent press, which is mo
partys tool, no rich mans parasite.
His oration was well received.
An essay was read by Mr.. G.. Franklin
Wisner, whose subject was Friendship.
DIR. Fell, president of the college, intro
duced the orator OF the evening, the
Rev. F. T. Willes, of Groom, Md. DIR.
Fell said it always gave him pleasure to
see the alumni back to the college.exer-
cises of commencement week, and this
year he was especially pleased to see SO
many OF the alumni present, and seated
on the rostrum. The speaker whom he
was about to introduce, he said, was one
of the earliest classes 10 graduate after
he (Dr. Fell) took charge.
The Rev. F. T. Willes' subject was
"The Beautiful AS An Ideal. He said
in part "Coleridge tells us that the old
definition of beauty in the Roman school
was multitude in unity, and there is nc
doubt that such is the principle OF beauty
From this definition we see that beauty
is not such superficial thing as we are
prone at first to consider. We may mag
inc that the founders OF this society 1T they
gave the name) would not have giver
one which tells of such grand ideal a.
the seeking after the desire, the love o
the beautiful, if they for a moment en-
tanned the thought of its having super
fciality."
The speaker ventured to deny tha
''beauty is but skin deep" He sale
"beauty is heart deep, it is soul deep, I
is heaven deep" The address contained
beautiful thoughts. we'll expressed. Ate
the literary exercises an informal hoI
was held in the gymnasium. There wer'
twenty -four dances on the programme
excellent music, fine floor, and bevl
of beautiful girls in lovely gowns. Th'
cool evening made the night an ideal on
for dancing. The Philokalians are to b
congratulated on the success OF thei
| celebration.

Tried in North Haven Saturday-More
Developments Expected.
The trial of w. l.. Lineweber, OF
North Haven, charged with selling IL
uuor without a license at his house on
the North Haven cycle path, was held
before Justice Austin in North Haven
Saturday afternoon. He was found
guilty and fined $40 and costs.
Lineweber is the man who charges
that early in the summer Constable
Larkins of North Haven, called at his
place. begged for a bottle of beer and
then demanded $50 to refrain from
bringing prosecution. Lineweber claims
that he paid the money and that the
constable accepted it,
The Lineweber case has been down
for trial for some time, but has been
several times postponed because of the
alleged inability of Larkins to appear
as witness because of illness.
Larkins appeared Saturday, however,
and in his examination said that he had
taken a check from Mr.. Lineweber and
that he still had the check He said
that he took it as evidence. No prose-
cutioh was ever brought as result OF
any information which he presented,
but he alleged on the stand Saturday
that he had made complaint to Grand
Juror Brockett but that the latter had
refused to prosecute.
After the trial Saturday Mr. Lineweb-
err said he intended at once to formally
Law information against Constable Lar
kins.
Interesting developments in the case
are looked for this week.
