Inmates of The County Aims House En-
joy Ice Cream And Cake
The Guild of Mercy paid visit to the
county Aims House yesterday afternoon,
and treated all the inmates to a good
feast Of ice cream and cake. There are
sixteen inmates at the Aims House
evenly divided between white and col
ored. OF the four old ladies, two are in
very feeble health. Several of the col
ored inmates are sorely afflicted with
tuberculosis in its last stages. One is
horribly swollen. There are some in
mates who ought to be in an institution
tor the feeble minded, but as Anne Arun-
del county has no such institution, the
Aims House is the only place for them.
All the inmates seemed grateful for the
unexpected treat of ice cream and cake,
OF which they partook with enjoyment
Some of the colored folk had never
tasted the 'frozen stuff before, and did
not know what it was. The Guild of
Mercy furnished the cream and the cake
was donated through the kindness of Mrs.
Mason. 1t is hoped to give the Aims
House another treat before the summer
is over. Any kind hearted persons wish
ing to help in this charitable work may
make the fact known to the Guild OF
Mercy or leave their name at the Office

The Political Situation.

The County Convention which meets
tomorrow promises to be an interesting
one and will no doubt develope some
surprises. The Bannon combination, it
is said will control the convention, and
will work it for all it is worth. He will
deal with either faction that offers the
greatest inducement, and il is claimed to-
day that when the times comes he will
throw Wells overheard. and jump to the
State leaders faction, provided they
agree to his terms, which is more than
likely. Everything appears to be at sea
today, and no one has any idea who
will be the candidates. II is evident,
however, that the State leaders are using
every effort to carry the day.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enerva,ing days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke, as if the Day of F ire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned; and this leads us to say, in the
interest of the less robust OF our readers,
that the full effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is such as to suggest the propriety of CALI
ing this medicine something besides a
blood purifier and tonic,-say, a sustain
ing diet. 1t makes it much easier to bear
the heat, assures refreshing sleep, and
will without any doubt avert much sick.

Heartburn.

When the quantity of food taken is too
large or the quality too rich, heartburn is
likely to follow, and especially so if the
digestion has been weakened by const-
patton. Eat slowly and not too freely of
easily digested food. Masticate the food
thoroughly. Let six hours elapse between
meals and when you feel fullness and
weight in the region of the stomach after
eating, indicating that you have eaten too
much, take one of Chamberlain Siom-
ach and Liver Tablets and the heartburn
may be avoided. For sale by Feldmeyer

Commander Wainwright, commandant
of the Naval Academy, under date or
July 20. has made the following reply to
the Navy Department. inquiry concern
ing the use OF Maclay's history
Having seen so much in the papers
in regard TO the third volume OF Maclay's
Naval History, and having received,
also, an official letter from you in possess
ion OF a full knowledge of the case as
existing at the Naval Academy. There
has been no proposition to adopt this
third volume as a textbook or reference
book, either from head of department OF
English, the academic board or any per-
son within my knowledge.
There is no intention here of requir-
ing the cadets TO study the history of
such events as in the Spanish-American
War, and their time is too limited to re-
quire them to study full volume on any
one war. Maclay's Naval History was
adopted with the consent of the depart
ment, in 1895. when the English course
here was extended bevond its former
limits. This intention not to adopt the
third volume of Maclay's History is en-
tIrely apart from any consideration of its
value as history of the war, or OF the
knowledge of the facts and criticisms
contained therein. do not know of a
copy OF the third volume at the Naval
Academy 4"

in the newspapers about certain object
ionable chapters in the history, called
the attention of my aide. Lieutenant Ben
nett, to the matter and he says that he
read the proofs, but that | could not
criticise them because the language was
too immoderate. 1t was a long time
ago that read these proofs, and | do
not remember what they said about the
battle, about Schley or anyone else. /
presume they contained the same state
ments as are now embodied in the his
tory. | have read the history OF the
navy written by Mr.. Maclay and con-
slider the account of my campaigns a
very good one. About the rest of it l

MACLAY HISTORY RECEIVES
REAR-ADMIRAL SIMPSONS EN-

Captain Clark, Of The Oregon Says The
Brooklyn Was Struck By More Shells
Than All The Other Ships In

ent Wainwright's
LATTER

Captain Charles +. Clark. who COM
manded the Oregon at Santiago, was
questioned yesterday as to the statement
regarding the effectiveness OF the Brook
lyn in the fight made by Rear-Admiral
Schley in a published interview. The
Admiral was quoted as saying that the
Brooklyn inflicted So per cent. of the
damage done TO the Spanish feet and re-
ceived 81 per cent. OF the damage sus-
tanned by the American feet. Captain
Clark said
"The exact amount OF damage she sus-
tanned am not prepared to say, but she
was struck by more projectiles than all
our other ships put together. With re
gard to the damage inflicted by the
Brooklyn Captain Clark said Taking
the action from beginning to end, she
was in position to do much more damage
than any other ship OF the squadron ex-
cept the Oregon. But as her battery
was not so heavy as that OF the battle
ships, do not see how she could have
inflicted as much damage as Admiral
Schley states.

out:
"By gum, say Believe I'll remain.
Certainly, so you've said" answer
