The Spirit Of Winter.

The Spirit OF Winter is with US. maxi
ing its presence known in many different
ways-sometimes by CHEEKY sunshine
and glis,ening SHOWS, and sometimes by
driving winds and binding storms. To
mauy people it seems to take delight
in making bad things worse. for rheuma-
tism twists harder. twinges sharper, ca
tarrah becomes more annoying, and the
many symtoms of scroiula are developed
and aggravated. There is not much poe
try in this, but there is Truth, and it is a
wonder that more people don't get rid OF
these ailments. The medicine that cures
them Hoods Sarsaparilla-is easily OBJ
tanned and there is abundant proof that
its cures are radical and permanent.

VISITS NAVAL ACADEMY.
LOOKING AFTER IMPORT
ANT NEEDS.
Congressman Sydney E. Mudd Outlines A
Plan Which Will Be Of Extreme
Interest To The National
Naval Institution.


As noted in yesterday 5 CAPITAL, Con-
gressman Sydney Z. Mudd visited this
city yesterday. The chief object OF his
visit was to call upon Delegate Smoot, oi
Charles county, who is quite i'll at his
boarding house in this city.
Delegate Smoot comes from Congress
man Mudd' 5 district. After calling upon
bis friends, Congressman Mudd visited
the Naval Academy and called upon Su-
perintendent Wainwright TO confer with
him upon the needs OF the institution, in
Which the Congressman from the Fifth
District has always manifested such
great interest.
Congressman Mudd has recently in
troduced bill appropriating $500. 900
for the erection and equipment OF a steam
heating and power plant, and said yes
terday that he expected it would pass
shortly. Mr.. Mudd wished also to see
the Superintendent as to whether or not
It was necessary to procure additional
land tor another enlargment of the Naval
Academy and TO confer generally with
the Superintendent as to the needs OF the
Academy. 1t is Mr.. Mudd's intention
TO push through whatever may be neces-
sary to make the new Naval Academy
absolutely complete.
Mr.. Mudd outlined a plan which will
b. of extreme importance to the Naval
Academy and to every interest OF An
nlpolis. He said that he was endeavor-
ing TO have transferred to the House of
Representatives Committee on Naval Al
fairs, OF which he is chairman. the matter
of the deepening of the Annapolis harbor,
on the ground that it is necessary to the
usefulness OF the Naval Academy, and, f,
therefore, within the scope OF that COM
mittee. Although fairly large vessels,
such as monitors and protected cruisers,
Can come into the harbor, such craft as
bltleships and armored cruisers do not
come into the harbor for fear of running
aground, and also large merchant ships
are afraid OF the tortuous channel. Ii is
necessary for the complete training of
the cadets that some idea of the former
BE- given them, and TO this end Mr.. Mudd
will press the matter along this line.

recently sent correspondent to Rou-

letter from its representative in which
he says that in Roumania the laws are
fair, but there is crying injustice in
their application, or rather their nom
application, TO the Jews. These Jews,
he writes, are prosecuted not on account
of their religion, but because if they
are naturalized and treated justly they
wouldsown half the land and in short,
run" the country.
The correspondent declares that a
large number Of Roumanian deputies
derive large portions of their incomes
from heavy bribes on the condition that
they will help Jews to obtain natural
ization papers.
