HICKS FOR SEPTEMBER
The Month, For The Most Part, viii Be
Warm, Ending With Severe Dash
Of Autumnal Weather.

The first storm period for September
is central on the 4th, extending from the
and to the 9TH Signs of approaching
change and storms Will appear about the
3rd the weather will grow warmer in the
west. the barometer will begin falling in
the same region. and cloudiness and rain
will follow. growing in volume as they
pass eastward. and reaching a culmina-
ting crisis from 5th TO 9TH.
Look for decided change to cooler in
the west as these storms pass eastward
the cool. clearing weather following the
storms to the extreme east. Weather
changes will come in rapid succession at
this time, but the dominant state of the
weather will be warm above the average.
The 9th, 10th and nth are reactionary
storm days. on and about which marked
storm conditions will arise. All things
considered. atmospheric and seismic per-
tubatIons OF wide and violent character
would be quite natural any where within
a week or ten days of the nth.
This is one of the periods in which
equinoctial hurricanes from the West
Indies need not be a surprise to dwellers
along our south coasts. A regular Vulcan
storm period is central on the 10th, COW
ering the I4th to 10Th. The strong prob
abilities are that threatening, unsettled.
stormy weather will begin during the
period of I4th. to 10Th. and run into the
reactionary period central on the 10th to
23rd. 1t many active storms do not occur
in the time covered by these two periods.
there will almost certainly be prolonged
spell of unSeasonably warm weather.
followed by severe seismic shakes in
many parts of this and other countries.
The last storm period for the month is
central on the 77th. extending from the
25th to the goth. This period will bring
a series of severe storms, and that the
crisis of these disturbances will fall on
and touching the 10th to 2oth. AT the
wind up of this period sweeping high
barometer out OF the northwest will bring
a severe dash Of autumnal weather, with
high. boreal winds, clearing skies and
frost in many places in the northern and
central states. The final elimination may
not reach most sections before the OPEN
ing days of October, but such changes is
almost a certainty before the end Of the
Mercury disturbance September 10th.

Happy Hooligan. I"

The man Of adjectives who tells in adj
vance of the coming of the Happy
Hooligan company to the Colonial
Theatre Saturday matinee and night,
certainly possesses an exhaustive voca-
bulary. Here are some of the things he
says about the company and production
of this clever farce comedy. which al
ways does large business in this city.
Happy Hooligan" is conceit ofridicu-
lousness. comicality and oddity which is
inexpressibly droll. grotesqle and charm
ing. 1t whimsicalities are polished and
refined, and its production is neither
gaudy, tawdy or obtrusive. There is in
il no absurd buffoonery or doggrel verses
but it is quaint fantastic exposition of
the eccentricities of Mr. F. Opper's gen.
ial hobo, made celebrated in the funny
pictures in the "New York Journal.
Beat it if you can.
/ Owing to SO many requests from the
citizens Of Annapolis for matinee Of
Happy Hooligan." Manager Holle-
baugh has decided to play a matinee at
the new Colonial Theatre Saturday after
noon at 2. 80. AT first the Co. was only
booked for the night performance but
have decided to give the matinee and as
the company is very large and expensive
the prices will be little higher than on
regular matinees running from IS TOYS
cents.

EIGHT COMPANIES.
Each Company Of Midshipmen Will Contain
Eighty Men.

An order has been issued at the Naval
Academy assigning the members of the
three higher classes to eight companies,
which indicates that there will be sweep
ing change in the organization of the
midshipmen battalion this year. as here
tofore there have been four companies at
the Naval Academy.
When the three hundred and fifteen
members of the fourth class are distrib-
uted among the eight companies. each
company will amount to over eighty men
and its midshipmen officers. The number
of midshipmen now is something over
six hundred and fifty, and there have
been four companies formed into one
battalion since the time there were only
two hundred and fifty midshipmen.
The increase of companies will neces-
state two battalions formed into a naval
brigade, which takes the place Of regi-
ment in military formation. The drills
and parades will, consequently, increase
immensely in interest. Lieutenant-Com-
mander w r. Fullam is likely to con-
tinue as drill officer of the midshipmen
during the coming year.
The midshipmen officers have not yet
been selected, as reports of the cruise
have not yet been considered, but it is
thought that midshipman-commander the
highest academic honor. will be won by
either Midshipman E. 0. Fitch. Jr., OF
Massachusetts, or Midshipman H. Z.
Kimmel, Of Kentucky.
