THURMAN HAS $4,000 FIRE.
Roller Mill Owned by w. p. Savage
Destroyed.

Thurman, April 24.-The Eagle
Roller mill, owned and operated by w.
p. Savage. was destroyed by fire. The
loss is estimated at $4,000. with insur
ance of but $4,000.
When the fire was FIRST discovered
the whole of the second floor was
ablaze, leading to the belief that the
fire originated on that floor The build
ing was three-story structure. The
five rollers were operated by a steam
engine, but as the mill had not been
running for two or three DAYS, 1t is a
mystery what started the fire. The
larger part of the wheat in the build.
ing was in sacks and was removed by
volunteer help. There was 200 or 300
bushels Of corn burned 1t is thought
Mr.. Savage will rebuild at once.

TO HELP stanton SCHOOL
Baltimore Teachers Will Lend
Aid To Principal of An
napolis Colored
Schools.

Teachers of high and training schools
of Baltimore will aid Stanton Public
School of Annapolis and help Mr..
Chase, principal of the school to keep
his promise He promised to keep the
school going until relief comes for
ward if the people would pay fifty
cents per month for each child sent.
AS there are nine grades in the school,
he found it impossible to pay as
many teachers as he needed with the
receipts. He laid the matter before
DR.. Waring, principal of the colored
high and training school of Baltimore.
DIR. Waring is broad minded man
and is always seeking to build up his
race. He at once took up the matter
with his teachers, who pledged them
selves to pay one teacher for Mr..
Chase for period Of six weeks. The
citizens of Annapolis appreciate very
highly this act of kindness on the
part of DIR. Waring and his teachers.
An entertainment will be given at
the Assembly Rooms on January 5,
also. to raise means to aid the school.
1t is hoped that some action will be
taken in the early part of the Legis-
lature to relieve the condition that
now exists in the public schools.

"B|LG|NG" MIDDIES.

of Many Unpleas-

These are strenuous days for GER.
tain of the midshipmen at the Naval
Academy, for out of a membership
approximating 800 nearly one third Of
this number have been found lacking
in academic duties, and are therefore
in grave danger Of bilging at the
semi annual examinations scheduled
for January. On the "found want
ing " list are 233 names, and it is be-
lieved by those in position to know
that fully one hundred of this num-
Der will not go on the roster for
another year.
In consequence of this uncertainty,
the middies directly affected are put
ting in every spare moment on the stu
dies in which they are held deficient,
and in consequence the holidays TO
many of them will be more in the ma
ture of season Of hard work The
majority of those down or rather hung
up on the Academy christmas tree,
are from the fourth class, though the
third class furnishes some thirty de
linquents. In the next class eleven
men have not come up to the stand
ard, while among the graduating mid
dies, four are stirring themsel YES
nightly in an effort to get back TO
safe ground.

SaturiSy Nights Hop At The
Naval Academy - An
Eventful Home
Coming.

A special hop was given at the
Naval Academy armory Saturday
night. Not being one of the scheduled
winter dances the attendance was
smaller than usual. A large proper
tion of those who attended, however,
were out of town guests.
Mrs. Hines, wife of Lieutenant
Hines, U. 8. N, received with Mid
shipman Caffee, of the first class.
Among those present were: Captain
and Mrs. Brownson, Captain aud Mrs.
Badger, Lieutenant-Comma and
Mrs. Fullam, Lieutenant mud Mrs.
Cooper, Lieutenant aud Mrs. Lawes,

Owing to the rain and sleet which
began to fall about 10 o'clock, it was
with great difficulty that some of the
ladies could reach their homes. The
condition of the street rendered it
impossible for the horses TO draw the
carriages, so young and old, escorts,
young ladies and dignified chaperons
alike, had To brave the elements and
at the risk of life and limb make their
way homeward over the slippery
pavement.
In body the carnival of silk, satin.
jet and brass buttons left the armory.
Onl it was an eventful march. Straight
to the main gate they moved, slipping
and sliding as they went. Every few
minutes shrill shrek, deeper note
and loud roar of laughter would
break the stiffness of the night, an
nouncing that fair damsel had fallen.
In an attempt TO pick her up, her
escort had shared the same fate, and
the procession was enjoying the joke.
This continued until most every one
had thoroughly tested the impenetra-
bility of the pavements and finally
when home was reached by all, many
and great were sighs and thanks. IL
is useless to say that the scourers
have their hands full today.

Horse Impaled On Iron Fence.

A horse belonging to Mr.. Richard
G.. Chaney, valued at $50, was i'm
paled this morning on picket of the
iron fence around st. Anne's Church
at Church Circle and badly injured.
The horse, with three others, had
been saddled for ladies in the house
party at the Executive Mansion and
was on his way to the Governor s
when the accident occurred. The
boys who were riding the horses
raced them down West street and the
rider of the injured animal either lost
control of his horse or ran him into
the church railing. The animal bled
profusely, and was taken to the sta
bles, where his wounds were dressed.
The horse was impaled in the fleshy
part of the leg below the shoulder.
Everything was done by Mr.. CLANCY
and his stablemen to relieve the ami
aml's sufferings.

Painful Accident.

.sAlexander Hughes, the colored por-
ter at Jones and Franklin's store,
stumbled over man in a saloon on
West street Saturday night and fell,
sustaining painful injuries to his
right arm. In falling Hughes tried
to catch himself with his hand against
a window pane, but he force of the
fall thrust his hand and arm through
the glass, tearing the flesh in ragged
wounds, which bled profusely. Hughes
sought medical aid, but the wounds
were of such a nature that he was ad-
vised to go to a Baltimore hospital
and left for that city yesterday.
1t is thought amputation may be
necessary. Hughes is brother of Mrs.
w. E. Scott, of Washington street.

Important to the navy is the order
ing to the marine barracks, Naval
Academy, as instructor OF Lieutenant
William r. Coyle, of the Marine
Corps, who has been ON duty with the
Prairie. His assignment to the bar
racks initiates the policy in the Ma
rine Corps of appointing an instructor
there for tour Of two years service.
Among the subjetcs he will teach
will be field engineering. 1t is believed
Lieutenant Coyle will prove an ex-
ceptionally valuable man at the bar
racks, because Of his previous exten-
sive experience in the Geological Sur
vey, on which he served for several
years.

An Attempted Burglary.

What appears to have been an or
ganized attempt ont he part of parties
unknown to burglarize the tenants of
the Arundel Building was made early
yesterday morning, and only the OPP
perfume arrival of the janitor prevent
ed its successful execution. The
poachers gained an entrance through
the basement window and had just
succeeded in opening door leading to
one of the upper apartments when the
janitor came in for the purpose of
fixing the fire. The place was inky
darkness, and while the later conner
was searching around for light, two
men made hasty and somewhat un-
dignified exit by way of the window.
The only loss sustained was in brok-
en- window frame and glass. The
police are investigating the affair.

They did not know that what they had found was part of the moons face, and that its long flights were the result of its eff forts to get back to its proper place; nor did they know that the warrior, in revenge on the beautiful young girl, made all the limitations travel the same way so that when the moon looked down and saw them all whirling round and round in the air eshe would not know which was the missing part of her face and which was not, and so would be forever disigured. in punish ment for having rejected the love of her great admirer. And in proof of the truth of his tale the black fellow would point to the moon-when not at the full and ask how else had it lost a part. On nights when the moon was full the black fellow was silent.

fraternal spirit in our small so-cailed country towns. It is this spirit which causes the men, after their lab3r5 of the day are over, to assemble in tAE corner grocery store or engine house. Then can then. through social conver- sation and club spirit, discuss the vari- ous questions Of the day to their mutual advantage.
 [ In closing he said: I think a man who is not a good club man is not good home man, for I think good club man is one who respects his home. Again thanking the club for it's kind invita- tion. he closed amidst loud applause.
 Professor Emery, of Yale, was the next speaker. Said he: "The governor is here because he is governor. won der why am here?" Continuing, he said:
 I was brought up in the state of Maine, and have been here about two years and half. When 1 arrived I ex- pected I could go to the polls and vote, but soon discovered would first have to be made voter. and l found this no easy task. Said he: It seems to me that there is only about one day year a man can be made a voter. Continu- ing. he said: The most difficult part of my being made was my having to read the constitution, and. said he, laugh ingly, the fact that I was a member of the Yale faculty made no difference. But can see now why was thus de- layed from voting. It was so that might have the great honor and pleas ure of casting my first vote in this state for Governor Chamberlain. On the whole, think I can agree with what the governor has said. Education is like vaccination in some mep-it takes, and on others it makes no impression.
 A man who is not worthy to join this club is not the kind of a man we desire to graduate from our university. We are not desirous of merely turning out a technical man but practical one. What we desire is to turn out men for the public service we wish to imbue them with an education which will make them effective citizens, club men, statesmen and scholars and think Yale's record for the last 200 years has shown these desires. He then spoke of the importance of a good club in assisting in this education. In closing he said: Clubs are trunlps and the Union league is the ace" The toastmaster then called upon the Hon. George M. Gum, Senator henealy, Samuel Dodd of Meriden, Secretary Vinal, ex-Mayor FarnsWorth and Vice President W. F. Merrill, all of whom responded in some very instructive and witty speeches.
