Good Results Expected.

The Navy Department expects excel
lent results from the important board of
officers appointed to determine upon the
future training of line officers in engineer
ing work. The first meeting of the board
was held in New York city, and it is ex-
pected that the board will continue its
sessions inSWashington and at the Naval
Academy until report has been COM
pleted. Rear Admiral Rae, Chief OF the
Bureau of Steam Engineering, believes
that the problem of having an efficient
commissioned engineering force in the
Navy will be solved largely by the work
of this board. He thinks that officers OF
the Navy who show a special aptitude for
engineering work should be assigned to
such duty when stationed on shore, as
well as when they are at sea, and that in
this way capable inspectors ofmachinery
and engineering assistants at the various
navy yards will be obtained.

MORE SCHOOL TROUBLE.
Parents Object To Method OF Puniahmeut.

Mrs Frank Green appeared last night
before members of the Board Of Trus
tees OF the Annapolis public school and
protested against the method OF punish
ment inflicted upon her son Frank, I3
years old.
Mrs. Green said she has never had
any trouble with school teachers before
and has not interfered with them in any
way, and she believes in punishment at
school if administered properly. Her
son she stated came home from school
last Thursday and was too i'll to eat his
dinner, upon inquiry she found he had
been whipped by the principal and told
the boy he probably deserved the pun
ishment. Later when the child was
seized with vomiting, the mother relented
and examined his back, finding there
ugly blue and purple spots where the
boy was bruised She became indignant
when informed by the child the method
of punishment which he said was inflicted
on his bare skin. She went to one Of
the trustees and was told she must get
a doctors statement before the matter
would be considered.
The trustees have this case and sew
eral others under advisement and meet
ing will be held next Tuesday night when
some definite action will be taken and
rules for the method of punishment
adopted.

HIS ANNUAL VISIT.
Mr. Samuel B. Arnold Takes A Trim To
BaIimuTe---SOme Interesting
"reminiscences.

Mr.. Samuel B. Arnold, of Friend
ship. Anne Arundel Co. is on his an
nual visit to Baltimore. Mr.. Arnold
is one of the original conspirators in
the plot to kidnap President Lincoln,
which terminated in the first assassi-
nation of President of the United
States. and whose narrative of the
part he played in that drama during
the Civil War was published exclu-
sively and in serial form in The Balti-
more American last December.
Mr.. Arnold invariably makes it a
practice TO journey to Baltimore once
year, generally during October. This
visit is made for the purpose of spend
ing few days with his relatives and
renewing acquaintance with his old
friends in Baltimore An extra in
centive for the present visit was the
death of Gen. Bradley i. johnson,
under whom Mr.. Arnold served as a
soldier i'm the ranks Mr.. Arnold
reached the city in time to attend the
funeral services and the interment in
Loudon Park Cemetery, Baltimore.
Mr.. Arnold talks entertainingly of
the widespread interest that had been
manifested over the publication of his
narrative, and stated that he had re-
eived hundreds of letters from all Sec
tions of the United States, some COM
plimenting him upon the thoroughness
and interesting composition of the
narrative, while others criticised him
in no uncertin terms. Mr.. Arnold said
however, that he was happy III the
thought that every line he penned be-
spoke the truth, and that he had moth
ing to retract. He also said that a
great number of overtures had been
made to him to publish his narrative
in book form, and he was giving the
matter thorough consideration.
Despite his 20 years, Mr. Arnold is
in robust health, with the exception
of slight lameness produced by a
recent attack of rheumatism, accentu
ated by heavy fall He will return

Don't close your eyes 10 the
fact that an advertisement is
