AMATEUR THEATR|CALS.
A Performance May Be Given
BY The Middies For
Charity.

The midshipmen of the second class
are endeavoring to get up amateur
theatricals to be given the last OF
March or the first of April.
Two years ago the then second class
gave minstrel show at the Opera
House for the benefit of the Annapolis
Emergency Hospital. This was de-
cided success, considerable sum be-
ing realized. It is the intention of
the present second class to, if possible,
surpass that performance and give a
small operetta in addition to a min
strel performance. This matter is as
yet unsettled.
Superintendent Brownson, of the
Naval Academy, has been consulted,
but no denifite plans have been agreed
upon. The plan of holding the affair
in the armory has been suggested,
but it is thought that the difficulty
in arranging the scenic effects in that
building would render it inadequate
for the occasion. 1t is possible that
the performance will be held in the
Colonial Theatre.
The proceeds may 90 to the Annapo-
lis Emergency Hospital, but the gen.
eral opinion seems to be that it will
be made entirely social affair, there
being no tickets of admission other
than invitations. Superintendent
Brownson has not yet given his con-
sent to the plan, but it is generally
conceded that he looks upon the affair
favorably.

SERMON IOlITHE MASONS.
True Brotherhood" TheaSub-
ject of DR.. George H. Miller
First M. E. Church.

The services of the First Methodist
Episcopal Church yesterday were of a
most interesting character. and dur
were preached by the pastor, Rev.
the sermon was from the First Corin-
thians, 7th chapter, Goth verse: but
say this Brethren, the time is short. y
The discourse abounded in fact,
metaphor, argument and exhortation.
The wonderful calculation of De-
Quincey of the real working days left
to man in a period of seventy years,
when time for preparation, rest,
meals, exercise and recreation, is
taken out, was given. Only a little
over four thousand days remain. Then
the metaphor of the spheres being the
chronometer of time was beautifully
applied, with the analogy of the hu-
man soul to ship. No man would
build a beautiful ship, try her in
ocean waters where she proved a
splendid craft, and then bring her back
to the wharf, moor her and let her
rot So, God would not create the
human soul, with its vast possibilities,
and let it die in the decay of the
body. The lessons were from the Goth
Psalm and the 10th ch. of Luke.
The hymns sung were ERE Noun
tains Reared Their Form Sublime, "
"While With Ceaseless Course The
SUM-" and "Oh, God, Our help In
Ages Past. - The choir sang several
anthems Tonight the children of the
Sunday-school will be given their
Christmas entertainment, and dona-
itons will be received for the needy.
Watch Night services will be held
ON Thursday night, beginning at 10. 80
O'Clock. The Epworth League has
been requested to repeat the music OF
the Christmas services.
On Sunday evening next, the second
monthly musical service will be held
in the church. The subject of the
PASTORS address will be- Isaac Watts. y
The choir will render fine musical
programme.
In the evening the sermon was tC
the Masons, the subject was "True
Brotherhood. I" The text was from
Proverbs, 17-17: "a Friend Loveti
at All Times, And Brother is Born
for Adversity. Dr. Miller said in
part: "Some of the noblest and holi.
est manifestations of humanity have
been seen in the devotion of brother
to brother, and the meaning of the
text is that true brotherhood friend
ship grows into that best brotherhood. ,
After commencing the principle anC
purposes of the Masonic order he said
s'In the measure in which they re
ceive fulfillment by the members o.
your order, they will become amelio
rating forces in society and your ordel
become q blessing to the community. .
A large congregation was present
the Masonic order being in full regalia
The sermon was an of exceptionally
fine character.

Public Inspection Of COnnsIsssurs Desired.

In extending this invitation, realize
that the present age, is one OF particular
DEMAND. And those demands, having
established themselves by the PUBLIC IT Is
necessary for the progressive dealer to
make the most strenuous effort to mestthe
DEMANDS of the public. no matter how
particular they may be, or who makes
them.
Seven years ago, noted the demand
for iirst-class LIQUOR STORE in theWest
End. The welfare of the public required
a place where PURE LIQUORS could be
purchased. established my business
and made it practice to purchase none
but Pure Goods direct from Bond and
sold same at prices that de6ed any and
all competition. The public has appre-
lated my efforts and treatment, and my
business has increased to such an extent
that have been forced to enlarge and
remodel my store, and to-day | have
the most complete and finished Stocked
Liquor House south of New York. A
store where none but the purest goods
are sold, and where can satisfy beyond
any controversy or doubt in both price
and quality.
The DEMAND Of the Connoisseur, or the
most particular patron. Soliciting your
future patronage. and thanking you for
the past, remain yours respectfully,

Marines cheered On Leaving.

1t has been stated that the detach-
ment of marines that left here on Sat
urday to join the United States naval
forces on the Isthmus of Panama,
left without any demonstration and
that there was no cheering or mani
festation of feeling, although the men
were off for a possible war. This is
incorrect, as the detachment left the
barracks at the Naval Academy three
hearty cheres were given by the bat
talon of marines stationed there and
in return the detachment leaving re-
sponded with three lusty cheers for
those they left behind.

Car From Anne Arundel Did 1t.

The railroad authorities are making
diligent search for Nickel Plate car
No. 30S7, which is supposed to have
dropped the railroad ties which caused
the terrible wreck near Dawson, Pa.
The car was billed from Friendship,
this county, to a lumber firm in New
Castle, Pa, but has not reached its
destination. The railroad officials
suppose it has been side tracked some
where between Pittsburg and that
place, and it is now being searched
for under orders from General Super
intendent Wiley, of the Baltimore and
Ohio, in order to inspect it and de-
termine whether the responsibility for
the wreck lies with those who loaded
it.

With OFFICERS
The Object of Captain Brown
sons Recent Visit To
Washington

The object of Captain Willard H.
Brownson' S visit TO Washington last
week has been the subject of con-
lecture by those ON the outside. The
superintendent of the Naval Academy
rarely goes 10 Washington unless
there is something doing
During the superintendent last
visit to Washington he was in confer
ence with the officials of the Navy De-
partment regarding affairs at the,
Academy. Among other subjects dis
cussed was the bill introduced in the
Senate for restoring TO the Academy
of j. H. Lofiand, of Iowa, Joseph ID.
Little, of Ohio, and l.. W. Chaffee, of
Wisconsin, formerly midshipmen, who
were dismissed from the institution
for hazing.
The firm stand whichCaptain Brown
son has taken ON this question has
commanded the respect and the ap-
proval of the Navy Department. The
Commandant has informed the De-
partment that he is heartily opposed to
the reinstatement of the dismissed
midshipmen and he gives very adj
Secretary of the Navy Moody will in
form the Senate regardless of the pres
sure which Senator Hanna or any one
else may bring 10 bear, that the De-
partment is absolutely opposed TO the
passage of the bill. In the face of
this opposition it is not believed any
Senator would be able to secure the
passage of such bill.
The reinstatement of the dismissed
midshipmen wuld deal a serious blow
TO the discipline at the Naval Acad-
emy and encourage the practice of haz-
ing for which the men were expelled.

occasion. The card had picture of
the Christ child upon the outer side,
name of the flower and a text from
Holy Scripture in which the flower
was either named or referred to. The

Tickling baby will cause the child
to stutter.
To thank IA person for combing your

To Kill ghost it must be shot with
a bullet made of silver coin.
To dream of unbroken eggs signifies
trouble to come: if the eggs are broken
the trouble is past
Ii you boast of your good health
strike wood Immediately with your fist
or you will become i'll.
To dream of live snake means
enemies al large, of a dead snake
enemies dead or powerless.
To allow child to look into mir

had. indeed. often narrated the I'M

He had been summoned. he would
say. to the residence of an influential
citizen and had been b.dden to make
over one of the citizens old coats for
the son of the house.
Johnson. little nervous through ex-
cess of zeal. took off his coat turned
back his sleeves, measured the youth
and set to work He was getting along
well-the job, indeed. was nearly fin
ished-when dinner time came and he
reached out for his coat in order to
put it on and go home.
To his chagrin he discovered then
that it was his own coat which he had
cut up for the boy.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

The campaign in Ohio VIII open up
in earnest about the middle OF Sep
tember and campaign workers ana
speakers from other states are being
invited to lend their services. The
Ohio platform endorses the national
and state administration and unequivo-
cally favors the denomination OF
President Roosevelt. The nations
foreign policy is heartily approved
and the two planks on the tariff and
currency problems read as follows;
The protective tariff policy OF the
Republican party has made the United
States the greatest industrial nation,
astonishing the world with the fre-
mendous development of our bound
less resources: has added vastly to
our foreign commerce. has greatly in
creased the prosperity of the farmer
and has advanced American labor to
the best scale of living ever attained.
We oppose all attacks upon this policy
whatever the preteXt, as tending TO
bring back the disastrous days OF
Democratic tariff revision and free
trade. Changing conditions and the
possible benefits of reciprocity may
call for timely re-adjustment of sched-
ules, but protection as a principle and
as a policy must be administered by
the friends of American property; and
must not be sacrificed.
The Republican party. having res
tored the national credit after it was
nearly destroyed by the Democratic
party and having maintained, defend
ed and advanced it to the highest in
the world. with every dollar of full
value, and having given TO the people
the only banking system that operates
uniformly everywhere without loss and
at lowest cost, should now endeavor
within safe lines TO stimulate local
bank circulation. thus securing an
