MISS PUSEY MUST GO.
THE CIRCUIT COURT so DECIDED THIS
MORNING.
The Decision FaVuTs The Board Of Mana.
geTs-The Hospital MuddIe
Ended-DifticuItes
Involved.

In the Circuit Court this morning.
Judge Thomas speaking for the Court,
handed down an able opinion ON the
mooted question which has stirred this
community for several months past rel
ative to the affairs of the Annapolis
Emergency Hospital.
As the result of the opinion the
Court directs that the writ of man
damus shall issue removing Miss Pusey
as superintendent, and an order "a
that effect will be signed Tuesday
next when Judge Thomas returns.
The opinion, which will be published
in full in our next issue, decides with
out qualification, that the Board of
Directors Of the hospital have, by
charter, and the laws of Maryland.
the exclusive control over the affairs
of the hospital and that by no by law
could powers inherent in the mana
gers be delegated to the medical staff
of the hospital.
This latter body, the Court decides,
is not of the corporation, but exists
apart from it and is perpetual. Any
bylaw that attempts to deprive the
legal managers or directors of the cor
poration from its lawful powers is null
and void. In support of this latter
fact the Court quoted from Clark on
Private Corporations as the best
authority ON the subject. Upon the
question whether a mandamus pro.
ceeding was the proper one to obtain
the relief asked by the Board of Mana.
gers, the Court was in some doubt,
but in view of the fact that both par.
ties TO the case desired decision upon
all questions involved and as in other
states this form of procedure had been
approved, the Court would direct the
writ of mandamus to issue as prayed.
After Judge Thomas had concluded
Judge Revell made few remarks
stating that while at first he was in
clined TO another view than that now
unanimously reached by the Court, he
had been convinced of the soundnesi
of the conclusions reached and was
unqualified in his approval, compii
menting at the same time, his asso
ciate upon the lucidity and ability o.
| the opinion as delivered. Counsel fol
Miss Pusey have announced that al
immediate appeal will be taken to the
Court of Appeals.
The Circuit Court handed down to
day a written opinion in the injunc-
tion case brought by the Short Lin,
Railroad Company against the CITY
of Annapolis to restrain the city from
attempting to open Pinkney or Cal
vert streets over the lines of the rail
road. The Court holds that there has
never been such dedication of that
portion of the stretched between John
son and Smallwood streets as would
entitle the city to claim it as thor
oughfare. The writ of injunction il
directed to issue, restraining the city
perpetually from interfering with thi,
portion of the railroad s property.

Facing The Music.

The run of 602 nights of Comedian
Henry K. Dixey in the gaity, "Adonis''
is yet to be even remotely approached
by any production that New York, the
scene OF the achievement, has since wit
messed. When the unceasing activity and
pereisting ambitions of stars and mana
gers, week after week, and year after
year, in big New York, are considered
Comedian Dixey's achievement is re-
markable. Facing the Music" the new
comedy farce in which this splendid
humorist is starring, presents him in a
different way, as the fun piece that
brought him his first great renown. As
in "Adonis," he appears as young man.
This time his names is Smith. The
presence among the new plays char
acters of another young man pamed
Smith is the pivot of the fun. The
Smith that Mr.. Dixey plays is just one
of the many thousands OF the plain sort.
The other Smith is a young curate,
straight-laced' stiff-backed, prim and
puritanieal. Both are married to young
handsome wives. Both live on the same
square of the same borough. In answer
to a summons, the young wife OF the
curate returns from foreign sojourn to
rejoin him in new home he has leased
and furnished for her. The curate's
wife returns while both Smiths
of the male 'suasion are absent from
home. The young wife of the plain Mr..
Smith is also absent. The somewhat
prude wife of the puritanic Smith
takes up her abode in the home of the
unchurchly Smith, believing it to he the
next prepared for her by her husband.
This starts the trouble. The comic
evolutions which the author has effected
fIom this beginning ensnare in upToari-
GUS discontinue, besides the four
Smiths, host of innocent but interest
ing collateral relatives, domestics, visi-
tors and even the police. The CON edy,
with Mr.. Dixey as It's star, Is to be pre-
sented here at the Colonial Theatre on
next Tuesday night in exactly the same
manner and with the same support, that
distinguished its run during the current
year Of more than 200 nights at the
Garrick Theatre, in New York.

Mrs. Kealy is on the war path again
Tired of the quiet life behind convent
walls she has put on her war paint and
feathers, and gone on the rampage. Yes

that the tenants vacate. The agent oi
the property. lawyer in Annapolis. gave
the tenants notice that they were not to
recognize Mrs. Kealey in the matter and
he has notified the police concerning the
same. The agent says if Mrs. Kealy
is obstreperous she will have to go to
Jail, if she is mentally unsound there is
another place for her. She is permitted
to 90 out when she wishes, but the good
Sisters who have given her a place oI

An inquiry into the matter instituted
by the House of Commons resulted in
the prosecution by the attorney gen.

A Disappointing Play.

The audience who saw "Nip and
Tuck" Harry Webber's comedy drama
at Colonial Theatre last night are still
wondering what it was all about. Ger
,tainly the production Of this wonderful
conglomeration OF comedy and melo-
drama was the most unique of its kind
ever seen on the local stage. There was
no plot, or if there was. it was in such a
heterogeneous mass that the average
brain could not unravel it. The text Of
the play seemed to be David Harum' s
theory of "Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you but do it 'furst

disappointed in the play and SO was the

william @. Werntz, of Annapolis,
Md, applied at the clerks office this
morning for a license TO wed Miss
Elsie Garner, also of Annapolis, but
for some weeks past employed as a

PRICE ONE GENT
DEMAND FOR TICKETS.
Commander Halsey Hard Press
ed To Satisfy The
Demands.

The demand for-tickets TO the Army
Navy game at Franklin Field. Phila-
delphla, November 2S increases daily.
Commander William n. HalSey. chair
man of the executive committee of
the Navy Athletic Association. will
again have the matter in charge. and
he is anxious To let the general public
have as many tickets as possible, but
is confrnted with certain ineNorable
demands for tickets that have to be
met first. After these are complied
with others will be treated as gener-
ously as possible.
Commander Halsey has Just return.
ed from Philadelphia, where he con-
suited with representatives of West
Point and the University of Pennsyl-
vaniva and arranged for the distribu-
tlon of the quota among each of the
three institutions. The seating capac-
ity of Franklin Field this year is rs,
600, and each will receive one third,
or Is, 1873. Last year each received g.,
600. The demands this season are much
heavier. The midshipmen contribute
largely TO the athletic interests of the
institution, and there are POO more
of them than last year-65O i'm all
These of course, have each a small al
lowance of tickets, two or three apiece,
at most, for their friends
The main expense of football and
other sports at the Naval Academy
are borne by the Navy Athletic Asso-
citation, which is composed of naval
officers all over the world There are
no gate receipts or other form of re-
ceipts of any sort at the Academy and
the entire expenses must be met from
money derived from the midshipmen
and the Navy Athletic Association.
The officers who compose the latter,
/, 100 in number, aim 10 see that game
if they possibly can and the greater
part of them do manage TO get TO Phil
adelphla and bring their families, in
whole or in part. Everyone recognizes
the fairness of giving the first chance
at the tickets To those who are most
closely connected with the navy, and
who by their financial assistance, make
any athletics possible at the institution
1t can be readily seen that when
these demands alone are met the sup
ply allotted to the navy is about ex-
| hausted. There will be, no doubt, u
few tickets for general distribution,
and those wishing them should file
their request at once with Commander
