The chief and the missionary.

Once upon time a great preacher
came to the camp of the Muskogees
and had pow-wow with Chief Tune
chichee. The great preacher insisted
upon leading Chief Tumechchee to
the cross, saying: 1T is too bad to
have no religion. / have and to spare.
Come and be a Christian, and, 10! you
viii be great in the land. Pray, and
the Great Spirit will hear you and
grant your prayer. You and your
people shall not want anything" The
old chief listened attentively and an
swered: II do not like your religion.
1t makes an unworthy man too fami-
liar with the Great Spirit, and too
much praying may cause one to ask
for too much. Before you came to my
camp, and my people believed the
Great Spirit would continue to take
care of us, as in the past, and our
faith is still unchanged. We cannot
embrace our religion" So saying the
old chief retired to his wigwam.-

First Brigade Drill

At the Naval Academy this year there
is a brigade for the first time, the mid
shipmen having been formed into eight
companies instead of four and the whole
organized as brigade instead of a bat
talon. The drills are, consequently,
much more interesting and impressive
This week there was the first brigade
drill in the history of the Naval Academy
Ii was under the charge Of Lieutenant
Commander w F. Fullam, the infantry
drill officer. The midshipman in charge
was the cadet commander z. O. Fitch
The midshipmen commanding compan-
les were Otterson, Bassett, Craig, TuppeI
Druley, Dawes. Howard and Coburn.
There will be two more drills this sea
son of the whole number of midshipmen
formed as brigade of infantry, and there
will be three drills OF the whole number
formed as brigade Of artillery.
A new feature has been introduced
Three times week the midshipmen after
drilling in that part of the Naval Acad
emy known as "Oklahoma" march ou
the King George street gate, down King
George to Maryland Avenue and into the
Academy by the Main gate to the new
armory. This is ''short cut TO the ar
mory. but it is unusual for the battalion
TO march through the streets.

There is a small town in Sweden
which will very probably soon be de-
serted by those of its residents who
are unusually stout. The reason Is
because the local authorities recently
issued an ordinance to the effect that
they intend to impose graduated
tax on the residents, according to
their weight, and to spend the money
thus collected in making public i'm
provements.
Persons who weigh 100 pounds or
less will not be taxed: those who
weigh from 100 to 200 pounds will
each be taxed 12s. year; those who
weigh from 200 to $50 pounds win
each be taxed FL As. a year. and tax
bin for a larger amount. which will
be in strict proportion to the weight,
will be sent annually to every one
who weighs more than $50 pounds

FAMILIAR CHARACTERS.
On Colonial Stage In "Loopine
The Loop"

"a Musical Absurdity'' was the COR
rect title for Looping the Loop" the
performance at the Colonial Theatre
last night Ii was so ridiculously funny,
in spots, that the audience laughed in
spite of itself. II would not be an alto
gether bad show if some of the broad
Jokes were eliminated, but some were
very broad indeed and made even old
timers. The Otto brothers were very
good. One had fine voice. With all
of her horrible make up Madame Katzen-
jammer impersonated by Miss Carrie
Godfrey, was realistic character. Miss
Godfrey has a sweet. melodious voice,
thoroughly incompatible with her make
up Indeed, her voice was the only
good voice in the company. The chorus
is poor and rasping. The voices had
the effect of chasing cold chills up and
down ones spine. Tumble Tom was
not bad, neither was Happy Hooligan
whose makeup was fautiessly trampy,
and of the pictured Wear-Weekly type.
Indeed the entire performance was a
good ad for the New York Journal S
pictorial page in its Sunday edition.

At St. Joseph's Hospital.

Mr.. p. 3. Bowdoin, the young man
from New Orleans, La, who has been
attending the preparatory school of Prof
r. L. Werntz and is studying for an en-
trance examination to the Naval Acad-
emy, was removed to Baltimore last
night on the s S. train and was placed
in St. Joseph Hospital that city.
Mr. Bowdoin is suffering with typhoid
fever and his case demanded hospital
treatment. Ii was over an attempt to
place the sick young man in the Emer-
eency Hospital here that a dissension
arose yesterday. After the attending
physician made an unsuccessful attempt
to place Mr.. Bowdoin in the hospital,
owing to trouble between the Executive
Committee Of the Medical Staff and
Board of Managers, it was found neces-
sary to remove the young man to Balti-
more for treatment. Mr.. Bowdoin has
been sick for over a week, but his case
was not known to the oard of Managers
when they addressed the letter TO the
Staff asking them not to place any more
patients in the Hospital. unless serious
accident cases, as it would be necessary
to have the use OF all rooms, wards, &c.
The Board contemplates putting in new
heating apparatus, and the plumber
stated it would be necessary to have the

jor-General Haywood Out
lines Instruction of Com
missioned Officers.

The Navy Department has made
public the last annual report OF Major
General Charles Haywood (retired), },
as commandant of the Marine Corps.
Some important recommendations re-
garaing the marine corps have been
made by him.
General Haywood gives in detail the
course of instruction TO be pursued by
officers of the marine corps ordered to
the school of application recently es-
tablished at the Naval Academy.
He says:
lit is my purpose to have this
school so conducted and the instruc-
tion in theoretical and practical work
so arranged that when officers shall
have satisfactorily completed the
course they will be equipped and
available for duty which the growing
demands of the service may require.
The following named recently ap-
pointed second lieutenants of the corps
have been ordered to the Naval Acad-
emy for instruction in the school of
application /:
Second Lieutenants Charles f. Will
liams, Nelson p Vulte, Harrison T..

M. Howard, William A. Howard, Ar
thur b. Owens, Robert o. Underwood,
Jesse +. Dyer, Clarence S. Owen, Mau-
rice V. Campbell, Richard b. Creecy,

THE ACADEMY or MUSIC.
Bronson Howard's Saratoga Surpasses
al Hs Past Lforts

No more interesting comedy has
ever been written than Brownson How
ards Saratoga. AS the author of
1.-THE Henrietta, - "Aristocracy, -
"The Bankers Daughter" and "Shen-
andoah' he has yet to write play
that surpasses Saratoga in its con-
struction, in humorous drawing of
character, in pithy and pointed dia-
logue and in concentration of theme
and thought.
In Saratoga we find a man in
love with four women simultaneously.
They are in turn, in love with him.
He runs into many needless entangle-
ments owing to his susceptible infatu-
alton for every new pretty face. He
loves too often and too well with the
result that eventually he draws him
self into complicated situation, where
he is confronted at the one time by all
of his sweethearts and yet he succeeds
n.extricating himself from this dilema
in a manner that is satisfactory to all.
The man that says tYou do not love
as / do'' is Robert Sackett in the play.
No man in real life did love exactly
as does Sackett. If he did, probably
he would not live to tell the tale.
Therefore, Sackett is unique charac-
ter and such a humorous one that he
furnishes trouble for himself and trou-
BILE for those who surround him, and
these are the very kind of troubles
that audiences laugh at. The more
there are of them the heartier they
laugh. Saratoga" will appear at the
Academy of Music, Baltimore, during
weak of Novamher , with matinaae on
Wednesday and Saturday. The Acad-
emy is the leading theatre OF Balti-
more and is the only theatre there that
is playing exclusively American and
Foreign stars of the first magnitude.

Not to Be Worn by Civilians or Semi
Military Organizations

Among the recommendation which
1t is anticipated that the general staff
OF the army will make Is one for leg
islation forbidding the wearing Of the
distinctive uniform of the army by
civilians or semi-military organiza-
tions. The courts having held that
uniforms issued to soldiers become
their private property. it will be rec
commended that legislation pass max
ing the uniforms the property Of the
United States and. providing for the
payment to the discharged soldier OF
the value of his uniform and its sur
render by him at the time OF his dis
charge
In this connection 1t is stated that:
ut is not conducive to proper pride in
the uniform to see 1t worn by dive
keepers and tramps," as 1t seems Is
now the case in some instances. Un-
der the law as it stands there is no
method of preventing the wearing Of
army uniform by unauthorized per-
sons anywhere save within the limits
of the military reservations.
The suggested legislation seems
along proper lines, with this excep-
ton. Honorably discharged soldiers
of the United States army. regular or
volunteer, whether privates or OFF,
GERS, should be entitled to the privi-
lege of wearing their old uniforms on
proper occasions. such as when meet
ing to commemorate battles in which
they have engaged, or appearing col
lectively In organizations composed
of veterans of any of our wars and
like public occasions, when the uni
form could be worn appropriately and
distinctively. It's unauthorized use by
civilians on other occasions should be
prohibited. 1t Is misdemeanor for
a civilian to pass himself off as po'
liceman, to the deception of the pub
lie. Surely the uniform of a soldier
of the United States Army should be
entitled TO the protection accorded
the garb of our civil guardians of the
peace.-Seattle Post-1ntelligencer.
