NEW NAVAL ACADEMY
Imposing Structures Are Replacing
Old Buildings at Annapolis.
Eight Millions of Dollars Are Being
Expended to Make This school

Nation.

The old naval academy buildings at
Annapolis in which many of the great
naval heroes of America have received
their training, are being torn down to
give place to new and more commodious
structures that are now being built.
The United States naval academy as
we have known it was of slow growth.
1t was in 1S45 that the first start to-
ward a naval school was made by
transferring some old buildings on the
army reseryat-,L at Point Severn from
the war department to the navy. In

HAZING ENDED.
Board of visitors TO West Point MiIi-
tary Academy Makes an Interesting
Report to Secretary of War.

The board of visitors to the West
Point military academy has made its
report to the secretary of war. The
report is interesting chiefly because
of the very general commendation OF
the conditions of the academy. 1t is
especially noted that the discipline is
excellent, and that hazing has disap-
pcared, save in one or two cases of a
very mild character. The board made
very thorough examination of the
plans and specific tions, which have
been prepared under the direction of
the secretary of war, for new build
ings and other Improvements at the
academy, and they are approved with
out reservation. The total eNpendi-
ture for these improvements will be

Victor Hugo had the odd habit of
standing up to his work, a high desk
specially constructed for him making
this possible. Hour after hour he
would stand on his feet before this
desk and busy himself with his liter
airy work. This desk may be seen in
the new Hugo museum, which Paris is
now able to control and preserve for
the coming generations of book lovers
and literary lights. Victor Hugo lived
to be 81 years of age, and even at that
age was vigorous and active. 1t was
a novel sight to see him before his
desk much in the attitude of the clerk
in the busy office where the breast
high desks are used.
The house where Hugo was born
is still standing, and is also a point of
interest to the tourist. 1t is three

now approaching presidential elec-

with the products from its rich gold,
silver and copper mines, together with
its vast stock and fruit industries will
continue to stimulate and sustain
business in its prosperous march, after
the timber is exhausted. Now is the
time to get foothold here.
During the leisure week of last
spring and winter, SO many Eastern
people availed themselves Of these
privileges that it then appeared to us
that within few weeks there would
b. no more vacant timber left. How
ever, when spring and summer work
opened up that has apparently alb
sorbed all of their attention, conse-
quently timber business stands much
as it did last spring, and as 80 few
Eastern people have come out to the
coast during the summer there is still
good vacant land available.
