Pleasant Entertainment.

The members of the Christian En-
deavor Society of the Presbyterian
Church gave pleasant entertainment
Thursday night in the lecture room.
The affair was somewhat of an indi-
vidual birthday party, as every person
attending was expected to drop lit
tie silk bag containing as many pen
mics as they were years old into bas-
ket at the door.
The program consisted of delightful
music by portion of the Naval Acad-
envy orchestra, under the direction of
Mr.. Henry Schreyer. After several
selections by the orchestra the famous
ca Sweet family were introduced by
their mother, the widow of Judidiah
Sweet, Miss Lucy Redmond. The FAM
lily consisted of seven daughters who
were ''singists" and could "elocute. ;"
They were gotten up regardless for
the occasion and each impesronated
her character with remarkable clever
ness. The young ladies participating
were Misses Norma Brotzman, Hattie
and Addie Phillips, Carrie Gardiner
Ijams Hardesty, Mrs. Ellis Strange,
Mrs. Arthur Jones.
The Sweet family later dispensed
hot chocolate and delicious cake to the
large audience present. The proceeds
Melted over $40.

MIDSHIPMEN DISMISSED.
Three First Classmen Convicted
of Hazing And Dropped
From Naval
Service
WILL NOT Be ELIGIBLE FOR READMIS-
SION TO THE ACADEMY.

Captain Willard II. Brownson, SUI
perintedent of the Naval Academy,
went to Washington yesterday, as sta
ted in the Capital, " taking with him
the record of the court-martial in the
case of Midshipmen Joseph ID. Little,
of Ohio; John III. Lofiand, of Iowa,
and Earl w. Chaffee, of Wisconsin,
which record he presented to the Navy
Department yesterday afternoon.
The result was the three midship-
men, all members of the first class,
having been convicted by court-mar-
tial of hazing, We're ordered dismissed
from the service by Secretary of the
Navy Moody. They will never be
eligible for re-admission to the Naval
Academy, although their offense was
mild in its effect on the "plebes"
who were hazed.
Captain Brownson expects this dras-
tic action to have signal effect in
discriminating hazing at the Academy.
The unusual part about this case is
that the midshipmen dismissed are
all members of the first or senior class,
the members of which generally hold
themselves aloof from running" and
whose assistance in the preservation
of disciple was SO great the last year
that the anti-smoking rule was abro-
gated in their favor.
The law provides that if the super
intendent of the Naval Academy be-
lieves midshipmen have been hazing
their subordinates he shall order q
ourt-martial and it is explicitly pro
vided that if found guilty the offenders
shall be dismissed forever from the
service of the United States. All the
men dismissed stood high in theiI
class. The evidence presented show.
ed that they had exercised no brutal
practice ON the under classmen.
The manner in which they COMPEL
ed them to do the sixteenth, +" in
which the victim is made to raise
simultaneously his arms and double
his legs beneath him without bend
ing his back, came well within the
defined limits of hazing.

DIR. w. G.. Tuck. OF this city. will be
reappointed Postmaster of this city, a
position which he has filled for number
of years. Announcement was made at
the " hite House to this effect yesterday
afternoon; also that the nomination will
be sent to the Senate next week.
This ends the contention about the
offise between Senator Louis +. Nc omas
and Representative Sydney Z Mudd
who represents the district in which An
napolis is situated. The reappointment
OF DIR Tuck is regarded in Washington
as a victory for Mr.. Mudd. Senator Nc
Comas did not openly oppose DR.. Tuck,
but his attitude was so cherries and his
support so passive that the question OF
the appointment was held up by the
President for some months.
Coming on the heels of the Democratic
victory in Maryland, the appointment of
Mr.. Mudd's candidate is regarded in
some political quarters as an indication
of the attitude Of the President toward
Senator McComas.

For President of The Senate.

The powers that be have selected Mr..
Spencer @. Jones as president of the
State Senate next January. Mr.. Jones
called on Governor elect Warfield yes
terday and paid his respects. He is
much interested in the progress of the
work upon the new State House annex,
of which he is the leading promoter,
and proposes to devote all his energies
to having the rooms for the Senate
and the House of Delegates completed
in time for occupancy by the next
Legislature. He thinks that this can
be done, but the remainder of the
building will not be finished by that
time. This will make no material
difference, however, for the new Court
of Appeals building is now ready for
occupancy, and the old portion of the
State House and the building which
has been used by the Comptroller and
the Land Commissioner will be avail
able for use as committee rooms.

PRICE ONE GENT
THE FIRST OF THE SEASON.
Battle Drill And Sham Landing
Party In Boats On The
Severn Today.

The first of the battle drills and sham
landing parties which have been held
this year took place this morning.
These very practical exercises are UNI
der the direction of the department of
ordnance, of which Lieutenant-C Com
mander w. Il. Fullam is chief, and
that officer was in command today.
Great interest has been added to
these drills, as is the case in every
other department of life at the Naval
Academy, by the fact that the number
of midshipmen that take part in them
is about twice as many as ever before.
The first part of the drill consisted of
the battle movements in the different
vessels of the Academy feet and the
use with blank ammunition of all the
different sizes of guns used in the navy.
The vessels used were the monitor
Terror, the gunboats Sandoval aud
Alvarado, the torpedo boat destroyer
McDonough and the torpedo boats
Porter. Gwin, Talbot and Manley. All
the maneuvers used in regular sea
fight were carried out. This took place
in the Chesapeake bay beyond Annap-
oils harbor,
The second part of the work of the
morning was still more interesting in
its character, A number of the mid
shipmen IN twelve launches aud cut
tiers and carrying several pieces of
small artillery had landed through
Carr's creek, Mt the back of the old
proving grounds and taken COM
handing position, covering the APP
proach by way of the Severn.
The vessels of the fleet approached
within gun shot and after thoroughly
Smelling the position of the defending
party, force from the fleet attempted
a landing in small boats. a brave
defense was made, but according TO
the plan already laid out the attackers
finally carried the day with grand
results.

NOTIFIED Of DISMISSAL.
Midshipmen Chaffee, Little And
Lofland To Leave This
Afternoon.

The three midshipmen, Earl w,
Chaffee, of Wisconsin, John III. Lof-
land, of Iowa, and Joseph ID. Little,
of Ohio, who were tried by court mar
tial at the Naval Academy this week
for hazing certain members of the
fourth class of midshipmen, and found
guilty of the charge, were brought
before Superintendent Brownson this
morning and officially informed 81
their dismissal from the service of the
United States.
The announcement was in the form
of the order signed by Secretary of
Navy Moody. Superintendent Brown
son, who was in Washington yesterday
in connection with the hazing cases,
said when he returned home last night
that he regretted very much the neces-
sity that the midshipmen should be
dismissed. The dismissed midshipmen
were members of the first class and
would have graduated next June, and
they stood well up in their class,
which has a membership Of III. Chat
fee ranked 20, Little, 81, and Bohand,
40. They are expected TO leave the
Academy by this evening.

AS TO TEMPERANCE.
A NEW ALCOHOL DANGER TO w0
MAN AND OHlLDREN-A WARNING
ABOUT PATENT MEDICINES.

In the manufacture of well known
patent medicine, $50 barrels of alcohol
are used weekly. The bottles contain.
ing this so-called medicine hold a lit
tie less than a pint. If the mixture
was made up of one half alcohol, it
would require 1853 900 bottles a week
to dispose of this weekly consumption
of alcohol. These are facts which made
it easy to understand to what proper
ton alcohol is used to produce an in
toxicating compound sold under false
pretences as "medicine.
Dangerous as such preparation is to
health and morals of the people, it is
made many more times so by the addi-
ton of nerve-deadening and poisonous
drugs narcotics and opiates- be
cause they produce al. immediate effect,
regardless of the fact that they are in
furious in the extreme.
Preparations OF this kind find their
way into homes where temperance is
preached, and where intemperance is
looked upon with horror. 1t is not diff
cult to understand how under these cir
cumstances home, influence and wise
teaching is undermined, and the appetite
for alcohol and strong drink created.
Then, too, the opium, morphine, cocaine
and other opiates, used in these prepare
tons because they temporarily parlyze
the functions Of the .nerves) destroy the
ent re nervous system and wreck the
brain. They do more, they are respon-
sible for creating the deadly drug habit,
which has enslaved as mental and physi
cal wrecks, thousands of unfortunates
Nearly all patent medicines and So
called cough cures depend for their
effect upon some form Of these drugs.
That is one reason why doctors are
opposed to patent medicines. 1t is a
good reason, too, when victims of the
deadly drug habit are crowding the sani-
tariums and insane asylums.
We repeat that those selling these SO.
called immediate relief remedies, slim.
ulants disguised under the name of medi-
cine should be compelled by law to print
the formula on each package telling
what it contains. We have written this
SO you will realize the danger in taking
such preparations, and SO you will un
derstand its importance when you read
that without these drugs, or alcohol,
Father Johns Medicine cures colds and
all throat and lung troubles and builds
up the body, because it drives out the
impurities in the only way they can be
out, by enabling the stomach to as imi-
late the food and thus strengthen each
organ of the body to do its natural work.
This old remedy is not patent medi-
cine, as we have said before. 1t was pre-
scribed for the late Rev. Father John
O. Brien of st. Patrick's Parish. Lowell,
Mass, fifty years ago, from whom it de-
rived its name and by whom it was re-
commended. 1t contains no opium,
