NO HARD TIJIES SHOWN.
More Diamonds Imported than EUer
Before.

The cry of hard times decreased wages and di-
n1inshing imports and other hard stories told
by the Democratic political agitator do not seem to
be borne out by figures furnished by Appraiser
Whitehead FOR the fiscal year ended June 80 OF
hl luxJries, probably diamonds are the most de-
sired. When hard times come and luxuries have to
be forsworn, diamonds about the first to be
given up, yet Mr.. Whitehead's figures for the year
show that the importation of uncut diamonds was
never so large before for the year just ended.
The figures also show that the appraised importa-
tions for the year just ended higher than in
any other year in the last five years. AS importa-
lions are nearly all Injuries it would appear that

Baltimore is to be favored by one of
the first appearances outside of New

man and George Edwards London
Company in Paul Ruben's latest con-
tribution to musical comedy, "'Three
Little Maids which will begin a

after a years stay in the British
metropolis, landed at New York last

at Daly's Theatre, September /, which
continued with uninterrupted success
up to last Saturday evening.
A more genuine triumph has not
been recorded in New York theatricals
in many seasons than was scored by the
British players in that dainty little
creation with the suggestive title,

Baltimore & Ohio Railroad

The popular demand, "Pay for
what you get, and get it when you
want it, - induced the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad to install, some four
wears ago, la carte service on dining
cars to supersede table d'hote. With
the exception of very few instances
the la carte service is used through
out the system because it affords the
traveller an opportunity of getting
something TO eat without paying for
more than he wants. In these pala-
tial cars, the coach as well as the
Pullman passenger can sit down to
an immaculate table, receive the at
tention of the best trained walters,
and secure for the small sum of %
cents,a cup of coffee and a bit of
toast or sandwich. He pays the usual
price of 10 cents for the coffee, 10
cents for sandwich, and cents for
the best service possible, surrounding
himself with an appetizing atmos-
phere, and having the attention of the
most skilled walters, all for the above
small amount. Is not this infinitely
better than hurrying from the train
to Q lunch counter, or to have your
coffee and sandwich brought to You at
your seat, and be submitted TO the
annoyance of the acrobatic feats
which necessarily accompany such a
performance? The dining car service
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
is not outclassed anywhere. New
dining cars have been added every six
months and the present equipment,
skilled service and excellent cuisine
are of he highest standard.

GRIEF OVERJOHNSON| DEATH
Particulars of the Accident OF
Which the Candidate
Was q Victim.

There We're many expressions of
regret in this community today over
the news, as printed in yesterday s
Evening Capital of the sudden
death of young Frederick G. Johnson,
a candidate for the Naval Academy.
and student at Professor Wilmer Z
preparatory school. The Capital
has been in communication with
friends of the deceased, and is able to
furnish the following particulars of
the sad event:
Young Johnson, who lives at Shet-
ter Island, n. Y, left for his home on
December 81 to spend the Christmas
holidays. At that time he was in
perfect health and high spirits On
Monday last he went from his home
at Shelter Island to New York city,
in order TO spend his eighteenth birth
day with his uncle at No. 81 Irving
Place.
1t appears that the gas pipes in the
house had become clogged by the cold
during the day and the gas filters had
been called in to make necessary re-
pairs. A gas jet had been left open
in the room which young johnson was
TO occupy, and later, when tfe gas
was turned on from the main cock,
the open jet was overlooked When
Johnson retired for the night he was
unaware that gas was escaping in his
room.
In the morning he was found on the
bed in an unconscious condition.
Two physicians were hastily sum-
moned, but in spite of their efforts
the young man died without regain
ing consciousness.

Two Barracks Recommended

An additional barracks for the en-
listed men of the navy has been
recommended to be located ON the
Chesapeake bay, it is thought near
Annapolis. The board appointed to
consider plans for barracks for enlist
ed men of the navy instead of housing
them aboard receiving ships recon-
mends to the Secretary of the Navy
two barracks, to cost $500, 600 each, ex-
elusive of the land, with general loca-
tion at New York and on the Chesa-
peake bay.
The plan of barracks provides for
separate office and administration
buildings, separate dormitories, mess
hall, amusement room and other
buildings. The board does not deem
it wise for the men to mess and sleep
in the same building. The barracks
as proposed could accommodate about
a thousand men each, and in an en-
ergency could house ], 800 men. An
urgent recommendation is made for
the establishment of canteen.

Giants of Nineteenth Century

The palm of the nineteenth century
science, therefore, may be said to be-
long to Darwin. But what is to be
said of the palm of nineteenth h-cen-

was the most intelligent man of the
great century that has just become
historical? Who was it in the pre-
sence of whom even Darwin and q
Helmholtz uncovered their heads:
Now, what is intelligence? If we say
that intelligence is capacity of in
tellect plus knowledge, then there
need be no doubt that the most intel.
ligent man of the nineteenth century
not only, but of all human time, is

Ice Delays The Susquehanna

Yesterday the steamer Susquehanna,
of the COLCHESTER Steamboat Company,
made the usual trip from Baltimore,
but was not able to return until
today. 1t is unusual for the steamer
to remain here over night, but on
account of the ice she was obliged to
wait and go up the bay in the wake
of one Of the Norfolk or Richmond
boats. Captain w. @. Eliason, presi-
dent of the company, made the trip
down yesterday. Several times the
boat was compelled to stop and go
back to get force enough to crash
through the heavy blocks of ice. He
said that he has not seen the ice as
bad in the bay for twenty years.
