A Desirable Site On Which To
Build a Gymnasium For
Association.

The members of the newly organized
Annapolis Athletic Association will
hold a meeting ON Friday night, when
it is expected to have a membership
of fifty. arrangements are being
made to use the old Opera House, cor
ner of Maryland avenue and Prince
George street for gymnasium until
the association can own its own home.
The Opera House presents many
desirable advantages for this purpose.
1t has 22-foot ceiling, a gallery for
spectators at public events and stage
for entertainments and athletic exhi-
billions. The management, it is IN
derstood, will make all necessary i'm
provements should the association
choose the Opera House for a gym. ;"
Mr.. Otto Steffen, assistant boxing
master at the Naval Academy, who is
an active member of the new assOcia-
tion, will give it his hearty support
and will assist in any way possible in
suggesting necessary equipments
when purchased. The Capital sug-

gymnasium. As a "city park" it is
an evesore and building such as a
gymnasium would be would greatly

LONG LIFE IN THE SERVICE.
Seaman Coffin Four Score And
Four Years In The
u. S. Navy.

Among the crew attached TO the
United States frigate Santee at the
Naval Academy, Harry 5. Coffin is
probably the oldest seaman in active
service. He is four score and four
years. and although his hair is snow
white he looks much younger than his
years, is a we'll preserved man for his
age and is in good health.
Coffin came TO Annapolis as sea
man on the Santee when the naval
school was removed here from New
port, II. l., after the close of the
Civil War. He has been attached to
that vessel ever since. The old man
could have retired from active service
several years ago, but by special per-
mission of the Navy Department. he
has been retained in active service at
his own request. Having good SER
vice record and through the courtesy
of the command in charge of the San
tee and ships at the Naval Academy,
the old man is excused from certain
duties and performs only such work
pertaining to his vocation as a sailor
which is congenial to him at the ad-
vanced age of "a years.
Seaman Coffin is known to every
officer who has graduated from the
Naval Academy since 1865. He halls
from New England and as a young
man served in the merchant service
before enlisting in the United States

FROM CANDIDATE TO PRIEST
A Young Mans Choice of The
Church To That In The
u. S. NAVY.

About a year ago last June Young
James Hollon left his home i'm Wolf
county, in Eastern Kentucky, 10 come
10 Annapolis where he entered pre-
paratory school to study for the exam
ination TO become midshipman at
the Naval Academy. 1t was the de-
sire of his parents that he enter the
navy, and it was his choice land his
ambition as we'll. at that time.
At first all went merry as a mar.
riage bell. The young man studied
and attended recitations with marked
regularity. He was steady in his
habits, but when the time came for
him 10 take his examinations he was
numbered among the unfortunae ones
who failed The bad news was COM
municated 20 his parents, who were
sorely disappointed, and sent return
message that he 'must hustle for
himself. F" The time he had spent in
Annapolis and the expenses necessarily
incurred for books, tuition, board,
laundry, etc, had so reduced the
funds of Mr.. Hollon that he was finan-
cially embarrassed. Fortunately he
had made his home with Christian
people, on Market street, and the fam
lily knowing the circumstances, and
being kindly disposed toward the
young man, did not turn him out in
his distress, but gave him home and
shelter and cared for him as one of
the family until he got something
to do.
After several Intellectual attempts TO
secure work, Mr.. Hollon was given
with the Columbian Fire
Proof Company, sub-contractors on
the midshipmen' quarters at the Ma
val Academy. Here he worked all
last winter, in the meantime making
friends, chief among whom was the
Rev. Charles j. Becker, until recently
attached to st. Mary's Church. Mr..
Hollon manifested a deep interest in
the church and spent hours in serious
and study of church lit
erature. Although not of the same
creed, he became convert to Catholi-
cism and was baptized, later express
ing desire Co study for the clergy
To this end he was given the use of
the church library and read many
books. He did not swerve in his pur-
pose TO become priest, and the good
Fathers of the Redemptorist Order
here, attached to st. Mary's Church,
encouraged the young man in his good
purpose, and lent what aid they could
to help him along educational and
spiritual lines.
Mr. Hollon left here yesterday for
Washington, where he entered the
Georgetown University TO study for
the Jesuit priesthood. The best wish
es of his friends here attend him.
