representative of the Fifth district in
Congress. During his visit Mr. Mudd
also visited the Naval Academy, in
which he takes great pride and much
interest, and for which he was the
prime mover in Congress in securing
the appropriation of $15, 900, 600 for
the new buildings. thereby virtually
establishing the Naval Academy per-
manently at Annapolis.

The Show Company's Dogs

The @. w. Parks big stock company
that is to play weeks engagement
here at the Colonial Theatre. beginning
with tonight, carries three large Eng
Iish Danes. The dogs are fine animals.
They take no part in the show, but
are used as protection when the COM
pany plays in tents in mild weather.
The dogs were on the street today and
were much admired and petted. Al
though huge they are tame and friend
ly. One of the dogs, light gray
beautiful animal. who answers to the
name of Major, goes about on three
feet. His left fore paw has been cut
of. The accident happened when the
dog made himself q hero by saving
the life of his masters daughter, Miss
Nav Park, who was knocked down by
a trolley car in Pittsburg. Major
dragged his mistress from the track
andsaved her life, but lost his foot.
The heroism of the animal has great
ly endeared him TO the Parks house
mold.

Naval Academy Selected.

1t is highly probable that the Naval
Academy will be selected for the
tests of the Parsons turbine, which
the Navy Department has contracted
for. At the last session of Congress
$25, 600 was appropriated for expert
ments with turbine machinery, and.
as the tests must be made in connec-
tion with boiler, the Academy. it is
said, offers the desired facilities for
such an experiment. Later on it is
believed the department also will con-
tract for the testing of Curtis tur-
bine, and the one proving the more
satisfactory will be placed in one of
the scoutships, plans for which are
now being mad5 in the Bureau Of
Construction and Repair.
Considerable difficulty has been en-
countered by the department in OBJ
tanning information about the.turbines.
Although one official was 'given the
rum of the plant of the Parsons Com
pany, he says he found that most of
the buildings were closed to him, and
he came away with practically moth
ing but great claims as to the possi-
biIity of the turbine. 1t is desired
that the scoutships should attain q
speed of "a knots.

Speaking of the claim of the heirs

using that street and await the ac-

ney said today:
Northeast street. now Maryland
avenue, and King George street. were
two of the original streets of Apnapos

pointed by the General Assembly for
the purpose about 170S. The first au-

two lots of this addition, CO. and

His dwelling was destroyed by fire
about 1910, and the land afterwards
sold. His heirs have no possible
claim to any portion of King George
street, aud never claimed any until
the present, nor was any portion of
that street called The Lane.
From the legal aspects too, even
if any right had existed in Mr.. Chase,
his heirs have long since Invested them
selves of it by frequent conveyanees

FIRST PRESENTATION HERE.
FOXY GRANDPA" SWIFT T
AND SPASMODIC.
The Audience Was Not AS Large
AsIt Should Have Been At
The Colonial.

The first presentation in this city
of Foxy Grandpa, was greeted Sat
urday afternoon with a small audi
ence, probably owing to the football
game at the Naval Academy The
audience at night was one of fair
size, but not as large as it should have
been, and the management is some
what discouraged, having lost money
on the last three performances, all of
which rank first-class.
There is but one thing TO do and
that is to bring % and so cent shows
here in order 70 make il pay, and
thereby lower the standard of the
pretty local theatre. If the general
public who clamored for a better
theatre aud higher class shows will
not patronize them, then the manage
ment is forced to cater to another
class. Foxy Grandpa as presented
on Saturday night by Mr.. William A..
Brady with Joseph Hart in the title
role and Carrie DeMar as his leading
support, was all it is represented to be
IA musical snapshot. From be-
ginning to end it is loud, noisy and
swift. Indeed the participants talk
at such rapid rate that more than
half they say is lost TO the audience,
and perhaps to themselves.
For fast talking Foxy Grandpa"
takes the palm. Everybody in the
cast seems to have hustle on and to
be in dead earnest to get his part
through as quickly as possible. All
SCENT TO be on skates and come in and
out as though they are fired from a
cannon. 1t is swift play to say the
least, but it has its good points. MIR.
Hart as grandpa is good Except that
he talks too monotonously fast) and
the two boys, Williams and Sydney,
are very good. They have the 'rush
fever too, and are in a desperate hurry
to get the thing over. Mr. Frank
Mattt tews, the facial artist, is quite
clever, and Miss Randolph, as Sig
norma Colonna, is capable of being
cast in more ambitious play. Miss
DeMar is inclined to overdo her part.
She apparently has. the qualities for a
good actress, but her voice is monot-
onous and she has affected a style OF
speech that is curt, snappy and not at
all pleasing. Some of the songs were
catchy, but few of the voices, except
those of the three Italian bandits,
were good. The play pleased many
who saw it, but it sayors too much OF
the spasmodic to warrant big house
on a return engagement.
