IMPROVEMENTS ON SPA.
Boucher's Grove Being Pot In Con-
dition For Athletics.

Messrs. Marcy and Jack Boucher,
proprietors of the summer resort across
Spa creek, known as Boucher on
the Spa, - are making number of i'm.
provements TO that place. When this
popular resort reopens next summer
the people of Annapolis will have a
place to go which they will be proud
of as the Messrs. Boucher are always
trying TO please and look after the in
terests of their many patrons. The
field used by the Annapolis Gun Club
has been leveled off, cleared of stumps
and weeds and will be turned into a
football aud baseball field. This.
when completed. will be as fine a field
as can be found anywhere, and large
enough, if necessary, to play two
games of baseball at one time.
The dirt taken from this field has
been used to terrace the bank facing
Eastport bridge. which the owners
propose the coming spring to SOW
grass sead ON. In addition TO the
above improvements the steps leading
TO the grounds have been rebuilt and
now face this side of Spa creek, and
several picnic sheds have been erected
on the bank facing the creek. The
dancing pavilion, which was hardly
large enough TO accommodate the
crowds that went over to Boucher's
Grove this summer, will be made
larger and when completed will have
a floor space of 4Sxl00 feet Around
this pavilion will be placed l6-fnot
porch. Another wharf is TO be erect
ed near the present one and the heats
instead of landing on the side of the
wharf will 60 between the two wharves
which Mr.. Boucher says will avoid
any person from falling overheard.
The fourteen acres, which compose this
resort are being fenced in with a wire
fence. Mr.. Frederick Stehle, who has
the contract to level off the field, has
been at work for the past ten days,
and it will take few more days be-
fore his work is completed.

CONGRESSMAN MUDD HERE
Bring Petition To Take Another
Mudd's Name Off
The Ticket.

Congressman Sydney Il. Mudd, who
has been renominatedN by the Repub-
licans in this district, was in Annap-
oils today and visited the Executive
Department in order to take up the
matter of the placing of the name of
Independent Republican Candidate
John Il. Mudd on the official ballot
Mr.. Mudd said that the validity Of
the petition of nomination could easily
be impeached so as TO leave hardly
single Legitimate signer. He special
Iy claims that the Baltimore signers,
who number exactly one hundred,
have not made affidavit TO their inten-
tion to support their nominee, as a
local law, passed in 1902, requires.
Others, he claims, have one or more
requirement left out so that the whole
number, 402, can easily be reduced
below the minimum of 300.
Congressman Mudd said that he did
not anticipate the necessity of bring
ing a legal action TO prevent the plac-
ing of the name on the official ballot,
but that he was sure that when the
Attorney General had his attention
called TO the matter he would instruct
the Secretary of State to withhold it.
He, therefore made that request
through Mr. Carl Hardy, who had
charge Of the Executive office in the
absence of Secretary Tilghman, and
Mr.. Hardy left for Baltimore on the
noon train, carrying the petition,
which he will lay before the Attor-
ney General

THE CHILD'S ARM SAVED
SkillfuI Surgery Performed On Little
Minnie Lee.

Little Minnie Leee, three years old,
daughter of Mr.. William ID. Lee of
South River, came home from Johns
Hopkins Hospital on Saturday last,
where she has been for several months.
The child was shot by an old gun in
the hands of her little brother one
Sunday afternoon early last spring
The entire barrel of bird shot was dis
charged in her left arm. She was
brought to the Emergency Hospital,
this city, and treated by DR.. Joseph
O. Bloodgood, of Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, Baltimore, who came down es-
pecially to treat the child. DIR. Blood
good is one of the visiting staff of the
local hospital and he took great inter
est in the case, using every means to
save the little girls arm. which, it
was feared, at first, must needs be
amputated
DR.. Bloodgood, realizing that the
child could not receive all his atten-
tion here that the case demanded, had
her removed to Baltimore, where
every means in human skill was exer-
cised to save the arm. The result is
highly satisfactory. Little Minnie
Lee returned on Saturday with her
arm healed and with perfect use of it.
During her stay of many weeks at~the
Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore,
she became a great favorite at the
hospital with doctors and nurses.
The saving of the child's arm which
was shattered and torn, the muscles
and tendons being severed, is consid-
cred q remarkable case of skillful sur
gerry. The child's parents are highly
pleased at the result of the treatment.
