CAPE HENRY Va. June 30, 1904
Fishing has become one of the most popu-
lar pastimes here for the past few days
There has been a noticeable increase in the
number of small boats on the waters of
Lynn Haven inlet occupied by ambitious
anglers, and the fact that the sport has
taken such hold on a great many of the
visitors is due to the excellent catches
made. Spots and mullets bite almost as
quick as the lines are thrown over, while
outside, in the deeper water of Chesapeake
bay, bluefsh and sea trout are occasion
ally hauled in.
1t has been definitely stated that large
up-to-date hotel will be erected on the Cape
early next fall. Operations will be begun
I'm time to complete it by the opening of the
early spring season. There are several
weli-known hotel men interested in the
movement and it is their purpose to make
the cape a winter and spring health resort
IN addition to the special summer season.
Closely following this announcement comes
the rumor that the boardwalk along the
ocean front will be erected at the same
time. and the Casino will probably inclose
its large upper deck to form comfortable
paror. nj
The Methodist Episcopal Church now
being erected on Both street will soon be
by some one of the Norfolk clergy until
such time as the bishop may see fit to as
sign a regular pastor.4. Capt. Nelson A

One of the pleasant things about Capon

never to be any strangers, and the gay
parties suggest one big, happy family,
having a reunion at Capon every summer.

Academy of Music.

For the second week of their engage
ment at the Academy OF Music, Baltl-
more. the Nixon & Zimmerman Opera
Company will present Francis Wilson S
greatest success, tErminie. "Erminie
IS the one opera that has met with uni
versal approval from the Theatre going
public, because it is an opera OF genuine
merit. For its presentation next week
the original scenery and costumes, which
were used by the Francis Wilson Com
pany, have been secured, and this will
be the first time this opera has been pre-
sented in the city at popular prices.
"Erminie" is musical affair written
before plots were slurred by the librettists.
and for the benefit OF those who have
never seen it, it may be briefly related
that the action Of the piece takes place
in one day-the birthday of "Erminie.
She arrives at the village of Pomvert
with her fond papa, who happens to be
a marquis. She comes to see the coun-
try fair, but her sire has other motives.
He wishes his daughter to meet the
Vicomte de Brissac. to whom he has be-
trothed the Dung woman without goingto
the trouble of consulting her in the
matter. OF course "Erminie" is annoy
ed when the announcement is made.
About this time Robert M. Ravennes
ahd Jacques Cadeaux appear on the
stage and it soon becomes evident that
they intend to rob the Vicomte. Ravennes
assumes the Vicomte's title, travels
about in style and finally brings things
to a pleasing end amid charming music
and pleasing and entertaining situations.

To Change Branch of Service

Theodore Roosevelt Parker, Jr.,
has been permitted by the Navy De-
partment to resign as private in the
Marine Corps to enlist as sailor in
the navy, and he will be assigned to
duty on the battleship Ohio. soon TO
be commissioned at San Francisco.
The Navy Departments action was
taken at the request of the President,
whose attention was called to the
young mans application by Represen-
tatiye Bell of California.
The President was astonished to find
that his name was borne. not only by
a young man in the Marine Corps, but
by his father before him, and the coin
cidence evidently struck his fancy, for
he granted the young mans applica-
ton. The papers do not show what
young Parker's politics is, and both
candidates are entitled to claim him
on the strength of his name.

communicated.

Mr.. Editor Now that the city has
been presented with fine set of colors
bv the officers and crew of the gun
boat Annapolis, would it not be well
for the citizens of this city TO show
their appreciation of this gift by try
ing to procure q flag pole on which
to display these colors? As everyone
knows, there is not pole in the city
which we can use, or which is high
enough for this purpose. Therefore.
Mr.. Editor, / would like to suggest
that the citizens get together and try
to create fund by public subscription
for the purpose of securing a fagpole
of suitable height. AS everyone will
agree, the -coiors are of no use if they
are to be kept wrapped up and not dis
played. cannot say what would be
the best plan to adopt in getting
enough money for this pole, but /
am sure that the citizens of Annapolis
are public spirited enough to do all
they can 70 show their appreciation
of this handsome gift. II. S. K.
