TRAMP AND HIS FRIENDS.
What Tramp Dog Finds These
WintrY Days to Amusc
Himself.

Tramp is the name of a monde
script, unowned and unclaimed dog
who makes his home in any part of
Eastport, where night overtakes him.
Friends he has in plenty, but such has
become his desire to wander that no
particular place does he call home.
Bright and early in the mornings
he sallies forth from his place of con-
cealment and goes to the nearest
house, where previous receptions give
warrant of q breakfast. With a wide
ly wagging tail and roguish eyes he
soon disposes of all supplies laid before
him. Breakfast disposed of he wan
ders off to engage in play with the
small boys of the neighborhood. Dur
ing the past two weeks he has been
enjoying himself to a considerable ex-
tent. He is readily approached by any
one of pleasing aspect and on this the
boys make use of Tramp as means OF
locomotion.
A lad on skates or STOPPING on a
sled grasps Tramp firmly by his
caudal appendage. A friend further
down the street whistles to Tramp
and the procession starts. He moves
with great speed over the icy walks
and snow covered roadway.and seems
to enjoy the sport as much as do the
boys. Back and forth he carries the
boys until it is time for another meal.
This is always furnished him and he
is again ready for another period of
sport. He has made his home in
Eastport for long time, but no one
seems to know from whence he came
or what particular feature of Eastport
life it was that prompted him to make
his home in that baliwick.

hung there. Some of the drawings are
very artistic and all are executed by
the pupils.

Governor Warfield will have a
Christmas tree in the Executive Man
sion for his little daughter. 1t will be
the first decorated tree in the house
for q number of years Mr.. John r.
Sullivan, assistant superintendent of

Anne Arundel county cedar. Although
the Governor does not expect to spend

termined to have his official residence

Mrs. Warfield will be surrounded by
their entire family at the Mansion.

GREEN GOODS LETTERS.
Many Have Been Received By
Merchants And Others of
Annapolis.

In spite of the recent arrests in New
York and other eastern cities of green
goods men and those who really han
die spurious coin letters are being re-
ceived every few days by residents of
Annapolis and the county from green
goods dealers.
Rvery effort is being made to cap
ture some OF the money which is sup
posed to be in possession of the general
public at this time of the year for
Christmas purposes and which it is
thought is easily secured. One Of the
letters, typical of its class, was re-
ceived this week by Mr.. Robert Wood
worth. To the federal government
these letters are of little value as far
as offering any opportunity of making
arrests are concerned. Hundreds of
them are sent out daily. but the chance
of arresting any of the instigators by
means OF the letters is very poor.
Any Annapolitans who receive
green goods letters will be wise if
they make no effort TO connect with
the large sums of money which it is
claimed can be made by the purchase
Of the green goods offered. The
writers of the letters claim that by a
secret. known only to themselves, the
secured possession of steel dies from
the government and therefore are we'll
prepared to issue government notes.
They agree to sell this money at ridic-
ulously low prices and try to secure
an appointment for an interview with
the prospective purchaser If he makes
the appointment ana keeps the inter
view he sees no counterfeit money,
lice' the money and schemers disap-
pear.

The Flaming Arrow.

On Monday, December 26, matinee
and night, at the Colonial Theatre,
the romantic melodrama 1.-THE Flam-
ing Arrow" will be presented. This
play is from the pen of Lincoln j.
Carter, that past master in the con-
struction of melodramas ana novel
effects. In addition to q company
which is large and artistically strong,
he has secured many novelties with
which to add realism to the situations
of the play. Among the features are
Moon Dog. the famous warrior. Red
Flash, Custer's famous Indian scout,
and the man who carried Custer s
last message. An interesting feature
is genuine Indian brass band, who
are graduates of Carlisle and all fine
musicians.

No Proclamation Needed

Many persons are under the erro-
neous impression that a proclamation
by Governor Warfield will be necessary
to make next Monday legal holiday,
as Christmas viii fall on Sunday.

Public General Laws provides that
when Christmas and New Years Day
fall on Sunday, the following Mon
day shall be legal holiday By IAN
act passed by the Legislature of 1898,
commercial paper falling due ON a
holiday is payable the next day.
Therefore, notes and bills coming due
on December 26 and January will
not be liable to protest for non- pay
ment until the close of business on

tively.

Sheathing The Boats

Many of the oystermen who work
the bay shore and who were unpre-
pared for the coming of ice are now
forced to lose considerable time in
order that their boats may be protect
ed. Such is the cutting power of the
ice along the water lines of the bat

badly injured this winter. Along the
shore can be seen dozens of the men
busily engaged in sheathing their
boats with tin.copper or zink in order

Must Be Vaccinated

Orders have been issued from school
headquarters with reference to care
full examination of all pupils as to
whether or not they have ever been

cry Of Jenner and they have been or
dered to remain from school until such
time as they can show they have been

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July lit is
officially announced that Rt. Rev. Jo-
seph ]. Fox has been selected to sue
coed Archbishop Messmer as bishop
OF the diocese of Green Bay. : Arch
bishop Messmer said of Father Fox:
I have always looked upon him as
the one man for the place, he being
thoroughly and intimately acquainted
with the conditions of the diocese. No
man in the diocese is so well liked by
the clergy and the laymen alike. In
fact he was their choice for the posi-
ton. Father Fox has always possessed
the confidence of the people in mark
ed degree. I believe that the diocese
of Green Bay could not be given into
better hands,

priesthood in 1870, his first pastoral
work being at New Franken. in Brown
county. Later he had charges at Mar
inette and Green Bay. He was APP
