Amateur Actors Bad Break. :

Charles Frohman, the theatrical
manager, tells of an amusing
blunder made by a young actor in
one of his productions. Up to this
time the young man had not risen
above thinking parts. but at last
he was intrusted with this ex-
clamation: The king is dead
long live the king" On the first
night of the play he became more
and more nervous as the time
drew near for him to utter the
words quoted. His cue came and
he was trembling with bad case
Of stage fright At length his
voice came and this was the use
he made of it: Long live the
king; he is dead"

HOME CLUB LOSES MATCH.
The Prospect Team Wins BY Small
Margin The Deciding
Match.

When the home team returned last
night from Baltimore it was not bear
ing palms of victory, but it was not
whit a feeling that the team had been
covered with defeat. The Prospect
Shooting Association had won the de-
Gliding match, but only at close mar
gin by score of 10 targets 1t was
the third of the series of contests.
The first match was won by the An
napolis club by ! i targets; the second
going to the Prospects by 80 targets.
Each team was composed of 10 men,
having 90 targets TO a man. The traps
were set at such an angle that the
targets mounted high in the air, max
ing them more difficult to hit. AL
though defeated two out of three
matches, the home club gave the Pros
pect shooters a close run for their vic
tory. Five hundred targets were shot
at before the Prospect men could gain
any lead, and then they only led by
one target.
The race was exciting from start to
finish, and only through the last squad
did the Prospect men show any ap-
parent advantage. Thompson showed
more skill and accuracy than any
other man ON the team, breaking 40 out
of a possible 80. Medinger came next
with "A, while Carr was a close fol-
lower with as. In the first round
Thompson, Cantler and Medinger each
broke "a out of 20 targets. No one
had straight run to his credit. Many
other experts were on hand, and in
the sweepstake events Wood, Malone
and Hawkins led the list. Capt. Will
bert Robinson did stunt with the
fowling piece that greatly surprised
his friends by breaking is out of 20
targets. Ruths showed considerable
skill and broke 20 straight. The home
club aggregation left last night for
home.

THE MIDDIES LEAVE IN STYLE
A Special Pullman Car Over The
Pennsylvania Railroad
For The West.

A Pennsylvania special left here at
3. 80 this afternoon for Chicago and
the West carrying several hundred
midshipmen who have "A months leave
and who have gone home To visit for
that time.
To accommodate the future admirals
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
was equal 10 the emergency and sent
here the special for this purpose. The
train consisted of six Pullman coaches,
one diner, one day coach and two
baggage cars and when this imposing
looking train pulled out from the old
line depot ON West street over the A.,
W. & b. Railroad this afternoon it
looked like the Congressional Limit
ed The train made no stops until
it reached Odenton, where it switched
OFF over the Pennsylvania railroad.
It was a great convenience for the
midshipmen to have transportation
from Annapolis direct to Chicago
without change of cars, and they ap-
preciated the advantage of this method
of travel rather than going TO Wash
ington, as customary and making con
nectiOns for the West To accommo-
date the middies with tickets TO all
points West, the Pennsylvania road
sent four agents TO assist the local
ticket agents of the company. The
platform at the old line depot was
piled high with every conceivable
shape and size of baggage, from hand
grip and dress suit case to a steamer
trunk and Saratoga. With the six
Pullman coaches and four other cars
making a train of ten coaches, pulled
in at the station this afternoon and
the baggage piled several feet high,
the old line depot had the appearance
of Atlantic City. 1t was u merry
party of midshipmen who left for a
months vacation after the cruise
and who will return a month hence
to face stern realities and. military
discipline.

Struck BY Short Line Train

Andross b. Dunn, young man re-
siding at Jessups, in Anne Arundel
county, who was struck by the 10. 10
a. IN. Short Line train from Balti-
more last Friday morning, and severe
ly injured, was in Annapolis today
with Sheriff Hardy TO see Superinten-
dent Shellman b. Brown, of the Short
Line road with reference to the acci-
dent. Mr.. Dunn was returning from
Baltimore and was crossing the rail-
road rack at Shipley's station when
the train came around the curb and
struck his wagon, demolishing it and
send ing Mr.. Dunn several feet in the
air, severely cutting his face, bruising
his back and hip, and knocking him
by the fall unconscious.
He was picked upby the train hands
and taken TO Glen Burnie, but the
resident physician being away his
wounds were dressed by DIR. Ham
mond, and he was sent to his home at
Jessups. His face is severely cut and
presents the appearance of prize
fighter after several rounds in the ring
with his antagonist. 1t is claimed by
the railroad officials that Dunn was
asleep ON his wagon when he crossed
the track AS it was he made mar
row escape from being killed

THE GOVERNOR HERE.
Will Attend Meeting Of The State Board
Of Education Today.

Governor Warfield arrived here this
afternoon to attend the meeting of the
State Board of Education. Tomorrow
he will have his official day and it is
expected he will name the one member
of the Board of School Commissioners
for Anne Arundel county to fill the
vacancy created by the death of DIR.
Elijah Williams.
The trustees of the House of Correc-
tion met in the Governor Office, Bal.
timore, yesterday morning and went
over the bids that had been submitted
for the work on the new cells and en-
gines that are to be installed at the in
stitution. The bids were referred for
tabulation, and the contracts will
probably be awarded when the Cover
nor returns from st. Louis. The Gov
ernr will not take up the Poe case un-
til his return from the Worlds Fair.
Strong pressure has been brought to
bear upon the Governor fer commu-
tation of the sentence of Leonard, the
wife murderer, who is sentenced to be
hanged in the Baltimore City Jail
yard on Friday. The Executive has
been making inquiries into the causes
which led to the murder of Mrs.
Leonard. The Governor would not
say what he would do, but it is un-
derstood that if he decides there is
sufficient cause for clemency, he will
save Leonard from the gallows.

SAD ENDING OF THE CRUISE
Drowning of First Class Appren-
tice From The u. S. S.
Hartford.

A sad ending TO the cruise of mid
shipmen happened this morning at ii
O'Clock when First Glass Apprentice
Schrade, was drowned from the Uni
ted States Ship Hartford.
The young seaman was attached to
the Massachusetts and was visiting
the Hartford. AS he was going up
the gang plank he lost his balance and
fell overheard. He went down in
thirty feet of water and did not rise
again.
Several divers are at work diving
for the body, but up TO this time it
has not been found. This makes the
third man lost from this fleet this
summer. There were two men lost
when the fleet started out. One of
them was lost from the Texas on the
same day that the fleet left the harbor
The one today, by q coincidence, was
drowned on the same day that the fleet
returned. The young man had just
expressed his delight on returning TO
Annapolis and spoke of the leave that
he would get. The accident has cast
a gloom over the whole feet.
1t seems a strange coincidence that
a man should have been drowned the
very day the fleet left, and another
met a similar fate the day the fleet re-
turned. On June 4, as the coast
squadron with the midshipmen aboard
for their summer cruise was about to
sail, James Spencer Hopkins, sea
man ON the flagship Texas, was drown
ed. His body was not recovered for
several DAYS after the ships left.

Paid His Enemy's Fine.

An interesting case was tried this
morning before Justice John N. Davis,
in which the principal in the case
paid the offenders fine. Richard
Marion owns farm in the Third dis
trict He had recently employed a
man to work ON the farm named
Timothy O'Harra. Timothy fell off
the water wagon and his bibulous
habits were an annoyance to Mr.. Nor
ton, who gave him notice to quit his
job. This Timothy refused to do, and
after repeated effort to rid himself OF
O'Harra's services his employee swore
out a warrant for the laborer's arrest
on the charge of trepsass. The case
was heard before Justice Davis this
morning and the evidence showed
O'Harra had no right ON the place.
He was fined 50 and costs, which he
did not have, and his former employer
paid the fine and also the lawyers s
fee. Mr.. Morton said he did not want
to injure the man or deprive him of
his liberty. but he wanted to assert
his right to discharge an unsatisfac-
tory employe.

FEMALE GREEKS N A SCRAP
An Attack Is Renewed On One of
Their Colony Established
In This CITY.

The attack upon Gus Cardes by two
Greeks about week ago was appar-
emily renewed last night by some of
the female members of the Greek col
ony established here. Cardes, who
has been established here for a num-
ber of years in the confectionery bust
ness, had been on the excursion TO Toll
chester. He was returning with some
friends by way of Church street, when
the unexpected happened.
Two women in the store of Conits
at the fiatiron corner of Church and
Frances streets, were standing in the
store door when Cardes passed, and
doubtless being incensed at what had
already happened, their Greek spirit
rebeled and got the better of their
Judgment. Be this as it may, a lively
encounter took place and two hundred
people gathered on the spot in short
order. Two of the women jumped at
Cardes and it is said one pulled his
hair. The two were reinforced by a
third and loud Words were used that
no one could understand except Greeks
or those who can interpret the Greek
language.
One word that was used freely is
said to be the grossest insult to a
Greek and means literally that he has
forfeited his entrance through the
Golden Gates and is past redemption.
The police interfered and warrants
were sworn out for the arrest of all
parties. There will be hearing at 2. 30
O'Clock tomorrow before Justice Field
