A MIDSHIPMAN DROWNED.

Annapolis, Md.-Midshipman Philip

member of the third class of the Ma
val Academy, was drowned about two
miles off the academy. he left the
academy dock in a sailing launch with
Midshipmen Anderson, Henderson,
Towers and Stevenson, all of the third
class. The boat was without a centre
board or air tanks. and, being caught
by a strong gust Of wind, capsized and
sank Immediately.
The five young men struggled in the
water for about twenty minutes be-
fore succor reached them from another
academy boat containing several other
midshipmen. AS the rescuing sailboat
came near oars were thrown to the
struggling men, but Midshipman Brit
tingham was unable to grasp his. Mid.
shipman G. T. Blackburn, who was in
the second boat, plunged overheard.
and in his attempt to rescue his drown
ing classmate was dragged under.
Both came to the surface, and Mid
shipman r. R. Steuart went to the as
sistance of Blackburn. Their COM
bined efforts proved unavailing, and
Birmingham sank in seventeen feet Of
water. The other four midshipmen
were picked up and the rescuer dived
overheard in repeated but unsuccessful
efforts to find the body.
Midshipman Birmingham was nine
teen years old, and a son Of the Rev.

Theatres and Fires.

life of the theatre manager in Berlin
has not been a happy II The police
decree was promptly issued under
which, ever since, at every theatre III

to be lowered after every act, and as
this curtain weighs about five TONS
the constant repetition Of the opera
ton is not without its inconvenience.
The other night it brought about a
queer deadlock at the Metropol The
atre, where, as the fire curtain stuck
at the end of the last act but one, the
performance was stopped for the night,
despite the protests of the public. who
did not even get their money back.
The only solace offered by the manage
ment was tt fix the lapsed act for the
afternoon next but one, for which
tickets were issued free as the audi
ence left the theatre.-London Globe.
