THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE
Many Interesting Addresses We're
Made At The Third
DAVIS Session.

Closing exercises were held today
at the annual institute Of the Anne
Arundel county teachers. The attend
ance was fully assgood as on the open
ing day and copious notes were taken
by those present on the various ques-
tions discussed. Many of those in at
tendance expressed themselves as .very
much pleased with the result of the
institute and we're of the opinion that
il was one of the most interesting ever
held here.
The addresses of Mr.. M. Bates Ste
phens, state superintendent of eduea-
tion, were very interesting, as were
those of Mr.. j. NJ. Gambrill. 1t was
suggested by some of the teachers that
as the bulk of the members are made
up of those who do not teach graded
schools, more attention should be
given by the institute TO instruction
pertaining to the work of the country
schools. The subject discussed at the
round table this morning was "Con-
ditions Conducive to Healthful Work.
1t was lead by Mr.. II. Il. Wallis and
other topics growing out Of the subject
were handled by Miss Anna W. Barber
and Mr. j. Howard Beard. A very
pleasing address was made by Mr..
George p. Bible. After brief address
Mr.. j. NJ. Gambrill delivered an in
teresting talk on History" The
question box was opened and followed
by an address by Mr. George p. Bible.
After a few closing remarks the insti-
tute adjourned.

A MEMORIAL MONUMENT,
To Be Erected At The Naval
Cemetery, On The Gov
ernment Farm.

Brlgadier General Thomas Ward,
u. S. A., of Washington, is in Annap-
oils making final arrangements for the
erection of a monument in the Naval
Cemetery, on the Government Farm.
He is accompanied by Mr.. j. H. Wall
ing, the famous New York sculptor.
Today they visited the cemetery for
the purpose of inspecting the place
where it is intended to erect the monu-
ment in order that the design and gen.
eral dimensions may be arrived at.
Just what shape it will take is not
known, but it is understood that it
will be of great value and beauty.
The monument is to be erected in
honor of the son of Brigadier- General
Ward The young man graduated from
he Naval Academy in the class of last
year and left here on the Missouri for
q two years cruise. During gunnery
practice q magazine exploded and
Ward and another ensign, W. K. P.
Neumann, were killed.
1t was stated that the bravery of the
two young men alone prevented more
serious consequences. Thomas Ward,
Jr., the sou of the Brigadier General,
was very well known here, as also was
Neumann. They we're inseparable CON-
panions and were much seen in society
outside of the Academy. The monu-
ment to Ward will probably be COM
pIeted in thesearly spring and lerected
as soon as the conditions of the weather
will permit.

QUIET THANKSGIVING.
Many Officials At The National
Capital Leave For Their
Homes Today.

Washington, ID. O.. Nov 80 Pres
emit signs point to rather quiet
Thanksgiving for the national capital
tomorrow. Many public officials have
left for their homes in other parts of
the country to eat their dinners of
turkey and cranberry sauce. Included
among the absentees are several mem
bers of the cabinet.
The occupants of the White House
will pass the day after the usual GUS
tom. Some changes in the usual pro-
gramme will be necessitated, however.
by the fact that the President has
fixed tomorrow night as the time for
his departure for st. Louis. In view
of this circumstance it is probable
that he will find it necessary to spend
part of the day with Secretary Loeb
and his assistants, instead of closely
the executive offices entirely as he has
done in past years. But If there is
any business to transact at the White
House it will not be permitted to in
terfere in the slightest with the
Thanksgiving dinner. The President
is q strickler in regard to the obser-
vance of the day with q good old
fashioned turkey dinner.
The President insists that all of
the members of his family shall be
present on this occasion. There are
no house guests at the White House
this year, but number of intimate
friends in official life have received
invitations to partake of the feast.
Mr. Roosevelt will carve his own tur-
key, which will be a Rhode Island
bird of the finest breed. Each year
at Thanksgiving time the noblest
gobbler that little state is sent to the
President of the United States, being
selected with the utmost care by an
old gentleman named Horace Vose, of
Westerly, who for more than. quar-
ter of century has taken pride in
making this annual contribution to
the table of the White House. Tur-
KEYS from many other quarters have
been received at the White House
during the week. These were dis
tributed this morning by Secretary
Loeb among the ushers, doorkeepers
and other attaches of the executive
mansion.
Plans for the Presidents trip to st.
Louis were practically completed to-
day Secretary and Mrs. Loeb will
accompany the Roosevelts. A few
members of the White House staff also
will go along. 1t is evident from
this that the President intends put
ting the finishing touches on his mes
sage to Congress during the trip as
well as attending to other executive
business which can be done en- route.

At Colonial Theatre

The average theatre-goer has well
developed taste for excitement and adj
venture. He will find plenty of both
in the Man o. Wars Man, which is
one of the plays this season in the
repertoire of Thomas E. Shea. He
will also find plenty of patriotism, for
the piece is founded on the Munroe
Doctrine, which was SO much talked
about when President Cleveland made
public his famous Venezuela message.
Mr.. Shea impersonates the role of
the dashing young naval hero. Jack
Conway, and there is a charm to his
Derformance of the part which never
fails to impress itself on his auditors.
Mr.. Shea will be seen in this city
at the Colonial Theatre on December 10

edged blade cut through his right shoe
and into his foot That member was
opened from between the great toe
and its fellow almost TO the instep.
He was almost overcome by the great
pain, but tried TO stop the excessive
bleeding, however without success. The
bright crimson stream convinced him
that an artery had been severed and
he knew that unless help was soon Sc
cured he would bleed to death.
As best he could he made his way
to the house, distance of a quarter
of a mile, where he harnessed horse
Climbing into the buggy he made a
record run in search of a physician.
After going to the home of two and
finding neither one at home, he decided
to come to Annapolis. BY that time
the blood was flowing from his foot
in a stream, ,satruating the robe he had
wrapped about it and covering the
bottom of the buggy. When he reach
ed the Severn river ferry there was
such glut of other rigs to cross that
he could not get his rig aboard. Leav-
ing the exhausted horse in the care of
an acquaintance he was helped into a
wagon already ON the scow and quick
time was made across the river. Ar
irving ON this side he was hurried to
the Office OF DR.. Henkel, where he
was given immediate attention.
There it was found that he had sew
cred several muscles and arteries and
must have lost a large quantity Of
blood. Many stitches were required
to close the wound. After being given
restoratives Mr.. Duval was removed
to his home.
