 Erysipelas or St Anthony's fire is a most uncomfortable disease on account of the burning, the pain and the dis tigurement and is attended always by the danger of involving vital organs.

THE SEAMEN'S GRAND BALL
Men of The Santee Give Dance AT
Assembly Rooms "A Nae
teal Affair.

The Thanksgiving eve ball given by
the enlisted men (coIoredl of the u.
s. s. Santee and ships at the Naval
Academy on Wednesday evening at
the Assembly Rooms was very pleas
ant affair in colored society. The
rooms have seldom been decorated
with so much taste as on this occa-
sion. The walls of the ballroom
we're hung with gay colored remnants
and streamers suggestive OF ships.
The end of the room facing the en-
trance was quite artistic. In the CEN
tire a ships topsail was suspended and
on its white surface as background
stood out in bold relief the pennant
in blue and gold "U.S 5. Santee,
Naval Academy"
In the right corner of the room facing
the entrance, a very attractive reeely-
ing stand was erected, draped in beau
tifuI flags and shields. Here Mrs.
Gibson received with Seaman Russell.
There were twenty dances on the pro.
gram, which was very neat anu
beautiful souvenir of the occasion.
Music was furnished by the Common
wealth Band of baltimore, the must
clans being seated in the gallery. In
the lower room supper was served.
Two long tables were spread with
large pumpkins representing fruit
baskets filled with fruit. Appetizing
roast pig oTnamented each end OF the
table. The garnishing was most ar
tistic. All sorts of designs in stars,
anchors, hearts, diamonds. ETC., we're
cut from turnips, beets and carrots
and used for garnishing the dishes.
Delicious punch, salad, and sand
witches were served with hot coffee.
Ice cream and cake also formed part
of the menu. The dining room was
| in charge of Steward L. Kirby and
W. 4. Johns, 70 both OF whom much
credit is due for the artistic garnish-
| ing of dishes and preparation OF the
wholesome supper.
The ball was altogether successful
affair and we'll managed and much
credit is due to the officers, l: j..
| Ridgely. president; W. Taylor, vice
president; W. F. Thorogood, secretary
and J. G. Jordon, treasurer. The re-
ception committee consisted of Il.

ed, as aboard ship, from the old bell
that formerly belonged to the steamer
Phlox and was suspended from the
centre of the gallery, at the entrance
of the ballroom. The colored seamen
we're in uniform and the entire affair
had a nautical flavor. Those in
charge are to be congratulated on the
success of their efforts.

THE Sorceress" at The Acad-
envy of Music

On Monday evening next at the
Academy of Music, Baltimore, Charles
Frohman will present 1.-THE Sor.
ceress, the latest and generally con-
coded greatest play by Victorien Sar-
dou, Frances foremost dramatic au-
thor, whose Fedora, Gismonda, Di-
plomacy and other celebrated pieces
are known the world over. This new
drama is in reality a fascinating and
thrilling romance of old Spain and
the Spanish Inquisition. In it Mrs.
Patrick Campbell, the celebrated Eng
lish actress, has the chief role, Zoraya,
a part created originally for Sarah
Bernhardt and played by the French
actress last season in Paris and Lon.
don with sensational effect.
For the English versionfof the play,
which is being done first in America,
Mr.. Frohman specially selected Mrs.
Campbell as the artist best fitted to
embody Sardou's creation, and the
signal triumph she has scored in it
has borne out his judgment. Her inn
personation of Zoraya, the young
Moorish woman, who casts spell of
enchantment upon Christian noble
man of old Spain. is the most power
fuf and attractive acting his great
emotional artist has ever done. For
the past six weeks 1.-The Sorceressn
has crowded the new Amsterdam
Theatre, New York. 1t comes to the
Academy with the original company,
scenery and accessories intact In Mrs
Campbell's support are Gus Standing,
Frederick Perry, Fuller Meilish,
George Ridell, Gertrude Coghlan,
Alice Butler an thirty others.
