Naval secretaries Portraits

The collection of portraits of Secre-
taries of the Navy since the organiza-
tion of that department in 1898 has
been practically completed by the adj
dition of an oil portrait of Mr.. George
E. Badger, of North Carolina. who
was secretary during the administra-
tion of President William Henry Har-
rison, in 184l Judge Badger was a
distinguished citizen of North Caro-
lima, having served as judge of the
superior court of the state, and hav-
ing represented the state in the United
States Senate from 1916 to 1854. This
was the only portrait of ante bellum
secretaries lacking in the collection,
and its recent discovery in an unused
store room at the Naval Academy was
a source of general qualification to the
authorities, as all previous efforts to
secure the likeness of Secretary Badger
had proved unsuccessful.
The portrait is a fine piece of work
and although painted more than so
years ago is in an excellent state Of
preservation. The frame is in fair
condition, but is beginning 10 show
signs of age The portrait will be re-
touched and the frame repaired and
hung in the Office of the Secretary of
the Navy Portraits of the late Secre-
tary Whitney and former Secretary
Moody are not. at present in the col
lection at the Navy Department The
portrait of Secretary Moody is part
of the exhibit of the navy at the st.
Louis exposition The portrait of Sec
retary Whitney, painted at his order,
is now in the possession of his son,
Mr.. Payne Whiteny, and another por-
trait is being painted for the DEPART
ment.

The First In Drill.

The men of the first Maryland were
kept busy drilling Monday and yester-
day at Manassas. In the morning
they began in good time. First there
was battalion drill. Major Pnrnell's
battalion went through the battle for
nation, and Major Porter's and Major
Wright's battalions all performed the
evolutions we'll. Then Colonel Little
commanded in a regimental drill that
showed the First to advantage. Col
onel Little is very much pleased with
the showing made. The First COM
pares favorably with the men from
any of the states.
Yesterday afternoon Colonel Riggan,
who is acting brigadier- general, COM
manded &C brigade drill. The mas
cots of the First Regiment are two
Annapolis boys, sons of Major Claude.
Gordon Claude is the mascot of Com
pany G, and Howard Claude fills the
same position IN Company M. They
are manly looking boys and are thor
oughIy enjoying this taste of camp
life The excellent arrangement and
appearance of the camp of the First is
frequently remarked by visitors,
while the boys say that the rations
served are "all right.

WEEKLY cRoPBULLETIN
Issued BY Department of Agri-
culture For Maryland
And Delaware.

The first half of the week was
cloudy and comparatively cool, the
low temperatures prevailing the latter
part of the previous week continued
until the 3lst The last half of the
week was very warm for the season,
the days being quite oppressive ana
the nights warm. Temperatures of 30
degrees or above were common ON the
end and 3D.
The week was very dry, there being
even less precipitation than during
the previous week Moderate showers
occurred in the mountain districts on
the 2ud and 3rd and over portions of
the northeastern counties ON the End,
but generally speaking no rain of con-
sequence fell until the 4th, when
showers were fairly general and in
some places moderate TO heavy. The
effects of prolonged dry weather were
becoming very apparent and quite gem
eral by the close of the week. Springs.
streams and wells are low and in
many instances failing altogether.
Roads are very dusty. Early corn has
matured rapidly under favorable con
ditions and is now regarded as safe
from the effects of drouth.
The corn crop will be fair to good,
put not as neaVy as reports some tlme
ago indicated. Rainfall over much
of the Section has not been ample dur
ing the past month, and while corn
has cared we'll considerable firing has
occurred and the weight of the ears
will likely be reduced in consequence.
Late corn has already suffered ma
terially from the drouthy conditions.
In the southern half of the Section the
fodder is drying up prematurely and
much of the crop will be light. Much
fodder has been saved during the
week, the weather having been fine
for the purpose. Peaches were fairly
abundant in most places, as the season
for this fruit eliminated during the
week. AS far as indicated grapes
promise an average crop. Tobacco
ripened well in the central counties,
and was rapidly housed. Late tobac.
co, constituting probably one-half of
the total acreage. is greatly in need Of
rain. Reports continue TO indicate
an excess of ground leaves. The great
er portion of the early crop has now
been housed, and the weather has
been very favorable for cutting and
curing.

Armed to The Teeth.

When it comes to the capture of a
miscreant. this is how the Baltimore
Evening Herald puts it:
"AIverta White, colored, IL years
old, arrested on duplicate warrant
issued by the authorities of the Fifth
district, Anne Arundel county, was
delivered to the chief of the Iural
constabulary, e. X. Harman, at the
Southern Police Station, yesterday
afternoon. The girl, who is small for
her age. is charged with assaulting
and cutting Lula Green. The officer
from the green briar fastnesses of the
Fifth district melon country is a six
footer, and came for his prisoner in
real Wild West fashion.
"A big navy.revolver about eighteen
inches long was strapped across his
breast by a heavy three-in inch strap
the butt resting gently below his
chin. A adge marked him chief OF
the rural sleuths The girl, securely
handcuffed to preclude any possibility
of danger to the officer, was taken to
Anne Arundel county for trial.

Increased Facilities.

For the use of officers and midhip-
men interested in wireless telegraphy,
the Bureau of Equipment will seLd a
number of additional sets of instru-
ments of several systems to the Naval
Academy, where the use of them will,
it is hoped, greatly increase the num-
Der of officers who understand the
wireless telegraph system. There is
considerable apparatus already in use
in the seamanship division at the
Academy. These increased facilities
for the study of the system at the Ma
val Academy will take the place, for
the present, at the proposed school of
wireless telegraphy, which, at one
time, it was thought would be estab
lished at the naval proving ground at
Indian Head, Md. The objection to
Indian Head as the site for such a
school was the absence of buildings
where the men could be housed and
also the inaccessibility of the place.

New York, Sept. Among the
politicians gathered about the head
quarters of the two national commit

day as to the significance of the move
ment in New Jersey to form new
Democratic party, to be known as the
Peoples Democratic party. Accord
ing to dispatch from Atlantic City
the promoters of the movement are to
meet in convention there today for
the purpose of choosing state ticket
and presidential electors. Those who
profess to know the details of tho
plan say the men behind the party
are those who labored for William X.
Hearst in the Democratic state con
vention of New Jersey and who bolted
the regular party then and held an in
dependent convention. Recently they
issued manifesto in which they took
the leaders of the regular" wing
of the party bitterly to task and init
mated that Democratic harmony, in so
far as New Jersey was concerned, was
