That hyperbole Of crime and female
~reprobates known to the police from
New YORK TO San Francisco &c "Faint-
ing Bertha" has added a new chapter
to her record OF things done She has
caught an Omaha preac1er. Bertha
Il bad because she grew that way. and
she probably wouldn't II she could be
other than she Is. Her favorite stunt,
as her name indicates, is 10 faint IN
the arms OF her victim and snip off bis
pocket while he is tanning her face
Also when she il caught in the c or
with the goods upon her, she iaints in
the hope Of being sent to the hospi-
tai where the chances Of escape IRE
better thar at the c,laboose.
An appeal to sympathy is the me
thod she resorts to for securing immu-
nifty for her ~misdOings. And she has
just met with surprising success at he
hands Of the Rev. Charles W. Savidg i,
a tender hearted, unsOphisticaied
preacher 10 Omaha. He has carried
ber cause into the pulpit. Il will
never forget the look she gave me
when / visited her at the city prison."
said this reverend gentleman in his
sermon last Sunday. when she
knew my errand she softened down,
and after 1 had spoken to her for 3
little time the woman laid her head
on the table and sobbed as II her
heart would break, and then told the
story Of her sad life-how from an
ardent Sunday school student q. the
age of II years she had ripened at "a
into a hardened criminal" The Rev.
Savidge was 90 touched by the simple
tale Of 3 misspent life that he begged
the mothers OF his congregation who
had daughters Of their own to send
Bertha peaches, oranges and other
fresh fruit and so keep up her spirits
her trial next October"
The Omaha minister has the fault
common to all sentimentalists who
strive to uplift the wicked. He Is too
trusting. He listens to the tale of q
cunning liar who makes mendacity
aud deception her implements OF trade
and believes what she tells him. Il is
not probable that the levelheaded
members If his church will follow his
advice. The plan he has suggested lie
more creditable to bis heart than to
his head.

"Grass is the forgiveness of Nature
her constant benediction. Fields

idence. r. L., who. with Mrs. Fiske,

wife of Lieut.. w. b. Wells. u. s.

afternoon DIR. Fiske preached to q

Church. His text was the first chap
ter of Philippians and the sixth
verse: "Being confident of this very
thing that lie which hath begun a
good work in.you will perform it until
the day of Jesus Christ. +" DIR. Fiske's
theme was Goods Care for the De-
parted. 1t was especially applicable
to the month of November, which is
the month of death, or as the preacher
callel it "calm decay" The sermon
was beautiful one and was listened
to with wrapt attention. DR.. Fiske

Minstrels Saturday Night

A large audience filled the Colonial
Theatre Saturday night TO witness the
performance of John w. Vogel's Big
City Minstrels. Ii is safe to say that
everybody was highly pleased with
the exhibition given. 1t was the first
visit of the Vogel minstrels in this
city and the troupe made a decided
hit, giving an entertainment that has
equa ed, if not surpassed. any similar
show of the kind given in Annapolis.
The program includes everything that
can be expected in a modern, up-to-
date minstrel STOW. Every act was
gem and was received with hearty APP
plause by the audience. Besides the
excellent work of Mr.. George b.
Baker. the Interlocutor, the singers
and the comedians deserve special
mention. among them being George
Christopher, Governor Bowen, Fred
Russell. John Cartmell, James Il.
Purvis and Newton See. The voice
of Newton See is a sweet soprano,
equal to that of girl and his songs
were greeted with prolonged applause.
The opening scene, while not gor-
geous, with 1.-THE electric effects, pre-
sented a beautiful panorama. The
costumes and stage settingswere superb
and in harmony with the entertain
ment. Marseilles, the contortionist,
and the acrobatic Wolsey family, are
perhaps the best of their kind on the
stage. Taking the show all in all, it
was excellent, to say the least, and
Vogel's minstrels will be welcomed by
the theatre going public of Annapolis
if they come here again.

4 great many people are asking the
question Why is the bazar for the
Emergency Hospital called the State
Bazars'i' The question is answered
by the announcement that the bazar is
held BY the ladies who have high re-
gard for the State of Maryland. the
colors of which and the coat-of- arms
will be used in the decorations. The
Governor has been invited to open the
bazaar on the night of December 8, and
it is expected he will do so. 1t begins
to look as if the state is taking inter
est in the hospital hazar, as donations
are being received from all over the
state, especially Baltimore city, which
has contributed largely. Contribu-
tions of salads, candies. cakes, ETC..
are solicited at all the tables. The
committees are hard at work arrang-
ing for their booths and making ready
for the big bazaar. Miss Virginia
Mullan, who is to have the rattle
table, has hundreds of articles display
ed at her home for the bazaar.

PLEBES VS.. cAToNSvnLE.
Their Score The Same AS That OF
The Varsity Team Over
Virginia.

The plebe class of the Naval Acad-
envy defeated the Catonsyille Country
Club from near Baltimore Saturday by
the same score that the varsity de-
feated Virginia. The game was play
cd after the regular game and, owing
TO the lateness Of the hour, short
halves of Is minutes were played.
There was much discussion of the
validity of the Plebes' second touch
down. With the ball on Catonsville's
2 ward line and only few seconds TO
play in the last half. the Plebes rush.
ed Drentzer through tackle and push
ed him over Drentzer called down
loud enough so the referee and umpire
both heard him, and not a second
later the timekeeper called time.
Catonsviile claimed that the touch
down should not count, but the referee
decided in favor Of the Plebes In
the first half Gainesville kicked to
the Plebes, who rushed IL steadily
down the field TO Catonsville's lO-yard
line and lost il on downs. Gainesville
was soon. forced TO kick. and punted
to their own 40-yard line.
Berg on the next play, carried the
ball the required 40 yards on quarter
back run, but was called back for on
Sue anu AALOuSflAl6 0uo kAfCn
Yards. The Plebes were unable to
make up this handicap, andCatonsyille
secured the ball on downs. The Plebes
soon recovered the ball and rushed it
down the field to Catonsville's. 20yard
line, when the half ended. In the
second half the Plebes kicked of to
Catonvsille. The Plebes recovered
the ball on a tumble and rushed it
steadily down the field for a touch
down. Townsend carried the ball
over. Berg missed the goal. The
Plebes kicked off again, but soon re-
covered the ball on downs and went
down the field for their second touch
down just as time was called. brent
ger carried the ball over. Berg kicked
the goal. Lineup:
