THE Holiday GlIETES ENDED
Rain And Sleet Interfere With
Hop At The Naval
ACADEMY.

The holiday gaities at the Naval
Academy closed on Saturday night
with the officers hop, which was
held in the new armory. Though an
exceedingly large hop, it did not equal
in size and brilliancy the New Years S
Ball, and the pleasure of the evening
was somewhat marred by the fall of
the temperature during the course Of
the dance, which made many of those
present resort to wraps.
Mrs. Phelps, wife of Lieutenant w.
W. Phelps, United States Navy, re-
ceived with Lieutenant Commander
w. +. Fullam. The strong wind and
sleet that set in Immediately after the
dance made it very difficult for the
horses to draw the carriages, and
those who braved the wintry winds
reached home only after a great deal
of trouble. Among those present were
Superintendent and Mrs. Brownson,

mander and Mrs. Barnette, Lieuten-

water, the next high tide, it is be-
lieved, will place the Mocasin out far
enough to be taken in tow for Nor

the wind blew fifty miles an hour and

CITY N GRIP OF COLD WAVE
Mercury Drops to Five Degrees
-Harbor And Severn
Frozen Over.

Annapolis had its first real touch
of hard winter in the presence of the
cold wave which has hovered over
this city for the past two days. A
variety of snow and hail, informing
led now and then with a large proper
ton of rain and sleet, preceded the cold
wave.
This formed one solid mass and froze
to the pavements and pedestrians had
slippery time getting about town
on Sunday. The greater portion OF
the city's population remained in
doors during the day and consequently
the church congregations were very
slim. The thermometer, according
to official figures, registered seven de-
grees early Sunday morning and the
maximum reached during the day was
eleven degrees. This was the lowest
it had been so far this season, but
Sunday night the mercury dropped
to five degrees
The cold spell has made large
number of persons retract from any
thing pleasant they had said regarding
the ideal like weather which marked
the birth of 1904. Notwithstanding
the bitter cold, the smaller ones will
nave OlclI 4uuIuSS lOA tAAO hCAO AON
DAYS. The snow has made sleighing
excellent and quite a few enjoyed
coatsing on State House Circle during
Saturday and Sunday. A large crowd
of the smaller ones also engaged in
the sport today. Skating about the
city was also much in evidence yes
terday, and crowds of boys INDUCED
in this.
Both Spa and College creeks are
frozen good and solid, but the ice
is not so smooth as a result of the
hard rain and snow. The harbor was
frozen over this morning as far out as
could be seen, and Serven river was
covered with ice from shore to shore
for the first time during the winter.
Though several residences are re-
ported as being without water as re-
suit of the freeze, the damage in this
particular is not las great as it was
thought. The buildings of the gram
mar and high school department of the
city public school were so cold this
morningth at some of the children were
sent home and no session was held
today in some grades.

ACTOR GREETS OLD FRIENDS
Clarence Bennett Returns After
Twelve Years - Gives
"A Royal Slave F"

After an absence of twelve years,
Mr.. Clarence Bennett returned t.
Annapolis on Saturday and gave two
performances of "A Royal Slave in
which Mr.. Bennett is cast as Gel
Aguila," I" (the eagle Mr.. Bennett is
we'll known TO the theatre going pub
lie of this city, and has played a
weeks engagement here successfully
on a number of occasions, half
score of years ago.
Time has been kind TO Mr.. Bennett
and although over sixty years old,
he acted well his part in Saturday S
performances. The plot, however, is
too villainous and reeks with crime
and criminals from start TO finish.
As the scheming mother. Miss Ber-
nice Belknap, who is cast as Countess
Inez de Orc, makes the most of a bad
character. Miss Belkknap is possessed
of fine stage presence, has a musical
voice and is easy and natural. Her
daughter, in the play, Miss Irene
Duckett, lacks animation, and is too
statuesque. Not once during the en-
tire performance was Miss Duckett
seen to smile or to change counte-
nence.
Mr.. Castleberry, as the ubiquitous
newspaper correspondent, was "a pleas
ing character and he and his wife,
miss Lulu Mcconnell. cast as
Annett, a maid, threw a ray of
sunshine and pleasing comedy into a
rather cheerless play. Mr.. Tremaine,
who was the deep dyed villain, the
mysterious Ell Captain. was well cast,
but is capable of better things in a
less villainous role. Mr.. Nixon, the
hero of the play, was not seen to ad-
vantage. He was suffering with a
cold and his enunciation was i'm
perfect. He has, however, fine stage
presence, and under other circum-
stances might do himself credit.
The stage settings were carefully
carried out in all details. The scenery
which was most elaborate, was painted
by Mr.. Bennett himself, who man.
ages his own company. Before the
last act Mr.. Bennett, in his Indian
costume, came before the curtain and
he said it gave him pleasure to return
to Annapolis after twelve years
absence and he should be pleased to
make this city his place of residence
when he took a permanent home. Mr..
Bennett stated he expected to return
next year with the grand production
1.-THE Holy City" Evidently he did
not know that this play opened the
new theatre, the Colonial, and die
not meet with popular favor. 1t il
hoped Mr.. Bennett will choose some
other vehicle for the display of his
company's merits rather than 1.-THE
Holy City,"
Before closing his speech the actor
complimented the management on the
beautiful new theatre and his words
of commendation aroused deserved ap.
plause.

A HUMAN |C|CLE IN TOWN.
Dredger Findley Walks Twenty
Miles And Is Cared
For Here.

Through the kindness and humanity
of Deputy Sheriff Nicholas w. Bryan.
Baltimore dredger was today sent
on his way rejoicing, after having been
clothed and fed and properly cared for.
On Saturday night Charles Findley,
of Baltimore, man about forty-fiye
years old, was found in a wretched
condition, shivering and freezing and
almost human icicle. Findley had
walked from Herring Bay, where he
had been put ashore by the captain
of dredge boat, and had slept in
the woods on Friday night. His hair
and whiskers were a mass of icicles
and his clothes were stiff with ice
and snow. The great wonder is that
he lived in such condition.
The freezing man told his story to
Deputy Sheriff Bryan, saying that he
was sick ON the dredge boat oval
lace" and that when he told this "a
the captain he said if Findley could
not work he might as well take to
the road, +" and the captain put him
ashore at Herring Bay. The man
slept in the woods Friday night and
walked from Herring Bay to Annapo-
lis, distance of twenty miles, on
Saturday He was given lodging at
the Jail and hot coffee, food and medi-
cine. He renamed at the Jail over
Sunday and today was given trans
portation to Baltimore.
Findley seemed very grateful for the
kind treatment and before leaving ex-
pressed his appreciation for what
had been done for him.

Places In Town Where Middies
Will Hereafter Be

Superintendent Brownson, of the
Naval Academy, has issued another
order forbidding the midshipmen to
visit certain places in town including
stores, restaurants and hotels. At the
beginning of the academic year a
similar order was issued but of late.it
has been suspected that the academic
regulations were being broken, and
as a precautionary measure against a
possible continuance of the breaches,
Saturdays addition to the blacklist
was made and closer surveillance on
public places inaugurated.
The order created sensation as it
forbids the midshipmen to visit a
well known store here, which for
several years past has been quite
popular with the midshipmen when
out in town. In addition to this they
have also been forbidden to visit q
certain Annapolis restaurant.

Present Move Foreshadowed'

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. l, 5:12 p. m.
important developments on the East
ern flank of the Manchurian army are
admitted by the War Office to be pro-
ceeding. The details, however, are
withheld for strategic reasons, the au-
thorities departing from silence only to
the extent of saying that the Russian
cavalry is executing important move
ments, leaving it to be surmised that
it is trying to cut the Japanese line
of communications and thus defeat the
flank advance.
Further reconnoissances continue and
indicate that the japanese forces are
still crossing the Taitse river at Ben
sihu, indicating that the center of
gravity remains east of the railroad.
The Japanese apparently have not yet
succeeded in drafting sufficient men
thither to drive home their thanking
operations.
No late news is obtainable of the
wide Japanese turning movement east,
which is regarded as the chief feature
of the japanese operations. Should
Oyama be compelled to abandon the
idea of an advance it is intimated in
Mukden dispatch that it is possible,
with fresh troops constantly arriving,
that General Kuropatkin may attempt
some offensive operations.
