An Elaborate Affair

The Estate Bazaar" for the benefit
of the Emergency Hospital, promises
to be the most elaborate affair of the
kind ever given in this city. Many
novel features will be introduced dur.
ing the three days of the bazar-De-
cember 6, 2 and 8. One afternoon will
be devoted to children with special
entertainment adapted to them. The
Peggy Stewart Tea Party Chapter.
d. A. r., will dispense afternoon tea
daily. The various booths will be
most attractive in design and decOra-
tion, and not the least of the charm
will be the antique gowns and pow
dered hair of the Colonial Danes
and maidens who preside at the booths.
Contributions of all kinds will be
gladly accepted by the committee and
itssis earnestly hoped that the public
will encourage the ladies by their as.
sistance and cooperation as well az
by their liberal patronage.

the collection of the models of the

the others being painted red, except

including the Virginia and West Vir-
ginia, which are black. Most Of the
models are at the worlds fair, and
when they are returned it will be a
perplexing question to dispose of all
of them in the corridors on the Navy
Department side of the building SO
that they will be easy of access to visi-
tors, owing to lack of room. The
model of the Connecticut, like all the
others, was made at the navy yard in
Washington.

A Republicans View

In an interview with ex-Mayor
Charles A. Dubois who spoke last
night at Republican political meet
ing at Benfield, this county, he said
this morning: Every good citizen
and every honest man will bow TO the
will of the majority, provided that the
election is fair. Trick ballots. or
any method of deceiving the voter, is
dangerous. Our safety depends upon
fair elections, and when we have these
then whatever the result may be all
men of good intentions and all loyal
people will have to be satisfied. |
have interviewed a number of men who
are Democrats, and have yet failed
to find one who has not said j do not
like this thing; / do not countenance
it, and because my party has resorted
to this unfair and dishonest and dan
gerous means to defeat Sydney f.
Mudd. hope he will be elected. +"

10 Have Fire Alarm system

A goodly share of the time of the
meeting of the Business Mems Asso-
citation last night was given up to a
discussion of the needs of the fire de-
partment. One of the principal ques-
tions was that of giving aid to the fire
department in securing complete fire
alarm system. 1t was strongly urged
that since Annapolis is now provided
with good fire department and
splendid apparatus fire alarm service
should be installed. 1t was decided
to aid in securing nine fire alarm
boxes for various points in the city
and a committee of two, composed of
Messrs. Harry L. Brewer and George
q. Barton was appointed to investigate
the matter. The same committee was
also instructed to see what could be
done in the matter of securing a gen
orator for Independent Hose Company.
This is for the purpose of keeping the
water in the engine constantly heated
and to carry small head Of steam.
BY this means it would be possible to
secure strong steam pressure by the
time the engine was at the scene Of a
fire

Entertained Brother BIZ

One of the most pleasant affairs in
its history was the social session last
night of the Annapolis Elks. The
affair was given in honor of Ensign
Owen Hill, who was recently promot-
ed from gunner and leaves in a few
days for far away port. The COM
mittee in charge of the affair had
spared no effort to make it a great snc-
cess. The guests were very numerous
and the house committee worked over
time to see that every one had an en-
joyable time. Speeches felicitating
Mr.. Hill on his promotion were made
by many of those present and he re-
sponded in very pleasing and happy
vein. The menu, which was Of the
best the market afforded, was headed
by two barrels of salt water oysters.
The chairman of the committee hav-
ing the affair in charge was headed by
DIR. Murphy.

THE SUCCLENT BIVAL VE.
A WONDERFUL ADVANCE
MENr THIS YEAR.
The Oyster Has Not Yet Reached
Its Foil Standard = What Mr..
Burtis Has To Say.

According TO the statement of men
who have made a study of the oyster
industry for years the present season
is the best in the history of the in
dustry for the past ten years. Among
those who have been identified with
oystering for many years is Mr.. Will
lam Fl. Burtis. He has long since
ceased active work as concerns the
oyster business, but still keeps in close
touch.
In conversation the other day he
said that the oyster this year was
never better, and that this is but the
forerunner of other seasons of big hauls
and succulent bivalves. Ten years
ego, he said, the industry was at its
best Big money was made by oyster.
men in those days and the hauls we've
exceedingly large. The largest amount
of money made by him in one day
oystering was $50 under exceptionally
good conditions Another day, with
two sloops, four men and four boys
his share of the profits was $57. 75.
Then the indiscriminate robbing OF
the beds without giving any atten-
tion to the size of the oysters depleted
them to such an extent that for years
the catch of oysters was very small.
Then the Gull law began TO be effec
tive. 1t has worked a wonderful
change in the condition of the beds
and the dangerRof the entire destruc-
tion of the beds is entirely obviated.
Mr.. Burtis stated that the beds and
bars of today contain millions OF Oys
ters from the size of a cent to that OF
fifty cents, which, without distur-
bance. will develop into more sizable
oysters than are being taken at the
present time Heretofore all the small
oysters taken from the bed which
were too small for consumption were
lost and given no chance to propagate
others. 1t is his impression that from
now on the numbers of oysters taken
will yearly increase to such an extent
tnat every three or four years the in
crease will be doubled. He is not in
favor of the Haman bill, claiming
that the lands which the bill proposed
to rent or lease at 50 per acre are
worth from $500 to 1000 at the
present time by reason of the Gull
law, which makes it impossible for a
bed TO ever become barren.
According to him Annapolis has not
reached its full standard as an oyster
packing center, and in the next few
years wonderful advances will be seen.

extreme caution TO avoid accidents.
The fogs. which occur frequently at
