HE CAME HERE TO SEE JONES.
Newport News Man Makes Trip
In Small Batteau.

Lying off the docks in the harbor is
small batteau, rigged with n single
sail and fitted up forward with a.small
cabin, which is the first of the ships
to gather here for the ceremonies at
tendant upon the reception of the re-
mains of John Paul Jones
The boat is owned and captai ned by
an aged fisherman of Newport News,
Va, who, while an evident admirer
of the famous admiral and father of
the American navy. is also an eccen-
trio. The old gentleman is so deaf
that it is impossible for him to hear
a sound and 8s he declines to accept
written communications, no one in
Annapolis has yet had anything to
"say" to him.
On the other hand he does a plenty
of talking and the whole burden of his
conversation since his arrival has
been Paul Jones, whose body he is de-
t9rmined to see finally re-interred in
dts proper resting place. The strange
visitor, in addition to being as deaf
as the proverbial post. has also lost
one arm, and his trip up the bay alone
in the small boat, considering his
double affiiction, has created some
comment among local watermen and
others who have seen him. He has
announced that he will remain here
until after the Jones ceremonies are
concluded.

Y. M. C. A. BEST TYPE OF WORK.
An Extract From An Article BY
Theodore Roosevelt.

Undoubtedly the best type of phil
anthropic work is that which helps
men and women who are willing and
able to help themselves. The
Young Mems Christian Associations,
which have now spread over all the
country, are invaluable because they
can reach every one. In part they de-
velop the good qualities of those who
Join them; in part they do what is
even more valuable, that is, simply
give opportunity for the men TO de-
velop the qualities themselves. In
most cases they. provideSreading rooms
and gymnasiums and therefore fur
nish a means for "A man to pass his
leisure hours in profit or amusement
as seems best. The average individual
will not spend the hours in which he is
now working in doing something that
is unpleasant, and absolutely the only
way permanently to draw average men
from occupations and amusements that
are unhealthy for soul or body is TO
furnish an alternative which they will
accent. 70 forbid all amusement, or
to treat innocent and vicious amuse-
ments as on the same plane, simply in
sures recruits for the vicious amuse
ments. The Young Mems Christian
Associations would have demonstrated
their value hundred fold over if they
had done nothing more than furnish
reading rooms. gymnasiums and
places where, especially after nightfall,
those without homes, or without at
tractive homes. could go without re-
ceiVing injury. They furnish meeting
grounds for many young men who
would otherwise be driven. perhaps,
to the saloon, or if not, then TO some
cigar store or other lounging place,
where at the best, the conversation
would not be elevating, and at the
worst. .companionship might be formed
which would lead to future disaster
In addition to this, the Associations
give every opportunity for self I'M
provement to those who care TO take
advantage of the opportunity, and an
astonishing number do take advantage
of it. -

Heavy Hailstorm.

Annapolis was treated to a cooling
process yesterday afternoon after a
sweltering day Late yesterday after
noon the residents of Annapolis and
the surrounding country. were given
surcease from the intolerable heat of
the past 4S hours in an oldtime
storm, which while cooling the air
and relieving the fearful heat, did
little damage to standing crop in the
county.
Seldom has so much water fallen in
this city in as short space of time,
and in addition to the severe light
ming, which was accompanied by but
Ii title thunder, there was heavy fall
of hail. The hail, however, was almost
entirely local, extending out over the
water of the bay. but only as far in
land as Camp Parole and West An
napolis. The fall, however. had the
effect Of cooling the atmosphere and
Annapolitans turned in early TO get
the full benefit of a good night s
sleep. which had been denied them
for a night or two past by the heat.

Officers After Boy Clad Only In
Birthday Clothes.

| a boy without a stitch of clothes
! on gave a lively chase TO officers of
| the b. & .. through the streets of
| Brooklyn. this county, on Tuesday af-
ternoon, and shocked the mOdesty OF
the natives who were out for au air
ing on their front door steps The
boy was seen BY Baltimore officers on
some b. & o. cars, and they attempt.
cd TO arrest him.
The chase began along the Baltimore
and Ohio tracks south of that city
when, shortly after noon. Special OFF
GERS Frick aud HuDley saw Wheeler on
some box cars and attempted TO arrest
him. The boy saw them coming aud
dashed down TO Spring Gardens
Jumping into q boat, he pulled of
from shore and rowed over to the Anne
Arundel county shore, where he
landed. The two officers then boarded
street car and proceeded across the
river after him. A the draw on Long
bridge they saw him walking toward
them. Wheeler saw them at the same
time, and, pulling off his clothes. he
stepped on the rail and dived over
board.
Then began an exciting chase in the
water The detectives secured a row
boat and started in pursuit of the
boy, who was fast swimming away.
When they overlook him, The lad dived
under the boat, and, coming to the
surface. swan to the piles supporting
the bridge and crawled on to the struc-
ture. Not waiting to don his clothes,
he made for Brooklyn, which was
about half a mile distant. After cir
cling through the streets of the town,
Wheeler entered the drug store of DR..
@. II. Brooks, on First street, and
told the Doctor that he had been in
swimming, and the police had taken
his clothes DR.. Brooks got him a
shirt and pair of trousers, and the
boy slipped out of the rear door just
as one of the detectives came in the
front A search was made of the
yard, but the boy could not be found,
and the detectives left.
DR.. Brooks and Officer Dawson, of
Brooklyn. made another search of the
premises, and found Wheeler locked in
an outhouse. They had to break in
the door to get him out, and then Ofii-
Ger Dawson locked him mp. but later
released him. When the detectives
found ont about his capture and sub
sequent release, they redoubled their
efforts to capture him. They located
him in Brooklyn, and after an eXcit-
ing chase through the streets, in which
they fired three shots after him, they
secured him and took him to the
Southern Police Station. Wheeler
admitted to Justice Cox that he was on
the cars to steal iron, and the justice
fined him So and costs, which lac did
not pay.

MAY NOT TAKE PLACE IN FALL
The Final Interment of Paul Jones
Remains May Be
Delayed.
CHAPEL NOT EXPECTED TO BE
COMPLETED.
The Fleet of Warships To Come
Here Direct From The
Capes.

It has been given out at the Navy
| Department, Washington. that it i.
| possible and highly probable that the
| final lnterment of the remains of Ad-
miral John Paul Jones will not take
| place this fall
It has been proposed 10 make the
final resting place of the body of the
| first admiral of the United States
navy the crypt of the new
chapel at the Naval Academy, and the
time set for the ceremonies attendant
upon the obsequies, is Peggy Stewart
| Day, October 10 AS the work on the
chapel will not be completed at that
time, t will be impossible to inter the
remains in the crypt this fall.
Upon inquiry at the Naval Academy
this morning. those in charge of the
work of the Noel Construction Com
| pany who are the contractors and
builders of the chapel, declare that
that structure will not be completed
inside of eight or nine months
There is much work to be done vet,
and it is the work of most particu
lar kind that cannot be hurried. 1t
is, therefore, very improbable that the
final obsequies will take place this
fall, and probably not before next
spring.
The Navy Department is anxiously
awaiting a wireless message from
Rear Admiral Sigsbee's squadron tell
ing its present positio at sea and the
exact time when il should arrive off
the Virginia Capes with the body of
John Paul Jones. But up to noon to-
day nothing had been received. The
department still hopes that Admiral
Sigsbee's squadron will enter Chesa-
peake bay either Saturday afternoon
or early Sunday morning. Rear d.
miral Robley ID. Evans, commanding
the North Atlantic Station, is ready
to start for the Capes with a division
of the battleships feet as soon as it is
definitely known when Admiral Sigs.
bee will arrive there.
At the Naval Academy the plans for
the official reception of the body are
practically held up until some word is
received from Admiral Sigsbee. so that
the date of his squadrOn's arrival
here NAV be settled. The printed pro-
gram for the ceremonies were practi-
cally ready several days ago, but these
have been changed several times and
minor alterations are being made al
most daily. The present plans are set
tied for the reception of the body at
an American shore The third divi-
sion of the North Atlantic fleet COM
manded by Admiral Sigsbee and bear
ing the remains of Paul Jones w i'll be
met at the Chesapeake Capes by the
first squadron of the same fleet COM
manded by Admiral Evans.
Following this reception, the first di-
vision of the fleet will go TO Newport
News. Va, while the second and
third divisions will proceed to this
port. Immediately following the con-
clusion of the ceremonies here the
whole fleet will weigh anchor and re-
turn to Hampton Roads. Va

A Fracas In Eastport.

Residents of Eastport are much in
terested in the outcome of a fTacas
which occurred on Tuesday afternoon
at that village, in which the two prin-
cipal parties were at first Mr.. William
Albright and Mr.. John Snyder. The
scrap which, it is understood, will re-
suit in the arrest of Mr.. Albright,
was the result of some words which
passed between the two on account OF
Snyder having pulled some grass for
his horse off lot belonging to Al
bright.
1t is said that following discussion
over the case the owner of the grass
followed Mr.. Snyder and threatened
to shoot him. In this affray those
acquainted with the case alleged that
Albright struck Mrs. Snyder several
times and severely bruised her arm.
Special Officer William Burgess is said
to have warrant for Albright S arrest
and If the accused be apprehended this
afternoon the hearing of the case will
nossibly take place before Justice John
n. Davis tonight or tomorrow.
