Suffering In County

The prolonged severe winter with q
continued freeze mp for weeks. has
caused considerable suffering and des-
titution in the county. The small
country stores have almost completely
run out of supplies and the country
people in many instances have been
without certain articles of food for
weeks. Several of the stores in An
napolis, notably r. r. Magruder q
Co., have q number of orders for
sugar, hominy, ETC., for the small
country stores along the river land
ings, but are unable to fill these orders
because the steamboat is not running
and the provisions cannot be conveyed
to them. The little country stores
cannot afford to keep large supplies
on hand, and consequently the stock
has gotten low during the freeze.
Many families have been drinking
tea and coffee without sugar this win
ter that had no such privaton before.
Among the colored country folk there
is much destitution.

The Oyster Famine Still Continues
In This Port With No

taken advantage of almost nightly by
boats outward bound which do not

The tug Neptune, ocean going and

Baltimore yesterday morning Mt o

until O'Clock last evening to reach

difhcuity IN forcing passage. This
morning she again left for the mouth
OF the bay TO see what she might pick

CONFESSED THE CRIME
INITIAL CAUSES TROUBLE
Burial of Colored Man at The
National Cemetery Being
Investigated.

Efforts are being made by Mr.. John
b. Russell, superintendent of the Ma
tional Cemetery, to establish the iden-
tity of James II. Ashby,a colored man
who died here July % last
As the man was possessed of pension
papers which seemed to establish the
fact that he was an old soldier, he was
granted burial in the cemetery. Mr..
Russell sent to Washington a report
of the interment and has since been
in communication with the authori
ties there. The government officers
claim that they have no record of
such person as the initial "H'' is
not found in any record of q pensioner
named James Ashby.
Mr.. Russell will have to reconcile
the seeming discrepancy in some man
ner in order to make his records com.

THE ANNAPOLIS ATHLETIC
ASSOCIATION ACTS.
Appoints Committee to Meet With
Other Organization Looking
to Establishment of
Quarters.

An enthusiastic meeting of the An
napolis Athletic Association was held
last evening at which the principal
business was the discussion of the prop
osition of the Royal Arcanum to have
the association join with the ROYAL
Arcanum in erecting aud equipping n
building which could be used Jointly
by the two organizations for meetings
and gymnastic purposes.
The idea was received with great
favor by those who were present and
it was decided that something should
be done by the association winch
would assure it of q permanent home
A proposition was also presented look
ing TO the consolidation with the
Young Mems Christian Association
for the gymnastic features. The Ath.
letic Association is practically without
home ut present and desires to move
rapidly in the matter of securing suit
able quarters.
The association has q large member
ship of representative young men of
the city and il was becoming we'll
known for the interest being taken in
athletic matters when the legal entan-
clements arose which necessitated the
association seeking other quarters Ii
was decided last night to appoint a
committee of seven to confer with
committee from the Royal Arcanum
TO see what the order would offer in
the way of accommodations or an op-
portunity to share in the erection of
the building. The same committee
was also to have power TO see what
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion would otter.
The committee to represent the as
sociation is composed of Messrs.
George +. Quaid, Morgan o. Parlett,
Samuel Goodman, George w. Nun
ford, Edwin Hebline, Louis b. Henkel
and Leo Hantski. 1t is expected that
the two committees will have an op-
portunity of meeting this week and
will talk over the subject. So en-
thusiastic are the members of the
Royal Arcanum over the project that
a large number of small subscriptions
have already been given voluntarily.
One member subscribed for 500 worth
of stock at the very outset and others
have taken small amounts which foot
up to q good sum. If the plans of the
Royal Arcanum do not miscarry it
will not be long before building
operations are underway, even though
the order does not receive corporation

A SUCCESSFUL SUPPER
Presbyterians Close Their An
nual Bazaar With Good
Receipts.

The second night of the Presbyterian
church supper was as successful as the
first. Crowds patronized the ladies
and their efforts have been crowned
with success. The Assembly Rooms,
where the supper was held, were. filed
all evening and there was great de.
mand for seats at the supper table,
people waiting their turn
The supper table did good business
and everybody was pleased with the
service. The confectionery department
sold out and the fancy booth, candy
booth and fruit booth found ready
sales for their supplies. The Mother
Goose drill by young people of the
church was even more Of q success
than the previous night. The song
of Mr.. John Wells. impersonating Old
King Cole, was great hit. Mr.. Wells
sang the melody PUSSY Cat, Pussy
Cat, Where Have You Been. to q
little kitten he held in a bowl, and
the feline behaved admirably.
The little old woman who lived in a
shoe, tiny Miss Marie Duffy, was an
attractive feature. The little girl was
seated in a huge shoe surrounded by
dolls, and the shoe was mounted on
bicycle wheels and drawn by six little
girls. The drill and melodies were
very pleasing and doubtless drew @
large crowd The first nights receipts
ere over 500, and q larger amount was
taken in last night. There are some
expenses and the net receipts are not
vet known, as all the bills are not in.
A good sum is expected to be realized,
however, and the ladies in charge
feel amply repaid for their labors.
The supper was in every way great
success.
