WOMAN BROKE HER NECK
Fell Down Stairs at Her Home on
 French Street.

Mrs Cabot Zappone, woman about 60 years of age, was found dead at the foot of the stairway leading to her home, 55 French street, shortly after l o'clock this morning. The family live on the second floor of the build- ing and the stairway leading to the landing is very dangerous, so much so that it looks something like ladder standing close to the side of house. It is supposed that the woman was on the way to the toilet room when she missed her step on the headway of the steep stairway and was pre- cipitated to the bottom, striking on her head and breaking her neck. Her husband and the rest of the family Heard her fall and hurried out but when they found her she was dead. Medical Examiner Crane viewed the remains and gave permission for bur ial. The police were also notified and Detective Kennaugh visited the place early, this morning and made a thor ough inquiry into all the details.

After doing a little de tective work he learned that the ye- hicle was on the street mentioned above and when he found the condition it was in he was rather angry. He did not mind the wagon being taken but he thought it at least should be left uninjured.

The joint fleet of American and British war vessels is lying in An napolis Roads, forming by far the most brilliant naval spectacle ever seen in these waters.
 As the British vessels dropped an chor of Annapolis national salutes of twenty-o guns were first exchanged between the Drake and Maine, flag ships of Prince Louis and Admiral Evans respectively, and then admiral salutes of thirteen guns.
 Prince Louis landed at the boathouse wharf of the Naval academy. He was accompanied by Captain Ryon, naval attache of the British embassy at Washington; Lieutenant Gerald Solel- by, flag officer of the Drake, and Lieu tenant Walter R. Crossley. U. s. N., flag officer of the Maine Standing on the wharf to receive them were Ad- miral Sands and his aid, Lieutenant Commander Thomas P. Magruder, and immediately fronting the landing place was a company of marines, command ed by Captain Reisinger. These pre- and there was a flourish from the field music. After an exchange of formal salutes Admiral Sands and Prince Louis grasped each others hands warmly, and the prince was conducted to the carriage and was driven around the parade ground to Admiral Sands residence
 The visiting party stayed at the su- perintendent's residence for about quarter of an hour and then drove to the government house, where they were received by Governor Edwin War1eld
 The prince was met at the front door by the governor and given hearty re- ception. After the first official ex- changes the visit was comfortably in- formal The prince was exceedingly felicitous in the cordial. democratic manner in which he greeted the gov ernor and his stan, and when the gov ernor remarked be would be glad to present his little daughter Emma he was asked to bring her immediately. The prince chatted with little Emma warneld, who is only six years old.
 'T have a little boy just your age" said his highness.
 Whats his namsr the governors daughter asked
 The prince replied:
 He has nine names. one of which is Louis. but we call him Dick"
 The prinee's health was then drunk informally, and be returned to the Drake, where he received the return call of Admiral Evans.
