MARINES SUCCESSFUL DANCE.
Barracks Beautifully Decorated For
The Grand Occasion.

The handsome new Marine Barracks
at the Naval Academy was last night
beautifully decorated for the dance
given by the members of the command
now stationed at the local institution
The committee in charge had left no
stone unturned 10 make the dance a
beautiful and enjoyable one. The
dancing took place in the large mess
hall on the right of the main entrance.
The large room was profusely deco
rated with the Stars and Stripes, the
Union Jack and an abundance of sig
nal code flags and yards upon yards
of vari. colored bunting. The flags
decorated the walls and from a large
center ceiling piece long streamers of
red. white and blue bunting stretched
TO the four corners and around the
sides of the room.
The main hall was also decorated
in a similar style, and the long airy
collonades in front were transformed
into a veritable bower by the use of
bunting and japanese lanterns. Dur
ing the evening a delicious buffet sup
per was served by the stewards and in
the main hall way was a well and
constantly filled punch bowl. The
dance was opened by a grand march,
led by Lieutenant Kilgore, u. s. NJ.
O., and Miss Wilmington. The Off
GERS assigned to the station we're pres
ent with their wives and families dun
in the early part of the evening. The
members of the command also had as
their guests a number of the younger
Naval Academy society set, friends of
the young officers at the School of Ap-
plication. Captain Russell, Oomman-
dant of Marines; Reisinger and Dun
lap and their wives were among those
of the officers present.

Sherlock Holmes.

Referring to the great detective Sher-
lock Holmes in 1.-The Sign of the -Four"
that comes to the Colonial Theatre
October in dramatization of Sir
A. Conan Doyles novel of the same
name, we would ask: "What would
your feelings be were you ever placed
in position such as our celebrated
sleuth, when dealing with half dozen
thugs who sought to blow him up
with a keg of powder in the third
act 20 AS he sits bound hand and
foot he asks Jonathan Small, the one
legged villain. who is the head Of the
mysterious -Four" for the privilege
of smoking his last cigar. Jonathan
consents very graciously and even
lights it for him. The same match
serves to ignite the fuse. Jonathan
then kindly retires to his boathouse,
while Holmes burns his thongs away
with the cigar Small returns to find
himself gazing into the muzzle of
Holmes revolver. 1.-THE Sign of the
Four" has the popular appeal to an
unmistakable degree. The story is one
of vital interest.

Horse In Hook.

Last night two members of the po-
lice force noticed a country looking
team standing on Church Circle, Just
at the head of Main street, apparently
without an owner. The old grey
horse and his delapidated runabout
with seats for two) remained stand
ing hitched to tree from 2 O'Clock
until way after midnight. The cops
then took the team and drove to the
Independent Fire Engine house on
Gloucester street, where the tired
animal was stabbed, to be redeemed
by his owners. About 80 O'Clock
the owners showed up and without
giving their names or addresses, paid
the empounding fee and were given
their team after they had been made
to identify it. Although the runabout
was a single one, there were two la
dies and two gentlemen in the party
which claimed it, 1t is thought that
the owners were from the country
and after seeing the show at the Co.
louial, went off for an after theatre

The Colonel Surprised.

a very jolly party of friends gave
Colonel McLane Tilton, U. S. NJ. q.
retired, happy surprise on Tuesday
night at his attractive colonial resi-
dence on Maryland avenue. The oo-
casion was the Oolonel's birthday, ana
he was quietly celebrating it by him.
slf. Colonel Tilton is one of the most
popular military men in Annapolis
He has ceased to have birthdays some
years ago, so far as giving birthday
parties is concerned and grows
younger every year. His friends de-
termined to take note of the occasion
and TO make merry for his especial
benefit. They therefore stormed the
fortress and the Colonel was
completely surprised in his tent resting
ON his arms aud no ammunition in
sight or at hand.
The C0Iouel house is one of the most
hospitabIe in town and spread was
soon provided for the entertainment
of the party, some of whom were
Misses Buchanan and their nieces,
Misses Ellen Metre and Miss Nan
Owen, Miss Fannie Greaner, Miss
Achsah Robb, Mrs. T. ID. Pusey.
Mrs. Minnie Dutton, Miss Boiling.
Miss Bantigan and Mr.. Dickinson. OF
New York. Congratulations were
heaped upon the Colonel by the score,
and a toast was given that he might
continue TO be younger every year,
that he might live as live as long al
he likes and have what he likes as
long as he lives.

enthusiastic gatherings held IN that
city for years.
The platform adopted practically

understood, but DR. Wells said that
he was either right or he was wrong
in his stand regarding the primaries,
and would be received and bis deloga-

would not be received at all. This

Future Of "Old Ironsides. y

Secretary Bonaparte, of the Navy,
has replied to parties in Brooklyn, ~.
Y. who have communicated with him
in reference to the sale of the Consti-
tuition that, while it probably lay in
his power to dispose of the Constitu-
tion through condemnation proceeds
ings under the statutes, he did not
feel that, in view of the historic asso-
Citations of the Constitution, he ought
to decide as to her disposition, bpU
that the matter was rather one for the
decision Of Congress. He therefore
advised the parties that he would not
take the matter up, at least before
Congress was In session.

A PLAY WITHIN A PLAY.
"NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS" A
SUCCESS.
Pleased The Audience At The Co
lonial Last Night-Clever
Work of The Cast.

A melodrama by Frederick Schwartz.
ESQ, entitled mot Like Other
Girls, T" was presented at the Colonial
Theatre last night The audience was
of the usual size, and the average au-
dience that attends anything here ex-
cept a musical comedy or the min.
strels
The play is three-act drama of the
rural variety, although the program
had il down for four or five acts, it
was hard to tell which, but then the
program spelled honor homer and
there is always excuse for the printer.
Tne play was exceptionally good for
one of its kind and was in the class
where they kill their man in the first
act, and the dropped handkerchief
gives the clue TO the wrongly accu sed
and supposed murderer. Many of the
cast in last nights play did very good
work, notably Mr.. Jack Marshal as
"Peter Pimple" and later as the HUI
morist Mimic. Ms. Marshall is more
or less of genius. His make up is
excellent and his limitations were un-
usually good, especially the one of the
base viol and violin in Alice, Where
Art Thou Z"
Miss Matte Perry is altogether a
clever actress and might easily be cast
as the leading woman. She works
hard and never forgets TO act. In the
charity performance at the Lewisburg
Opera House she does some very effec-
tive work in the one-act playlet I" A
Matter of Honor. - She works her
climax up in good shape and con
vinces her audience that she has talent
and ability. Miss Lura Buckley, cast
in the title role, is clever actress.
She has been seen here before with
Robert Downing. Miss Buckly's char
acter gives the title to the play. for
she is not like other girls inasmuch as
she is possessed of q wonderful power
of telepathy and has the ability to
read the minds of others. She uses
this power in the playlet and especial
ly in the last act she compels the muir
derer to confess his crime and thereby
acquits the innocent man, who, by the
way, is the stars sweetheart in the
play MIR. Eugene Robinson in this
character is good, and as the william
Mr.. Charles Routon does clever work.
Although too young for the part,
Miss Pearl Adams, cast as marie
Richards, +" crazy TO go on the stage,
is very good actress and she met
with popular favor. Altogether the
play, which was really play within
play, was very good and the au-
dience was we'll pleased.

St. Michael And All Angels

Tomorrow will be celebrated in the
ritualistic churches as the feast of St.
Michael's and All Angels. 1t is the
only day in the church calendar set
apart in commemoration of the angels.
The theme offers great scope TO the
imagination of poetic preacher mas
much as Scripture is all but silent re-
specting the hierarchy Of heaven. St
Dionysius, Milton, Fletcher and many
other writer's have desrcihed the differ
ent order and the MSS Of ther Mid :
die Ages will supply every variety Of
sketches and finished drawings, some of
which might pass for actual portraits
