Lew walInce'S Unwritten Novel.


General Lew Wallace had in mind an
American novel. He once said that 1t
was his intention to write this story
after he had completed his memoirs.
His theme was the striving of Ameri-
cans TO accomplish wonderful things in
an incredibly short time. His hero was
to be a restless American who lived for
a few years In Europe, then in Austria
liza, in Africa and in South America
and who finally, after years of wander
ing, returns TO his own country only to
start again upon his journey, never
satisfied, never happy, the spirit Of an
Indian within him and the childlike de
sire to see new scenes. In each Of
these countries his hero was to accom-
plish worthy deeds. and when he re-
turns to his own country it is with the
intention of leading the life of son Of
the soil, but his hero finds he cannot do
so. The story would have been sugges-
tive OF The Wandering Jew" with the
element of religious controversy ellmi-

TWO CHECKS FORGED.
Annapolis Merchants Victims of a
Clever Trick By Stranger.

While the Christmas shopping was
at its height, Mr.. Aaron l.. Goodman,
prominent merchant of Market
Space, cashed a check for $35, which
turns out to be a forgery. A man of
pleasing appearance and atfable man
neTs entered Mr.. Goodman store and
purchased $l5 worth of goods, present
ing in payment a check made in favor
of Harry e. Freeman and signed by J.
Philip H. Mccall. Mr.. Goodman was
a little suspicious and before giving
the $50 change and turning over the
goods to the man he left the store
aud went to the liquor store of Charles
Weiss near by, asking him if he knew
a man Mccall who gave the check.
The merchant had heard of farmer
in Anne Arundel of that name. Mr..
Goodman cashed the check and when
It was presented to the bank it was
found there is no account there in any
such name. The check is forgery.
The same man presented check at
the bar of the Chesapeake House for
So and had it cashed. This is also a
forgery. The man is described as
being about feet inches tall, with
light complexion and light hair and
mustache. He had on a dark over
coat and an Alpine hat. Mr.. Mccall,
an Anne Arundel farmer whose name
was signed to the check, says he never
made out a'check in favor of any such
person as Harry K. Freeman.
The matter has been reported TO the
police authorities, who are OH the
trail of the forger Other merchants
are warned lest they, too, be victim

STAR MIDSH|PAAN ACCUSED
Stephen Decatur To Be Tried For
Hazing.

A startling development in the haz.
ing case at the Naval Academy trans
pired last night when il was an
nounced that Midshipman Stephen
Decatur, Jr., a descendant of the gal
liant Commodore Decatur of historic
fame in the early days of the Ameri.
can Navy, was implicated in the haz.
ing trouble, and is to be tried by
court martial which convened today.
Young Decatur is member of the
class to be graduated on February ,.
He is star member, standing No. 6
in his class, which has membership
of I24. He is a native of Portsmouth,
n. H., aud entered the Academy No
yember "a, 1902 This is the first case
of hazing established against any mid
shipmau by the investigating board
that has been officially announced,
but il is the general belief that
number of other cases will be found
and presented for trial before the pres
ent court-martial 1t is stated by au-
thority that Decatur will be charged
with the hazing Of three or four under
class men.
The fact that Decatur is to be placed
on trial before the board had com.
pleted its sessions indicates the deter
mination of Admiral Sands in the
crusade which he has started against
the practice TO mete out punishment
to the offenders if found guilty by the
court as an example for the midship-
men who may desire TO persist in the
pranks.
It is particularly surprising that
Decatur, being a first class man,
should have indulged in hazing, when
it is not only the duty of an upper
4
but it is also in his line of duty to
report any offenses by the midshipmen
of the lower classes
1t is said that at least 20 0members of
the first class are implicated in the
hazing
