ernAwpERRIEs AND ASPARAGUS.
There are two things at least which
should find a place on every farm-a
good large strawberry bed and an as

BORINGS COMPLETED.
The Test Wells at Fort Mad
ison Are Said TO Be
Satisfactory.

All of the test borings on the site of
the old Fort Madison have been COM
pleted. Samples of the material en-
countered and memorandum relating
to the condition of the ground have
been sent TO the Navy Department at
Washington.
The tests were made by the j. L..
Downing Eastern Well Company. of
Baltimore, of which Mr.. j. l.. Down
ing is head. The tests were made for
the purpose of ascertaining what man
ner of foundations will be necessary
for the experiment naval building,
which is intended TO construct at that
point.
Altogether sixty behring's were made
and resulted in the discovery that a
good base for foundations is available.
All of the behring's with the exception
of one have been closed up, but this
one will be retained. 1t developed a
splendid stream of cold and pure water
of large volume.
AS the stream shows no fuctuation
it will probably be of great value
when the experiment station is estab-
lished. A board of survey will prob
ably be appointed by the Navy Depart
ment, after which bids will be called
for the erection of the building.
Last week the house boat used by
the contractors was upset in the
storm, but no one was injured, it hap
pening that the men were ashore at
the time. Lit has been righted and
will be taken TO Cold Spring, up
the Severn. The other material used
by the we'll drilleTs Will be taken to
Baltimore.

not be defended. 1t is dishonest and
ia fragrant violation of the funda-
mental principle of our government,
that of equal rights TO all under the
laws, and special privileges TO none.
We taxpayers ask no special privileges.
We only ask justice and equality IN
der the laws of the land.
Roads and bridges will have to be
looked after. We cannot attach too
much importance TO the necessity of
good roads. III we would make our
lands attractive To those who are look !
ing for homes, we must make good
roads and keep them in good order.
Whether the present system of work
ing the roads is an effective and eco
noimcaI one is proper subject for us
to inquire into. If there is a system
that willsgive the county better re-
suits for the money expended than the
system we have, then we should
adopt it.
"Public officials are entitled 10 the
presumption that they perform their
duties properly, but as the taxpayers
directly or indirectly pay their sala-
ries, they have the right TO critielse
an official and hold him up TO public
censure who does not perform duties
for which he is paid. You gentlemen
of the Taxpaye rs Association. have a
right to object to the payment of sala-
ries TO public officials unless the sala-
ries are earned. You have a right TO
object to a man holding an office unless
he performs the duties of that office.
You have right to object to paying
for services not performed. The meas :
ure of compensation for services rem
dered by public official should be
no more than would be paid for SINH
lar services performed in ordinary
business employment. These are, in
my Judgment, sound propositions.
On motion the Presidents address
was adopted as the expression Of the
views held by the association.
Judge Benjamin Watkins adyocted
the forming of a branch association in
each election district TO cooperate
with the county organization. And on
motion of Captain William i. Leather
bury, the vice president from each dis
trict was requested Immediately TO
call meeting and organize the tax
payers into an association to be known
as the First District Taxpayers As
ISOLATION, or Second, or Third, or for
whatever district the association is
formed. Or. the vice presidents fail
ing to act, any three taxpayers to so
organize the local body. These dis
trict associations to proceed to enroll
among the membership of the associa-
tion all taxpayers who desire to join
the movement. On motion of Mr.. II.
l.. Shipley it was ordered that a copy
of the by laws and constitution, togeth-
er with the presidents address, be
sent to each of these local associations.
On motion it was ordered that the
county papers be requested to publish
the Presidents address.
The association adjourned to meet
on Wednesday, January 25. at |
O'Clock, by which date it is expected
that the district associations will be
formed and in full cooperate on with
the county organization.

ST. JOHNS ATHLETES MEET
A CALL is MADE FOR BASE
BALL CANDIDATES.
Every Indication Points to a Most
Successful Season For OCT
door Sports.

There was meeting of the candi-
dates for the baseball team of st
Johns College in Captain Jamison 5
room. Senior Hall last night A large
number of men turned out. nearly
forty candidates being present. This
is very encouraging.
The enthusiasm of the men was
worked up by speeches by the coaches
and captain. The coaches had new
idea, that of giving each man slip
to fill out, upon which he should put
how long he had played, where he
had played and what position he is
trying for. The result showed great
abundance of pitchers and catchers,
no less than nineteen of the candidates
signing for these two positions.
Regular practice will be started TO.
day. The squad will be divided into
two sections. each of which will be
under the direction of one of the last
year team, and the whole under the
supervision of Captain Jamison and
the coaches. The schedule for this
year is good one, about thirty games
having been listed by Manager Cham
bers. The work was all outlined by
the coaches and will be gone through
this year with regularity instead of
in the haphazard way heretofore rrac-
ticed. There are prospects for SPLEEN
did season, as both captain and coach
es are good men, and all are taking an
interest in the team.
On Tuesday Captain Gore issued a
call for candidates for the track team
and nearly twenty men responded
A training table has been started, and
the men are getting down to hard
work. The work in the last two days
consisted of starting the men 10 gain
quickness in getting off and afterwards
a qaurter mile jog. This work will
be increased day after day until the
men are in good condition. The first
of the trials, weather permitting,
will be held Saturday, January 81.
The first meet is in the Hopkins
cage in Baltimore on Fe ~uary IL.
Then on February % there is another
in Convention Hall, Washington,
given by Georgetown University.
The annual meet at Philadelphia, given
by the University of Pennsylvania,
comes this year on April 30 Glass
Day will probably be held shortly
after this, and will end the season.
There are prospects for a good team
in this branch of athletics, also. fol
there are two of last years relay team
left, besides three others who have
won monograms in this department
There is also good deal of new ma
terial, which may or may not show
up well, but prospects are very en-.
couraging, and it is hoped the team
may at last bring home the long GOV.

AFTER cASSINPS CUP.
Middies Want a Chance to
Prove Their Skill With
Foil And Sabre.

AT the regular weekly squad meet
ing yesterday for exhibition bout and
points and form contests between the
members of the Naval Academy fenc.
ing squad and the chief topic of CON
versation was upon 1.-THE possibility of
the MILDLY fencors being invited to
foil competitions at the Washington
Fencers' Club, in the national capital,
January 2S.
The navy squad, since the recent
Inauguration of the weekly squad
meetings, had developed some surpris-
ingly good material, and when it
was announced through the press that
Count Cassinni's Cup. recently offer
ed by the Russian Ambassador, would
be competed for at the meeting meu-
toned by a number of Eastern foil
teams, hopes that the midshipmen
might have the opportunity OF enter
ing were freely expressed.
The feature of yesterdays meeting
was the work of Midshipman Sharp,
the lefthand fencer of the third class.
He defeated the team captain, Mid
shipman Knox, in the foil contest, and
won the event from fifteen COMPETE
tors. Further than this, although he
had never handled a saber before. he
easily defeated Midshipman Sharp, of
the regular team, in dual bout. and
then won the dueling sword contest
over fifteen others. the final in this
being captured by him from Midship-
man Clark after three seconds by a
touch on the arm.

THE ROSE MAIDEN. "
A Musical Cantata Successfully
Rendered Last Night at
Mcdowell Hall

Rather a small, but very appre-
elatlve audience came last night at
Mcdowell Hall, St Johns College.
TO hear Frederic H. Governs beautiful
eantata The Rose Maiden, sung by
four soloists, and the choral of Annap-
oils. under the direction of MIR George
thompson Williams. organist and
choirmaster of ST. Anne's Church.
The dainty story of the Flower
Queen, who seeks the gift of love, as
enJoyed by man, was sweetly told in
tones rich and clear by Miss Grace
Miller, soprano; Mrs. Il. G. CAN'T,
contratlo; Mr.. A. Goodman Leach,
OF Baltimore, tenor, and Mr.. o. q.
Capmbell, baritone, supported by Mr..
Williams splendid choral OF Annapo-
lis. The accompanist, Mrs. w w.
Phelps, merited the ardent congratu-
lations she received, for the artistic
performance of her difficult part.
All the solists were eminently sue
cessful and were warmly applauded.
Miss Millor's voice was especially
fitted for the delicate sentiments she
had to express as Roseblossom, and
we'll reminded the audience of the ex-
quisite sweetness of summer roses.
The choral sang the several choruses
with ease and dignity, to say nothing
OF the care paid TO time and tone
All together the renditions of the can
tata was a perfect treat TO the music
lovers of Annapolis, who braved the
bad weather to hear it. Considerable
favor was given to proposal for its
repetition in the near future. The
proceeds will be devoted to the repair
ing of st. Anne's organ.
