A NEW RECTOR COMES AT LAST
And The St. Margaret's Church
People See Snakes

For long time st. Maragret's par
ish in the Third district of Anne Arun-
del county has been without a rector.
On Sunday last, however, an appli-
cant for the position appeared. lie
measures five feet and is of musical
inclination.
The congregation Of st. Margaret S
had assem- bled for worship, and Mrs
Pettibone, who is the organist, had
seated herself at the instrument pre-
paratory to helping the service along
with a concordance of sweet sounds,
when 10, before raising the lid an un-
canny sound was heard therein. Mrs.
Pettibone remarked to Mr.. Theodore
Corner that from the rattling noise in
the organ she fancied a mouse lad
hidden there.
1t is q well known fact that women
are desperately afraid of mice and
Mr.. Corner offered to investigate. He
raised the lid of the organ when. to
his astonished gaze instead of monse
a black rattle snake five feet long
peered out at him. The reptile had
wound itself around the internal
mechanism of the organ and in some
unknown way had made the music box
it's place of habitation. The oongrega-
tion is accustomed TO being without a
rector, but not to seeing snakes, es-
pecially in the church. Sfhe Intruder
was soon dispatched to snake heaven
aud it is hoped his attendance at
church may save him from an inter-
mediate state OF purgatury.

they launched three torpedoes chained

jackson volunteered to swim towards
the torpedoes and unscrew the cap

They Are Now Bluejackets.

Hereafter sailors Eof the United
States Navy will be called "bluejack-
ets' and not tackles " The Navy
Department has made the request that
newspapers in mentioning the sailaIs
refer to them as bluejaokets" and
not as 'jackies. as is sometime the
custom. The objection TO the latter
name came from the sailors them
selves, and the complaints have come
to the Bureau of Navigation against
the term jackie being applied to
them. Instead of being an endearing
term, the bluejackets consider it an
offensive one, and claim that it makes
them appear more as monkeys than
sailors, and they want 10 be known
hereafter as "blueJackets. " So the
officers of the Navy Department are
making request of the newspapers
aud the correspondents to hereafter
speak of the bluejackets instead Of
