Schooner Captain.

Captain William Ford, of the suhoon-

tim last week Of a clever thief aud
his acoomplices, who praoticed the art
of legerdermain upon the uususpecting
captain. Captain Fords schooner
was anchored Off Greenberry Point
on Thursday buying oysters from small
boats. A colored man engaged the
captain in conversation and attracted
his attention to one of the small boats
which had hauled alongside the vos-

While the captains attention was

money containing $50, in one-dollar

Captain Ford did not discover the loss
until after the departure of the three
colored men in batteau. The sleiRht

NEXT YEARS BALL GAME.
PLACE SELECTED WILL NOT BE
PRINCETON.
West Point Wants New York And
Philadelphia. And Washing
ton Are Suggested
By Others.

Wherever the football game between
the Army and Navy is to be PLAYED
next year. there is one sure thing
about it. the place will not be Prince
ten. AS to whether New York, PhiIa-
delphia or Washington win be the
place for future contests the officers
of the Naval Academy have not made
up their minds, and will-Bet until all
the circumstances are put before them.
Commander t. B. Howard. u S.

mittee of the Navy Athletic Associa-
tion, stated that the question of the
place of next years Army Navy game
had not been seriously thought about
as vet. 1T is better, lie said. "to

game has somewhat died out before

game The subject will be discussed
and probably settled at the next meet
ing of the Navy Athletic Association,
which viii take place in January
Lieutenant Colonel Robert L. Howe,
eommandant of cadets at West Point,
announced that West Point is in favor
of taking the game TO New York.
Colonel Howe said that a resolution
had been passed by the Army Ath-
letic Association to use every means
possible to secure the transfer of the
game between West Point and the
Naval Academy to New York, to be
played annually either at the Polo
Grounds or American League Park.
The views here on this subject are
not definitely known TO the Army
authorities. It is known, however.
that they are opposed to either Prince
ton or a return to Franklin Field Ii
is presumed that the Navy will favor
New York and that therefore the
game will be played there.
Both sides were dissatisfied with
Princeton. The arrangements there
were entirely satisfactory as far as the
university itself vas concerned, but
objection was raised because of the
railroad facilities. These were so
bad that any further question of
Princeton could not be considered.
Annapolis was opposed to Frank in
Field because when by act of Congress
the registration of students at the
navy institution was doubled the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania refused to Re-
cede to the demand for four tickets
apiece to the extra students thus in
creased in number.
Both institutions believe it impos-
sible to reconcile the positions of
three parties in order to play again on
Franklin Field. The railroad and
hotel facilities in New York are salts
factory and the place is equally con-
venient to both institutions. 1t is
possible to entertain friends and re-
main in New York over night, thus
fostering the real purpose of the game
ITO bring the students of the two
branches of the service together and
enable them to fraternize, and to ap-
pear before the public in the best pos
sible light in an enjoyable athletic
event.

STATE MILITIA COMPLIMENTEO.
The Maryland Troops Are Salts
factoriIy INSPECTED.

Major General Fred O. Aiusworth,
military secretary of the Army, has
made a special report on the organized
militia of the United States. in which
he says that the latest inspections
and returns from the States and Terri.
tories show the militia of the United
States to have au aggregate strength
of 121, 90S officers aud enlisted men.
cit is estimated that about 70 per
cent. of the organized militia would
respond to n call for troops to repel
INVASION or suppress insurrection
against the authority of the United
States, +" General Ainsworth says. He
reports that there has been no occa-
sion for calling any bodies of militia
into the service of the Federal Gov
ernment during the past year, but in
a number of cases the States made use
of their troops to subdue uprisings or
to protect life ard property.
The increase of interest on tho part
Of the younger men in the militia has
been marked, General Ainswortth
says, and the morale of the organiza
tions has been appreciably advanced.
The States are disposed to bring TIA cir
militia to a state of discipline and
efficiency to conform as nearly as pos.
sible to that of the regular army. The
organized militia of all the States and
Territories, excepting New Hampshire.
has Ebsen equipped, under the pro.
visions Of the Federal Militia act Of
1903, with United States magazine
rife, model Of 1898, and its equip
ments.
All the militia organizations, Cen
eral Ainsworth reports, were inspected
by officers of the rpQular army durinp
the year, 1902 army officers being de-
tailed for that purpose. rhe iDspec-
tion report of the militia Of the State
of Maryland gives all of the militia
organizations Of that State a clean
bill of health. Every company is re-
ported as properly armed, uniformed
and equipped. and there are no ad-
verse comments made by the inspector
in this connection. Mention is made
of the annual encampment of the or
ganized militia Of Maryland, which
was held near Belair. Md, August 2

A NEW BASKET BALL LEAGUE.
Effort To Introduce The Sport
Here This Winter.

A moveuent has already tel en- some
shape towards the introduction of
the fine game of basket bali here this
winter. a. regular league with a
schedule of about two games a week
is suggested and the movement will
almost certainly come to something if
suitable places for practice and match
games can be found
1t is thought that a team each from
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion, Companies @ and NJ, of the
First Regiment. NJ. N. g., and the
Independent Fire Company would
form a nice organization and two
games week during the winter could
readily be arranged. This would ac-
complish two good objects-the giving
Of healthful exercise and employment
to number of the young men and
the atfording of pleasure to the An
napolis public. 1t would also tend to
create more spirit in the organizations
comprising the league Members of
all the organizations mentioned are
interested in the matter and there
will probably be a-conference in few
days.
While the game is not well known
in Annapolis it is an exceedingly good
game from the standpoints of both the
players and public. While affording
the most active kind of exercise, il
cansbe kept entirely free from undue
roughness by competent officials. 1t
is also much more open than football
and spectators can more readily under
stand it. Mr. j. e. Belt, the genera
secretary of the Y. NJ. O. A, is a
thorough player, having been mem
Der of the team of Dickinson College.
He is interested in the proposal to
introduce the sport here.
1t is believed that the only thing that
makes the introduction of the sport
on the proposed basis in the least
doubtful is the possibility that a suit
able place for the contests cannot be
found. The Assembly Rooms would
do nicely if permission is granted BY
the city authorities. There is moth
ing in the game that would iRjure the
property in any way as the players
wear rubber soled shoes and the win
dow could be protected by screens. 1t
is thought that the use of these ICONS
under proper conditions may be ASKED
of the City Council in the near fu-
ture.

edge vet of the situation as the papers
in the case had not reached him from

Either New York or Washington,

1t was stated by a prominent naval
oitice who has much to do with ath-
letics at the Naval Academy, that
either New York or Washington are
most likely to be selected as the place
for the Army Navy football games.
New York is entirely too far from
Annapolis, he said, and the long trip
would be unfair TO the Navy team.
He further stated that Washington
would be Objectionable, no doubt,
to the Army people for the same rea-
son. He voiced the general sentiment
of the Navy people in saying Phila
delphia was the natural and most suit
able place for holding the games
Under the circumstances, however the
Navy authorities are backward in TAX
ing the initiative in regard to return
ing the game to Franklin Field. but
there is little doubt that they wish
1t there.

napolis. His funeral will take place
tomorrow Tuesday, morning.
Father Mccarthy was born in Ire
land, but came to this country at an
early age. He pursued his studies for
the priesthood in Baltimore and New
York and finished his course in phi
losophy and theology at Leicester, How
ard county, Nd, in 1877. The same
year he was ordained priest and al
most Immediately was sent to Quebec,

an early stage of his illness and he has
little direct communication with any
one here He has only one relative in
this country SO far as is known, a
sister who lives in New York CITY.
