Members of Highway Commission.

missiOners, provided by an act passed by

Tuesday at the senate chamber of the

ments of the commissioners.
Three delegates from every county as
ISOLATION organized, of which there are
thirteen, will attend the meeting, but

viding for state aid was drawn up

ais; vice president, Ole Peterson, New

is IT AN EPIDEMIC i?
Typhoid Fever Malady Being Dis
cussed By Physicians.

Although the five midshipmen of the
newly entered fourth class at the Ma
val Academy who have been taken
down with typhoid fever. are reported
as in an improved condition today,
some alarm is felt that the disease may
spread TO the height of an epidemic
One of the young men as previously
stated, is very i'll with the disease,
while the condition Of the other four
is not so bad.
There have been cases of typhoid az
the institution on previous occasions
but only at intermittent times. The
first case of the disease made its ap-
pearance several weeks ago and in spite
of the fact that every precaution was
and is now being taken by the officers
of the medical staff at the Academy,
the five midshipmen soon contracted
the malady and it is not at all unlike
ly but that others will be affected.
The surgeons at the institution
cannot attribute any direct cause for
the prevalence of the disease. but it
is said TO be due to the filth that has
constantly accumulated about Ban
croft Hall, the new quarters of the
midshipmen, where all of the fourth
classmen are now quartered. This
building is not yet complete and a
large force of workmen is still en-.
gagged in the work of its final stages Of
construction. 1t is also thought that
the boys may have been affectedsw
the typhoid germs through swimming
in the water of the river, which is
quite stagnant at times.
The disease is an entirely local one,
as DIR. William S. Welch, official
health officer of the city, states that
there is not now single case Of the
fever among the city's residents. That
the above causes have in all probabiI-
ity brought on the malady is shown
by the fact that all of the drinking
water furnished the Academy by the
city, and milk which often carry the
germs, has been subjected to an eXami-
nation and no impurities whatever
have been found.

Still Has Political Aspirations.

Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson,
formerly an officer in the United
States navy, still has political aspira-
tions. Captain Hobson is in Washing
ton, aud announced yesterday that he
will make the race for nomination for
Congress in 1906, in the Sixth Ala.
bama district. He said: Il shall
make the race on the issue of a great
navy that shall overthrow rhe navies OF
the world, to the end that wars will
cease. / have spoken in % states
since January and the people have
applauded my doctrine, besides voting
instructions to their senators and rep
resentatives to support this program.
A big navy means peace on earth and
commercial supremacy for the United
States. OF course, it would cost mil
lions of dollars, but would pay be-
cause of the saving Of human lives,
which is worth more than the world S
supply of money" CAPTAIN Hobson
is a graduate of the Naval Academy.

mirers of Miss Katie Y. Wilson and
Mr.. Thomas Evans Greene, says the
Washington Star, will be intereste ted to
hear of their marriage, which took
place last Saturday at Atlantic City,
where the former went last week.
The relatives OF the former here were
not treated TO the same surprise, how
ever, as others. since, while not being
aware of the day aud date, they were
pretty sure the event was likely soon
to occur. The bride went down 10
Atlantic City for a brief rest, and
Mr. Greene was not long following.
Mrs. Greene's relatives were at once
informed OF the ceremony, and, while
a longer honeymoon tour is IN pros
pect. the newly married couple have
been urgently invited to come back
here before starting, where round OF
congratulations await them from the
relatives and friends.
The groom is well known here,
where he resided some years ago. Mr..
Greene at that time was fine vocalist

several social entertainments in town
and at the college.

| FEW SUBMARINE STUNTS.
To Be Shown President By Licuts.
Nelson And ShaplcY.

Lieutenant Charles Nelson, in com
mand of the submarine boat Plunger.
has been orde red to Oyster Bay by
Secretary of the of the Navy, TO report
to the President.
The general impression is that Mr.
Roosevelt would like very much to
take a trip in q submarine, If he were
not president, and wants TO see any
way what this crack boat can do.
Three years ago he came to the Naval
Academy, fully expecting TO go down
in the submarine Holland, but was
persuaded not to do so by certain
members of the Cabinet, who had ac-
companied him. On this particular
occasion the President is reported &c
have turned Oh his heel rather sharply
and remarked that some day he would
have a chance. When the orders
came for the Plunger to hurry to Oys-
ter Bay, the boat was in drydock be-
ing overhauled. She was yanked out,
ad is now lying in the waterway that
runs through the center of the Brook
Iyn navy yard. A large force of ex-
pert engineers and mechanics are
working night and day getting the
little craft into tiptop shape. An entire
set of new and heavily insulated elec-
trio light wires are being put in her,
and the gasoline engine is undergoing
a complete revamping. Every bolt
and rivet is being subjected to a
thorough resoldering and the torpedo
tube gets testing often.
It will be five days before the Plum
ger will be in condition to make the
run to Oyster Bay. Lieutenant Mel
son, who commands her. is considered
one of the best experts in handling
submarines that the Navy Department
could select. He has a picked crew
of ten men from the various subma-
rines, and every man is being thor
oughly drilled at his particular post
The present plan is for Lieutenant
Shapley, of the Porpoise, to accom-
pany Nelson on the trip. He also has
quite reputation for handling subma-
rines.
Both Nelson and Shapley would be
glad if the President would make the
dive, but they fear that it is a case of
g no such luck. Anyhow, they hope
to show him a few stunts.

ing reached the statutory age for re-
tirement. Rear Admiral Charles Il.
Clark made an enviable record during
the Spanish war. His name and
that of the Oregon-"the bulldog of
the navy are linked together in a
story of daring achievement that will
live long in the annals of the navy.
Rear Admiral Clark was born in
Vermont August 10, 1S43. and has
served nearly forty five years on Uncle
Sans ships.
The voyage of the Oregon from the
Golden Gate to Cuban waters, was a
great naval achievement. Unescorted

America with her engines at full
speed all the way. In the Straits of
Magellan she encountered and wealth

of South America Captain CLARK, as
he was then, knew nothing of the
whereabouts of Admiral Cervera' S

action all the way. The Oregon was
the most conspicuous ship in the
battle of Santiago.
