sumptuous supper was partaken of by
those on board. Speed was not, how
ever, slackened, and the return trip
was made without a stop until the

pretense of permitting the ladies TO
catch rock" but the only fish landed
were a catfish by the Rev. J. p. Ms-
Comas and an eel by a. Randall. Then

Was He a Cadet?

Frederick Churchill, aged 33 years.
whose body was yesterday recovered
from the waters of the Mississippi,
where he and Miss Stella McMullen, q
waitress, were mysteriously drowned
on Thursday, was reported IN des-
patches to have been an ex-cadet at
the Naval Academy. This, however,
is evidently mistake, as there is no
record of such a cadet between the
years of 1888 and 1899 in the Academy
registers Had the drowned man been
a midshipman he would have likely
been at the Academy between these
years, as he was 80 years of age when
drowned Considerable mystery sur
rounds the drowning of Churchill and
the woman, who was with him, and a
party of friends.
