THE DEESTR|CT SKULE"

One of the most successful local en-
tertainments put on the boards for
years, was "The Deestrict Skule,"
given under the auspices of the ladies
of the Congregational church of this
city, on Friday evening.
w. A. Morse officiated as the POM
pous school master. He was supposed
to assume that if the Ruler of-the
Universe was to take vacation he
could run things while he was off
duty. He only had to act natural,
and he was bowling success.
Manager Watson of the Keller fac
tory, took the part of thick-headed
English boy-one of those fellows
that could only appreciate a joke if it
was fired into his head by gatling
gun. The part was easy for him.
Station agent, Parker, was supposed
to represent smart Aleck with a
mouth like the Amazon river (27 miles
wide.) He took the part to perfection,
and didn't have to exert himself in
the least.
Gene Richards played the part of a
boy meaner than poison ivy. All he
had to do was to be little better than
he usually is, and of course he made
hit.
Mrs. A. w. Austin took the part of
an irrepressible Irish maiden. If she
isn't Irish she ought to be for her
every movement made one think of
potatoes and shamrocks.
When DR.. McCracken came on the
stand with his wooden shoes he looked
so much like native born German
that most of the male portion of the
audience rushed out to purchase "swi
lager"
]. H. Haddock was supposed to be
four-year-old kid, long on weight
and short on judgment. He didn't
have to make up and he didn't have
to assume anything.
Mrs. John Whitson acted the part
of his solicitous sister, and the skill
and tact with which she enacted her
part convinced the audience that if
she had chosen the stage for her pro-
fession Sarah Bernhardt would look
like thirty cents.
The most sensible thing in the play
was when Mrs. Austin declared that
the editor of the Herald was the
wisest man in town. That was gem.
Everybody thought that Mrs.
Simonton's gray hair was a wig. and
that she was giddy girl of fifteen,
for she was sure the most giddy one
of the bunch.
Mrs. "Jim" stood up manfully, or
rather womanly, for the past mayor,
but her statements as to his good
qualities did not bring forth any ap-
plause from the audience. She still
insists, however, that he is the best
mayor she ever lived with.
Mr.. Ward, the telephone man, acted
foolish as natural as life. Mrs. Ward
says he didn't have to attend a single
rehearsal in order to do it. M

sight, and one unieeling wretch stated

Navy Department on the list Of names
of midshipmen whom the superinten-
dent of the Naval Academy recon-
mended to be dropped about two
weeks ago.
1t is perfectly well known here that
the delay is occasioned by the efforts
of Congressman and others to have
the recommendation of the Naval
Academy authorities disapproved in
certain cases. Thus the routine of
the Academy is being delayed. as il
has in many other instances, by the
efforts of politicians to secure partial
treatment in behalf of their particu-
lar proteges. 1t is stated on good au-
thority that the number of midship-
men who were deficient in one or
more branches at the late semi-annual
examinations was 226. little over
a quarter of the whole number of mid
shipmen.
OF these the majority of the def
ciencies were waived by the Academic
Board hut it is believed that there
was recommendation that about 60
midshipmen should either be
allowed to resign or placed in a lower
class 1t is this list of recommenda.

emy authorities. 1t is felt that this
action is of kind with the restoTa-
tion to the service of Chaffee, Lofland
and Little, who had been dismissed
for hazing.
After Congress had given the mid
shipmen the best possible reason for
believing that hazing was locked upon
as light offence, there was the bit
terest sort of condemnation of the
Academy when hazing began to at
tract public attention. Similarly, it
is not unlikely that if the work of the
Academy should be looked upon with
disfavor at any time the very politi-
clans who have attempted to interfere
with the efforts of the authorities to
maintain proper standards would be
the very ones 20 censure the iustitu-
tion the most severely. This is the

GRADUATE IN TWO SECTIONS.
Glass 1905 Ceremonies In Septem
ber AND February.

1t has been decided that the class OF
1907 of the Naval Academy will be
graduated in.two sections in Septem-
ber, 1906, and February, 1907, those
graduating at the earlier date being
the members of the class who have
obtained certain average in their
studies. The section graduating at
the earlier date will probably contain
about third of Hthe class. This ao.
tion has been taken on account OF
the urgent need of additional officers
by the Navy Department.
1t was stated at t1e office of the su-
perintendent this morning that there
had been no definite settlement as to
the conditions under which tho earlier
graduates should be selected, but that
they would probably be those who
obtained an average Of 70 per cent. or
over for the work OF the present term.
There are two hundred and sixty
members Of the class of 1907, and &c IL
thought that under this rule between
eighty and ninety would graduate
in September next and the remainder
in tie following February.

B. 90. COMMITTEE MEET.
American Audit Company Selected
To Examine B. & o. Books.

The Baltimore and Ohio investiga-
ting committee held long executive
session late yesterday afternoon, in
which the chairman and secretary
were empowered TO select an auditor,
the choice having narrowed down to
the Haskins and Sells Company and
The American Audit Company, both
of New York. Because of the for.
mer's known close connection with a
number of the largest railway oorpo-
rations in the country the practically
unanimous choice of the committee
was for the American Audit Com.
pany. which, il is understood, will be
employed Immediately.
Prior to the executive session the
question of calling General Bsughman
and Senator German, State directors
in the Baltimore and gOhio. for a con
ference, was informally discussed,
but because of the i'll health of both
gentlemen at the present time il was
finally decided best TO W rite each a
letter asking for suggestions as to the
course to be pursued, and questions
which the committee should ask. An
order TO this effect was adopted with
out dissenting vote.
It may be stated now, almost with
ject to the contrary, that the commit
tee will push to this investigation TO
the full extent of its ability. The
members are very Thoroughly in ear
nest, and are getting into business
shape with the greatest possible ra-
pidity. 1t will be thorough and in all
probability and entirely satisfactory
There is little likelihood that its work
will be half accomplished by March
10, but still less Likelihood that there
will be any material objection to its
continuing its work for as long a
time after. that date and into the next
two years as its members may suggest
the matter will either take that form
or, less probably, will be entrusted to
the lawyers for the same purpose.
AT Thursday nights session of the
Senate an order was introduced look.
ing to the immediate pressing of the
pending suit against the Baltimore
and Ohio corporation, so that the
fight as predicted some time ago is
along two lines. The suits are being
pressed as while the inquiry goes on.

1t is believed that the material for

that Annapolis is decidedly the most

Is also true that the showing made by
