noon in which Cecil Goodwill, boy Ia
years of age, lost his life. Young Good

went to the toilet. Shortly afterward
they were missed, and upon search for
them they We're found in the toilet un'
conscious. The exhaust pipe running
from the engine goes through the toilet
room, and evidently small leak in the
pipe let out the gas, and the door being
closed the boys were soon overcome.
Everything possible was done for them
but the Goodwill boy never regained
consciousness. Metlin is not much the
worse this morning excepting slight

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.
Work On This New Structure Prac-
tically Completed,
MOVING INTO 1T WILL BE BEGUN II
A FEW MORE WEEKS.
New Quarters For The Officers Who
Administer The Affairs of The
Naval Academy.

The Administration Building at the
Naval Academy. which Will be used,
as the name indicates. for the officers
OF those connected with the admins
tration of the Academy, is practical
ly completed and the work of NOV
ing into il viii begin in a few weeks.
The Offices have been temporarily
located in the old seamanship build
ing, which will shortly be torn down.
The Administration of the Academy
has never before had a building which
was SCI apart for its particular. use.
While the old group of buildings
were in use, its quarters were in the
same building used as a library, the
building being the colonial residence
of the Governors of Maryland up to
Governor Eden. Since that has been
torn down the present temporary
quarters have been used, the same
building containing a variety of other
Offices.
The new building will contain a
suite of offices for the superintendent,
his aid and the clerical force, offices
for the superintendent of grounds and
buildings, a room for the meetings of
the Academic Board and special room
for courts martial, something which
has not existed at the Academy pre-
viously. The academy printing Office
will be in the basement. The build
ing is situated fronting on what has
been known as Blake Row, and is
near the new chapel. 1t is very con-
venient to the Main Gate, which opens
into Maryland avenue, this city.
The work which will be done dur
ing the winter will consist of the
tearing down of old and temporary
buildings and grading and paving to
adapt the grounds to the new groups
of buildings. This will be continued
whenever the weather permits and the
Academy is likely TO present very
different appearance with the opening
of Spring. The large frame building
which is almost directly in the center
of the Academy grounds, and which
has been used as midshipmen' quar-
ters and recitation hall, has now al
most been completely demolished. Its
removal will open up large section
of the Academy campus and greatly
improve the appearance of the grounds.
The exterior of the Chapel, the ar
chitectural crown of the whole group
of buildings, has been completed and
the scaffolding removed, but much
work remains to be done in the inter
ior. The whole interior of the chapel
is plastered with the imitation stone
known as caen-stone, and this formed
the largest contract for work of this
kind ever given out in this country.
The interior moulding and casting
are very elaborate, and, as all of
it is done by hand, much time is
necessary for its completion.
With the removal of the scaffold-
ing, the beauties of the Chapel can
be better appreciated, standing out
as it does as fitting landmark for
the whole group of splendid new
buildings. 1t is unique among the
other buildings from the fact that it is
completed with handsome domed top
of splendid magnitude, whereas all
the others have been rather low and
squatty, the fiat roofs particularly
contributing to this appearance.

PAUL JONES SWORD.
II Now Rests Ia The Library of The Navy
Department. Washington.

In practically the same condition as
when il was used by its distinguished
owner, the sword of John Paul Jones
now rests in the library of the Navy
Department, Washington, where il has
been placed by Commander Reginald
Nicholson. 1t is believed that the
weapon originally was given TO
Jones by the North Carolina family
of that name at the time he changed
his own name as a compliment To IL.
The sword was given by Jones TO
Theodosia Burr, daughter OF Aaron
Burr. Theodosia Burr, after marrying
Joseph Aston. a wealthy and talent
ed planter of South Carolina, who in
after years became Governor of the
State. presented the sword To Judge
Matthew Davis, of Charleston, who
gave il 10 Rev. nr. Ducachet, Of
Philadelphia. The latter gave il 10
Commodore Summerville Nicholson,
and the Commodore gave il to its
present owner, Commander Nicholson.
1t is thirty inches long, beautiful
in design, very strong, highly tenn
pered, and still very mild. The hilt
is of white brass, with the portion
technically known as the basket broll-
EN- away. The tang is wide and
strong, and the grip piece of the han
die is of wood. covered with twisted
copper W ire.

MERCHANTS NOT PLEASED.
The Present Holiday Trade Did Not Reach
That of Former Years.

The merchants in Annapolis as a
class are not altogether pleased with
the result of the holiday trade in
town. One prominent jeweler told a
Capital reporter that his business
went behind this Christmas from $500
to $500.
When asked how they stood as the
result of the holiday trade, Mr..
Grafton ID. Ridout, of the firm of
Ridout Bros, said he had been so
busy since Christmas with other busi-
ness matters he could not give a def
mite statement, but he felt sure the
holiday local trade this year was not
up to the standard. When asked to
Ridout said the town people largely
did their Christmas shopping in Bal
ii more and not at home.
\ Main street .jeweler told staff
representative of this paper that peo-
pie in town had the audacity to tell
him TO charge" purchases, as they
had spent $40 or $50 in Baltimore, and
had no money left. other firms are
complaining of having fallen behind
this year with the Christmas trade.
Several reasons are advanced. Some
say the tradesmen do not stand togeth-
er, others say they do not advertise
their wares, but certain it is that not
a merchant in town has cause today TO
go up on the State House Hill and
proclaim rejoicingly that he did a big
Christmas trade and is satisfied with
results.

THE LIVE STOCK LAW.

of Agriculture, yesterday transmitted
TO the Department of Justice nine adj
ditional cases of alleged violation of

MISS GRACE GEORGE
To Appear At Academy of Music, Baltimore,
During New Years Week.

The New Years week attraction at
the Academy of Music, Baltimore, will
be the brilliant satire by Avery Hop
wood and Charming Pollock, entitled
''Clothes, y with Miss Grace George as
the star, supported by a company of
unusual excellence. There will be
three matinees Tuesday, Wednesday
and Saturday.
This play, the great success of the
season in New York city, ran for
four months to crowded houses in the
Manhattan Theatre there, and at
tracted attention no less by its orig
inality and smartness than by its re-
markable cast, the superb manner in
which it was staged, and the amaz-
ing versatility displayed by Miss
George in the role of Olivia Sherwood,
young woman of the upper set,
whose life narrowly escapes ruin in
her blind devotion to the artificial
tenets of the circle in which she
moves. She meets a. young business
man, straightforward chap of the
self-made type, and falls in love with
him after a fashion. However, it is
mainly because he is rich that she de-
termines to marry him, without much
regard for the tepid admiration that
he has excited in her.
The play has satisfactory ending,
but before that is reached Miss
George is given opportunity for great
versatility and tact in her acting, and
her charm throughout is such that
she holds the sympathy and appreei-
alton of her audience as one person,
and greatly augments the favorable
impression heretofore created.

The little daughter of Chief of Police
George Hahn is born for luck, SO ap-
pearances would declare. AT the Elks
bazar few weeks ago she won
beautiful doll, and yesterday she
again won another doll. This time

Ridout Bros. store .during the holi-
days was entitled to guess the name
on two dolls. Doll No. / had been
named Emily and Doll No. Z
ELLEN. Both dolls were named by
a lady in Princess Anne. The only
guess of the name Emily" of No. /
doll was by Miss Marie Hahn, daugh-
ter of Chief Hahn and the little lady
has been presented the doll. No one
guessed the name ELLEN for Doll
No. ?. Several Ellens were guessed,
but the guessers did not specify TO
which doll their name applied, so the
judes ruled them out. The judges
were Messrs. John g. Rodgers, Er-
nest Clayton and Clarence White.
