"reminiscences OF HAZING.
How Practice Was INDUCED In
Years Ago.

DR.. William II. Winslow, OF Boston,
who graduated from the Naval Acad-
envy in the class of 1858, and was hon
orably discharged from the Navy in
1865, after having served through the
Civil War, in which he rose to the
grade of acting master. which cor
responds to the present grade OF junior
lieutenant, is credited by the Boston
Herald with some "reminiscences OF
hazing as practioed at the Academy
waile he was a midshipmau there.
From the Herald report of the inter
view attributed to him we quote the
following:
lit was my pleasure to be mid
shipman at Annapolis in the SOS,
and the traditions of the Academy
showed q manly spirit in regard to
personal treatment of the lower by the
upper classmen, which NO person could
condemn who made allowance for the
exuberance of youth and the spirit Of
those corps, subject to naval discipline.
1t was true that when men of widely
different home training and violent
sectional prejudices met on the COM
mon plane OF equal honor and equal
social status, though differences were
manifested at first among new ap-
pointees, the strict discipline and
similar ambitions of the cadets soon
bsnished conceit and leyeled preten-
tions.
The haziBg INDUCED IN by the
young savages from northern hills
aud southern plantations had none of
| the elements of humiliation and bIu-
| tality characteristic of recent OCCUR
renees in tho Academy. 1t would not
have been endured by the classmate.
II such Rad been attempted blood
would have been shed by youths who
knew the use of firearms and whose
self-respect protected them from in
suit and abuse. A cadets honor was
his safeguard. and those who assailed
IL had TO suffer defeat and apologize.
Pulling, hauling and wrestling were
carried on on the green daily, without
temper or injury. Fist fights there
were, and sometimes bloody ones.

TO the story of the preservation OF tl,p

The festival opened with public SER
vices, at which the principal event
was the reading of the Book of Esther
from the parchment scroll called the
Magillah. = A peculiar feature in
connection with the reading of this
story is that of the attempt made by
the children of the congregation to
drown out the name of Haman every
time 1t is mentioned by the reader.
Ihey attempt to accomplish this by
the stamping OF feet, the shaking Of

change of gifts. These gifts usually
consist of sweetmeats and provisions.
but in many of the baskets sums of
money are hidden. Ia this way the

,,1rts about them with great rapidity
5Iince Monday night. Very few Of
tjc measures disposed of were of much
interest except the bill to repeal the
indges pension law which was killed
IN fbo Senate on Tuesday, and the
Clagott tobacco inspection measure
rbicb suffered a similar fate in the
House the same day.
Tine Baltimore aud Ohio inyestiga-
fiop Is going on from day to day, and
already enough evidence has been
Htsrllv dragged from the officials of
Inc company to indicate clearly that
all the suTmises of those who started
the affair are correct, and that the
case against the great corporation is
even stronger than was anticipated by
anyone Further developments are
expacted to show that the company's S
attempts to bunoo the State have been
a continuing one, and that for years
the Maryland taxpayers have been the
victims of one of the greatest frauds
of the country The committee and
its COIps Of able attorneys have gotten
down to work, aud the way they have
made the railway officials squirm on
the witness stand has been peculiarly
gratifying to everyone, for railway
officials rarely ever have any real
friends.

will be considered finally in the COM
mittees, and the crowds here asking
for money have beaten the record. All

TIE other bill. introduced by Sena-
tor Moore, of Worcester county, pro-
vides for the establishment Of State
sanatorium under State management
and carries an appropriation of Sl25,
0OO; 800, 600 for ground and buildings,
and $50, 600 for maintenance. This
bill was drawn according TO the plans
of the State tuberculosis Commission.
which was created by the Legislature
OF 1904 for the specific purpose Of de.
vising the best public policy to meet
the demand for sanatorium accuumo-
dation for part of the consumptives
of Maryl land.
The commission is composed Gf five
prominent citizens of Maryland who
must be considered as experts and
who, in fact, are in position to recon-
mend the best line .of public policy.
Their bill should certainly have the
most conscientious consideration at
the hands of the Legislature There
is such thing as being penny wise
and pound foolish. - The people of
Maryland are demanding a State Tu.

management.
While the Eudowood sanatorium has
undoubtedly been doing good work as
q private institution, the fact remains
that in spite of the proposed change
of its name TO the Mary land Saaator.
ium it will continue TO be q private
institution under the management OF
board of private citizens, and not q
public institution. The appreciation
