TABLET TO CAPT. TINGEY.
Secretary Bonaparte And F. w.
Hackett Speak.

Secretary Bonaparte and Frank w.
Hackett, former Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, were the chief speakers
at the unveiling of bronze tablet at
the Washington navy yard to Captain
Thomas Tingey, the first commandant
of the yard. The tablet has been
placed in the wall of the commandant' S
residence, which was built by Captain
Tingey early in the nineteenth CEN
tury.
Captain Tingey was commandant
for nearly thirty years, and the Brit
ish partially destroyed the buildings
in the navy yard while he was living
there in 1874. Secretary Bonaparte
recalled the fact that the Washington
navy yard came into existence as the
result of the decision OF one Congress
that a number of warships should be
built TO protect the young nation. A
later Congress defeated the plan for
the warships, and little later the
British sailed up the Potomac and par
TALLY destroyed Washington, which the
Secretary of the Navy said was the
best possible illustration of what hap
pens to nations which are not prepar-
ed for war.
In speaking of Captain Tingey, Mr..
Bonaparte asid a nation must alw avs
remember that many of its most use
full men are those who modestly and
faithfully perform their duties and
never have an opportunity to dis
tinguish themselves by service made
possible by extraordinary conditions.

MANY GOING TO THE GAME
Via The A., w. And II. And Penn
sylYania Railroads.

Since the A., w. & Il. railroad and
Pennsylvania railroad announced their
intention to operate first-class train
of Pullman Parlor Cars, Dining Cars,
and Vestibule coaches from Annapo-
lis TO Philadelphia the demand for
tickets has been so great as TO require
an additional train.
There will now be two trains operat-
ed over the above lines, said trains to
be made up of the very best equip
emnt which the Pennsylvania rail-
road can command and to each train
will be attached a dining car in
which lunch will be served en- route
to Philadelphia and at Franklin Field
and in which dinner will be served
while returning to Annapolis. There
will be plenty of room on both
trains.
For those nor--earing To pay for
Pullman parlor car seats there will be
provided the very best Vestibuled
coaches now in use on the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad, in which coaches the
seats will be free. Each train will
be so made up as To insure the most
satisfactory service both as TO accom-
modations and schedule.

THE NAVY TEAM LEAVES
MILDLY Squad Got Away For Phila-
delphia This Morning.

With very little, comparatively. of
the noise attending such occasions in
past years, the Navy football squad
of twenty-eight players and suhsti-
tufes and the coaching squad and OH
GERS in command left the Naval Acad-
emy this morning for Philadelphia,
where, tomorrow the Army mule 5
Maud-likeN abilities viii be pitted
against the hutting ability of the
Navy Goat.
There was plenty of enthusiasm and
quiet encouragement given the team,
but the usual amount of cnoers and
wells was reduced on account OF the
recent action of Commandant OF Mid
shipman George p. Colvocoresses in
calling down the cadet officers for
permitting these demonstrations, which
he termed unmilitary' and dis
grace TO the institution.
Captain Spencer and his warriors
for the Blue and Gold got away short
ly after the regular breakfast, which
at the Academy is always about an
hour ahead of the stirring of the gen
eral run of Annapolitans. They were
given the -Four n" yell and some
other cheers and assured that when the
brigade reached Philadelphia ii would
make up for its comparative silence
here by completely swapping the
vocal encouragement of the Army bri
gade on the South stand.
Captain Thomas B. Howard, Il. ;.
N, secretary of the Navy Athletic
Association, was in command of the
football squad and will be assisted
by Lieutenant Commanders IL. j.
Ziegemeier and +. c. Cook. The
coaches who went along were Head
Coach Paul J. Dashiell, Field Coach
John Gates, of Yale, Lieutenants
Reeves and Fowler, Ensign Reed and
Passed Atidshipman Douglass Howard,
captain of the Navy team last year.
The train left at 8 o'clock and the
midshipmen will reach Philadelphia
about noon. They will put up at
the Hotel Walton and after luncheon
will go out to Franklin Field for a
short practice this afternoon.

In other words, it viii have two de-
partments--th one its commercial de-

partment. In taking this step the old
bank is returning to a policy inaugu-
rated by it over one hundred years

formerly Comptroller of the Currency
of the United States, in his monumen-
tai work History of Banking, says
that the Farmers National Bank of
Maryland was the only bank in Amer
lea at the time of its establishment
that allowed interest on deposits. For
many years it maintained. n Savings

tablishes as the times seem ripe for it,.

FATAL HOLIDAY ACCIDENT.
ANDREW HIGGINS KILLED AT
CITY GAS WORKS.
Derrick Falls And His Life Crushed
Out-Two Other Workmen
Badly Injured.

A gloom was east over a large part of
the town Yesterday afternoon by a
horrible accident that occurred at the
Annapolis Gas and Electric Light
works. in which one man lost his life
and two others were seriously injured.
The man who was killed was An
drew Higgins, thirty-thrce years old,
whose home is in Amber, Pa. The
injured are James Stroh. of West
Point, Pa, left leg and arm broken
and back strained; James Freeman, of
Annapolis, foot crushed. The bones
of the leg of Stroh are broken in splin-
ters. and he sustained compound
fracture of the femur.
The injury to Freeman. the Annap-
oils man, while not so serious. is very
painful. It viii be some weeks be-
fore Stroh will be able 10 leave the
Emergency Hospital, where the i'm
iured mtn were taken after the acci-
dent occurred. At the hospital both
men are reported by the surgical staff
TO be resting as comfortably as pos
sible this morning under existing cir
cumstances.
The three men, with number of
others employed by the construction
firm of Cruise q kemper, of Philadel-
phia, were engaged in erecting large
iron gas tank for the gas company.
The derrick was placed in position
Yesterday. The derrick was of the
type known as n shears, and the ropes
that held il were being frightened
when the accident occurred. The three
men were on the derrick when the ac-
cident occurred. They were on the
derrick, about fifteen fest from the
ground. just at the point where
il was hinged.
Higgins, who-was handling the guy
rope, was standing beneath the huge
structure, and, as testified by his
fellow-w orlSmen before the coroner,
failed to obey the command of the
movements of the derrick. Instead of
holding to the rope, Higgins pulled il,
and this brought the derrick crashing
to the flooring of the tank. Higgins
body was crushed beneath it, one of
the wooden timbers breaking over his
back. Death was instantaneous. Near
ly all of his ribs were broken, the
head partly crushed and the right leg
broken. Stroh was struck ON the
back by the derrick and hurled vio-
lently against the iron sheeting, which
broke an arm and leg.
Justice Charles G. Feldmeyer, acting
coroner, viewed the body of the dead
man and after hearing the testimony
of six of the work men, decided that
an inquest was unnecessary. it was
decided that Higgins death was due
TO his negligence in pulling the rope.
Higgins was not married.

THE NAVY ROWING PLANS.
Harvard And Cornell Are Likely to
Send Crews Here.

The Naval Academy exepcts 10 al 4
Harvard, and possibly Cornell. to its
rowing schedule this season. besides
meeting Yale, University Of Pennsyl-
Aania, Columbia and Georgetown. as
in seasons past. The crew promises

bv far the largest number Of races
of any college crew in the country.
The races viii all take place on the

May. The races with Yale, Pennsyl-
vania and Georgetown will be double

utions sending a FIRST and either Sec
ond or freshman crew. Yale has here
tOrore sent but one crew. Harvard
has never before rowed here, but "A
race for the coming season is almost
certain.
The rowing authorities of the Naval
academy are trying hard to arrange
for the entry of a crew at Poughkeep-
sic, but IL is hardly likely that the
desired permission can be obtained.
II it cannot a strong effort viii be
made to bring Cornell 10 Annapolis.
II this is done the Navy crew viii
meet Cornell, Pennsylvania, George
town and Columbia, all the Poughkeep-
sic entries except Syracuse and Wis
consin, and Yale and Harvard in adj
dition. The distance of the races on
the severn has always been two
miles, bat some of the races this sea-
son may be for four miles.

A three-act farce-comedy a

the local theatre yesterday afternoon

audiences were very large. The play
is one of those mixed-up muddles of

farce-comedy of the slap-stick order.
The appearance of a dog and cat,
also live parrot on the stage help to
liven up things that are already pretty
lively. Mr.. Webster Cullison, as the

nicely and the characters were all we'll
taken for that kind of a comedy. The
