THE BALDwINS TROUBLE.
Snowman Is Sued In New York For
Absolute Divorce.

IL will be interesting to, Annapoli-
tans to know that the Great White
Mahatmas who recently gave week 5
successful show here with Shadow,
is having troubles of his own.
In New York Kitty" Baldwin, the
Rosicrueian somnomist,' otherwise
Caroline ID. BALDWIN, has brought an
action against '.The Great Baldwin,
otherwise Samuel $. Baldwin, for an
absolute divorce, and, aside from his
alleged transfer of his affections to
Miss Blanche Shadow, Kitty"
Baldwin assigns a collateral reason
for suing him quite unusual in mat
rimonial cases.
1.-The Baldwins, white Mahatmas,
were famous as mindreaders all over
the world six years ago. Kitty
Baldwin was an English actress when
she became Baldwin's professional
partner, and five years later, in 1892,
his wife. She says they were so sue
cessful in their art that they earned
as high as $40, 900 a week. Six years
ago they separated, and by agreement
he paid her &3, 900. Then, she asserts,
he engaged two young girls, calling
one his niece and the other his daugh-
ter. who took her place in the mind
reading performances. He is now a
white-haired man over 60 years old.

ROBERT F. DOOSON A SUICIDE
Takes His Own Life By Shooting
Himself Through Temple.

The community in which Mr..
Robert +. Dodson, a prominent citi-
zen of this county, living near Water
bury, about eight miles from Annapo-
lis, on the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis Railroad, had resided,
were much shocked this morning at
his suicide, which occurred about 10
o'clock by means Of shooting himself
with revolver, the bullet entering
just above the ear. lie was probaly
killed instantly.
Mr.. Dodson, it is understood, left a
note to his friend, Mr.. William G.
Crane, citizen of the neighborhood,
in which it was. stated that he felt that
he was gradually losing his mind and
preferred death to insanity. The
shooting was evidently planned with
great deliberation.
Mr.. Dodson was sixty-five years of
age and had been for many years a
teacher in the public schools of the
county. lie also served as justice of
the peace and judge of the Orphans
Court. He leaves a wife and five
grown children-two sons and three
daughters, the latter all married. He
was a man of probity and intelligence
and was held in great respect through
out the county. The circumstances
of his death are much felt by those
who knew him.
About fifteen years ago Mr.. Dodson S
brother, John III. Dodson, who was
also a school teacher, started TO leave
his school after the close of the ses-
sion and was never seen alive aagin.
Several months afterwards the skele-
ton of a man supposed to have been

substituted. The latter stayed in the
game long enough to get in one excel
lent run and was displaced by Ma
gruder, as punter was necessary TO
fill stevens place. After stevens and
Warfield left the game, almost all
of the carrying of the ball fell upon
Anderson and to this sterling player
more than anyone else is the credit
for today's victory due. He ploughed
through outside of tackle again and
again and il was only by his work
that st. Johns was enabled to make
the required distances to hold the
ball. Late in the half Bowen made
eighteen yards on a well executed
side-ilne fake. just as time was call
ed st. Johns had the ball on Hopkins
1-yard line. During the half two at
tempts at goals from the field had been
frustrated by Hopkins.
The game today redeems an unfor-
tunats season for st. John S, the local
team having lost to Maryland Agricul-
tural and Western Maryland Colleges.
The student body went wild and car
reid the especial heroes of the game
off the field on their shoulders. Capt.
Stevens punted eXcellently and carried
the ball for good gains several times,
Notwithstanding his bad knee. Ander
son was the special hero of the game
and carried the ball in two out of three
plays during the whole game. Full
back Quimby was, as usual, tower
of defence and Bowen, who played
his frst game as regular, showed
remarkable keenness in following the
ball and either recovering it or nail
ing the runner. Michael, Webb, Stew
art and Hart played good games for
Hopkins. The team, however ex-
hausted itself in the first half and the
honors in the second were all with the
visitors.
