How She Kept Her Word.

Viscountess Gotham, an English
lady, publicly showed how very sacred
she held even a promise made in an
idle hour when there was no prospect
that she would be called upon for it's
fulfllment. The promise was that
when Hasebury, the town near Hagley
Hall, her favorite country home, built
a new church she would lay the foun-
dation stone. Recently the church au-
thorities had an opportunity to replace
the old building with new one. and
the viscountess, who had gone on |;
visit to South Africa, was notified at
Johannesburg shortly after her arrival
that the stone was to be laid She i'm

HAPPYlAND AFFORDS HAPPINESS.
DeWOIf IIOpper's cOmicaIity Amuses a Big
Audience At Colonial.

TIappyland" made every rybody
happy who attended the matinee and
night performance at the Colonial
Theatre Saturday. DeWolf Hopper
was the same comical character he
always is, but perhaps he did not
ppear to such good advantage as in
Wang. The story of the opera re-
lates to the efforts of King Ecstaticus
tMr. lIopper), monarch of Elysia, a
synonym for 'Happyland, " 10 avoid
an armed invasion of his kingdom.
lie bargains to give n son in marriage
to the daughter Of the invader, not
withstanding that his only offspring
is n girl, and thereby hinges in
Vulnerable comic episodes and ludi-
crous situations, which DeWolf Hop
per utilizes to the fullest extent. He
sings funny songs, does funny stunts
and makes mis- audience roar with
laughter. lie is ably supported by
an excellent company.
Miss Marguerite CLARK, as Sylvia,
is dainty and sweet, tiny package
of loveliness, all peaches and cream.
She has n sweet, rich voice, and her
song What Is The Difference is n
great hit. The male chorus is one
of the best ever heard here, the voices
are all strong, rich and full. Mr..
Joseph Phillips, as Fortunatus, is
capable. His voice is sweet, musi-
cal tenor, which he has well under
control.
Mr.. Hendricks, solo in the chorus
with the Arcadian Shepherds, made
one of the hits of the many musical
numbers. MIR. Hopper was Obliged
to answer to curtain call, and by
request he recited in his inimitable
style Casey at the Bat. He got
off several grinds for the benefit of
the midsnipmen. He said he would
have to sleep in Annapolis Saturday
night, but as il was such an unusual
thing to sleep in town, he would
have to get some one 10 shake the
mattress and throw cinders in his
eyes. lie said he would get out be-
fore (naming an officer Mt the

unilagigng entertainment for two au-
diences that were, numerically, record
breakers at the local playhouse.

NO MORE BASKET BALL,
Fencing The Only Sport Allowed Much
Disappointment.

IL i generally understood that there
will bc no more match games of bas-
ketball ut the Naval Academy this
session, and some disappointment is
felt because the officials of the Naval
Academy have announced that the
middies will not be permitted TO carry
out the schedule of basketball games.
1t is said fencing is thought 10 be
quite enough sport for the middies this
winter. Basketball made its first ap-
pearance at the Academy this season,
and, although the midshipmen had en-
tered actively into the sport, there
has all along been some difficulty in
getting under way. One game had
arleady been cancelled that with Car
roll Institute, of Washington, January
12-and the action of the authorities
will necessitate the canceling of all
other contests.
Among the games arranged was
one with Lehigh for February 23.

AND THE SHIPS SAILED AWAY.
KingstOn's Governor Spurus Aid From The
American MarShIps.

The American Navy has been in
suited by Governor Swettenham, of
Kingston, who spurns aid and re-
sentS the work OF brave and noble
seamen in the Navy's errand. I'm re
turn for the hard work of the Ameri-
can sailois and the efficient aid of
the surgeons i'm caring for the wound
ed, they were practically expelled
from Kingston by Governor Swetton-
ham.
In compliance with the Governors
peremptory request, Admiral Davis
sailed with the battleships Missouri
and Indiana and the gunhoat Yank-
ton. He also countermanded the or
der dispatching the supply ship cell
tic, laden with beef, to the stricken
city. In n letter, sneering and dis
courteous in its tone, TO Admiral
Davis, Governor Swettenham said;
IF i. the American Consulate
needs guarding l have no OBJ
lection to your detailing force for
the sole purpose of guarding, bat the
party must have no firearms.
IF your ENcellency should remain
long enough. / am sure almost all
the private owners would be glad of
the services OF the navy TO save eN-
penhe.
1T is no longer question of hu-
manity. All the dead died days ago,
and the work of giving them burial
is merely one of convenience.
II would be glad to accept delivery
of the safe which, il Is alleged,
thieves had possession of. Tin this
sentence the writer east doubt on the
word of Admiral Davis, who had re-
ported his men had assisted work
ing party to catch thieves, recovering
from them safe taken from iewelry
store, valued at $4,000.
Governor Swettenhams action is
deplored by residents OF Kingston,
some of whom suggest that he be
asked to resign. London heard of
the incident with amazement, the
highest appreciation of the American
Navy's course having been expressed
by newspapers and public.

HIS TRAIN LEFT HIM.
Conductor Attends 70 Business And The En-.
gineer Moves On.

The conductor on the Short Line
train bound from Baltimore TO Annap-
oils yesterday morning at s o'clock,
had an unusual experience. lie step
ped of the train at Wellham' TO at
tend to some business matter, and
the engineer, after waiting the usual
length of time, and thinking that the
conductor had perhaps forgotten to
give the signal to go ahead, threw on
the lever and the train pulled away
from the station. No one knew of the
conductors absence until Glen Burnie
was reached.
The engineer stopped the train at
this station, although he had not
been signaled to do so, and it was
then that everyone became aware of
the conductors absence. The train
was then backed toward Wellham S,
station, ten miles from Baltimore.
The conductor had stated to walk to
Glen Burnie. The passengers had the
laugh on the conductor.

MiODIES WON WITH THE FOIIS.
Defeated Fencing Team From The I. $. Bat
tIeship Virginia.

The midshipmen won from a team
of graduates of the Naval Academy
now stationed on the battIeship Nir-
ginia with the foils Saturday after
noon by a score of five bouts 10
four. The match was very close, a
fence OFF between Dichman and Cren-
shaw, who had tied, being necessary
to decide it. In points the local
fencers got l2l and the visitors 93.
Thu visiting team was composed of
Herbert +. I4eary, (captain, Harry
q. Knox and Russell 5. Crenshaw.
The Naval Academy team was com
posed of Grattan G. Dichman (cap-
tain), Harold DEF. Burdiek and Wal
ter Smith. The bouts were as fol-
lows: Dichman defeated. Leary, 81 10
IA; Knox defeated Bnrdick, IL TO 10:
Crenshaw defeated Smith, l2 TO r;
Burdiek defeated Leary, 10 to II; Knox
defeated Smith, Q to 81; Dichman and
Crenshaw, tied; Smith, defeated
Leary, 16 to 10: Dichman defeated
Knox, IS to 8; Creushaw defeated
Burdick, 16 to 13. Fence-off-Dic ich-
man defeated Crenshaw, to 4.
The star performer of the bouts was
Captain Dichman. of the middies' trio,
who succeeded in winning all of his
bouts, in one of which he won the
match for his team. In his second
bout, which was with Crenshaw, the
result was n tie, and after the others
had been decided the two engaged
in a one-minute bout and Dichman
was declared winner.
Another interesting bout was that
between Dichman and Knox, won was
captain of the Academy team in 1905.
The two went at il in n spirited
manner, although Dichman won hand
lily. He seemed to scor5 touches cas-
lily. and the final score was Is to ).
Knox and Crenshaw each won two
bouts, but Leary had the misfortune
to lose all three.

DECLINED TO SEND TEAM.
Wet Point Will Not Shoot With The Mid
Shipmen This Season.

some little disappointment is felt
nj the Naval Academy over the news
tbat the cadets of West Point Mill
tarv Academy have declined TO send a
riae team to Annapolis in the spring
to contest with the midshipmen.
The soldiers assign the same reason
AZ that for declining the challenge
extended by the middies last season
lack of time to devote to rife practice
and the development of team. In
the place Of the Army, the midship-
men are now trying to arrange match
with the officers of the Seventh Regi-
menf. New York National Guard.
The midshipmen are taking much in
lerest in file sport, and the candi-
dates who will try for the team mum
her seventy.
Active practice, however, will moi
heein until after the semiannual eN
aminalions in February. II is expect
cd to arrange contests with the officer,
of the Mary land and District of Go
lnmbia National Guardsmen.
