NO CAMP OF INSTRUCTION
Guardsmeu Disappointed At Decision Of The
War Department.

The hopes of the Maryland National
Guard of going to regular army
camp of instruction this summer were
blighted by a dispatch from Washing
ton yesterday.
Assistant Secretary oliver, of the
War Department, has notified the Gov
ernors of the States supporting an or
ganiZed militia that the contemplated
brigade camps for the instruction of
the infantry, cavalry and field artil-
lery will have to be omitted.
This will be done because many
posts will be depleted by the absence
of troops, 5000 being now in Cuba,
and because considerable number
will be at the jamestown Exposition,
and because of a movement of a large
part of the United States forces to the
Philippines.
In the coast states. however, it is
planned to hold instruction camps for
the Coast Artillery, and the National
Guard of these states will be invited
to take part. This will be of particu-
lar interest TO Maryland guardsmen,
as a Coast Artillery company has been
orderd recruited.
The dispatch says that invitations,
specifying in detail the forces required
to carry out the proposed problems OF
coast defense, will soon be issue to the
Governors of the Seaboard states. The
camps are expected TO be held in July
and will probably last from week tc
ten davS.

TO HONOR GIRL MARTYR.
SeYenty-Fourth Anniversary of Miss Pru-
dence crandaI'S Condemnation.
Especial Correspondence.

Waterbury, Conn. March S.--After
lapse of nearly seventy five years
the repentant town of Canterbury has
arranged to pay honor tomorrow to the
memory of Miss Prudence Crandall,
whom il imprisoned for teaching col
ored girls to write. Tomorrow will
be the seventy anniversary of
Miss Crandall's condemnation.
Born of Quaker parents, Prudence
Crandall possessed fine fighting
spirit. In 1882, when she conducted
select academy for young women at
Canterbury, she admitted TO member
ship Sarah Harris, colored. Connec-
ticut was at that time strong for social
equality, but it wanted equality for
itself. Miss Crandall was visited by
a committee headed by Federal Judge
Andrew II. Judson, who insisted upon
the colored girls immediate expul-
sion.
In response Miss Crandall inserted
an advertisement in the local news
paper to the effect that hereafter she
would instruct only colored girls.
In a rage Canterbury held town
meeting, as result of which Miss
Crandall and Elder Kneeland, who
was in the assemblage to pronounce
her the only honest woman in all the
township, were thrown into Jail. Cap
tain Daniel Packard effected their es-
cape, after which Miss Crandall went
TO Kansas, where she rallied with John
Brown, and died only ten years ago.
Now the town which condemned and
imprisoned her seventy-four years ago
has decided to erect handsome me-
mortal in her honor.

Soon To Be Occupied.

The Academic Building, which is ex-
ceeded in size by Bancroft Hall only
among the buildings of the new Naval
Academy, will be completed within a
month and the Naval Academy Ii
brary will at once be moved into ii.
The Academic Building consists of
three adjoining parts and is also
known as the "Acadepic Group"
The library will occupy the main
building and the two wings are al
Building faces on the Maryland ave

parallel to the walk upon which it
faces and two wings extended to the
front and perpendicular to the walk.
The west wing is now occupied by
the physical and chemical laborator-
els and the east wing by the depart
ments of mathematics, modern Ian
guages and English and law. The
library, which will occupy the main
building, will be the last branch to
occupy its quarters in the building.
Included in the building is a good
sized auditorium, with -an elevated
stage at one end. This has been a
great need at the Academy for many
years.
The library nov occupies contracted
quarters in the original Chapel build
ing. Previously it occupied somewhat
larger but still inadequate rooms in
the building which was used for the
offices Of the superintendent and those
connected with the clerical work of

A New Boat Engine for Mr.. Charles
Gates.

The Less More Nalveless Engine
Co. of North Tonawanda, n. y, have
shipped to Mr.. Charles Gates, 81 Col
lege avenue, this city, the first en-
CINE of their 1907 model for his boat.
This engine is a model of simplicity,
having but three working parts and
still produces more power than any
other engine made of equal size. In
finish il is said TO surpass anything
ever before attempted in a gasoline
motor and must be seen to be appre-
ciated. This engine is spoken of as
the Engine without a tool kit
(where il is known), owing to its
freedom from trouble. This company
claims that in this engine they have a
practical demonstration that gaso-
line motor can be built of the highest
priced material and most expensive
labor to be had, producing power
that Is steady, reliable and always
ready at fair price.
Mr.. Guy l.. Avery, mechanical ex-
pert and vice-president of the com
pany. will be ct the Hotel Maryland
on Monday and Tuesday, March IL
and 10. '07. lie comes down here to
personally install this engine for Mr..

wise those thinking of buying an en-
gine this summer TO see Mr.. Avery

A BUSY SPRING PROMISED.
INDICATIONS OF BUILDING OP.
ERATIONS GOOD.
Many improvements Planned IN Every
Part OF The City..WOrk To Be
Done AZ The Naval
Academy.

There is every reason to believe
that there viii be an unusually large
amount of work in Annapolis aud
vicinity during the coming Spring
and summer, Notwithstanding the
fact that the constructive work at
the Naval Academy is nearing COM
pletion. In fact it is likely that
Annapolis will ever have buster
season except at the time when the
work at the Academy was in full
blast.
Work will be pushed on at least two
large bulldogs attached To the Naval
Academy this Summer. These are
the power house ia the Naval Acad-
envy proper aud the experimental
Building at the old proving grounds.
Then the sum of $3.50, 900 will be
expended in converting about five
sixth of tue Seamanship Building into
modern gymnsium.
There are still some finishing touches
TO be done on the Chapel and Aca-
demic Building and a very large
amount of grading, piiing, laying of
walks and general reconstruction of
the grounds besides the tearing down
OF number of the old and temporary
buildings. In all, it is likely that
nearly million dollars will be spent
at the Naval Academy before the adj
vent of another Winter.
The municipal Improvements and
remodelliug of the State House grounds
will also give work 10 large number
of people and there is prospect of
notable building boom. II is known
that n large number Of persons who
have either owned lots at Murray Hill
for some time or recently acquired
them, have been waiting until the
section secured city improvements in
order to build.
Sewers and tarred macadam pave
ments will be laid through nearly the
whole section of Murray Hill this
Spring and Summer, as we'll as in
other portions of the city, and there
is no doubt that large amount of
residence building will follow.
1t is also believed that the unuually
large amount of money made by the
oystermen this season will encourage
building those engaged in that work.
The local season has been by far the
most remunerative for years for the
oystermen and it is likely that some
of them will build in this city or at
PASSPORT. Altogether the outlook for
busy Spring and Summer among the
workers is very encouraging.

Ii is said that more convict-mado
goods are produced in Missouri than
in any other state.
The Flour and Cereal Mill em-
ployees are to hold their national con
vention shortly at Bellevilie, Ill.
The new State of Oklahoma has
adopted what is known as the standard
child labor law, which is similar 20
the laws in force in several of the
Eastern states.
Several of the large national and
International labor bodies have de-
cided TO hold their conventions at
Norfolk this summer during the
Jamestown Exposition.
Carpenters, plumbers, painters, lath-
ers, plasterers, electricians, building
laborers and sheet metal workers in
Tacoma have recently commenced an
enforcement of the "card rule
\ labor union at san Francisco COM
posed largely of former soldiers has
passed resolutions strongly favoring
the restoration of the army canteen
'in the interest of men, not theories.
New York police want the eight

held meetings recently and decided 10
organize all the men on the force and
then make a stand for the three pla-
toon system.
4 woman's union for the protection
