THE BEAUTIES MADE GOOD.
AleaIar Company PLAYED To Two Very Good
Houses On Saturday.

Although a burlesque company, the
Alcazar Beauties, which presented ''the
brightest spoke in the wheelS of show
land in three editions at the Colo
nial Theatre ON Saturday afternoon
and evening, proved n clean. enjoy
able and on the whole a good show.
Tim SulliVan's Chowder. which
was dubbed the opening edition, was
indeed traNesty well fitted for the
Introduction of James +. Leonard,
who was cast as sullivan, the ward

the funny business. which, strange 10
say. was not wholly slap-slick COM
edy. ny Billy Hart, as the conven-
tional Dutchman. Billy made a
bright particular hit, particularly at
the "muchly" MILDLY attended matinee
when he entered decked in all the
military paraphernalia the property

ing that he was Colvocoresses. The
Middies were tickled clean through.
not very large, but good chorus,
made plenty of sparkle and proved a
good drawing card for the young men
of the Naval Academy. The second
edition of the show consisted of n
number of unusually good vaudeville
stunts. Chief among. these was the
Irish Magician, Lawrence Crane, who
in addition to knowing his palming
and his tricks, has happy faculty OF
jollying his audience along, which
took right away. Miss Eta Victoria,
although we failed To discover why
she should have been called 'the
Bashful Venus ON the program,
proved one of the best contortionist
and tumblers ever seen i'm Annapolis
-McDevitt md Kelly were strong
favorites with the audience, and de-
served ii for their eccentric dancing
and clog work.
Annapolis can easily stand some
more burlesque shows if they viii
give as good show and stay as far
way from suggestiveness and bum
jokes as did the Alcazar Beauties.

70 BUY Bay RIDGE!
REPORT OUT THAT SHORTLINE
WANTS RESORT.
Mr.. Brown Says lie Cannot Say Anything
About Reported Deal Randall
Also Reficent.

Although no definite confirmation
can be got.in this city, there is a re-
port here that the Maryland Electric
Railways Company. now operating
the Baltimore and Annapolis Short
Line. has acquired control OF Bay
Ridge, the formerly popular resort a
few miles from Annapolis. The inn
preston prevails that the company
which is now i'm process of change To
an electric line, will open the bayside
resort next season. and with better
traffic facilities attempt TO restore ii
to its former popularity with Balti.
more and Washington excursionists.
According To apparently well found
ed report. the deal was consummated at
n recent meeting of the Bay Ridge Inn
provement Company. No deeds or
transfer papers have been filed in the
courts vet, but il is understood tina
these have been drawn and possibly
signed. The deal will probably be
made public within a short time.
The Bay Ridge Improvement Com
pany's controlling stock holders are
identified prominently with Baltimore
and Ohio interests, and the secretary
of the company is Mr.. L.. NJ. Woolford,
one of the officers of the railroad com
any. The purchase price and condi-
tions of the sale. il IL has been com
leted, cannot be learned yet. Mr..
Shellman B. Brown, vice-president of
this Maryland Electric Company, when
asked about the reported deal, while
he declined to verify it, would not
deny il. All that ne would say was
Il cannot tell you anything about il
officially or privately Mr.. ID. X.
Randall, the railroad company's coun-
sci, and the gentleman who is under
stood to have drawn the deeds, was
equally reticent. The general idea in
this city, however, is that the trans
fer of the property, which is consid
cred the most valuable excursion re-
sort .on the Chesapeake, either has
been or will shortly be completed.
In its applications TO the City Coun-
ell for trolley franchises, the Short
Line mas held out for route through
Annapolis and to the new county
bridge connecting this city with East
port. This would give the road an
easily completed connection across
country to Bay Ridge, making the
resort more accessible TO Annapolitans
than ever before, in addition to fur
nishing shorter and more direct con-
nections from Baltimore.

INTERESTING REPORT.
WIDE-OPEN WINDOWS AID TO
CONSERVATIVES.
Mrs. William Osler. tuberculosis Nurse.
Makes Statement.

The report OF the nurse for consump-
tives. known as the Mrs. William
Osler, tuberculosis nurse. has been
sent out by the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Association, Of Baltimore,
under the direction of which the work
is done. The funds for the mainten-
ance of this nurse, who devotes her
whole time to tuberculosis patients,
have been raised by Mrs. Osler dur
ing the past few years, several nurses
having held the position. Miss T.. y.
I.aMotte is the present worker in the
field. and the report of her labors is
most encouraging showing both what
good can be accomplished by even
one nurse and also the great practical
need OF more workers i'm this field.
Miss LaAiotte's report, in part, is:
During the last year 497 new cases
have been visited, of which only
nineteen were greatly, perhaps perma-
nently, benefited; 145 died, and of
the remainder the most that can be
said is that they are alive. Some of
these nineteen improved cases are fine
examples of courage and bravery. one
little woman, dressmaker by trade,
with two boys dependent upon her,
kept her windows open all last win
ter, even in the bitterest weather. She
never lost day in her work, but wore
two or three coats and woolen hood
to keep her warm. She carried out
the treatment faithfully, and today,
after eighteen months perseverance,,
is practically well. She is a splen did
example OF what can be done for the
cJnsumptive at home. 1t is a signif-
cant fact that not one OF these nineteen
improved cases has been TO n sanitar
ium-their Improvement was brought
about by their own efforts and those
of the nurse in rearranging their nome
and living accordingly.
The preventive aspect of the work is
more reaching and encouraging
and herein lies almost its entire value.
IL seems as IL there is hardly a house
hold into which some knowledge of
the danger of tuberculosis has not
penetrated. The nurse began it, but
the people themselves are carrying il
on. AS an instance of this, the nurse
was called one day to see n dying con-
a well-to-do mechanic, and
she found that his daughter had al
ready been useing every possible pre-
When the nurse asked who
had shown her how to do these things
She replied "Aunt Em taught me.
She is the old colored woman who
works for me, and her son was your
Datient.'

NAVAL NOMENCLATURE.
To Establish Uniformity In Designating

In order To establish uniformity in
naval nomenclature Secretary Metcalf
has decided that the designation Of
ships of the navy shall be confined
10 the words United States Ships. =
which for convenience may be abbre-
waited TO II. :. :.
Recently the practice became general
in the service Of referring TO receiv-
ing ships as ~ ;. X. s." and of
tlagships as ''U. :. +. s." Torpedo
boats are designated as ~. :. II.
;. and destroyers as II. ;. Il. u.
These initials appear on the cap rib
bons Of the bluejackets. the regulations
requiring the enlisted men to wear on
their cap ribbons the name of tho yes
sci to which they are attached.
These designations are irregular;
all of the ships are United States
ships and the flagship OF the Atlantic
fleet is not the United States dag
ship Connecticut" but ~. ;. $.
Connecticut, Flagship. These small
details doubtless appear TO the civil
ian of little importance, but in the
military service uniformity in such
matters counts for much.
