following he was assigned 10 duty on
the United States monitor Florida and
he was attached to that vessel at the
time of his death, having been tenn

Communicated
A Religious Fanatic

Mr.. Editor - In your edition of
yesterday you gave a copy of an
anonymous letter received in Annapo
lis that morning, being part of a chain
of prayer The letter is well called
sacriligious. 1t has come from some
misguided religious fanatic, and is
also a blasphemous lie deserving SUI
preme contempt.
The letter received yesterday was
not the first received in Annapolis. /
received one in October, postmarked
Annapolis, which | at once destroyed.
TO my knowledge many of my ac-
quaintances have received this letter
and have as promptly destroyed it. II
deserves nothing better. ! am sorry
some have hardened TO its foolish
blasphemous threat. We who read
the Church papers, saw in August
and September a communication from
Bishop Laurence repudiating all con
nection with this letter and urging us
TO prevent its dissemination. This was
not necessary to any one knowing
even by reputation only, the great,
scholarly Bishop of Massachusetts,, foI
they knew that such a stupid, sacri-
legious injunction could not have en-
joyed his approval.
/ hope our good people of Annapolis
will, in every way, prevent the spread
of this folly by the silent contempt
anonymous letters deserve.
Very respectfully yours,
JOSEPH p. McCOMAS,
Rector of st. Anne's Parish.

BAY RIDGE
The Deserted Summer Resort.

The following little poem composed
by former school teacher of the city
public school, who is now disabled
because of protracted illness, COM
mends itself as especially appropriate
at this time, when the opening of Bay
Ridge is only question of about a
year:
| know a spot where Pleasure strayed,
AS well in sunshine as in shade
And countless numbers, man and
maid,
Came seeking her.
Some sought her in the wooded dell,
Where whispering trees their secrets
tell
And bat and owl contented dwell,
Without demur.
And some who did for Pleasure crave,
Looked for her in the rolling wave
Which undulating came to lave
The pebbly strand.
And others wandered round and round,
'Mongst gravelly walks, by posies
bound,
Because by them she would be found
Anear the band.
Still others thought it best to take
A row upon the placid lake
And Pleasure followed in their wake
With hashing oar.
And many thought perchance they "A
meet
Where violins made music sweet.
And so they sought with twitching
feet.
The dancing floor.
With puppets, targets. dying horse,
And bucking goats and pony course,
And cars propelled by hidden force
4 merry din.
Then weary, near the close Of day,
They sat upon the long cafe,
And caught the breeze that from the
bay
Came sweeping in.
But now, her votaries have fled,
The Ridge is silent as the dead,
Except where mother Natures tread
Is seen and heard.
BY singing bird and humming bees,
BY waving grass and nodding trees,
And sights and sounds akin to these,
The pulse is stirred.
When Pleasure, in her quiet mood,
Doth Ger the solemn silence brood,
She will afford us ample food
For serious thought.
And still with pleasant face she strays
By winding shore and fiowery ways,
Where thousands in those other days
So keenly sought.

Carriage Upset.

A carriage in which the Rev. Father
Funk, c. SIS. r., of st. Mary parish
and Brother Arthur were driving yes
terday afternoon, upset near the Ma
tional Cemetery on the Camp Parole
road, and the vehicle was somewhat
damaged. The horse shied at some
obstacle in the road and in a sudden
lunge upset the vehicle, throwing the
occupants out. Neither the Rev.
Father nor the Brother were injured.
One wheel of the carriage became
locked and was torn off. The buggy
is an old one, having been in use the
past six or seven years to convey the
venerable Father A. j. NJ. McInerney
on his afternoon drives.

Appreciates Home Paper.

In renewing his subscription for an
other year to the Evening Capital, one
of the New York City subscribers
writes as follows:
'Your paper has now become so
firmly established in our house that
the first thing Mrs. - asks for each
evening upon my arrival from business
is Have you my home paper:'
The little home paper is appreciated
everywhere it goes, and this is only
one of many instances of the kind
words sent this Office by subscribers
and friends.

LOCAL ATTORNEY A VICTIM.
Another Link In The Chain Petition.-Profes.
sion Needs Prayer.

An Annapolis attorney has received
letter containing identically the
same prayer which was sent to Mrs.
Arthur Basil and which purports to be
"A link of the chain prayer which is
being circulated. AS in the case of
the letter sent To Mrs. Basil, it states
that the number of the series is "26'
and asks that in the letters to be
sentout, the number be stated as "'27. y
The scheme, the letter states, has
the approval of Bishop Laurence, but
it is fair to say that such things have
frequently been attempted in the
past, with the professed approval of
some person in high religious posi-
ton, but the person named has always
disclaimed his approval when the
matter has been brought to his atten-
tion.
Some one started to figure out how
many letters had been written if no
one had broken the chain and all the
letters had been written up TO the
twenty-sixth series, but the task proved
too much for them. However, it was
found that if all the letters had been
written through the ninth series there
would have been written 473, 71S, 439
letters. The tenth series would, of
course, increased this number by nine
times the last number of letters writ
ten-tnose in the ninth series. This
would make number far in excess
of the total population of the world.
The chain prayer is an appeal to the
superstition of the people who are adj
dressed. II promises absolutely a great
blessing To those who perform the con-
ditions of the proposition and threatens
the certainty of great calamity to
those who do not perform it.
