A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT.
Mr.. Charles R. Taggart PIeases Large Aud.
ience At Local Y. NJ. c. a.

seldom has il been the pleasure and
privilege of an Annapolis public TO
heartily enjoy an entertainment with
SO much zest as that afforded them at
the city Y. NJ. G. A. Hall on Saturday
night by Mr.. Charles Il. Tsggart.
Mr.. Taggart, who is styled The
Man From Vermont is an entertain
er in the true sense OF the word. Be-
sides being a splendid musician and
master of the violin and piano, he Is
a gifted ventriloquist and wonder
ful mimic. There were many surprises
in store for the large audience pre-
sent and every part of the program
gave pleasure TO all present. Phere
is no doubt that the versatile Mr.
Taggart in his entertainment here
Saturday night succeeded IN doing
what he always attempts To do-turn
pain into pleasure by his music,
worries into wonderment by his MIN
icry and sadness into smiles by his
humor.
Mr.. Targart charmed and delighted
his audience and nothing but praise
is heard by all VINO were there. lie
is a good story teller, wonderinl
mimic and an exceptional Neptrllo-
quist. He sang and played beauil-
fully on the piano, then made VOICE
from inside the piano sing by means
of his adept ventriloquism. He is
perfect prodigy with the violin. lie
hung his bow on the wall and played
the violin by drawing the instrument
across the bow. He played with the
violin on his head, and again he play
ed by manipulating the bow with ms
mouth and holding the violin In both
hands. He played by passing the
violin over the bow instead of the bow
over the violin and did various other
tricks with the instrument.
Mr.. Taggart is an artist and his en-
tertainment which was refined and
elevating was a pronounced success
from every standpoint The local
Young Mems Christian Association is
to be congratulated upon having Sc
cured his services.

WILL ROW At POUGHKEEPSIE.
Secretary MetcaIf Says lie Will Grant The
Necessary Permission To The
-. Midshipmen.

Secretary Metcalf said Saturday
that he had decided 10 grant permis-
ison for the eight-oared crew of the
Naval Academy TO tcompete in the
annual regatta on the Hudson river,
opposite Poughkeepsie, jane 20. The
Secretary said he felt justified in this
action by reason OF the fact that the
regatta was TO be rowed in the vaca-
tion OF the midshipmen, and, conse-
quently woeld not interfere in the
least with their studies.
Rear Admiral Sands, superintendent
Of the Naval Academy, who is known
to favor the proposition, Will visit
Washington early this week and con
fer with Secretary Metcalf in regard 10
the matter The question of finances,
it is said, will be easily solved. The
expenses of the trip will be large, and
the Navy Athletic Association, which
is the governing body OF athletics at
the Naval academy, admits that its
treasury is not rich and Will be un-
able TO bear the burden, since new
shell has. been bought and this repre-
sents a big outlay.
However. a very genreous offer to
donate the funds has been made by
several New York alumni, now living
in civil life, who are anxious to see
the MILDLY crew compete. The names
of the donors have not been made
public. 1t is known, however, that
much correspondence has been going
on between the New Workers and ofii-
GERS at the Academy, Captain Ingram
and Manager Hollyday of the crew.
When the middies meet the crack
varsity crews .at Poughkeepsie next
summer it will be the first time in
the history of athletic sports that the
Naval Academy has participated in
an outside event in which one or
more colleges competed. The only
athletic events in which the middies
compete outside of this city are the
annual football and baseball games
b etween the Military and Naval
a cademies, and the intercollegiate
fencing tournament.
The football games have generally
been played in Philadelphia, while
the baseball contests take place alter
nately at West Point and Annapolis.
As TO the fencing tournament, the
are allowed 10 enter this prin-
cipally to contest with the West Point
cadets, who also belong to the intercol-
leigate association.
The only boat race lost last year was
t nat with Pennsylvania, and the mid
dies were in ba condition at the time.
This years crew, under the tutelage
Of Richard Glendon, of the Boston
Athletic Association, who has coached
for three years, is without doubt the
strongest that ever represented the
navy and has arleady defeated George
town. which will also be in the Pough-
keepsie event. 1t is the general opin-
ion that the middies Will make
strong showing in the regatta.

The Circuit Court for Anne Arun-
del county convened here today for
the April term. Chief Judge Rogers
and Associate Judges Revell and
Thomas were on the bench. The
charge 10 the grand jury was deliver
ed by Judge Revell and Chief Judge
Rogers conducted ths call of the
docket. After the call of the docket
the trial OF cases on the magistrate S
appeal docket was begun.
The court announced the following
selection of grand and petit jurors:
Grand Jurors William +. Williams,
foreman; oliver :. League, Charles
A. Dubois, William III. Moss, Cor
nelius Jarboe, Lemon BealI, Xacha-
riah Wood, Robert Arnold, John B.

In his charge Judge Revell alluded
to the lynching of the negro Cham
bers or Lee. charged with criminal
assault upon Mrs. John Reid, the
lynching occurring during December
last. Judge Revell said that the act
was contrary to law and must be
punished IL information could be
found as to who had committed the
act. However, he said, those taking
part in such affairs were not gener-
ally punished by the courts. Judge
Revell said that the law allowed a
person to shoot down robber and
that it was not remarkable that per-
sons should take the law in their
hands when n woman was robbed of
that which was far dearer than any
mere property.
The Judge also warned the grand
ury TO be alert in looking out for yio-
lations of local option and Sunday
laws and named the Fifth and Third
districts, contiguous TO Baltimore city,
and the Eighth district, in the lower
end of the county, as sections where
it had been alleged that violations
bad taken place. Judge Revell also
called the attention of the jury TO
certain statutes that are required to
be laid before them, including that
directed against abortion, tho law
relative to crap shooting and other
forms of gambling and the provision
requiring that doors of public build
ings shall open outward.
There will probably be about the
usual amount of criminal business
during the term and more than the
usual amount of civil litigation. The
criminal cases docketed are as fol-
lows: Seven continuances. IL appeals,
appearances and 10 recognizsnces.
The civil cases are Ten appeals, e2
trials, removed cases and 81 appear
ances.

For Closer allegiance.

The joint board of the Army and
Navy has determined upon a policy
to establish closer relations and a
more thorough cooperation in time
of war between the personnel of the
seacoast fortifications of the army
and the forces of the navy. The plan
is to have a number of officers and
enlisted men of each service inter
change visits whenever naval vessels
come within waters in proximity TO
seacoast Notifications, in order to
become acquainted with the methods
of offense and defense employed by
each.
1t was further decided by the joint
board that the Adjutant General Of
the Army should give to the Chief of
the Bureau of Navigation information
as to the time artillery practice will
be held in any artillery district, in
order that the navy may detail men to
be present as witnesses. Likewise.
the Chief of the Bureau of Navigation
is instructed to notify the Adjutant
General of navy target practice, SO that
the army may send details of wit
nesseS.

Germany, which is close competi-
tor of the United States in the relative
strength of tis navy, has sixteen

In Great Condition.

The bureau of Navigation has re-
ceived report Of the annual physicai
examinations held by the resident sur
geons at the Naval Academy. ol the
six hundred midshipmen that TOOK the
examination not more than three or
four were reported sufficiently dis
qualified to cause them to leave the
Academy. This admirable showing is
probably due to the stricter physical
examinations held at the time the
midshipmen are admitted TO the Acad-
emV.

Contrary To Regulations.

The War Department has heard from
the authorities at the Military Acad-
envy in regard TO the incident which
occurred last Satur lay and of which
much was made in the newspapers. 1t
was stated that the commandant of
cadets had deprived girl visitors, of
overcoats, which had been loaned
them by the cadets and, accordingly,
left them without protection against
the elements, which on that day were
particularly severe. There is just
this much in the affair.
Th Military Academy authorities
have come to the conclusion that they
must put stop TO this promiscuous
loaning of the uniform, and, what
ever sentiment may attach TO the use
of the cadets overcoats, il is con-
trary 10 the regulations. There was
no hardship imposed and no protests
were expressed to the authorities from
those who were bereft of the borrowed
garments or those who were guilty
of this form of hospitality. The ca
diets to whom the ovrecoats belonged
will be brought up for trial.

Adoption of Metal Boats.

Naval officers arc seriously consid-
ering the advisability of equipping
warships with metal boats in the place
of the wooden boats which have been
in use since the navy was organized.
There is some Opposition however, to
the proposed change on the ground
that the metal boat lacks the neatness
in appearance and the opportunity for
distinctive decoration of the wooden
boat. The metal boat. however, is
lighter i'm weight, an important consid-
Grafton on a warship.
The metal boat is also better pro-
tected from damage by gun fire, and
is not so easily splintered by the
shot OF the enemy. ON the other
hand. it cannot be so readily re-
paired in the temporary way which
is possible with the wooden boat.
However, the navy board of construc-
tion has taken up the subject with the
view of determining to just what ex-
tent it will be possible to make use OF
the metal boat.

amy, and from Harvard by a
score of to 2 i'm six innings. The
Cambridge men found n complete pua-
xle in Lanphior, the Navy pitcher, and

double steal, and both scored on
Jones' failure to get rather bad ball
thrown in by Ianphier. Briggs struck
out and Mccall was thrown out at

all three of the Navy pitchers, includ-
ing Lanphier, whom the Cambridge
boys had found n hard puzzle. Van
Auken started to pitch for the Navy,
but retired in favor of Lanphier, who
gave way in turn 10 Meade after four
innings.
The contest with Lafayette was a
comedy of errors on the part of the
middies. Captain Van Auken, though
not in good shape, pitched the frst
inning for the Navy and theu retired
in favor of Lanphier. Meade relieved
him in the sixth. Schneider, for La
fayette, gave several bases on balls,
but otherwise he had the Navy COM
pletely at his mercy and allowed only
two hts.

the compromise was fairly satisfactory
there. 1t was also very pleasing to
the people of the Hawaiian Islands, as
indicated by their representatives here,
because it does not curtail the immi-
grafton of japanese to that Territory.
But it is expected to effectively curtail
the migration of japanese from Hawaii
to the Pacific Coast, which is just what
Hawaii has been asking be done for
several years and which is also what
the Pacific Coast has been complain
ing about.
The hurrah in the Senate, however.
was on a different point. 1t was OBJ
jected by several Senators that the
japanese provision was new legislation
and therefore repugnant to the rules
of the Senate regarding conference re-
ports. Had it not been emergency leg
islation these objections would prob
ably have prevailed.
Still another point was raised that
added to the gayety for the time being.
In the conference agreement is a pro-
