CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP.
Address Before The EpwOrth Leagne AT
EastpOrt- An Interesting
Meeting.

4 largely attended and highly inter-
esting meeting was held last night at
the Methodist Episcopal Church at
Passport, the Rev. j. w. Hammersley,
pastor, under the aus pices of the Ep-
worth League. The meeting and en-
tertainment was under the manage
ment Of Mr.. Hatch, upon whom the
successful results reflect credit.
The program was interspersed with
music by a quartet from the Naval
Academy orchestra, consisting Of
Messrs. Henry Boettcher, Woolley,
Brandenberg and Pulitzer. The SER
vices were opened with ScriptuTal
reading and prayer by the pastor. The
feature of the evening was an ad-
dress by Hugh X. Riley, Esq, n
member of.the Annapolis bar and the
City Counsellor.
Mr.. Riley began his address by a
reference to the growth of Eastport in
inhabitants and importance in late
years and the increased civic duties
which rested upon the community in
consequence. lie said that it was
rapidly approaching the point where
in the natural course of things, Ii
would assume greater responsibilities
by incorporation and taking mp
greater measure of local government.
He said that the responsibility for this
government would rest upon every
citizfn and that the principles of
religion were the only safeguards to
political Improvement. The function
of religion, as typified by the church,
he said, was not to settle political
questions, but to impress upon the
people that they must settle them
themselve yes, recognizing as one of their
duties to God that they should be
settled with a view to the real inter
ests of the community.
The speaker traced a number of
analaogies in the incidents of good cit
izenship and Christianity. He said
that they were alike in their origin
because that although we were born
citizens of America and of Christian
nation, we could become neither in a
true sense without fulfilling the obli-
cations imposed by citizenship and
religion. He also traced a similarity
in their privileges and duties, devot-
ing a large part of his remarks to
specifying n nubmer of the latter.
In conclusion the speaker said that
Jesus was the ideal citizen as well as
the ideal man; that He counselled his
followers to.subject themselves to their
government and to perform their civil
duties and that He.gave them such an
example of good citizenship in his
life that at His trial only perjured
testimony could be brought to prove
any Offense against the laws.

buttons in verse by the West Annapo-
lis Bard, whose modesty induced him

compositions were we'll received and
favorably commented upon. The sub
ject matter, verse. rhythm, etc., were
all very good and there were received
at this Office any number of inquiries
as 10 who was the author of the
poems. Finally he was prevailed
upon to append his signature and it

Mr.. League is now a claimant for
further honors, and besides being a

issued to the public school teachers

State superintendent of Education.
The following excerpts from an
article in the booklet by John Wilbur
jenkins gives a sketch in brief OF
the day:
MARY land Day, as fixed by tho
State Board of Education, is not
holiday, but n day of intensive his
tory study, in tho schools. Each
year one important event in Maryland
history is to be selected, and this
topic is TO be thoroughly presented
in every public school in the State.
Patriotic and historic societies arc
expected to lend their aid to mako
the observance n complete success.
Thus, by concentrating these forces
of intelligence upon single event
each year, that occurrence will be SO
deeply impressed ON the public mind
that il will never be forgotten.
This must excite a greater interest
in this study and result in historic
renaissance that should bring with il
wave of patriotism and State pride
that will be of even more value than
any mere knowledge that may he

IMPRESSIVE SERVICES.
Admiral TIIIey Buried WIN IIOnOrs Due Rank.


The services over the body of Rear
Admiral Benjamin F. Tilley, late COM
mandant of League Island navy yard,
Philadelphia, whose funeral took
place at o clock at the Naval Acad-
envy yesterday afternoon, were very
impressive.
Upon the arrival of the body at the
Academy salute of thirteen guns, at
intervals of one minute each, was
fred from the shore battery. The ma
tional flag remained at half-mast on the
flagstaff until sunset. The Official
escort from the armory to the cemetery
consisted of the battalion of marines,
headed by the Academy baud. Ar
rangements for the funeral were made
by Capt. Thomas Il. Howard, of the
Academy staff, who commanded the
eortege. At the grave brief burial
service was said, musician sounded
TAPS, and a squad OF marines fired
three volleys over the grave.
The pallbearers were Capt. James M.
Miller. of League Island navy yard !:
Capt. Edward d. Taussig, of the re-
ceiving ship Hancock, at the New
York navy yard; Capt. Arthur p.
Nazro. of the League Island navy
yard; Capt. George p. CoIvocoresses,
commandant at the Naval Academy
Commander Hamilton Hutchins, of
the League Island navy yard, and
Commander Albert w. Grant. .on duty
at the Naval Academy. The body
bearers were eight bluejackets from
the ships stationed at the Naval
Academy.
The services were conducted by
Chaplain II. II. Clark and were large

Naval Academy. The interment was

A MONEY HANDICAP.
Finances May Bar The. MIddies From The
Hudson Regatta.

The project of sending a Naval
Academy crew to the Hudson Regatta
on June 20 has come 20 be largely
conditional upon the financial side OF
the matter. as il has been found that
circumstances are such that there will
be little interference with the routine
Of tie midShipmen on account of the
trip. As the matter of a sufficient
fund TO cover the EXPENSES of the
crew has not been settled. the subject
has not been broached officially, shut
there is such general approval of the
entrance of the crew that il is believed
that permission could be obtained.
1t has been asceTtained that the
majority of the members of the crew
will be at liberty on the date of the
race and for over two weeks previous
to il. This is SO because three of
the members of the first crew belong
To the first class and viii have grad
uated. while several others belonging
TO the present third class, the mem
bers of which will go on leave after
the date of graduation. II is thought
that permission can be obtained for
the two or three other members who
Will make up the squad TO rejoin
their ship just after the race.
Athletic funds have to be admins
tered economically at the Naval Acad-
emy, inasmuch as il is at a disad-
vantage compared TO other athletic
institutions for two reasons-there
are no gate receipts and practically
all the games are played at home, and
hence no guarantees covering expenses
in behalf of their contests. The officers
and midshipmen contribute literally
within their means, but il is not GER
tain that financial conditions at this
time will make the heavy expense of
the Poughkeepsie trip possible.
