SEVERN RIVER FROZEN.
Ice Embargo May Be Serious at An
napolis.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, January 26-With the
prediction of colder weather perhaps fol-
the next few days, the ice embargo in the
local harbor will probably become serious
For the first time this winter Severn river
and the harbor are frozen over, as the re-
salt Of the recent cold snap, and a mass
of Ice also extends far out into the bay
The river has, however, been partly kept
open by the government tug Standish of the
Naval Academy.
The steamer Emma Giles of the Toll
chester Company, which had such a hard
time getting down past Sandy Point yes
terday while en- route to Choptank river,
was yesterday replaced by the Susquehan-
na which. made the usual Friday run to
Annapolis. The Susquehanna, too, reported
much ice in the upper section of the bay,
and she was delayed more than an hour
in reaching here in consequence. When
the foes were thick she was compelled to
proceed cautiously.
A number of oyster schooners and other
smaller vessels sought refuge in the harbor
yesterday from the fields of ice. Four
schooners bound up the bay were having
in the vicinity of Greenberry Point light,
and the tug Standish was sent out from
the Naval Academy to open up way for
them. This done, the sailing craft were
able to follow in the wake of the tug and
come in safely. Thursday afternoon a
small steam launch from one of the United
States monitors anchored off the academy
narrowly escaped sinking while coming
into the academy dock. The launch was
unprotected, and after she had gone a
few yards from the ship she was cut
through by the ice and began to fill. The
engine was Immediately reversed, however,
and the launch managed to get back to
the ship, where the damage was repaired.

Madame de Thebes, the pythoness of Paris
How she got her hold on Paris begins
years ago, when Alexandra Dumas fills
was dabbling in astrology and chiromancy
with the Chevalier d'Arpentigny.
One evening Dumas asked twelve phys;ol-
ogists of faculty and institute to dinner;
and after dessert he passed them singly
into side room, where sat young woman
palmist-astrologist. One by one she read
their hands-with such success that Dumas
published an enthusiastic account of the
seance in the Figaro. Madame de Thebes
was launched.
Her succeeding vogue must be ascribed to
an uncanny way of guessing true-particu-
larly for celebrities, who in turn adver-
tised her. To Ferdinand Brunetiere she
announced that he would soon enjoy two
unexpected satisfactions-and within six
months he was member of the French
Academy and director of the Revue des
Deux Mondes.' During an historic evening
at the house of DR.. Tripier she predicted a
violent death for the Marquis de Mores-
and warned him to put it off by keeping
clear of Africa. The National Dictionary
Of Contemporaries" stands for it that she
predicted the charity bazaar fire; and it is
certain that Count Robert de Montesquiou
ascribes his self-possession during that ter
rible hour to her prediction: you will
shortly escape death by burning
Consulted by Kings and Queens.

STATE EXAMINER

One Of the many good features of
the new constitution is the provision
for state examiner ana inspector. To
some extent this is new departure,
but 1t is in the right direction II Ok

department in the beginning thou
sands of dollars would have been saved
To the counties.
The constitution only extends his
dgties to state and county treasurers,
but the legislature may add additional
duties. The advantages TO accrue from
thorough inspection and supervision
by competent state officer are very
great.
Section 10 OF article 4 reads as fol
lows:
"The state examiner ard inspector
must have had at least three years ex-
perience as an expert accountant; his
duties shall be, without notice to such
treasurer, TO examine the state and all
