A Suggestion.

BY residents of Eastport who are not
at all disposed To make complaint of
the existing methods of transportation
during the building Of the Spa bridge,
a suggestion is made herein for better
hours for the ferry. The working
people who live at Eastport cannot
quit work at noon until the noon hour
-12 O'Clock. The ferry leaves the
Annapolis side at that hour and it is
impossible for these people to make
the ferry in time. They<must, there
fore, wait for at least twenty five min
utes to a half hour, and cannot get
their dinner and return in time.
Some of these men are railroad men
and w watchmen from the Naval Acad-
emy and must miss their dinner or
return to work too late. The sug-
gestion is made that the ferry leave
the Annapolis side at 1915, instead
Of at noon, and the Eastport side at
quarter of o'clock, thus giving q
half hour for the working people to
get their dinner. 1t is earnestly
hoped the change will be soon made
for the benefit of all classes concern

HICKS FOR PRESENT MONTH.
THE KIND OF WEATHER JANU-
AIRY WILL GRIND OUT.
A Regular Storm Period To Start With
And Rain. Snow And SIeet
Will Probably Be
Grand Finale.

A regular storm period is central on
the 9th, covering the 3rd TO the Sth.
The Mercury period, which was cen
trail on December 9th, extends to the
7th and will excite the normal ten
dency TO rain, sleet and snow ON and
touching the 4th, 9th and 9th.
These storms will culminate on and
touching the 9th. attended by low
barometer, higher temperature and
possible tightening and thunder TO
the southwark. Rain will turn rapid
ly to sleet and snow, all followed by
full grown cold wave, which Will
spread dangerously far into the South
and East, progressively from the
Northwest, from about the 18th TO the
l2th.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 18th. 18th and 18th. This period
embraces new moon, at solar eclipse
node, also at greatest declination South
and in perigee. Barometer, wind cur
rents aand clouds will all show grow.
ing storm conditions py the llth and
18th, put the crisis will fall on and
touching the 18th. High winter
gales, rain southwark, and snow
storms amounting 20 blizzards and
blockades noIthward. Another wide
and wicked cold wave will come on
the scene about the 18th to the 10th.
A regular storm period is ut the
beginning of n Venus period. Storm
conditions at this period will develop
and culminate from the 10th 10 the
Goth. The crisis will be on and
touching the 10th. Renewed rain and
snow storms will pass over the eoun-
try during this period, with high
barometer, gales and cold wave fol-
lowing close behind and touching
most about the Goth and 2lst.
A reactionaIy storm period will lie
between the 2lst and gath, touching
perhaps the last of sthe 2lst and the
first of the gath, its crisis being on
the 22nd. Renewed snow squalls will
be general about these days and quick
ened cold will follow up about the
26th.
A regular storm period covers the
27th to 3lst, having its center on the
2Sth, this last January storm period
brings us we'll toward the center of
the Venus period. The full moon, or
Moons opposition with Earth and
Sun, is on the 29th.
BY the 27th decided fall of the ba-
rometer will appear in western sec
tions, and as the condition moves
eastward il will merge into cloudi-
ness, higher temperature and storms
of rain, turning into snow. The crisis
of this period will center on the 29th.
Within thirty-six hours of noon on
the goth, especially on and following
that date, heavy rain and wind
storms will cross the country TO the
southwark, and in central and north
ern latitudes rains will turn to snow
and sleet, with indications good for
severe gales and billiards out of the
northwest.

A WEEKLY MESSAGE.
Communicated
-, xNnrlrorc.


Dear Fellow-Wor
God, in His condescending mercy,
has permitted you and me to enter
the portal of another year. Contin-
ued life means continued response
bility. Whatever may have been our
mistakes and sins in the past, let us
determine that every day of the pres
ent year shall, by the Lord S help, be
filled with faithful service.
Let us remember that we are dealing
with the eternal interests of God S
cherished little ones, as well as Others
who are precious to Him. IL is right
that we should have the best methods
it is right that we should be equipped,
so far as possible, with knowledge of
the Bible and the art of imparting its
truths to others. God has given us
material agencies that must not be
ignored, but methods are not ends
within themselves they should be
used as ladders to reach to higher
things. The best results are those that
touch the spiritual needs OF the schol-
ars-which help to build character.
whereby the scholar may be fitted fol
the life here and the life hereafter.
In future messages l shall discuss
these methods, but l shall not forget
to place the conversion and Christian
training of the scholar paramount
to all other things. That you may
have the divine gifts of wisdom and
faith and love, / pray in His Name.

TENTATIVE TEAM SELECTED
The Nayys Basket Ball Match Is Arranged
For January II.

The basketball squad at the Naval
Academy has now been reduced to
about eighteen members and tenta-
tive first team has been selected.
This consists of Greene center;
Albeit and McKittrick, forwards:
Capt. Norton, and Stephenson, de-
fense.
This team will change, of course,
il any other players show superior
ability. 1t is very likely that w. a.
Richardson, the member of the fourth
class who made the football team dur
ing his first year at the Academy, is
likely to make place before the sea-
son closes. He shows great brilliancy
of play, but has not yet had sufficient
practice TO make his shooting for
goal accurate. He was captain of the
basketball team of the University OF
Tennessee, and was selected as a
member of the All-Southern Basket
Ball team.
The first match game of the season
and the first ever to take place at the
Naval Academy, will be played on
the evening of January II, the mid
shipments opponents being the five OF
Carroll Institute, Washington, ID. {.

VISITORS FROM CANAL ZONE
One of The Party Hero-GaNe LifeS Blood
To Save His Sister.

/ Mason T.. Mitchell, cashier in the
bank at the Canal Zone, spent few
hours in the city today EN- route from
/ Walls, Miss, 10 Panama. As noted
/ in these columns q few weeks ago
| Mrs. Mitchell died at Panama Novem-
Der of arterio malacia and her remains
were hrought TO her old home in Mis-
sissippi, where they were inferred ON
December Ia.
Mr.. Mitchell spent several years in
Annapolis.and was formerly cadet
at the Naval Academy, and has many
friends here, who join the Capital in
extending 20 him condolences in his
late bereavement. Mr.. Mitchell was
accompanied by his brother-in-law,
Mr.. George Amistead, also of the
Canal Zone. Mr.. Armistead is a hero
in the eyes of the medical profession,
having given freely of his life's blood
TO save his sister. Mr.. Armistead
bears scar on his left arm few in
ches above the wrist, whore his arm
was lanced for the purpose of infusing
| his blood into his sisters body.
Fifty per cent of Mr.. Armistoad's
blood was transferred to his sisters
veins, but the operation was perform
ell too late and Mrs. Mitchell died.
1t was the only hope of saving Mrs.
Mitchell's life and surgeons asked for
a volunteer and the patents brother
readily offered himself sacrifice to
save his sisters life, if possible. He
was SO weak after losing so per cent
of his blood bysinfusion into the veins
of his sister that he was not able TO
stand or walk for some weeks. Tho
young man is a noble example of a
brothers love for a sister.
The case recalls the recent Offer OF
Prof. Nincente Garcia Naldes, of tho
United States Naval Academy, to give
quart of his blood TO a patient in a
Newark, n. j., hospital, who was
dying from the effects of inhaling
| illumination gas. Professor Naldes'
offer was made by telegraph whilo he
was in Washington, but was received
too late and was not accepted, and the
patient died. Professor Naldes offered
TO make the sacrifice in payment OF IA
VOW he had made and prayers an
swered for the recovery of his mother
who passed through critical ill
ness.
Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Armistoad
paid their respects TO Admiral and
Mrs. Sands, bearing messages from
the superintendent son, who is also
a resident of the Canal Zone.

TAX COLLECTIONS GOOD.
The Present City Treasurer Has Few Unpaid
Tax Bills On Hand

So effective has been the tax collee-
tlon of City Treasurer and Collector
Winson q. Gott, that the whole amount
of taxes for the year 1905. which end
ed in July of that year, has been col
lected with the exception of taxes due
on five pieces of real property and
three parcels of personality.
IL is very likely that the taxes on
these pieces Will be paid prior TO jan
nary 10, when they are advertised for
sale. Treasurer Gott is the first occu-
pant Of the Office for years who has
carried out the provisions of the law
in regard to the enforcement Of the
payment of taxes in arrears by legal
procedure. As a result, the taxes
have been paid with great promptness
and there is practically no balance
to collect at this time, which is but
six months after the close of the fis-
cal year, whereas, it h as taken an
average of at least four years for for
mer incumbents TO close up their tax
collections.
