The Craze for Labels.

Many people anxious to show their
friends how far they have travelled,
and at how many places they have
stayed. refuse to remove the old rail
way labels from their bags and port.
manteaus. 1t is harmless vanity as
far as 1t concerns themselves. but
one which causes much bewilderment
to the railway authorities. The num-
Der of comparatively fresh labels on
bag renders it very. difficult for a
porter to know which is positively the
last, and not infrequently luggage goes
astray in consequence, especially
when changes of train have to be
made on journey. At holiday times
this label fad is real D'.isance to
the railway authorities. for If bag
gage is lost and cannot be traced con-
pensation has to be paid. A smaf
leather case. about a foot long and
seven or eight inches deep and wide.

Hagerstown Especially While the
inmates we're sound asleep, two
masked burglars, at an early hour
forced an entrance into the house
of Jacob B. Blank and wife, an
aged couple living at Mt. Brair, along
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
four miles south of Keedysville, this
county, and while one of the robbers
covered the couple with his revolver,
the other ransacked the premises.
They secured but "a, missing $3.50
in a locked chest.
Miss Birdie M. Griffith, daughter
of neighbor, who has been staying
with Mrs. Blank during the illness
of Mr.. Blank, was badly frightened
by the robbers. When one of the
men forced his way into her room
she jumped from a second story
window and gave an alarm. By the
time neighbors gathered the robbers
had fed, without leaving any trace
behind.
The robbery was one of the most
daring committed in Washington
County in many years, and but for
the escape from the house by Miss
Griffith it is believed the inmates
would have been subjected to various
forms of torture to force them to
reveal the whereabouts of the mon

Buttons For Jackets.

The backs of the jackets are not
made plain; buttons of the same color
as the jacket, not as the facings, seem
to part the basques at the sides and
at the back, indicating that these are
separated, and might perhaps be butt
toned up. Some Jackets, braided all
over, are worn with finely-pleated
skirts in light yelling and untrimmed.

It was an enjoyable play at Polls last night when the stock company present. ed "Old Heidelberg" This famous piece, which allows the chief man char acter to spring into the llmelight, gave Harry Ingram. the leading man of the company, such an opportunity last night and as Prince Karl he made the most of it. Ingram was an ideal bash ful youth. and he made the quick change, to the Heidelberg student quickly and effectively.
 Drew IA. Morton has provided an ex- cellent scenic equipment and the pro- duction ranged with any high priced show seen in this city.
 Edna Archer Crawford Is the Kathes of the play and made the most of the part. The entire company was well cast, the favorites, including MT. But terfleld, Miss Lucas and MT. Lawlor, scoring individually.
 Songs between the acts and the nov ing pictures helped to make the waits pleasant.

YALE'S OARSMEN
 FIT AS RIDDLES
(contlnued from First Page. ,

ITOTn F1TSt Rage.) which occurred when the change in the varsity boat necessitated the taking of four-oar men for the big boat.
 Harvard should win the freshmen eight oar event. as the Crimson fresh men are splendid crew. while Yale's men are only just now beginning to show signs of good rowing form Yale has advanced a great deal during the past few days and the freshmen most of all, so that even if Harvard takes this event the Yale shell should be found not far behind.
 The real hard work of the regatta Is all over, except on race day Today Wednesday,, commences the first of the races. Those who have to be in the thick of the contest on Thursday will stand off this evening and see the be- ginning of the races.
 The first race of the year will take place at p. m. and will be between the freshmen fours from each unlver- eity. The distance will be one mile, the course being rowed from the two and one-half mile flag upstream to the three and one-half mile flag. The crews will be made up as follows:
 Harvard.
 Coxswain-Everett.
 Stroke-O Richardson.
 No 3-Jewett
 No 2--Smith.
 BoW--R. Reece.
 Yale.
 Coxswain-Maxwell.
 Stroke-Colburn
 No. 3--Holloway.
 No. 2Bogue.
 Bow-Davis.
 Immediately after this race the graduate race for the Graves silver cup, donated by Andy Graves, will bt held. Harvard has a cinch in this cup, having won 1t two years in suc' cession. The race is but short one being only half mile, but the con. testants generally have found It long enough. Yale has no part of its crew ready as yet, as all the old graduates are at New Haven attending the com mencement exercises, or celebrating the victory over Harvard in the base. ball game For Harvard the old oars men will probably line up as follows Stroke, Fulton (Pirate) Blake; No. ' James Lawrence '01; No. 6, Guy Ban croft 'O2 No. ,, George Derby; No 4, Donald Gregg; No, 8, Jim Duffy No. 2. Sam Wolcott; bow, c. M Sheafe. This event looks like a cinct for Harvard, still Yale may get { line on the big pot after all, if hel old oarsmen get together and row.
 In Yale and Harvard quarters to- night there was nothing done but thu lightest of practice. John Kenned. sent the varsity eight out up stream at 5:20 p. rn., the shell being out bu a short half hour. The men rowet splendidly on the smooth water ant showed up we'll.
