The Naval Academy Auxiliary
Navy Relief Society, which is to meet
as per notice at the house of the Su-
perintendent on Wednesday after
noon, December Z. may require a
little explanation. as il is sometimes
confused with the Army and Navy

formed in 1904, and 10 independent
OF and separate from any other SER
vice society. It's object is to relieve
personal distress in the families of

Marine Corps, where their bread
winners have been removed by

and orphans, by securing employ
men, and by assisting to secure
EDUCATIONAL advantages for such
orphan children.

financially as follows: Families of
deceased seamen and marines, 43; of
warrant officers, g.; of commissioned
officers, 9. Seventeen widows were
assisted in presenting their pension
claims
This society was originated as a
means of properly distributing to
worthy service cases the Navy's pro-
ceeds of the Army-Navy football
game. Failure to hold the game in
1909 deprived it of large source of
ncome, while at the same time the
cases worthy of its assistance we're
constantly increasing.
officers and men of the feet con-
tributed last year over $4,000 to
the fund, but this was not sufficient
to offset the loss due to the failure
to hold the game lin 1909.
Mrs. Bowyer, wife of the Superin.
tendent, will preside at the meeting
on Wednesday. and it is requested
that all interested in the objects of
the society will attend. The an.

former pastor of st. Martins Evan
gelical Lutheran Church, this city.
The German Lutheran service is
very solemn and impressive, and is

bride was given in marriage by her
father, retired member of the Ma

of white satin, en- train, with tulle
veil to the end of her train. and held
in the hair with lilies of the valley
and orange blossoms. She carried a
shower bouquet of bride roses. The
maid of honor was beautifully gowned
in pink peau de sole and carried pink
carnations.

nished by the groom for his young
bride. Many friends extend congrat-
ulations, and wish Mr.. and Mrs Ros-
ner much happiness.

SPLENDID VAUDEVILLE
The Colonial Theare Has Clever Artist
Ia Cannon Bali Juggling

Perhaps the best vaudeville that
has been seen at the Colonial Thea
ire this season was the bill last
night, which will be repeated tonight
and tomorrow night.
Sevill and Piffo, German artists,
are most clever. The man is a can
non ball juggler. aod does several
clever stunts. He stands on one end
of see-saw with cannon ball on
the other, and by certain quick
movement throws the cannon ball
twelve feet in the air, catching it on
the back of his neck. He also catch.
es three cannon balls, one on each
arm and one on the back of his
neck, in q clever act.
The act is we'll worth seeing. A
little comedy is introduced to relieve
the tension of the daring of the can
non ball juggler. There is also sing
ing and dancing by a soubrette, who
won popular favor with the audi
ence. The Colonial Theatre is we'll
heated and ventilated, has com
Portable seats and with three reels
of the best pictures, the best vau-
deville is all that can be desired.
