VISITED COUNTY HOME
Mayor Strange Braves Elements For
Eighteen Miles Drive

Bravng the downpour of rain
yesterday Mayor James F. Strange,
who is a member of the Board of
Trustees of the County Home, drove
eighteen miles TO attend the regular
monthly meeting held at the old aims
house now the County Home" at
South River.
Much routine business was dis
cussed, and the establishment of a
system of water works Sor the
Home came under consideration at
the meeting.
There are now twenty inmates in
the County Home and this is an
unusually large number for so early
in the winter, for as the cold weather
comes on more of the feeble and dis
tressed and unprotected seek shelter,
and ask the county's bounty and pro-
lection. With the admission of
white woman in the next few days the
inmates at the Home will number
twenty-one.
When approached on the subject of
his keen interest in the Home, that
would cause him to brave drive of
eighteen miles in a heavy rain storm
yesterday, Mayor Strange modestly
replied, that another member of the
board who drove thirty-eight miles
in the county, manifested much
keener interest in the County Homes
welfare. than he.
The Mayor, however, has been a
benefactor to the Home, and has been
an active and earnest member of the
board, showing deep interest dur
ing his membership of several years.

NAVY VS.. .LEHIGH TOMORROW
Sailor Lads Will Try Conclusions With
The Crowd That West Point DOwned
So Easily

If the weather permits the final
practice of the Navy squad before
meeting the only team that also is on
the Army schedule, will be had this
afternoon when the sailors will get
ready for Lehigh tomorrow.
Although it poured in torrents of
cold wind driven rain, the coaches at
the Naval Academy yesterday after
noon did not let up on the work for
their charges The whole squad of
nearly forty men was out and prac-
ticed for nearly an hour on the class
field Immediately in front of Upshur
Row, to prevent cutting up the reg
ular gridiron in its softened condi-
tion. where the Middies will meet
Lehigh tomorrow.
The work, however, was light, con-
sisting for the most part of running
through signals, followed by a short
lineup between the first and second
teams, during which no scoring was
done by either side.
The work of the varsity eleven
still continues to show improvement
which, although slow IN steady and of
the coming" variety to give encour-
agement to the rooters. The same
combination was on the first team
yesterday afternoon as formed it
Tuesday afternoon. Dalton is still
being nursed for slight injury and
his place is filled by Clay.
More than usual interest is taken
locally in the game with Lehigh to-
morrow, as the Bethlehem crowd has
already been defeated by Army, and
is the only college that meets both of
the service schools this year. The
game will therefore give the first and
last opportunity for some compare
tive dope.
Then, on the following week come
the Indians. who will afford the first
chance for real stiff tryout and
proof of what the sailors may have in
them when Army is met on Franklin
Field.

NO WEATHER REPORT
Was The Weather Today So Bad The
Weather Bureau Is Ashamed OF Il?

For the first time since its establish
ment twenty-six years ago, The
Evening Capital received no weather
report from the Weather Bureau,
Baltimore today.
Perhaps it is because today's
weather is so bad the Weather Man
is ashamed of it,, or perhaps it is be-
cause he is ashamed of the big
"busts," and fake reports handed
out to Baltimore during the aviation
meet.
Baltimore Sun fair today" etc.,
etc. The very idea. Yesterday
fair" ditto, ditto. The Weather
Bureau for nearly twenty-seven
years past has sent daily reports lex
cept on holidays to The Capital
Office, forecasting the weather for
the next twenty-four hours.
When no weather report came up
to p. m. today, The Capital man
began to scratch his head and think
and think what holiday this is.
Searching the encyclopedia and every
other book he failed to find any holi-
day scheduled for November 4, but
inquiries at the telegraph Office fail
ed TO reveal any reason for not receiv-
ing a weather report, hence the con-
clusion of the matter is that the
Weather Bureau is ashamed of to-
days weather and its past few days
forecasts.
A telegram received from the West
ern Union Telegraph Company (via
telephone) at 2:35 this afternoon
from the Weather Bureau, says ::
"Cloudy this afternoon; fair tonight
and Saturday; rising temperature
Saturday." 1t was filed at 2 :25 p.
m. today in Baltimore.

HOPKINS GAME IN THE AIR
F. And NJ. And Mutes Fail To Agree
And Upset ST. John Hopkins Plans
For Game

That Johns Hopkins and st. John S
will meet in their lately arranged big
contest is not at all as assured a. it
was a few days ago.
Followers of the game at both Hop
kins and St. Johns were astounded
yesterday with the news that there
is a possibility of the game being
called off. News came from Gallau-
det that the mutes are in a crippled
condition and would not be able to
play Franklin and Marshall on No
vember IL, as they had agreed.
At the same time word was received
from Lancaster that in case of Gal
laudet refusing to appear, Franklin
and Marshall would hold St. John s
to its original schedule, which assigns
that date to tie Pennsylvania Col
lege. Manager Haynes, of Hopkins,
and Coach Harrison. of st. Johns,
left early Wednesday afternoon to
talk the matter over with the Gallau.

ILL AND FRIENDLESS
Two Former Citizens Diving At The
County Home

Two aged white men, both of
whom have relatives in Annapolis,
are i'll and friendless at the County
Home and their deaths are expected
at any time.
One of these is Andrew Lamb, whose
condition is precarious, the other is
John Thomas Jones, whose sons re-
side here. Both old men are extreme
" i'll and helpless, and they are liable
to die at any moment. Mr.. Lamb
used to live on West street extended,
but he has been an inmate of the
County Home for some years. The
sons of Mr.. Jones reside in the CEN
tire of the town.
If the relatives of either wish to
see the old men again before they
die, it is matter not to be deferred,
says Mayor Strange, one of the board
of trustees of the County Home, who
visited the sick men yesterday. Both
old men are bedridden and one is
mentally afflicted as well as physi-
cally disabled.

WILL THEY HAVE IT -?
R1mOr Says First Class Midshipmen
Nav Have Four Days Leave AT
Christmas

Nine. Rumor has 1t and it is whis-
.ered about in the circle Of the Rock
irg Chair Brigade, that the first
lass midshipmen at the Naval Acad-
my may be granted four days leave
. Christmas time.
IL is just possible that this priyi-
eye may be accorded the midship-
men, although the dope" is unohi-
riaI The idea is a good one, and ap-
peaIs TO all reasonable minds. Why
should not the midshipmen have a
few days leave at Christmas as well
AS the West Point cadets and tn ose
of other colleges and universities?
1t has not been done before at least
70 the recollection of some of the
proverbal oldest inhabitants" and
there seems to be some twinge of
cons science in all military circles of
establishing a precedent. Hitherto on
Christmas nights when others in their
family have been enjoying family
cheer around the freside. in the home
circle, the midshipmen have been
studying for recitations next day.
It seems to be feasible to grant the
first class a special privilege for
Christmas holidays, and the rumor
that there is a possibility of such
good fortune coming their way this
year, is cheering news to that portion
ton of the brigade who have the honor
and distinction Of being members of
the first class Certainly the first
classmen earn a Christmas holiday
after three years hard work at the
Naval Academy, and the granting of
same will probably inspire them to
reneWed and more earnest efforts.

PRICE ONE CENT.
W. B. & A. TIED UP
No Cars Running To Washington Up To
Late Hour Today

There has been a tie-up of cars on
the Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis Electric railway service since
5 O'Clock this morning. No cars
have run over the W, Il. 4 A. either
into or out of Annapolis today, up to
4 late hour this aftcrnoOnk
The trouble is with the power on
the road and efforts 10 remedy this
have been made continuously since 3
o'clock this morning. but no cars
were running up to p. m. The
tie-up on the W, Is. 4 A. greatly in
convenienced the travelling public this
morning, especially that part of il
en- route to Washington.
To rise early and to attempt to
catch the first or second car out Of
town for Washington on n dark,
stormy morning, with slush on the
sidewalks and snow beating into ones
face, and to walk some blocks to the
W, b. 4 A. depot, only to be told the
cars were not running, was the fate
of number of business men in town
who WORK i'm Washington.
AS the cars over the W, b. n A.
leave twenty minutes after the hour,
it gave but little time TO catch a
Short Line car on the half hour. Tray
elers bound for Washington today
were obliged to 60 to Baltimore on
the Short Line, and there board a
car for Washington, and were great
ly Inconvenience thereby.
AT first it was thought the storm
had something to do with the tie-up.
but upon inquiry at the w. B. &
A. depot this was declared not to be
the case, but the trouble is due to
the power.

COMEDY OF THE FIRST RANK
Girls AT The Colonial Theatre To-
morrow Matinee and Nipht

Tomorrow nights engagement at the
Colonial Theatre and at the matinee,
will be seen Clyde Fitch's most sue
cessful comedy Girls. which ran
for one whole year at Days Theatre
New York will be presented. Girls"
gives a description of the struggles
of three young women to earn a liv-
ing, their brave beginning and their
ultimate willingness to let mere man
work out the problem for them.
The whole play is Epure comedy of
the first rank. 1t pictures the dis
comforts and makeshifts of studio
life. One large room in a studio
building is the home of three young
women all out of employment deeply
in debt and looking for work. The
eldest of the trio is an avowed man
hater, and talks loudly of mans in
humanity to woman an the injustice
Of the inequality of ages. Her two
companions, for the sake of harmony
in the family, pretend to agree with
her. Because of her youth, her ut
terances are extremely laughable.
At the end of the first act, when
they all prepare to retire for the
night the fact is disclosed that they
are sadly in need of certain articles
of furniture known as beds, and are
forced to sleep lin turns) on a fold
ing bed, couch and Morris chair.
Suddenly young man rushes into the
room, slams the door behind him and
locks it. CONSERVATION reigns and
an explanation is demanded, but this
really is the funniest situation in the
play, and it cannot be described in a
few words; it must be seen to be ap-
preciated. The real man-hater of the
family proves her inconsistency and
lack of conviction by failing in love
with the intruder at first sight.
After two more acts of extremely
funny situations, the play ends in
good old orthodox fashion with all
the girls safely started on the road
to marimony, and everybody satis-
fled and happy. The production
supplied is remarkably Characters
tic in atmosphere and complete in
detail. The cast is composed of
prominent metropolitan players.

HAL CHASE MAKES GOOD

Here is what one expert said about
Chase since he took charge of the
team:
Hal Chase, the Californian, who is
now plotting the New York Highland
ers, has taken hold of his task with
the grip of real man and has carried
his burden as manager and player
like one. After the ousting of George
Stallings as guide, the Yankees rallied
to the banner of Chase and played a
faster game The promotion of Hal
has changed him. and he no longer is
the boyish fellow of a year ago, but is
now a much dignified young man, who
realizes the position he is i'm. Per-
haps with Chase at the helm and
faction eliminated i'm the Yankee team,
a better fight for the pennant can be
put up i'm 1911. The players are with
Chase, so 1t appears from the closing
games, and the old cause-rivalry t.
