OFFICIALS MUST SERVE
Supervisors OF Elections Opposed To
Manner In Which Judges And Clerks
Do Not Show Up Al Polls

That election officials appointed in
Anne Arundel county have got to
either serve or in formal way be ex-
cused by the Supervisors so that va
cancies will not develop at the polling
places on the day of election, is the
flqt-footed stand taken by the Anne
Arundel Board of Supervisors, which
met yesterday afternoon.
Under the law an election official
named and who has not already served
q full term, must serve or be ex-
cused Otherwise the law provides
that he shall be liable to a fine of
$500.
Prior to the recent primary election
the Anne Arundel board was compell
ed to hold several meetings to receive
excuses and wherever it was possible
the men were relieved from serving
when the circumstances warranted it.
In many instances, however, the
officials did not take the trouble to
notify the supervisors that they would
not be able to serve, and the result
was a grand scurrying around in sew
eral precincts of the county the morn
ing of election before the polls were
opened to find men that could be
named as substitutes by the chief
judges, as provided by law.
The Supervisors have now taken
the stand that hereafter men ap-
pointed and failing to serve at the
last minute without giving any
excuse, will have their names placed
in the hands of States Attorney
Green for prosecution.

NEW MANAGERS ARE SONS OF PRES
IDENT SMITH OF COUNTY COW.
MISSIONERS

A noteworthy business change in
Annapolis is the retirement yesterday
from the management of the Hotel
Maryland of Mr.. George I. Melvin,
who has leased his hotel property to
Messrs. j. Norman Smith and Lester
L. Smith. Messrs. Smith & Brother
took up the active management of the
hotel yesterday.
Sixteen years ago, on September !,
1894, Mr.. Melvin, in conjunction
with Col. Luther Fl. Gadd, now chief
deputy clerk of the Court of Appeals,
purchased the hotel, and in 1901,
Mr.. Melvin bought out Colonel Gadd's
interest. Although without previous
experience in the business, Messrs.
Gadd & Melvin, from the beginning,
by unremitting personal attention
and the exercise .of good judgment,
placed the hotel upon high plane of
success.
The property, at the junction of
Main and Duke of Gloucester streets
with Church street, has long been one
of the landmarks of the city. 1t
was erected in 1870 by the late Rob-
ert Fowler and after period of pros
perity. during which it was known as
a favcrite stopping place of public
officials and of transient visitors to
Annapolis, it passed through various
managerial hands, and became un-
profitable. The owners finally de-
cided to dispose of it, and Mr.. Mel
vim, recognizing its possibilities, and
believing in the rewards to be rea-
lized from proper policy of conduct.
acquired the property in partnership
with Colonel Gadd.

Mr.. Melvin had come to Annapolis
nine years before, and had bought
from the late George Cotton the Mary
land Republican printing plant and
Office building on Duke of Gloucester
street. At two sessions of the Cen
eral Assembly Mr.. Melvin was State
Printer. and in addition to editing
the Maryland Republican, he was in
terested in real estate. The begin
ming of suburban development in An
napolis dates from the establishment
of West Annapolis by Mr.. Melvin, an
enterprise to which he devoted much
energy, and paved the way for the
subsequent expansion of the city. He
also planned and developed Murray
Hill, now the finest residential section
of Annapolis.
Upon undertaking the work of the
Hotel Maryland in 1894, Mr.. Melvin
applied to the problems of its man
agement the same tireless energy ano
prudence which had marked his work
in other channels of endeavor, ano
month by month the income of the
business rose, and improvements in
the property, and in the service, were
made. The popularity of the hetel
with the naval contingent and will
other guests was speedily regained.
1t has kept pace with the growth OF
the years, and been noted for its
comfort and home-like surroundings.
A few years ago Mr.. Melvin was
instrumental in organizing the An
napolis Banking & Trust Company,
and the development of this enter
prise, and its increasing Importance
among the financial institutions Of
the State, have latterly claimed
much of his energy and attention
Finding it necessary to devote mors
and more of his time to the bank
Mr.. Melvin accepted a proposition
| from Messrs. Smith & Brother to lease
and turn over the active manage

CAPT. BOWER PLEASED
fhe Superintendent OF The Naval Acad.
emy Thinks Foreign Cruise A Sue
s-Pfaises All Hands

An order issued by Capt. j. NJ.
Bowyer, superintendent of the Naval
academy, commencing the officers
md midshipmen and also the enlisted
men on the recent midshipmen's prac-
ice cruise, was received at the Navy
Department, Washington, yesterday.
This order was heartily commended
~ Acting Secretary Winthrop and
Rear Admiral Nicholson, Chief of
Navigation.
All the midshipmen, except the
few detained at the Academy for
,ad conduct, have been granted a
months leave. and the department
authorities feel confident that the
good results will be apparent upon
heir return to the Academy for
the fall term. No cases of a disci-
binary nature have been referred to
The Navy Department following the
.ruise.
Most of the summer cruises here
tofore have been followed by rec
concentrations to Washington that
several midshipmen be disciplined or
dropped, especially was this true last
year, when several were dropped
for ''inaptitude" a word coined by
the superintendent and under which
many scalps have fallen. The mid
shipmen were equally pleased with
the cruise, which they find beneficial
in many ways.

A great physician once remarked that, despite It's complcxity. there was no organ of the body readler to adapt Itself to circumstances or more capa. ble of repaying ordinary care than the heart. This Is very true. and an ap- preciation of that fact should cause us all the more carefully to follow ths wise mans advice and to keep our heart with all diligence. When we have regard to the tremendous work the heart accomplishes We might well with Wesley say. Strange that harp of thousand strings should keep k tune so long" Estimated in scientific fashion, a mans heart in twenty -fout hours performs an amount of wur,; which if represented by the energy dr manded for a big lift would raise L., tons of weight one foot high. Such calculation can be accurately deter mined by measuring the force eXpcnd ed in one beat or cycle of movement of the heart and multiplying the shor; work into that of the day. Thus in Il, small degree does the hearts laho, contribute to swell the big total of the energy the human engine expends each day it lives.-New York World

 The hippopotamus is a sort of float ing island which inhabits the African rivers.

He is fat and dabby covered with reddish sktn adorned with bristles and has 9 broad, flat head as wide as a dnne} table. The mouth of the hippo is all other of natures African extrava gances. He has mouth enough to q, the eating for boys boarding school His jaws are very flexible, and those who have gazed into the inner worl.s of hippo when he has opened his vast pink lined mouth, studded hert and there with tusks that look like broken eff Grecian columns, have bec' impressed with the sight. - Collier Weekly.
