ITS UP TO THE CITY
Chamber OF Commerce has Been Five
Months Endeavoring To Have Better
Gas

Investigation shows that the Cham
her of Commerce has been consider
ing the matter Of poor gas furnished
the city for the past five months.
At that time a committee composed
of Mr.. Clifton c. Moss. Mr.. George
C. Barton and Mr.. George I. Melvin
were appointed to wait on the city
authorities and ask them to unite with
the Chamber of Commerce TO urge
the matter of better quality gas and
reduced rates.
TIE committee also waited upon
the County Commissioners, comforting
with that body on the subject, and 1t
was decided that the three commit
tees act conjointly and take the mat
ter before the Public Utilities Com
mission.
Here the matter has rested, the
County Commissioners having ap-
pointed Commissioner Beard, of the
Second district, Commissioner Smith
and Commissioner Douw, of Annapo-
lis, committee TO represent the
county in the matter. 1t now ap-
pears TO be up to the city TO push the
matter and get results so far as bet
ter quality gas is concerned.
Yesterday a prominent local busi-
ness man and large taxpayer said to
a Capital staff representative that
the gas not only was as The Capital
had described it-spasmodic and fiuct-
uating in its light, but that it went
out entirely on occasions in his
store, and left the place in total
darkness
The question of the quality of
gas furnished the city and at no
reduction in price, is agitating the
minds of all consumers.

Former Sup rintendeni's Wife Is Being
Entertained Here
Mrs. Richard Wainwright, wife
of Admiral Wainwright, u. S. N.
former superintendent Of the Naval
Academy, is being entertained by
Mrs. Anne Burton Jeffers at her
home on King George street.
Mrs. Wainwright was one of the
founders of the Emergency Hospital.
1t was largely through her efforts
that the local hospital was establish
ed. She worked for it indefqtigably
when place to carry the sick and
injured was so much needed during the
years the building of the new Naval
Academy was in progress.
Mrs. Wainwright started the hos
pital in a lumber room granted for
the purpose. Her motto was Better
a cot, than a curb" for the sick and
disabled, and from this the local hos
pital grew. She induced the Class
Of 1902, Naval Academy, to endow a
room and had many old hair mattress
es given by the Academy TO the hos
pital. which were renovated and are
now in use there.
Had Mrs. Wainwright's husband
been superintendent a little longer,
she would have organized q Woman s
Civic League in Annapolis, and there
would today be q street sweeper, a
street sprinkler and tin covered boxes
nicely painted at corners to deposit
scraps Of paper and fruit parings in
instead of throwing them on the side
walks.
Mrs. Wainwright, who came for
the Cates-Randall wedding, is being
cordially greeted by host of friends
and citizens, among whom her name
is blessed.

charges with the Governor against

ers when he first went into office. but
being unsatisfactory TO the commit
tee his name was not included in the
list of our names sent in last March.
The Governor, as directed by law.
nominated one OF the four. but the
Senate failed 20 take any action on
the name. and the Republicans then
charged Senator Brady, the Demo.
cratic county representative, with
preventing firmatiOn.
The law pr vides that the incum-
bent shall serve until hjs successor
qualities. and the course construed
this 90 mean that the official serving
should continue in the event Of the
Senate's failure to confirm his success
sor. Hence. it was that Mr.. Russell
held over. II is charged by the coun-
ty committee that Mr. Russell's Judi
cial appointees are not proper repre-
sentative Of their party, and they
hold the supervisors responsible

Box Social Jolly Event

The BOX Social" held at the
Presbyterian church Friday night
by the Y. P. G. E. Society, was a
great success. There was a good
crowd present and every one en-
the evening. Two poor
men, w. P. Hays and Fred Clark,
were not fortunate enough to get
box and SO went s%upperless.
The general superstition is that
they were so popular that they
did not dare to share any lady,s
box for fear of making the rest of
them jealous. A nice sum was
realized, but not quite enough to
place the Society out of debt.

Otto And His Auto

IT'S strange how fashion makes us
change the objects we admire,
We used to sing the tireless steed,
but now the steedless tire.
So Otto bought an auto SO as not
to be antique
But the thing was autocratic as
well rs automatic
And the auto wouldn't auto as it
ought to, so to speak.
So Otto sought to auto on the auto
as he ought to
But the auto sought to auto as
Otto never thought to!
Then Otto he got hot, oh, very hot!
as he ought not to.
And Otto said, "This auto ought
to auto aud it's got tor
So Otto fought the auto and the
auto it fought Otto
Till the auto got too hot to auto as
it ought to
And then, Great Scott! that auto
shot to heaven-so did Otto
Where Otto's auto autos now as
Otto's auto ought to.
