A SECOND CLASS HOP
First Class Middies Conspicuous By
Their Absence At Christmas Eve
Dance Al The Naval Academy

1t was strictly second class hop
that Christmas-eve hop at the Ma
val Academy Saturday night. The
first class Midshipmen were conspicu-
Gus by their absence, and scarcely a
half dozen, of the more than two hun
dred were present at the dance.
The hop was, therefore, unusually
small, but delightfully."- comfortable.
Mrs. Berrien, wife Of Lieu. Frank
d. Berrien, U. S. N, head coach of
the football team, received with
Midshipman William H. O'Brien, of
Indiana, a member of the first class.
Mrs. Berrien was simply, but hand.
somely gowned in pink silk veiled
with pink pointed spirit, with gar
niture of crystal. She CARED an arm
full of American Beauty roses.
The orchestra of the Naval Academy
band furnished music, and there were
twenty-five dances, and four extras.
A number of pretty young girls
from the Naval Academy and town
were present and a smaller number
tnan usual from Baltimore, Washing.
ton and other nearby cities, owing,
perhaps, to the sentiment attached tc
staying at home for Christmas Eve
and Christmas Day.
The gowns were dainty and pretty,
and there was variety of color
ing and style. While the hop wa:
a second class hop, because the first
class had gone on leave for Christ
mas, it must not be thought thai
it was second class" in any othel
respect, for it was very pretty
and an altogether attractive dance
and being smaller hop than usual
dancing was decidedly more com
Portable.

WHO IS THE FIREBUG ?
Excelsior Found Saturated With Kerosene
After Christmas Morning Fires

That Annapolis has a firebug in
its midst seems a self-evident fact.
On Christmas morning at 5 o'clock
a half hour after the fire in the stable
at Randall Place, fire was discovered
in the wagon shed of Strauss Bros,
1.-The Fashion," next to the resi-
dence of Mr.. j. C. Boessel, Prince
George street. Mr.. Strauss loss was
about SIS. The wagon was burned on
the bottom and front.
After the fire Mr.. Strauss found
some excelsior in the wagon saturated
with kerosene. and it is believed the
same firebug fired both stable.
Two strange men were seen shortl y
before the fire in the vicinity, and a
close watch is kept by the police
authorities.

THE POOR REMEMBERED
Guild OF Mercy Representatives Visit
County Home Christmas Day-The
Inmates Pleased

Since the Good Book tells US God
Lovetb a Cheerful Giver," God must
love all those who, out of the good
ness Of their hearts gave so cheer
fully and freely to the Christmas
cheer at the County Home.
On Christmas morning represen
tatiVes of the Guild Of Mercy took
ten-mile drive to the County
Home on South River, and arriving
there distributed the presents. All
who gave so generously would have
been amply repaid could they have
seen the gratitude and heard the
thanks expressed for the gifts sent
them from a charitable Annapolis
public.
Of course it is known, and generally
understood, these people are housed
and fed and are kept comfortably
warm and clothed, but it cannot be eX-
pected that the county, whose wards
they are, and upon whose charity
they depend, can afford to give them
luxuries. The gifts for Christmas
purchased with the money donated to
the Guild of Mercy by generous citi-
zens, are luxuries, and it is Christ
mas cheer and the spirit of Christmas
that the Guild takes to these unfortu-
mates without home or friends, that
once a year brings them in touch
with the outside world.
On Sunday every man and woman
white and colored, received his own
package, and all were made glad
and grateful. In the white mems
department were nine old men, some
almost helpless, one paralyzed and
unable to move save with the as
sistance of others. Each man was
given a package of little gifts for
his personal use, besides tobacco, a
pipe, chewing tobacco, candy,
nuts, raisins, apples, oranges, ba-
nanas, dates, figs and the men were
taken several games to amuse them
selves and help pass the time.
In the hospital ward were three
white men, two whom are quite sick,
Mr., Jones and Mr.. Lamb, of An
napolis, both old and feeble. Mr.
Jones is in a critical condition. The
two sick men are being cared for by
Mr. Hammond, an inmate of the
Home. who is able to look after the
sick.
The colored department was warm,
clean and comfortable. Here the old
men and old women sat around a
cheerful fire, and each received Ntheir
gifts most gratefully. Deed" said
an old toothless, white-haired "aunty"
of befo-de-wah" times, Deed,
missy, youse too good ter me; Ise
neber libed to expect to git so much
fer Christmas in my life," and she
must be nearly hundred.
All the inmates speak in the high.
est praise of Keeper Lewis, of the
County Home, and his wife, who care
for them so well. 1t was a happy
Christmas to these poor. friendless
ones, and generous Annapolis public
will be always blest for their kind
ness in making these unfortunates
happy on Christmas Day.

THE EMPTY STOCKING CLUB
Grateful For Gifts-NearIv 800 Child
rem Made Happy

The members of the Empty Stock
ing Club extend warm and hearty
thanks to all those who sent contri
buttons for Santa Claus to distribute.
They want particularly to thank the
children who brought their toys and
books, and the editors of The Capt.
tai for space in the paper. They
were able to send something to two
hundred and seventy-fve children,
eighty of whom belonged to Mr..
Holt's Mission School on Northwest
street. Mr.. Holt and his helpers
wished US to express their apprecia-
tion and gratitude. The illness in
Eastport and in various homes, and
the unusually severe winter has
given Santa Claus a great deal to do
this year. Our cordial thanks for
such hearty support.

The Lesterville Ledger last week
published very interesting letter
which Editor Killion received from
R. O. Richards no later than De-
cember %, 1909. This was less
than two months before Richards
assumed. the management of the
Vessey campaign. Below are a
few of the interesting paragraphs
in the letter
Gov. Vessey will not, and dares
not openly cut loose from the Gam
BILE, Crawford and Elliott combina-
tion who created him and which is
now the new railroad machine. If
Thorson's views and altitude are
firm in keeping the railroads out
of politics, correcting the personal
spoils system, holding state expen-
ditures within state revenues and
completing the primary law i am.
in favor of urging him or any 9th.
er suitable person as a compro-
mise candidate later on when it
will become apparent that Vessey
cannot win. To force two years
executive incapacity on the pro-
gressive movement in attempting
to continue Vessey, is certain of
defeat. ***Besides, the railroads are
getting back into the political sad
die again through Gamble and El-
liott-Cra @ford playing the Barkis
and Vessey a mere tool of these
men who created him. The peo-
will smash the new machine if a
ticket is put up in which they have
confidence.
Yes, we believe the people will
smash this new machine which is
so strongly condemned by the very
man who is now trying to operate
it, for ticket has been put up in
which they have confidence and it
is headed by Burke and Martin for
congress and Sam Elrod for gov
ernor.

The progressives are growing
weary intrying to defend the nu-
merous Inconsistencies Of r. o.
Richards and are trying to get
from under by saying that Rich
ards is not an issue in the cam
paign. But is this true? Mr.. Rich
ards demanded of the progressive
convention that his platform should
be adopted, one plank of which
provided that the state central
committee should be given the
privilege of debating all appoint
ments. He also demanded that he
should be maze chairman of that
committee. Both of these de-
mands were granted. This places
Mr.. Richards where in case the
progressives win he can practically
control the appointments, and he
is therefore pretty big issue In
this campaign.

A boiler plate article appearing
in the insurgent papers gives a list
of some of the laws enacted by the
last two legislatures and for which
the insurgents claim great credit.
Some of the laws are good and
were passed by unanimous vote,
stalwarts and democrats as we'll as
insurgents supporting them.
Among the list given are an anti
pass lava good thing for the
railroad companies and just what
they wanted.
An anti-lobby law-which al
ways has and always will be dead
letter.
A 2-cent rate law. Three years
ago they passed a 2a.cent law, a
year ago they passed a 2-cent law
and we are still paying three cents
in spite of both laws.
A law requiring railroads to pay
taxes on terminals something they
always did do, but formerly the
terminals were put into the genera
valuation and tax was paid pre
rata on the mileage while now tht
towns get it all.
A primary election law-result
ing in the most complete machine
control of political conditions evel
known.

No, Mr.. Reader, the above is

"A law prohibiting the corrupting
of voters. We have always had
such laws but nothing but a law Of
nature can prohibit it.
A law to reduce freight and ex-
press rates yet neither have been
reduced and express rates are high
or than they were before.
An antitrust law omething we
have had for years yet trusts con-
tinue to thrive.
A rigid divorce passed by q

A railroad liability law probab-
" meaning the employers liability
law which the courts have just
declared unconstitutional.
A law cutting down legislative
expenses. Known to be farce
when il was enacted as each ses-
sion Of the Legislature has the right
to make its own laws in this re-
Espect. And it is noticeable that
the law wasn't passed in time to
affect the expenses of the last legis-
lature.
A law regulating express COM
panies-which they told us was to
reduce express rates 20 per cent,
but which the courts say doesn't
do anything of the kind.
The strongest banking law in the
union. Does this refer to the bank
guaranty law which they promised
in their platform, and then passed
an act leaving it optional with the
banks to do as they pleased?
The article says the progressives
are against the spoils system, yet
they have practiced it to a degree
never before known in the state.
They say they favor publications
Of insurance statements among all
legal newspapers, yet O. s. Bas-
ford, the insurance commissioner,
has invariably used his skill as a
spokesman in placing them where
they would do the most good for
hissfaction. And Boss Richards is
now notifying the publishers TO

DAVE RYAN FOR
STATE TREASURER

A good public official is ever a
;commedable citizen and worthy of
continued trust. Such an official
is David M. Ryan, the democratic
candidate for state treasurer. The
Star in this issue publishes this
sterling democrats card and re-
quest for public support. For the
past three terms Mr.. Ryan has
discharged in a scupulous and
efficient manner the duties of this
responsible Office. His ability and
integrity is recognized throughout
Nevada. No one can dispute the
fact that he had been one of the
best state officials that Nevada has
ever had.
AS business man and large tax
payer he has established reputa-
ton for honesty and integrity
equal to the best of them in
Nevada. .'- 49,. .. ~
For thirty-seven he has
been an active resident of this
state and a prominent leade in
those affairs privately and public
]y, that aimed for the up-building
Of the best interests Of Nevada.
AS an employee and as an en-
ployer of labor Dave Ryan of
Virginia City has been fair. AS a
union man he had the confidence
Of his fellows, and as an employer
of labor in commercial and In
mining pursuits he has ever had
the respect of the workers, always
pulling true to the eight-hour
workday anG the anion scale of
wages.
In politics Dave Ryan has ever
been democrat of the storm and
sunshine sort; in business affairs
he has no superior; in mining
undertakings and the development
of the states resources he has ever
been in the forefront; as a public
