OUTPLAYED VIRGINIANS.
Although Figures Show St. Johns Was
Defeated, Local Cadets Played
Rest

Although the final figures were 6
to against them, st. Johns foot
ball players outplayed and virtually
defeated Virginia on the latter's
grounds at Charlottesville on Satur-
day. They returned to Annapolis
yesterday morning well satisfied with
their showing against the heaviest
team Virginia has put on the gridiron
in years.
The Charlottesville aggregation
struck real set of tartars, and the
best they could do was to score a sim
gle touchdown in nearly forty-five min
utes of play. To do this it took
twelve downs to make eight yards to
the St. Johnnies goal. This was ac-
complished by successfully fumbling
and recovering the leather to have a
first down called.
Virginia put up a sluggish game
from the start, and at no time during
the contest displayed the aggressive
ness shown in the game with Swarth-
more. In fact, the boys from Annap-
oils covered more ground by straight
football than did the Pennsylvanians
anu dppSdISu aiHhosl as SlTOIS on Jne
defensive.
Quarterback Melville did practically
all of the ground gaining for the
visitors. Behind splendid interfer-
ence, he more than once circled
Yirginia's ends for gains of from 10
to so yards. st. Johns was also
lucky with the on-side kick, fire.
quently recovering the ball for sub
stantial gains, due to the quickness
of their ends in getting down the
field.
The visiting boys also worked the
same trick as did Swarthmore last
week-a long forward pass to one of
the ends across the opposite side of
the field. Claude ran for nearly
forty yards before he was downed.

OH THAT WHISTLE !
A Long Loud And Never Ending Blast
Early Sunday Morning.

Sound sleepers and light sleepers,
and those who were awake, were
alarmed on Saturday night, or rather
early Sunday morning, by a long,
loud and never ending $50 it seemed)
whistle. The whistle began to do
business shortly before l o'clock
and kept its whistler on the job
for more than an hour.
Everybody was asking everybody else
what it was. Some thought it was
a steamer in distress, but upon inves-
tigation it appears to have been a
train in distress or rather a steam en-
CINE. The cylinder head of an engine
on the Short Line blew out and this
caused the whistle to blow continuous
ly until the trouble could be adjusted.
In the meantime some people al
most lost their religion, and on Sun
day morning. too, and the protracted
whistle got on everybody's nerves.

Encourage Amateurs.

Manager Rosenberg, of the Lyric
Moving Picture parlors, should be en-

have earned money and at the same
time hav helped to develop the talent
they may have for singing, recita-

One boy has earned enough to buy
himself suit of clothes. The money
is spent in the town, and nobody

Not so many years ago the adj

cars, each manned by "a manager and
twenty-five hillers Then there are

in the manner a scouting party Is
moved during time of war. They are
dispatched to locate the enemy

same territory-and secure advance
billing that their firm may be equally
represented with the opposition.
These brigades are also employed to

damaged by Indictment weather.

The press department is vital

Odd Juries.

The sheriff of a certain county in
England, being of a jocular turn OF
mind, quietly picked a jury of the
twelve latest men eligible for the pur-
pose-men so fat that when they ap-
peared in court and the time came
for them to take up their position in
the jury box it was found that but
nine of them could be accommodated
However, by Encouragement and
squeezing and amid the boisterous
laughter of the court they finally sue
ceeded in crowding into their allotted
quarters packed jury in the most
literal sense. Following this fat jury,
the same merry sheriff collected a
lean jury, thin enough to have been
accommodated in the jury box twice
over. At another time he gathered A

feat, a jury of twelve men who squint-

HOUSEHOLD SNAKES.
Goboias Are Used as Domestic Rat
catchers in Brazil.

In certain parts of Brazil, where the
climate is intensely hot and where
rats are great nuisance, the common
cat does not thrive, but is replaced by
a domestic rat catcher whose presence
causes decidedly unpleasant sensa-
ton to visitors from the north when
first they come in contact with the
|creatures.
Giboias are a species of small boa
constructors employed very generally
in Brazil for the purpose above men,
toned. They are not at all venomous.
They sleep in the house, generally
taking up their position at the foot of
the stairs. When nightfall approaches
they begin to wake up, and during the
night they slide swiftly about the
premises, looking for rats.
Giboias are offered for sale in the
markets of Bahia and Pernambuco for
prices ranging from 81 to IS. accord.

said that they are so easily domesti-
Gated that if removed from one house
to another they invariably return to
the house whence they have been
taken. Often when one is bargaining
with a broker for the sale or lease of
a residence in certain parts of Brazil
the broker will eXpatiate with great
eloquence upon the virtues and skill
of the giboia that goes with THAR
