RUMOR VERIFIED.
New Allotment for Annapolis New
Street to be Opened-0ther I'm
DrOVements.

1t has been rumored for some days
that the property owned by the Re-
demptorist Fathers, situated at the
inter section of Duke of Gloucester and
Compromise streets, was to be sold.
This rumor has been verified and in
the course of few days the property
will be cut up and divided into forty
foot lots and placed on the market.
Gould & Lee, with Offices at No. 20
and % Church Circle, are doing the
developing. They have completed the
survey, and have planned a fifty-foot
street to run at right angles with
Duke of Gloucester street, Immediately
to the east of. the three dwelling
houses which were erected opposite
St. Mary's Church about three years
ago.
This street will be named St.
Mary's street, and will have a five-
foot sidewalk and a five-foot grass
plot on each side. On Compromise
street, facing the water, a small park
is to be laid out, and altogether
this allotment will be one of the
prettiest and most accessible proper
ties in the city.
Messrs. Gould & Lee are to be con-
graduated for their enterprise in de-
veloping this part of the city, for this
vacant property has long been more or
less unsightly, and now that they have
taken it in hand, it is only a question
of few months, at most, before it
will be beauty spot.

GAVE THEATRE PARTY.
Candidates Of Naval Academy Pre-
paratory School Entertained.

A large theatre party was given last
evening to the candidates of Professor
Werntz's Naval Academy Preparatory
School football squad. Miss Katharine
Alvey Taylor was the hostess.
The first FIVE rows in the orchestra
and portion of the sixth row were
reserved for the party at the Boyer
Theatre. There were between forty
and fifty in the party and they en-
Joyed an excellent performance of
vaudeville as we'll as four reels of
splendid pictures.
During the intermission the young
men through the courtesy of Miss
Taylor, were served candy and favors.
Each young man received a box of
candy and each one Christmas stock
ing filled with favors suggestive of
Christmas times. The boys enjoyed
this feature of the entertainment as
we'll as the performance.
While the gathering was one of
some two score of young men full of
youth and exuberant spirits, here was
no undue noise and they conducted
themselves with commendable de-
corum. Many people in the theatre did
not know there was a theatre party of
young men present until they all
filed out at the close the first per
formance.
Miss Taylor, who has some of the
candidates in her home, is always kind
and considerate of their welfare, and
those who are fortunate enough to be
admitted into this Christian home and
be watched over as their own mother
would, while studying far away from
home, are indeed lucky. The young
men last evening were most appre-
ciative of the entertainment given
them as an ante Christmas treat.

PLEADS JURY TRIAL.
DR.. Byerly's Case Goes Over Until the
Regular April Term of Circuit
Court.

After an Intellectual motion TO have
the warrants in his case quashed, in
which the Magistrate ruled that
waiver Of right to a jury trial
would have to be entered or reject
ed before he could take up such a
question, DR.. T. Watts Byerly.
through his attorney, Ogle Marbury.
this morning prayed a jury trial
when his hearing began before JUS
tice John N. Davis.
This puts the hearing of the case
against DR.. Byerly off until the reg
ular April term of the Circuit Court
for Anne Arundel county. The case
against DR.. Byerly was brought at
the instance of Dr.. j. Marshal Price,
secretary of the State Board of
Health, and charged that DR.. Byerly,
as physician at the Maryland House
of Correction, had been derelict in his
duty in not reporting promptly cases
of contagious diseases at the insti-
tuition.
In arguing his motion to quash the
warrants this morning, Mr.. Marbury
explained that DR.. Byerly's construc-
ton of the law regarding reports of
such cases to the county health board,
was that it did not apply in the
cases of such public institutions as
the House of Correction, which are
under the exclusive control of board
of managers. He cited from the law
showing that the reports were specifi-
cally excepted and the authority of
the secretary of the State Board of
Health is excluded in its application
to such institutions as the House of
Correction
DR.. Byerly was released for court
by Justice Davis under $4,000 bail
