THE RECTOR'S BIRTHDAY
DR.. Joseph P. McComas Is Two Score
And 0ne-Rector Of St. Anne's
For IL Years Sketch of
His Career

Today the Rector of St. Anne's,
the Rev. DR.. Joseph Patton Nc
Comas, celebrated his forty-first
birthday, and received the congratu-
lations of many of his friends and
parishioners.
The Rector observed the day in
a quiet manner at the Rectory un-
til this afternoon, when he perform
ed wedding ceremony and left inn
mediately for Western Maryland to
join his family and the family of his
father at their cottage in the noun
tains at Blue Ridge Summit, where
a dinner party will be given tonight
in honorof the Rector's birthday.
Mr.. McComas was born at Hagers-
town on September 10. 1870. He is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry A. Nc
Comas, of Hagerstown. He received
his early education at the schools of
his native county and from private
tutors and later matriculated at Dick
inson College, from which he was
graduated with honor and took the de-
gree of Master of Arts. He later
studied law at Hagerstown and was
that city and county.
Having ambition for the clergy,
Mr.. McComas entered the General
Theological Seminary of New York
and studied divinity, and was gradu-
ated as clergyman of the Episcopal
Church. His only work in the minis
try has been that at St. Anne's
Church, where he came sixteen years
ago as an assistant to the Rector of
st. Anne's, at that time the Rev. DR..
w. S. Southgate. This was in July,
1895, and in July, 1899, four years
later, he became Rector of ST. Anne's
upon the death of DR.. Southgate.
DR.. McComas received the degree
of Doctor of Divinity from St. Johns
College, this city. His work in the
ministry has been most successful.
He is a close student and is a good
sermonizer. DR.. McComas is much
travelled. Not long since he toured
the Holy Land, and has toured .Eu-
rope on several occasions.
Personally DR.. McComas is a man
of strong magnetism, and is admired
by all who know him. He is without
prejudice or bias, and at all times
abides by the strength of his convic-
tions. DR.. McComas is a Lord Ches-
terfield in his manners. Never was
he known to forget the smallest cour-
tesies due others, even for a moment,
no matter what their station in life.
He is living example of morals and
good manners for every young man
in this community.
DR.. McComas has done splendid
work in st. Anne's Parish, and is be-
loved by his parishioners. For so
Young a clergyman, the ministerial
work of DR.. McComas measures up
with that of any clergyman in the
country.

CRUISE IN SOUTHERN WATERS
Visit of Atlantic Fleet to The Metiter-
ranean During Winter Favored In
Navy Circles

The Atlantic fleet in all probability
will cruise in the Mediterranean Sea
during the approaching fall and win
ter. The subject is now under consid-
GRAFTON by the Navy Department,
several alternate voyages being in
mind, ard the final conclusion Of the
matter awaits the return of Secretary
Meyer from abroad.
The Mediterranean cruise seems to
receive the greatest favor and, if
Secretary Meyer follows the judgment
Of the naval officers, the battleships
will pay calls of courtesy 10 all the
counties of Southern Europe whose
shores are washed by the Mediter-
ranean. The fleet will sail about Oc-
tobe 10, remaining in foreign waters
several months. 1t will then be as
sembled at Guantanamo, Cuba, for
cruising and maneuver exercises,
which will last until March.
Last winter the entire feet visited
the English channel, calling at ports
of Great Britain and France, while
during the spring the second division
of the fleet cruIsed in the Baltic sea,
touching at the ports of Germany,
Russia, Sweden and Denmark. These
visits, it is pointed out, are fresh in
the minds of the people of northern
Europe, as well as the personnel of
the American navy. 1t has been
some time since the big fleet of the
United States was seen in the Medi-
terranean, and as that part of the
world offers an ideal place for a win
ter cruise it is believed that that will
be the itinerary of the ships.
One thing, at least, is certain,
according to the naval officers, and
that is that the fleet will not make a
voyage around the world. No such
trip is in contemplation for this year
or any other so far as plans have
been made. By the cruise which
encirced the globe three years ago,
the United States navy, it is said,
showed that the feat could be per-
formed. Nothing would be accom-
plished by its repetition at this time.
AS a matter of fact, it would lay
out all the navy yards of the country
by depriving them of the vessels
which afford them work.

LAST YEARS CAPTAIN HERE
Navy Ready For Return Of Football
Squard Monday "Scotty" Nc
Masters Arrives

Henry S. Mex. Clay, captain of last
years Naval Academy football team
at the beginning of the season. and
one of the steadiest halfbacks the
Academy team has had for years, ar
rived in Annapolis today, and will as
sist Head Coach Douglas Howard in
handling the football candidates.
Midshipman C. q. Wright, acting
captain of the team, the latter part of
the year, has already arrived, and En-
sign Jonas Ingram and Mr.. Frank
Wheaton, the latter the field coach,
will be here during the week, thus
completing the regular coaching staff
and making everything in readiness
for the arrival of the big squad on
Monday.
Trainer McMasters is also here and
he may be expected to render his
usual valuable services in keeping
the team in fine physical condition
and caring for any injuries which
may be received in practice or
matches.
While so far there are no indications
of any stars in the new class, and men
of the calibre of Brown and Gilchrist,
such as were yielded by the entering
class last year, are not likely, still
the new class has a lot of material
which may be developed into good
substitutes this year, and will likely
be strong men on the teams of future
years.
The members of the regular squad
will arrive Monday morning, and will
be on the field during the afternoon
with the additions from the new class.
Prof. c. V. Cusachs will coach the
fourth class team, assisted by Mid
shipman H. w. Boynton.

AND MARYLAND GAZETTE
TO DEVELOP FAST TEAM
St. Johns to Have Husky Football
Squad And Renew Relations With
Washington College This
Year

While it is not yet certain how
much material St. Johns will have
for its football team this fall. there
Is every indication that a fast team
Will be developed, and there are also
indications of more weight than in re-
cent years.
1t IS certain that the season will be
started with an excellent spirit, and
the members of the squad are all
imbued with an intense desire to make
up strong team and win such honors
as have been carried by St. Johns
elevens in the past.
Il A suad of twelve or fourteen gath
cred yesterday afternoon and the can
dldates were instructed by Mr.. Ros-
coe Z. Grove, who will be head coach
TINS year, Lieutenant Fisher and
NGaptain White. There will be prac-
tice again this afternoon, and the full
squad is expected tomorrow after
noon, as the college will then have
begun its regular session.
While the schedule as a whole is
an excellent one, the hopes of St
Johns will be centered upon the game
against Hopkins and Washington
College, which will be played in Bal
timore on November IS and 25. re-
spectively. 1t is felt on all sides that
this is the year that st. John must
reverse the showing of the last two
seasons and win an old-time victory
against Johns Hopkins.
Z Friends of the college are also clad
that athletic relations have been re-
newed with Washington College. The
game will be played in Baltimore, and
1T is felt that it is of paramount
necessity for st. Johns to win the first
game after lapse of number of sea-
sons. Washington has never won at
football from st. Johns, but there is
no doubt that the Eastern Shoremen
have improved greatly in the last two
years. and St. Johns cannot regard
the game as an easy proposition.
The college contingent was greatly
delighted by the appearance of Mel
Ion, former back at st. Johns. who
has determined to re-enter the college.
Mellon has increased greatly in weight
tipping the scale at 1872 pounds.
whereas he formerly weighed in the
neighborhood of $50 pounds. AS he
was always a hard, fast back, his
added weight is expected to give him
all that is needful to make him a
player of the first order.
Annapolis is likely to furnish large
portion of the team this season,
Woodward, Welch, Clayton, Thomp-
sn, Clark, B. White and others having
every prospect of making places reg
ularly. AS White, the captain, is an
Anne Arundel county youth, there
will be even strong local interest
than ever in the success of the St.
John's eleven.

COFFEE JOINS SUGAR IN RISE
Another Advance In Sweetener Is
Looked For This Week

Retailers have advanced the prices
of sugar 90 : and z 1-2 cents a pound.
IL is not unlikely another advance of
one-half cent may be made this week,
bringing the price of granulated to
: l-2 OF s cents pound.
This level has not prevailed for a
generation and housekeepers are Won
dering when the end will come. The
wholesalers and refners promise no
immediate relief. They continue to
report o worldwide scarcity of raw
supply.
Consumers were not prepared for
the existing price, as had been fore
cast by the leading retailers a week
ago
Coffee is another table commodity
which is soaring as rapidly as sugar.
IL now sells at the highest prices
IN recent years. The grades of San
