AN ANNAPOLIS INCIDENT.

Il much annoyed by an occurrence which illus
trsted the snobbshness at the Naval Academy at
Annapolis
daughter of Professor Henry A. Beers, Of
Yale University, noted authority on literature,
was invited TO dance given by the cadets of the

Miss Beers was governess in the family of one
OF the officers 1t seems that she was a companion
or goyerness or whatever you may choose TO call
IT OF woman friend who had married one Of

The incident created big stir at Annapolis and
rightly So The President il is said directed that
an inquiry be made with the result that
the superintendent of the academy offered an
apology 10 Miss Beers and 10 her family. What
an actually absurd view the officer whovere he
was must have taken Of the matter when he
thought that a child of Professor Beers could not
associate with the STRIPPING Annapolis cadets. Con-
siderlng the question of good family il may
be safe to say that not one-third of the cadets be-
fore they went 10 Annapolis had the so-called
social position that Miss Beers would be entitled

The irish Potato.

Christian Science Monitor.
When the immensity of the worlds
annual consumption of white potatoes
is given serious thought it would
seem that Europe should be particu-
larly grateful to Sir Walter Raleigh
for introducing into ireland the
prolific vegetable that is now so prom
inent In the average dinner table.
Both England and Ireland have cause
to remember Sir Walters voyages Of
discovery. and the world still gives
notice to his famous act of gallantry;
hut the fact that he first brought TO
the Emerald isle the edible tuber
which bears. that countrys name is
given almost no attention, although
most historians agree that he should
have the credit for the performance.
Yet this English navigator. statesman
and courtier would seem unwittingly
to have robbed America Of laudable
distinction when he failed TO provide
that the useful root should attain in
ternational fame under some other
designation than that Of the "Trisn
potato"
Survival of the adopted name illus
trates Americas willingness to deal
generously with Ireland The potato
has played go prominent a part In
Celtic history of the last 800 years
that it makes small difference TO the
average consumer whether the plant
IS native or otherwise. Yet the So
called IRISH potato" probably grew
wild in the mountains of Central and
South America. and possibly in some
parts of Mexico and the southwestern
portion of North America, long before
it ever reached Europe. Sir Walter
is reported to have taken from North
Carolina and Virginia the specimens
