STILL HAZING AT ACADEMY.
Plebes' Mistake Reveals Stunts to
Academy Authorities.

A hint was given to the authorities
of the Naval Academy that there is
still considerable hazing at the insti.
tuition when two members of the
fourth class, mistaking an inspection
offic er for an upper classman, prompt.
ly turned their faces to the wall when
he entered the room while OH a tour
of DUTY.
IL developed that plebes had been
instructed to turn to the wall imme-
diately when an upper classman en-
tered the room, so that they would
not be able to identify him. They
were then required to do various
stunts.
An investigation is on and it is
understood that the existence of con.
siderable hazing has been discovered,
but nothing of brutal nature.

NAVY SHAKES THEM UP.
Assemblies Very Heavy Rush Line as
Result of Shifts.

Big changes were made in the
lineup of the Naval Academy team
yesterday afternoon, there being
shifts in both the line and backfeId.
The most decided change was that
of Ingram, who had played centre
part of last season and most of this,
to the back field. He went to quar-
terback. The line yesterday was one
of the heaviest and strongest the
D,idshipmen have had.
Walker, strong plebe, took In
grams place at centre, and he was
fiunked by Brown and Howe. Redman

Overesch, who has been out of the
game for two weeks, and the vet
eran Gilchrist were at the ends. This

Leaving SO votes to
be divided between Taft and Roosevelt.
1t is also predicted by numerous polls
that the Democrats will have a large
majority in the House of Represen-
tatives, and this should be borne in
mind by the Democrats of this Con-
gressional district, who should leave
nothing undone to elect the Hon.
Frank o. Smith, Democrat, from our
district. This district has been so
long without Democratic Represen-
tative, that il would be pity to have
Democratic President and both
branches of Congress and have our
representative in the minority party,
and consequently of little use 20 his

Many Democrats are now predict
ing that Mr. Smith will, along with
other Democratic candidates, win by
handsome majority and that Mary

egation in Congress, the first time
since eighteen hundred and ninety
two.

and thereby hangs a tale.
On Saturday ISL people took lunch
con at Carvel Hall and among them
was Miss Kelley, daughter of the
manager of Hotel Emerson, Balti-
more. While in the lavatory of
Carvel Hall. Miss Kelley took off a
handsome diamond and emerald ring
valued at 81, 200 to wash her hands.
She was one of an automobile party
and as her friends were calling to her
to hurry up" she left the wash room
and the ring, forgetting the valuable
jewel. Scarcely had she been seated
in the automobile when she remem-
hered the ring. AMI quick as a flash
the car was driven to the fashionable
hostelry. Miss Kelley went directly
to the wash room where she had left
the ring, but it had disappeared.
Immediately Carvel Hall managers

When Mr.. Seeley, one of the man

pasteboard box nearly the size of a
shoe box, addressed to the Manager

often come with forgotten keys, Mr..
Seeley thought some weekend guest
had gone away and forgotten the room
key and was returning it. But no.
Inside of a couple of dozen sheets of
tissue paper was lady's white chiffon
veil. One end was attached to a tiny
doll in tube much like those CT the

OF course. the thing to do was to
pull the veil, but Mr.. Seeley won.

NEWS SERVICE IN AFRICA
Rapid Transmission Of Information
Among Natives Is Mystery
to the White Man.

The rapid transmission of news
among Kaflirs and Hottcntots is a
mystery which even Mr.. Rider Hag-
gard is unable to solve. Mr.. Hag-
gard was at Pretoria in 1879, at the
time of the battle Of Isandhlwana.
Twelve hours after the disaster an
old Hottcntot washcrwoman told
him that Cetewayo had defeated the
British troops, and gave details Of
the fight. So impressed was Mr..
Haggard that he reported the infor-
nation to his official superior.
The British official pointed out
that it was impossible for the news
to be true, as lsandhlwana was 1872
miles from Pretoria, and no tele-
graphic or railway communication
existed between the two places. On
the following day official conGrma-
ton of the disaster was brought by
mounted messengers, who were dis
patched Immediately after the battle
and travelled at top speed all the way.
Yet the natives won by 90 hours, and
The washcrwoman's story was true

GREAT FEATS OF ARCHERY
Indians Could Send Arrow Through
Buffao's Body, but Ancient Arch
ers Surpassed That

In the days when the buffalo was
! found in vast herds on the western
plains, there were Indians who, while
riding at a gallop, could send an ar
row through buffalo's body. Re-
markable as this archery was, yet it
did not equal that reached by the
archers of ancient times.
1t is of record that the MacRaes
of Gairlock, Scotland, were such
skillful archers that they could hit
a mat at the distance Of 500 yards.
In 1894 the Turkish ambassador at
London shot an arrow, in field near
that capital, 415 yards against the
wind and 482 yards with the wind.
The secretary of the ambassador, on
hearing the expressions Of surprise
from the English gentlemen present,
said the sultan had shot 500 yards.
This was the greatest performance of
modern days, but pillar, standing
on plain near Constantinople, re-
corded shots ranging up to 800 yards.
Sir Robert Ainslic, British ambassa-
dor to the Sublime Porte, records
that in 1898 he was present when the
sultan shot an arrow 912 yards.
