DRIVER IRRESPONSIBLE.
Horse and Wagon Of COuntrYman Taken
in Charge BY S. P. c. A. AGENT.

Agent O'Leary, of the S. P. C. A,
is always ION the job to use a
popular phrase. Not only has he an
eye single for violations of rules
and the humane laws by city drivers,
but he is looking out for country
teams, as well.
Yesterday a team of fine horses
driven to a wagon owned by Mr..
Aaron Jones, of Birdsville, this
county, and driven by colored man
named Duvall, was under surveillance
of Agent O'Leary for some time. The
S. P. C. A. agent noticed the driver
was irres ponsible and was driving
about town in a reckless fashion.
The team was taken in charge by
Agent O'Leary and put into Doves
livery stable, while the driver was
told to take care of himself. The
owner of he team was notified and
Thanked the Agent. Mr.. Jones. the
owner, later came in for his team
and paidsthe cost of its keep at Dove 5.

FROM DIXIE LAND.
Miss Williams to Give Hospital Benefit
at Mcdowell Hall Tuesday Night.

There is no doubt that Miss Louise
Williams, of Georgia, the imperso-
nator of Southern folklore will be
greeted by a large and fashionable
audience at Mcdowell Hall, St. John 5
College, on Tuesday night, when she
gives a benefit for the Emergency
Hospital.
The fame of Miss Williams has pre-
coded her, and those who hear her
Tuesday night cannot fail to be i'm
pressed with her charm and talented
portrayal of 'befo de wah" times in
Dixie Land. Miss Williams possesses
the ability of the artist in her portray
ais of the old negro characters and cas-
lily carries her audience amidst the
log cabin scenes, camp-meeting cere-
monies and ghost stories of the South.
The plaintive melodies introduced
with some of her stories are full of
wierd quaint scenes. As her stories
change from pathos to humor, there
is a mingling of tears and laughter all
through the evening. Tickets are for
sale by the patronesses and seats may
be engaged at Carvel Hall

Aletheia VIII Give an Exhibition at

Tomorrow afternoon at $50 O'Clock,
Aletheia, who has been giving won
ierful exhibitions of her psychic
powers at the Colonial Theatre this
week, will give an exhibition for wo-
men only, after the show.
No men will be admitted after the
show, and women will have it all
to themselves. Nine. Aletheia rs
marvel. She is we'll worth seeing
and hearing, and the townswomen
who have not seen and heard the mar
velous demonstrations of thought
transmission, should not fail to attend
the performance in the Colonial Thea
the tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
Nine. Aletheia is refined, cultured
and possessed of a strong, personal
magnetism. She is altogether a de-
lightful woman and charming to q
high degree aside from her marvellous
gifts and attainments along psychic
lines. The opportunity to see and
hear her again may never arise and
women who miss the opportunity to-
morrow afternoon will probably re-
greet it.

Receipts Of Benefit.

Miss McNasby has given out that
the receipts from tickets sold last
week for the Colonial Theatre OF
which ten percent. was given for a
benefit to the Society for Protection
of Children from Cruelty and Immo-

This is considered very good, consid-
ering the odds that were encountered
in selling tickets, and that on Monday
night, when Lyman Howe's show was
at the Colonial Theatre there was no
benefit from the sale of tickets that
night. The Society has interested
Annapolis members and is doing a
good work.

ARMORY BILL SAFE
Every indication Points TO Passage
of Senator Bells Measure
for Annapolis Building.

Not Unlikely That When Reported
Favorably Measure viii be Amend
ed for This Purpose.

A large. modernly equipped and in
every way up to date armory for the

MARYLAND National Guard, located in
some central place in Annapolis, seems
assured from what appears to be the
attitude of the Senate Finance Com
mittee toward Senator BELLS bill
calling for an appropriation of S25,
600 for this purpose.
Adjutant General Charles F. Mack
lin, who was before the Finance Com
mittee this morning, is enthusiastic
over the plan. and has given II his
hearty support. In addition TO this
endorsement from the head of the
State militia, the Finance Committed
yesterday heard strong endorsement
of the Bells bill and urgent pleas fol-
the appropriation from a delegation,
including Mayor James F. Strange,
Capt. Louis b. Myers, of Company
NJ: Major Hugh r. Riley of the First
Infantry; Lieut.. Daniel j. Murphy
of Company NJ; Chief Clerk Harry
J. Hopkins. of the Comptroller's office
and others.
The Finance Committee seemed
favorably impressed and there i:
every indication that the bill will b,
reported favorably in a day or tive
with amendments increasing thu
amount for the building, but extending
its payment over a period of two o.
possibly three years. This would no
in any way interfere with the begin
ming of the work, however.

THE PRACTICE CRUISE.
Plans for the Summer Fleet Of the
MidShipmen.

The naval authorities have under
consideration the plans for the Naval
Academy practice cruise for this COM
ing summer.
One proposition is to distribute the
mem 5ers of the first, second and third
classes among the ships of the Allan
tic fleet, with some twenty-five or
thirty midshipmen on each vessel. 1t
will be difficult TO form another pracN
tice squadron, such as was organized
last year, because there are not enough
enlisted men to place such additional
vessels in commission.
There is a difference of opinion
among the naval officers who have to
do with this subject concerning the
proposition. Some officers believe it
would be a desirable thing to distrib-
ute the midshipmen among the ships
of the Atlantic feet, since in that way
they would come into direct contact
with navy work under practical condi-
| tions at sea.
On the other hand, it is pointed out
that it would not be desirable to sep
arate the members of the three classes
in this way. OF course the midship-
men on the various ships of the feet
would still be under instruction and
be constantly under the observation of
officers of the Naval Academy. At
the same time it is apprehended that
there would be less benefit derived
both in instruction and in a disciple
nary way by break in the organiza-
ton under the conditions prevailing
with practice squadron for the mid
shipmen.
The summer cruise has simply been
a transfer of the Naval Academy from
Annapolis to the sea. 1t becomes in
all respects floating institution. The
subject is receiving careful consider
alton at the Navy Department.
