SUFFRAGISTS ENTERTAIN.
Give Afternoon Tea at Claude Apart
ments-First of a Series.

Under the auspices of the Just Gov
eminent League of Maryland. an after
noon tea was given yesterday from 4
| to O'Clock in the headquarters al
the Claude Apartments, State Circle.
The rooms which are attractive. are
| on the ground floor, and have a honey
cheerful, inviting appearance, were
made more attractive by especial dec
orations for the occasion. Tiny vel
low pennnats with the words "Vetes
for Women" in black-the MARYLAND
colors-were conspicuous in the deco
rations everywhere. The color
scheme was red and green, and beau
tiful poinsettias were the flowers
used with maidenhair fern.

Mrs. d. w. C. Redgrave, of Balti-

formerly resided at the Naval Acad-
emy, also assisted with her niece.
Miss JENNA d'Auria. There were a
number of callers, but not so many as
there probably would have been had
there not been a mistake in mailing
the invitations, many of which bore
the address of the gentlemen of the
family and did not include the lady,
as intended.
The invitations were mailed in Bal
timore and a number did not reach
persons for whom they were intended.
1t is proposed to give a series of these
teas, of which the one yesterday was
the first.

State House, spend no idle moments.
They are constantly working for
their cause.
Recently they have addressed let
ters to every Senator ana every
Delegate in the General Assembly.
and have received number of re-
plies. Many of the replies have been
favorable, and the majority favor
an unqualified bill, this being consist
ent with the theory of giving women
justice.
Some members of the Legislature
who have replied to the letters sent
by the Suffrage League, are non
committal, while a number have not
replied at all.
The work of the Woman Suffrage
League here is progressing encouring-
ly and the cause finds many sympa.

WANTS THE TOWN DRY"
Secretary Meyer Of the Navy Cor
responds With Anti.Saloon
Secretary to Protect the
Middies.

Remembering the fate of Bremen
ton and some other navy posts where
the saloons were a menace to the SER
vice, Secretary of the Navy Meyer has
been in correspondence with Superin-
tendent Anderson, of the Anti.Sa-
loon League, concerning the attitude
of the naval authorities on the sale
of liquor. A letter from Secretary
Meyer to Mr.. Anderson contains the
following:
"In the interest of the midshipmen
at the Naval Academy, would be
glad to see any reasonable plan adopt
ed by which the people of Anne
Arundel county will be enabled to
close the saloons of Annapolis.
''In this connection your attention
is invited to the fact that in some OF
the States laws have been enacted to
prevent the sale of Intoxicating
liquors within a certain distance, usu
ally one mile, from a military reser
walton, which has been of great as
sistance to the army authorities.
GA similar enactment of law in re
gard to the Naval Academy would
no doubt be productive of great gooC
in the way of preventing the sale Of
intoxicating liquors to the midship
men.

TO NAME POLICEMEN.
County Commissioners Will Probably
ReappOint Chief Irwin And Most
Of Patrolman.

Following what the grand jury of
the county had to say about their
management of the lookup and police
force of Brooklyn, in its report to
the Circuit Court on Saturday, the
County Commissioners of Anne Arun-
del will, this afternoon make ar
rangement of a chief of police and
the necessary patrolmen for the COM
ing year at the Fifth district town,
which was the scene of the lynch
ing of the negro King Johnson early
on the morning before Christmas.
1t is understood that Commissioner
Smith, from the Fifth district, who
is president of the Board is dis
posed to make some changes in the
present force, headed by Chief of
Police Thomas Irwin, but he is
not, it is said, welded to changes.
However, there is a likelihood that
there may be a change or two
among the patrolmen but there is
little possibility that Chief Irwin
will be removed.
The grand jury scored the Com
missioners severely for their manage
ment of the Jail as we'll as for the
supervision of the police force, and
it is not unlikely that some somewhat
stringent rules will be laid down by
the Board for observance by its ap.
pointees.

WANT LIGHT ON SUBJECT.
MAY the Light OF Wisdom IIIumine
Ways Of Woman's Civic League
Says Observer.
Communicated.

Dear Capital We have read in
your paper with much interest the
call for a formation of a Woman's s
Civic League, whose object shall be
the betterment Of the City Beauti-
fui.
1t is a worthy object and the call
should meet with generous re-
sponse.
To some of US is not given the-op-
portunity to respond to this call in
person, but we can all express our
approval of the movement and we can
all pray that light may be given to
illumine all the deliberations of the
members Of tn Civic League.
In this connection we hasten to
add that we in no way refer to the
illumination furnished by the An
napolis Gas and Electric Light Com
pany at sl.75 per THOUSAND.
Far be it from US to wish for
our most bitter enemy any such i'll
luck as to be turned adrift on the
perilous footing of the pavements
of the City Beautiful with no light
TO guide his feet more brilliant than
that furnished by the fluid which
pours through the mains of the
Annapolis Gas Light Company at
Sl.75 per thousand.
We make this statement without
any mental reservation and with full
knowledge Of the 25 per cent dis
count.
We refer entirely to the light of
wisdom which we hope will illumine
all the meetings of the W. C. l..
1t might, however, be interesting
and possibly instructive if paper
could be prepared and read at the
meeting, giving the comparative cost
of gas between this and other cities
in our land.
The subject. of quality need not be
touched upon-that is Incompatible.
A paper of this sort would furnish
considerable food for thought for all
well-wishers of the City Beautiful.

families who are waiting for food and
supplies on board the steamer and
twenty stores at West River are
