men, commissions of the respective
positions they hold in the regiment.

ate salutation telling of the conf
dence reposed in the recipients by
their appointment as cadet officers,
and bearing the signatures of the

doubtedly, will be cherished by the
midshipmen. The parchments are
about 10xI6 inches in size, and are
printed in type of both script and old
English
At the top the words United
States of America, Naval Academy"
in old English, surround a small, but
very legible half-tone cut of the latest
type of dreadnaught battleship of the
Navy. The Naval Academy crest,
embossed, appears at the bottom and
to the left corner of che commissions.

CARING FOR POOR IS
COSTLY TO COUNTY
Report Shows Expense Of Main
tainance at the Home.
FOURTEEN INMATES THERE.
And Bill for September is Average. Of
$l5.4 Per Capita Funds for
the School Board.

That the average expense borne by
the county in running the Count y
Home is Sl5.43 per capita, is CLEANED
from the monthly report of Mr.. j..
Grant Calhoun, secretary cf the
board of trustees, which was filed
with the County Commissioners at
their meeting yesterday.
The report shows that there are
now ID inmates at the institdtion,
and the total expense account amounts
to $214.84. This includes the salary
and incidental expense of the keeper
of the Home, which for September
amounted to s55.95. So, by dividing
the total amount by Ia, it is found
that $15.34 was required to care for
each inmate during September. The
bills presented included groceries and
other provisions. OF the ID inmates,
8 are white and coloreJ.
The Board yesterday adopted an or
der providing that $6, ,39C95 be paid
to the County School Commission
ers. This amount represents the
quarterly payment by the county
out of the tax levy for general main
tenance purposes. Last week the
Commissioners paid to the School
Board about S2,1 representing a
balance due on the quarterly pay
ment of 49, towards the payment
cf the salaries of teachers.
Because trafic through the South
River bridge will continue very heavy
during October, incident to shipments
being made by the farmers of that
vicinity, the Board, in response to an
inquiry from the bridge-keeper, de-
cided to allow the keeper, thu higher
salary of $40 for his services during
the month.
John II. Weldon, the newly appoint
ed warden of the county Jail, is to be
paid $45 as watchman over the pris-
oners at this term of Court, in accord
ance with an order passed by the
Board.
Upon request the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company was
granted permission to erect twenty
three poles on the road from River
view to Davidsonville, and three poles
on the Taylorsville road, upon pay
ment of the usual pole tax.
A large number of bills was
passed in the course of the meeting.

BEAUTIFUL HATS.
Stylish Millinery Shown at Miss ljams
HardistY's Fall Opening To
day and Tomorrow.

Amid cosmos and dahlias, heather
and golden rod, palms and ferns, hats,
beautiful hats were on display today
at the millinery parlors of Miss Har-
desty, Main street, over F. A. Nun
roe's store.
The attractive surroundings added
effectively as a setting for the hand
some creations in autumn millinery.
There were hats of all kinds. The
tailOr-made hat was shown in large
numbers. and hat for walking suits,
shopping, travelling, etc. The tail
ored woman of these days is promi-
nent and so are her hats. Close,
snugly fitting hats were shown in vel
vets and velours, plush and felt and
are useful and chic.
No willow plumes are seen. They
seem to have died of too much popu-
larity. Instead beautiful, graceful
ostrich feathers are used on the brims
and under the brims in fetching and
coquettish adjustment.
Miss Hardisty's hats showed little
trimming. The material is handsome,
and, like large, elegantly built hall,
there is little room or need for dec
orations. A beautiful hat, "Sensa-
ton" shape, was shown in black vel
vet, large shape with facing of white
and handsome black plume curled
on the brim.
A black walking hat in beaver crown
and plush facing, with stiff feather s
in shape of a cocks comb, was stylish
for everyday wear. An evening OF
calling hat, large creation in yellow
velvet facing, with black velvet
crown, Tam o'Shanter, with hand.
some bird of paradise plumes, was
much admired.
Several black and white that's were
shown, soft gray, navy blue and ali
white hats were in the exhibit. Great
taste was displayed in the styles anc
material and mode of trimming, and
the parlors were visited by large mum.

A. H. S. DEFEATED.
Play Good Ball But are Outweighed.

The High School met defeat at the
hands of "Bobbies' - candidates yes-
terday afternoo on the school field bv
the score or 1910. Although tre-
mendously outweighed, the school lads
played good ball and held Boobies
scoreless for the first half. But in
the next two periods the beef of the
candidates counted too much against
them and they could not withstand
the terrible onslaught Of the I6O-
pound team which opposed them.
Several of the school boys were in
jured and will possibly be out of
the game for the rest of the season.
Jackson, of the candidates, bears
watching,a as his work in yesterdays
game was excellent. He will be
likely material for Navy's varsity
