MIDDIES RETURN ON MONDAY
Will Not be Here for Sunday Chapel
Service as Many Believe.

Contrary to reports that have gain
ed some circulation, the midshipmen
now on their vacations will not return
until Monday. They are due to report
their return at the Academy at IL
O'Clock in the morning, and the Off
cial re-opening of the institution will
take place the following day.
1t was the belief of many that the
middies would return on Saturday so
as to be present at the Chapel servi-
ces on Sunday. But such is not the
case, although Sunday is so close to
the beginning of the academic term.
There is a good nucleus of the reg
iment already here, including the
fourth class, thirty-odd members of
the football squad, besides dozen or
more members of the second and third
classes, who have been taking re-eX-
aminations.
With the return of the others Mon
day morning, the remaider of the day
will be given over to the assignment
of rooms, and arranging other de-
tails, and at 7.3G o'clock IN the even
ing the usual study hours will be i'm
augurated.

MUSICAL COMEDY.
See Mutt and JEFF Friday Night at
the Colonial Theatre.

Mutt and jeff Gus Hills elabo-
rate musical comedy production of the
famous Bud Fisher cartoon play,
founded on what is conceded to be the
nest Successful conception Of comical
character in the history of journalism,
comes 20 the Colonial Theatre next
Friday night, September q.
The tour of this organization last
season may be termed triumphal.
Never before, since the inception of
travelling theatrical companies has
any play scored such a tremendous
success; never before has a theatrical
producing manager so perfectly pre-
scribed amusement according to the
public's demand and taste.
Of course, it goes without saying
that it is not likely that any play
has ever had the advertising that this
one has had through the daily ear,
toon that is run in more than FIVE hun.
dred newspapers in the United States
and Canada. The original success
was undoubtedly attained by the ar
tist, Bud Fisher. OF the New Yorl
American staff, when he conceived
the eccentric idea of Mr.. A. Mutt anS
Mr. Otnello Montgomery Jeffries.

VERY HIGH TIDE.
Does Much Damage to Wharves on
Water Front.

Yesterdays strong south to south
easter caused an extraordinarily
high tide in these parts. The oldest
watermel say it is seldom the tide is
so high. Most of the wharves on the
waterfront were submerged and
while no material damage was done,
yet slight damage is reported to most
of the wharves along the water
front.
The railway at Eastport was
washed, and some of the material
on the wharf foated. At the Toll
chester Steamboat Company's wharf
the earth was loosened from the
bulkheads, and also the same at Mar
tins and Johnson's wharves. In sew
eral places the bulkheads themselve
were loosened.
But few wharves escaped damage
of some sort by the extraordinarily
nigh tide, and the heavy rains of the
past three days. Today the wind has
veered to northeast from the south to
southeast, prevailing winds of yes
terday and Monday.

TOMORROW'S TREAT.
Oliver Twist With All Star Cast in
Picture Show at the Colonial
Theatre.

The patrons will be given the
greatest treat in the history of che
Colonial Theatre on Thursday and
Saturday nights. Manager Irons will
present on Thursday night Mr.. Nat
Goodwin, Americas greatest actor, as
Fagin, in Charles Dickens great
masterpiece, "0liver Twist, support
ed by an all star cast.
This beautiful production will be
shown in five reels. Two perform
ances will be given at the usual vau-
deville hours-7.30 and S.45-the
prices remaining the same. This
will be your only chance to ever see
Nat Goodwin featured as his injury
of some time ago has paralyzed his
limbs and he may never be able to
walk again. You no doubt read of
his accident at Santa Monica, Cal,
were he was severely injured by the
waves while trying to save young
girl from drowning.
This was about the middle of Au-
gust, shortly after he produced this
wonderful picture. The latest report
from his physicians has cast gloom
over the entire country, as he is one
of the most loved actors on.the Amer
icau stage His physicians claim that
he will never be able to appear again
Remember, one night only, Thursday,
September &c, will this feature be
shown.
On Saturday night Manager Irons
will offer Miss Blanch Walsh in Toll
stoy's immortal drama, "Resurrec-
tion" in four reels, with an all-star
cast of players. The prices will re-
main the same on this production also.
The patrons will most assuredly ap-
preciate the efforts on the part of the
Management of the Colonial to please
them, and to give them the best fea-
lures obtainable in the amusement
line regardless of heavy expense.

Weather Interferes.

Another rainy night, yet goodly
crowd turned out to the nifty little
girl show at the Colonial Theatre last
night, and the whole bill made a much
bigger hit than on the opening night.

dience to work to, and each act re-
ceived their share of the very gener-
Gus applause.
Tonight is the last of their engage
ment, and your last chance to enjoy
this pleasing little bill. The photo
plays for tonight are tThe Ranch
mans Awakening" Bison feature ;
"Fate's Way" Powers drama ;
His Weaker Brother" very pretty

JOHN DIS SALE SET ASIDE
Pocantico Land He Bought Goes
to Mission Society.

BY a decision Of Justice Keogh, In
White Plains yesterday, James T. Gus
sani must turn over to the Catholic
Foreign Mission Society deed to a
piece of property in Pocantico Hills.
next to the John d. Rockefeller estate,
which he once agreed to sell to the So
ciety, but later sold to Rockefeller in
stead.
Oussani entered into an agreement
with the society to sell it tract Of
land upon which to erect home. The
society was to pay $1,000 in cash and
give a mortgage for $4,000. on July
20 il made a formal tender OF the cash
and the mortgage, but Oussani refused
to sell. When John d. Rockefelle"
heard of the agreement to sell the
property to the church organization he
at once entered into negotiations with
Oussani to purchase the tract. and did
so. presumably at much better figure
than was offered by the society.
The decision Of Justice Keogh sets
aside this sale to Rockefeller, and Gus
sani will have to fulfil his original con-
tract with the mission society. Since
the beginning Of the suit the society
has purchased q tract at Briarcliff
Manor, 80 It is doubtful if it will take
the Pocantico land. 1t will, however,
be free to dispose Of the tract. 1t IS
said that Mr.. Rockefeller will try 20
get the land at any cost.

Louisville, Dec. 3.-Because he re-
signed a few weeks ago. James Nc
Crea. formerly president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. will not
receive $4,000 a year pension which he
would have received had he stayed in
the service of his road until May /,
1913. At that date he will be sixty
FIVE years old. the age when employees
of the Pennsylvania are allowed to re-
tire on a pension.
Mr.. McCrea had been in the service
more than forty years and his salary
was nearly s5o,O0o a year. The rule on
the Pennsylvania system is that l per
cent of the salary of retiring official
for the last ten years. multiplied by
the number Of years of service, shall be
paid TO him annually. One per cent of
McCrea's salary was $500, and his forty
years service would make the neat sum
of 500, 900 year. He is at his Ardmore
estate, near Philadelphia.
