AT DIZZY HEIGHTS.
Painters Gliding the Acorn on State
House Dome.

AT the last Legislature y bill was
passed appropriating money for the
repaiuting of the State House exter-
Tor. The work was begun some
weeks ago, but has been hindered on
account of the rain and bad weather.
Scaffoldiug around the apex of the
dome where the flag is raised on holt
days, has interfered probably with
the raising of the flag on the Twelfth
of September, Told Defenders Day.,
a legal State holiday, and on Colum-
bus Day, another holiday. On both
of these days there was no State flag
displayed according to custom.
The scaffolding around the acorn
at the very top of the dome has hung
there fer some time, and many per-
sons who gazed skyward have re-
marked the unsightly ornament to
the dome. 1t was even thought the
work was indefinitely suspended but
not So. Today two pointers at the
dizzy height began work which is to
be again resumed after an interval
of some days.
At an early hour this morning two
men VINO looked like flies were seen
gliding the acorn, and will paint be-
meath this apex of the State House
dome as they come nearer to earth.
1t must have been pretty cold at that
dizzy height this morning. as the
painters were seen beating their
hands about their bodies as if to warm
up bit. There have been many to-
day in aristocratic Annapolis to carry
their heads even higher than usual,
gazing skyward at the painters gilj-
ing the acorn on the dome
Yesterday the gold fish on the top
of the 14-foot steel rod above the
acorn was gilded by the steeple jack,
who painted the rod as he descended.
Many persons had glasses on the dar-
ing painter during his dangerous feat
at such dizzy heights.

ON HER LAST SEA VOYAGE.
Old Frigate Hartford. Former Station
Ship at Academy, Sails for Char
lesion Navy Yard.

Under her own steam and on what
will probably be her last voyage, the
old wooden frigate Hartford, famous
in che history of the nation as the
flagship of Admiral Farragut at the
blockade of Mobile Bay, sailed from
the Naval Academy today under the
command of Commander Noble E.
Irwin.
The Hartford is bound for che navy
yard at Charleston, S. c., where she
will become the station ship, repIac-
ing the cruiser Baltimore, that has
been ordered to the League Island
navy yard, Philadelphia, on similar
duty, to relieve the Franklin.
The old frigate will stop at Nor
folk for short time before proceeding
to Charleston. The Hartford had for
a number of years been used at the
Naval Academy as station ship, hav-
ing replaced the old prison ship San
tee, now wreck, but because she
has never been rcofed over, Superin-
tendent Gibbons began to look around
for more suitable vessel.
So the cruiser Reina Mercedes, one
of the trophies of the war with Spain,
captured at the battle of Santiago,
was taken from the naval training
station at Newport, r. /. She arrived
here few weeks ago and took the
berth at the Santee dock formerly &C.
cupied by the Hartford.
