LARGEST ENROLMENT.
Maryland Agricultural College Opens
Scholastic Year Under AuspiciOus
Conditions.

The Maryland Agricultural Col
lege formally opened another scho-
lastic year last Thursday, the enroll
ment of students being the largest in
the history of the institution. The
freshman class is unusually large,
and far exceeds any previous roster
for this class.
Most Of the weekend was con-
sumed in examinations, and the real
work of the year, from the students
standpoint, begins today. Bids will
be opened October ! for the new hun
dred-thousand-d main college
building, to take the place of the
dormitories and administration build
ing destroyed by fire last November.
The new building-is to be located
to the left of the road leading TO the
main group of buildings and on the
site used for the TEAMS court, and
will accommodate ITO students. One
half of the rooms will be used for stu
dents desiring single room, while
the remaining rooms will contain
two be DIS and a study for two stu
dents.
The building will be made up of
five ends, each end separated from
the other by a FIRE wall, and the
whole structure will be fire proof.
1t will contain headquarters for the
Young Mems Christian Association +,
with offices and rooms for the Morrill,
and New Mercer literary societies.
The general design of the build
ing will be colonial, the appearance
being much like the old Carrollton
Mansion. There will be large main
building with two wings, each end
being a little lower than the main
structure. The building will face the
east and will overlook the Washing
ton Baltimore boulevard.

TO REBUILD LIGHTHOUSE.
Structure Marking Thimble ShOal
Slated for Restoration.

Thimble Shoal lighthouse, around
which the ste amers running from Bal
timore to Norfolk before going into
the wharf at Old Point, is to be re-
built at once, and the contractors for
replacing the light have begun its
construction.
The caisson on which the super
structure of Sthe new light will be
built has been brought to the site of
the lighthouse, and this week the
work of sinking it into POSITION will
be started. A notice requesting ves-
sells passing the light to move slow
ly, so as t. cause as little swell as
possible, has been issued by the au-
thorities to the masters OF steamers
plying on Chesapeake Bay.
1t is stated that six months or
longer will be required to complete
the work on the station, though all
the iron work for it has been gotten
cut and needs but to be fastened to-
gether. Several years. ago in cold
weather the light that formerly stood
on Thimble Shoal was struck by a
passing schooner, knocked from its
mornings and set on fire by an over
turned stove.
The structure was totally destroyed
and the keepers had narrow escapes
with their lives, being only rescued
when the time came for them to de-
eide whether they preferred being
burned to death or to jump into the
freezing water and drown. Since
the accident small temporary struc-
ture has stood on the piles of the
old light to warn vessels away from
the dangerous shoals.

Ten Hearty Laughs a Minute.

When those wild bucking bron chos
with Wyoming Bills Wild West Exhi-
bition break loose there is more real
hearty laughter to the square inch than
can be found in a score of circuses.
They perform indescribable twists and
turns in their frantic endeavors to
throw their riders, but the husky COW
boy invariably remains seated, much
to the displeasure of the best. The
fun is of the button busting variety.
A score of these bucking bronchos are
carried with this show and they create
untold merriment by their actions.
The chow will be in Annapolis to-
morrow.

CAN ABOLISH JOBS,
SAYS GILLESPIE
Believes Water Board Is Sure to
Win Out Against Dis
charged Employees

81 don't believe q man should hollor
when he loses political JOB; he
knows, when he accepts the position
what's likely to happen" said Water
John Gillespie, referring
to the announcement that the 16 men
released by the water board Tuesday
afternoon will fight to retain their
places.
THE courts may hold that the civil
service amendment Is In effect, and
may force US to take the men bs
and give them pay for the time they
lost. but they can't prevent u from
abolishing the jobs" continued Mr..
Gillespie. AS for the two men who
claim that they can't be fired becanSe
they are soldiers. the enforcement OF
that rule merely means that city de-
partments will refuse to employ vet
erans Of the Civil or Spanish wars"
Practically all OF the Is men 10
leased will make q fight for retention.
Most Of them have banded together
to employ legal advice. They are bas-
ing their hopes on the prospect that
the courts will hold that the Verdier
home rule act went into effect imme-
diately. and not 80 days after the leg-
islature's session. II was under this
act that the civil service amendment
to the charter was passed. Whether
the water board comes under the civil
service amendment must also bo Do
cided.
