ROSTER OF STUDENTS
At ACADEMY IS $50
Upperclassmen Return From Leave
Today Ready For Work.
BUSY SCENES AT SCHOOL.
Summer Calm" Gives Way to Much
Activity as Over Five Hundred
Lads Hasten to Report.

The Naval Academy took a new
lease on lite today From the usual
Summer calm that follows the
graduation ceremonies and the de par
ture of the midshipmen on their sum
mer practice cruise in June. the Gov
ernment reservation was converted to
scene of much activity today.
Everything was hus tie and hustle.
Over FIVE hundred midshipmen, com
prising the first, second and third
classes, piled into the city during the
early morning hours. They had just
wound up the pleasures afforded by
their nual vacation of one month.
And, with their arrival, the officers
of the department of discipline were
busy assigning them to the dormi-
tories of Bancroft Hall.
The officers of the other depart
ents were busy closing up minor de-
tails, preparatory to the official re-
opening of the naval school for the
regular academic term tomorrow
morning. All of the middies were
due to report their re turn at II
o'clock this morning, and according
to the officials, more was tardy,
though a few, it is said, were detain-
ed at their homes by slight cases of
sickness and will not return for sev-
eral days.
The Academy begins the year with
$50 students on the roster. This. is
nearly 100 greater than last year,
when there were 768 az the start.
This is due in great measure to the
larger fourth class this time. There
are 304 new recruits. The third
class has 21l members, the second
class, 1S9, and the first, which will
be next years graduating class, has
l56.
The academic board held it's final
meeting before the opening today
and passed upon the examination pa
pers of those midshipmen who failed
in the annual tests in June, and
others whose examinations were de-
layed. There were about a dozen to
take these tests, moscly members of
the third and fourth classes. 1t is
understood that several were found
deficient, but the authorities would
not disclose the names of delinquent
pending action by the Navy Depart
ment upon the report, which was for
warded to Washington today.

VAST IMPROVEMENT IN
CITY LIGHTING SYSTEM
CounciI Provides for Seventeen
More Arc Lights.
INCANDESCENTS TO GO.
More Powerful Ones to be Substi-
tuted in Various Sections and
Still Money Saved.

Definite steps to increase the
lighting facilities of the city was the
principal item of business disposed
of by the City Council at a srecial
meeting held last night.
The improvement and extension of
the Ii ghting system will consist of
the removal of a ndmber of the in
candescent lights and substitute in
their stead the large arc lights. The
Council paved the way for this i'm
provement through the fact that
under the lighting contract entered
into with the Annapolis Public Utili-
ties Company, the city made a net
saving of about $1,000 yesr, COM
pared to former years, owing to the
reduction in cost OF the arcs as well
as the electric current
TIL = matter came before the Coun-
ell in the sAaps of a favorable report
by the Committee en- Bylaws and
Ordinances, on an ordinance which
had previously been submitted. At
present there are 4S arc lights in the
city and the extent of the improve
ment may be realized from the fact
that II additional are TO be placed.
Here is the schedule as finally ado pit
ed by the Council under the ordi-
nance, one arc to be installed in each
instance:
Corner of East and Fleet streets;
Prince George street, at the head of
Holland street, moving the light be-
tween Holland and Randall streets to
the corner of Randall street; Market
Space, at the head of Compromise
street; Compromise street, halfway
between the present arc light to the
bridge Franklin street, at the corner
of Shaw str let, removal of one in
candescent light corner of franklin
street and Cheston avenue; corner of
Southgate avenue and Franklin
street, removal of one incandescent
light.
Corner of Southgate avenue and
Second street, removal of one incan-
descent corner of Madison and Hill
streets, removal of two incandes-
cents St. Johns street, opposite the
College, removal of one incandescent !;
st. Johns street and Lincoln Place,
removal Of one incandescent; Calvert
street, ne ar the Short Line freight
station, removal of one incandescent:
King George street, near College
creek bridge, removal of one incan-
descent; corner Green aud Gloucester
streets; corner South street and
Church Circle; West street, between
Church Circle and Cathedral street.
The Council last night gave
hearing on the protests against the
proposed erection of stable by the
Merchants Baking Company on Shaw
street. There was letter of protest
from Winson G. Gott and several
persons appeared in person. 1t
was later explained that the char
acter of the stable was not what the
protestants thought it would be,
and the protests subsequently were
withdrawn.
With the installation of the ad-
ditional arc lights, the city will still
be nearly 500 ahead compared to
the contract of former years.

Cooler Weather PIeases TOngers.

Largely because of the cooler
weather of the last several days
there has been substantial increase
in the number of oyster tongers
licenses issued from the Clerks
office at the Court House. Against
is licenses issued up TO about
week ago, a total of lit had been
issued to tongers of the city and
county up to noon today.
Compared to az licenses issued at
the corresponding date of last year.
it would seem that followers of this
industry are getting on the Jump
earlier this season. Indications point
to a prolific yield of the bivalyes this
winter.

WHERE is THE DOG CATCHER?
Stray Dogs in Western Section Annoy
Residents.

Several complaints have come to
this office relative to dogs barking at
night. The nuisance is not confined
to any one section of the city. but Ito
all sections.
The latest complaint, however.
comes from the western part of the
city, at the intersection of Second and
West streets. For the past four or
Eve nights there have been at least 5
dogs at large in this section of the
town, that have been keeping up a
howl and bark, making it unable for
those living nearby to sleep. A famf
ly of whom there is an aged father and
mother were kept awake the entire
night Sunday by these dogs.
Where is the dog catcher? Or why
do not the owners of these dogs keep
them tied up at night?

In a great many other ways the habits of being gentle with animals works to the owners advantage. When a horse. for instance. has come to put complete confidence in a man, that man can do almost anything with him. And he will do almost anything for that man.
 Some years ago I had neighbor helping me in the woods. He was good natured enough fellow, but he was nervous and eXCitabIe and had a voice like gale of wind. He was all the time skipping the horses with the TeinS, or Yanking their heads about or yelling at them. One time he had them hitched on to a rather big log which was in an unusually bad place to snake" out. He was shouting at them and jerking the lines and they were "see- saving" and plunging. But the log wouldn't stir. l waited till he gave it up and called for help. Then I took the lines out of his hands, lOOped them carefully over the names, went to the horses heads and gently worked them back a step or two till the collars ceased to draw against them patted their necks and rubbed their noses, all the while talking to them till they were perfectly sure who it was. l went off one side and got a couple of beech twigs with the dried leaves still sticking to the wood and gave them nibble. Then, when l was sure that they had got quite calm ed down and had regained their confidence in twO-legged things, I just touched their bit-rings and said, Come on, ponies" at the same time stepping backward in front of thttheri- -tvTH on and brought the pesky log with them. not only pulling it masterfully out of pinch but, as it seemed to me stepping with care so as to avoid  latter was in my ina gination, but the log wasn't. That was a real thing and it made me, later. some twenty inch boards of clear stuff.

Moreover, it would be rather bad policy to deceive them many times. It's a good deal easier to have them all come when l want them than to have to hunt the sheep nightly over forty acre pasture, ana go the length of a ten acre meadow to catch unwilling horses The little messing which is needful to draw them costs not much in either time or money, and it has saved me many weary miles of hill- climbing and worriful chasing after the long days work, when l was tired and my old legs wanted rest rather than racing.

Talk Of riots in New London!

The soldiers forced entrance and with their lead laden belts beat the boiler makers, smashed everything in the house that was breakable, and smashed the win dows as a parting salute. On the re- turn trip the brave boys in blue broke into Mrs. Reardon's home and bar room in the brick block in Potter street, took all the liquors at hand and then wrecked the place. These little incl

Now, don't particularly like horses or cows. That is. 1 don't enjoy fuss ing" over them. I don't find any pleas ure in caring for them. I'd rather buck up" stove wood, any time than curry or brush a horse. I don't like to be around them. There are mighty few farmers in New England who have less natural liking for their animals than l. I don't "coddle'' them because l love them, but because 1 want to save myself trouble and worry and work It's simply a problem in scientific effi- ciency: how to get the most help from the critters at the least cost My experience is that the best way to ac- complish this is to temp them, not scare them: to cajole them. not bully them: to make them think it's for their own pleasure to do the things I~want 'em to.
