Aim So True It's ApDlsudid.

Uncle Sans latest dreadnaught,
the Oklahoma, was succ sssully
launched from the yards Of the New

tors Owens and Gore some six hun
dred other specially invited guests
and alst. but not least. Miss Lcrena
Cruee, the pretty eightetn-yesr-old
daughter of the Governor, who was
sponsor for the vessel
The launching was scheduled for
IL 80 o'clock, but ii was nearly three
quarters of an hour later before the
blocks could be knocked away from
under the big vessel, releasing her for
her plunge. And thereby hangs q
tale. Miss Cruce, all in white and
carving a bottle of champagne, was
standing ready on the platform near
the bow Of the big vessel by IL 15
O'Clock. When the vessel did not 60
at IL 80 she seemed anxious. For
half an hour more the warshlp stuck
and Miss Cruce veiled her impatience
by chatting to her friends.
So it happened that when the
shrill little whistle from a dummy en-
giue on the vessels forward deck toot-
ed warning Miss Cruce had her back

start. "Let her go! :" shouted some
one who saw the ship move. Miss
Cruce turned like a fash. Already
the warship was slipping away. Then
the girl cent the bottle OF wine crash
ing against the bow with force that
Chief Bender would have been proud
of.
The wine spattered over the girl
and several members Of the party
standing close by, and one man re-
marked
"if the armor can stand that blow

enemy. Miss Cruce was not paying
attention to the havoc wrought by
her sturdy heave. She was busy say,
ing: christen thee Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma is the largest bat
tleship ever built on the Delaware
river. There are other ships under
construction fer the navy that will be
larger, but until these are launched
the Oklahoma will be the largest Of
Uncle Sans sea fighters.

SCHOOL DAYS.
Offered BY The Seven Krazy Kids at
The Colonial Tonishl.

The Peerless Comedy Company will
offer an entirely new version of the old
school acts and it is brimful and run
ming over with good clean comedy.
Big good-natured Bob Shaw will
take the role of the Dutch Professor
and Happy Bill Teirney will be seen at
his best as the Silly Kid, but the big
scream will be Maxwell as IzZy Fitz-

burden for the Professor, who by the
way is rapidly losing his eyesight and
can scarcely see.
The act opens with the old Professor
coming into the school room and he on
account of his failing sight imagines
the scholars are in their respective
seats and begins the morning lessons.
Ring. biff, bang, the seven hTaZy Kids
headed by the trouble makers lzzy and
the Silly Kid open the .doJrs with a
slam and rush pell nell TO their seats,
Izzy taking good care to upset the
Professor on his way and then blames
It on one of the girls.
The mixup that ensues is excruclat-
ingly funny and the argument between
the teacher and Izzy will long be re-
membereds. Then the lessons are re
sumed, first comes the music lessons IN
which the girls also take part and in
troduce new songs and dances. There
is a laugh in every line and there Is
not dull moment during the whole
act.
Shaw and Maxwell will also offer
new vaudeville act which is their own
version of Grand BUM Opera Billy
Tierney will present an entire new
specially, singing and buck dancing;

"You seem to be a city of men
dicants," said a stranger. as he
stepped in the editorial rooms Of
the Evening Capital today.
"lnJeed, that's news to us, was
the rejoinder from the person at the
desk. And then be went on to tell a
story that, beg pardon, Mr.. Shake g.
peare, curdled cur young blood
and made our hair stsnd on end like
ouills upon the fretted porcupine.
The man, a stranger, said he could
not walk FIVE feet in this city, espec-
ially around the State House, without
being besieged by little negroes beg
ging. Colored children, boys and
girls, of all ages, sizes and condi-
tions of ragged clothes, are asking
for money to get something to eat.
One boy was seen to count his change
and put it first in one pocket, then
in another.
When little colored boy was heard
to ask for aims, girl nearby ran up
to the person asked, and said: Mis-
ter, don't give it to him; his mother
has a plenty, and he has q nice home. I"
What is the city coming to, to per-
nit this begging nuisance on the
streets? There is an ordinance for
bidding soliciting aims on the public
highway. Annapolis is no city OF
beggars, and more is done now by the
District Nurse for the poor and sick
especially of the colored race here thar
ever before.

In the next few days, full tickets

Star hopes that the candidates and
their friends will observe the rules
of courtesy and good nature, and
that we shall not have any of the
outbreaks of i'll feeling that markell
the last campaign. 1T also hopes the
people will be sensible and vote with
the view of promoting the public in
terest, and not with the idea of vim
dicating any man, or serving any
mans personal ambition. A man
shouldn't offer for the Office unless
he has sincere desire to serve his
fellow citizens to the best of his
ability, and the philosophy to accept
good deal of criticism. On the
other hand, the people should keer
cool and not allow themselves to be
made catspaws, or harnessed UP tC
grindstones to sharpen anybody's
axes, or even their little hatchets.

The Star sees no necessity for any
friction between the mayor and coun-
Gil over the election of a successor
to Alderman Robinson in the second
ward. 1t has been understood for
some time that Mr. Robinson would
resign, and his resignation would
have been accepted had the council
held meeting Saturday afternoon.
The mayor has issued the necessary
call for an election for MIR. Robin
sons successor at the same time the
regular election is to be held. and it's
the Stars opinion that if the coun-
Gil will accept the resignation and
carry out the proclamation, there will
he no trouble. about it. The differ
ence is only technical, and the courts
have long ago decided that technical
trifies needn't set aside the expressed
will of the people. And It is the
Will of the people of OcaIa that they
don't want the trouble and expense
of an extra election if it can be avoid
ed.

patches said. the other day, that the

only chance the Turks have TO invade
Egypt successfully is to march an

of the Red Sea and all its coasts are
absolutely at the mercy of the Brit
ish, who are certain not to allow any

as much chance for the Turks to sue
