PLANS DAYLIGHT TRIPS.
N. and W. Steamers to Adopt New
Summer Schedule.

Plans for the new day route which the
Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Com
pany will this summer inaugurate be-
tween this city. Old Point and Norfolk
have been perfected. Commencing July
2. the steamer Newport News will be put
on tnweekly schedule. leaving this
city at 7:45 am. Tuesdays. Thursdays
and Saturdays, and from Norfolk at the
same hour Wednesdays. Fridays and Sun
days. This new service will give many
who have never been enabled to see
the Potomac river by daylight an op-
portunity to do so. Travellers say that
while the Potomac has not the grandeur
of the Hudson, which is visited each sea-
son by thousands of tourists, it is one of
the most beautiful waterways in the
world and in a quiet manner rivals the
bold beauty Of the Hudson. SO that a trip
by daylight will be revelation to those
unacquainted with 1t.
The steamer will make these daylight
trips during July and August, when the
days are long and the scenery can be en-
joyed along the whole length Of the Poto-
mac and Chesapeake bay
The steamer Newport News has recent
ly been made practically new steamer
and will be found well adapted for a
pleasure outing of the kind the local
company has arranged. The Norfolk and
Washington line is the first of the Ches-
apeake bay lines to Norfolk to arrange
daylight trips. but 1t is probable that the
lines out of Baltimore will follow its ex-
ample. The Washington Chamber of
Commerce has arranged to make the trip
on the steamer leaving here Saturday,

last year. according to a report OF the

of the larger farms directly across the
Potomac last year corn had 10 be re-

The Department OF Agriculture has been
looking into the subject and has issued
a long statement on the best method 81
combating the worm. The chief thing
that it recommends is clearing the field
of weeds the season prior 10 planting
either corn or tobacco and keeping tho
ground Clearly cultivated TO starve our

Sounds a bit odd? Like it might be
something on the order of the Boy
Scouts? or Way Down East? Not at
all. This dramatic performance is ac-
claimed by Normal School girls as the
topnotch of amateur production in the
classics. 1t is an episode from Homer
Odyssey with a brunette Ulysses,
Greek boys. maidens. a king and queen
and others, all played by the aforemen-
toned fourteen young women.

They were aided. and very materially,
too by Miss Marietta stockard and
other members Of the faculty. but all
hands agree that the class should get as
much credit as possible.
Old Homer himself probably never
dreamed that his poetic anecdote of
Ulysses on the Isle Of Phaeacia would
ever be played here in Washington by
fourteen fine-looking young women who
painted their own back drops, struck
their scenes, did their own stage-hand
work and then drew the applause Of 500
hands whose owners probably did not
know that slight liberties had been taken
with Homer's text Just to make it in

were justifiable. Progressive kindersar-
