Two Naval Officers
Seriously iii at Hospital,

Two naval officers are seriously i'll
at the Naval Hospital here where
they have been patients for some
weeks.
There is no change in the condition
of Commodore W. H. Beehler, u. S.
NJ, retired, who was operated upon
some weeks ago for abscess of the
bladder, and whose illness has caused
his many friends considerable anxiety.
Commodore Beehler was formerly
naval attache at Berlin, and has had
wide experience as a naval officer.
He is an author and writer for maga-
zines. man of letters and an ardent
churchman. Commodore Beehler is
Superintendent of st Anne's Sunday
School and lay reader in the parish.
Last summer he gave valuable service
to the residents Of the summer colony
at Arundel-on-the-Bay by holding a re-
ligious service on Sunday in the Civic
League Hall. His present illness has
occasioned deep regret among a large
circle of friends.
Another naval officer whose serious
illness is a source of deep regret to
his brother officers and many friends,
is Admiral A. H. Mccormick, u. S. NJ,
also a patient at the naval hospital,
whose condition is reported unchanged.
The families of both naval officers
reside in this city.

OFFICIALS STILL PROBING
ALLEGED FRAUD IN EXAMS.
That Those Who ''StOIe" Set Of
Questions Win be Severely Pun
ished, Not Doubted.

The Naval Academy authorities are
still engaged in the investigation with
the view Of getting to the bottom Of
the scandal in connection with the
final examinations of the midshipmen
which came to close today.
AS told in last nights Capital, il is
alleged fraud was perpetrated, as a
result of which number of midship-
men of the first and second classes, got
copies of the questions propounded for
the examinations in French and Span
ish. either through one of their number
stealing them from the department of
modern languages, or that they were
furnished with a set through some
other channel.
The authorities are determined to
ferret out the guilty party or parties.
and there is no doubt if the offenders
are midshipmen, the most severe pun
ishment under the naval regulations
will be mete.i out.

Automobile Accident
Injuries Four --0ne in Hospital.

A happy party of four returning
home after a shopping expedition in
this city yesterday afternoon to their
home at Davidsonville, in an automo-
bile, came to grief.
The car was driven by Mr.. George
King, and contained his m lther, an
infant and Mr.. Charles Bassford, a
member of the Board of County Com
missioners.
Just az the car was being driven
out West street near Myers Mill, a
large dog ran across in front Of the
automobile, and to avoid running over
the dog, the chauffeur turned the car
suddenly, striking the curbing, the
sudden jar upsetting the car, and caus-
ing it to turn completely over. The
crash broke the wind shield of plate
glass, which cut Mr.. Kings fingers
badly, cut the baby's face and Mrs.
King. Mr.. Bassford was worse in
jured than the other occupants of
the car, and while all were removed
to the hospital to have their wounds
dressed, they were able to return to
their home, except Mr.. Bassford who
is said to be doing nicely, and whose
injuries are not serious.

the ducks neck, but throwing ring
over the ducks head, and il is lots of
fun. Hitting the babies is another
form of amusement, and the dancing
pavilion is also generously patronized.
There is great fun for all patrons
of the Carnival, and everybody should
patronize it. There are many good
things for sale, cake, candy, pop corn,
penauts, lemonade and soft drinks are
dispensed at the various stands.
Many good things are on sale and
you will miss "half your life," not to
say lots of fun if you do not p atron-

chiId,s Allowance.

Should boys and girls have theiI
own allowance, in proportion to the
means of the parents, as soon as they
are old enough TO know the value OF
money? This is what many a parent
has said in substance:
Certainly. An allowance is the
best safeguard against the habit of ex-
travagance, If the child is taught to
spend the money judiciously and to
keep strict account of all expendi-
lures. II is absurd to think that a boy
is not capable of buying his own neck
ties or a girl her handkerchiefs. What
IL they do make mistakes? They can
be taught to profit by them and they
must learn to rely upon themselves
sooner or later. Children like to be
trusted and will seldom betray conf.
dence.'

PLEASING EXERCISES
AT FIRST METHODIST CHURCH.
Local and 0ut-of- Town Talent Given
a Real Treat With Good Enter
fainmenf.

A very pleasing evening was spent
at the First Nj. Z. Church lecture room
last night, by large and appreciative
audience. The evenings entertain
ment was arranged by the ladies of
the Epworth League, and reflected
great credit upon those in charge of
the affair, as well as upon those who
actually participated in the evenings
pleasure.
The first NUMBER was a short play
my Aunt From California. and
was a mirth provoking affair from
start to finish. Sally" who was
supposed by her two sisters, to be out
of the running for trip to Europe
with the rich aunt. very cleverly
disguised herself, as such aunt, and
caused her two sisters TO perform
some very amusing stunts. they be-
lieving that she was the real aunt, and
each being anxious to please the latter.
Mrs. King was an excellent Aunt, "
and was very successful in concealing
her identity until she had found out
which one of the three most deserved
to be her travelling companion. and
was NhC lNNhy gin AhC
others who took part in the cast all
deserve the highest praise for their
part, in the evenings fun.
The vocal numbers which followed
just after this play were of the best.
Miss Wells, accompanied by Miss
Dawes on the piano. sang in her
usually excellent style, and refused to
respond to an encore. The two men
who followed her, Mr.. Stanley Peters
of Balti more, and Mr.. John Kaiser
were at their best, and both responded
to the encores given them. Mr.. Peters
created considerable amusement, in
one of his numbers. by advising his
hearers not to go to sea on a Friday,
there being at least one "sailor-lad"
present, with "buzzard" on his
sleeve.
The closing number was, the repe-
tition, by request, of very pretty lit
tie play The Minister'S Bride,
which was recently given there by a
number of young ladies of the Church,
and which was just as good this Sec
ond time as it was the first. Every
body enjoyed this play, and the whole
entertainment, as well.

Woman Can Keep Secret.

Can woman keep secret? A bish-
op says she can't And he ought to
know But he doesn't. say the wom-
en-. Don't tell church secrets to your
wife," the bishop advised a bunch of
laymen, because they will be no long
er secrets" And the women come
right back Just like this: "The worst
gossips and betrayers of confidence
are of masculine gender. How do
most women who spread secrets oh.
tain possession of them in the first
place? From their husbands, of course.
Doesn't the fact that woman usually
conceals any truth damaging to her.
self prove that she can keep a secret?"

Among the strangest coins In the
world are those used in certain out

Of Africa, and called the "manilas."
In shape they resemble horse
shoe with the two extremities fat
tened out like a camel's foot. Be
ing made of solid copper, three
eighths of an inch thick, they weigh
over eight ounces each. In face
value" seven of these queer coins are
equivalent to one quarter, SO that a
