MANY CANDIDATES COMING


A larger number of candidates is in
Annapolis at this time than at any
previous time in the city's history,
and more are expected next week
The first of this years tests will be
gin on February 10 and will continue
for three days. The examinations
will, as usual, be conducted under
civil service regulations at the various
stations throughout the country and
the questions propounded by members
OF the academic board of the academy
have been forwarded TO these bureaus.
che reason for the large number of
candidates is the urgent need of Off
GERS in the service and the fact that
additional appointments were allowed
Senators and Congressman under a
special act of the last Congress. An
napolis is crowded with the would.be
middies who have come here To take
courses Of study at the preparatory
schools in or about the city. The stu

great numbers and they have expert

ing accommodations owing to the fact
that the hotels and boarding houses

It is an extraordinary fact that even
when deaths from accident arc includ-
ed, the rate Of mortality among miners
OF Great Britain is materially lower
than that among any other big class
of labor, except agriculturists, and APP
preciably lower tlan the average rate
of mortality among males. This fact
was discovered by Doctor latham.
while acting as superintendent of sta
tistics in the office of the registrar gen.
eraL Doctor latham points out that
while the risk OF fatal accidents among
the coal miners is much greater than
among other males generally, their
risk of death by disease is much lower.

pied males, and 23.2 Per cent less than
that Of all males. While coal miners
appear TO suffer more than the aver
age mortality from bronchitis. they
show marked immunity from consump-
ton, their mortality from that disease
being less than half the average. From
. diseases Of the nervous system their
mortality is IS per cent lower: heart
disease, 10 per cent lower, and from
disease Of the liver, 10 per cent lower
than among all males.

ANOTHER FIRE
SHROUDED IN MYSTERY
Shoulders in Unoccupied Room On
Conduit ST. Fourth Of Series Of
Fires Of Recent 0rigin-Suspi-
cion Aroused.

Last night. shortly before S O'Clock,
the fourth Of a series of recent fires
OF mysterious origin occurred in the
vacant room above the tailor shop OF
Mr. William Thomas, Conduit street,
adjoining the Chinese laundry.
A volume Of smoke was seen to
burst from the room on the second
floor OF the building and an alarm
was given. The fire fighters fought
the fire with chemicals and later with
the hose, water seeping through to the
tailor establishment below and dam
aging some of the goods
That the room was unoccupied and
no one, so far as known. had been
there yesterday, makes things appear
very mysterious.
There is some uneasiness felt in
Annapolis in regards to the FIRE at the
Parlett ice plant and the fire at the
Munroe stables. both of recent date.

Neglected teeth decay. Decaying
teeth cause the birth in billions of
poisonous germs in the gums and
other tissues of the mouth.
These germs are swallowed with the
food-a thousands of deaths every
year are due 60 this particular kind of
poisoning.

Sheen Has Wooden Leo.

Charles Krauter, living near Bucyrus,
o., had a lamb get tangled up in Il
fence and injure its leg. The vetePin-
AIRY told him the leg had to come Off.
Krauter did not want to lose the lamb,
so minus the leg lie nursed it back
to health and then fixed up a peg leg
for it.
Now the lamb has grown to be a
sheep and still stumps around on the
wooden leg. Occasionally the wooden
member becomes loose and falls o.1
and the sheep then hobbies over to "a
soft spot and waits until some one
comes along to fasten the leg on
again.
The wooden leg doesn't interfere
with the sheep growing wool liz.
Krauter says, and wool is wool now
