During the early morning hours and throughout the afternoon, friends and ad mirers of both teams were arriving, and a steady current of enthusiastic humanity flowed toward the grounds. There was not a vacant seat loft among the three thousand reserved for members of the army and navy aud their friends and fully fit twn thousand people were standingaround the ropes to witness tho buttle between the atudctitsof I'm-le Ham's two great military ediicattonnl institutions.

Annapolis is in holiday attire. Business Is almost suspended and the day given over to the (ireat same. Tho munificent docorntiona of blue and gold on every hand, from tho railroad depot to the academy grounds, the academy buildings druped in one mass of bunting, formed a striking contrast to the sombre tray of tho stone buildings of the Military Academy at Went Point.

It was their mascot, as the sequel will show. The second half opened at 3.30 o'clock with Annapolis in possession of the ball. By some clever playing of Davidson, Reeves and Bagley Annapolis secured a touch-down at 3.47 o'clock and made a goal.

Time, JUSTICE BOOTH ARRESTED A Camden Official Accused of Stealing Brass From a Vessel Ills Son Appears Against Iltm-by Revengeful Policeman The monotony of Camden's police court, where Is no unusual thing for one Justice to have another before him as a prisoner, charged with some crime growing out ol the muddled condition of that city's political affairs, waa broken yesterday morning when Police Justice Paul held Justice ot the Peace Charles Booth, of tho Fifth ward, and John BInkey, under $1,000 ball each for stealing half a ton of brass and ornamental work from the old United States monitor Saugus. Justice Booth's son Edwin was placed under bonds In the sum of WOO, to Insure hie appear ance as a witness against his father. The arrest or the Justice Is the direct result of Follceman Zazler's desire for vengeance. The policeman and Booth bad a disagreement growing out of politics.

AN APARTMENT HOTEL Opening of a New Hostelrie on Son fit Broad Street, A new apartment hotel on the European plan, with rooms and meals separate, has been open for a week or more, buta publio reception was given last night to bring it into more prominence. It is called tbe Mctropola, and its ten stories, rising skyward between tbe Empire and Broad Street Theatres, have attracted much attention. Tbe idea of building a hotel be twuen two theatres is novel, but this one expects a theatrical patrouage.

In consequence of its situation between two theatres special fire precautions have been taken. A novelty for preventing the spread of flames from the theatre on the north, which is nearest, is a perforated pipe paralleling the caves of the roof of the hotel, which in the event of a fire can be made to discharge a constant sheet of water, enveloping the side of the building from roof to pavement. The design of the hotel is Moorish and the Broad street front is quite striking, Tha restaurant is ou the first floor with smoking room and bar attached. There are electrio liehts all through the hotel. W.

M. S. Doughty, formerly of the University Club, is the manager of the new house, John Pfaff the chief cook, Alfred Wyman the steward aud W. T. BeWing the clerk.

The Same Old Scarecrow. From the New York World. The over-fed beneuciurtes of tbe McKlnley tariff are resorting to their old tactics to discredit the Wilson bill. Manufacturers who did not give to labor In Increased wages one penny of the additional bounty accorded to them bv that monopoly-fostering measure are ostentatiously reducing wages or closing their works in the hope of "bringing a pressure to bear" on Congress. Commission merchants and others who make money out of the necessities of the people In handling American productsat tax-enhanced prices are talking of "ruin to our industries" through untaxing their crude materials.

Mine-owners who import the cheapest and most besotted foreign labor to do their work at starvation wages bowl for a continuation of the privilege of taxing the consumers of nature's bounty. It is the old cry of selfishness. It is the same sort of bulldozing and the same old scarecrow tbat failed of their purpose In tha last two general elections. For the General Question Box. From tne Lebanon Report This life is one of responsibilities all through.

The higher the position tbe greater the responsibility. With Borne persons tha wbole science of living resolves Itself into loading responsibilities upon others. If a public official who takes tbe tax-payers money for certain work makes egregious blnuder after blunder to the serious Inconvenience of tbe people who pay him, why shouldn't he be held responsible for hla blundering?

JERRY ANt) THE EEL The Kansas Statesman Talis of an Experience While Pishing. From the Kansas City Times. "Do any of yon gentlemen like to fish fM asKed Jerry Simpson, from behind his gold-bowed glasses. "I am passionately foud of angling as a pastime. I can't say I fish as A in os Cummlngsand some of the other Izaak a I tons ot the House.

I heard C'uinmlngs talking the other day to a fishing friend, and they mentioned as among pnrt of their tackle such things as black bass neckties and weak-fish pnnts and tarpon suits. When people go In that far they get beyond my depth. "Still In a lowly, common way I like to fish. The last time I essayed this gentle sport wnsouton the Waluut river, in Kansas. A colored persou showed me tbe place.

It whs a sublime place. I cut a pole right there among; tbe plurn bushes. It was a splendid pole, big as ray arm at tbe butt, and strong enough so you could have landed a cow with it if one bad bit. I baited, under the guidance of the colored person, with a piece of liver. The line was accoutred with a red bob, or float.

Tbe mission of tbls float, as I will explain to Inexperienced people, is to apprise oue when there is a bite. That is Its mission. It lies in tbe water and you watch tt. When it moves ahout uneasily that Isn't a bite. That's a nibble.

You don't do anything when you have a nibble. When the bob goes clear under water that's a bite, and you sock it to him. Some people like to fool with a flsh and let him tow around on their lines and run and filibuster and make no quorum points and think he's getting away, i don't do that way. I'm a plain man. I am perfectly frank with a fish and don't believe In raiding false hopes, even In the bosom of a bass.

Ho I simply yank 'em forth unhesitatingly and give 'em the worst at once. "After a whllo, this time on the Walnut, I had a bite. The float disappeared like tbe surplus during tbe Harrison administration. I let him have It, It was an eel. I fetched him through the atmosphere looking like a letter and slammed him against the great State of Kansas.

It was a jolt which ought to have loosened every tooth In bis head. want to pause right here to say that, talking about came fish, un eel Is the us mem flsh that ever lived. Talk about black bass! Do yon know what a bass would have done if I'd smashed him against my district that way? Well, he wouldn't have done anything. He'd Just sprawled there. Maybe he'd curl his tall a trifle, but that's the HmlU iiut this eel of mine.

He surely was the gamesteel I ever met. He sprang up the moment he hit the grass and made for the water on the run pole, line, and all. And came! When I headed him off that eel stood rlpht upon his tali and fought me. The colored person had a dog named Body Guard. Dog had a record, too.

He got on the warpath once and closed every store in town. We sicked Body Guard on the eel. My eel whipped blm In two and a half minutes. He was the gamiest eel ever known. No, 1 didn't get him, either.

He went back lu the Walnut, where he lived. You might as well have tried to stop tbe Senate." Sale of the Steamer Destroyer. Nkw York, December 2.

The hated rival across the street bad stolen a march on them. In great flaring letters, on signs tbat stretched along the front of three blocks, It announced that had bought all the manufactured clothing In New York Htnto ana was about to close everything out at 10 cents on the dollar. Clerks wandered about through the long aisles and discussed this latest move of the enemy with bated breath. The porters and bundle-boys in the cellar talked of It in whispers. The blonde typewriter spoke in low tones nbout it through the grating around the cashier's dettk with the brunette cashier.

The bookkeepers shook their heads ominously over the long rows of figures In the ledgers, and everywhere there was distress and amazement. In the office the three Junior partners raed un and down and grabbed out great haudfuls of hair. They swore lurid oatbs and broke tne furniture. It was a calamitous time for the firm of Pants, Necktie, Boxeoats, Suspenders ACo. In the midst of the tumult the senior partner, R.

Pants, strolled in. He noticed the air of suppressed excitement and hastened to the office. "What does this mean?" he shouted to the three junior partners. The harrowing circumstances were explained. "My God!" said the three Junior partners In unison.
