Annapolis, Aug. 20. Lieutenant Itleh
mond P. Hobson came quietly Into
Annapolis yesterday from Washington,
nml was driven Immediately to the
naval academy. Few knew him, but
they were enough to have It known he
was here, and that drew a number of
people to see him take a train for
Washington.
As the lleutennnt drove along tho
drive fronting lllako row ho saw Ad
miral MoNair. superintendent ot the
naval academy, and alighted from his
carriage, and the two had a prolonged
conversation. Lieutenant Hohson then
went to his quarters In the "bachelors'
quarters," and returned and had a sec
ond Interview with Admiral McNalr. It
Is thought that the visit was in rela
tion to Lieutenant Hohson returning In
October to assume the duties of head
of the departmei.it of naval construc
tion, which was Inaugurated last Octo
ber, under a curriculum advised by
Lieutenant Hohson, and of which de
partment he was put in charge.
He was accosted at the depot aB he
got on his train by a lady, who asked
him to pose for a snap shot from the
ltodak. The lieutenant hesitated for
pome time, and then ns the train moved
out his gallantry nnd courtesy prevail

window and wns once more photo

monthH prior thercta. Among the dis
tinguished alienists examined were
Dr. C. K. Mills, of Philadelphia; J. Z,

together with a number of local physi

In rebuttal by calling n number of wit

will be given to the Jury today.

BY "THE WAY.
The oxccsslvo rainfall of tho present mouth
has lelioved the water olllclalsof many towns
beside Shenandoah, although, perhaps, none
in this section of tho state hailed it witli
moto Joy. Now, however, tlio wall of tlio
fanner is heard in tlio laud, as tho potato
crop is threatened.
Speaking of the fanner, probably none of
his calling has had such 11 cinch as tlio fellow
w ho tickles tho surface of tho earth in tho
Catawlssa Valley. No hotter market oxnts
anywhere, and in few places are such good
prices obtainable as right hero. Almost
anything that grows is salable and that, too,
for any figure the guileless tiller of tho soil
chooses to ask. And yet ho pays nothing to
wind tho expenses of the town lie is growing
rich oil' of. There ought to he some way of
calling upon him to do so, and the matter is
called to the attention of our borough
l'lithcis hi the hopo they may be nblo to
find it.

Many changes have been mado in ollicials,
great and small, all, however, being an
nounced as resignations. In some cases they
are suie-enough leslgnations, In others the
ollicjal is anything but lesigncd. In many
cases the ullicial is given to understand in
indirect ways that ho is not wanted or, to
use a diplomatic term, is persona 11011 grata.
and is so treated that ho soon understands
that if he does not not letiio voluntarily he
will do so Involuntarily before a grent wiille.
New men nnd new methods aic tho order ol

uiilly disappearing. Tho face of tho long

to be seen daily alung tho lino as his impor
tant duties of settling claims keep him on
the go.
His doubtful, however, whether the cor
poration will over ho of great henoflt to this
town, or Mahanoy City either, for that
matter. In fact, it is questionable if it over
has been. Its culllerios hereabouts havo con
tributed but little to tho town or its business,
and tho businessmen know this bettor than
any othor class of citizens. Tho largo com
pany store at Lost Creek was, at 0110 time,
such a glaring example of tho company store
