    HAZING AT ANNMOLIS.
A Cnrlom Stntoof Affairs nt tho UoItcit;stntcs
Naval Acnileiny.
With roforonco to tho court-martial
that is in progress at tho United States
Naval academy, writes a correspond
ent to The Sew York Mail and Express,
I liavo boon ablo to glean somo intor
ssting dolails in connection with tho
jhnrgo of hazing, upon which threo
cadets aro undergoing trial. Al
though tho proceedings aro kopt
sccrot, I liare obtained stiflicicnt in
formation concerning tho gonoral na
turo of tho facts my informant him
self being a cadet who lias boon an
oyo witness to sororal of tho indigni
ties heroin referred to.
"About half of tho fourth class," ho
said, "ontor the acadomy in May and
go on tho summer cruise. Tho other
half enter in September just boforo
the studies bocin. Tho May portion
of tho class receive, I may sny, almost
all of tho hazing, for after tho studies
bogin on Oct. 1. tho upper class men
have no time tosparo for such amuse
ments. "What ago aro tho fourth class
cadotsP"
"From 10 to 20, tho majority ho'ng
considerably under tho latter age.
Tho cruiso, however, gives tho great
opportunity for hazing inasmuch as
tlioro aro no studios oxcopt of n prac
tical nature, and tho upper class men
havo nmplo tlmo and opportunity to
annoy tho 'poor class,' as tho fourth
class men aro gonerally called."
"And how old aro their persecu
tors ?"
"Tiioy aro big strong follows of 21
and upward. Now, nltliough tho
punishment for lia.lng is dismissal,
and Oapt. Ramsay, the superintendent,
honestly tries every means to stop it,
tho uppor class mu'ii can always liud a
timo mid place beyond the oyo of an
oilicor to haze all they please."
"Hut have tho plobs no remedy?"
"No plob over reports those who
hazo him, for it is considered a point
of honor not to do so."
"Why?"
"Because, for ono reason, It Is
against the traditions of the academy.
Besides, many of tho weaker ones aro
intimidated by the fact that the iirst
and many of tho second class aro cadet
ollieors and as such havo tho power to
report all misdemeanors committed by
lower class men, and the hazen
throalon that if the plcb tolls tiioy will
got him reported at every turn by the
oadot oilicor, so that, at last, lie would
In this way got so many demerits that
ho would lose all standing In his class.
This is, of itsolf, enough to frighten
any little fellow unaccustomed to tiio
ways of tho acadomy."
"I supposo you havo had somo op
portunity of observing tho dill'orent
tonus of hazing?"
"More than I like for my own com
fort. Tim mildest form is called 'run
ning,' that is, exorcising unauthorized
authority over tho fourth class; mak
ing them address the upper class men
as 'sir' after nearly every word tiioy
uso; giving them to unUorstnnd that
fourth class cadets are no belter than
logs; not allowing thorn any privi
leges which aro thoirs by right; not
jotting thorn drink milk, a buvorage
which is furnished to all cadets in un
limited quantity; not allowing them to
attend Any of the Saturday niiilit hops;
nor permitting tlioin to uso tho gym
nasium, except, of oounw, when 'un
der instruction."
"Aro those tho worse forms of por
socutionP" "No, thoy aro the mildest. Resides
those I have mentioned, thoy force tho
fourth class cadets to do all tho hard
est and dirtiest work on tho cruiso;
using them as errand boys; borrowing
nearly everything thoy possess in tho
way of clothing and trilli's; constantly
dialling them; not allowing than to
smile in , the presence of upper class
men; prohibiting tlieui from walking
on tluk prettiest part of tho academy
grounds and forcing thorn to stand up
to attention during tho timo it pleases
thorn to veniaiu in their rooms. This
nil comes under tho head of 'running.'
Hut tho hazing on the cruisowas far
worso, ami to many a little follow who
was too weak and small to protect
himself, a literal hell upon earth."
"In what wayP"
"Hazing on the cruiso consistod of
making those plobs not on duty sing
and dance for the amusement of their
tormentors; act as servants to somo of
them; composo and write out their
seamanship exercises and make draw
ings to accompany them; lake a third
class man's place if lie (tho third
class man) had a midnight watoli at
tho wheel or on lookout; stand luimiu
sentry duty at their hammocks, so
thoy might run their errands; and
thoy, oven grossly insulted tho plobs."
"Hut what if thoy' rofusodP"
"Anyone refusing to do their bid
ding in these things would bo forced
by superior numbers to receive ono or
moro of the following punishments:
To stand on his head and in tills posi
tion slug or recite; to chew soap; to
go through a severe gymnastic drill
.for an hour at a stretch; to jump in
and out of his hammock at tv rapid
rate until too fatigued to stand, and to
take ink into his mouth. This latter 1
havo never seen, but have often heard
it threatened. Such is hazing at tho
academy. Tho liazers on tho cruiso
aro tho third class man. Hero at tho
academy both second and third class
mon indulge in hazing, but tho Iirst
olass never. If 1 were to tell an oilicor
nt tho academy what 1 have told you
ho would say it is not truo, and Hint
tlioro was no opportunity for it, but
these fellows make their opportunity,
and 1 know it to bo all gospel truth,
every word of it, for 1 have boon an
oyo. witness to ovorything 1 havo
emimoratod."
How havo you fared yoursolfP"
"I havo not boon troubled much, for,
as you can soo, I am strong enough to
take fairly good caro of myself. At
first I resisted, and doing so kopt mo

I never had the pleasure of a person
al acquaintance ot .Mr. Stephens until
110. with Mr llunter and .liidgo uamp
bell, visited my headquarters at City
Point, Va., during tho last year of tho
civil war. 1 had however known

characlerand abilitv, as well as states

though wo dill'erod so widely in maters
sulooting our common country, only
served to Increase my admiration for
tho man. As 1 uudorstaud, without
being a man of largo moans, lie devoted
lnrgoly from what ho could earn to tho
greatest good of tho greatest number.
Through him many a deserving young
man lias found the means of acquiring
a fair education to give him a start in

those who had those favors conferred
do honor to their benefactor.
in all his public utterances Mr,
Stephens impressed me as a man who
was never afraid to speak his honest
convictions, withoutrogard to whether
thoy would bo popularly received or
not. To tho day of his death I re
tained the high estimate of his lifo and

A "Washington special to The Chicago
'Junes says: Commissioner Column,
speaking of tho recent experiments by
the department oJ agriculture in ma
king sugar by tho diffusion process,
said thai he was more than satislied.
Tho experiments were begun in tho
hope that much ot tho loss now occa
sioned in the course of milling and
subsequent manufacture might be pre
vented by a change of process. It is
said not to bo an extravagant estimato
to put tho waste of sugar, either lit the
milling or the maniitaclure, at lull y
half ot all that Is produced by the soil.
To test the diffusion method, appar
atus was erected in Kansas for cutting
sorghum into thin slices, and a dlffus
ion battery of ten cells was put up to
extract the sugar. 1 ho experiments
gave a yield of 1)8 percent, of the total
sugar present, although mechanical
dtllleulties in the form ot the apparatus,
which could not lie foreseen, interfered
somewhat with tho successful working
ot tlKfprocoss 111 the matter ot economy.
These dillleulties can bo readily over
come however, and Col. Column has
no doubt that tho work can bo con
ducted more cheaply than in the Kan
sas experiments. To avoid tho loss
iiioideut to tho usual process of manu
facture, tiio process known in tho beet
sugar industry us carbonltation was
tried. The exporinioiit was conducted
under tho supervision of Mr. G. L.
Spencer, and its results were entirely
satisfactory. To the juice as it comes
from the mill, or the diffusion battery,
a largo excess of lime iu added, and
tills is afterwards precipitated by blow
ing through the mixture a current of
carbonic acid. The precipitate which
falls carries down Willi it nearly all
the impurities of tiio juicy, and leaves
them in a state suitable to easy sopa
nrtion by filtration. Tho use of litis
process entirely suppresses tho losses
from scums, and ntlords a product iu
every way superior to that given by
the old method. It was tho intention
of the department to make similar ex
periments in Louisiana, ami prepara
t ons for them wore nearly completed,
but delay In getting a part of tiio ap
paratus and the improvements sug
gested by the experiments in Kansas
suggested tho advisability of postpon
ing tho work for another year.

An Khvood, N, J,, correspondent in

Wo havo a case which goes to the
credit of tho proscribed inisquito,
which nt times is Inoomfortably abun

from Pennsylvania was sent here iu 11
very feeble condition as a last resort
by her phytlolau. The result was not
particularly encouraging till, by nu
unusual visitation of the musical in

her body accessible as to cause a pain
ful illness. When this disappeared
she rapidly recovered from llioformoi

Oct Tlielr riclures Taken.
A photographer of a fashionable
establishment was in his studio "touch
ng" a copy of a largo negative whon
x isun roportor called iu for a chat on
photography. "1'ublic tasto is improv
ed now over what it was a fow joars
ago, whon a desiro for tho sonsatioual
provailed. Tlioro is comparatively
but little of theatrical imitation nt
present. Art has dono away with
certain bad forms and tastes. Not so
very long ago somo photographers
kept iu stock sealskin sacqucs, skirts
ind other necessary adjuncts of fomalo
dress, which thoy had their patrons
put on that they might bo taken after
tho stylo of actresses'. Speaking of
ladies on the stage, they aro tho best
jlass of patrons to photograph. Thoy
bavo been pictured so often, know how
to dross artistically both their clothing
and hair, and aro willing to accept any
sensible suggestions from the artist iu
slinrgc, which is far moro titan many
moiety people will do.
"I'ho chargois frequently mado that
an actress is invariably photographed
!n truer artistic stylo than a laily in
ordinary life. This is often truo. Why?
lioeauso fashionablo folks havo ideas
that claslt with those of the photo
draper. Thoy want to follow fashion
instead of effect. Of cour.so there aro
1 limited nu 111 Dor 01 ladies, who bo

head, a hat worn to enhance that loot:
and other details which go towards
aolping tho artist to mako a good
picture.

to do personally with the photographs,

my thing, poso ns pleases them, and
thoy will bo taken artistically. This
is an orroncous impression. You may
tako a lady with a mass of winto
iround her neck, and after she is pho
rraphod, that white will detract front
the look of her face. The contrast bo
Iwcen tho stuff and the llosh tints in
.ifo are lost in tho likeness to tho det
riment of tiio facial expression. Tho
high-sleeve drosses of to-day aro ugly,
ind distort tho form. High dressing
tbout tho neck is to bo avoided for
.adies. Tho Greek stylo of hair-dross-ng,
close to tho head, rather plain in

aack of the neck, is the only sensible

jo ll'iires, waves, bangs, frizzes and
jthor devices for cranium ornamenta

graph tiioy look lidiculous and foolish
tfter tho tiiBhion has changed. A low
seek in a dross is becoming to nearly
jvory lady in a picture, for it gives a

adds as much lo tho beauty of the
likeness as a princess' dress does to
that of its fair wearor, because both
trim tho ligures and are tho proper
things to wear when a gonuino artistic
picture is needed. Amor can men as

wear tolerably highshirl collars. ' Tho
neatest nookwear of this class is tho
