They would have the church train the conscience, and then leave it to the individual to decile what amusements he would choos2. Methodists who have watched suc- cessive attempts to change the rule say the issue is sharply drawn in circles which the general public might expect to support the change.

By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Maj. Gen. Adolphus W. Greely, who for some years was the chief of the signal corps of the United States army, lives in the clity of Washington with his family. When General Greely was made a major general he relieved a Kansas soldler. Frederick Funston, as commanding general of the Pacific division of the United States army. It was then that General Greely entered upon the ac- tive command of troops of the line for the first time in twenty years, for the highest rank of line command which he ever before held was that of a cap- tain of cavalry. < : - At the West Point dinner the other night General Greely, who was @& graduate, was one of the guests of honor. There was a little feeling ex- isting in the army when Greely was given a high rank, which some of the officers felt ought to have been given to another who had been with troops actively in the field for the major part of his service, but this feeling long ago subsided and thegeneral is an ex- ceedingly popular officer with all branches of the service. It is known that General Greely's transfer and promotion were given him as a reward for the hardships which he underwent in the early '80s while conducting a polar expedi- tion. General Greely was in Washing- ton during most of his service as & signal officer, and for much of the time Lis near neighbor was Rear Ad- miral Winfleld Scott Schley, who went north and rescued Greely and his party when they were on the point of perishing. . Trying Posltion for a Soldler. General Greely was once placed In one of the most trying positions which ever fell to the lot of a soldier, and there are few men who would have cared to undertake the responsibility, which at that time Greely, as a cap- tain, shouldered. With his men he was at the point of dying from starva- tion in the arctic regions. There was left barely enmough food to stave off death for a week. The rations per man were cut down to little more than 2 mouthful given out once every twen- ty-four hours. A soldler of the command was caught stealing food. In the hope of saving his own life, he was willing that his comrades should perish. The situation was one requiring the stern- est measures. Greely knew from his own experience the awful temptation under which the starving soldiers had fallen, for the meager ration of the men was the meager ration of the commanding officer. Greely walked apart from his men into the solitudes. He came back and ordered a court-martial, in which the enlisted men participated with the commanding officer. Unanimously a verdict of death was voted for the man who was willing to save himself at the cost of the sacrifice of others. Four men were detalled for the exe- cution of the culprit. Four guns were loaded, two with blank cartridges and two with ball cartridges. The con- victed one was killed, but unless the heavier recofl of the two rifles told the story, the executioners do not know to this day which of them it was who fired the shots that brought death to one who had been their comrade. City Full of Bridal Couples. Washington at this time of year is full of visitors, and it would seem that about ten per cent. of them are brides and grooms. Washington usu- ally refers to the latter as “B’s and G’s,”” and has come to take only pass- ing interest in them because they have been so numerous through the years that they have lost thelr novelty. Every year there comes to Wash- ington from the south what is known as the “April Cupid Special.” It is & train which carries five or six hundred sighteeers from various parts of the state of Virginia. Among them are newly-married couples in scores, while there are other scores who wish the novelty of a wedding at the capital and seek out the license bureau in the city hall as soon as they get here and then hie straight to the house of some clergyman, who ‘makes. the various twains ones. This 1s the time of the year when the rubber-neck wagons and the guides reap their harvest. The brides all want to see the room in which the White House weddings of the past cen- tury have taken place. There have been a good many weddings in the White House, some of them dating back to the time of Madison. One president of the United States was married in the White House, Grover Cleveland. There was a8 wedding during the Me- Kinley administration, that of the niece of Mr. McKinley to the man of her choice. The Grant-Sartoris wed- ding at the time General Grant was president and the Roosevelt-Long- worth wedding when Colonel Roose- velt was president were the two big- gest affairs of the kind which the ‘White House has ever seen. The East Room almost invariably has been chosen for the nupti: i Innovation in Wedding Ceremony. An unusual departure in fashion ble wedding ararngements was taken -at the recent marriage of a Boston girl, when her mother acted as bes{ man and escorted the groom to the altar, although in all other respects the detalls of the wedding were quite eonventional, Fatal German Gramm: .

Supervisor of Capital Clty’'s Play- ground Association Makes An- nouncement of Plans to Or- ganize “Camp Fire Girlg.” “The Camp Fire Girls” is the name of & new natianal organization, which is to be launched in ‘Washington in connection with the two-day institute of local playground and Boy Scout work- ers. Announcemen t that the plans have been com- pleted for bring- Ing the new order into existence, which is to be an organization simi- lar to that of the Boy Scouts, was made by Edgar S. Martin, supervisor of the Washington_ Playgrounds asso- clation. Dr. Luther . Halsey Gulick, head of the department of child hy- Blene of the Russell Sage foundation, Is back of the undertaking, Incorpor- atlon is to be_had under the laws of the District of Columbla. Although the organization is to be started In Washington, its headquar- ters will be in New :York. An effort will be made, however, to give Wash- Ington the distinction of - possessing the parent chapter. It is said to be probable that the first president of the national body will be Mrs. Luther Halsey Gulick. 5 - Detalls of the object sought in the organization of the Camp Fire Girls Rre not given out, aithough it is sald that a constitution and by-laws al- ready have been prepared and that everything is in readiness for com- mencing an active campaign for mem- bership. Girls between the ages of ten and twenty .will be eligible to be- long to the order, it is announced. The organization of the Camp Fire Girls is. but one of a number of impor- tant matters which are to be discussed At the Institute. Several distinguished speakers will address the - institute, among them be- Ing Doctor Gulick, Lee F. Hammer of New York, also of the Russell Sage foundation; Mrs. Charles H..Israel of New York, representing the Play- grounds and Recreation assoclation of America, and Mys. James J. Storrow of Boston. b o 3 Major Charles Lynch of the Amerl- ran Red Cross will address the insti- lute relative to the Red Croes con: gress, which s to be held in Wash- Ington May 7 to 17. It is probable that arrangements will be made for a emonstration by Boy Scouts in con- section with the congress. The Overwrought Nerves.

And that was over ) trivial incldent at the .last White House reception, Archie was intro- fucing the 1,500 or more guests to the president as rapldly as they marched long to the proper doorway and whis- pered their names. At ‘one stage of the proceedings his attention was dis- fracted by something in a room ahead, ind just then the next man in the re- seption llne announced himseif in a low_tone as “the emperor of China.” Now, Archie Butt knew well enough jhat the emperor of China hadn’t been Invited and wasn't. even in town, or he ~ould have seen it in the papers. Yet the sudden varlation from the routine sames he had been listenirig to was like throwing a wrench into his men- tal machinery, and the wheels sudden- y stopped. They wouldn’t turn again for about three seconds and a half, luring which time Archie stared dlankly into the face of his friend Representative Gardner of Massa-: thusetts, who had rogulshly pulled the Httle joke. gowned second best admitted it.” JUST READY TO DROP ‘When you are “just ready to drop,”’ when you feel so weak that you can ‘hardly draw yourself about and ve- cause you have not slept well, you get up as tired out next morning as when you went to bed, then you need help right away. Miss Lena Dumas writes from Ma- lone, N. Y., saying: “I was in a bad- ly run down condition for several weeks but two bottles of Vinol put me on my feet again and made me strong and well. Vinol has done me more good than all the other medi- cine I ever took.” If the careworn, haggard men and women, the pale, sickly children and feeble old folks around here would follow Miss Dumas’ example, they, too, would soon be able to say that Vinol, our delicfous cod liver and iron remedy, has built them up and made them strong. It is a wonderfully strengthening and invigorating body-builder, and we sell it under an iron-clad guar- antee of satisfaction. You get your money back if Vinol does not help you.
