AROUND THE CAMP FIRE Incidents of Life Among the Guardsmen at the Fort. THE COMMISSARY DEPARTMENT—NIGRT INsIDE ‘TRE LINES—A STAFF OFFICER AND HIS PAJAMAS— SOME OF THE VISITORS ENTERTAINED BY THE SOLDIER BOTS. Lots of work is going on in Camp Washington, mixed up with the general fun, and if every man in camp worked as hard in the city as he does in camp he would demand a raise of salary in five seconds, There is no doubt that soldiers in the regular service earn their pay, and still at camp there is plenty of fan. Last night up to taps at 11:30 the camp was a very CLEANING UP. lively place. The number of visitors down added largely to the population and also increased the num- ber of little gatherings in certain tents, where the men would come out wiping their mouths. The Stan reporter did not understand what this but tent post could see that no stranger could get in any single company camp wituout being roped in to some tent and immediately a jingle of lasses would follow. In fact an atmosphere of ospitality surrounds Camp Washington,which @ and explains in a considerab measure the success of the District militia. Men visiting other camps are received in a lorious manner and everything possible done for them. NIGHT IN cAMP. As the last visitors were leaving camp last night and the lights began to shine through the canvas of many tents the camp was also a jeasant place. The band was playing in ite Pest manner at headquarters, while many ® song went up from the throats of the hastily formed glee clubs scattered over the camp. At the first regiment an improvised band was playing some striking music on banjos and paso consisting of tin buckets. Early rising is the order of the day at camp and it is really almost worth while to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning to see the sleepy look- ing ones turning out. The other morning at the rising call one unfortunate cavalryman was detected trying to tie his belt around his neck for a cravat. SALUTING THE PAJAMAS. Gen. Ordway’s attention will be directed this evening to the conduct of a member of his staff, who amuses himself in the gray dawn by walking around in the vicinity of headquarters clad in nothing more substantial than a $5- suit of “pajamas.” The men who do sentry duty on the headquarters post object very strenuously to being compelled to salute a man who is too lazy to put his umform on before making his matutinal trip to the medicine chest in the headquarter’s office building. This morning the sentry at headquarters ex- ecuted a very clumsy salute as the animated Pajamas passed and was promptly called to order by Aide-de-Camp Hine, whose only pro- tection against the morning air was a gauze undershirt, a pair of trousers and a couple of socks. It is only justice to state that Capt. Hine was not out for the purpose of inspecting the guard, but was hunting for a long-lost and diminutive pieceof soap. SOMETHING LIKE LAST YEAR. It looks and feels and sounds like Fort Washington now. It is once more the same old damp spot that seemed last yoar to have such a sponge-like affinity for moisture. It has had agood long course of training for this, having been ground for days into a fine search- ing dust that is now being rapidly churned into a thick, clinging mud. It is a return to the old times, but this change has not been wel comed with any noticeable degree of hilarity by the National Guard, now enjoying the de- lights of @ rainy day in camp there. There have been no parades, or celebrations, or torchlight processions to welcome the rain, bowever much it may have been needed in the adjoining counties. . A TIME FOR REST AND QUIET. Coming as it did on the heels of the Presi- dent, whose appearance here was the signal for the greatest military enthusiasm among the men, the wet weather has had a decidedly re- actionary influence. It has brought the great- est quiet to the camp, a flood of rather disa- greeable memories as well as of water. It brought back the camp fires, with their pleas- ant crackle and roar, and thus, in a negative way, made the encampment appear brighter after supper call than it has yet this year. There is another thing that the wet weather brought, and that was a day and a night of rest. Drills and parades were suspended yesterday on account of the rain and there was much joy thereat. At night the passes asked for and issued were few, as the men had little inclina- tion to make their usual excursions to River View. The consequence was that most of them hada good night's rest, aided by the drowsy. steady, disgustingly constant rat-a-tat- tat of the rain on the canvas. The rain took courage when the fires that lit up the color lines died ont, and after the moon had given ups most hopeless effort to break through the clouds, and all night long and all this morn- ing it beat down on the encampment ina seem- ing attempt to make the boys feel at home. Beyond the consequent rise inthe market of profanity there was little mental effect. VISITORS KEPT AWAY BY THE RAIN. The bad weather had a most depressing in- fluence on the attendance yesterday. Instead of the 1,000 visitors who came to see the camp Tuesday and the 700 of Wednesday there were ouly about 250 at the camp all day long. The Macalester brought down nearly three-fourths of these on her 4:30 trip, and _as the sky prom- ised no better things Capt. Blake decided to alter his schedule to suit the weather, and he held the steamer at the wharf until 8:30, when he made his only wip up the rivee. The small crowd locked very disconsola ially as the dress parade had been abandoned and there was nothing tosee but alot of damp tents fringed by scores of woe-begone militia- men. THE PONCHO APPEARS. There is still another effect of the rain. It has caused the instant and universal Feappear- ance of the rubber blanket or “poncho,” which formed such a unique, if not pictur- esque, feature of the camp landscape in ’89. ‘The poncho, be it known to the uninitiated, is a piece of rubber backed by canvas,about six feet square, furnished with eyed holes along the edges, through which tapes are laced. it ts | used for a great variety of purposes, but most | frequently just as an overcoat or cape tied i around the neck on one of the edges, the cor- ners hanging down around the knees in a Suggestive of the bandits of Italy and Spain. It is nota particularly comfortable garment, nor is it unusually effective as a waterproof, | ept when the rain happens to be coming straight down, as it persists in doing now at ‘the fort TALES OF THE FLOOD. The recent recruits are being hourly regaled with tales of the flood which descended upon the ca:np last year. As these stories have lost no emphasis or points of interest during their twelve months of hibernation the effect on the | new men, who have been calculated at about one-third of the entire command, is not alto- gether unhappy. They now seem ‘to take the moisture as a sort of heritage, a regulation ac- couterment, while the others like to swagger as veterans, This has a tendency to keep the camp cheerful, even under the dispiriting cir- cumstances visiting it now. ALL IN GOOD HEALTH. Friends of the soldier boys can rest easy as to their health, as in this regard every one is especially well fixed, Post Surgeon Leach re- ports the health of the camp as unusually good. This is not the time for malaria along the river, and in this respect the boys are for- THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., everything in eee Onn ee ee BAYARD CORROBORATES BLAINE Iv perc — lines).as -vell as it ¢: Whenever his battalion master it, OF even a ‘sergeant quartermast the: uld do great deal worse than or & ‘Tuesday Lieut, quartermaster of the fourth ter. ¥ ‘day repens! id rags I ~=4 re fell wy ‘esterdap the an Re ted ae him the vacancy. liams, act battalion, was ter Surguy of the second bat today the duties are bei termaster Parsons of the well.

Capt. Yates nat- urally feels annoyed at the loose manner in which his name has been used. THE COMMISEARY DEPARTMENT. Some malcontents have industriously attempted to slander the commissary of the camp. None of these attacks are made openly in the camp; they are poured into the ears of those who re either ignorant of the true condition of \ffairs or have wil- ully conspired to de- fame men who have allin their power to give the guardsmen CAVALRY MEDICINE. good, well-cooked food and plenty of it. And notonly have the commissary officers tried to do all this—a most dificult undertaking—but they have succeeded in every way. Daylight has, invariably found Commissary Sergeant Neumeyer and Staff Sergeant Corvaizier hard at work in the mess sheds. Commuirsary General MeIntvro has had less of the active toil than he had last year, but if any one imagines that he has not worrted his brain planning and see- ing that things would run smoothly that person is egregiously in error. None but the best quality of food supplies have been pur- aed” Ml sentaes carefully inspected and nothing has fall below the standard. The cooking has been personally and actively supervised by Mr. Smith Wormley. The serv- ing of the meals has also been watched over by him, and as much attention has been paid to the soldiers by the waiters as is given guests in the best hotel in the country. Acareful inquisition by members of Tux Srax staff fails to reveal in all the camp a single case of neglect on the part of commis- sary officers. On the other hand, there have been hundreds of unsolicited testimonials as to the excellent way in which meals are being d A “CHARLOTTE CoRDAY.” Alongside of the gateway through which ad- ission to the interior of the fort is had are sone of the most massive specimens of brick we ever laid by artisan. The plaster has fallen from the ceiling in many places and the rooms are dilapidated in pretty nearly all that that word implies. These are the guard rooms, The apartment nearest the river side of the fort is the guard room and within it are two cells. Here the extremely small number of too festive militiamen have been confined until they were fully sober. From here two of them, with buttons cut off their coats and with ‘“dis- honorably discharged” written after their names on the company roster, have been sent to their homes. As with everything else these prisoners have been objects from which their comrades extracted more or less tun. The un- fortunates have all been dubbed ‘Charlotte Cordays,” aud the title is really a fitting one. for the semi-sober prisoners look onginely through the bars at the mess sheds and wis! very devoutly that ‘that last drink” had never been taken. SOME OF THE GUESTS. A great many visitors who might reasonably have been expected have been cut off from camp by the rain. On an ordinarily fine even- a ing the company streets would be pretty thickly S“\aotted with those who ad personal friends in the guard, while up and down the color line and A VISITOR. along the road the crowd was not small. Some of the visitors have been people of distinction, but none of them were accorded a more reverent and cor- dial welcome than the infant child of Lieut. Gus. Forsberg. Mrs. Forsberg brought the pretty little thing down, and when it fell asleep she laid it on the lieutenant’s cot. Here it was seen and admired by a large number of sol- diers and civilians. Real pretty babies have been scarce in camp. Capt. W. L. Cash, inspector of rifle practice for the first regiment, entertained a party of distinguished frieuds the other evening who were escorted down by Mrs. Cash. The party was composed of Representative Barwig of Wisconsin, Mra, Barwig and Mr. Byron Bar- wig, Representative Brickner of Wisconsin, Mrs. Brickner and the two Misses Brickner. Among the many who have been heartily welcomed to Camp Washington none had more invitations to make themselves at home than Mr. Jobn Cowie, chief clerk of the ‘Treasury secret service. Mr. Cowie was for many years 4 prominent member of the Washington Light Infantry Corps, and when he severed his con- nection with the National Guard was captain of company A, first battalion, a SUPPOSED TO HAVE ELOPED. A Married Man and a Fifteen-Year- Old Girl Missing. ‘The court at Cambridge, Md., was asked yes- terday to declare Charles A. Ellis an abscond- ing debtor, he having left the county owing for goods purchased, as well as large amount of borrowed money. Wednesday he left the city after telling his wife that he would be gone several days on business; but yesterday he was tyle | seen at Williamsburg in company with Nellic,* the fifteen-year-old daughter of a man named Mills, who is a tenant on Ellis’ farm, and the inference is that she has eloped with Ellis.

Count Pappenheim’s Marriage Re- garded as a Mesalliance. A dispatch from Munich says: The prince re- gent has repeatedly refused to look upon the marriage of Count Pappenheim to Miss Wheeler other than as an illegitimate alliance. There- fore the count has ceded his hereditary rights to his younger brother, Louis, though he has contracted to pay off the mortgages on the family property, now under public administra- tion, by annually contributing 600,000 marks from his wife's dowry. ‘The refusal of the prince regent to recognize Miss Wheeler as Count Pappenheim’s wife is not based upon any personal objection to the Philadelphia young lady, but merely because of the Bavarian law that a nobleman cannot contract a legitimate marriage with an untitled lady. Wheeler, being an American. of course did not possess a title before her mar- riage to Pappenheim. Her children, although | they will be known as Counts and Countess | of Pappenheim, will not be recognized as be- | longing to the élder branch of the family and | will be deprived of such honors and privileges as constitute the birthright of the elder branches of Bavarian nobility. bart rea THE SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION. The Gun Which Sunk the Alabama Injures the Captain. A grand drill of the men from the ships of the United States squadron of evolution took place at Stow's Park, Bar Harbor, yesterday afternoon, about 700 men participating. While practicing with heavy guns outside Wednes- day an accident occurred on the Kearsarge. ; The same gun which sunk the Alabama was the offender. After discharging a shell weigh- ing 180 pounds it turned, striking the captain of the gun in the temple, making a severe wound, ‘The man was carried to the hospital on aed ship. The firing continued till 6 o’eloc!

Action to Recover $50,000 Damages for Conspiracy. Suit was entered late yesterday afternoon in Boston by Rev. W. W. Downs, the deposed pas- tor of Bowdoin Square Baptist Church, against Joseph Story, Sidney A. Wilbur, Dr. George E. Stackpole, Dr. Rufus K. Noyes, Abbie Camp- bell and Fred J. Taber to recover 250,000 from the defendants for alleged conspiracy to con- vict Pastor Downs of the crime of immorality. Thi new phase of the Downs-Tuber scan- dal, which for nearly five years has been the talk of Boston. The defendantsare the prosecutors of Downs, who was charged with criminal intimacy with | ad Mrs. Taber, then a member of his flock. je was found at midnight one night in her room insufficiently attired, and his defense at the trial was that he had been praying with her, and it being warm, he had removed his coat and vest. He also claimed that he was strapping a trunk, which Mrs. Taber had packed that night, preparatory to leaving her husband, who has since obtained a divorce. Downs’ counsel in previous cases has been Gen, Butler, vut this writ was brought by W. H. Baker. The writ is returnable on the first Monday in September, aud Lawyer Baker promises that when the case is tried he will make a sensation in circles not heretofore affected by numerous phases of the Downs case. Rev. Mr. Downs has of late been writing edi- torials for the Boston Herald. He continues to preach spasmodically, and occasionally marries @ couple, the last wedding he performed being that of the balloon excursionists at Lowell. He says the charges he has prepared would impli- cate every Baptist mimster of prominence in Boston. For a year he has had men employed gathering evidence, and the documents and papers in the case will make 1,200 pages. ‘The material he has collected reiting to Baptist preachers and laymen and their misconduct with young women and other people's wives, he says, will create a great sensation. —— Prohibitionists for Congress.

The steamer Yemassee arrived in New York the other day from Jacksonville, Fla., with a cargo of curiosities that will probably excite some interest at Coney Island, where they will soon be exhibited. The cargo includes a family of twenty-seven alligators. The patriarch of the family is eleven feet long and of an ex- ceedingly vicious disposition. There are also an unhappy couple whose respective lengths are seven andsix feet. The remaining mem- bers of the family are frisky young ones. The Patriarch was captured in the swamps of lorida after a desperate struggle. and his owner says that the big ‘gator thumped a hole three feet deop in the ground with his tail be- fore he was securely bound. The patriarch’s wrath was bottled up, so to speak, by big ropes and’ a muzzle. But he managed to break loose from his box on the voyage, through the indiscretion of Mr. and Mrs, Alligator, who had a box near him. Once or twice the patriarch showed an inclination to eat Mr. Alligator and Mrs. Alligator made mat- ters worse by nipping the putriarch’s logs, which enraged the old gentleman, so much once that he broke his bonds, He then made for his neighbor's compartment. , Mr. Alligator prepared for the attack by retreating to tho end of his box and opening his mouth. The atriarch instantly bit off half of Mr. Alliga- os upper jaw at one snap, slapped Mra. Alli- gator’s face with his tail and sauntered home, Alligator retired to her corner and said something sarcastic to her mate, to the effect that it was not only women who opened their mouths at the wrong time. Mr. Alligator suf- fered more than he ever did from the tooth- ache, but the wound will probably heal and he will figure as @ half-jawed ‘gator. He can already eat again. Richard L.

In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without am equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on exch Monday in the year, and condensed jo | fom the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1839, published in Tux Srax on the 18th of January, 1890, Briefly stated, the pointe upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the cireu- jation of any other paper in Washing- ton! | 2, Whe Star's circniation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other datly Papers published in the city added to- | wether!! 3. Whe Star bas a Jarger and frlice circulation in the city where printed, im propertion to reading and purchas: | ing population, than any other news | paper im the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest regular and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper in the ted States !1!! In support of these claims and to show the coustantly increasing circulatron of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: BAILY CIRCULATION Ix 1885-86-87-88-89, ISS3. I8S6. INS7. 1885, SSB, JaN...20,456 23,388 23,470 26,386 27,541 29,200 Fes...22,029 24,321 26,299 27,161 APR...22,572 24,727 25,575 27,166 MaY. 22,474 24,359 25,742 26,722 ICNE..21,933 23,902 23,116 27,453 JULY..21,406 23,186 24.870 26,363 AUG.. 21,445 22,364 24.559 25,521 DsC...23,000 24,687 26,466 26,752 Av'ge.22,123 23,682 25,484 27,082 30,090 Increase ....... 1,559 1,803 1,598 3,008 Of this remarkable average aggregate of 80,090 copies circulated daily, no more than 1,102 copies are sent out of the city by mail, and 1,106 go to suburban places, by express, railway traius, etc., leaving as a net circulation a the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO- PORTION of 92% PER CENT, or AN AGGRE- GATE of 27,882 copies! Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- ecribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per- Manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula ton may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tae Stan a distinctine and enviable Position in modern journalism, the fallness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur- | chasing portion of the community, are | the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a paralle! This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF KEW ADVERTISEMANTS FRINTED Tt 1885 86-87 -S8-AB. 1886. 1887. 3,200 3,615 3,064 3,847 3,506 4,669 4,355 5,478 4,197 5,395 3,938 4,522 3.235 3,380 2582 3.170 4,517 5,313 5,038 5,093 1889. 4.586 4,520 3.494 S888 63S 3.529 4.483 4.604 5.589 6.559 6,107 3,793 188s. 4,076 3,924 4.003 4,956 S.a70 4,606 3015, 3.508 4,904 541d 4.689 4,208 4,879 4,250 3,596 5,007 TOTAL $1,499 45,910 54,03S 54,801 65,523 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertise: ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columms, or 9223 columns im the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious yearof 1444 columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing ‘in the way of tax sales, poll Lists, election returns, @tc., such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included in its petrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, m proportion to the extent and high charactet of its circulation, Tax Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, thet every statement hereia ‘made can be abundantly verified THE CIR- CULATION OF THE PAPER I8 SWORN TQ; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARB OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING AN INTEREST IN THEIR EXAMINATION.
