Outside of the brigade they will be known as the War Department Guards. It was by no means an easy task to enlist the company exclusively from the War Department, for in that branch of the government are to be found very many who are already borne upon the rolls of the guard, including members of the general staff.’ lentenat colonel, two majors, seven captains, many lieutenants, and fully a hundred énlisted men. ‘The firs! effort resulted in failure. Factional fights ab- breviated what prommed to be a useful career, and the War Department Rifles was » memory CAPT. WILSON. long before many people were aware of its birth. The inspiration for a War Department company waa furnished by Secretary Elkins in a letter addressed to Gen. Ordway, in which the Secretary expressed his interest in and admira- tion for the District National Guard, and his strong desire to see the department properly represented therein. Over his signature ap- peals were made by a member of the Secre- tary’s staff, but, although fally forty men re- sponded, nothing was ever accomplished, Last January three gentlemen connected with the department met at the Columbia Athletic Club and determined upon the or- ganization of a company. All were enthusiastio kuardsmen and earnest workers, so it war not at all surprising that on the 11th day of Feb- ruary thirty-five men were mustered in by Col. Theodore Mosher. the adjutant general, Seven days later and there were eighteen more recruits, and the following named officers were in their respective places: Captain, Frederick T. Wilson; first lieutenant, Robert E. Wilson; second lieutenant, J.T. Fitzgerald. “Charlton AL Clark was appointed first sergeant and C. F. McDermott quartermaster sergeant. MUST HAVE ONE HUNDRED MEN.

Frederick T. Wilson, who is a native of Masaa- chusetts and whose military career commenced when he was fourteen years of age, at which time be served as an officer of the Boston High School Cadets. Later he entered the regular army aud speedily achieved promotion. For over a year he was drill sergeant xt the princi- pal recruiting depot in New York harbor: he came sergeunt major, accompanied a detach- ment of 600 recruits to Texas, und there, attruct- ing the favorabie notice of the commanding general, was detached from his regiment to be chief clerk of the military department, which Position “be held until transferred to Washington. He has astisted in the organi- n of six companies of the District National Guard and of these he commanded five. In the «pring of 1892 he resigned from the captaincy of the War Department Rities and the company immediately declined and refused to reorganize. Capt. Wilson has a national reputation as a writer on military and especially tactical subjects; his familiarity with the new drili regulations is probably great as that of any man in,or ont of the arm: ‘The National Guardsman is now publi series of articles trom his pen entitled Evolution of the Infantry Drill Regulations.” He is most popular, is a member of the Colum- bia Athletic Club and of many other social or- ganizations and is believed to be just the man for the position he has. First Lieut, Robert E. Wilson is a native of Georgia, and a son of Col. B. J. Wilson, a con- federate fighter who commanded an Alabama regiment during the war. Lieut. Wilson's first military service was with Atlanta's crack com- mand, the Gate City Guard. During his con- nection with this company he participated in four interstate prize drills, in two of which the company captured first prize and took third prize in the remaining couple. Fors year and a half he served with the National Fencibles of this city and might have been with them yet had he not been elected to fill his present posi- tion. Civil engineering was Lieut. Wilson's oc- cupation until he accepted an appointment in the War Department. He is a member of the Columbia Athletic Club, and has contributed to many of the victories of its famous foot ball team.

Sergt. Chariton M. Clark is a native of Mississippi, where he was actively engaged in journalisin ‘until the fall of 1890, when he en- tered the War Department. Testimony as to his qualification for editorial work in | Missis- sippi is borne by the fact that last vear he won a sharpshooter's cross. Sergeant Clark has em- ploved his leisure moments in reading law and will graduate from the National Law School in June next, He is secretary of his class, He inhtrits bis fondness for military matters, for his greatgrandfather was one of Virgi ‘sol- diers in the revolutionary army, while other ancient and honorable relatives figured _promi- nently in the military history of the state. He is a member of various orders in society and is an extremely popular member of the company. THE ARMORY. Members of the company, which will before the close of the summer probably be assigned to the second battalion, are especially pleased with their armory. This important essential occupies the entire sixth floor of the Ward building on D street between 9th and 10th. Seven rooms take up one hundred and forty feet of the available two hundred feet of depth, the remaining sixty-six feet being used for the drill hall. The rooms, as will be seen by ref- erence to the diagram, will be devoted respect- ively to reading, lockers, guns, officers and non- commissioned officers. ee ¥ FIRST SERGEANT CHARLTON M. CLARK. Altogether good work has been done, and the District National Guard has reason to feel prond of the company that has been added to it. Within two months a hundred men have been enhsted and not men of that character likely to be careless as to their obligation. In point of numbers itis the strongest in the guard and before long it can hardly fail to be a Teader in many other important particulara, Its officers are conversant with their duties and all of the non-commissioned officera have seen service-—First in the Washington Light Infantry; Sergt.

A dance that will long linger in the memory of those who participated was given last night at Linthicum Hall by the Junior, Assembly. The excellent music, dainty costumes and bright young faces ail about made the occasion more than a charming one, and almost as do- lightful to the onlooker as to the participater. Washington was represented by her most irre- sistible belles and gallant beaux. Among those present were Mr. George E. Cruse, Mr. Gordon Gowers, Mr. W.D. McLean, Mr. Hufty, Mr. P.K.

REAL ESTATE MATTERS, Another prominent Washington capitalist has become interested in Georgetown real estate, Mr. John Joy Edson having purchased of F. W. Pratt certatn lots in the subdivided Cooke Park. The sale of the lots at the southwest corner of 30th and Q streets was consummated yesterday by the recording of the necessary deeds in tho cave, and Mr. Joseph H. Bradley, one of the purchasers, begins in a few days the erection of three fine houses (oue with a tower), the plans having been already drawn. The property, ax heretofore stated in Tne Star, brought $1.50 a foot for five lots and $1.75 for the sixth and corner lot. The selling price was over $11,000. In “Harlem” yesterday another sale took place, J. P. Clark conveying to Geo. H. La Fetra for $2,497 lots 19, 20, 21 and 22, block 1, and for #610 lot 1, biock 1. ‘The sale of houre and premises 1237 324 street to A. C. Newman bas been consummated, as has also that of the Jackson property at the corner of Bridge street and Warchouse alley. LAND FOR A BOULEVARD. All owners of property on the line of Foun- dry branch, the route of the proposed grand boulevard, have made known their intention to donate to the projectors all necessary ground, and papers to that effect will probably be signed on Monday. The south- ern terminus of the great 100-foot drive will be near a point where Prospect street extended and Foundry branch meet. It is stated that those whe are engineering the im- provement will not wait for the District to open Prospect street west of 28th, but do so at their own expense. At private expense one square has already been opened, the builder of a row of houses having had it done. A CENTENAIAN GONE. Aunt Caroline Henson, a venerable colored women and an alleged centenarian, died at ber home on the Virginia side of the river yester- day. Aunt Caroline is said to have been a chapter of old dominion history, Like somany others of her kind, she was on” personal terms with the Washingion family and tended Marse jorge. It isqaitecertain, however, thatshe was a servant in the fansily of Lee and bad an ex- tended knowledge of many of the prominent families of old Virginia, It is suid that the aged auntio could reconnt remimiscences of famous folks by the score, and discant ou the greatness and glory of old times. She is also said to have entertained an affectionate re- membrance of her owners and to have fre- quently said that she was not so happy in her state of freedom as in her state of bondage with those she loved. THE BASS ARE RITINO. One of the most devout bass fishermen in town is Mr. Gallaher. He is an oracle in this line, and says that all reports from the head- garters of this sport aro encouraging, and at the prospects for a fishy season are bright. Several parties who have made pilgrimages to the bass waters within the past few days boast of good records, and say that the peculiar member of the finny tribe in quest of which they went appears to have an appetite and bites hard and wall, Mr. Willwm ‘MeCoy and. party returned from Great Falls yesterday and brought down some tempting evidences of success. NOTES, The work of renewing part of the Metropol- itan railroad track at the corner of Dumbarton avenue and 32d street goes merrily on. The june- tion is just now in an upside downcondition and cars often leave the rails and private vehicles meet with trouble and detention, but the im- provement is rapidly approaching completion. ‘The Emmett Arthur is in port. This craft, as before stated in Tux Srak, is to carry a lively party of Georgetown people down to the naval review and is to be commanded by Officer Banagan of this precinct. The Arthur is being overhauled and having some fittings and fur- nishings putin. Her sailing date is April 14.

It was an innovation when begun, but is now fashionable. Formerly girls were not educated, it not being sup- pored Recestary or desirable that their intel- ts should be cultivated, but it is now differ- ent, and the excellent example set is being em- ulated. it was the custom to marry the girls at the early age of about thirteen, when they were in- teliectualiy and physically immature, and they were given no voice whatever in the matter. Now, however, in districts where this education has progressed the time has been postponed several vears, and the girls have something to say in the selection of their husbands, which is decidedly an innovation over the old Turkish custom. “The change brought abont in consequence of this education of the people is very great and affects the whole character of the country and its people, producing an improvement in ail respects. ‘The improvement in the status of woman and the family is noticeably very great, especially among the better classes. “In fact, matiers have changed greatly for the betier in recent years in Lurkey, During my residence there I have seen an entire aystem of macadamized roads throughout the empire built aud many other great reforms, including | the construction of weveral railroads. In the place of the old Koranic code there now existe civil code of laws. ‘The new roads facilitate transportation im the empire, necessarily crease commerce and Turkey is advancing. The schools Ihave mentioned have the same tin!ly as ours with the necessary Sdaptations to the sarroandings. “It is astonishing how English is being spoken, not only in Turkey, but throughout the entire orient. Englich is now «poken in every town in Turkey, und sometimes there are hundreds in a single town who speak the language, aud all withina few years. ‘The life of the tmissionaries is pleasant in some respect the climate being delightful, though things ar crude and undeveloped from an American's standpoint. ‘The teachers in the schools are graduates of American colleges and as @ class are highly educated and culuvated.” Gov. Caleb W. West of Utah, who was re- appointed yesterday to his old post by Presi- dent Cleveiand, was kept busy last evening at the Riggs in receiving the congratulations of his many friends who dropped in upon him. “The old issues out in Utub,” he said to Tae Stan representatives, “of polygamy and the Mormon Church party domination have been settled by the church leaders and people de- nouncing the practice of polygamy. The church party was formally dissolved by its leaders, and its adherents have united with the two national parties. “The political conditions now obtaining ia Utah are identically the same as in other states. There is, however, in Salt Lake, Weber, Sum- mit and one or two other counties @ political organization known as the liberal party, which is composed of non-Mormon republicans and democrats, who hold to the idea that, while ad- mitting the fact that the change I ‘have men- tioned has been made, they doubt the good faith and sincerity of the Mormons in main- taining it, The result of the last congressional election, however, at which a democratic dele- gate was elected by 2.800 majority, after an earnest and hardly contested fight between the republicans, democrats and liberals, shows that there has been an actual division of the people of the territory upon national issues, and that the old local issue has gone forever. “Ail conditions exist in Utab requisite for its admission into the Union, We bave the popu- lation, the wealth, the stability and deve! ment in ail repects entitle us to statehood, and are, in fact, head of all our neighbors. Thecon- ditions whieh in the past obstructed the admis- sion have been dissipated and there is no longer excuse for postponing the advent of state- a. “Ay to the political situation Iam of opinion that the conditions are favorable for making Utah safely and firmly democratic by a wise, liberal and prudent policy. In the reguiar or- ganization of the pariy there are no dissensions or factions, but everybody is working harmoni- Ye are all eagerly looking forward to \d believe that one of the first acwe of the Fitty-third Congress will be the passage of a bill which will gratity our ambition.” In the course of an interesting chat with Lewis Baker, the newly appointed minister to Nicaragua, at the Riggs this morning Mr. Baker said to Tue Sran representative: “I fully appreciate the high honor that President Cleveland has bestowed upon me and the recognition he has given the democracy of my state in selecting me for the Central Ameri- can mission, The democrats of Minnesota have had an uphill fight for years, but they are plucky and energetic, and though suffering frequent defeat, do not know what it is to give up the fight. “Everything pointe to our ultimate success in Minnesota. We have steadily diminished the overwhelming republican majority which has obtained im that state for 80 long. Mr. Blaine carried it by 48,000, Mr. Harrison by 35,000 four years ago and by only 20,000 the last tion, which is certainly ing to the democrats.

At the last election, however, we elected two democratic Congress men, it being the first time we ever elected a democrat to Congress in the presidential year. “As the ‘of Minnesota are az- riculturists and nota mani popula- tion we are vitally affected by the tariff and are not protected. farmers for a long time have been uneasy on this question and we have not yet develoj su‘icient to break dows tho republican party I Gusk that we will do so eventually. Thirty-three per cent of the population are Norwegians, They went over to the repub- lican party at the close of the war and they are a people who have clung very tenaciously to the republican party. Knute Nelson, who was their candidate for governor, and’ who, though a republican, voted for the Mills bill, euried with him the Norwegian vote, and if had not been nominated I believe thet the democrats would have divided this vote and that tion of the tariff will to the Sp dem party.” “The selection of Louis C. Hughes for the governorship of Arizona is a wise one,” said J. 0. Dunbar, a prominent resident of Phenix, Ariz. “It will be favorably received by dem- oerats and republicans alike, for all the leading business men and those interested in develop- their greatest strength in the cities, while im Missouri it lies in the rural districts, “St, Louis is one of the very few large cities in the Union that arerepublican. The cities of St. Joseph, Hannibal, Springfield and Louie jana are also republican. We also claim Kan- sas City, althoagh my democratic friends are notaverse in putting forward claims in the same direction.” STUDENTS, Col. Cook Has Concluded His Argument tm Their Behalf. Yesterday afternoon Mr. William A. Cook, counsel for the students of Howard University who were lately expelled because of alleged misconduct. concluded his opening argument before Justice O'Neill in the suit brought by the students to prevent their ejectment. Mr. Cook clatped that the stodents bad Tented and paid for their rooms in the university buildings until May 1, without any conditions, and that they were entitled to the privileges and quarters and could except by due procs which the university had not’ seen proper to observe. fle also claimed that the overmment of the university was vested ine rd of trustees, and could not be delegated toone or more of the faculty, the powers of suspension and expulsion being lodged in the board of trustees and notin the faculty. In support of his contention Mr. Cook quoted Bumerous civil and ecclesiastical laws, all of which, he asserted, declared in the piainest terms that no one could be lawfully or rightly expelled or suspended until after speci- fic charges had been drawn, the accused acquainted with them and «fall and fair opportunity given for defense. Although such privileges and rights had been asked by the ac- cused students im the present case, said Mr, Cook, no notice whatever had been taken of the request, and the young men had been con- demned unbeard. “And yet, said Mr. Cook, the faculty of Howard University, in moral, social ‘and political audacity, called #ach proceedings justice and fair play. At the conclusion of Mr. Cook's argument the hearing was adjourned until 3 o'clock Mondaj afternoon, when Messra. A.A. Birney a (BL Fe Leighton, counsel for the university, will argue the case. — ALEXAND AL THE NEW TRIAL OF JEFFERSON PITEEIPE, ‘The new trial of Jeiferson Vhillips, indicted for the murder of George S.
