2 —— THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D C. SATURDAY, JULY 22. 1893—SIXTEEN PAGES. THE NATIONAL GUARD General Preparations Being Made for Company Camps. THE ENGINEERS ARE BUSY.) Pennsylvania and the District Will Be at Sea Girt. NEW YORK UNDECIDED. RY FEW OF THE companies in the Dis- trict National Guard but will go into camp for periods ranging from one week to two or three, and so far as heard from none of them have selected Chicago as the place in which to enjoy their annual outing. Six months ago end the 5 sentiment in the guard ‘was simost unanimously favorable to sn en- esmpment in the immediate vicinity of the world’s fair, but the failure of the Illinois guardsmen to carry out their plans for an enor- mous military camp fell to the ground, and it was not until recently that a Chicago business man offered to care for: at a reasonable figure, troops t might visit exposition. Had his oder been made known some two or three months sooner the chances are that 500 or 600 men, organized into @ provisional regi- ment, would probaoly hai Chicago peo- ple and Chicago's visitors a chance to see what the local brigade looked like, but in the absence of a definite proposition the battalions and companies have figured things out to suit themselves and wifl soon be scattered over a Iarge expanse of adjacent territory. Some will goto the some to the mountains, while others will be ‘found on the banks of the Potomac. Most of them will pay considerable attention to extended order maneuvers, and, to make the work more interestingly realistic, will be supplied with a sufficiency of blank’ car- tridges. In times past several of the compe- nies have been supplied with bail cartridge for rifle practice, but the general commanding hes | not to permit any rifle practice in the —— Kone ap Only Lahn i Instances t, and not one time in ten would there » 8 surgeon within reach should there be iy eabualtics.

New York Seems Apathetic. Will the state of New York be represented by team im the matches of the tional Rifle | ance of Capt. Averill, who is one of Prof. Fava’s assistants in the engineering department | of the Corcoran Scientific School. The company will pitch its tents upon Camp | Hill at the Summit House. It is expected that | about thirty-five of the company will go to camp, and the outlook is most promising for a happy combination of instruction and pleasure. Enough of the “Cracks” Will Ke There. Ifa man isin search of information about | himself he should go away from home to find it. ATrenton dispatch to tke Philadelphia Press says of the Sea Girt meeting that “in the interstate rifle contest, given under the auspices of the New Jersey Rifle Association, the District of Columbia will have teams from the first and second regiments, battalion, engineer corps and t! company or last winter. havea Disteict team in for the interstate and Hilton trophies. The sixth, thirteenth and six- teenth ents, National Guard of Pennsyl- vania, are ex to send regimental teams, from whom a state team will be selected for the interstate and Hilton. ho twenty-third | andseventy-first regiments of New York are also likely to send teams.” The information | may be absolutely correct in its details as to the other folks, but no one here seems to have heard anything of a team from the third se} rate company. Bat there will be a su 0 | number ‘of the District boys at Sea Girt to keep the other contestants guessing until the competitions are over. | Brigade rifle team practice is proceeding siowly, but surely. There has been trouble | with the ammunition, but the chances are that the trouble is all over, for a new supply of the | best cartridges that are available is now on its way and will be used hereafter. Owing to the fact that the last three practice days have been | almost entirely experimental, the scores made | on those occasions are alittle less than mod- rately good, but with the shooting material tis to be used from this time forth big | totals are looked for. During the past week | Private Carleton of the engineer corps has been practicing with the team detachment, the excellence of bis voluntary practice scores hav- ing attracted the attention it deserved. The team will shoot together but six days more be- fore it leaves tor Sea Girt. The day for de- we has not been definitely fixed as yet, ut. the probabilities are that the little crowd of sharpshooters will leave on Saturday, August 12. The meeting opens on Monday, August 14. Capt. Tomlinson, company B, sixth battalion, the proud commanding officer of 8 company that is composed excinsively of sharpshooters d marksmen, expects to organize 4 team which will go with the brigade and regimental teams. The Sixth is Ahead. Battalion rifle practice has so far been very good, the attendance generally being several per cent above that which was looked for and the shooting very satisfactory in point of qual ity. For excellence of scores the sixth battal- ion, which was on the range Wednesday, is con- siderably ahead, : Last night t# Washington Light Infantry Corps helda special meeting st their armory and decided to camp at Atlantic City, from », After the meeting had adjourned more than the requisite number signified their intention of spending their vacation in tents by the sea. Then Maj. Ross issued an order calling « meet- ing of battalion for Wednesday evening nextto make arrangements for the encamp- ment. It is expected thata large number of honorary members and friends of the corps will go with them to Atlantic City. At Center Market Armory last night com- pany C of the engineer corps gave an exhibi- tion saber drill, the men wearing the regula- tion blue blouse and white duck trousers.

Story of a Dainty Cinderella Slipper That Was Lost. PERSONAL MENTION. — Correspondence of The Fvening Star. Amtaytic Crry, July 21, 1893. TLANTIC CITY HAS experienced this week the hottest weather Known in years. The week has been notable also for one of the severest storms of the season. The wind struck the island at the inlet and played havoc with everything in ite track. ‘The new bicycie pavil- fon was blown down and carried out to sea, The big toboggan slide at the casino was demolished, only a few posts being left standing. The cot tage of Mr. George Parker on Fulsomavenue was blown from its foundation, and the base ball park fence was laid fiat, to the great delight of the small boy. Schlecht & Mehrer’s pavilion, which is glass inelosed, had all the panes blown to pieces, and many of the chairs took wings Yo their legs and gumboled off to sea. Capt. Horner's yacht, Minerva, was out at sea when the storm came up. He ed three very peculiar clouds scudding across the horizon and made all apeed to get in, but the clouds came together suddenly and the wind blew such a gale as to keep the Minerva out. ‘There were twenty people on board of her and ‘they were all as scared as they ever will be in their lives when she lay over on her beam’s end and almost went down. wind stopped diowing as suddenty as it came and all danger from that source was over. Capt. Horner rescued two boys who were out in a sinking boat. The Minerva lost her wheel box, but was otherwise uninjured. oi ie Brigantine was badly dam- was a ing the wharf when the wind came up, driving her agaiast the per and smashing pilot house and railing. Many women fainted and men grabbed life Preservers, but there was no need for them, as the vessel righted herself and was soon made fast to her landing. I hope we will have no more such storms this summer, though the spectacle from the beach, looking out over the writhing waters and theinky clonds tha: to envelope the whole earth, as in a pall, is awe inspiring and magnificent, though it strikes terror to your heart. A Cinderela Stipper. And now let's talk of something more cheery —s story about a dainty little Cinderella who lost her slipper at the hop on thé pier Friday night. It was a dear little slipper and was sus- pended over the pier entrance all day Sunday waiting for its owner. Everybody who went by the pier, and there were thousands of overy- body, enw that little slipper, and no little gossip was occasioned. It was the talk of the prome- nade. Finally the ‘owner came up to ier accompanted by three other girls, and all four asked in one voice for the truant shoe, so that theowner might not be picked out. But I Know who she is, and she is as pretty a girl as you want to see on a summer's day. Her name is Miss Alice Neilson, and she is the heroine of the day. ‘The children’s parties at the mansion have been very pretty and unique. We have had a Donbon party where bonbons and cofserves were distributed among the small dancers; then a Japanese party, at which Japaneso curios, toys and novelties took the place of the Donbons; then the scissors party, and Thurs- day night a doll party, the quaintest of all. ‘There was an enormous shoe, twelve feet high, with one little git! dressed as an old woman, and about fifty children of all mizes inside and ‘out- side the shoe, climbing up and down and cree ing in and out of the holes in the toe. All girls who took part in the march were given presents of dolls* little and dolls big, and all kinds of dolls, to the delight of their mali hearts, The fancy dancing was very pretty—one little tot who bad come expecting to dance forgot ber sippers and she sat down very ditconsolately, a diminu- tive wall flower. beside me. I asked’ the child why she wasn't dancing. “I fordot my slip- pers,” she said, and her little lip quivered. “T'm awfal sorry I fordot my sippers I want to dance sg much, I wis I had my sippers.” Another hittle bit ofa girl whocould not have been more than six years old was announced to dance alone; she walked out to the center of the floor and made a little courtesy, then another, and fordot the rest,” and, turning, her mamma amid the applause of the audience. Adantle City seems to be an especialy favor- ite resort with the theatrical world. | “Milton Aburn, the opera comedian, on the spur of the moment went out in a sailboat with Mr, Young after drum fish, Mr. Aburo had been bathing id did not stop to change his suit, but Jumped in the boat in hie wet cos- tume and sailed away. He was just thinking how blue the sea was and bow yellow the sun- shine and how soft the breezes, when an ocean swell lifted the boat alittle and Mr. Aburn was seized with a seasiokness that took all the color out of him, even his suit, and far outshone all of bis previous attempts on the stage to de; the woes and miseries of a seasick man.

Ban Hannon, Mr., July 20, 1893. ‘The remoteness of Bar Harbor from the busi- ness centers of the country is one of its greatest aitractions, It is a little world of iteoif, and ite occupants, during the summer season, are per- haps the most exclusive of the hundreds of wife, | thousands of Americans who fly to the coast at the approach of hot weather.

One was the sale at auction of the large build- ing site at the southwest corner of Rhode Island avenue and 17th street, hasing frontage of 54 feet on Rhode Island avenue and 120 feet on 17th street. The price paid was $408 per square foot. ‘The other sale was of a building lot on 18th atreet just south of Massachusettsavenue. The lot has a frontage of 25 feet and a depth of something over 100 feet, and the price agreed upon was $3.50 per square foot. A New Theater Project. There has been ample provision made during the present summer for the entertainment of t | that section of the public which is fond of the recreation afforded by the theater, and it is probabie that if the plans now under considera- tion are carried out the attractions in this line in this city will receive a notable addition. A site has been selected for the new place of amusement, which will not be too far away from the center of the city and yet will be convenient to the residence sections. It is thought that the location will be central, and it is the in- tention to so design the building that it oan especially adapted for summer entertainments. In some respects the new buil [, 88 BOW pro~ posed, will resemble the New York Casino, and will have a stage erected on the roof, where, far above the heat of the asphalt pavements, the tired citizen can enjoy s performance and at tho same time sip cooling liquids which are supposed to be tho thing for the warm weather. In the winter the sf in the lower part of the building can used,and so the house will bein demand all the year around. This sammer more has been donein the theatrical line for the members of that large organization known as the stay-at-home club than ever before and the club has no doubt evinced its gratitude by patror of this entorpt It is said that the men bac! have plenty of money, and therefore the ability le. The it is said to carry out the scheme in good sty location calls for a good building, and that it is the intention to erect something that will have an architectural merit, Now that “2 many have come back from the world’s fair. filed with admiration of the besatiful uildings collected there, it will be necessary for thove who have the charge of public build- ings to strive after a high grade of architecture in order to satisfy the improved public taste which, of course, will be the practical result of this contact with artistic work, Extension of Connecticut Avenue. ‘The hearing which the Commissioners gave to those who wished to have their say in regard to the question of whether Connecticut avenue should be extended in astraight line beyond the ‘old municipal limits or should ba deflected did not bring out anything new in regard to a subject that hns been before the people of the District and Congress for a number of years past. There are those who consider that their pri- interests will be injured by a straight ex- tension of that avenue, ané the same course of reasoning can be made to apply to the exten- sion of practically all the strects of the city. If the opinien is general that the future inter- ests of the city would be best sulserved by abandoning the present plan of the city in reference to the suburbs and the adoption of some other plan, then the present law needs to be radically changed. In bill ite purpose is described as the streets of the city, Former legislation, ‘h as the law which bas been in operation since 1888, contemplates the same purpose, and the general verdict of the world has united in admiration and commendation of the way in which this city is lad out. It is evidently the spirit as well as the inten- tion of the law that the plan of the city should be applied to tho suburbs, as no deviation is allowed in the extension of the streets from the plan of thé city, except such as may seem, in the discretion of’ the Coutaisslomers, necosstry. If the streets of the city are to be extended on the basis of such a law, then there can be no favoritism shown and a certain set of property holders favored while in other sections the law is opforced. There is no intention of the Com- missioners, as far as known, to execute the law in such a fashion, and it ia understood that they are in favor of tho straight extension of Con- necticut avenue and of every other street and avenue as far as practicable. The plan or map showing the linos of the ex- tension of the streets into the suburbs, which | is being prepared at the District office’ under the direction of the Commissioners, is practi- cally completed, and will then be submitted to the commission, as required by law, consisting of the Secretaries of War and of the Interior and the chief of engineers of the army. The approval of this commission must be secured before the plan can be carried out. ‘The New St. Matthew's. It is expected that the work of erecting the new church edifice for $t. Matthew's parish on the site on Rhode Island avenue just east of Connecticut avenue will be begun in the course of a few weeks, The ceremonies connected with the laying of the corner stone will be held about the Ist of October. As has been stated the new structure will be in the form of » cross witha large dome. The exterior and interior iil be of marble. It is probable that the tran- pt and dome will be erected at this time and the rest of the building Inter. The transept and dome will seat as many as the present church, When the entire church is finished according to the plans now being prepared by Messrs. Heins & La Farge of New York it will be an attractive building. Some New Bulldings, Building operations are practically at a stand still, and but five permits to erect new dwell- ings have been issued since the 15th instant. George G. Harvey is building eleven brick dwellinge on Maryland avenue near 1ith street southwest. Four of the houses will be three stories and basement, six will be two stories and basement and one will be two stories in height. P. N. Dwyer in the architect and W. 8. Jones is the builder.

Much road riding is not being done now by the members of the Georgetown Cycle Club, as they are devoting most of their time to the nivereary celebration at Glen Echo on Friday, the 28th instant. The celebration is the largest thing ever attempted by any single clab in this city, and is to consist of # musical and literary bition of fancy triek bicycle riding in the large amphitheater at Glen Echo, followed by a danc: in Philosophy Hall. Everything free and all wheelmen and their friends are cordi- ly invited. Printed invitations to the num- ber of 6,000, which is the seating capacity of the amphitheater, have been issued, and it is expected that at jeast 4,000 guests will be in at- tendance. Ample transportation facilities have been provided, arrangements having been made with all the car and stage coach lines to have extra conveyances in readiness for those attending. A rau of the club bas been called for tomor- row to Glen Echo, where a meeting will be held and all arrangements completed.
