Changes Being Made in the First Regiment Staff. NEWS AROUND THE ARMORIES More than a little popular interest nas been manifested in the street-riot drills which have been announced to take place on Thanksgiving day in the morning, and it is quite probable that Col. W. G. Moore and Lieut.Col.M.E.Urell will find the maneuvers of the first and second regiments, respective- ly, hampered by the multitude of spectators which will surely be attracted to the vicin- ities in which the two commands will drill. Just what streets will be selected as most suitable for the purposes in view is at pres- ent unknown to any other than the regi- mental commanders and they will probably Keep the information to chemselves. ‘The few preliminary arrangements necessary { are being attended to nd by Monday or Tuesday every officer will know what is ex- pected of him. ‘The hours of assembly will be announced at the earliest possible mo- ment, as will also several other interesting facts. Somehow or other the idea has gone abroad that both regiments would drill at the same time and place; they will not. | Col. Moore will take the first wherever he sees fit and Lieut. Col. Urell, who, in the absence of Col. Clay will command the sec- ond, is at liberty to do the same thing. In the letter sent by Gen. Ordway to. the regimental commanders he sald: “It is suggested that you fix an early hour in the forenoon for the drill, so that the men may be dismissed and reach their homes before their usual dinner hour, and thereby interfere as little as possible with theirs holiday. “It is further suggested that for the pur- poses of the proposed instruction you con- solidate your regiment into a battalion of four companies, but require all officers temporarily thrown out by such consolida- tion to attend as supernumeraries, in order that they may have the benefit of the in- struction, “It is also suggested that you select some street for the drill in which your instruc- tion will be as little interfered with by ve- hicles and spectators as possible. = “The street-riot drill, as prescribed in G. { ‘0. 11, series 1892, will be followed instead | of that laid down in the United States drill book, and it is suggested that you imme-} diately notify the officers of your command so that they ave opportunity to pre- pare themselves before the drill occurs.” The novel formations that pertain to street-riot drill are exceedingly popular | with National Guardsmen in other cities. Here none of the commands have done much more than study the tactics from the | theoretical end, but now comes an excellent opportunity to’ apply the ce. There is every Indication of a big turn-out on Thurs- day “morning. Good Material to Chew Upen, In his letter as to the riot drill Gen. Orad- way says several things that should receive immediate consideration and that will prob- ably resuit in a growth of healthy rivalry between the two regiments. The general calls the attention of the colonels to the} fact “that, although regulations have long | been in force to make 4 rapid assembly of the command possible, it does not appear that any practice under those regulations has been had to determine whether they are | practicable, or to learn what improvement: can be suggested in the system, or to ac- | custom the men to their enforcement.” And | then he proceeds to suggest that “during | the present drill season you practice rapid assembly by battalions. The assemblies | should be ordered late in the afternoon to be | made at the armory in the evening, so as not to interfere with the daily avocations | of the men. Roll calls should be made stated intervals to determine the rapidi of assembly, and reports made to these headquarters of results. Energy on the part of commaniing officers, and ingenuity in devising new and attractive features of drill and exercise, are necessary to stimu- late the interest of the men, and the com-| manding general trusts that his subordinate commanding officers will achieve good re. sults this drill season without waiting for | Suggestions from him as to the methods of | obtaining them.” It will be interesting for the impartial ob- server to note the eagerness or otherwise of the regiments to deserve commendation based upon real efficiency, Efficiency Will Ke Demanded. This movement toward greater efficiency is to be made general touching every de- | partment of soldierly knowledge. Many | officers lack essential information on mat-| ters that are of as much importance as} tactical skill, and strenuous endeavor will | be made to educate the last one up to a/ satisfactory standard. partmént will scon reach better organiza- tion, foundation for the expectation being | the business-like energy of Maj. M, ‘Tierney, the recently commissioned quarte: master gene Maj. ‘Tierney’s program | has not yet been made public, but when it| does appeur it will be interestin In the department of rifle practice there | is to be steady climbing upward. Ever thing reasonabie that can be done to encour- age careful shooting will be done. Maj. | Harries’ plans for the approaching season | are of the sort that will call upon eve: inspector for renewed and increased acti ity. especially in those portions of the brig~ ade where the extremely small number of | zharpshgoters and marksmen gives unal swerable testimony of carelessness or list- | lessness. The weak places are to be made strong and the work of strengthening will devolve mainly the on regimental in- spectors, for theirs will be the responsibil- ity. If thei ctive regiments do well | in the matter of qualifications they will | receive the praise: if there is manifest lack of efficiency they must shoulder. the blame. | The District National Guard is now strong | enough to demand eflicieney of individuais and organizations. An Important Mecting. to Be Held. One of the first guns to be fired in the campaign is scheduled to sound forth its| sonorous note next Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock. During the coming week every officer in the guard will receive an invitation to be present at the Washington Light Infantry Armory at the time speci- fied, then and there to meet Maj. Geo. H. Harries, inspector general of rifle practice, who desires to discuss with them ways and means by which the marksmanship record for 184 may be made to eclipse anything heretofore regarded as possible. The propo- | sition to have such a meeting, where free { interchange of ideas could take place, has the indorsement of Gen. Ordway and is deemed absolutely necessary by the inspec- tors of rifle practice. The meeting will not be long or tedious. The object is one with which ccry officer should sympathize and it is hoped ty those who want to see the District National Guard hold the right of the line that absentees will be few. ° A Fatal Detect.

O. 7, 1888, and no other evidence is acceptable. It is to be regretted that disapproval is impera- tive in this case, the offenses of which Private Rice is found guilty meriting the maximum limit of punishment possibie un- the law. ALBERT ORDWAY, Brigadier General, Commanding.” Notes. There have been some important changes ° in the first regiment staff. Capt. Barks: dale, the regimental adjutant, has resigned his commission and leaves behind him a vacancy which, it is rumored, Col. Moore will endeavor to fill by the nomination of Major D. L. M. Peixotto, now of the gen-) eral staff. Col. Moore has a very high) opinion of Major Peixotto’s ability and will, it is understood, do his utmost to persuade | the major to join his official family. I Capt. Harrison Dingman, the -egimenta! quartermaster, has gone out, this making way for the well-earned promotion of Lieut. | A. W. Kelley, who for a long time has been the efficient quartermaster of the first bat- talion. On Monday evening at 7:45 there will be held at brigade headquarters the —— monthly meeting of the inspectors of a practice. Every inspector is expected to be present for there are matters of im- portance to be considered. Company —_ manders who have any conundrums to asl as to the annual reports of rifle practice are at liberty to bring them to the meeting and take away appropriate answers. ifle practice returns have commenced to ena the first to arrive being, oddly enough, those of company A, first battal- | ion, Capt. C. C. M. Loeffler, comm: ading. | The papers are models in every respect and | are the handiwork of company A's veteran first sergeant, A. M. Muzzy. Company C, fourth battalion, Capt. Buck, commanding, is making itself comfortable in its quarters by expending a good deal of money and muscle. Maj. Campbell thinks he has every reason for being proud of the new company. Para: hh V, general orders, No. 18, cur- rent series, says that “the drill regulations for the hospital corps, United States army, approved by the Secretary of War July 17, #98, and published for the information and government of the army, is adopted for the instruction and government of the National Guard.” Surgeon General Henderson is hard at work preparing for the coming Associa- uon of the Military Surgeons of the United States, which superlative organization is to meet here in the spring.

Frederick City Celebrates the Brave Act of Its Citize Correspondence of The Evening Star. FREDERICK, Md., November 24, 1893. ‘The tirst celebration of the first act of | repudiation of the british stamp act by the Frederick court was celebrated here on Thursday, although the event occurred | 128 years ago. It wes only recently that! the historicai fact was brought to light | that the twelve justices of Frederick county | assembled together on the 23d of November, passed an order which virtually set at defiance the act passed by the british par- Mament, and*urdcred to g9 into effect on the Ist of November taat year, The moment news of the passage of the act reached these shores the colonists rose in their | indignation and denounced {t as unjust and } . They did not so much resist | because of the amount of the tax, but the | principle and policy involved, that of the | home government imposing a tax on its dependencies without their consent and ac- quiescence, was more than they could stand, The stamp distributors appointed in a number of the colomes were hung in effi- &Y and openly denounced, and at Annapolis, in this state, Zachariah Hood, who was the | Maryland distributor, was run out of the town and his house torn down. But the resistance came entirely from the common people up to the time of the action of the | Wrederick court. ‘Phe boldness, the bravery, | the valor of their deed was thought by the Frederick Caapier of the Daughters of the | Revolution, of which Mrs. John Ritchie is | regent, to be worthy of commemoration as | a lesson in patriotism. In consequence of | which Thursday's celebration was held, | and proved to be a distinguished success in every way. The peopie of the community entered into the spirit of the thing, and even in the adjoining county of Carroll, which was once a part of Frederick, a’ tention was paid to the day, appropriate ex- | ercises being held in the schools and flags | displayed on all the senool houses. Many | tay likewise Mutiered in the breeze in Frederick, and at noon the bell on the court house rang out with a hearty good | will, which was a signal for all the other bells, and they chimed in the glad retrain. Suddenly, dozens of steam whistles ii all parts of the city opened tueir throtties and added their wild sereeches and ‘hoarse roarings to the geueral pandemonium. ‘This lasted wily fifteen minutes, and served to call attention pretty generally to the char- acter of the day and the event that was be- ing celebrated. The principal feature of the day, however, was a meeting at the City Opera House, which had been arranged by | the Daughters of the Revolution and their friends with great care, The hall was teautifully decorated, the stage especially presenting a handsome appearance, and a novel one, too, becausé of the colonial char- acter of its adornments. There was a pic-/ ture of Washington by Robert Peale,.a fes- twon of wreaths, each ‘circling the name of one of the twelve brave justices of the old Frederick court,’a large coat-of-arms of the state, a number of portraits of local revolutionary leaders, several old chairs that belonged in famous colonial house- holds, a spinning wheel that indicated the industry of the dames of old, and on the speaker's table a water pitcher that had be- longed” to Capt. Geo. Cook of the ship “De- fense” during the revolution. Flags, bunt- ing and fiowers were also tastily arranged on and about the stage. All the members of the Frederick Chapter, D. A. R., and their guests occupied seats reserved for them in the body of the hall, and they, the committees and participants in the ‘pro- grams wore neat badges of blue and white ribbons, the colors of the chapter. The meeting was presided over by Wm. P. Maulsby, jr., of the Frederick bar, and the audience that crowded the hall numbered | about 1,500 people. The Philharmonic Or- chestra of Frederick played several com- positions, and also the accompaniments to “The Star Spangled Banner,” “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee,” and “Old Hundred,” which were sung by a trained choir of males and females, in charge of Professor Geo. Ed. Smith. The speakers of the evening were Gen. Bradley T. Johnson of Baltimore; | Hon. Frederick J. Nelson of Frederick and | John N. Dorsey of Baltimore, secretary of | the Maryland Society, Sons of the Revolu- tion, The latter society was also repre-! sented among the guests by Mr. W. Ridgely | Gritlith, its vice presid@nt, and A. C. Ken-| ley of its board of managers, both of Bal- timore. Among the other guests present were Mrs. A. Leo Knott of Baltimore, re- geni,of the Maryland Chapter, D. A. R., and aslrs. M. M. MecKaig of Cumberland, regent of the Cumberland chapter. The miscellaneous features of the program were the reading of poems written for the oc- librarian of Congress, and Dr. Edward Nei- son of Frederick, the presentation of a ga- vel to the chapter, and the reading of a number of letters ‘from prominent people regretting that they could not be present. lowing Washingtonians: Justice and Mrs. Shiras, Mr. and Mrs. Justice Field, Justice and Mrs. Brewer, Judge Strong, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Ogden Doremus. the meeting, the Daughters of the Revolu- Court square. are due at brigade headquarters | | The popularity ) study of act thi | Served by the hostess. Met THE WORLD OF SOCIETY. Getting Ready for the Gaysty of the Coming Season. Many Pleasant Events in Prospect— ‘Weddings and Evenings at Home —Personal Notes. The brisk cold days that have marked the latter part of the week have brought ovt society in winter garb and many stylish costumes have been seen on the avenues and in other public places. While the sea- son for formal entertaining can hardly be said to commence much before the Christ- mas holidays yet many movements haye already been started that give an idea of what the coming season is to be. After Thanksgiving matters social begin to take on rather a livelier air. Houses are all supposed to be ready for the winter and can be thrown open now for entertainments that while somewhat more informal are by no means less enjoyable than those that are to come later in the season. The ma- trons, the belles and the buds are for the most part undergoing a siege with their modistes that will insure them wardrobes that are up to date in point of material and cut. In fact, society just now may be said to be in a chrysalis state, ready to burst into regal splendor a few weeks later on. ‘The prospect of a gay season is the sub- ject of discussion on the part of many who are interested in social affairs. That “society” is at home is evident from the jarge number of stylish carriages to be seen out every day. Around the Center Market this morning there was a collection of equipages that would have done credit to a cabinet reception and inside were scores of well-known ladies getting in their orders for their Thanksgiving turkeys and cranberries, carrying big bunches of chrys- anthemums or roses and stopping in the broad aisles to chat for a few moments with friends. There are a number of events down on the card for next week, among them an unusual number of dinners. Thanksgiving is a great day here, but many peopie who have but recently returned trom New York and the horse show now feel it incumbent to hurry back for the Yale-Princeton foot ball game next ‘Thursday, which promises to oe as great @ Soctal event as it has been in other years. The Western Presbyterian Church was on Monday evening iast the scene of a very Pleasant weduing, on which ocasion Capt. xtovert Armour und Mrs. Helen £. Snep- herd were united in marriage vy Kev. Ur. a. C. iuaston of the Hastera Presbyterian Church, of which tor many years the bride has been a member and identified closely with its every interest. She is the lady who two years ago conceived the idea of making the littie ones happy by letting them have a letter from Santa Claus. She inserted in The Evening Star an advertisement saying in effect that Santa Claus would send a letter to to all little ones desiring to hear from him and who should write him before a certain date. The number of calls was very large, vastly beyond her ex- pectations, but aided by The Star she Was enabled to answer every Kittle call by a letter and in many cases by little tokens that made happy many little hearts. ‘The good work began two years ago devel- oped greatly and last year many families were given a merry Christmas who other- wise might have been sad and lonely.
