Capt. Domer of the National Fencibles, in speaking of the communication from Col. Clay, which appeared in The Star on Thurs- day last, relating to the right of the Emmet Guard to enter the maiden drill at Little Rock, said to a Star reporter last night: “My object in replying to the article pub- lished in The Star is not to advertise our big benefit, which occurs at the Academy of Music on Monday, June 18, but to properly state the position of the National Fencibies with reference to the protest against the entry of the Emmet Guard in the maiden contest shortly to be held at Little Rock, Ark, “The rules governing that contest are those adopted by the National Competitive Drill Association at Omaha in 182, and, be- ing a member of the association, I have availed myself of the privilege of placing before the local executive committee in charge of the Little Rock competition cer- tain facts In my possession. The maiden drill at Little Rock is open to all regularly érganized National Guard companies that have never won a prize in an interstate com- tition or who have never won a first prize in a maiden or state competition. The prizes in this drill range from $500 to $50, and the evident desire of the Little Rock people is to foster a healthy rivalry between thelr state organizationg that have never had an oppor- tunity to icipate in the large drills neld throughout the country. Numerous en’ have been received from companies t have been organized within tne past six months or @ year, and it would hardly be just to compel them to compete with an or- ganization which has been in existence for ul tically in the same condition that our or- gunization was in prior to its maiden con- test at Kansas City in lsyu. 1 think dif- ferently. At that time the Fencibles had competed in two contests, the first being a ‘squad of sixteen’ drill in the manual of arms, held in the Washington Light In- fantry Armory, at which time our compet- itors were the Emmet Guard. The stiver cup which was awarded in that drill adorns the Fencibies’ armory. Later in a ‘squad of eight’ drill tn the manual of arms simply, our team wes again victorious, defeating similar squads representing the Emmet Guard and the Merchant Rifles. We have never denied that we were the victors in those contests. The record of the Kmmet Guard ts entirely different. They have com- peted at the various drills given by the drishsAmerican Military Union annually, which competitions have always been open to irish- American companies connected with this ynion throughout the various states of the country. The fact that these drills were liniited to Irish-American com- panies does hot make them any the less interstate competitions. Captain, Walsh does not deny that his company was awarded first prize in the Newark, N. J., contest, given under the auspices of the Irish-American Military Union, but claims that it was not a free-for-all contest and consequently should not be cited as an argument against his entry. In answer to this 1 might say that neither is the com- petition to be held at Little Rock a free- for-all contest, the entries being restricted to regularly organized National Guard com- panies, Under this rule our own National Kitles would-not be eligible, inasmuch -as they have not as yet associated themselves with the National Guard. Consequently the fact that a competition is restricted to certain classes of organizations makes it none the less an interstate competition. “These facts connected with the Newark competition I gleaned from statements made by Capt. Walsh, but the conditions surrounding the Norfolk affair come within my own personal knowledge. There was a restriction placed upon the entry of com- panies for that drill, the color line being wn. Qur company, us well as others, received an invitation to participate in the contests, but declined to enter. The entry of the Emmet Guard was formally accept- ed, and it was no fault of theirs that they had no competitors. During the trip down the Potomac I haf a conversation with Capt. Walsh, during which I inquired as to what companies he would drill against, and he replied that the affair was badly mixed up, and he had no knowledge to who his competitors would be, but inasmuch as the Emmet Guard had been in active prepata- tion for the contest, the company had de- cided to make the trip to see whether or not they would succeed in securing the prize money. After arrival at the drill field Ro competitors appeared in the class with the Emmet Guard. The company, how- ever, drew for a place in the drill, the re- sult being that they appeared second on the list. One of the rules governing the contest was that companies would not be permitted to witness the drills of the other organizations preceding them on the drill field. In accordance with this rule the Em- met Guard was requested to retire behind the grand stand and wait their turn to ex- ecute the program. The company, prior to its drill, was put through a rigid inspection, after which it drilled the program ‘as fur- nished by the judges, and was scored and timed, the percentage being S7 and the time twenty-two minutes. The judges of the drill were Lieut. W. B. Horner, nfth United States artillery; Lieut. W. R. Havillin, fifth United States artillery, and Lieut. E. A. Muller, third United States artillery. If this were but an exhibition, as claimed, why was the Emmet Guard inspected, why timed, why restricted as to movements ex- ecuted, why scored on those movements, and why excluded from witnessing the drill of a prior company? The fact that the company received but $250 instead of the first prize money of $400 was not its fault, but its misfortune. I may as well oar that we had not won our drill at Oma inasmuch as we received only $3,750 instead of $5,000, as offered for that contest. After the drill of the Emmet Guard Capt. Walsh was informed by Col. Nash that as the Em- met Guard had appeared and gone through the National Guard drill, they were entitled to a prize, which, through no fault of their own, they wete prevented from striving for or! by the non-abpearance of their expected rivals. “Had the National Competitive Drill As- scclation been in existence prior to our maiden contest at Kansas City, and the Iccal committee been therefore informed of the records of the competing companies, we would have been $500 better off, and first instead of second in the contest, be- cause we were defeated by a company that had formerly won a first prize. I believe a healthy rivalry between military or- nizations, @s I would foster legitimate athletic contests, in which sentor oarsmen should be exeluded from junior races and winners of prizes excluded from novice bicycle races. The fact that a junior crew rows over @ prescribed course in a junior event makes it thereby a senior crew, even if there be no competitors, and therefore bars it from any future juntor contest. “I do not deny that our course in this matter is antmated by. selfish motives. Our company, as ‘ts well known, holds the title of champion military organization of the United States. Nevertheless, we are not so supercilious as to overlook’ the ability of possible competitors. We have everything to lose in this competition and very little to gain. I therefore deem it my duty to myself and to my command to prevent any other company gaining a possible advant- age. Competitors drilling in the maiden contest (thereby familiarizing themselves with the drill field, the close inspection of the judges and the scrutiny of spectators) would have a decided advantage. In ad- dition I contend that such entry as I have protested against would not be a legitimate one. “Personally, the relation existing between the Emmet Guard and our company nas always beth very friendly, and I, of course, do not blame them for taking every possi- ble advantage of their opportunities in this contest, as we will certainly do. We are now in better condition than ever be- fore, and I confidently expect that the National Feneibles will return to Washing- ton again victorious and still bearing the proud title of champion military organiza- tion of the United States,” Si Ss The Library Association.

Preparations Being Made for Rifle Prac- tice on the Range. Competition for Place on the Brigade a ‘Team Soon to Commence—Other News of Interest. National Guard matters have been very quiet during the past week, the rifle gal- ler} having been closed for the season, thus shutting off the activity of many of the wide-awake citizen-soldiers who delight in being busy. Of course, there is more or less of business going on in and around the rooms of the two companies that are going to Little Rock next month, but out- side of the immediate vicinity of those two organizations there is a good deal of healthy repose. This is always so at this season of the year; there is a gap between the gallery practice and the commencement of worl on the range. Just when the barracks range will be ready for use cannot now be prophe- sied, for at the present moment it is a wreck—never having been repaired since the storm which last fall overturned much of the butts and smashed the target equip- ment to atoms. There is a marked strin- gency in the money market and deliberation extraordinary in congressional matters, but it is hoped at brigade headquarters that Something may soon be done to put every- thing in order, so that range practice for aust nay ‘commence’ in. the easly part ‘ot july. As to the Brigade Team. Details as to competition for place on the brigade team have not yet been formulated, but it is understood that a program similar to that which gave so much satisfaction last year will be framed and carried out. The only difference looked for is a slight increase in the total number of men who will be certified as competitors, and it is reasonably possible that they will be di: posed of a little more rapidly than in sea- In order, however, that none of the competitors be taken at a disadvant age, ample opportunity for voluntary prac- tice will be given prior to the dates which will be set apart for the opening of the competition. That will enable every sharp- shcoter who really desires to try for one of the coveted positions all the practice he Peeds to fit himself for the, struggle—which this year promises to be warmer than it ever was before. The Sea Girt meeting is to be held this year from September 3 to 10, and it 1s the present intent of the in- spector general of rifle practice to have the team organized and at work by the last week in July. The team practice methods which proved so successful last year will be adhered to this season, the best available team material will be secured, and every source of rational energy will be opened up to the end that victory may once more perch upon the blue flag that sports a silver hatchet in its center. ‘Will Deill at Marshall Hall.

The question of establishing a steam ferry between this city and Fox's Ferry, on the Maryland shore opposite, is being agitated by the merchants. It is thought that in the near future a steamer will be put on this route. The funeral of the late Jonathan W.Shire- ley, who died on the 13th instant, took piace from the residence of Mr. S. F.

Simpson, the oldest active member of Potomac Lodge, Independent Or- der of Odd Fellows, was honored last night at a meeting of the lodge by being presented with a handsome jeweled charm of the or- der. The presentation was made by Past Grand Master Daniel R. Stansbury in a few appropriate remarks. After the routine business had been attended to and the scar- let degree had been conferred on two can- didates a banquet was held, at which all ran merrily and a good time was had. Ex-Mayor E.E.

To the Editor of The Evening Star Is there a law against boys playing ball in the street? If so, why is it not enforced? | Yesterday my daughter, walking on Massa- i | chusetts avenue, was struck by a ball | thrown in the stroet, and not a month ago smashed by ‘a ball, SUBSCRIBER, This is the time of the year when gossip is rife, when all the good stories you heard the past winter, and which were only half enjoyed then in the rush, come back to you. You tell them or the fellow who remembers longer and tells them better gets a great reputation as a story-teller, or else that of & remarkably smart person, in whom every one must confide, or else they could not know so much. This is the time when wo- men ask each other, “Why don’t you come to see me?” But they don’t mean it, and un- less you are particularly dense you know they don’t. Visiting these days is a nuis- ance and to be ready always to receive visitors is a stern duty which only a few righteous-minded and rightfully clothed wo- men ever live up to after May 15. All the calling now is done before 11 a.m., or after 7 p.m. The latter is essentially the June pleasure. There is nothing quite so com- fortable as to sit around on front porches in the gloaming, or in the houses, where cool mattings, linen furniture covers, palm leaf fans and other heat forgetters flourish, and just talk till bed time. Folks are com- mencing to scatter, or, at least, all those who can do so are anxious to get settled in summer quarters. The main props of the official world will-be with us a good while yet, although all hands will, as usu- al, indulge in a Fourth of July excursion somewhere or other. The Pr: to jom Mrs. Cleveland and the babies for the first week in July, and druing the same time Sec! not anticipate lea’ ing town till the last days of June unless the warm weather comes and to go in a three-day term, such as“we are ac- customed to in this city: One hears a good deal of the doings of some fair Americans when they get on the other side of the water, and think that there is no one who knows them near enough to be shocked by any little episodes out of the common. There is a negative degree of comfort in the fact that folks are pretty much the same all the world over, and the foreigners perpetrate just as astonishing actions here. An Ey woman with mary trunks and a French maid spent the most of the past winter at one of the lead- ing hotels. One day she announced that she had received a message by cable telling of the death of her husband. The fair widow was nearly distracted by the violence of her grief, and at once made Preparations to return home. There were three days be- ‘fore the shi sailed and she employed them ~ getting up her mourning. Miltiness and ers were hastily summoned, and the deepest mourning ordered, upon which the latest agony tn crepe was piled on. The messengers who carried the boxes home and the fitters who were to see everything was all right almost shrank from going on such a sad errand, as they knew well they would meet a heartbroken woman. So, with many misgivings and the saddest expressions, they entered her apartments. In a minute gut came the lady with the supposed broken heart, but as a bunch of pink roses covered the region of that organ, nestling in frills of the blue chiffon which composed the stunning evening gowr she had on, they commenced to think they had made a mistake; the more so as a glimpse through the door she shut behind her revealed a brilllant-lighted dinner table, around which were seated a number of other well-arrayed forms, and only the place of the hostess vacant. ‘The lady made no bones over ling explanation that she was ovine = eel dinner party, but the crepe gowns were lovely, and she was go glad it was such jeomd deep mourning. In a few ingness. The dinner which commenced with a hostess gowned in blue chiffon vend- ed with the same lady robed to her ears in black crepe. and in just as happy a frame of mind in the one as the other. The guests enjoyed the change of costumes, the dinner went on merrily to the end, but the dress- makers came away disgusted with them- selves for not being able to tell sham grief from genuine, and to wonder how long be- fore No. 1 would be succeeded by No. 2, or whether the whole thing was not a fraud. One or other of the lady managers of the Jackson Alley League have spent most the time the last ten days at the rooms ot the Art Students’ League,where Hovenden’s picture, “Jerusalem the Golden,” has been on exhibition. The show has been success- ful in the sense that a great many people paid a quarter very cheerfully to see the picture, but more so in the way of making Known the good work which the league has accomplished and hopes yet to do among the poor of Jackson alley. To announce the whereabouts of the picture a big poster printed, about four yards long, which tacked up on the house. The owner of th building objected to this display, as it dwarfed all the other signs on the front, and so he donated $10 to have it removed. Judge Shellabarger, whose garden adjoins the! building, gave the ladies the ivy-covered fence for a bill board, and there the muslin has waved triumphantly ever since. The judge has & fine horse, which is aliowed oc- casionally to use the well-kept lawn as a pasture. One day, while the animal was | quietly munching away at the clover, a great crowd collected, attracted by the sign, and the word was passed around that the judge had @ wonderful new horse, whose | pedigree must be a fine one to warrant the selection of such a name as “Jerusalem the Golden.” The dismay of the lady managers when they did not succeed in getting every one of the crowd in to view the picture had to be seen to be appreciated. Today and tonight are the last chances to see this picture, where the view will be of material benefit to the league. To make the evening more attractive the View will be given with a musical accompaniment.

Frank Hauber, twenty-one years olf, was the pris- ener, while the complainant was Charles Paxton, two years his junior and a fnuch smaller man. The affair happened yester- mend ope in the office of the Baltimore utual Society, 805 Market space, Manager Weigman ‘was Aidt ‘in the office when the trouble happened. Young Paxton was alone in the office When Hauber entered. Heuber had been discharged from the employ of the company more thai a year ago, amd he had no particular business in the office yester- day. The office of the Baltimore company is on the third floor, and it was not until the fight was finished that some one re- sponded to the call for help. Hauber was met on the steps by some citizens, who detained him until the arrival of a policeman. X Manager Weigman told the court that Hauber was discharged from his employ tone he failed to turn in money he col- ted. On part of the prosecution it was claim- ed that when Hayber entered the place he took a seat near the bay, and then got up» and closed the door leading ot in the hall, Then, without any cause whatever, so Pax- ton ciaims, Hauber.took the piece of iren pipe from under his coat and dealt him a stunning blow-on the head. A second blow was. directed at his head. but the end of the pipe landed against the window casing and broke the force of the blow. Paxton told of tinding the pistol in the closet, where it had been thrown. The weapon did not belong to him. He aia hot see Hauber put it there. Hauber claimed that he went in the office expecting he might possibly meet one of the agents, but pone of them were the and he 4 in conversation with Paxton.

In the struggle, he said, Paxton's face was scratched. He denied that he took the pipe to the office, and also that he knew anything about the pistol. Manager Weigman said he had never seen the plece of pipe in the office. Judge Miller said he would have to hold the case for the action of the grand jury, and Hauber was tted in default of $2,000 security.
