ILLINOIS GUARDSMEN Militia at Chicago Proved to Be of the Right Stuff. EXPERIENCE «AT CAMP WHEELER The Mission of the Soldiers to Restore Peage. EARLY MORNING ALARMS — From a Staff Correspondent. CHICAGO, July 14, 1894, Ever since mankind commenced to deck {Itself in military erray there have been “tin soldiers,” and “Sunday soldiers,” and “tair-weather soldiers,” and “dude gol- @iers” and “toy soldiers’—all closely akin— @hd there aro doubtless several of them il in existence, but I have failed to and em {p the Illinois National Guard.

Away out in the heart of the disturbed disturbing region—not fer from the tock yards, and within a fence that once fnclosed a base ball park—is Camp Wheeler; fo called in honor of Brig. Gen. H. A.

All sorts and condi- ms of men are they, except the sickly and ‘loyal sort—workers of wood and metal; representatives of many trades and prof: sions; stout, hearty specimens of manhood; knowing their duty, and doing it right ng. Quick Response of the Men. It was on Friday, the 6th instant, at 1:30 P-m., that orders were issued to assemble, @nd when, three hours later, “assembly” was sounded, 75 per cent of the regiment tharched out to do battle, if necessary, for the Constitution, the flag and the statutes. By the morning of the Tth all those who ‘Were fit for service and had, for good rea- gons, failed to show up the night before ‘Were with the regiment: two companies turned out each 100 per cent; six companies m_ 9) to 98 per cent; none were lower than 85 per cent. Fic and ata’ off. cers were all there except two who had sick for some months; every captain every Heutenant was present; the entire on-commissioned staff -eported. F: the outset, nothing was done in an unmilitary ay, nor was there any attempt to per- de people that an enleavor to be spot- Tessly clean was a thing of greatest im- portance. For five days.and nights officers end men slept with only one or two thick- esses of blanket between their tired bodies and the unyielding ground, and during that game period the command had, as one of the boys put it, “bread and ham for break- fast, ham and bread for dinner, and both for supper.” Last Wednesday the regi- fnent’s tentage arrived, and e then 's have been more comfortable. jut it must not we imagined ¢ camp life ts all there ts of the secon fstence.

Fortitude of the Militia. In the doing of their duty these young fellows—for most of them have only re- cently reached man’s estate—have faced mobs that breathed reatenings and slaughter, and have vvercome them only after most exciting struggies, In which lives were sacrificzd that Mberty might live and be glorifed. Taker from the work- bench, the forge, the desk, they have made tnostentatious display of soldierly quall- ties such as would be looked for in veter- ans, but whioh seem surprising in mere stoned by rioters, shot at from am- ubsisting upon ordinary, untrimmed camp fare, ex) -d to all kinds of weather, they have richly earned more praise than they will probably get. It fs not a pretty regiment, looked at through the eye of an artistic clothier. It wears the regulation blue and the regulation equipments, and when it gets into a full dress uniform it is the United States army goods. Aside from being justly proud of its “get there” quality, the second ts rationally tickled over two prominent features of its orgenization—a signal corps and a bicycle corps. The former has in its ranks thirty- eight men, thirty-three of them expert tel- wraphers and the others conversant with {ihe construction. This combination has gupplied the entire first brigade with the large amount of signal—principally tele- graphic—work that has been so valuable The bicycle corps is in good shape. For some time prior to these riots the corps was deemed to be useless, and when the last inspection was made the inspecting ofticer recommended that it be disbanded. Such a proposition would be hooted down ow. Nothing is too good for the cyclists. merally in couplee—for lone men are fre- ently attacked by strikers or others who ate troops and police—they do the swiftest nd most reilable sort of courier service. there are twenty-four men who push two detalled from each company. en there is a band of about sixty pieces, by is Brooks, but that cuts no figure ; it ts not fm the fleld. Mission of the Militia. “We are here to mstore peace and to bring about the resumption of railroad traffic.” So said Col. Moulton when his regiment commenced operations, and if he and his have not done all that the most exacting could require of them, nobody here knows where the shortcoming was. This ig not the first time the colonel has been on duty in the stock ares he was there lorie — riots of 1537. But this is his initial @ppearance there as a resimental ccmmander, his commission ag colonel be- jug dated February 17 last.

The boulevard looked like a battlefield. Shot Fell Like Hail. There was a quick series of explosions after the first report, and shrapnel shot rained like hail among the trees of the the surrounding buildings, The concussion broke every window in the houses for blocks around, The wails and roofs of the dwellings showed the terrifie effect of the missiles. Unex- ploded sheils of the rear part of the caisson Jay strewn over the ground. With (is explosion came great confusion of the troops and for a moment men and officers seemed powerless to move. To this was added the fright of the occupants of the surrounding houses, who ran screaming from their dwellings only to be sickened by the sicbt in the street.

If, on consi: view of existing and an B ments, it seems that the invitation can be accented, tt should on no account be lightly thrown over in favor of some later sugges- tion which offers a more tempting prospect. An invitation to a friend’y house is always @ compliment, and should be so esteemed. ‘Whether it be for a single meal or for days, | for an informal tea or a ceremonious dinn the fact that one is asked showe that one is wanted. Some persons hold sociai en- | gagements by a very tenuous thread, and | apparently feel at liberty to modify or/ break them according to moods an prices, but to do this is net xvod f is an indication of selfish disregard convenience of others. To make thoughtful arrangements toward enteftaining a gu atid then, at the last moment, to receive a telegram or a letter explaining that the guest is not coming, after all, is a common but very disappointing experience. Iilness or calamity is, of course, a suftitient excuse for alteration of plans, but nothing less can be condoned in the woman who aspires to a reputation for good manners. ‘The invitation having been accepted, it ts well to let the length of the contemplated visit be definitely prescribed.

The great- est precaution is always taken about the ammunition. “I have no recollection of a similar acei- dent in the United States artillery, and it ‘s the first on record so far as I can learn The guns were the new rifled field pleces re- cently introduced into the service and have never seen active duty.

From the London Telegraph, Nor let the maidens and matrons of the west entertain too much the old ideas about their sisters in Mohammedan countries. There was always a considerable degree of error in the views commonly held about the position of women in the east. People even went 0 far as to affirm that the Ko- ran, and Mohammedan opinion after it, denied to women the possession of souls. Nothing could be @ greater blunder; the Paradise of Islam is open to one sex as widely as the other. Among the four per- fect women in heaven the prophet names his own wife, and the institutions of his law are just and tender to a degree toward females. If a well-informed person were called - ly where, taking all in happy, most safe and it contented—he would name Turkey. If such a selection startled his questioner, from the Mohammedan civil law precept after precept, not only favorable to wo- men, but in the highest degree protective of them and equitable to all their claims. Nominally, no doubt, polygamy prevails,but practically it is rare. Divorce, again, is largely allowed by the rules of the Koran, but as a matter of fact it is not so common as with us and the Americans; and it is with the utmost re- luctance,because of the opinion of his neich- bors, that a respectable Muslim resorts to such a step. Among many characteristic precepts is that which enacts that, if a di- vorced woman bears a child soon after the divorce, the husband must maintain it and her for two whole years. Nor as regards social privileges have Tur- kish womea any particular reason nowa- days to envy thelr western sisters. In the middie and lower classes they pass in com- plete freedom about the towns and cities, preserving only thelr incognito with the “yashmak,” or face veil. In the upper cir- cies this rele of the past and badge of re- spectability has been refined from a thick mask into the lightest and filmsiest mus- lin, very feebly concealing the fair features which often accompany the invariably brilliant eyes. A Turkish lady of the present time does not indeed ride a bicycle in knickerbockers nor read the novels of the modern woman, nor hunt, nor openly flirt; but she comes and goes almost as she pleases, she plays at ball by the “Sweet Waters,” shops in the bazaar, reads, writes, embrotders, plays and sings, and, above all, cooks sktiita ‘ully.

She went to the door one warm summer afternoen to find a young gentleman friend of her husband's Louisville, and she took {ft for that he was going to stay all night. first words after shaking hands with nim were: “Now, you are tired and dusty after your journey; just go right up to the bath Toom; a bath will refresh you so.” In vain the young man tried to expostu- late; she had him by the arm and started him 4 the stairway before he could get in @ wo! In half an hour he came down and took up ig, hat hat and stick. “I thank women are most ited So her irted - , where are you going?” asked tess. ‘To catch my train,” he only had forty minutes to stay and my meng marine one Be of showing of her ‘be = THE FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS, Where Senators ang Representatives Can Be Found. ree Wi ae ibe vi Stevenson, A. ae ave. bit ery, plana ae Nelson W., Allen, William V., Keb, lackburn, nts roar s., ba er clormantie.
