Se oe ATHLETICS IN GREECE. Grent International Carnival of Sport to Be Held There in 1896. From an Exchange. After a lapse of about 2,000 years the Olympie games are to be renewed to fur- ther the cause of international amateur sport. The prime mover in this revival is a brilliant young Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertia, who is well known in his own country as a promoter of the manly sports and in the United States »rough medals which he has offered to American colleges for excellence in de- bating—one at Princeton, another at the University of Louisiana and a third to be contested for by the Leland Stanford and California Universities. Before making the bold proposal to ap- point an international committee with jurisdiction over all sports, Baron de Cou- bertin looked into the condition of ath- letics in England, the United States, Bel- gium and Germany and concluded that such a committee would be practical end eminently advantageous. He next secured the attendance of prominent promoters of athietics at a convention held in Paris st June. All the great nations except Germany sent delegates, the athletic in- terests of the United States being repre- sented by Prof. Wiiliam M. Sloan of Prince- ton. This convention decided upon quad- rennial meetings. The first wil! be held in i806 at Athens, the second at Paris in 1000 nd the third probably in the United States. ‘The distinction between an amateur ath- lete and a professional was strictly drawa, H money prizes were forbidden. No professional will be allowed to compste. ‘The schedule of sports includes rowing aud national sports especially, besides all ath- letic games of recognized standing. With the co-operation of the Greek gov- ernment, the American Archaeological So- ciety and all the Greek athletio and sym- nastic clubs, the first meeting at Athens will undoubtedly be most successful. Be- sides all modern athletic contests, an at- tempt wiil be made to revive some of the old sports of the Greeks which are known to have taken place at the Olympic games in Elis. The rowing races are to be held in the famous harbor of Piraeus, while the other events will be contested for in places im ancient Athens, formerly used for this purpose. The sports of 1900 at Paris will be held in connection with the great ex- hibition of that year. ‘The question of the permanency of these Olympic contests can only be decided after | the first one or two have taken place, so that some idea can be obtained of the support given by the different nations to their representatives. If this should be but half-hearted, and if only second-rate athletes should be sent to the meetings, the attempt will surely prove a faflure. But if, on the other hand, these sports are made the great athletic events of every four years, by the holding of preparatory contests, their success will be assured and an incalculably great impetus given to the improvement of amateur athletics. ——___-+e- Ring Down the Curtain. From Life, Considering the money {ft costs and the actors employed, the biggest burlesque ever organized in this country is the office of the government architect. Of course, we have all known fn a gen- eral way that buildings erected by the United States government are not only mortifying caricatures on architecture, but that their cost is always beyond the dreams of common sense. Mr. Carrere, who was recently offered the position of supervising architect, declined it, as under existing conditions no one man could bring order out of the present chaos. | He remarks incidentally: ‘The present condition of this work fs In h a disorganized state that It would the best part ef any man’s time to re- ganize the work itself, irrespective of the department. The accumulated waste of money is beyond belief.” It is also interesting to learn that the number of buildings now in course of con- struction Is 115, many of them to cost from five hundred thousand to two million dol- lars. ‘And let the taxpayer amuse himself by trying to grasp the position of an architect whose numberless employes hold their por sitions by an influence beyond his own con- trol. In other words, if the architect does not like his draughtsman’s work he can “lump it. oe On the Lending of Books. From the Athenaeum. The rare “Memoires on Taxation,” by J. L. Moreau de Beaumont, of which but few copies were In existence, was among Adam Smith's books. Adam Smith de- clined, and very naturally, to lend his copy to Sir John Cinclair, who had asked for the loan of it, writing that “if any acci- dent should happen to my book, the loss is perfectly irreparable.” Adam Smith clearly valued his hook as much as Mrs. Grote did, but he had not hit on her “receipt” for insuring that she obtained possession again of any book she was asked to lend. Mrs. Grote’s habit was to say to the borrower, “I'll trouble you for a soverelgn;” and the pledge was tick- eted and kept fn her purse till the volume was returned. Borrowing has been a trouble to all book collectors; a short sentence prefixed to McCulloch’s catalogue bears witness to this: Practically there ts but little difference between borrowing and stealing books * © © it is infinitely less difficult to de- fend one’s self against petty larceny than against the solicitations of a friend beg- ging for the loan of a book.” ‘The Artists’s Triumph. From Filegende Blatter. t Ea | i Fe THE NATIONAL GUARD Preparations Made for an Active Season of Rifle Practice. FACILITIES OF NEW ARMORY GALLERY Some Reforms Suggested in the Regulation Uniform. CHANGES IN THE SERVICE —_s—_— The National Guard of the District of Columbia is nearly sixty days behind schedule time in beginning rifle practice in the gallery. As is well known, this state of affairs is due to the fact that no gallery has been available. But beginning March 1 a burst of energy in the shooting line will be very noticeable in the ideal rifle gallery which has been fitted out at the new armory. Four months’ work must be accomplished in three months, which will require some brisk firing. The season usually ends on April 31, but to meet the existing emergency the curtain will not be dropped this year until thirty days later. Considerable time can be saved, because in the new gallery there are double the number of targets that were in the D street building. Two companies will be accom- modated at the same time, and they are to complete their 200-yard and 300-yard scores in one evening. It is hoped that sufficient time will be saved in order that a number of nights may be set apart for gallery matches, the department of rifle practice having in view the encouragement of competition. As soon as the troops take possession of the armory the gallery will be opened from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily for voluntary prac- tice. After the long rest they have been forced to take, even the best marksmen in the brigade will be apt to be a little rusty and may need polishing up before beginning official firing. By doubling up a strong effort is to be made to complete the regular work in the gallery by the end of April, so that the month of May can be devoted to voluntary practice. Reforms in Uniforms. Second Lieut. Charles De Lane Hine, sixth United States infantry, is advocating a number of reforms in the matter of uni- forms in the army, which are worthy of general attention, and are of special in- terest to District guardsmen, because Lieut. Hine !s a Washington boy, was formerly a High School Cadet and was in attendance and furnished valuable instruction at both brigade encampments of the local soldlery. “Just as the flag should be protected by law from desecration for advertising pur- poses,” says Lieut. Hine, ‘so should the uniform of its defenders be protected by statute from insult and ridicule.” He would make some radical reductions in the uniform, and issue a regulation for- bidding otticers and enlisted men on the active list to wear civilian dress, either on or off duty, whether at a military post or not, except when on leave of absenc when on secret service or when gi) special permission, such permission not to be given oftener than, say, once or twice a@ month. Members of the National Guard when on duty should be permitted to wear the unl- form of the army, since they are liable at any time to be called into the service of the United States. Students of military schools should, of course, be allowed to wear a cadet uniform. All other persons, including discharged soldiers, should be prohibited by law from wearing, copying or in any way infringing upon the uniform of the army. It should be distinctively sa- cred. Lieut. Hine would like to see effaced from the regulations at one fell swoop all mention of helmets, chapeaux, their plumes and trimmings, dress coats, dress belts, epaulettes and shoulder knots. This would result in a saving of $65,000 per year to the government. A return to the old style blouse with brass buttons for officers is advocated, for it is claimed that the new blouse has been tried and found wanting for that most im- portant attachment, a pistol belt. The present forage cap is shortly to be replaced, it is hoped, by the more sensible cap sug- gested by the cavalry. Uniformity in the matter of shoes, collars and ties, both when on and off duty, ts also urged. According to Lieut. Hine the wearing of vests should be prohibited, and the use of an umbrella with uniform should not be tolerated. After making a number of other interest- ing suggestions Lieut. Hine say: Let Us, then, be careful of our uniform and all that goes with it, remembering that it helps indicate how strongly we are resisting the enervating tendencies of a rapidly ad- vancing civilization, where boasted virility easily degenerates into dreaded effemi- nacy.”” Story of a Bath. It is well known that one of the condi- tions membership in New York's fa- mous seventh regiment is a daily bath. Ac- cording to a New York newspaper, the staff bathe twice a day; captains are let eff with one bath and a shave. In the late Brooklyn campaign it was impossible to keep up the daily regulations owing to the necessity of keeping the men constantly under arms. For eight days there was not a wash in the regiment. One of the cap- tains of the seventh is a conspicuously ciean man even among these well-groomed officers. At the expiration of a week he had but one wild desire; it was for a bath. Under this spell he walked out alone one day unmindful of the rioters’ stones and their women’s sneers. Suddenly without a moment's premonition he found himself go- ing up the steps of a brownstone house and ringing the bell. It was opened by the lady of the house herself. Madam,” said the captain, “do you mind my going up to your bath room and taking a bath?” Not the least in the world,” said the lady under the spell of the all-conquering uriform. The maid was sent to prepare the bath, and when ready the captain was shown the way. Over the wild revel of that bath he still lingers in delight. But only when he was again clad did he come into his right mind. Great Scott, what had he done? How could he repay such a service? On the mantel downstairs he saw a child's bank. That should be his occasion. He begged his benefactress that he might put something into the child’s bank that she might re- member the great Brooklyn campaign and the doughty service of the New York sev- erth. The lady laughingly consented. Dropping a coin, and leaving his card, the officer bade good day, never so much as- tonished at his own prowess, as in captur- ing that bath. But the story does not end here. The next day he received the card of a visitor. It was the proprietor of the lady, the child and the bath, and an old business associate. Honorably Discharged. The following named have been honora- bly discharged: Private R. Kramer, com- pany D, first battalion; Corporal John Gately, company A, fourth battalion; Pri- vate R. Harlan, company A, fourth bat- talion; Private Charles D. Holden, com- rany D, fourth battalion; Sergeant C. B. Hudson, first separate company; Sergeant Charles’ M. Darnell, company C, engineer battalion; Private Frank H. Hall, company C, engineer battalion, and Private Addison. A. Ashburn, company D, first battalion. Some Transfers. Private William A. Karns, company B, third battalion, has been transferred to battery A, light artillery, and Private Jo- eeph B. Murray, company C, second bat- talion, has been transferred to company B, fourth battalion. An Order Ajput Transfers. Maj. Suess of the fifth battalion an- nounces that it has come to his attention that certain members of the battalion are in the habit of drilling with a company of another battalion without obtaining proper permission from their company commander. This action, it is understeod by Maj. Suess, is being taken upon the solicitation of cer- tain members of a company ef another bat- talion, and he believes it tends to break up the discipline of the fifth, and must be stopped. it is ordered, therefore, that hereafter if any member of another bat- talion or company is found in the quarters of the fifth battalion, importuning the members to leave and join or transfer to their respective company or battalion, it will be considered as conduct to the preju- dice of good crag military discipline and the offender ill be arrested and pro- ceeded against. It is further provided that hereafter no transfer$ to or from the bat- talion will be approved by battalion head- quarters, as the men $hould make up their minds as to what, company they desire to serve in before they ¢plist, and once having enlisted should Gpmplete their term of service where it békan. Company com- manders are forbi@ddn to allow their men to drill or parade, with any other compa- nies of the guard.’ ‘THe major adds that it the drill nights aahiedea to the companies of his battalion are not sufficient, it is an easy matter to appomit additional ones. his order as fol- this battalion is not fdr every company in a recruiting grontitl the guard that may indulge in wild dreams of conquest and of fabulous tales of untold wealth wherewith, to ‘conquer the military world of these great United States.” ‘Notes. The headquarters of the second regiment moved into the new armory yesterday, un- der the superintendence of Capt. Parmen- ter. The third and fourth battaligns made the change today. Company A, seco~' battalion, entertained a large number of ends at a-ball in the Rifles’ Armory las: evening, the affair be- ing in celebratien of the twelfth anni- versary of ‘the organization of the corps.

Do not condemn this man; he is happy, but his brow is yielding to the iron in- strument whose record is not easily ef- faced. ; 4 A young girl knelt beside a man who loved his own conception of the beautiful. She knelt and reached out both her hands to him. He lifted them sadly to his lips. “Oh, you dear little thing,” he murmured, “if you were not so nearly beautiful. Her forehead was not broad enough, he thought, for perfect beauty. “I shall be beautitu!,” she said, and took up an iron instrument that could be made to broaden foreheads or to narrow them. When she first put it on she almost fainted with the pain of it, but she told herself, “We must suffer to be beautiful for those we love.” And yet her love denied all suf- fering. Because the instrument was his she loved to wear it. She was happy through the blinding days, while hairsbreadth after hairsbreadth her strong, firmly-knit young brow yielded and was molded into his be- lef of perfect form. And ever she re- ated to herself, ‘We must suffer to be eautiful for those we lov And ever love denied the suffering. “You are beautiful,” he sald at last. “I am very proud of. you—and yet I wish— I wish you did not look as if you had led an unhappy Hfe. I know that you are happy. I have done everything to make you beautiful and perfect, and I know that I have made you happy, and yet you have the look of a woman who has conquered suffering, and people notice it. “People shall not notice it,’ she said, and she kissed him in pure seif-renuncia- tion. “I am _ happy,” and she tried to change the look, but it had been traced there by the iron instrument whose record is not easily effaced. One day the look was gone. She reached her hands to him,iand he lifted them sadly to his ps. She was absolutely beautiful, but she was dead: Afterward he loved a selfish woman and became unselfish. : ee Bible Translated Into Chinese. From the Boston Herald. The article on Bishop Schereschewsky brirgs out the fact that one of the foremost cf llving Chinesé scholars has produced, almost within a stone's throw of Harvard University, in the last: few years, a work which is likely to have a more profound influence upon the cfvilization of China than anything that has yet been done in the form of Christian missions. The hero- ism of this disabled scholar in working with untiring patience for Seven long years upon his ‘great task, and in allowing noth- ing to interrupt him, makes a strong appeal to those who know what this translation of the Bible into the classical language of Chira means. When completed, the Scrip- tures will be within reach of the best minds in China, and, in spite of the na! ural conservatism of these people, it will to them stand on the same plane with their sacred books. dt will place the entire mis- siorary work in that country on a different basis. The comparison of his achievement with that of Parkman is significant in point of determination and energy. Both of these men consecrated every bit of their strength to the main work that they had laid out for. themselves, and they put into it whatever gifts they had left. It is to be hoped that no obstacle may interfere with the bishop's final rendering of his transla- tion into the Chinese characters, and that he will not be allowed to return to China without some worthy testimonial in recog- nition of what he has been permitted to do. ——--- -+00 Winter.
