OVER THE HURDLES Fort Myer Cavalry Give an Exhibi- tiop of Horsemanship. PRIVATE C'HCOLEY AND THE COSSACKS: Trick Riding and a Mock Fight by Troopers. AN INTERESTING SIGHT At 1:30 yesterday afternoon the only per- sen in the riding hall at Fort Myer was Private O’Hooley. The surroundings were not especially enlivening, but did not ac- count for the private’s evident dejection. The long building, with tan bark floor, bare walis and lttle gallery at one end for spec- A Standing Jump. tators, was an old story to Private O’Hoo- ley. “Me cousin Mike,” sald the private to himself, “is a Rooshian cosshack. Holy shmoke, would any one believe that throop A would turn into Rooshian cosshacks! Divil take me, but I was always suspicious of these new drill tactics. Shtanding up in crossed stirrups and riding over hurdles wasn’t taught cavalrymen whin I was young. I see by the paper that it's Roosh- fans they are, and cosshack Rooshians at that! “Me Cousin Mike’s mother was Olrish and his father was Oirish, and his first cousin, that’s me, and his two little byes are Oirish, and how by the holy shmoke he can be a Rooshian cosshack is too much for me.” The gallery was filled with people by the time O'Hooley had finished his remarks. ‘There were ladies from the fort and ladies from the city. The sixth cavalry has made itself popular since its arrivai, and the number of fashionable turnouts that lined the road in front of the drill hall attested to the fact. At 2 o'clock the regi- mental band took its place in one corner and from that time there was an hour and a half of fun andeexcitement. The riding .| officers at Myer believe that anything that tends to make a man a better horseman makes him a better soldier. With this idea the fancy and trick riding has been encouraged, and yesterday’s public exhi- bition showed the high proficiency that has been attained. : On Bareback Horse. Twenty-eight men of troop G, with Capt. West in command, were the opening num- ber, as it were, on the program. The men were riding bareback, in fatigue caps, blouses and leggings. The riders circled the hall on a trot, and on a run, wove in- tricate figures and were put over low hurdles singly. The band struck up and Over With His Horse. the hurdles were taken by fours. The band played faster, and a ‘twelve front went sailing over the barriers. The spec- tators cheered. “They are angels,” said aiccler: “Wait till throop A gets a-go- ing.”” . Then there was leaping on and off the horses on the gallop, and while jumping. The animals knew their business, and the cavalrymen knew theirs, and the result was a fine display of agility. The horses were thrown after this and the riders took a rest, sitting on recumbent animals. One of the privates during this pause had a chance to whisper Into his horse's ear his opinion of an animal who would balk six times at a measly little hurdle. The opinion was not complimentary, evi- dently, for the horse got right up quick, with his tail in ‘the air. The other horses followed suit and there was a quick forma- tion, company front, and then away went Capt. West and his troopers, while the band played. _ Trick Riding. Suddenly the gates at the end of the hall were opened. There was a confused rush of horses. One trooper was riding three horses standing, and another was riding three and driving a pair. The affair was not an entire success. Besides the two men and the teams a naity-looking officer was flying around the hall, everywhere at once. This was Lieut. Short of A troop. Private White was Having difficulty with the three horses he was riding and the pair he was driving. The ideas of all six seem- oper have ed to be radically different as to the All, however, migh' course to pursue. A Circus Act. gone well had not Private White gained the idea that he wanted to jump a hurdle. The five horses were willing to jump a hurdle, but they intended to jump as they pleased. The horses were in the majority and they won. It was hard to tell which was Private White, which the lead horses and which the ridden, when the jump was over. In the meantime Private Hattley was riding two horses, standing, over the hurdles, with varying success, The Troop. All this was the prelude to the entrance of troop A, which a few minutes later was being put through its feats by Lieut. Short. The troop separated in the center. The horses were backed and circled. “Trotting hovses out” produced several animals with the ability to go backward at @ good pace. Troop A during most of its exhibition was equipped for the ficld— the horses saddled and the men wearing Ee The easy grace with which these Tue cavalrymen sit the saddle makes as pleasant a sight as one need want, without the auxiliary of trick riding. There was an Englishman who wrote a hook about America back about 1796, and in it he re- marked that Americans were wretched tiders, except a few in New York who had attained the English style. Americans, ke said, were insane enough to use long stir- rups. The United States cavalryman of today rides pretty much as the Americans of 1796, and there are ro better actual riders in the world. Lieut. -Short’s men yesterday showed much skill in throwing their horses, and the whole troop was down in a remarkably short time. The troopers were put through a number of exercises, riding in pairs, one Backward Trot. mounted man leading an unsaddled horse, while his companion vaulted on and off over the hurdles and made frantic efforts to pick up handkerchiefs on the ground. Taking the Hurdles. A striking feature was the standing rid- ing in crossed stirrups, the men taking the hurdles in this fashion with perfect ease. Riding double, vaulting over two horses on to the back of a third, and the riding by one man of a horse without bridle were other features. There was also a mighty cenflict be- tween the white and the pink plumes. Eight men were attired inf fencing costume, and armed with wooden swords; four wore white plumes and four pink. The wearer of the white struck a pink plume when- ever he could, and vice versa. Finally a company front was formed, and a mighty charge indulged in that shook the building. As the crowd poured out two men rode by. Their horses were clipped. The riders carried crop sticks, wore baggy white trousers, and straight up-and-down leggins. They rode with short stirrups and raised themselves in these at every motion of the horse. There was an entire lack of grace Cutting the Feather. and naturalness about the method, es- pecially just after witnessiug the centaur manner in which the riders in the hall had followed every move of their animals. These two gentlemen. however, were rid- ing probably exactly us those New Yorkers did who, according to the English writer, were the only Americans in 1796 who knew how to ride. UNIVERSITY NOTES, Columbian University. It is more than likely that “The Co- lumbiad,” the university annual, which for several years past has not been published on account of financial embarrassments, will again appear this year. Much interest is menifested by the students in its re- appearance, and a committee has been ap- pointed, consisting of R. G. Davis, chair- man; Messrs. J. S. Johnson and A. E. Playter, Misses H. C. Morrison and Grace Ross. This committee will report at the next meeting, when officers will be elected. President Greene, who for the past week has been confined to his house with an at- tack of rheumatism, has recovered. The professors, as well as students, are enthusiastic over the organization of the base ball nine. A committee of all the faculties has been appointed to co-operate with the club at their meetings, and they will make the team a permanent one. A musical club has recently been or- ganized, in which the students of the col- lege are greatly interested. The organiza- tion is under the direction of the dean of the faculty, and weekly meetings are held. The intention is to give a public entertain- ment in the near future. The Pi Beta Phi fraternity were “at home” for the second ttme this season last Saturday evening at the residence of Miss Graves, 319 East Capitol street. Not only all the members of the fraternity were present, but also a large number of their friends, and a delightful peann ightful evening was Catholic University. Rev. Dr. Lucas of the diocese of Scran- ton has been spending a few days at the university, making final arrangements for receiving the degree of doctor of divinity at the end of the scholastic year. To re- ceive the degree of doctorate at the uni- versity the following conditions are neces- sary: Candidates must hand in a disser- tation of scientific worth, to be approved by the faculty, and printed. Seventy-five thesis must be prepared, and the disserta- tion must be sustained ‘publicly for three hours in each of two consecutive days. Dr. Lucas’ work, as well as that of Father Dublanchy, has’ been accepted, and they are now working upon their thesis, putting them in form and preparing defense for the two days’ examination. These two rev- erend gentlemen will be the first doctors of divinity creatéd by the Catholic University. Work is being gradually resumed McMahon Hall. v coasts Howard University. The lectures at the university for the coming season will be delivered by Rev. Dr. Field, on Africa; Mr. Nicolay, The Life of Lincoln, and Mr. Justice Harlan on Arbitration. Georgetown University. Dr. Stafford, who has been ill for some time, is once more able to resume his work, and will next week begin his lec- tures on toxicology. After March 1 the graduating class in medicine will have work in the bacterio- logical laboratory on Tuesdays, Thurs- days and Saturdays. . Dr. Parker is giving an instructive and interesting course in the laboratory on tumors, which is much appreciated, after the excellent treatment of’ the subject of tumors by the professor of surgery, Dr. Kerr. The first of the joint debates this year between Columbian and Georgetown Uni- versity will take place on Friday, March 15. Georgetown’s representatives will be Messrs. Brantley, Bankhead and Leahy of the post- graduate, senior and junior classes re- spectively. The subject for debate is: Re- solved, That all bonds hereafter issued by the United States government shoyld be paid, principal and interest, specifically in gold. For the second debate of the series, to be held next month, no subject has yet been selected, though the cominittees are considering several. The debaters will be McDevitt of the post-graduate class, Lyden of the seniors and probably Douglass of the juniors. At a recent meeting of the executive com- mittee of the medical students Mr. Test was elected chairman. It is expected that Prof. Baker will de- liver a lecture some time in March for the benefit of one of the university associations, The Philodemic Society has_ elected Messrs. J. Neal Power, James W. Burke and Charles EK. Roach for the intercollegi- ate debate between Georgetown and Boston, to be held in Boston on April 25. Francis B. McDermott represented George- town at the convention last Saturday in New York city of the I. C. A. A. A. A. —_—_—.___ Stenmships Evade the Law. It is stated at the immigration bureau that certain agents of steamship lines sail- ing from Liverpool of late have been sell- ing immigrants tickets by way of the Do- minion line, which lands them at Portland, Me. Until very recently the number of im- migrants arriving at that port was very small, and in consequence only one inspec- tor was employed there. The purpose of the ticket sellers was to avoid the rigid in- spection at New York and Boston, and a few days ago they succeeded in landing eighty-five Russian Jews, who were in such destitute circumstances as to require im- mediate attention. Superintendent Stump, in order to prevent any further evasions of the law, has increased the inspection force at Portland, where the law will be enforced hereafter as rigidly as at any other port. Make no mistake, Majestle Stecl Ranges are the best. THE NATIONAL GUARD jane Seas Gradually Getting Settledin the New SHOOTING CONTEST: FOR A MEDAL Various Matters Talked About by the Boys. AS TO THE NEW RIFLE The Center Market armory, the home, until recently, of the greater portion of the District of Columtia National Guard since its organization in 1887, is now de- serted, the old lockers being the only sem- blance of things military about the struc- ture . The brigade, with the exeception of the first battalion and the first separate battalion, has taken possession of the new armory, but things are yet in a chaotic state, for the concentration of the property and effects of so many troops within a few days naturally resulted in a skein of disor- der that will require a week or more to unravel. Everybody, however, is busy straighten- ing things out, and already several of the ccmpany rooms are bowers of beauty. Major Suess succeeded in having the as- signment of quarters changed, and now he has the room in the northwest corner of the third floor, and it is furnished hand- somely. An additional feature is the wood- work about the room, which has received a ccat of gold paint, making a pleasing ef- fect. _ The members of company D, fifth battalion, who recently won the battalion prize cup in competitive drill, are, as usual, exceptionally energetic. The furniture and the floor of their room has been stained a cherry hue, and gold and copper paint has also been used to good advantage. The company has also placed in position a handsome chandelier, fitted with both gas and electric fixtures, the only one at pres- ent in the building. About the most attractive room on the second floor, now, is that of company A, third battalion, and this organization will purchase new furniture, carpet and cur- tains, and intends that its quarters shall be as home-like as is possible to make them. Company A, second battalion, has given orders for an entire new outfit of furniture and other fixings, and when such is placed in position the company will hold a recep- ticn on an elaborate scale. Company C, second battalion, so far as its rooms are concerned, is slightly disfigured, but the lapse of a few days will improve the situ- ation. In fact, all the companies have been holding back for months, in order to make a splurge after the move, which has also been taken advantage of to get rid of a great quantity of worthless property that has been accumulating for half a dozen years. Everyone Not Satisfied. As was expected, considerable dissatis- faction is expressed in. some cases over the assignment to quarters, but it is thought that as soon as the troops become settled everything will be lovely. During the past week insufficient light at night has proved a drawback, as each room is supplied with but two incandescent burners, but the num- ber is to be doubled. The rough edges, due to newness, it must be remembered, will gradually be smogthed away, and before many weeks have rolled by the new arm- ory will be as near ideal as could be de- sired. It is understood that while the bri- gade Is in camp next June the walls will be painted and other finishing touches added to the structure. Until the return of the commanding gen- eral from Europe the new armory will be open all day on Sundays—that is, from 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning until the regular closing hour (11:30 in the evening.) It is understood that the second regiment will soon arrange-for a housewarming and reception of its own. Some members of the guard are much wrought up over the fact that the building is not provided with fire escapes. They claim that the armory certainly Comes un- der the law and are anxious that the neg- lect or omission be remedied as early as possible. Brigade headquarters will not be moved from 17th street and Pennsylvania avenue until Gen. Ordway’s return. Will Shoot for a Medal. ‘The rifle gallery will be occupied on Mon- day evening by company A, second bat- talion, which will shoot over the two- hundred-yards and three-hundred-yards ranges. The man making the highest score will wear the handsome medal which was’ recently purchased by the company until the next ordered practice. The medal is to become the property at the end of the season of the man making the highest total score. The members of this company have hit upon a bright scheme for beauti- fying the company room, having appealed to their lady friends to donate fancy ar- ticles for the purpose mentioned. Well Deserved Compliments. -The various companies which particl- | pated in the parades on Washington’s birthday are receiving from various sources praise for the showing made on that occasion. Col. Clay had at least 75 per cent of the strength of his regiment in line, which was an excellent display, and Major Burton R. Ross of the first bat- talion was true to his word, and paraded at the head of four companies, each of twenty files front, double rank. Gallery Practice to Be Hurried Along. Everybody is apparently anxious to be- gin work in the rifle gallery which is one portion of the new armory which is far beyond criticism of a derogatory nature. Firing is to begin at 7:30, instead of at 8 o’clock, as has been the case heretofore. This change will result in a great saving of time. It is announced by the depart- ment of rifle practice that it will not be necessary for the companies to wait until May before firing over the six-hundred- yards range, as that work is to be done +s Soon as the various companies are ready to take it up. Cofapany D of the 3d is Booming. Capt. Robert H. Young of company D, third battalion, denies the rumor that he will soon tender his resignation. On the contrary, says Capt. Young, his company is experiencing a very ative and emphatic boom, which is to be pushed along for some time to come. All worthless timber is to be eliminated from the organization and new and desirable men taken in, The company is arranging for an entertainment to be given about the middle of this month, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to fur- nishing the company rocm. What the Veterans Are Doing. The reorganization of company A, fifth hkattalion, and its assignm-nt as the. third separate company, has created great en- thusiagia in its membership, as evidenced at a special meeting held recently in the quarters of the company in the new ar- mory building. A large number of appli- cations for membership have been received and the following new members elected: Fa- bian Columbus, late captain of company B, fifth battalion; William Glover, late first sergeant of company D, fifth battalion, and F. M. Bumpus, late first sergeant, com- pany CG? fifth battalion. The field from which to recruit having been extended to members of the G. A. R., those persons who have served in the army or navy since the war, and to members of the District Guard who have served honorably for six years, causes its officers to think that the third separate company in a few months will take a leading position in the District Guard. The company has elected honorary members as follows: Maj. T. B. Harrison, Capt. W. H. Myers, H. Burkhart, R. Beres- ford, Apgust Schwarz, W. S. Metcalf and Mrs. Susannah Chapma2. The company has arranged to give a musical and literary entertainment and hop in Odd Fellows’ Hall, on 7th street northwest, Tuesday evening next, March 5, Herd Work in Dlinots. ‘That the National Guard is not made up of tin soldiers, as some people think, is clearly set forth in the annual report of the adjutant general of the Illinois Na- tional Guard, which, during 1893 and 1894, was called out seventeen separate times to maintain order at seventeen different points in the state. The whole force was on active duty, and a number of organiza~ tions were several times called to the aid of the civil authorities. The celerity of its movements and the courage, patience and fidelity ‘evidenced in the discharge of delicate, as well as hazardous duties, were the admiration of all impartial ob- servers. The troops, it is said, are thor- oughly proficient in drill and guard duty, know how to pitch tents, cook food, pre- serve their health and take care of them- selves in general. Ninety-four per cent of the entire guard of the state responded to the call for their services. The average expenditure for subsistence did not exceed 26 cents per day per man, and no fault was found with the quality or quantity of the As to the New Rifle. A test of the new magazine rifle was made last week at Willets Point, un- der the direction of Capt. W. M. Black, corps of engineers. In order to ascertain the penetrative ability of the bullets pine boards were fastened together until a thickness of fifty inches was obtained. Two. of the shots fired at this target at short range went entirely through it, and none of them penetrated less than three feet. Into oak planks the penetration was thir- ty-two inches, and iron plates two-thirds of an inch were also pierced. A bullet fired at thin iron plates an inch apart passed through one plate after another until it melted. Lieut. H. G. Lyon, seventeenth United States infantry, claims that tbe new army magazine rifle has six principal faults, with Perhaps more to follow. These are: ist. Phe twist should be from right to left, so as to avoid the blow on the cheek given by the stock in firing, and to make the drift of the bullet toward the left, so as to contract the natural ‘pull” of the trigger to the right. The Lebel rifie, of France, and most sporting rifles have their twist from right to left. 2d. ‘he rear sight Is too far from the eye, is not properly graduated for the gun, and has no wind gauge. L. e magazine must be charged singly, by dropping in- dividual cartridges into it, entailing loss of time. 4th. There is no apparent reason for each man carrying a ramrod, as the gun cleans itself, unless he can utilize it with his shelter tent. Each non-commis- sioned officer, however, should carry one, and It should slide into place easily and quickly, like the old Springfield, instead of being screwed in. 5th. The cut-off lug should be bright steel or nickel plated, so as to be more readily observed by squad and company ccmmanders. 6th. There is danger in having cartridges “jam” in the chamber, especially if a soldier confused the two fun¢tions of the gun as a maga- zine and a single loader. Notes. The President has signed the commission of Logan Prosise, jr., as second lieutenant of company A, second battalion, and that of Joseph C. Hardie, as first lieutenant and quartermaster of the third battalion. Private Frank F. Van Ness of company B, fourth battalion, has been transferred to the first separate company, and Private Frank E. Lanhan of company B, sixth battalion, has been transferred to com- pany B, first battalion. ‘The following named have been discharg- ed on their cwn applications: Private Frank B. Deming, company B, engineer corps; Corpl. J. Hough, company D, fourth battalion; Private Ashby BE. Bain, company D, sixth battalion, and Private Harvey B. Dram, company D, sixth battalion. Be- cause of removal from the District, Private Sidney H. Davis, company B. first bat- talion, has been honorably discharged. Private Andrew J. Brown of company D, sixth battalion, has been appointed acting first Heutenant of that company. The first drill in Convention Hall will be by the fifth battalion on Monday evening rext. Commands will be given by bugle. An effort will be made to complete the bridge leading from the armory building to the hall by the time mentioned. The first battalion is solely occupied at present arranging for the ice carnival to be — in its armory within the next few weeks. Several members of the New Jersey team of riflemen spent a few days in this city during the week, on their way home from the recent competition in Georgia, where they met defeat. Gen. Spencer’s riflemen expressed themselves as having had a glorious time. ————— SLATTERY LECTURES AGAIN. He Was Guarded by Police and No Demonstrations, Were Made. Slattery’s wife lectured to an audience numberiag more than 500 women at Savan- nah, Ga., Thursday afternoon at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall. Slattery and his wife were es- corted from the hotel to the hall by a de- tachment of police and no demonstrations were made. That night Slattery gave his lecture to a large audience of men. The building was guarded by police officers, and no one was allowed to stop within two hundred yards of the hall. It required nearly the entire police force to accom- plish this, but it had the effect of keeping perfect order. = Slattery was escorted to the hotel after his lecture by the entire police force on duty. After Slattery’s lecture upward of 5,000 people congregated in front of the ho- tel, while eighty-two policemen safely guarded him into the building. The least attempt at disorder would have resulted in great loss of life, as the police could not have coped with the crowd, but fortunate- ly no attempt was made. —_—___+0+_____. Italy Keeping Undesirables Away. Superintendent Stump of the immigration bureau has received from time to time un- doubted evidence that the Italian govern- ment is in good faith doing all it can to prevent the coming to the United States of Italians who come within the classes prohibited by our immigration laws. Mr. Stump today received a transcript of a judgment rendered by the Italian arbital commission against the agent of emigra- tion at Naples for sellirs tickets to six Italians who, on arrival at New York, were refused a landing. The agent was re- quired to refund to the persons who bought the tickets the full price paid for their transatlantic transportation. ———————_2+_____ To Help Street Railway Trafic. Officials of western street railways held a session at Chicago the other day. It was decided to form a circuit of western cities to engage open-air entertainment com- panies to travel over the circuit during the summer and give entertainments in the parks, with a view to increasing travel on the lines of street railways leading to the parks of the different cities. Among those present were H. B. Holmes, president of the Kansas City cable; W. V. Flowerey, superintendent of the same railway, and H. M. Barnet of the Minneapolis and St. Paul street railway. PLAIN FACTS That Cannot Be Contradicted. Skill, Twenty-Five Years’ Successfal Prac- tice in Curing Chronic Diseases by Mag? €tism, Nature’s Own Remedy. Dr. Damon’s Remarkable Magnetism has proven a triumphant power for the safe and speedy cure of all chronic diseases, and the vast army of cured patients in Washing- ton and vicinity is a sure indication that Dr. Damon and his assoeiate, Dr. Maynard, possess this wonderful ‘‘gift of healing’’ to a greater extent than any other men. The idle and sense- less talk of prejudiced persons against Dr. Damon's method of treatment should not interfere with those who are sick and désire to get well. It 1s a duty they owe to themselves and their families to ém- ploy any and every means for a restoration to heaith. Remember, your advisers do not know what you suffer, therefore exercise your own judg- ment ard reason. ‘These doctors demonstrated their power to cure the sick for several months in public, apd many walking advertisements of their wer to cure can be seen on the streets of Washing ton every day. Their spacious offices at G08 12th street northwest are filled eath day with people in all walks of life, ing that reltef from suf- fering and disease which nowhere else can found.

In efther instance it is an inexcusable im- pertinence in the face of hundreds of intelligent and reputable people of Washington, who testify to their radical and lasting cure of those . By this ts meant the complete elimination -or re- moval of the “cause” and the return to a perma- nent and natural, healthy condition. Any sufferer from chronic disease, no matter of how long stand- ing, may be practically assured of a cure by calling ‘on or writing to Dr. Walker. Men sutfe from nervous debility, as a result of overwork, .aental worry or past excesses, are uickly restored tc sound, vigorous by r. Walker's treatment.
