Many Changes in the Different Choirs Next Season—Other Inter- esting Items. While the Choral Soctety feels the need in Washington of a music hall sufficiently large to give oratorio, it is not believed that the directors generally think that the movement for such a hall should be made in conjunction with the effort of the Y. M. Cc. A. to erect a now building. True, the alm of the Choral Society {s to produce the highest form of sacred music, and in that respect its mission is in the interest of good morals and the elevation of the com- munity, just the same as the Y. M. C. Ay but a hall such as is needed for oratorio would be used for general concert and other purposes, and would be a business investment which the Y. M. C. A. would hardly care to undertake. Besides, to meet the requirements of the Choral Society, the hall must be a large one, capable of seat- ing from two to three thousand people, and in the expressions of the meeting of the Y. M. C. A. people yesterday a hall of a thousand seating capacity only was re- ferred to. ‘The difficulty experiencei by the Choral Society in securing a place in which to give its concerts grows each year, and cannot be overcome until an appropriate music hall is built.. The directors of the society are struggling with the problem, and hope that sooner or later some of the wealthy and public-spirited citizens of Washington may be induced to erect a hall sufficiently large for oratorio purposes, with a fine organ and all the equipment needed. The society feels that its work of edu- cating the people in the highest form of music has given it a standing in the com- munity that well justifies it, when the proper time comes, in making a direct ap- peal for support in an effort to secure the erection of a music hall, with a reasonable assurance of success. Mr. Fred Lillibridge is visiting his par- ents in this city prior to taking charge of the musical department in the Ripon, Wis., College. “I shall go out a little before the term commences,” he said, the other day, “in order to ascertain exactly what of the old faculty I shall retain, and for what especial branches I shall need to secure new assistants. The place which I have accepted came to me unsolicited, and was the result of the work I have been doing in. New York and elsewhere for the past ten years, I have been teaching, playing the organ in church and doing concert work, and I am happy to say I have been suc- cessful in every respect. I have aiso found time to do some composition, and have put out quite a number of songs which have met with favor. I have also written a suite for orchestra and a complete sym- phony. “This is, of course, my most ambitious composition, but so well has it been spoken of by ccmpetent musiclans who have ex- amined it that I have commenced an- other, which, I hope, will be even better.” Since his arrival in Washington Mr. Lilli- bridge has met many of his old musical friends, all of whom have complimented him upon the success he has made and prophesied even greater results in the future. It is hoped that he may be in- duced to give either a public or private recital before he shall go west. It is now understood that the tenor of the St. Andrew’s Church quartet will be Mr. Melville D. Hensey. This young gen- tleman has made rapid strides during the past year, and will undoubtedly do good work in connection with his associates in the choir. His singing of the solos in the Crusaders, when given by the Capital Glee Club in the spring, was excellent, and gained for him much praise. Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes will go to Rich- mond, Va., on the 12th of August to sing for the Mozart Association of that city. Several Washington singers have been en- gaged by this organization fn the past, but the prediction is made that none have given greater satisfaction than will Mrs. Noyes. There is general satisfaction among mustcal people that Prof. Maina will again take charge of St. Patrick’s choir. With its new organ, a good y et, and with the aid of a large chorus, which Mr. Maina will no doubt bring around him, the music, under his direction, will be equal to that of any church in the city. Mrs. Zaidee Jones Smith will be gladly welcomed back to her old place as leading scprano in St. Matthew’s Church choir. She is a graceful and reliable singér, with a voice peculicrly adapted to the class of music that “ir. Gannon selects for his force. Miss Cecelia Murphy, who has been at St. Matthew's since Mrs. Smith left the city, will go back to St. Aloysius’ choir as leading soprano. Mrs. Clara Baker-Smith, who has brought the choir of the Immaculate Conception Church to such a high degree of perfection, hopes to accomplish even better results next year. She is the only woman having charge of a choir of such magnitude in the city, and her energy, fidelity and true musicianly spirit have enabled her to rank as one of the best directors here. It is understood that Miss Cora Boyd will not resume her work with the Congrega- tional Church choir, but who her successor will be has not yet developed. The music for Robert Downing’s new play, “Helena,” which he purchased from Sardou and which he will make his piece de resistance next season, has just been finished by Mr. A. Tregina of this city, and Mr. Downing says that in all his travels he has never met a more accom- plished musician, and that of all the com- 7s who have written music for him Tregina has made the most har- monious, effective and at the same time the most correct score that he has ever us Mr. ‘regina is a member of the Marine Band and has already acquired quite a reputation from several excellent comp ons that have been published.

AS TO MILITIA PATRIOTISM During the past week akout as large a force of men as <culd possibly be put to work on the rifle range have been toiling out at Ordway for the purpose of complet- ing things with all possible rapidity. As is usual on such work, there Lave been annoying delays, for which no one can pos- sibly be held to responsibility. Everybody on the grevrds, from Lieut. T. S. King, who is in chaige of construction, down to the last addition to the laboring force, has dcne everything that could reasonably be expected of him, while a notable few have G@cne mere than any reasonable person would have asked them to do. At this time the »fice building and the sinks are complete, the weil is almost ready for the pump, the 200 and 300-yards pits are in condition to receive the targets, the 500- yards pit will be in as good shape by Mon- day evening, while the 600-yards pit ought, if there is no interference by wet weather, to be about done by Tuesday evening, or Wednesday at latest. The telephone poles and wires are up, and the instruments can be put in just as soon as the targets—now on the grass in rear of each pit—are set up. Only the things essential have been at- tended to: the limited amount of money available has vetoed many plans that must materialize before the range will be any- thing like perfect. If the targets are in po- sition by Wednesday, then there will be nothing to prevent the opening of the range for voluntary practice Thursday, but the probabilities are that it may be Satur- day or even the following Monday before rifle practice will commence. When the lack of sufficient funds and all the attend- ant circumstances ara taken into consider- ation, {t is really remarkable that the range has progressed so far in the period of time that has elapsed since operations were commenced at Ordway. The Special Military Ticket. It may not be generally understood throughout the brigade that the special military ticket—sold for 25 cents by the Pennsylvania Railrcad Company—can only be had by those persons who have in their possession permit cards istued by the in- spector general of rifle practice. These cards will not be issued to’ individuals un- der any circumstatces, says the inspector general, but will reach the members of each command thrcugh the regimental or battalion inspectors. The trains upon which guardsmen will be most likely to go to the range are those leaving the 6th street depot at 11:50 a.m., 2:01 p.m. and 4:35 p.m.; the 201 train will stop only upon notification to the conductor by hold- ers of the speCial military ticket. Trains ‘returning to the city stop near the range upon being flagged: the événing favorites are due thereabouts-at 5:25 and 7:11. Candidates for the Brigade Team. Inspectors of'rifie practice are making the rounds in thelr'various commands for the men who Will participate in the pre- liminary compétiticis which will provide candidates for the brigade team. Already there is considerable enthusiasm, and it is»reasonably. expected that a large num- ber of guardsmen will go out to the range the first possible opportunity, so,as to get Into shape for,,the struggle that is now near at hand. Interesting Prize Competitons. Although drills have beth suspended gen- erally throughout the -brigade many of the {infantry commands-are discussing with interest certain, prize competitions to be held in connection with an enterprise as yet unnamed, but in the nature of a fair of company.A, second battalion, at the Rifles’ armory in the fall, The event-of chief. in- terest will be a contest in the manual of arms, teams to consist of probably three sets of fours, double rank, with two guides and one commissioned officer, for a costly cup or a handsome flag. The other features will be prize exhibitions of baton swing- ing by the drum majors of ithe local juventle musical organizations and a cake walk. The lady assistants at the fair will be attired in material representing the colors of the company—blue, white and gold. : ; Tie commissioned officers of this com- pany were tendered a reception on’ an élaborate scale by the members Wednes- day evening last at the armory in appre- clation of their services in placing the command on its present sound _ basis. Speeches of a gpngratulatory nature and the presence of an unlimited quantity of refreshments were the features of the evening. Photographs of the Neely Zouaves of Memphis and the Phoenix Light Infantry of Dayton, Ohio, have been received by Captain Edwards’ company, forming an appreciable addition to the art collection of the organization. Dissatistied With Its Quarters. First Sergt. Thomas McAnally of com- pany A, fourth battalion, the winner of the individual drill at the Little Rock inter- state competition in July, 1894, has been re- duced to a lower sergeantcy at his own request. Sergt. E. J. Liston, formerly first sergeant, has been restored to his former position, vacated by McAnally. Company A, fourth battalion, will here- after be governed by a board of ten di- rectors, this change being decided on at a meeting of the command last evening. The company is very much dissatisfied with its quarters in the new armory building. Se: eral months ago a communication was for- warded to the commanding general re questing additional room for the reason that a large quantity of company property must be cared for. While awalting a reply no attempt has been made to furnish the quarters, and in consequence the members have displayed but little eagerness to visit the armory. If the additional room is not forthcoming, it is said, quarters are to be secured outside and those now assigned the company in the armory building used only as store rooms for government prop- erty. Patriotism of the National Guard. Legislatures of a number of states in the Union have been showing their indifference or worse to the interests of the National Guard by cutting down appropriations for its maintenance and equipment, says the Chicago Post. Members thereof have in many instances justified this line of con- duct by speaking In disparaging terms of the organization and of its usefulness to the state. These slighting remarks have alled out a reply from General George WW. Wingate, president. of the National Guard Association of the United States. General Wingate is of the opinion that very few people, except those who have had an active connection with the Nation- al Guard of the different states, have any idea of the patriotism and self-sacrifice which constitute its moving spirit. Still fewer, he holds, have any conception of the great service it has been not only to the Union, but to the different states gen- erally, in the preservation of law and or- er the outbreak of the clvil war Wash- ington would have been lost to the north had it not been for the service of the Na- tonal Guard. The militia was then much less effective than now, yet the regiments of Massachusetts and New York started instantly to that city with full ranks, and arrived in time to prevent the national Capital falling into the hands of the con- federate forces. It was those nucleus upon wt regiments that formed the hich the army was organ- ized, and all of them, with the ion of the ‘seventh of New Yo! ticipated in the battle of Bull Run. It from these regiments that instruc for the volun- ments were found. s show there fs not a single month in the ys not ar in which there is St dut the call for ence of opinion with the di work required is & agree It ts a common occurrenze for the troops to sustain severe iosses in performing this duty, and it 1s very rare that they receive any public approval. It should be borne constantly in mini that the National Guardsman serves without pay, and that to the allowances which are made by the state for his equipment he contributes no inconsiderable sum of money out of his own pocket. In addition to this must be added the service which he is frequently called upon to render, and which he ren- ders without hope of reward. In view of all this there can be no question in the mind of an unprejudiced observer that the spirit of patriotism is as strong among those that belong to the National Guard as prevaiis in any other army organization that exists in this country. Notes. , The officers' association of the second regiment held its regular monthly meeting Thursday evening last. It is probable that the organization will soon file articles of incorporation. A complete set of photographs of the com- panies an@ scenes at the recent Memphis interstate drill will soon grace the hand- somely furnished quarters of company A, third battalion. _Major Frederick T. Wilson of the third battalion has been confined to his bed at Atlantic City by ilmess for several weeks past. Capt. Edgar A. Shilling ef ccmpany A continues in command cf the battalion. The battalion -2ourts-martial appointed for the trial of enlisted men charged with absence without leave from the brigade encampment have completed their duties, and the reports are now being received at headquarters. The outcome will be made public in the near future. The army will soon be equipped with a new signg! lantern. The signal corps has been experimenting with instruments of this character, and, a3 a result, has found a lantern which has given excellent results. The type of tantern selected is similar in many respects to the headlight of a loco- motive, and has worked satisfactorfly for a distance of twenty-eight miles. ———.__ WOMANLY PREROGATIVE. How Dorothy Stainton Got a Chance to Exercise It. From Black and White. George Railton. Dorothy Stainton. Lord Eastonville. Scene—A_ Conservatory. Enter Miss Dorothy Stainton and George i Railtcn, Dorothy—“Ah! this is better; anything rather than that frightful crush. Now we can have a nice friendly chat.”” George—“‘About the approaching event?” Dorothy—Why do you speak of that?” George—“I don’t know. Scarcely because it is the pleasartest topic I can think of.”” Dorothy—We've still to be friends,George; yeu promised that.” George—“Yes, I suppose we will keep up some form of acquaintanceship.” Dorothy—“Friends, you promised; not ac- quaintances.”” George—Synonymous terms in this world of ours. One thing, however, I will under- take to say; our friendship, be it what it may, will be quite sincere enough to please Lord Eastonville.” (A pause.) Dorothy—“How changeable the weather George—“The inevitable alternative to a subject of dissension.” Dorothy—“What do you mean? I never could fathom your epigrammatical phrases.” George—“The weather versus your mar- riage.” Dorothy—“George, you are simply horrid tonight.” George—“Strange, 1s it not, with every- thing conducing to my happiness?” Dorothy—“I wish you wouldn’t talk in that way; you make me miserable.” George—“What a curious power of reci- procity some natures possess.” yu never used to be like e ¢ George—“No—one does change; but, you gee, it 1s a failing common to humanity. Some natures change, some hearts—” Dorothy—"George!” George—“I was only generalizing. (Sne rises to leav he catches her hand.) Don’t go, Dor! I suppose I may call you by the old name until—until after the c2re- mony? I admit I am changed.” Dorothy—“And not for the better, I fear. (Shaking her head.) Why cannot you be natural—your old self?” Poi ‘My old self? Ah! that being is iead.”” Dorothy—“‘Asleep, not dead. If it died, you won lose all that makes Ife worth liv- George—“I have lost all, all except. one thing—a woman's heart.” Dorothy—What do you mean?” Gecrge—"May I tell you a fairy tale?” Dorothy—“A fairy tale?” George—“Yes! Once upon a time there lived a beauteous maiden who loved and was loved by a poor man. They plighted their troth, and he traveled into a far coun- try determined to amass wealth wherewith to gain her parents’ consent to their mar- riage. When he had departed, a lordling rode that way, not a handsome knight, but one who bore an ancient name, and of gold had mucb store. He sued for and won this fair maiden’s hand; but my story does not end as fairy tales should. They did not live happily ever afterward, for you see, though the lordling won her hand, the poor man still held her heart.” Dorothy—“You have no right to say that.” George—“I suppese not. (Rising.) Come, there is music, one more waltz; let us dance out of each other’s existence! Good God! I_am beginning to understand at last why Nero fiddled over burning Rome.” Dorothy—‘George, have some pity!

IN THE CHURCHES Some time age it was announced in this column that the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church had decided to make extensive im- provements te the church edifice providing the necessary money could be raised. Since thea pastor and people have been diligently at work, and now their efforts are being rewarded by seeing the contractor, with his men, at work on the alterations and re- pairs. In all about $6,000 will be spent, all of which has. been subscribed and some hundreds extra. The fund was secured by adopting the monthly pledge system. The Principal change is to take place in the in- ter‘or of the main auditorium on the second floor. . The seating capacity, which has been inadequate, will be increased by the addition of a new gallery at the eastern end, of curved shape and the ends extend- ing part way up the sides. This gallery is to have a seating capacity of 250, making the total accommodation of the auditorium 950. ‘The auditorium is also to be refrescoed and there will be new windows of orna- mental cathedral glass. Blectrie lighting is to be Introduced, and the plumbing is to be completely overhauled. A water motor is to furnish power for pumping the or- gan. The exterior is also to receive a new dress. Painters have already rigged their scaffolding, and the brick work, as well as the woodwork, is to receive several coats. The iron fence that formerly surrounded the church yard has been taken down and @ curbing is being substituted for it. Gran- olithic walks are to take the place of the brick sidewalk running around the struct- ure and also within the grounds of the building. Rev. G. B. Patch, pastor of the Gunton Temple Memorial Presbyterian Church, is to leave Monday morning, accompanied by Mrs. Patch, for Stonyman, Va., a resort in the neighborhood of Luray Caverns. Dr. Patch expects to remain at Stonyman about a week, and then, after an interval of a few days in this city, will spend the remainder of the month at some other Place, probably in the north. Rey. William I. “Austen, pastor of the Church of the Covenant, Baltimore, is to fill the pulpit of Gunton Church in the doctor’s absence, and all the services, including both those dur- ing the week and those on Sundays, are to be continued without interruption. The Sabbath. school is also holding its sessions regularly in the chapel. Rev. W. G. Turn2r returned last week from the coast of New Hampshire, having been gone about a month. He and the other assistants, Revs. J. McBride Sterrett and Albert M. Hilliker, are to conduct the services at Epiphany during the absence of the rector, Dr. McKim. With the ex- ception of the Sunday school and the week- ay services, the regular services will be eld. The gray stone arches which are intended to support the clere-story of St. Thomas’ Protestant Ep'scopal Church are nearly all In position. The force of workmen on the structure is not as large as when the work was recommenced this spring, and when the funds give out work will cease unt!l more money is secured, in accordance with the policv which has been adopted in the erection of this edifice. Both the Morning and afternoon Sabbath schools of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church have been discontinued for the sum- mer. A picnic was recently given to the members of the congregation and Sunday school to Great Falls. Rev. Alexander M. Rich had charge of the party, as well as of another, which the choir treated themselves to by going over to Bay Ridge for the day. Both morning and evening Sunday services are held in Dr. Addison’s absence by Rev. Mr, Rich. Rey. Howard Wilbur Ennis and Mrs. Ennis. .are.to leave, on the Sth of next month for “Old Daggers” Spring, in Bote- Ennis has taken a cottage at the springs until the last of August, and will then return to this city for a brief interval of preaching tourt county, Va.

Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin and family are at present sojourning at Saratoga Springs. From _a letter received in this city from Mrs. Hemlin it is learned that the doctor is rapidly regainirg his former robust health. A company of cadets, camposed of the beys of St. Augustine’s parish, has beer organized. The cadets expect to obtain uni- forms and equipments, and, with the assist- ance of a drill master, will be drflled under military tactics. Their armory is located in the basement of the church, where they meet every Thursday evening. Rev. C. H. Luebkert, pastor of Trinity German Lutheran Church, left last Tues- day for Buffalo, to be gone three weeks. In his absence two divinity students from Baltimore are to conduct the Sunday serv- ices. The Sunday school has been closed for the summer, as well as the parochial school. Epiphany Chapel,on 13th street south- west, is to be overhauled preparatory to the orening of its mission school and kin- dergarten in the fall. The interior walls of the second and third stories are to be kal- somined, while various portions of the woodwork of the building are also to be touched up. Rev. A. M. Hilliker, assistant rector of Epiphany Church, in charge of the mission, will not leave for his vacation until the latter part of August, but will then be gone until October, Of the four members of the clergy who go as delegates to the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church at Min- neapolis from the diocese of Maryland, the two representing Washington, Rev.

Dur- ing the absence of the rector, the assistant, Rev. Benjamin P. Snyder, will be in charge. The report of the treasurer of St. Aloy- slus Eranch, Catholic Knights of America, made at the last meeting, stated that the receipts of the widows and orphans’ fund for‘ the last six months amounted to $1,885.60, of which nearly all was expended. Rev. J. McBride Sterrett is now out at his country residence, at Tenleytown, after an absence cf a couple of weeks at Boston, part cf which time he spent in visiting his alma mater, Harvard College. The doctor may leave for another short trip later on in the season. Rey. Oliver A. Brown of Foundry Church went away last week for his annual out- ing to Atlantic Highlands, N. J., where his family has been located for some time. Both Sunday sghool and Sunday services are being continued. Rev. Dr. J. H. McCarty, assistant to Dr. Hugh Johnston of Metropolitan Church, has entered upon an interesting course of Sunday evening discourses on “The Hymns We Sing.” He will tell briefly the history of all the great hymns and hymn writers. The publication of the Christian Endeay- orer, the organ of the local Endeavor Union, has been suspended until September. From then on the paper will probably con- tain more matter than before on account of the preparations for the great conven- tion. Maj. George A. Hilton is in Chicago in the interests of the Union Mission Alli- ance. He is organizing another district, which will have its headquarters in Chi- cago, and will embrace nearly all of Ili- nois and part of Michigan, and possibly some portions of other neighboring states. A report which Maj. Hilton has sent to the headquarters of the organization [n this city states that he is meeting with excel- lent success, and that he has found some prominent men who have offered to co- operate in the scheme, both financially and otherwise. The choir of St. Patrick’s Church has been reorganized, and Mr. French, the late director, will ieave in a few days for a position in New York. The personnel of the choir is as follows: Prof. Maina, di- rector; Mrs. Maina,contralto; Miss Blanche Mattingly, soprano; Mr. W. D.

Howard Wilbur Ennis of the West- ern Presbyterian Church with last Sunday evening started a series of services out of the usual run. They are held at twiligh- and are in the nature of responsive chorai services by the congregation. Instead of the regular sermon, Mr. Ennis has sub- stituted talks on “The Hymnologists of the Christian Church,” one evening being voted to Charles W another to Is: Watts, and one to William Cowper. Re harles L, Pate was at Mountain Lake Park last week, but has now returned to his cottage at Washington Grove. He comes in every Sunday to conduct the ser- vices on that day at North Capitol Church, and also at the religious exercises during the week. Presiding Elder L. B. Wilson had to give up the idea of a camp meetirg at Leon- ardtown which he had planned to give this Week. Failure to secure tents and other necessary equipments was the reason for abandoning it. The parscnage of Union M. E. Church has received a freshening at the hands of painters. The congregation are anxious to make extensive improvements also to their house of worship, but will not be able to do so for some time. . The superintendent of.the Central Union Mission, Mr. Andrew. Thompson, wert over to Annapolis last week and held services on Sunday {n the market house by per- iission of the mayor of the city. Mr. Thcmpson is quite enthusiastic over the prespects there and has already selected a suitable house in which to locate a branch mission. The mission will be conducted un- Ger the auspices of the Union Mission Al- liance. Grace M. E. Church held a real old- fashioned love feast last Thursday even- ing. It was conducted by the pastor, Rev. Watson Case, aud was very well attended. _Frank T. Israel, District secretary of the Epworth League, returned Wednesday from a visit of a month to his parents at Benkleman, Neb. President W. B.

Schmitt, pastor of St. Joseph’s Church, is now at Atlantic City and intends to remain there about a month. In his absence the services are being con- ducted by his assistant, Father Dillon, who had also charge of the parish excur- sicn to Marshall Hall Thursday. The ob- ject of this excursion was to help pay for the improvements made to the chureh re- (ratiada and heretofore mentioned in The i ——.__ ON A SHEEP HANCH. The Dignified Procedure When the Bucks Met in ‘Confiiet. One of the amusing sights out west, as related to a Star writer, is the flocks of bucks on the sheep ranches in Arizona and New Mexico. There are certain regions given up to sheep rafsing, and one can find outfits which number as high as 50,000 sheep. These are divided into flocks, never more than 5,000 in a bunch, and while the bunches may be within a few miles of each other, they are kept separate and apart, and never allowed to mingle. Five thou- sand sheep in a bunch is about all that the genius of man or dog can handle to ad- vantage. During certain seasons of the year the bucks are bunched together by themselves, and these are the woolly folk who furnish the entertainment. All day long they fight sham duels with eaeh other, and every waking moment in the twenty-four will offer the onlooker a spectacle of full thirty of these combats raging at a time. The sheep seem to have a-fashion of code and conduct these affairs of honor with a great deal of order and decorum. They are never for*blood, and resemble a sparring match for points between box- ers, or a Joust with blunted spears between knights of olden time. As you watch the flock grazing along your eye will be arous- ed to some buck, who suddenly ceases feed- ing and stands for a moment in a thought- ful attitudé. It has suddenly occurred to this champion that he would enjoy a brief bunting bout, and he locks up and down the block for an adversary. Having selected his fellow duelist, he walks toward him with a very dignified, almost haughty air. The buck thus honor- ed by his notice raises his head as he is approached and*looks at the other with great calmness. The particular merino who is resolved on trouble goes quite close to the other, and in a stiff, formal way strikes him once or twice with his fore foot. This = maneuver would seem to be the chal- lenge. The buck thus tapped, and the blow is bestowed somewhere about the fore legs, bows profoundly, as if in haughty acquies- cence, and begins to back slowly away. The challenger does the same. When they have separated to a distance of perhaps thirty yards, they will spring into the air once or twice, in a stiff-lezged way, as if testing their thews. Having satisfied them- selves that they are decidedly in working order, and as if with the same Impulse, a Jower their héads and rush at each other. ‘They meet half way with a crash which can be heard across the plains for a mile, and each buck is so severely jolted as to be driven backward several feet. Bowing with great deference to each other, they then retreat backward as they did before, and to about the same distance, and charge again. Their woolly pates will crash to- gether a second time, after which they will retreat for a third. Before one or the other is entirely satisfied they will run some stx or seven of these courses. At last one will signify in a dignified way, and by simply turning his attention to cropping the grass, that he doesn’t care for any more exercise of that sort at that time. His adversary may feel like another bunt, but he never urges his wish, and if there fs still any combat in him, which must be worked off, he hunts another sheep. Sometimes when two bucks are pulling off a duel some other buck will be attracted by tke sight. Without asking anybody’s permission he will lower his head and charge with the others. Instead of a duel there will be a trio. Oceastonally a fourth, even a fifth, will take part, and as many as eight bucks have been seen all hilariously charging for ® common center in a fashion of a woolly Donnybrook fair. These buck tournaments appear to af- ford the sheep great satisfaction. They conduct them with gravity, and as none of them ever get hurt, and all of them seem much refreshed thereby, the sheep herders never interfere. ——.__ The Corbett Case. The hearing in the Corbett divorce case was resumed yesterday before Referee Jacobs, Jay H. Wilson, a member of the dramatic company of which the pugilist Corbett was the star, testited that the woman known as Vera trav- eled with the company as Mrs. Corbett. He also swore that Corbett and Vera oc- cupied the same rooms at the Burnett House in Cincinnati, at the Park Hotel, Madison, Wis., and at a hctel in Lacrosse, Wis. This closed the case for the platn- tiff. A motion of counsel for Corbett to dismiss the suit on the ground that the plaintiff's allegations had not been sus- tained by the evidence was overruled by the referee.. +o+—____ Distinguished Forger.
