The Society of California Pioneers, or, as they are better known, the “49ers,” give their tenth annual excursion and reunion at that place at the time stated, and in doing so will also celebrate the seventy-sec- ond birthday of their honored treasurer, Col. J.C. McKibben. The run will be made on the handsome steamer Macalester, which will leave her wharf at 2:30. Plank- ed shad dinner, with accompaniments of all description, will be served at 5 o'clock, and the run back to the city will be made be- fore the cool night air gets in its work. Planked shad dinner, includnig the cele- brated Marshall Hall clam chowder, will again be the attraction at Marshall’ Hall tomorrow. This popular resort never look- ed prettier or more inviting than it now does in its new spring dress of green. The velvety lawns and the spreading branches of its shade trees will bring rest to the weary, and the beauties of the place and surroundings ca: t fail to appeal to the senses of all lovers of nature. Preparations have been made to entertain a big crowd. The sieamer Charles Macalester will leave her wharf, foot of 7th street, at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Returning, will leave Maxsnall Hall at 1:30 and 6 p.m. The Arion Singing Society. one of the leading German musical societies of the city, will give its annual singing festival at River View tomorrow.

The success of theart loan exhibit at Wimodaughsis has been so marked that it has been decided {0 continue it another week. The ladies expect there will be scme changes: in tho exhibit, adding to the interest. Two! fine tSpestries were loaned by Mrs. Hearst. They -are about two hundred years id and are excellent specimens of the perfection of the orientals in this art. There is! also a fine piece of Chinese embroidery loaned by Mrs. Sher- man. ips Monday afternoon ‘Mrs. Anna M. Hamil- ton, who has made'a' study of tapestries, will give a short paper on the subject at 4:30, which will be-‘well worth hearing. This evening there will be a short pro- gram.

JUDGES FOR THE CONTESTS NAMED Protest Regarding the Galveston Cup Has Been Overruled. RIFLE PRACTICE ELSEWHERE eee ‘The coming week promises to be interest- ing for the District of Columbia National Guard, es well as to folks generally in Washington. Lccatly, the ceremonies at- tendant upen the unvelling of the Hancock statue Tuesdsy will attract attention, the troops of the National Guard having been ordered out to participate in the parade. As heretofore stated in The Star, the bri- gade will be formed at 1:30 p.m., facing north, on the ellipse of the White Lot, near the center. Unless otherwise specially or- dered, full-dress regulation uniform will be worn, except that those organizations not yet provided with it will wear field dress and equipments. Every effort is being made to parade with full ranks, and com- pany commanders have been directed to see that all -1listed men absent without leave are properly dealt with, and to report to headquarters the names of all commission- ed officers so absent. The work of the Morton Cadets at the Savannah interstate drill and the dcings of the rifle tcams cf the ergineer corps in the rifle matches to be held in connection with the drill, however, will be czrefully watch- ed, though at a distance, and wishes for the success of the District's representa- tives be expressed. The departure will be made tomorrow night on the 10:43 train over the Scuthern railvay, on which Gen. Bird W. Spencer and his team of Jersey riflemen will also travel to Savannah and possible prizes. The Mortons, accompanied by the engineer teams and headed by the Mount Plensant Field Band, will leave the National Gvard armory about 9:30 p.m., and parade by way of New York avenue, 15th street and Pennsylvenia avenue to the 6th street station. Five members of Capt. Shilling’s command departed last evening with the taggage, and will bave the camp in proper :tape when the Georgia city is reached tomorrow afternoon. The guards- men will travel in National Guard fatigue uniform, and carry blarket bags, woolen and rubber blankets, with rifles in canvas cases. The return will be made either Sa’ urday evening next or the foll#wing Mon- day. Judges for the Drill. The encampment will be known as “Camp Gordon,” and will be in command of Maj.Edward Karow. The tents have been sent to Savannah from Atlanta, and ere this are in position. Maj. Karow has named his staff, as follows: Capt. John T. Ronan, quartermaster; Lieut. W. T. Dixon, camp adjutant, and Ideuts. W. T. Dixen, W. O. D. Rockwell and W. F. Blois, aids- de-camp. There will be further details of a surgeon and assistants. The local militiamen who are going to Savannah will be glad to learn that all gvard duty is to be performed by the Sa- vannah companies, the company command- ers having been directed to arrange for a daily detail of ten men for guard duty at the camp by reason of the necessity of properly caring for the property there. The judges for the interstate driil, in which the Morton Cadets will compete, are Maj. O. T. Kenan, Capt. J. F. Brooks and Capt. P. G. R. Bell, all of the Georgia Na- tional Guard. This board will also make the decision in the zouave contest. Program for the Week. The program for the week is as follows: Monday—4 p.m., battle exercises; 5 is zouave exhibition drill; 5:30 p.m., artillery exhibition drill; 0 p.m., dress parade.

Friday (cavalry day)—Cavalry tilt in the morning; 5 p.m., zouave exhibition- drill; 5:30 p.m., artillery exhibition drill; 6 p.m., dress parade and award of prizes. Engineer Teams at Savannah. The engineers will send a team, rather two or three teams, to compete In the in- terstate matches at Savannah. In doing this they have everything to lose, and ap- parently very little to gain. For three years the team from tais organization has defeated every regimental team which has entered against it in the interstate matches at Sea Girt, defeating last year and the year preceding twelve teams representing regiments from seven or eight states and a team from Uncle Sam's regulars. Last year the Georgia team made a great effort to win the coveted “bronze horse,” and after practicing steadily on the runge at Sea Girt for nearly 4 month previous to the match were defeated, but only by the very narrow margin of 7 points out of a pos- sible 1,800, Bearing the fact of their great shooting in mind it is easy to see that the team from the engineers have a very difficult undertaking before them, for they have not fired a shot on the range since last November, with the exception of a couple of nours’ practice on Wednesday and Fri- day of this week, whereas the Georgia boys have been hard at it for the past six weeks, over their own range. ‘The engineer team captain, Lieut. Young, does not, under the circumstances, feel very confident of winning anything. True, the men who will shoot are probably as re. Mable and as fine shots as the District can produce, but they lack practice, without which it is almost impossible to win. A Team of Experts. The team for the company match will probably consist of the following: Lieut. A. O, Hutterly, probably as good an all- around shot as there is in the United States, his feat last year in making 19 bull's-eyes out of 20 shots on a skirmish run being as fine a record as can be found, certainly in the eastern states; Corpl. Robert P. Carle- ton, also a-man who astonished every rifle- man at Sea Girt by putting up a record of 49 out of 50 at 56 yards; Sergt. James M. Stewart, a member of the brigade team since it was first organized, who accom- plished the feat of making 34 out of 35 last year at 600 yards in the Hilton Trophy match; Corpl. Maurice Appleby, also a dls- tinguished marksman, having served three years on the brigade team, another man who last year made a score of 34 out of 35 in the Hilton match, at 500 yards; Private George E. Cook, for two years a member of the brigade team, who won last year, as he did the year before, the Hayes Medal match at Sea Girt. Last year he made a score of 35, a “possible” in this match at 500 yards, and the year before made 11 consecutive bull's-eyes at 60 yaris. Lieut. F. L. Graham, who broke the rec- ord in the Hilton match, making 98 out of 105, may shoot on the company team, his shooting last year, practically without practice, being little short of wonderful. On the Battalion Team. The battalion team will be taken from the foregoing, and Lieut G. B. Young and Privat W. W. Cookson, the former a bri- gaue team man, and the latter an alter- nate. With practice the engineers would back these men, even to the extent of staking the “bronze horse” on the outcome; without practice they make no bets. Dr. Drury, the surgeon of the corps, has by hard and persistent work gathered to- gether a team of sharpshooters to enter the match for men who have never com- peted at Sea Girt, Creedmore or Walnut Hill. His team will probably be Lieut.Drury, Lieut. Holt, Privates W. A. Edwards, B. W. Scott, A. A. Birney and W. G. Steward. Some of these men are practically without #xperience in skirmish work, but think this an excellent opportunity to get it, even If they secure nothing more. They will leave tonight over the Southern with the Morton Cadets. Fencibles’ Protest Overruled. During the past week Capt. Domer of the National Fencibies made formal pro- test to the adjutant general of Texas against the Galveston cup being placed in competition at Savannah. A reply was re- ceived yesterday, in which Gen. Mabry reiterated that, as trustee of the cup, he is vested with sole power as regards the dis- Position thereof, and his order that the cup be sent to the Georgia city would, therefore, stand. Gen. Mabry Iinclosed communication from the chairman of the committee of Galveston citizens that pro- vided the cup, explaining that the original intention was that only National Guard companies should be permitted to compete for the same, failure to use the term “Na- tonal Guard” in the rules being because some states designate thelr troops as volunteers, some as state troops and others a8 state legion. Capt. Domer immediately called a meet- ing of the board of governors of the Fen- cibles to discuss the matter, and as a result the courts will undoubtedly be appealed to by_ Monday. Capt. Foye of the Thurston Rifles of Omaha, Neb., in a communication to Gen. Mabry, has offered to submit the cup ques- tion for final decision to a United States court judge or to a committee of five Na- tional Guard captains, one to be named by Gen. Mabry, two by the Thurston Rifles and the other by the four officers first chosen. A dispatch from Austin, Tex., quotes Gen. Mabry as saying: “The Fencibles are evi- dently jealous of the Morton Cadets of Washington, who propose to go after the cup.” Qualify or Be Court-Martialed. A recent order, relating to rifle practice for the National Guard of Penrsylvania, discloses an extraordinary condition of things, in that a requirement is made that every infantryman or cavalryman in the service of the state must become a marks- man under penalty of court-martial, if the failure be willful, or suffer discharge for inefficiency in case the requisite score is not attained after honest effort. Still, this {3 not so remarkable when it is taken into consideration that a keystone militia- man is a marksman if he scores 25 out of @ possible 50, with the privilege of re- entering indefinitely. The order referred te should be interesting to the District Guardsmen. In part it is as follow “The current season for rifle practice will open May 1 and will close October #1. Practice will be required of every officer and enlisted man, and no commutation for rifle range will b: allowe any company in the infantry or cavalry arms of the serv- ice not practicing in its entire membership. All officers are requested to impress upon their men the importance of rifle practice, and to urge them to strive for excellence in marksmanship and sighting end aiming. “Every infantryman or cavelryman must become a marksman, Company command- ers will be required, at the end of the rifle practice season, to prefer charges for ne- lect of duty aga'nst every man who has failed to present himself at the range for practice on the days set erart for that purpose, and also against thcse who fail to qualify after having qualified in any pre- vious year. Any man who shall have prac ticed and made an honest effort to qualify, without success, shall be discharged for inefliciency, unless retained by the regimen- tal command +r because of special efficiency in some other line of duty. Companies May Be Disbanded. “If any company in the infantry or cav- alry arms of the service falls to qualify 4s marksmen per cent of its entire membership, unless satisfactory reasons are shown for such failure, it shall be con- sidered so lacking in efficiency as to war- rant :ts disbandment. “Cavalrymen will qualify with the car- tine with which they are armed; the men in the other arms of the service with the regulation Springfield rifle. Recruits who shall have enlisted since October 31, 18%, and who succeed in practice in making a total score at 100, 200 and %™) yards of 30 points shall be rated as third-class marks- men, and be considered as having qualified tor ‘the season, but will be required to qualify as second-class marksmen every succeeding year that they remain in the service. Third-class marksmen may enter for qualification in the second-class. ‘For qualifying as second or first-class marksmen, five consecutive shots are al- lowed at 200 yards and five at 50 yards; re-entries are allowed unzii a score of 25 is made. When a score of over 25 end less than 40 is once nade, the shooter is quall- fied fer the year. If it be under 40, he is a second-class marksman; if 49 or more, he is a first-class marksman. “Any mar who shall have previously qualified as a first-class marksman may enter for qualificaticn as a sharpshooter. For qualifying as a sharpshccter five con- secutive shots are allowed at 2%) rds, five at 500 yards, and five at 600 yards. If a score of 67 or more is made the man fs a sharpshooter. A first-class marksman who fails on first trial to make a sharpshoot- er’s score ‘will be allowed one re-ent but ro more. When a score of 67 or over is made no re-entry for higher scores will be allowed. Atrest of National Guardsmen. A decision of general interest to National Guardsmen is one made by Justice Dean of the supreme court of Pennsylvania a few days ago in relation to the arrest of a Suardsman on a civil process while return- ing from drill. Capt. H. 3. Crump of the Pennsylvania National Guard, while in company, returning from an annual en- campment, was served by the sheriff of Chester county with a writ issued by the common pleas court of Chester county on a trortgage case. He moved the court to set aside the writ on the ground that he was exempt from service while performing duty at, going to, or returning from, the encampment. The court below, believing that the service was good, declined to set it aside, and then the appeal was taken. Justice Dean holds that, while there is ro express statutory exemption of a member of the National Guard of the state from service of summons while on duty, and that it would be a strained construction to say that such an exemption was included in the exemption from arrest on civil pro- cess, yet the appeal should be sustained, “on the broader greund that public policy, without express enactment, forbids the use of civil process under the circumstances here show! Justice Dean says, among other things: “The non-military debtor can remain within the jurisdiction of the courts of the county where he is a resident; his creditor must then bring suit against him to obtain service; but if the debtor be a member of the National Guard, suit can Le brought against him in any county of the commonwealth which military obedience requires him to pass through. He may be dragged hundreds of miles with his wit- nesses to a distant county to make a de- fense against a claim.” To sustain such a Proposition, Justice Dean holds, would be to impair the efficiency of the National Guard and be in direct opposition to public policy. The judgment of the lower court was reversed and the summons set aside, at the cost of the appellee. The military is subservient to the civil law, yet a soldier bas rights that the civil authorities are bound to respect. Par. 148, M. C., of New York, provides that persons belonging to the military forces of the state shall not be arrested on any-civil process while g0- ing to, remaining at, or returning from, any place at which they may be required to attend for military duty, Creditable Practice March. In view the fact that the sixth battal- ion contemplates a prectice march to Bal- timore in the near future, the following from the Army and Nzvy Journal is perti- nent: “On a recent practice march of an infantry company, from Eagle Pass, Tex., to Uvalde, Tex., sixty-five miles, four men volunteered to make a forced maren re- turning, and covered the sixty-five miles in thirty-six hours, including all halts. They were in heavy marching order, blanket roil instead of ki apsack, and carried two days’ rations; tctal weight of pack about fgrty pounds. The weather was extremely sul- try, the mcrevry up in the nineties, so that they suffered more from heat than from fatigue. This is certainly a very creditable performance, and thelr volunteering shows the ambitious spirit that animates our men.” ris) Noten, Company B, first battalion having at- tained 100 per cent at the inspection ani muster, the officers of the company, Capt. Chas. M. Shreve, Lieut. Jesse F. Grant and Lieut. Jesse B. R. Lee, showed their appre- ciation by entertaining the members of the company last evening. Appropriate re- marks weve made by the officers, and the evening was passed with tcasts, songs and a good time generally. ——————— The Error of a Novice.

Mins Hoselle’s Recent Success in Oratorio—Miss Lotta ML Folfilling the Prediction Made of Her Work. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Choral Society last Wednesday plans for next year were informally con- sidered and several valuable suggestions were made looking to an increase of tn- terest among both active and honorary members. Nothing definite was determined, as it was deemed best to wait until the new board should be organized. This will Probably be effected during the present month and then the matter will be taken up in earnest. The members of the board feel that ever suggestion intended to benefit the society should be carefully considered, for no di- rector has any other object in view than the prosperity and progress of the entire organization. The coming concert of Mrs. H. H. Mills’ pupils will be of more than ordinary in- terest, because the program will include songs by those who have since leaving her regular charge gaincd distinction in the musical world. Among them are Miss Alice Judson, whose excellent work with the Hinricas Opera Company is so recent chat {t is fresh in the public mind; Miss Eleanor Simonds and Miss Grace Met ‘ulloch, two of the original members of the Philhar- monic Quartet; Miss At Lee and Miss Reichenbach, both of whom have good voices, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Leubkert. The feature of the evening will, of course, be the playing of Miss Lotta Mills, who will be gladly welcomed by her many friends here Her success as a Pianist since she took up her residence in New York has been mark- ed, as the quotations from the press, here- tofore mad=, have shown. In this she has only justified the predictions that were male as to her future when she was first heard with the Seidl Orchestra, after her return from her studies in Europe. She has a vigorous mentality, capable of grasping the true meaning of a composition, an‘t a technique which easily conquers all manual difficulties, Mrs. Annie Roemer Kaspar will satl for Europe on the isth of June, to be absent for about three months. This will give her a much-needed rest from her arduous la- bors of the season. As a fitting close te the most successful season in the history of the two organiza- tions, the Rubinstein and Capital Gle Clubs will give their joint concert at M zerott Hall next Tuesday evening, May 12. enthusirsm of the members is. un- bounded, as is shown by the attendance at the nightly rehearsals on the “Clarice of Eberstein,” by Josef Rheinberger; poem by F. von Hoffraass. Friends of the club who have witneksed the rehearsals are delight- ed with the work, especially because it was tought It would be a hard matter to tind @ composition that would equal “The Cru- saders,” which was so superbly rendered at the clove of last season.

Naturally, the piece requested of the men's organization is Wagner's Pilgrim chorus from “Tannhauser,” which at the first concert was so excellently rendered that although the program requested no encoring, the audience fairly stormed in its demand for a repetition. it was, no doubt, one of the best renditions and inter- pretations of vocal music e' this city. The favorite numbe bins: Club's concert was the which will be given again. It being the closing concert committee, it is understood, have con- sented to allow a limited number of seats to be purchased by the members for th friends, who were unable to subscribe in the early part of the season. The solols will be Mrs. Gardner, Miss Jewell, Miss McEuan, Mr. Hensey, Mr. Earnest and the male quartet. Mr. John Porter Laurenc who was the accompanist of the Capital Glee Club when first organized, has always retained his first interest in the organiza- tion and in the first concert will be the piano soloist. The officers of the Rubinstein Club are Mrs. F. A. Gardner, vice president and acting president this season in the absen the joint of Mrs. Jno. T. Schaaff, the president: Miss Blanche Yewell, secretary; Mrs. Frank Brown, treasurer; Miss Lizzie Col- houn, Mbrarian; Mrs. C. A.

The clubs will probably continue rehcars- ing for a month longer, so as to lay plans complete, and start rehearsing the music to be given next season, and to arrange, if possible, the annual trip. Prof. Chas. Haydn Chase will leave the city next Wednesday for Hagerstown, Md., where he will give a piano recital. The program cf music will include classical selections, and a group of four of his own compositions. Prof. Chase is one of the youngest musicians in this city. The Hagers- town papers spoke very highiy of him upon a former appearance in that place, say!ng: “His style of playing ts marked by strength and freedom, and his interpretations are marked by considerable individuality and brilliancy.” Prof. Chase has been engaged to direct the music at the conference of the Y. M.C. A. of Maryland, District of Col bia, Delaware and West Virginia on the Ith, th and h instants, which will be held at Martinsburg, W. Va. Prof. Chase has been engaged in the Y. M. C.

It says: “Miss Rosselle rendered all of her solos in a manner that indicates close study, intelli- gent interpretation and above all that en- tire forgetfulness of self, and the adapta- tion of the spirit, both of the author and composer. Her rendition of the solo part in the denunciation of Elijah by the qu was a grand and soulful effort, and f realized, not only the musical, but the matic conception of the part. The ari: Rest in the Lord,” was the crownin; of her work. In this a most beautiful sen- timent was brought out, giving that rest- ful feeling to all that “Trust in the Lord and Wait Patiently for Him.” It was a magnificent piece of tone production throughout, full of color and sympathy, which held the audience spell bound.” Her many friends in this city will read this commendation with great pleasure. Her recent appearance here showed how finely her voice had developed, and that she sang with true musicianly feeling. Chicago's Guarantee AM Right.
