LIGHT AND HEAT AT THE ARMORY Lieutenant Kettler Resigns and Sub- mits an Explanation. HEARD AT THE ARMORY —_>—_—__ The executive officer of the National Rifle Association of America has requested the officers of the department of rifle practice of the District National Guard to meet him in the lecture room at the armory this evening at 8 o'clock, in order that some conclusion may be reached as to the National Guard matches, which will be an important feature of the first annual meeting of the National Rifle Association, at Ordway, October 21, 22, 23 and 24. ‘The association prizes, it is stated, are going to be especially interesting, and it therefore behooves those who desire to enter the matches in which the prizes men- ticned are offered to join the association at once. There will be several new matches in the National Guard class at the coming meet. One will be the sharpshooters’ tro- phy maten for a handsome silver cup, do- rated by R. Harris & Co.

The Imitation debarring distinguished marksmen from competing in any rifle matches within the brigade, except against men of their own class, does not apply to ‘The Evening Star match nor the Senatorial ‘Trophy match, inasmuch as the prizes for those matches were donated on terms fixed by their donors before the limitation was established. The entrance fee in all the matches will be twenty-five cents for each individual. Lighting of the Armory. h the approach of cold weather the aqvestion of light and heat at the armory is again brought to consideration. Much concern was caused during the past week by the circulation of a rumor to the effect that all surplus incandescent lamps would be removed from each company roem. An investigation disclosed the fact that an in- spection is to be conducted and alterations made so as to provide that each company teom shall have not more than four ceiling lights and one desk light, and each locker recom two ceiling lights. It is also under- stcod that in the hallways an electric lamp will be placed before the door of each room. The general idea seems to be that the organizations making use of more than the stipulated number of lights will submit to a reduction until the inspection is con- cluded, and then increase the illumination in their respective rooms to the limit of pos ir desires, as has been the case hereto- fore. As yet no heat has been provided at the armory. Workmen are engaged at present making an excavation In the ground be- tween the armory and Convention Hall for the purpose of introducing new steam con- nections. The fact that this work was de- layed until the arrival of cold weather has been criticised not a little by those who are required to spend several hours in the armory one or more evenings each week. Since the opening of the drill hall the ght provided therein has been far from satisfactory. The electric are lights are not In position, and gas tllumination only has been in evidence. Better things ar looked for. = % Activity in the Fourth. The members of Company A, 4th Bat- talion, have resumed work for the winter season with commendable activity. The first drill since spring was held Tuesday last, followed by a meeting at which it was decided to celebrate the return to duty with a “smoker” at the quarters of the command Tuesday evening next. Preced- ing the social gathering the annual meet- ing of the company is to held, when civil officers will be elected to serve, during the ensuing year. bss Capt. Walsh reports a large number of applications for membership and he antici- pated a mest gratifying improvement of the company in all directions. A meeting of the company will be held tomorrow, when steps are be taken to organize a basket ball team, which, it is the intention, shall join forces with the basket ball league of the District of Co- lumbia. The Moore medal, which is awarded to the member of the company scoring the ‘highest number of points at regular order- ed rifle practice, was won at the recent visit to Ordway by Private Fred. Blake. Strong pressure is being brought to bear on Lieut. Harlow in an effort to induce that officer to reconsider his intention of tendering his resignation. The desire is unanimous that Lieut. Harlow remain with fhe company and the indications are that he will comply with the wishes of his fel- low-members. Resigns a Explains. Second Lieut. Charles H. Keitler, com- pary C, Ist Battalion, who, it was report- ed, refused to tender his resignation when the same was requested several weeks ag0, has forwarded the following communica ticn to Col. William G. Moore, command- ing the Washington Light Infantry Corps: “I have the honor to tender herewith my resignation as a member of your com- mand. In so doing I take the liberty of submitting a few remarks in justification of the course I have pursued in the or- ganization during the past six months. At the time of the impertinent difficulty be- tween Company C and the remaining com- anies of the battalion, which resulted in Rie virtual disbandment of one of the best companies of which the Guard could boast and the loss to yourself of an officer of recognized and pre-eminent ability, Capt. Charles H. Ourand, I was urged by every feeling of personal consideration to follow the course taken by the leading members of the company and sever my connection with tke organization at that time. Such action I would have taken, had I not been apprcached by many members, who urged me to do otherwise. I was informed on every hand that the refusal to confirm my election by the company was due neither to per:cnal considerations nor lack of ability as an officer, nor to inattention to duty. I was told that my confirmation was but the matter of a consideration and would be effected with no opposition whatever. “In accordance with these implied pro: ises and out of devotion to my interest in and leve of an organization which I had served faithfully for nearly ten years, IT acopted a course of passive waiting, with no intention of thrusting myself where I was not desired nor of maintaining honors which the members of the battalion desired to withhold. In the meantime there was formed a coalition between the major com- manding the battalion and certain ambi- tious gentlemen, who desired to rise to fame on the remnants of an outraged com- pany. I desired then but to complete a cortinucus service of ten years in your organization, ten years of honest endeavor for the good of the battalion, and tea years during which I had never absented myself from drill or roll call, nor neglect- ed any military duty, however exacting or slignt. I asked as a personal favor of ycur major a continuance of active duty for the few weeks necessary to complete such ten years ef service. In reply thereto I was arbitrarily placed upon thirty days’ leave of absence, an act as uncalled for and unnecessary as it was ungracious and unwarranted. A newly commissioned offi- cer of another company was placed in com- mand of the remnant of Company C, in spite of your ruling that the unconfirmed officers were still officers of the company and the corps until their successors had b duly elected and confirmed. marting under those indignities at the bands of the major commanding the bat- talion, who could have as fully accom- plished his purpose of securing a vacancy in the position held by myself by manly and daylight methods as by means that Presper best in darkness, I determined to bide my time and tender my resignation when best it suited my desires. “I do not leave the organization without sircere regret. Ten years of association frcm ties that are often severed only with the cvtting of heart strings, I have given you at all times my best endeavors, feeble, I confesy at their best, thougn always with a strong desire to do with all my heart what I could do for the interest of the battalion, in both a military and finan- cial sense. I leave behind me friendships here formed that will be lasting and re- membrances that will always awaken pleas- ure whenever recalled. May your organi- zation prosper for all time and continue to hold the high position it has always main- tained the volunteer soldiery of our corntry Notes. Capt. John M. Williams, Company D, 4th Battalion, has returned to duty, after a furlough of several months. Work was resumed in the armorers’ quarters at the armory yesterday, loading an munition to be used in gallery’ practice during the coming winter. Private Horace M. Bell, Company B, 6th Battalion, a son of Capt. James E. Bell, inspector of rifle practice of the 2d Regi- ment, has been appointed first lieutenant of Company B of the regiment of cadets at Cornell University. That rifle practice has taken a strong hold upon the members of the 2d Special Company is attested by the fact that orders have been given by the company for a dozen silver medals to be placed in compe- tition in rifle matches. The medals in de- sign are in the form of a Maltese cross suspended from a bar bearing the inscrip- tion “Rifle Association, 2d Separate Com- pany, D. C. N. G.” It is reported that Major Otto L. Suess of the 5th Battalion, who fs at present ‘in Dakota on business connected with the pension bureau, will soon sever his con- nection with the District National Guard. The medical board of examination has been directed to meet at the call of its president, Major George Henderson, for the examination of Mr. E. Cary Nalle, who has been recommended for appointment as hos- pital steward of the 3d Battalion. Mr. Nalle is a well-known druggist of this city, and his appointment to the office mentioned is urged by First Lieutenant Clarence A. Weaver, surgecn of the 3d Battalion. It is reported, unofficially, that the high- est score made at the range on ordered practice up to yesterday was that of Trum- peter Carroll cf Troop A, who attained a total of 177. Sergeant Groom, Company B, 6th Battalion, was second, with 172. Pri- vate Brittain, Company A, 2d Battalion, scored 182, while Private Boyer, Troop A, reached 161. Major O’Brien of the 2d Bat- talion scored 157. An exciting pool match was shot at the range Thursday, with the following par- ticipating: Taylor,Coiladay,Carroll, Lowell Webb, Stokes, Dyer and McCathran. Major O'Brien acted as referee and range officer. Trumpeter Carroll carried off the purse with a score of 43. es Senator Wolcott's Prognostications. W. E. Curtis in Chicago Record. Wolcott does not have much confidence in his personal popularity. After Senator Teller bolted at St. Louis and he wrote his letter commending the republican platform and ticket, he compared their situations and the sentiments of their constituents to- ward them. “When Teller goes home,” he said, “the depot at Denver will be crowded with 20,- 000 people, yelling ‘Glory hallelujah.’ They will carry him on their shoulders from the train to a carriage drawn by six white horses, the streets will be strewn with roses, young girls in white dresses will dance before him as Miriam danced before the ark, and crown his brow with laurels. “When I go home the railway station will be empty and dark; my old chums will turn their faces away as I get off the train, and the only words I will hear will be ut- tered by the brakeman, who will growl: ‘Blank you, don’t you see where you are stepping?’ * ————_+e+—_____ ALEXANDRIA COUNTY. The large brewery is nearly completed at Ross- lyn, near the south end of the Aqueduct bridge, and presents a very fine appearance. It is under- stood that the brewery will be in full operation by the last of November. Plans are now being made for other manufacturing establishments at Rosslyn, this place now having fine railroad facili- ties and having a splendid river front, with deep water for shipping purposes. It fs predicted that Rosslyn will become quite a manufacturing town in the near future.

Prof. William Taylor Thom is attending lec- tures at the Johns Hopkins University. A singular feature connected with the tornado of last week was the great number of huge trees which fell near or even against dwellings without injury to the inmates. Five immense oaks were laid prostrate within a few feet of Mr. James Henderson's tenant houses, and the most imposing one in Sandy Spring village crashed to earth, with searcely more than enough room for the trunk be- tween the homes of Messrs. Leizar and Oldfield, taking the top off a chimney and breaking a sin: gle pane of glass. ‘The wind played some curious freaks, a good sized straw rick belonging to James Holland being scattered all over the fleld of a neighbor, and the greenhouse of Miss Mary E Gilpin, ‘with some plants still in place, was landed bodily on the roof of @ meat house some yeards in the rear. A shingle roof weighing se tral tons was carried over two large apple tree and deposited almost upright twenty yards away, and clothes left hanging out at night were flut- tering ribbons in the tree tops in the morning.
