Upstairs, the bed rooms and ! { | dining room has the sunny corners on P street. The hall and the living recom are the largest“spaces, and give a reasonable idea of the spaciousness of the mansion. The floor of the latter is tower than the rooms surrounding it, which of itself is an unique feature. A small reception room directly adjoins the central hall. The house is beautifully furnished, the rare and cu- rious things making - doubly interesting its uniform completeness. Basement rooms are arranged as cloak rooms, so that ar- riving guests are not brought in contact with those already assembled until wraps have been laid aside. Churles J. Bell's Home. The residence of Mr. Charles J. Bell, chairman of the citizens’ inaugural com- mittee, is one of the finest homes on Con- necticut avenue. It has been occupied by his family since he erected it, a few years ago, and embodies every up-to-date idea im luxury and comfort. Its entertaining space, upon which such frequent demands are made by the hospitalities offered by its host and hostess, is ample. The drawing rooms and dining room, in connection with the large hall, open easily upon each other. The house has all the advantages of light and ventilation from all sides, and its southern exposure makes it particularly bright and sunny, a combination not too frequently found in town houses. Mr. Bell has a country place on Woodley lane, which he also keeps open most of the year, aiways spending the fall and spring months there, and where the family is surrounded by many pleasant neighbors. The Dulin Residence. Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Dulin have re- cently taken possession. of their new home, 1730 16th street. The house, which is one of the finest and most commodious on a street where so many fine residences are located, is comparatively new, having been occupied but a short time by its first owner... Ii adjoins the fine residence built about the same time by Mr. Justice Brown of the Su- preme Court. The decorators have just completed the interior ornamentation, ‘and the results of the beautifying process, which have been in progress since last summer, are eminently satisfactory. The house is a double one. The hall is wide, and the staircase a noble feature. The woodwork is quartered oak. The hall is lighted by a large south window filled with stained glass, through which the sun pleasantly filters. The drawing room is in light Frenchy tones. The walls are hung in rose pink brocatelle, and two alcove effects are near- ly covered by mirrors, framed in gilt, very delicately wrought in garlands. These mir- rors add greatly to the size of the apart- ment. The dining room adjoins on the west. On the south side of the front there is a | cozy reception room, in which the prevail- irg tint is pale blue. The library is a beudoirs are the quintessence of dainty luxury in the way of modern appointments ard the many little touches which beto! actual daily use.

The residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Boardman, at the northwest corner of 18th and P streets, reflects their excellent judg- ment in its luxurious and at the same time ctical arrangements.

The house has every possible up-to-date convenience and luxury, 1s electrically lighted and is admirably adapted for enter- taining. a STUDENTS WORK THEIR WAY. Manner in Which Assistance is Gt to Poor Young Men at Columbia. From the New York Sun. Year by year the number of students in the colleges of the country who are self- supporting increases. The many things which a student can do in his spare hours, and the various societies that aid students, make this p ible. In former years Yale was called “the rich man’s college, and was considered an institution at which no poor student could work his way through. This has been all changed, and the number of self-supporting students is proportion- ately as large at Yale as at any other uni- ept those in the citie lt is to these latter that the poor student is most apt to go. Th offer many more advantages than do the others. in a town where the college is the great institution of the place there are few openings for the student. In a large city there are hundreds of opportunities of tutoring, t r acting as amanuens So ne s s flock to Columbia in Ne York city, and the University of Penn nia in Philadel- phia. In Coinumbia and the City Colleg | there are committees on aid to the stu dents. These committees either directly lend money to impecuniots students, tak- ing their notes, payable so raany years af- ter graduation, find suitable employ or ment for them. The student hands in name and states what employment he is capable of working at, and as soon as a place is heard of the student is notified. Professor Kemp, who is chairman of the committee on aid at Columbia, recently asked about the ways and means employed by conscientious but poor students who work their way threugh Columbia. “Every year,” he said, “about 10 per cent of the students apply for aid. The majori- ty are those who are taking post-graduate courses, but there are many undergradu- ates. We generally find places for them which pay enough to keep-the wolf from the door. “Of course, we cannot do much to help the freshmen and sophomores, for they are not capable enough, but we generally find congenial employment for the post gradu- ates. One of them spent his last vacation in Europe as a companion to some boys. During the last election one of the polit- ical organizations hired sixty of the sta- dents to watch the poils, at from three to five doHars a day. We obtained employ- ment for others as detectors of illegal reg- istrators. “Most of the boys make their living by tutoring. We have any number who pre- pare young men for college in the classics and sciences. Most of these students we ; Rever hear of. They apparently studiously avoid us, as do those who obtain work on Saturdays in the retail stores. We can, at a moment's notice, supply students who will translate any letter written in a mod- ern language and many small down town firms have the students go to their offices on mail days. * “We supply lecturers on scientific sub- jects from among the students and a few have given such lectures, explaining the magic lantern pictures, which I lend them, before large audiences, for which they re- ceive reasonable rates. Others tak® classes of boys out on Saturday, explaining the botany and geology of the metropolitan dis- trict. A great many act as book agents and some few are draughtsmen. In this way we obtained between $4,000 and $5,000 worth of employment last year for needy students. We were, however, unable to help 35 out of 169 applicants. But these figures, in addition to the students who do not apply to us, show the great number of students working their way through col- jege. “But this 1s but one branch of our work. We find cheap, clean rooms, with respecta- ble people for the students, and helped over fifty in that way during this month. Those students, bringing letters from the commit- tee, have free medical advice at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Every year we give scholarships, entitling the winners to free tuition, to 10 per cent of the class, So, you see, a poor student, can go through college, if he is but willing to work, just as well as the oputent one.” ——__—_—_-e-_______ A Boarding House Scheme.

Although general orders No. 10 directed that the details be formed in the drill hall, it was fofind necessary to resort to the de- eidedly cramped spage within. the unplas- tered walls of the rifle gallery as the scene of the formal reward of the winners. It has been developed thatggpe drill hall situation is unchanged pending the outcome of the suit in equity recently filed by the Convention Hall Company against the quartermaster general, District of Columbia militia, to provide for an alleged omission in the lease covering the use of the hall. Because of the delay possible in an ordi- nary law suit, if for no other reason, every indication seems to be that the troops of the National Guard must worry along throughout the entire winter minus a drill hall. In Liew of Drill Hall. In this connection, reference may well be made to a recent communication from Sec- ond Lieut. Frederick G. Stutz, commanding Company D, sd Battalion, to the adjutant general. Lieut. Stutz requested permission to use the lecture room of the armory for drill purposes because of lack of facilities. To this the adjutant general has made the following pertinent reply: “Authority to use the lecture room for drill purposes cannot be granted, but it is suggested that the corridor and company rooms afford ample space to enable the company commander to establish and suc- cessfully conduct a school of instruction which should be systematic and progres- sive, and might include suth subjects as military courtesy, guard duty, the princi- ples of extended ordered, ‘etc. It thought, with the exercise of a little in’ genuity, there will be no difficulty in pre- senting features which will benefit, interest and hoid the men on each drill night until the drill hall again becomes available.” Capt. Eugene C, Edwards of Company A, 2d Battalion, regards the attendance at the drills of his commands Monday evenings as really wonderful. This is due, it is said, to the fact thet the program jis constantly varied, something new receiving attention at every drill, the interest of the men thereby being kept from smoldering. The drills are not confined to “fours right” and “right shoulder arms,” Platoon movements have already beeti mastered, and extended order is now being carefully dissected. Rifle Prnctice vs. Drill. The presentattn ceremony Monday even- ing last, while of decided interest, was not without amusing features. One of these was the many an@ varied styles of salute exhibited by the individual winners. Of the entire number but one man advanced to the front ant céiter and executed the rifle salute properiy, and he was rewarded with generous appiduse, in addition to the prize won. Most of the winners attempted a@ combinetion of the 1891 and the new drill regulations, while a few resorted to tactics supposed to be several editions earlier than those of which*one Gen. Hardee was the author. The exhibition was but another indicatton that. the, expert riflemen pay practically no atténtion to drill, and it. is Tumored that conshWrable energetic’ stir- ring up in regaf ‘to’ interpreting the drill »régwiations fs to folTéw at once in certain commands. she?

Colladay received as fourth p the Columbia match, and a box of cigars as a special prize for making the highest average in the seven military matches. Clocks rewarded the team of Company A, Engineer Corps; the team of the Engineer Corps and the team of the Regiment, winners, respectively, of the company, bat- talion and regimental matches, shot last winter in the gallery. In the matches on the range the prize of the Ist Regiment team was a silver water pitcher; the 2d Battalion team, a Clock; the team of Com- pany B, 2d Battalion, a pair of bronze statues, and the team of the Ist Separate Company a smoking set. Brigade Team at Sea Girt. With the passage of time the p lity of a brigade rifle team, representing the District National Guard, visiting Sea Girt at the time of the annual competitions next fall grows decidedly less. It was stated exclusively in The Star several weeks ago that the abolition of the brigade rifle team, so far as the Sea Girt matches are con- cerned, was probable. This announcement proved such a great surprise that many guardsmen, including several of high rank in the department of rifle practice, express- ed doubt regarding the truth of the propo- sition. An emphatic statement on the sub- ject by the inspector general of rifle prac. tice, therefore, may be of interest at this time. “Yoti may announce with all the emphasis necessary,” said Major Harries to a Star reporter yesterday, ‘that it is practically a certainty that ithe District’ National Guard will not be represented by a brigade team next yearsat Sea Girt: Laying aside the consideration ¢@f expense, it may he pointed out that but! few guardsmen will be able to attend the brigade encampment at Fort Washington in June and then have sufficient time attheir disposal to devote to the required pntliminary practice for the trip. Further, the second annual meeting of the National Rifle: Association at Ordway next fall is likely. to consume any spare moments that the local riflemen find hang- irg heavy on thelrshands. The odds are strongly against am apportunity being af- forded the Jerseymen to entertain an offi- cial contingent from;the District in 1897. Rumored Plains of Bolters. Second Lieut. George W. Evans has been elected captain of Company B, 2d Battalion. In this connection it may be announced that a rumor—afd-an unusually interesting ene it is—is going the rounds to the efftct that the bolting members of Company A, 3d Battalion, are perfecting arrangements te join forces with B of the 2d by means of transfer. However, if the men concerned are dishonorably discharged from A of the 3d that severs their connection for good and all with the guard. Furthermore, it is rot belicyed that Captain Shilling will ap- prove any application for transier until the bolting faction has complied fully with all Cpe ois ara pe ee gompany. 6 ite as interesting as the foregoing is tne declaration that First Lieut. George E. Tralles, one of Captain Shilling’s support- ers up to date, is to be elected first Heuten- ant, and Second Lieut. C. M. Robinson, jr., second Heutenant of Captain Evans’ com- pany. The intention, so {2 is stated, is to make the organizstion a crack drill com- ny an pal ite in the next inter- Senta drill, Suould eather be held. It may be stated authoritatively that, rotwithstanding the present somewhat shattered- condition of the company,’ the Morton Cadets will defend the champion- ship title at the next interstate drill, where- ever it may be hetéd. and Captain Shilling will be at-their head. z Amuteur Rifle Cl The Amateur Rifle Club at its last meet- ing extended untt! January the time that persons may join as charter members. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Holt, Far- Tow and Gheen, was appointed to arrange for the building of a shooting house to be twelve feet by sixteen feet in dimen- sions, at the range of the club. A report of the Thanksgiving day shoot was sub- mitted, the members expressing them- selves as entirely satisfied with the range and the targets. The shooting master has already begun preparations for a competi- tion to be held Christmas day. To Promote General Efficiency. The subcommittee of the committee of officers selected to devise a plan for in- creasing the general efficiency of the bri- gade has been completed as follows: Maj. Winthrop Alexander, inspector general, chairman; Maj. Richard A. O'Brien, 2d Battalion, and Capt. James L. Mock, ad- jutant, 2d Regiment. A report is to be made to a meeting of officers, which will probably be held Thursday evening of nex: week. Notes. The officers’ school of Company A, 2a Battalion, has discontinued its sessions until after January 1 next. First Lieut. William E. Harvey Com- pany A, Engineer Corps, is expected to reach the city this evening, after an ab- sence of several months in California and the west on a business trip. The basket ball team of Company A, 2d Battalion, will meet the team of the Bal- timore Y. M. C. A. in Baltimore January 15. A return game is to be played in this clty two weeks later. Capt. Edgar A. Shilling of Company 3d Battalion, was | married Wednesday evening last. Another who changed from bachelor to benedict during the week was Sergt. H. H. Leizear of the Engineer Corps. g Second Lieut. Frederick G. Stutz, com- manding Company D. 3d Battalion, has re- quested that an election for captain and first Heutenant of that company be ordered for Tuesday evening, December 22, at o'clock. Certain members of the Engineer Corps are wondering as to the whereabouts of the copies of general orders No. 10 that should be ailotted to the command. The corps received no directions in regard to the presentation Monday last and for that reason several prize winners failed to put in an appearance. The National Guard Athletic Association has made extensive improvements to the gymnasium. Among other things the walls ave been wainscoted, more lights have been placed in position and the roof kalso- mined. It is expected that additional ap- paratus will be secured in the near future. For the purpose of perfecting themselves in bayonet drill and the general handling of the rifle, certain members of Company A, Sd Battalion, have organized a special drill squad. Sergt.
