Se T0 TAKE PLACE THIS MONTH Young Officers Upon Whom the -Responsibility Rests. ——— THE EIGHT COMPANIES ——— The climax of military life in the High School Cadet Regiment will be reached May 27 and 28, when the eight companies will contend for honors and the “red rib- bons” in cqmpetitive drill. The company feeling Is almost as intense as the school rivalry, and as each company has a body of friends and supporters who will “root” for them on the eventful day of competi- tion, and as each body of “rooters” will be provided with ribbons and flags, the em- blems of their favorite company, the scene will be noisy and out of the usual, but very attractive to onlookers. As is usual, Capt. Constantine Chase of the 4th Artillery, stationed at the arsenal, will be asked to judge the contest, assist- ed by any other two army officers of kis choice. The military committee in charge of the drill arrangements has secured the National Base Ball Park for the use of the Wagner. The companies of the Ist Bat- talion will driil_the first day, in the fol- lowing order: Company B, Capt. Hansen; Company C, Capt. Tisdell; Company D, Capt. Platt, and Company A, Capt. Ray. The 2d Battalion companies will driil the Capt. Ray, Co. A, Centr: second day: Company G, Capt. Bryan; Company H, Capt. Smoot; Company E. Capt. White, and Company F,Capt. French. At the end of the second day's drill the cadets, under the command of Col. Daniel, will give a regimental drill, assisted by the Mount Pleasant Field Band. At the con- clusion of the drill the winner will be ar- nounced, the flag and ribbons presented to the company and the Allison Nallor medal pinned on the breast of the victorious cap- tain. The regiment will then march to the Central school for dismissal, the members of one company glad and happy, the others sad and digappointed, for it is needless to say that every cadet and officer thinks that his company fs the only one that can > stbly win. It ts hard to form a good opinion of what @ company will do in competition, using . Hansen, Co. B, Central. & guide their present work, for it is a known fact that the best companies have gone to pleces in the last week or <o from over-confidence in their abilities, while companies that have been tail-enders nave taken @ brace and made a creditable show- ing. Any movement omitted during the drill cannot be taken up lier and will be mark- ed ae © One movement does not imply that the next one can be executed direc‘ly, but the captain is to use his own judgm=nt as to the best way to lead up to the next command. No time limit is placed on the captain this year, as has been the custom hitherto. A word or two about the companies and Capt. White, Co. E, Central. their merits will prove interesting to those who are trying to pick the winner. The Central school paper, “The Review,” in its last issue has this to say of their com- pantes: “Company A is a splendid company, both in appearance and in drill, as it nas full ranks and the boys are well sized. Capt. Ray drills the company in a snappy man- ner, and the movements are executed with @ great deal of spirit. The officers assist the captain in a very material way, by their constant reminders of errors made by bad or careless drillers.” Captain Ray is a steady, capable ofMf- Capt. French, Co.

Al- fred Sze, who are both good officers and So fe es = ss ar perform Veit part of the work, both in platocn movements and correcting mis- takes, in a very satisfactory manner. The sergeants of “A” are very good. The roster is as follows: Sergeants, Piper, Bogen, Heyhunn, Fuger; corporals, Reed, Frost, Robertson, Hatton; privates, Hen- arich, Duckett, Tobey, Roberts, Brinker- hoff, Funstall, Ely, Arms, Houghton, Walker, Black, Hampson, Prince, Evans, Schayer, Paul, Nyman, Ballard, Smiley, Lamb, Swann, Denison, Church, Harrison, Bache, Saffo Billiard, Bishop, McCor- mick, Mussey and Craige. Company B of this year is modeled con- siderably on the style of Company B of year. last Captain Hansen received his Capt. Bryan, Co. G, Eastern. preliminary training upder Captain—now colonel—Daniel, and he 1s following in the footsteps of his preceptor. This company has been In rather bad repute among those who are would-be pickers of competitive ! drill winners and at first glance one can cadets, through the courtesy of Mr. J. Earl j hardly tell why this is so, as the company is made up of good material; the officers ere efficient and painstaking, yet it must be admitted thit the company has not progressed quite as fast as some of its contemporarics. The company is especially strong in its platoons movement, and the executicn is prompt and satisfactory. Captain Hansen is one of tne sieadiest and most earnest officers in the regiment. He takes a vast deal of interest in his company, and under his direction it is rap- idly getting into splendid shape. Lieuten- ants Tisdell and Wild are both efficient officers, and handle their platoons in ex- cellent style. Sergeant Wheeler, the right guide, is a very steady man, and sects a nice, even step for the company. The ros- ter: Sergeants, Clark, Wheeler, Barnard, Karpeles, Stormont; corporals, Murphy, Bradford, Crowell, Johnson; privates, Barrhart, Bell, Coon, Doing, Durdin, Fer- now, Fish, Griesbaur, Gonnell, Hamnin, Heap, Howe, Lowell, Merwin, McKeldin, Nolard. Peter, Plumbley, Ramskill, Re- nuud, Richards, Rogers, Taylor, H. Wag- staff, E. Wagstaff, Wainwright, Wooiver- ton end Young. Company C has been badly handicapped by the loss of Captain Howe so late in the 1ace. This company was right up around the head of the procession when Captain Capt. Smoot, Co. H, Western. Howe ieft. The military committee showed excellent judgment when they appointed First Lieutenant Tisdel to the captaincy of the company. He was the only available candidate who could possibly take the com- pany in hand and go on with the work as nearly as possible where Captain Howe left off. His appointment was greeted with great satisfaction among the well-wishers of the company and the regiment generally. Captain Tisdel is ably assistel by Lieu- tenants Fuller and Gheen, who are beth painstaking officers. Company C’s roster: Sergeants — Norwood, Everman, Merwin, Costigan, Turtle; corporals—Paschall, Dear- doff, Washington, Alden: privates—Adams, Atwell, Augusterfer, Adee, Bateman, Beck- er,Brown, Churchill, Chase, Duncan,Heath, Hazelbarth, Knight, Lewis, Paschail, Prin- cle, Paige, Reinoh!, Robinson, Slack, Shipe, Seffold, Temple, Thomas, Wilson, Wain- wright. Company D is looked upon with much fa- vor by those who pick a competitive drill winner. The company has spiendid dis- cipline and plenty of company spirit. Ev- ery man works hard and does each mov ment just as well as he can. This company is polishing off its movements very fast, bas mastered the theory of the movements and now is working to perfect each detail so as to make perfect, graceful evolutions. Captain Platt is one of the coolest and most clear-headed captains in the regiment. He has worked his company up to his own style, and the drill it puts up is steadiness personified. Lieutenants McKean and Ed- monds aye energetié, reliable officers, who are always looking out for the best inter- ests of the company. Company roster: Sergeants—Young, Hoge, Tracy, Gerry, Mopsikow; corporals—Wer- eke, Shuster, Gunnell, Stuart; privates— ranger, Fitzgerald, Murphy, Wagner, Wil- liams, Hart, Haas, Hodges, Jones, Whitney, Parson, Ellis, Geare, McLean, Goodrich, Snelling, Clark, Cleveland, McLaclen, My- ers, Johnson, Baum, Arms, Kelly. Captain White of Company FE drills his company in a manner that is sure to catch the eye of veterans. There is no rush or hurry in this company, every man has his mind set upon his work, and the best of discipline is always to be found. The drill lacks snap, yet it shows careful work on the part of the officers, who are untiring in their efforts to turn out a company that will bring honor and prestige to the Busi- ness. Lieutenants Burgess and Finn are g00d officers and carry themselves well in the intricacies of platoon movements. Company roster — Sergeants, Bridaham, Ball, Amiss, Duffy, Beeil; corporals, Shan- nehan, Hodgson, Ostermayer, Hannaman. Hedgson; privates, Atlee Connor, Chatter- ton, Darby, Ernest, Ellinger, Fryer, Gates, Gauss, Gossage, | Heidenricn, Hoffman, Hunt, Ingraham, Jesse, Kern, Lehmen, Luchs, Maddux, Mahany, Marr, McKnew, Mowatt, Ray, Richmond, Sacks, Schofield, Street, Tydings, Weideman, Weyrich, Wil- son and Young. Company F—Company F, last year’s prize winner, is captained by Walter French, a direct descendant of last year's company, who was first sergeant of the same com- pany last year. Capt. French has the following to say in regard to his command: “I have no reason to fear that our showing will not be an ex- cellent one. We are working hard and con- scientiously, and certainly intend to defend the flag with as much credit as it was won.” Lieuts. Pierson and Patterson are first-class men. Company F roster is as follows: Ser- geants, Bethune, Covell, Smith, Wright, Dobson; corporals, Buck, Embrey, Hoover, Trow; privates, Baden, Bride, Bryan, Corn- well, Etzler, Freeze, Galliher, Glancy, Hil- der, Hoeke, Hoover, Hopkins, Lee, Linden- kohl, Montgomery, Mundelle, Potter, Rich- ards, Snell, C. E. Snell. Charles Swell, Stonebraker, Terry, Wright, Zurhurst and Bliss. Company G Is ably commanded by Capt. Richard Bryan, an energetic offices, who is pushing his command forward as rapid- iy as circumstances will permit. The com- pany is fortunate in having such Heuten- ants as Yount and Hand, who are both fine instructors and masters of all the fine points in platoon movements. : The company roster: Sergeants, muller, Berry, PeGrain, Harrison, Colquitt; corporals, Brown, Parson, Graham, Hoov- er: privates, lams, Bourne, Burroughe, Candee, Clark, Evans, Ford, Funkhouser, Hughes, Lawton, Mellor, Poston, Potter, Powell, Richardson, Ricketts, Reege, Rhodes, Sanderson, Spruceban, Test, Thom, Wallace, Bryson, Herrington and Wahler.

Fiom the Pittsburg News When John Stuart Mill was a boy he often visited at Fort Abbey, Dorsetshire, one of the noblest and most expansive houses in all England. In his autobiogra- phy Mr. Mill remarks more than once upon the widening effect produced on his character by these snacivwus halls. these airy corridors, these park-like stretches of meadow and pasture iand. He was not cabined, cribbed or confined; mind and body had elbow room. The observations of Mr. Mill convince every one of the truth in his remarks. To be brought up within the walls of a narrow town, in small rooms, without playgrounds and with nothing but cramped outlooks cannot but tend to result in a starved, abbreviated childhoed; while to be surrounded by great distances means wide views, unlimited aims and ambitions. - Of course mere space will not in itself make a broad character, nor will a tiny room in a tiny house always clip the wings of a poet. But the narrowness of space must furtier restrict the already restric ed mind and generally helps to confine even the naturally oven; while free space must assist in developing whatever is large in either nature. This is especially true when boys are forming their first impressions. Conse- quently it Is claimed that the young men who have received their training in those universities and colleges where there are long walks, expansive campuses and bound- less landscapes over which the eye may roam during the long strolls, the out- dcor games and the excursions indulged in by the schoolboys have undeniably a wider opinion of things both external and inter- nal than has the youth who has been cramped in a narrow town school. It has the same effect as has the stifling atmos- phere of the office and counting house on the young man whose horizon is bounded by a grimy window and the back of a morotonous ledger. It is often said that the narrowest peo- ple of Europe are innabitants of the dcep glens and walled valle the broadest are the dwellers on the plains and pla- teaus. Sailors, from their habit of never living beyond their own deck rails, be- come commonly short-sighted. On the other hand, mountain guides, from their trainirg in looking afar, are not only far- sighted, but will generally prove broad- minded in conversation. It was shep- herds of the boundless Assyrian plains who invented astronomy—the widest of sciences. It is mountaineers, as a body, who supply the mest powerful vocalists to the opera; men trained for generations to yodel across great mountain distances must certainly acquire a depth and ex pansiveness of lung which naturally will develop into a high vocal efficiency. “There never was a great painter,” says Mrs. Meyrel! in one of her essays, “who had not exquisite horizuns.”” Again, the man who has traveled by horse, camel, by boat or by foot is con- sequently broader than the man who shuts himself up in a railway carriage. Gipsies, circus men and even the strolling frequent- ers of country fairs will, nine cases out of ten, show a remarkable degree of breedth of outlook. They can generally read maps with singular acuteness and their characters are generally of the most cosmepolitan nature, they have seen more of man, his temptations, his weaknessvs, and consequentiy are charitable to a degree rarely reached by the narrow stay-at-home who can see only one side to a case. To civilized travelers ev 3 of the tropics has a widening influence, as It upsets at one fell swoop one's con- ceited idea that his own institutions are the erly existing ones which possess ay good at all; political economy and rela- tions of ciasses need a complete revision Wher one has gone out and enjoyed a wider horizon in both men and manners.

There is a formidable lst of literary men of this country who have had places in its foreign service. The list was begun by Thomas Paine and Benjamin Franklin,and it might well have included Thomas Jef- ferson in the number.. Among them were “Washington Irving, who identified himself mast of all with the country to which he was sent; Nathaniel HawtHorne in his En- glish consulship, Bayard Taylor at St. Petersburg, Lew Wallace at Constantino- ple, George Bancroft, John Lothrop Mot- ley, James Russell Lowell and John Hay, at London; William D. Howells, at Venice; Bret Harte, at Glasgow; John Bigelow, in France, and Charles DeKay, in Germany. These are the more eminent examples, and the list might be further extended by a closer study. There was Theodore 8. Fay, who had a considerable reputation as a novelist in his day, long time serving as minister to Switzerland. At home Martin Yan Buren had e novelist in his cabinet in James K. Paulding, arid George Bancroft was Secretary of the Navy under President Polk. Andrew D. White, just appointed minister to Germany, is one of the most eminent of American scholars and authors.
