THE CITY OF TENTS Soldier Boys at Fort Washington Ex- hibit Great Proficiency. THE MORTON CADETS RECEIVE National Fencibles Put Up a Beau- tiful Exhibition Drill. THE CURRENT CAMP GOSSIP By Special Wire. EVENING STAR HEADQUARTERS, FORT WASHINGTON, Md., June 16. The sun is shining brightly today over the canvas city occupied by the D. C. N. G., and everything is moving slong smooth- ly. The rays of the sun are more intense, too, than they have been any preceding day of the outing. The heat has had some slight effect on both officers and en- listed men, who were out this morning and again this afternoon for a total of several hours, maneuvering in extended order. With the passage of time matters at Camp Washington seem to grow gradually quieter. The prearranged program, com- mencing at reveille at 5:45 o'clock in the morning, and ending with taps at 10:30 o'clock at night, is followed without varia- tion day after day, and every man on the reservation is thoroughly familiar with and accustomed to the daily routine. They all take’ to it as naturally and as promptly as though soldiering was their chosen walk in Mfe and that they were being paid for it. But they are not: It is merely a matter of duty. As has oft- times been stated, heretofore, if the gov- ernment could be induced to pay. the off- cers and men of the organized militia at the national capital a sufficient amount as daily stipend, while at camp, or at ordered parade or rifle practice, a brigade could be maintained which the entire United States might well be proud of. As it is, however, judging solely by its present appearance and action, it does not seem possible that a volunteer militia organization could toe the mark in better all ‘round shape than the command under Gen. Ordway. Different at Fort Washington. Visitors to camp who have had the op- portunity at any time to cast an eye over the so-called military encampments of Na- tional Guard companies at Atlantic City, Ocean View and like resorts, have had their eyes opened after spending, several hours at Camp Washington. Independent camps of the National Guard are usually synonymous with mock parades, ghost gances and other forms of revelry, by day and night. Such decidedly unmilitary do- ings, too, have been countenanced by the commandants of the camps. It is different here at Fort Washington. The conduct of the men, in fact, {s diametrically opposed to such actions as those described. All in all, the discipline. and general bearing of those in camp is praiseworthy in the extreme, the most vigient form ot amusement noticed up to date having been the induigerce in the national game of bate ball, and the building of a human pyramid by the members ef one of the companies. At taps everybody is in bed who is not required or authorized to be up and etirring, and there are no yells or outeries of any kind, no ringing of bells cr disturbances of any sort, except the calls of the sentinels and the rumbiing of the ambulance, in the event that it should be called into service as it was at an early heur this morning. Observance of the regulation in the mat- ter of salutes is also worthy of note. There is no shirking in that regard, as might be expected. Eniisted men go out of their way to pay courtesy to commissioned officers, ‘They do not consider Jt a humiliating act, but a matter of military duty as much as is any other requisite prescribed in the regulaticns. In short, Camp Washington is a model in every sense of the word. Mortons the Heroes. Just at present the members of Company B, 2d Battal‘on, are the keroes, eo to speak, of the District National Guard and of Camp Washington. Under its official desig- nation, Company B, 2d Battalion, may not be recognized by persons not ccnstantly in touch with the guard. For their benefit it may be well to explain that this organtiza- tion is the Morton Cadets, the holders ct the title of champion military company ot the United States. | The Mortons rzportéd at 4:30 o'clock yes- terday afternoon, to be mounted as provost guard, and the manner in which they went through the ceremony was nothing short ct a revelation. It was by far the finest ex- hibition seen since the opening of camp, in every respect, and as the boys marched off the drill ground there was a spon- taneous, enthusiastic, sincere and long drawn-out demonstration in the way ot hand-clapping. When the company reaca- ed the provost guard tent !t was called to attention by Capt. Herbert Slocam of «he ith United States Cavalry, who ‘s on duty at the camp as instructor of the guard, and complimented on its work in most flattering terms. Capt. Slocum’s Compliment. In his service in the regular army since leaving West Point, twent~ years ago,Capt. Slocum said to the Morton Cadets, he had never seen, in the regular army in a snili- tla encampment or, in fact, anywhere, thing that equaled or approached to the exhibition at guard mount. The thoroigh training of every man of the company was at once apparent in the showing of the organization as a whole, so said Capt. Slo- cum, and he was more than pleased with the company. Capt. Shilling, who was officer of the day, was warmly congratulat- ed on the showing of his company by all the officers, regulars, as well as members of the guard, who witnersed it. “I tried to catch those fellows napping shortly before 2 o'clock this morning,” said Capt. Slocum, in conversation with The Star correspondent. “It was my in- tention to take them unawares, if possi- ble. 1 appeared on the road near the guard tent, and, after being challenged in perfect style, ordered that the guard be turned out. The order was obeyed with most commendable promptness. Every man was properly equipped, and, try as hard as I could, I was unable to find the semblance of rageedness.about the formation. The sentinels on all the posts knew their busi- ness thoroughly. Both Capt. Shilling and his men deserve the utmost credit.” Capt. Charles H. Heyl cf the 23d United States Infantry, who fs to be the next ad- Jutant general of the District militia, con- sidered the guard mount of Capt. Shilling’s company magnificent. The Morton Cadets will continue on duty as provost guard un- Ul 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. Feucibles, Too. While compliments are in order, Com- pany C, 2d Battalion—the famous National Fencibles—should not be overlooked. At the request of the Union Veteran Union, which gave an excursion yesterday to River View, a squad of sixteen men in the Fencibles, under command of Capt. Do- mer, went over to the excursion resort and gave an exhibition drill for the benefit of the excursionists. Tke Fencibies wore the regulation uni- form, with the exception of while duck trousers. On reaching the dancing pavilion at River View they were warmly welcomed by the officer in command of the veterans, and in reply Capt. Domer stated that his SOSOSSSSSO CHS OSS OIIOMOS ESS AYER’S Sarsaparilla Is the original Sarsaparilia, the standard of the world. Others have imitated the remedy.

He de- sired to oblige the union, however, and therefore he and his men had decided to show what they could do. If the drill of the Fencibles was without preparation, those who saw it are wonder- ing today what might be done after prac- tice. The exhibition was described -as “beautiful,” even to the movements in double time on the waxed floor of the dancing pavilion, which were successfully accumplished, and as they left the pavilion the spectators attested their appreciation in_no unmistakable manner. The steamer Pentz stopped at Fort Washington for the Fencibles, and re- turned with them. Almost the entire num- ber of guardsmen at the fort accompanied the drill team to River View. For that reason the camp was unusually quiet, and bore a decidedly deserted appearance dur- ing the evening. J. Pluvius Again in Evidence. -One J. Pluviis got in his heavy work again last evening. He was considerate erough, however, to delay operations till j the conclusion of dress parade. For that fe vor every one was truly thankful. Shortly after the evening ceremony, at which Col. Alexander of the Ist Regiment was the presiding officer, a thunder storm passed over camp, and rain fell with erergy for three-quarters of an hour, mak- ing things decidediy disagreeable. There was a succession of light showers until nearly midnight, when the moon broke through tke clouds, and then all nature was lovely. Con.pany C, 1st Separate Battalion, was Mourted as exterior guard this morning. Company C, 5th Battalion, will assume Guties of provost guard at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, and Gress parade will be held at 6 o’cleck, as vival. Drilling in extended order has been the program for the day, cach regiment being formed as a battalion for that purpoce. Prior to the battalion drills the commissioned oflicers were in- structed in extended order work by Capt. Constantine Chase of the 4th United States Artillery. Washingtonians who are expecting to visit the cam; rext Friday because they understand there will be a sham battle that day bad better make up their minds to rest content with witnessing the regular reutine of the camp. The reason for such a conclusion will be evident as soon as it is made plain that the maneuvers which are down on tle program for next Friday merning are not I'kely to resemble, except iaintly, the traditional sham battle. Parely an Incidental. ‘The proposition is to carry to a iegitimate conclusion the Grills of the camp; the ex- plesion of the few rounds of blank ammu- nition is going to be purely incidental. Furthermore, the maneuvers will not be visible to any persons other than the com- batants and umpires, for the lesson in strategy is going to be given under condi- tions which will render it practically im- possible for nor-participants to be present. ‘The popular idea of field maneuvers is a sham fight on an open plain, such as will afford folk:; who want to look on ample op- portunity to see how the thing is being ccne. But the plan for Friday will pre- clude a1 ything like sightseeing; to witness even a part of the drill, a non-combatant will have to be on horsevack, and even then will have an unratisfactory sort of a time, because he or she would probably get between the opposing lines without very 1: uch of an opportunity to get out. The proposition for Friday is a serious one, full of work and altogether devoid of anything that looks like play soldier:ng. The maneuvers will test the powers of officers and men as they have never yet been tested. The ability of the officer to command and of the men to obey will have an extraordinary opportunity for demon- stration. The maneuvers will commence in the early morning, and will be all over before the arrival of the crowd which is expected to witness dress parade. “If this brigade could only remain in camp for thirty days it would be just as fine in every respect as anything to be found in the regular service,” said one of the army officers last night. ‘That remark started an interesting con- versation, in which officers. who ought to know what they are talking about ex- pressed great admiration for Gen. Ord- way’s command, and insisted that in all the citizen-soldiery in the United States there is nothing better than the brigade now in camp at Fort Washington. From an Economic Standpoint. Viewed from the purely economic stand- point it would be the very best thing to do to extend the period of the encampment to at least twenty days. As things now are the camp breaks up just when the men have succeeded in developing their fitness, and when the experience gained begins to tell. A twenty days’ camp, however, is not to be thought of until Congress ore mak« asonable provision for paying the command. In practically every state of the Union National Guardsmen are paid more or less per day for services rendered while under orders and away from the armory. ‘This is precisely as it should be. A larg percentage of the members of the D. C. N. G. are the officers and men who have to Ay ip heir for a livelihood. These Stak wvants should receive a mini- mum of $1.25 a day in return for the very earnest work they are doing. It would not, of course, be necessary to fey, ahy of those who are government ployes, and, inasmuch as government employes are fn the rity in the le, the ‘total In some of the‘states the for enlisted men runs to per day; large, for that matter, with a fighting force trained to do its duty with thoroughness. The service is altogether voluntary, and is therefore deserving of practical com- mendation. Commisstoners to Visit Camp. The District Commissioners are expected to visit the camp tomorrow. Capt. A. P. Robinson of the genera) staff went to Washington today to convey an offictal in- vitation.. The Commissioners will be re- ceived with honors, and wf have every cp- portunity to see for tHémsélves how the Ironey appropriated by! Congress is being expended. The routine,pf the camp, to which there is strict adheienge, will not be interrupted because of tlie visit. The gen- eral’s idea is to show the @ommisstoners what 13 being done every day. The civil rulers of the District will be conveyed to camp in the steamboat Bar- tholdi, will be received, by, a, staff escort, ard will have an opportunity to listen to Seventeen separate and distinct rounds of blank cartridges fired from ‘the little gem of a Hotchkiss that stands on the left cf the flagstaff in front of headquarters build- ing, seventeen guns being a governor's salute. A Hospital Force Busy. For the first time during gamp the post hespital force has its hands ehtirely full.

During the progress of the exercises the prizes were awarded to those whose work during the year was meritorious, The exhibit of the work of the pupils during the past year was given in the hall on the first floor of the building. The dis- play was not as large as heretofore, and while the work in china was equal to, if not exceeding, that of any previous year, the exhibition of the paintings in ofl and fancy work fell short. The water color and charcoal work showed up unusually well, and the walls of the room were adorned with the pictures. « The China Work. The china exhibit was confined to two large cabinets, and the work of Miss Mary O’Brien was perhaps the best of any. She has a large punch bowl, decorated with several bunches of grapes, very artistically done. She has several other articles in china on exhibition, conspicuous among which is a very pretty cream pitcher. Miss Mary Coulson has a tea set of ten pieces, including a large tray, done in vio- lets and gold, making a very pretty com- bination. She also has a placque, with a miniature in center, and a nicely decorated china card box. Miss Mary C. Clark has as an exhibit of her skill a half dozen plates and tray, with ee gold decorations and daisy decora- tions. Miss Ellen J. Kirby has a very pretty jardinier, with strawberry decorations, a toilet box, pin tray, china inkstand, in pink, a vase finished in dark blue, with Dresden centerpiece, and a Delph plate, the work on all of which is well done. Migs Lillian Kolb has a nice monogram ink set, tray in violets, several plates dec- orated with orchids, and a pretty Delph plate. 2 Miss Helen ScheHer, one of the graduates, has a fine display, including an exquisite Delph cup and saucer, a large tray with a white rose as centerpiece, a cake plate, potpourri, jewel box, handsomely finished in fine work, and a plate, finished in blue, giving a view of Washington's headquar- ters at Newburg, N. Y., in 1782. Miss Margaret Shea displayed a hand- some monogram berry howl, a very pretty vase, a chocolate cup of neat design and a cake plate of unusual shape. Miss Margeret Hurley displayed a bureau set of over twenty pieces, finished in green and gold, with floral designs. There were @ number of other individual displays made, all of which combined to make an attractive exhibit. Water Colors. In the water colors the pictures were mostly studies, eome very natural and extremely suggestive. Miss Mary O’Brien had three pictures, representing a table .| Scene with oysters on half shell, another representing a box of tomatoes and a bunch of asparagus, while a third was a table corner study. Miss Maric Prince also had three water colors on exhibition, which included a fruit study, an cpera eet and a frutt selection. Miss Helen Scheller displayed one pic- ture, a heap of cherries. This was one ot the best pictures of the entire collection. Miss Adelaid Mould had several good studies which attracted attention, the pug dog sketch being the most conspicuous. Miss Edna Donnellan was representéd by a lunch set and a representation of lettuce and radishes, both very natural in appear- ance. Miss May Coulson had only one sketch, and that representing Pandora after church. Miss Ruth Rodgers, as her work, display- ed a lunch set, a table study and a desk corner, all three of which were good. Charcoal Designs. The charcoal work and the pen and ink sketches were grouped -together. Miss Marguerite McGraham had a very pretty study of the play grounds, representing the athletics of the school. She also had @ pretty chrysanthemum eketch: Miss Rosemary Sartoris had a fruit sketch and a scene from the grounds of the academy, which was very natural. Miss Mary Booth was represented by a chemical grouping of bird’s nest, flowers and a flower vase, all pretty. The work of Miss Miriam Stever was a head sketch from a cast and e musical set. A pretty view of the grounds and a sketch of potted plants represented the skill of Miss Ruth Marie Rodgers, while that of Miss Elsie Nagh was a realistic wood pile scene and a pen and ink sketch. Miss Mary O’Brien had a sketch of “Holy Hill” as seen from the academy grounds, with the tower of Georgetown University very plainly seen. She also had a pen and ink bust sketch. Miss McGraham, with her charcoal field sketch and a pen and ink sketch, was rep- resented in the collection. Miss Clara Humphrey had three pictures, all in charcoal, one a bird's nest, the other a fruit sketch, and the third a work basket. os pagel! @ pen and ink sketch. iss Elsie Nash had @ charcoal sketch, which was quite well done.

There are forty-five other members of the force, so that, with the increased number of men, there will be a total mem- bership of 545. When Maj. Moore as- sumed charge of the force, about eleven years ago, there were 267 members. The force has more than doubled during this ume, and the appropriation has been in- creased in the same preportion. Twenty policemen will be appointed to go on duty on the Ist of July, an increase of fourteen privates of class one and six of class two. This increase will mean the promotion of six members of class one now on the force whose records are good.

From the Pall Mall Gazette, The inhabitants of Iceland are commena- ed as the most honest people out. Cases of theft are almost unknown to them, and a murder does not happen once in a genera- tion. There is only one policeman on the island, who spends six months of the year in the north and the rest of the time in Reykjavik, where the only goal is located. According to the islanders, this prison is a magnificent building, in that it is built of stone, and they think it is a direct ‘invita- tion to wrongdoing, GEORGE HOW4KD.. CHARLES KE.
