10 ANXIOUS TO FIGHT The Mounted Riflemen Are Certain to Be Heard From. ROUGH RIDERS AND CRACK SHOTS Creditable Records of the Men Who Will Command. AND ROOSEVELT ae WooD Along about the time that the boughs rew clad in such Instrous and vivid robes of gr begin to take on the russet garbs of autumn the records of the brave deeds being accomplished in Cuba by the de- voted and valiant soldiers of the United States battling in behalf of humanity and justice will begin to blazon forth in un- dying letters. Maybe before that time his- tory will have had graphic pters of valor added to its already inrilling story, but the experienced observers of past wars Colonel Leonard Wood. ‘who have keenly and deliberately studied the conditions of the existing trouble with Spain are inclined to the belief ihat not until the rainy season in Cuba has passed will the active land-fighting in connection with the cecupation and pacification of the unforturate island commence in earnest. When it does come, it matters not when, there can be no doubt felt that when the tales of keroism are told none will dazzle more with deeds of caring than those re- cited about the mourted riflemen. ‘Three regiments cf cavalry are to be mustered into the service of the United States as volurteers for serv in Cuba. and the one which will be known better py its ap- pellaticn, “The Rilemen on Horseback,” than by its regimental nurnber will be composed of the flower of American knight-errantry, if such a term is permis- sible. ibrave Men in Command. Leonard Wood will be its colonel, Theo- Gere Roosevelt will be its lieutenant col- onel. Those two men are representatives of the men who will follow them, and when the regiment is organized at the rendez- v in San Antonio, Tex: it will com- prise as brave and as fearless, as deter- and as accom- as expert a body of horse- marksmen as the whole world mined and 2s and and enthusiastic plished men can Already individuals who will compose this remarkable band of fighters have been selected and today y out in Utah, Ari- zona, New Mexice Okia- nd and ger for un- ; ent and cnerring marksmanship, they will be joined by score of sojourners who are xpert in the attributes mentioned. “se ren are inured to hard- they are ready Each man has an to any sort of weather and At any sort of country. n the wild haunts of the wi hg up and down precipitous egain pushing their way through i ly impenetrable chapparal and next riding over of sand ava with water now and a molten sun in the zenith, all their vast re lives in the w nd on hill or plait in valley or mountain, they will be equally ready with the ingenuity to make the they will sources have equipped trem. take to Cuba ith which the! circumstances and conditions their experience has inspired and edu: It will be such a band that th "rince would have given nis heri lead; that a a Cus Stuart er an Ashby would have gladly taken, and with triumphant faith have stermed the very gates that Cerberus guards and felt assured of victory. And the m-a at the head of them will lead them into places just without any question o hot and horrible a doubt. Col, Wood's Daring. onard Wood has already marked the y history of the United States with a broad and blazing story of supreme dar- ing. A medal of honor awarded to him by @ grateful Congress of the United States will gleam from his broad bosom when his feet are in the stirrups and his sword points the way to battle. The story of the ecurage and devotion to duty which led the nation to thus honor Col. Wood shows the kind of a he is. In 1886 he w a surgeon in the regula army, ranking as captain, and connected With the Sth Infantry. Geronimo, the Apache, was making a track across the southwest marked with the blood of wo men and babies and the horrible murders of un ted settlers. The Sth Infantry Was without officers of ranie but Wood teok command of ready detachments of the Peerless Sth and took up the terrible In- Gian’s trail. For 2.4% miles he hung on the very worst couatry on the face of the earth. ~ Hung thirst, miseries untold Were the lot of that gallant band, and it through Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt. (Copyright, 1897, Epckwood. N. ¥.) Wood shared all, like any private in the ranks. The trials and tribulations of that 2400 miles were forgotten in the triumph at the end of it, when Geronimo and _his band of renegades were captured. Wood took the band into Texas and had barely placed it in custody when he was cailed upon to carry his men on another awful journey. It was after Apaches again. A 1a band of them, equally as murderous as Geronimo’s, and owning him, too, as chief, s the prey pursued. Wood drove them far into old Mexico, through country civil- ized feet had never trod before, until they disappeared in the mysterious mountains south of the Yaqui river. For years they never dared to come back into United States territory, but the recent killing of settlers on the Mexican border is attrib- uted to them. Pursuing Apache Kid. In 1888 Wood was again called on to exer- cise his courage and unytelding determina- tion in relieving the west of another ter- ror. This time the notorious Apache Kid, worse even than Geronimo, was the object of pursuit. Wood and his men captured the Kid and government sentimentality, which had spared Geronimo’s worthless life, again came to the rescue of as infer- nal a scoundrel as ever murdered women and babies, and Apache Kid was sent to a California island. Ot course he escaped, and at intervals since then he has at times followed his old custom of murdering inno- cent people wherever he found them. Since his peeriess activity in Indian fighting, for which, as stated, Congress awarded him a medal of "eels Wood has been en duty in Calife ja, and afterward in Georgia. His selection as colonel of the mounted regiment of riflemen was made at the suggestion of Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt, to whom the command was first tendered by President McKinley. Mr. Roosevelt told the Presi- dent that he did not have the military ex- perience requisite to command the regi- ment, but that he would like nothing bett2r than to serve as second in com- mand to Leonard Wood. This arrange- ment accordingly was made. Colonel Wood resides at No. 2000 R street, and his door bell has been thumping steadily with the nervous touches of young men desirous of joining the regiment. Very few from the east, however, will be mustered in, and only those who have records in the saddle and with the rifle will be given a chance. Lieut. Col. Roosevelt. ‘Theodore Rooseve?t—no one can help call- ing him Teddy—was built in a mold identi- cal with that which shaped Wood. In per- son and in character there were never men more similar, and when it is stated that the ties of devotion which bind them to each other are as strong as those which held Damon to Pythias it can be realized how enthusiastic the followers of such leaders will be and how willingly they will rush to follow their commands. Roosevelt and Wood, with tast>s in warm and congenial sympathy, are both athletes of remarkable ability, and a good story is told of the pranks they played on some foreigners visiting Washington, one a Ger- man of renown and the others Englishm2n. The German prided himself cn his powers of pedestrianism, so Roosevelt, Wood and himself agreed to take a series of thre tramps, one to be led by each. The Ger- man was a long-distance man and took the lead of the first journey. He carrizd Wood and Roosevelt over many a dusty mile of flat country for thirty-five miles, but both were chipper and ready to go through the Washington Assembly dances when they got hom> and had a bath. Wood led the next tramp, and carried the pair across country in approved hare-and-hounds fash- ion. The foreigner had probably never plod- ded over suck a diversity of terra firma be- fore, and he barely managed to surviv>. Roosevelt, too, was leg-weary indeed. On the last journey Wood was compelled to be absent, so Roosevelt led th way for the German. The latter will never forget it. No sooner had Teddy climbed one hill than he started up another. About six hours of this sort of thing were enough for the for- 2igner. and he gave up the tramp and hired @ country wagon to bring him home. Roosevelt also took several pedestrian- proud Englishmen on one of his muscle- stretching tramps, and, in the language of the peds., “laid "em out stiff.” Hax Proved His Courage. Mr. Roosevelt's record in the west at his ranch out in Montana has proved his cour- age and ability to take care of himself in a most emphatic manner. When he first started his ranch it was concluded among the rough element which surrounded him that a tenderfoot had no business in that section. Roosevelt proved his right to lo- cate by thoroughly thrashing several pow- erful bullies, despite their reputations as “gun playe and today there is not a man in the west more universally respect- ed, admired and popular than “‘Tenderfoot Ted,” as the Montana ranchers love to call him. The regiment these two daring men will lead will be a small one, comprising not more than 850 men, who are being picked from no less than 3,500 ready and resolute volunteers, every one of whom is eager and anxious to be included in the muster in. In the entire 850 there will not be a man who is not capable of riding anything with hair and four logs on it, from a cro: atry Corinthian hunter broncko, and tr i > to plug a tent peg three times e with a Colt’s .45 from the back se going at a full run. Fight? Will fight? Yes, sooner than eat their ra- and behind the gallant Woed and Roosevelt they'll show the truth of this in a hundred heroic ways. ‘There has been a tendency shown in the press to refer to the Mounted Riflemen as th> cowboy regi- ment. Probably every man in it, notwith- standing his abilities as a cow puncner, would be equally at home and at ease in a claw-hammer and an opera hat as he is with a flannel shirt around him and a som- brero flapping its brim over his _ INTEREST AT FEVER HEAT. Hyattsville Stirred Up Over the Com- ing Election. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., April 30, 1598. Interest in the question of bond issuance and the establishment of water works and partial sewerage is at a fever heat here to- day. The opposition is working hard to de- feat the project, and an active canv is being coaducted. Mr. Charles P. Shettle, who was nominated Thursday evening by the anti-bond and water works citizens, to fill one of the two vacancies on the board of town commissioners, has withdrawn from the contest. Mr. Shettle ssemed indignant at his name should have been used. I was both surprised and shocked,” said he to a Star reporter, ‘‘when I learned that i had been nominated as on> of the com- ‘missioners in opposition to Mr. Tierney and Mr. Holden, who are my personal friends, and who were regularly nominated for the positions at a meeting called by the judges of 2lections. If I was to be nominated at all I should have been nominated at this authoritative meeting, and the use of my name Thursday night was entirely with- out my sanction and wholly against my will. Please say that I shall most certainly support Mr. Tierney and Mr. Holden at the el-ction next Monday.” siderable discussion has arisen rela- ive to the meaning of a certain paragraph in the lately enacted bill providing for the improvements. The paragraph relates to the amount of tax2s to be levied by the town commissioners. It is claimed by some of the anti-bond and w vorks men that under the wording of the more than 46 cents on the $100 can, and is intended, to be levied. The advocat>s of the improve- ments repudiated any such construction and declare that no greater sum than 40 cents on the $100 can be levied. > vi team and forty members of Federal ( Lodge, 1. O. O.

MOTHERS’ CONGRESS Second Session of the Organization to Convene Monday. = LADY Tf PRESIDENT WASHINGTO Eminent Men and Women Ex- pected to Address the Meetings. LIST OF THE OFFICERS In Bible days the highest title given, the ndblest sentiment expressed, of a woman was that she was “a mother in Israel.” It was thus that Deborah, the prophetess, was styled after her heroic deed for Israel, and it was a title more exalted than had ever before been bestowed upon a woman. Mrs. T. W. Birney, President. “Mothers in Israel” have been numerous in history, but it was left to the closing years of the nineteenth century to see these Deborahs convene in a “congress,” to dis- cuss ways and means of educating and caring for the young Samuels and Judahs, the Rachels, Rebeccas, Hannahs and Hi- rams, so that they shall grow up in the fear and admonition of the Lord, with re- spect for parents and desire to become use- ful citizens. The first congress of mothers convened last May. The idea of a great national mothers’ meeting had its birth in 1895, in the brain of a gentle, low-voiced, dainty little mother, whose three small children had filled her heart and life so full of the milk of human kindness that refreshing drops. overflowed and reached other moth- ers’ hearts. It was Mrs. Theodore Birney of Washington, D. C., who originated the idea, but she had no thought that such grand results would grow out of her cher- ished hopes. The fairy godmother dreams was Mrs. plans interested her. of her wealth, to make the congres: cess. D; by day the plans widen till at last the whole nation wa about the ‘new woman's fad. Some ridi- culed it, many thought it an eph eral thing, but by far the largest number grasp- ed at the idea, believing that it held the germ of a grand work for God and hu- manity. of Mr: Phoebe and she a sue: 1 out, talking Unexpected Results. The week of the congri came. The banquet rooms of a big hotel were supposed to be large enough for the audience that would attend. The people who came filled all the available room on the lower floor of the Arlington and blockaded the pave- ment in front. Adjournment was taken to one of the largest churches the city. Packed to the doors, still block- ed the pavement meetings were held in the basement of the church, in the class rooms, znd at the hotel. Little side talks with mothers were organized for each dz The interest grew and grew, and the women who had worked so faith- fully to make the first congress a success found themselves famous. There were dele from in the golden states on the EF Rocxies, from the great Pac s, from among the pine tree states of the north and the guif states of uth. England furnished a big delegation. 2 earnest, thoughtful women carried back to their homes glowing reports of the “inspired” congress, and the tiny seeds thus sown have taken reot from one end of the conti- nent to another, and indeed in other lands. The seccnd congress will convene Mon: day morning at 10 o'clock at the Grand Opera Houre, and promises to be even grander ss than the first one. The sessions are oven and free to all. There ! will be present eminent men and women wh? have spent their lives in the study of how best te advance the mental, moral and physical being, and lead the human race to a higher plane of civilization. In the coming congress there will be speakers from all over the world. All Eu- rope has becn talking about the ‘mothers’ congress,” and from far-away India comes Pundita Ramabai, who will tell first how she herself became emancipated from the barbaicus practices of her own country, and thea ho-w she started to help others out of the depths. In all, there will be sixty-five speakers, many’ of whom are platform orators and specialists in their particulars lines. There will be kindergart- ners, preachers, patriotic speakers, talk- ers on domestic science, doctors, lawyers, teachers, proferscrs of music, newspaper aa, Secvetary. writers—ihere will be almost no calling or profession in life that will not be repre- sented by distinguished men and women. The “fathers” are tuking a great interest in the matter and are clamoring for recog- nition in the councils of the “mothers.” “That is exactly what we want,’ one bright young matron said. “It takes father and mother both to make a home, and when we get both interested in this grand movement we have gone a long way on the road to lasting reform.” Mra. Hearst's Big Check. Although Mrs. Hearst will not be pres- ent, as she is traveling abroad, her interest in the movement has not languished, and again she has been the good angel and sent from across the waters the sinews of war, in the shape of a big check.

Each club works out its own salvation in Its own way, and reports to the national organization just what it has accomplished, and the national files it away for future reference. Despite this seemingly desultory way of working, the national officers are forging right ahead, solidifying and systematizing the work, and already can see great re- ults. “The first day of the congress will be de- voted to receiving the delegates, giving out badges, hearing reports of national of- ficers and reports of the clubs represented.
