HAS MUCH AARD WORK T0 DO! Coming Fession of the Presbyterian General Assombly Will Be a Busy One, FOR CONTROL OF SEMINARY PROPERTY Tople Left Over from the Saratoga Meet- Ing to Be Further Discussed—Polyg- amy and the Federation of De minations Also Scheduled. PITTSBURG, May 11.—(Special)—The 107th General Assembly of the Presbyterfan Church in the United States of Amerlca will begin iIn the Third Presbyterian church of this city next Thursday, at 11 m., and continue for about twelve including the two Sundays. On Thursady morning a ser- mon will be preached by the retiring mod- erator, Rev. Dr. S8amuel A. Mutchmore, ed- itor of the Presbyterian of Philadelphia. In the afternoon a new moderator will be chosen, when Dr. Mutchmore will become, by cour tesy, chalrman of one of the most important committees In the Assembly, that on bills and overtures, It is probable that the conservatives be in the majority again. If that is the ca there are plenty of men who have defended the faith “once delivered to the saints,” . e. The Presbyterian church, who will be willing to sacrifice time and strength at the altar of the assembly's service. Many nanies have been suggested, and it would be within the range of truth to say that canvassing, within reasonable and theological limits, has been done by friends of those whose names have been mentloned. Among those to whom pub- lic attention has been called is Rev. Dr Robert Russell Booth of New York, the pastor of the Rutgers Riverside church, wbo has been prominent in religions work in one of the most important presbyteries and synods In the Presbyterfan church during a long pastorate in New York. He has re cently bean moderator of his presbytery. Two other names have come from New York, which has a strong conservative delegatior They are those of Dr. John Hall of the Fifth Avenue church and Dr. George Alexander, Dr. Booth's successor in the University Place ehurch. POPULAR WITH MISSIONARIES. Dr. Hall's name is known throughout the country, for besides being the pastor of one of the m it not the most, important church represented in the general assembly, he is the president of the Board of Home Missions, which has nearly 2,000 srdained mintsters under Its care, many of whom will be present as representatives of their pres- byterles. Dr. Hall is popular with the home missionaries, for, while his salary is from ten to fifteen times as great as theirs, they know that he sympathizes with them in their la- bors and that he fs doing all that lies in his power to increase the funds of the board, which means prompt payment for them, and, better yet, more men for their .fields. Dr. Hall withdrew from the directory of Union seminary, when its trouble with the genera assembly culminated in the breaking of the cordial relations which had existed between them 0 long. He did not vote fu the New York presbytery at the heresy trial of Prof. Briggs, as he was not present at the opening of the trial. It Is generally supposed by his triends that Dr. Hall is a conservative, with lean'ngs toward mercy toward those whose theologlcal opinions differ from his own. Dr. Alexander is more pronounced in his views, which are more flexible than Dr. Booth's, but he is far from being a liberal, BIving ‘the present meaning to that term Ho defended Dr. Briggs, but so did many of his brethrei, who do not hold the views for_which he was condemned. The celebration of the twenty-fitth anni- versary of the reunioin of the old and new school assemblies, which was consummated in the Third church, will be a special fea- ture at the assembly. Invitations have been extended to all the living ex-moderators to be present and take part in the celebration, which will be held on May 23. There will be three principal addresses: Rev. Dr. Francls L. Patton of Princeton college will speak on “The Fundamental Doctrines of the Presbyteriain Church;" Rev. Dr. Herrick Johnson of McCormick seminary, Chiago, representing the new school assembly, on “The Influence of Presbyterianism on Other Churches,”” and Rev. Dr. W. H. Roberts of Philadelphla, the stated clerk of the as membly, on “Growth and Future of the United Church. LAST YEAR'S TOPICS FOR TALK. While there are many toples which are Yikely to cause considerable discussion, it 1s probable that two or three brought over from the last assembly will consume the most time. One has to do with the several theological seminaries of the Presbyterlan church. Owing to the desire of Union semi- nary in New York to withdraw from the assembly, a committee was appointed three years ago to consider the relation of the seminaries to the church. As the committee was largely conservative in its makeup, and the assemblies since that time have been overwhelmingly conservative, the reports of the committees have borne that flavor. Last year, under the leadership of Thomas Me- Dougall, a report was adopted requesting all the seminaries to change their charters so as to provide that all of thelr funds and property, subject to the speeific trusts, shall be declared to be held by them in trust for the Presbyterian church; that the election of trustoes, directors or commissioners shall be subject to the approval of the general agsembly; that the election or transfer of all professors shall also come before the assem- bly for approval. Fallure to comply with these laws, when secured, shall entitle the asembly to protect the trusts in the civil courts. New seminaries must contain these provisions in their charters before they can be recognized by the assembly, according 10 the report, which also provided for a com- mittee of fitteen to confer with the several seminaries. with a view to securing the necessary changes. The committee was appointed, but it has not been wholly successful In its mission. None of the larger seminaries, It is said, have given their unqualified approval. Princeton, which it was supposed would be the first fo step into line, held off until late in the year and has adopted a substitute plan which its directors think superior to that presented by the assembly POLYGAMY TO BE DISCUSSED. Among the possiible debates is one over a question which is said to have its origin In India and reads this way: “Shall Polyg- amy Be Tolerated in the Presbyterian Church?” It does not seem as though much time should be taken with the discussion of this question, but when it is remembered that the New York presbytery spent some time recently in allowing a missionary from Persia to discuss whether Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, the reformer, was a Panthiest, it is not improbable that polygamy may secure a respectful hearing. Several mis- slonaries will be present from China, Siam, Mexico, Indla, Africa and South America, and many of them came back to this country where thought s so free that it Is not unnatural that they should hear sentences in popular addresses capable of an interpreta- tion far different from that intended by the speaker. While the Briggs case was disposed of two years ago, when the Unlon seminary profes- gor was suspended from the ministry for heresy, It is said that there are extremists who will seck to have Dr. Briges and Dr. Smith, who was suspended at Saratoga last | May, both deposed from the ministry. It is mot probable that such summary action could be secured, and yet the conservative ajority has been so large in the last four assembiies that any resalution could be car- ried which any one of the dozen men pre- sented. It is certain that echoes of the re- cent heresy trials will be heard in the build Ing made sacred by the reunion services of & quarter of a century ago. PHASES OF OWNERSHIP. It is expected that the new Presbyterian heuss, which has been built by the Board of Home and Forelgn Missions, will cause an animated debate, as Mr. McDougall, the Cin- cinnat! lawyer, who has been prominent in the two heresy trials and in the project for the church to secure control of the $9,000,000 held by the seminaries. has recently issued & pamphlet, entitled “Au Address to the Members of the Presbyterian Church,” call- ing attention to the new building. He says | that his sole purpose is to enable the mem- ‘bership of the church to give the question raised by this In ient that careful and will | 13th inst. at St thorough consideration which will ensble the shurch to determine its future policy in re- gard to the disposition of trust funds and administration of the affairs of the several b 0 As Mr. McDougail's pamphlet is followed closely by a letter by Miss Rachel L. Ken- nedy to the two boards In question, protest- ing against the sale of property now held by them, it Is surmised by those interested that there {8 an understanding of some kind be- tween the two protestants, Miss Kennedy, who is one of the Lenox heirs, entered a pr.test against the new building a year ago, but afterward in a letter to the assembly It was understood that she withdrew her oppo- sition. Still another subject of importance is that of federation of Presbyterian and Reformed churches, with which the Presbyterians have been struggling for a year. It also is a relic of former assemblies. Great theological bodies move slowly. The salient features of the plan of federation are these: TO CONSOLIDATE INTERESTS. Its general use Is to bring the various bodies in our country which hold the re- formed faith and maintain the Presbyterian polity into organic relationship. The methods of effecting this aim, as presented in the plan, s the creation of a federal council com- posed of representatives from each of the elght denominations proposing to enter into the arrangement. The specific purposes and prerogatives of this council are not very finitely stated. Its purposes, however, ap- pear to be threefold: (a) to promote co-oper- ation in misison work on the part of the fed- erated denominations; (b) to take such action as will maintain the truth that this is a Protestant Chrisian nation; and (c) to con- duct such correspondence with the highest Judicatories of other churches as will pro- mote concert of action in matters of common welfare. Its prerogatives are twofold: (a), to advise and recommend in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the kingdom of Christ; (b) to finally adjudicate all differences arising be- tween the federated denominations and the council, or between the denominations em- braced In the federation respecting matters under the jurisdiction of the council. This council is to consist of four ministers and four elders from each of the denominations enter- ing Into it. It is to meet regularly annually, and on its own adjournment, and specially at the unanimous cail of its four officers. The expenses connected with the federation are to be met by a per capita assessment upon the communicant membership of the churches embraced within it. il i Several cars of carnival floats are on the road to Omaha; also another car of “Della Fox Bouquet” cigars. et WANTS HIS FATHER'S PROPERTY Renl Estato of Rasmus Rasmussen May Do Fought Over In Court. There Is a considerable chance that the property which Rasmus Rasmuesen left when he dled two years ago will become a bone of contention in the courts. The property is quite valuable and is located on the corner of Fifteenth and Vinton streets, where for some years before his death Rasmussen had 2 drug store. It is now In the possession of his second wife, but one of her stepsons has come to the conclusion that he can trace some claim to at least a part of the property. Rasmussen died very suddenly. At the time his son was married and was living in San Francisco Only a day before he re- cefved a telegram announcing his father's death he received a letter of congratulation from him on the birth of a son. Shortly after he heard of the death he wrote letters to his stepmother and others asking how the property his father had left was being dis- posed of. From one source he was informed that no will had been left by his father and from another that there had been a will. Of one thing, however, there was no doubt. The wife, his stepmother, obtained possession of the property and has been in possession ever since. Rasmussen came to the conclusion that i his father left no will he, being the son of the first wite, would be the first in line for the property, and that Mrs. Rasmussen would have no right to it. Acting on this conclusion he wrote to Attorney Holsman and asked him to take care of the case for him. He received several letters from the laywer, one in particular asking him to forward all the proofs in his possession showing that he was the son of Rasmussen and his first wife. He did so. Holsman then wrote asking for $25, but Rasmussen did not have that amount of money and consequently did not send it. Since that time he has not heard from the lawyer and the latter still retains all proofs which tend to show that he is the legal son of Rasmussen and the first wife. Rasmussen, however, wrote to other partles and in reply he received a letter signed “J. M. Eller.” This letter stated that the signer had examined the will and found that his pame was not mentioned in it. He determined to examine into the matter a little more closely, and as he was unabl to come to the city himselt he sent his wife She arrived yesterday afternoon, and being a stranger in the city her first visit was to the second Mrs. Rasmussen. She, however obtained very little satisfaction. She states that Mrs. Rasmussen acted very queerly and said that if she would leave her husband she would do something for her. As an inducement she gave the information that Rasmussen was at one time confined In an insane asylum. The younger Mrs. Ras- mussen refused to do this. She proposes to see some of her husband's friends in the city and try to induce them to look into the affair. ‘She wants to know whether a will was ever probated, and if there was, to find out if it was genuine and what it contained. i i Onoe of the Miiwaukeo's West. “‘Short Journeys on a Long Road” is the very pleasing title of the latest of the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul series of publi- cations advertising the beauties of its north- ern’ lines. The book comes fresh from the press of Poole Bros., and Is in all essentials one of the handsomest mechanical produc- tions seen in a very long time. The literary work has been done by an Omaha woman, Mrs. Annie Turner Preston, who has given in excellent literary style pleasing descrip- tions, bright bits of word painting, with here and there enough of the patols of the street to make the whole very delightful reading. The book is printed on heavy calendar paper and is crowded with half tones that far excel any of the other railroad publications that may be found on the counters of the lines holding out glittering inducements for the weary, tired tourist. It is more than a mere advertising pamphlet. It is worthy a place in the library, not only for its truthfulness, but also as a crowning bit of the printer's art. The claims of the Milwaukee, not only as a scenic line, but as reaching many of the swell places of the middle third of the continent, are evidenced by descriptions of Oconomowoe, Waukesha, Palmyra, Madison and other nearby summer resorts in Wiscon- sin, the Dells of the Wisconsin river, Elkhart lake, Green bay, Ontonagon and other points on the Superior division. But the book is not confined to pen pictures of places where the swells of the high world show themselves in summer, when the mercury is climbing toward the top of the tube, but the out-of- the-way places come In for a goolly share of attentfon at Mrs. Preston’s hands, places where the trout hide, where bass may be taken, and where the fresh water tiger of the fishes, the muscalonge, may be found in some of the upper Michigan and Wisconsin lakes. On the whole, it is the very best of a big railroad’s attempts to place before the public its manifold attractions. Yale Froshmen Won the Debate. NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 11.—The honor of stemming the tide of Yale forensic defeats has fallen to the freshman class. In the de- bate held with Harvard '98 this evening they clearly outclassed th: Harvard speakers. The question was ““Resolved, That the president’s term of office be Increased to six years and that he- should be_ineligible to reselection.” Harvard had the affirmative. were Charles Grilk of lowa, C. E. Morgan of Pennsylvania, and H. L. Reynolds of Georgia. The Yale speakers were C. E. Juliuk of Illi- vols, Hiram Blandham, Hawalian islands, and F. E. Richardson of New Hampshire. e Discrimination Against Jobbers. AUSTIN, Tex., May 1l.—After a lengthy discussion between Texas jobbers, railroad agents and the commission, action was de- ferred on state and Interstate rates on job- bers' shipments until after the meeting of the Louls, at which some solu- tion will be sought upon this tangled ques- tion. Commissioner Reagan asserts that if the St. Louls meeting does not put the Texas Jobbers on an equality with Chicago and St Louls on common point interstate shipments they themselves will do it, even though it @id precipitate a freight war in Texas.

ASTRIDE A SYRIAN CYCLONE Sensations Prcduced by Railroading in the Holy Laad, RETURN TRIF ON THE JERUSALEM FLYER An American Englueer's Novel Experience In the Far Kast — A Jafta Hotel Keeper's Rare Way of Caring for His Guests. (Copyright, 1896.) Nearly all the “places” of Interest in and about Jerusalem have been collected together and are now exhibited under one roof—in the | Church of the Hcly Sepulcher. go there first, but Most travelers they should not. One should go first to the Mount of Olives, survey | and try to understand the country. It is easy to belleve that this Is the original mount. There at your feet Is the Garden of Gethsemane and beyond the gulch of Jehosaphat (for 1t §s not a valley) is the dome of the marvelous Mosque of Amar. It is easy to believe, also, that the dome of this Mosque covers the rock where Abraham was about to offer up his son, for it is surely the highest point on Mount Moriah. Looking along the wall you can see the Golden Gate, with the decay of which, the Mobametans say, will come the fall of Islam, Just as the sultan’'s power shall pass away when the last sacred dog dies. Looking down the canon you see the old King's Garden the pool of Siloam, the Virgin's well and farther down some poor houses where the lepers live, Still farther, fourteen miles away, and 4,200 feet below you, lies the deep Dead sea, beyond which are the hills of Moab. If you have been lucky enough to come up here without a gulde, or dragoman, with a bosom full of ivory handled revolvers and long knives, you will sit for hours spell- bound. Like the Catholie church, the guide tries too hard to give you your money's worth. He will not allow yoi to use over these things, which are reasonably real and true, but will tell you the most marvelous stories, which you cannot believe. He will show you the grave of Moses, and I am told that the scriptures say: “No man knoweth where his grave is:" wet if you doubt the guide feels hurt. He will agk you to harken to the “Going in the Mulberries,” and if you say you don’t hear he is sur- prised. CHURCH OF THE HOLY SEPULCHER. I made no notes of Jerusalem, for I did not and do not intend to write of it. It was well done long ago by a man equally inno- tent and more abroad and has not changed much since, The Turks are atill on guard at the cradle and the grave of Christ to try, to keep the devout Christians from spattering up the walls with each other's blood. The lamps have been carefully and nearly evenly di- vided between the Greeks, Catholics and Armenians, as well as the space around, and the time for worship. It was Sunday when we entered the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. The Catholics had first place in the grounds —for they do not worship in one place—fol- engine in the back *fl:un until it is brought down to reasonable pace. When you hay nearly stopped you go ahead again, just Jou did befors, and g0 on repeating the per- formance to the bottopy of the hill, twenty- five miles, and 2,000 féet below Jerusalem. The balance of the Jeurpey over the Plain of Sharon is less hazardous. The engine driver is a Frenchman, and extremely careful and competent. He never allowed the train to get beyond his conthalTor a single moment, and he has on the whole about as difficuit a run as_there I8 east of Pike's Peak At Jaffa, as at Cowstantinople, you must take to the sea again, for there are no more railroads here. STORM BOUND' AT JAFFA. When we arrived'at Jaffa we found the sea_coming in mountains high, and were told that no ship had been able to land for three days. For nearly a mile from shore the sea was white with foam and yellow with sand. The wild billows came tearing through the rocks tha* stand out in the sea, broke on the walls of the houses and leaped to the tops. Far up the beach the wave ran high on the drifted sand, and the wind, blowing hard | trom the African coast, pulled off great flecces of foam that went out over the des- sert and flecked the sides of passing camels. And when the sea ran back again it showed in the swirls the grinning skeletons of lost ships that had been driven there and wrecked on_the reefs. Every day we could see a passing steamer rolling and pitching efght or ten miles from shore. At the end of an hour or two she would steam away and leave us. This was the third day, they said, and the sea would surely go down that night—but it didn't Then it looked lfke rain, and Prof. Hardegg, the manager of the Hotel Jerusalem, said if it rained the sea would surelr subside, and we hoped again. The next day it rained. It contlnued to rain, almost without ceasing, for forty-eight hours. At night we were lulled to rest by the moaning sea, and at morn when we awoke the sea was still sobbing away. One evening I called on my friends, the English officers, at the Hotel Jerusalem, to learn the latest prophecy. There were six of these officers stranded here, for their ship had parted her cable, left her anchor and gone to sea. The good old Hardegg said: *The sea will go down tonight, for it is the sixth day, which is the limit.” On the strength of this, some one ordered a bottle of brand NOVEL ATTENTIONS OF HOTELKEEPER. In a little while young Hardegg, a youth of 14 or 15 springs, came in with a number of pamphlets. We each fook a copy and found they were “Bible Pills, by Silas Hard- okl ‘Bible Pills’ consited of brief texts from the testament and short sermons from Hardegg. They were a hard dose of pllls; but of course I was not compelled to take them—I was only a caller; but the poor Eng- lishmen had them three times a day and on golug to bed. Presently the boy looked in again and sald “‘Father says you can have just one more bottle and not another drop.” But one taste of the first bottle had ended In our taking the pledge, o this gentle hint was lost. “George Henry,” the professor had said when I called that evening, “take the gen- tleman up to Martha.” [ followed the boy away, musing the while and trying to reason out who Martha was, and why I was going to her room. Yes, there was her name in white porcelain letters on her door. The boy knocked gently, and my heart beat wildly, To avold starfng into the lady's room I turned away, and saw “Jacob” on the door Just opposite Martha's. Then I looked along down the narrow hallway and read on the STREET SCENES IN JERUSALEM, lowed by the Armenians. These were mostly women and children, and they seemed frightened when the others came up behind them. Behind the Armenians were the Greeks, led by a large, dark-bearded man, who looked as flerce as a sea pirate. The Greek battalion were mostly men, and they seemed more bent on overtaking the others than on worshiping. Their leader came so near to the vanguard of the Armenlans once that the smoke from the censor he was swinging swathed the dark faces of the oth- ers and reminded them that it was time to go. The Catholics, running as first section, were encountered and turned on their follow- ers. The Greeks came nearer and the face of the dark men was one that would make you walk on the other side of the street. The Armenians were powerless. The Greeks broke out afresh and drowned all the rest, and just as the dark man turnel from his followers and advanced toward the hemmei- in Armenians a Turk with a loaded musket stepped quietly but firmly in front of him and held the Greeks back. What strikes the traveler most forcibly on seeing Jerusalem for the first time is the littleness of everything. The Mount of Olives is a little mound; Mount Moriah is a scarcely perceptible rise of ground; Mount Zion is a gentle hill; the valley of Jehosaphat is a deep, ugly guich with scarcely enough water in it (o wet a postage stamp and the Tyraproan valley is an alley. Then you look at the unspeakable poverty, the dreariness, the miles of piles of hueless rocks, and are interested. The desert is interesting because it 1s desolate, but it is an awful interest. The people—the beggars that hound you—are as poor, as dwarfed and deformed as the gnatled trees that try to live on the naked rocks. But what is to become of this old Jerus lem? Prof. Bliss, the archaeologist for the Englieh exploration fund, is prying into the secrets of tue poor old ' earth, and has al- ready uncovered hundreds of feet of old wall, which changes the location of all the his- toric places, so it will all be different in the new Jerusalem which this inquisitive Yankee is unearthing. When Gordon Pasha dis- covered the place of the skull and set up a new Calvary there was a commotion, but when Bliss gets through, what a time they will have collecting thelr historic‘places?” A MEETING WITH THE LEPERS. One day in a narrow street we mot two women who nearly blocked the way. “They are lepers!” cride the guide, pushing me by them. 1 started to run, for never had the voice of man thrilled and filled me with such fear; but remembering my photo- graphic machine, 1 had the guide throw them some coin and made a picture, but not a good one. I was surprised that the poor beggar near whose feet the money fell, made no eftort to pick it up, but continued to pray to us, and waited for her companion. Then I saw that there were no fingers on her hands. Another thing that surprises one ls that the moment you have seen it all, Jerusalem becomes to you the most melancholy locality on the face of the earth. It was so with us, 1 know, and when the time came to not one ‘of our party missed the train ON A LOCOMOTIVE TO JAFFA When the Syrian cyclone begins the de- scent from Mount Zion to the sea you are led to believe that you will reach Jafta in about an hour. But when the train has gone a quarter of a mile the careful driver re- verses the engine, opens the cylinder cocks, and you think by the swish, swish, of the escaplng steam that there is an open switch just ahead, but you are always wrong. The truth is, they have no airbrakes, and the is obliged o hold the traln with the | others doors, “Jacobus,” pus,” and “‘Paul.” ‘ It was Friday morning when a ship from Egypt landed her passengers, and altiough she was going to Bierout, where we had been and where we did not want to g, we took passage, saying, like Byron, that we cared not what land she bore us to save not again to Jafta. REFUSES TO BECOME AN ADMIRAL. On the following Monday, just ten days from the day we came down from Jerusalem, we anchored egain near the rock of An- dromeda. The sea was smoother now. The battleship was fishing for her anchor, found it, and just after dark whistled and steamed away from Malta. From the deck of our steamer I watched her away and felt that I had six trus friends, new-made but la:ting, in her crew. And I thought how hard it would be for me to shoot her up and send her to the bottom of the sea with all those folly good fellows aboard; which I should surely do if we had a war and I were an admiral. Then I remembered how, one night at midnight, in a company composed of almost every nationality, when the Russian vice consul, looking at me, the only Ameri- can, raised his glass and sa ““Monsieur I'Americein,” how these six English officers stood up all at once, with one accord, and as lustily as they had sung “Tommy Atl sang “Hail Columbia, Happy Land,” and I rejoiced that I was not an admiral. She was far at sea now, the lights were growing dimmer. Suddenly the search-light was turned on and shot a streak across the sea which seemed to reach Europe. Then changing quickly she swept the waves toward Egypt till you fancied; you could see the pyramids; and swipgiog round the great glars came down the coast and found Jaffa, and from our ship, a mile from shore, we could read the signg apd count the window- panes and sce the sash,, Another move, and the light rests on oyr &hips, and in the glare I raised my cap and wopdered if they could see us. Then as guddenly as it came the light was gone, the_battle ship sped on her way, and, hoisting anehgr, we steamed away to Port Sald—to Bgypi. .

Miss Baymiller, a Mempbis young lady, whode relatives live in Omaha, delightfully entertained the soldler boys. The interlude and encampment lowering skies cold temperature, number of visitors in the city and presence, with the elaborate decorations of the buildings, gives the streets a gala appear nce. The exercises of tomorrow will be onfined to the organization of the camp at Montgomery park and the presentation of the different military commanders to the young ladies who have been chosen as their “‘sponsors.” The troops already here are: The Thurston Rifles and the gatiing gun detachment of the Omaha Guards of Omaba; the Fencibles and Morton Guards of Washingtc McCarthy Light Guards and Fletcher Zoua of Little Rock; the Seeley Rifles of Galveston, Tex.; the Chickasaw Guards (two companies), Governor's Guards and Neeley Zouaves of Memphis and a detachment of United States troops.

Despite the chilly weather, the crowd at Montgomery park this afternoon to witness the formal opening of the drill numbered up- wards of 3,000. A large majority were ladies. Their enthusiasm for the sturdy sons of Mars was hearty. The feature of the opening ceremonies was the presentation to the various companies o their sponsors. Af- ter the troops had been called to dress parade shortly after 3 o'clock, the sponsors, with their chaperones, representing the best so- clety of the city, were driven in gaily dec- orated carrfages to positions in front of their respective companies, where the presenta- tion occurred, and the colors were delivered to the sponsors. Then followed a parade around the grounds, the companies forming in the following order Major General R. B. Snowden and Colonel W. H.
