The favorite of the company, Quarter- master Kiine, has become a benedict, and | the members of G claim that they head the list of all the companies in the State in the number of married men in the ranks, possessing at the present time twenty-nine, with numerous others in prospective. Considerable indignation exists against headquarters because of objections which have been stated against the companies using any surplus which may accrue, or payment of rents, etc., from their $100 ver month State allowance in the purchase of ammunition with which to improve at the butts; and there are many of the enlisted men who openly declare that they will not re-enlist sgain owing to iation which the adjutant-czen- t they should ve allowed to ex- pend their surplus as they please as long as they settle all company stock up in shape. They say thatat present the greatest need of the companies is to improve in their rifle praciice and they think t at the adjutant- neral’s office should not object 1o their ms, or rather vouchers for’ money ex- pended for ammunition, which they claim has been done. The company commanders in this City are in favor of having a sufficient amount appropriated by the Legisiature for en- camument purposes, <o that the men can be paid at the rate of $2 per day while in camp and do their own cooking, etc. They claim that the mejority of the men | are working men to whom it is an object | not to iose a day’s they thould be partially reimbursed while | out on State work. Here:ofore it has been | customary when holding encampments to | hire waiters, cooks, etc., but 1t is thought that encampments should be as nearac- | service as possible: men to erecstheir own tents, cook their own provisions by | messes, and in all way service duty. Itis greatly desired to hear | the expressions of the other captains of | companies throughout the State on this subject. Signal Corps, Third Brigade. During the month of December the sig- nal corps of the Third Brigade took its nnual ‘‘lay-off.” They ushered in the Curistmas month in a most becoming manner by giving their first annual ball on the evening of Tuesday, December 1. | The dance was a most elaborate affair, be- ing held in Armory Hall, besutifuliy decorated for the occasion with bunting, flags and flowers.

The officers’ quarters were open :nd a little extra collation was served to the old war-horses”’ present, among whom_were | Colonel Peeler, Colonel Guthrie, Major | | Wallace, Major and Signal Officer Dougias and other g | cers of the ) ational Guard. A large bowl | of punch, another of lemonade and cakes | | and sandwiches were dispensed (o | dancers in the hall. | The grand march was led by Major Douglzs ana Mrs. Colonel Peeler, while | the colonel himself, who was at the time suffering from a severe sprain occasioned by being thrown from his horse, had to content himself by wafching the dances | from the gallery.

MERCED, Cav., Jan. 14.—The members of Company H, Sixth Infantry, have set- tled down for another year's work aiter | the December holidays and with a deter- | mination to make a showing for their | time. A class in the drill regulations has | been organized, which meets on Tuesday evenings for study and discussion. Ser- geant Guthrie has charge of the class. It will take up a siudy of the drillbook, sup- plemented by a thorouch practicai drill and practice in the giving of commands. Tue object of the class is primarily to fit | the students for non-commissjoned pnsi- | tions. Later, if a sufficient number desire | to take the course, it will be extended to | cover the elements of military science. ‘The resignation of Second Lieutenant D. G. Bambauer has been accepted by the commander-in-ctiief and the election for a successor is expected to be ordered avan | early date. | Muech interest is being manifested | among the members of the company in | the doings of the Legislature. so far as the | National Guard is concerned. A member | the company whose service in the ational Guard of this and other States | extends over a period of fifteen years said 10 the correspoudent the other day: ““We | are closely watching all propositions | brought before the Legisiature on our be- | half and sincerely hope that whatever action they make take will be tempered with wisdom. I notice some 1alk of fur- ther reorganization. { “The spreading of such _ileas will not | enefit us in the least. We want more | encouragement and atiention from our higher officers, and less tinkering with a badly-built code. We have lately been | reorganized, and all we need istime to get settled down to the new regime. Un- | doubtedly there is friction in the First | Infantry; further iegislztion wouid not | help'them, but it would hurt us in_the in- terior reg ments, for we always suffer m | the scrambie for offices that is always go- | |ingonin San Francisco.

SACRAMENTO, CaL, Jan. 15.—There has been a very fair attendance at drill during the past week among the local companies of the National Guard in this city, but as yet they have not fairly re- | covered from their month of rest, and are by no means well up in point ¢t attend- ance and driil. Company E turned out 55 strong last night, and went through the usaal dnli in Y ual exercise. This company is desirous to match twenty to twenty-five men, in a fifty shot to the man contest, with any in the State for a supper, the s to exchange targets and to mu- agree upon inspectors, efc. They tually bave admiited a number of new members and have other apniications on file, which will be acted on immediately. The cavalry troop has aiso returned to their drills and are also coming into form rapidly. They are preparing for a field day to be held in the near future, and are more than =znxious to be supplied with regulation carbines ic order that they may 1mprove at the butts. Company G turned out fifty-four men at drill ou Monday night and practiced at ttee | body movements and man- | and Roblin. When the “Home Sweet { Home” waltz was over, many happy couples suid to one anotner that Lieuten- The | ant Martin’s command hall “done them- oodward | selves proud,” and went home with the intention of meeting the Signal Corps again. 5 The terms of Sergeants Bailey and Mar. tin have expired, but, as they are most in timately connected with the corps, they |'will probably r--enlist. Lieutenant Martin is at present out of town on a trip for his firm through Placer and El Dorado counties. On account of his ubsence the annual meeting of the corps, for the election of civil officers and ippointment of committees, was post- poned tiil January 12. Tne regular annual meeting of the S g- nal Corps, Third Brigade, was neld on the evening of Tuesday, the 12th inst. The reports of the treasurer (Lieutenant Mar- tin), the first sergeant (Bailey) and the secretary (Sergeant Watkins) were sub- | mitted to the assembied members. The report of Lieutenant Martin shows the corps to be in a much better condition | than it ever has been before. Sergeant { Bailey’s report showed the average at- | tendance at drills during 1896 to have | peen very close to 90 per cent. The secre- | tary’s report reviewed the work of the pre- vious year and called attention to the fact | that the signal corps of the various brig- jades had fed all other branches of the | service 1n efficiency, personnel and_ gen- | eral merit, according to reports of the officers in charge of the inspection of 1896. | The following committees were appointed | for the ensuing year: On examination— | Sergeant Bailey, Sergeant Watkiny, Cor- porai Taylor; on finance—Corporal Cosb; Privates Harvey and Leitch. Sergeant Watkins was unanimously re-elecied sec- retary. After the transaction of routine | hI.)gme!sn the members sat down to a little “Dutch” supper provided for the occasion. | \\'O(_)DLA!\FD, CAr., Jan. 15.—Every- thing is quiet in military circles 1n thf§ place. Last Wednesday evening two new | members were admitted, and there are ! two applications on the board to be acted ! on at the next meeting. The company is {in charge of First Lieutenant Ward ut | present, Captain Prindle being at Oroville | on business. A prominent business man | 0. the town has promised the com patiy a flag; s0 we may expect to see it flying | from the new flagpole in the near future, The football team is out practicing every day, and at night hold signal practice in | the armory. The team has a game they | practice for wind callied hand football. | The ball can neither be carried nor kicked, but'must be advanced by punching or by throwing from one to the other. The team is anxious for some of the other companies to get up teams and then play & series of games for the championship, The grand annual ball will take p&ce about the 5th of February. The captain has not as yet found a Thomas g{err, later lieatenant-colonel, | was comnianding the regiment, and he said to Bull: *“For the love of all that's good, Sergeant Bull, woat are you back nere for?” +Ob, I came back to go on duty, cap- tain.” Then a happy thought struck the :aptain, and he asked: “Look here, how | would you Jike to be division commissary | sergeant? You would have plenty of time | there to soak your hard bread and to cook pancakes.” “I guess I'd like that. for me?"” 10 try. 2 Then Captain Kerr rode over to brigade headqguarters and proceeded to business, after this fashion: “‘General, Sergeant Bull has come back. As you know, his mouth is all shot to pieces. He can’t tear cartridges any more, and to eat hardtack is outof the question. Can you get him in as commis- sary-sergeant at division headquarters?" The general squinted, after the fashion when a question that he takes deep in- terest in comes up before bim, and sai “Tom’'—be always called Colonel Kerr " when he didn’t call him *Tom, Sergeant Bul! is as good u soldier as the old regiment ever bhad. Few men would have come back in his condition. I think you ought to recommend him for a commission. He will get along some way with his rations if we can relieve him from cartridge-tear- ing.” ’llz‘hn afternoon a leuter left camp signed by Captain Thomas Kerr, commanding the regiment, requesting that Sergeant Norman 8. Bull b: commissioned a lieu- tenant. Two or three weeks later the commis- sion came and he served the balance of the war, or up to Gravelly Run, as an offi- cer. He was wounded at Hatcher's Run in February and again at Gravelly Run the last day of March. He was shot five times, and three of the wounds were seri- ous ones. Those in his face made him a great sufferer for eighteen years, and re. quired o much attention, 5o much medi- cal skitl, that it used up nearly everything nhe had.' It cost the lieutenant something | to keep Old Glory in the breeze, but he says that if he *‘had 1000 lives he'd rather see them | .id down than to_see that flag come dowu 1u dis race.”’—Chicago Times- Herald. | i | | Can you get it S Y Relief Seemed Permanent.

C. who took part in the big 100-man in- ter Republic rifle match are waiting with much interest for the scores from the island marksmen. News from Honolulu is expected every day. When the First Regiment's marksmen shot their haf of the match on the 10th inst. at the Suell Mound range the weather and wind were against them and the team made but 3952 points out of a possible 5000, or an avera of 39.52 points per man. The latest news from the islands is irom George Manson, who says: HONOLULU, Hawarr, Jan. 7.—At this “writing much interest is baing manifested in this city over the forthcoming interna- tional shooting match between the Na- tional Guards of California and Hawaii. The management of the affair for the Ha- waiian team has been unanimously placed | in the hands of Lieutenant-Colonel Fisner, not only because he is one of the best shots in the regiment, but because of his well-known interest in such matters, and his kmowledge of the men in his com- mand. ‘According to present arrangements the Hawaiian team will shoot their end of the match on Saturday, January 9, and the | result should reach your city by the steamer Rio Janeiro, leaving here the fol- posing the regiment have been practic.ng more or less {aithfully at the buits during the past month to see who is to have the honor of getting a place on the team which is to represent tnese little flyspecks of islands. Colonel Fisber has finally | selented the team, with a few vacarcies to be filled at the last minute. Those al- ready announced are: e;‘ig’ld and staff — Lieutenant-Colonel Fisher Major Jones Captain Shaefer, Drum-major King and Scrgeant-Majors Clay and Elvin. czmpnny A—Bordfeldt, Duchalsky, Pet- erson, Edsman. : Company B—Riley, Cummizs, Olsen, Schmidt, Giles, Hagerup, Schotield, Frasher, Waity, Bolseer 2nd Captain White.

Company G—Rose, Keliipio, Mahoney, Morse, Rose, Wilcox, Kuliti, Devauchelle, Wallace, Sherwood, Kealona, Kapai. Company H—Souza, Costa. There are ninety-three men in the fore- going list, and two averave scores made by them foot up 3996 und 3970 respectively, which will give California marksmen an idea of what they have to beat. Compauy A. does not possess many good shots, be- ing composed mainly of men working on the Government dredger. Company B is represented in the team by ten men, all | good shots. Company C is com- posed mostly of Portuguese and has but a very few good shots. Company D has twenty representativesin the team, the largest of any company, out of whom the best marksmen are Burnette and Johnson, both szle forty-four men. pany E has some good shots or Colonel Fisher would not have selected seventeen men from it 1or his team. There are also some fine shots among tie seventeen men selected from Company F. Company G 1s composed mostly of native Hawalians, their best shot being Sergeant Rose with forty-two. i In an interview with Colonel Fisher that gentleman told THE CALL correspond- ent, in response 10 a question as to what he thought of Hawaii's chances in the coming match, that he thought the isi- anders would win, although it would be by a very narrow margin. *I rely on our weneral average,” said the colonel. *While we have no phenomenal shots like the California teaw, still we may make a bet- ter showing.' —_———— AT SCHUETZEN PARK. A Lively Ccmpstition for Twenty- Five Cash Prizes Presented by Captain F. Schumann. Shooting began earlier than usual at Schuetzen Park yesterday. A represent: tive body of marksmen lined up in front of the Grutli ranges soon after 9 o'clock to take part in the first grand prize-shooting contest of the new year, which is held periodically under the auspices of F. Schumann, the park proprietor. Something like $150 was offered in cash German | ‘The various companies com- | Com- | prizes, ranging all the way from $25 to $1. There were twenty-nine prizes in all. With the exception of forty-five min- utes’ intermission ‘at midday, firing wa continued without ceasing until 5:30 P. M., when the rapialy waning light made it necessary to close the ranges.

First and Fifth Regiment Musket | | | | Shots at the Shell Mound Range. | There was a fair representation of marksmen at the Shell Mound rifle range yesterday, but they were ali of the mili- tary order. During most of the day the lizht was bright; too bright, in fact, to be | satisfactory, for it frequently caused a | blur on the sights and bullseye: Companies A and F oi the Fifth Regi- ment were well represented and the shoot- | ing was up to the average. Itis said that | the marksmen of the Fifth have placed a | chip upon the regiment's shoulder, so to speak, which they would like to see the | best men of the First knock off. Before the last team shoot of the First's crack | team of 100 men; which took place last | Sunday in the inter-republic match with | | the Hawaiian National Guard, the best | shots of the Fifth stated that they would | like to meet the pick of the First, pro- | vided the latter did not go over40 average. | As the average was less than that num- ber of points the men of the Fifth believe that they are in a position te meet on equal terms the regiment thaihas put forth so many good musket shots in thg| past. Arrangements for a team matc:: be” tween the two regiments may be made | beiore very long. Possibly with such an event in view the men of Companics A and F were out to | warm up more than usual yesterday. Of course the more experienced marksmen held their own, and more than this, they put in more time coaching the lesser lights in marksmanship. The scores of the two companies in their monthly medal shoots, ten shots, military target, were as follows: Company A, Fifth Regiment—Bodwell 33, Kohler 27, Gusmore 27, Cren 12, Lungford 23, Corporal Tuit 33, Corporal McGill 40, Sergeant Brin 39, King 35, C.

The conditions were that G. Claussenius and G. Heizman were to shoot against C. Perry and C. Lindecker a match of fifty shots each on equal terms. The odd feuture was that the names of the first two are George and the last twe Charles, and yesterday they were spoken of as the George and Charley | teams.

With regard to legal and street talk on the name or names of the helmsman of the barkentine Herbert Fuller it is timely and interesting to note whatan authori- custom of changing names in that coun- try. The helmsman in the Bram murder trial is known by &t least two names, Jus- tus Leopold Westberg and Charlie Brown. | He bas said that he took the latter name | because certain persons found the former | hard or inconvenient to pronounce, and | this averred change of cognomen has re- | cently raised up considerable discussion if Charlie Brown's explanation is sup- ported in general by the foliowing extract from “‘Pictures of Life in Sweden.”” by Mrs. Woods Baker, printed in New York in 1894, Beginning on page 117, her book runs: “You must never look askance at a Swede in America because he has changed his name, even two or three times, before he has been fairly satisfied with his selec- tion. There is no shadow with him of an alias that has left bad deeds behind itin the old countay or the new. So the Swede has seen men of respectability do at home, so many | nobleman have done so on being en- nobled. Linnwus became Carl von Linne, and Swedenborg’s Swedborg. “The frequency of the ndmes ending in ‘son’ and the prevalence of some of them create great confusion in schools and uni- versities and even in the army and navy | among soldiers and sailors. | “The writer once heard a teacher, pre- senting himself in a bouse where he was a. stranger, say: ‘My name is —. Itis my name by accident. I took it in the semi- nary, where we were too many of the | same name and were_told to clioose an- | otner for ourselves. I liked this one and 1 have kept it ever since.” * * * A son may choose a name quite different from his father's, or even from his brothers’, father was Bishop | than if, in America, he had legally changed his name to inherit a fortune, with some honorable cognomen annexed.” —Boston Herald. — . o+ Scented Danger Ahead.
