Yesterday was an exceedingly qulet day in camp and only a few routine orders were issued from headquarters. Com- paratively few people were out to see the soldiers, and these had to limit their attentions to the volunteer organizations, as no visitors were allowed in the camp of the regulars. ! Private Willis Jackson, Company L, | Eighteenth Infantry, died at 9 o'clock | vesterday morning of appendicitis. He was given a military funeral at 4 o’clock, | the .wuy being buried in the Natlonal | Cemetery at the Presidio.

Colonel Jones, of the Idaho troops, yes- | terday furnished his band of twenty-two | men with the instruments that were pur- chased with the appropriation made by the State for that purpose. With the exception of the regulars, the Idaho battalion and Twentieth Kansas, services were held in all the commands at Camp Merritt yesterday. The Cath- ollc Truth Soclety’s large tent was crowd- ed at all three services. At 7:30 o'clock many soldiers from the various regiments attended low mass. It was read by Father O'Ryan, and communion was also administered. At 11 o’clock Father Yorke preached upon ‘“The Value of Souls.” The tent was erowded and o masterly dis- course was delivered by Yorke. His line of thought, developed on the valuation of human souls, was tkat Christ died for men, and that every soul must be meas. ured by our Savior's love. He told the soldfers that they were going to war, where men's bodies were to be used for the single purpose of stopping bullets, but he declared that the soul could never perish, and that it was the duty of every man to be ready when the summons came to redeem thelr souls. In the Seventh California, Chaplain Clarke Pruchad from the text, Second Peter, 11, 18, “Grow in Grace.” His liné of thought was based upon the 1d the suspension | | i’ law of beginnings, and the ordinary law of growth and development. Christian- ity, he said, was no exception to the rule, He appealed to the men not to dwarf and deform their moral manhood while they are in the army, and always to do their duty with a spirit of Christian love toward all men. In the Thirteenth Minnesota, First Colo- rado, First Nebraska and Twentieth Kan- sas, services were also held by the dif- ferent chaplaini Drill was suspended in all the mands, and e men were given freedom until 6 o’clock. ocean beach attracted thousands during the afternoon. ——— SOLDIER ENDEAVORERS.

Hunt of Oakland, & brother-in-law of Governor W. A. Rich- | ards of Wyoming, to Major Foote in the | name of the Governor and the ladies of the State. Mr. Hunt said he hoped that | in whatever position the battalion might | find itsel? the flag would be honored and preserved. Major Foote delivered a very appropriate address, and placed the flag | in_the hands of the color sergeant. | First Sergeant Burritt of Company C, | replied in the name of the enlisted men | and officers. His oration was brief and brilliant, and elicited many cheers for | the Governor, his estimable wife and the | ladies of Wyoming. The money for the purchase of the flag | was raised In twenty-four hours by sub- scriptions from the Wyoming ladies, not | one of whom was permitted to give more than 10 cents. The soldier who delivered the oration at the presentation of colors is one of the leading attorneys of Wyoming and an orator of some note. A e Y. M. C. A. Army Work.
