affairs. The First Artillery Regiment, by
the exertion OF the officers in command,
has built up the companies, erected splen-
did headquarters and to-day the regiment
will compare favorably with any other in
the State and stands at the head i'll quar-
| tiers and accommodations. Company l.,
Captain WeinStock, has lately fitted up It's
room in Armorv Hall in style that is the
admiration of all. The papering, fresco
ing, etc, is credit to the workmen. I'm
like the other companies, they do not
have individual lockers, but their
uniforms are protected by neat
curtain The hall is well supplied with
chairs, and lighted by two beautiful glass
chandeliers, presented by a well-knewn
business house in this city. The dress uni
form of this company will consist OF an
officers fatigue cap, fatigue coat and reg
ulation style of pants, white belts and
gloves. For drill purposes and company
parades it is thought that jaunty polo
! cap will be adopted The meetings Of this
/ company, which are held Monday even
! ings, commence at 7:30. The time until
o'clock is devoted 10 the transaction of the
| cOmpauv's business, after which about halt
an hour is taken up III a recitation OF tao
| tics, which is found to be an admirable eX
ercise for all the members. 1t is an incen-
tive to private study, and has tendency to
| make the men strive to become more thor
oughly informed on technical military
points. Before forming the company for
drill, absentees of previous meetings are
called upon to offer excuses, and the fines
laid down by the bylaws are rigidly en-
forced-only those who have legal excuses
are exempted from fines. The commander
nor the company has any discretion IN the
matter The roll is called when the conf
panv is in line. after which those desiring
to be excused from the drill are allowed to
retire, if the excuse offered is deemed sutti-
cient. Only those who answer roIl-caH are
marked present.
The company is still drilling without
arms, it being the judgment OF the com
mander that the company should become
thoroughly familiar with duties other than
the manual of arms before the handling Of
muskets The zeal, enthusiasm, and inter
est manifested by the members is crafty
ing to the officers. The attendance at all
the meetings has been large and the de
sire to drill almost irrepressible. 1t having
been asserted that the regiment would be
ordered out on WashingtOns Birthday,
the company has decided 10 make that the
occasion OF its first public appearance.
From now until that time there will be
two drills week, at which the usual large
cordiug to military law, commanders OF
companies can appoint the nOn-commis-
stoned officers On the last meeting in this
month an examination in tactics will take
place, which will be open to all the mem
bers of the company. All members who
upon examination score 90 per cent. and
over, will on the following meeting night
take charge Of squads and drill them.
Those while in such command
who make a record of 80, or over
will be declared the exclusive candidates,
from among whom the company shall elect
to fill the existing vacancies As the posi-
tons of the First Sergeant and First Cor
pOral are among the vacancies, there is
great interest manifested, and many OF the
members are struggling very hard. VIM.
Lowell, First Lieutenant of the company, |
having left the city some time since, and as
it is supposed not to return, there no doubt
will be an election ordered soon to fill that
vacancy Company Z has seventy-three
names enrolled among its active members,
and but few more can expect 10 get into It's
ranks.
Those who may he asked to join may
feel themselves complimented, as ii is only
a matter of very short time when appi
cations will have to go on file and wait
their turn. During the month Of December
the following named prominent citizens
made application, and were unanimously
elected life members, thereby giving the
company n moral support, such as no other
company has had in the recent past Col.

WomEs AS JuRoRs.-Judse Green pays
the women jurors of Washington Territory
this compliment: have now held twelve
terms in which women have served as
grand and petit jurors, and ii is certainly 4
fact beyond dispute that no other twelve |
terms so salutary for restraint Of crime have
ever been held in the Territory" 1t might
be healthful thing to put women upon
iuries in Sacramento. 1t is believed they
would not at least find . defendant not |
guilty when the violation of law charged
was openly confessed by the person on
trial The courteous demeanor Of women |
would keep them from thus telling the |
defendant that he lied when he was honest |
enough TO make a confession.
