MAKING DRUM MAJORS.
4 School for Men Ambitious to March In
Front Of Bands

'FRONT.' OF B9n0A.
Philadelphia TimesI
In Reynolds hall, a school for drum ma jors
Is in active operation. A class Of eight tall,
fairly wel.-formed young men were being
put through the manual the other evening as
ths reporter entered. Bringing his staff to
a vertical position, the knob, or head, oppo-
site his left shoulder, the instructor, Maj
Robert Evans, executed q salute and stood
at attention"
Drum ma ors art not made" said the
amiable instructor: "men are born with a
natural talent in that direction Not all Of
those even who make the effort eventually
succeed as Arum ma ors The qualities nee
essary are many.
IF You have few minutes to spare stay
and see the class go through the various ex-
ercises"
At the command attention, given by the
now frigid instructor, the class brought
their STATS to the proper marching position,
viz: Staff in the right hand below the chin,
the back Of the hand to the front, the head
Of the staff near the hand, the ferrule point

ferrulss trifis higher" shouted Maj Evans
-Now follow the signals:
TO play. Face the band and extend the
right arm to its full length in the direction
Of the staff

tai young man with n caved-in chest
TO cease playing Extend the right arm
to its full length in the direction of the staff.
Good! Good,
TO march. Turn the wrist and bring the
staff TO the front, the ferrule pointing up
ward and to the front; extend the arm 70 it,
full length in the direction Of the staff.
No, no, no. didn't lay to twist your
arm, merely twist the wrist; there, that's
better
Now to halt Reverse the staff and hold
it horizontally above the head with both
hanis, ths arms extended; lower the staff to

hip.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE LEGIS-
lATURE.

In view of the fact that the editor
of this paper has been suddenly and
unexpectedly summoned TO the capi-
tai. the occasion is embraced to say
that while we have no doubt that the
present legislature is, as body, po-
liticallv the blindest, in expenditures
the most extravagant, in shaping pub
lie affairs the dumbest that ever as
sembled in the state, that yet individ-
ualy its members, SO far as our ac-
quaintancc goes, are the brightest ex-
ponents Of their several localities, be-
ing truly of the highest representative
character. Because of these we'll
known individual characteristics the
EAGLE confidently predicted, during
the late campaign, not on! triumph
ant solution Of impending party dis
aster bat such conservative and wise
course as would enable our beloved
and esteemed chief executive TO so
sharpl, define the lines between the
abuses of an outgoing administration
aud the wisdom of the present one,
that never again would free people
be forced to scratch among the debris
of cave of gloom for a ruler. Like
the frogs who got from Jupiter
just the king they prayed for, our own
CONSERVATION aud humiliation has
been so complete as to find inadequate
expression. Competent and bright
individually, a the members are. as a
whole they are proving burdensome
to the Taxpayer and disastrous TO the
party in a measure whose volume
they probably will only realize when
the ides of future November shall
have revealed the fact in startling fig
ures on the wrong side of the tally
sheets and poll books. The presence
of whisky formerly was found neces-
sary to a complete mixing of oil and
water, but its activity seems 10 the re-
verse when prohibition and resubmis-
sion are the elements to be assinilat-
ed, or the journals of the respective
houses are wholly unreliable as politi-
cal text books. In conclusion we can
not take the legislature by its political
paw. Such a proceeding would be
repugnant to all the political instinct
which have guided Us 50 successfully
in the past and served us so faith
fully as monitor in warning Us against
the BODY now cutting such a figure
before high heaven at Topeka. But,
personally it will give us the greatest
possible satisfaction 10 grasp the
hands of its individual members who
have found il impossible, under exist
ing exigencies. no doubt, TO be manly
as well as manly individu-
ally
