AFFAIRS AT THE FORT.
A Name that had Been Pre-empted-Personal
and General Points.

a story is told of Colonel Penrose who IS
visiting General Penr0se, at Fort Douglas
A few DAYS after his arrival in the city he
called for his mail at the pOstoffice. The
official eying the colonel suspiciously asked
Are YOU General PenrOsen No" Are
Won Elder Perrosen' No" ''Theu,"
said the keeper of Uncle Sans mail bags,
Il don't believe you know who you are
and there is nothing for you The colonel
had found himself in strange country
where the honors OF his name had been
pre- empted.
Mrs. Blunt, the wife of the commander
at the fort, gave an entertainment at her
elegant quarters last Wednesday afternoon
in the shape of a luncheon to her lady
friends of the city and fort. The reporter
was not present, owing perhaps to an
oversight, but those of his lady friends
who participated were more than charmed
with the hospitality and taste of their
hostess. 1t is evident that the most popular
lady again showed herself to be the born
leader of an exclusive and refined circle
The war-lilze appearance and fierce fusil-
ade observed nowadays n the grounds just
outside the garrison at the fort, is not war,
hut a school of war. If energy and burnt
powder will make the boys dangerous foes,
these will certainly take the cake They
would certainly be death to any bulls eye
they might encounter. Lieutenant Buck
is the expert leader in these exercises.
Lieutenant Thurston, Sixteenth infantry,
the handsome athlete of his regiment, has
left Fort Douglas and is on duty at Og-
den, acting military storekceper, in the alb
sence of Captain Alligood, who goes on
two months leave of absence.

comedians, and his schooling has been in
one of the best of our American places of
stage learning-we refer to the old Union
Square theatre. He was the comedian
there in the palmy days of this house, and
it fell to his lot to create the part of George
Washington Phipps. when the Bankers
Daughter was first produced. The mt ne
made took him out as star, and he won
lots oflloney and fame in the "Suategists.
