McCALLA AND THE MIDSHIPMAN,
How the Latter Got Square BY
Strictly ObeyinS Orders.

"When I sailed with Lieut. Com. McCalls
several years ago." said a young naval officer
to STAR reporter, "he had already made a
| reputation as rigid disciplinariau. One day
it CHANGED that a mdshipman whom he had
sent ashore went trifle beyond the instruc-

The matter was not Of the least Importance
but McCalIa chided him sharply. saying:

fully, but he thought the rebuke uncalled for

for me-
"'Ay, ay, SIR

1.-THE midshipman took the boat and went
ashore. When he returned McCalla asked:
"'Well, sir, was there package for me at

you at the post Office, and could not venture
to do particle more or less than my instruc-

"McCalla looked just then as if he would
have hked to eat up that midshipman, but it
was impossible for him to say anything. The

"They numbered say $500 men, and can
truthfully state that during much Of their three
months service they performed duty which in
ordinary war service would reasonably REQUIRE
twice their number. They guarded the public
buildings aud property They at the same time
guarded the bridges and roads giving entrance
to the city, holding line of about l8 miles in
length when Washington was cut off from
communication with the rest of the country
They seized and guarded the supply OF flour
which made bread for the people of the Dis
trict. for themselves and for the earliest ar
rivals OF outside troops. They seized and held
the steamers which, had they left for Acduia
creek and Baltimore, would have been seized
at Alexandria. They occupied the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad between Washington and
Annapolis Junction and thus opened the way
for the arrival OF friendly troops. They ad-
vanced the advance guard in the first move
ment into Virginia when Alexandria was cap
tured. They captured the first uniformed pris-
oners taken from the enemy and when the capital
Of the country had been rendered fully secure
by the arrival OF masses of troops from New
York. Pennsylvania. Massachusetts New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Island
they followed me up the line of the Potomac to
Harper's Ferry to keep watch and ward over
the capital at good distance from it, Later
they followed me to the strengthening of Gen.
Patterson's force. and although the term of
service for which some OF them had engaged
expired while they Were in the field and in face
OF the enemy they remained without any aues-
ton as to the time, although l did not insult
them by so much asking them il they were
willing to stay.

but none more willing and anxious to do their
whole duty as soldiers than we're the majority

FUN IN ANACONDA PARK
Glorious Weather and q Good Time at
the Seasons First Picnic.
Crowds Who Had q Delightful Day
There-Cibson OF the "Stand-
ard" a Winner In Both
Running Races.

Yesterday was an elegant day for n pic
mic. or for any kind of outdoor sport. As
q result the first picnic given by the
Smelter City Fife and Drum corps at the
Anaconda Park was a grand success
financially and In every h way. The
pleasure seekers of the city both ladies
and gentlemen and a host of the little
folks began to stroll towards the grounds
early In the afternoon and at 2 O'Clock
quite a crowd Of people were already
there with more continually coming.
The grounds were in a fair condition
and the pavilion was deliberately deco
rated with bunting and the national
colors, both inside and out. The celc-
brated Pabst beer and other refreshing
drinks were dispensed mt n handy spot by
the only Ike Quinn. who reports an cx-
cellcnt trade. The dancing began Mt an
early hour in the afternoon and was freely
INDUCED until about 3 o'clock, music he
ing furnished by the Brennan a Getting
orchestra, when IL was discontinued until
< O'Clock in the evening.
Ats o'clock the athletic games were an
nounced, and everybody strolled TO the
upper part of the grounds. Owing Ia the
fact that the entries were very slow and
unsatisfactory, all games were declared
of except the 300 and 100 yard running
races. The l0O-yard race was started first,
iorc VI VII e's-y
Brady, Mctiovcrn and Richards. Mr..
Brady OF Butte appeared in a socialist"
costume of tights, and by his highly pro-
fcssionat appearance, caused the other
sprinters to tremble somewhat. The race
and n handsome silver, gold-lined cup
were won by j. ID. Gibson, Mr.. Richards
being second. The race was apparently
a soft snap for Gibson, who won IL easily
by three yards.
The 200 yard a was hen ran, the en-
tries being Richards, Mahan, Collins, Nc
Govern and Gibson. This race n an
other beautiful cup were also o by
Gibson with apparent ease. Mr.. Gibson,
the winner of the two races, is u fieet-
footed young man who handles the Assoc
ciated Press brass key in the STANDARD
office. His trophies, which are well worth
winning, were the admiration last night
Of everybody connected with the STAND
ARD Office. The Judges were Messrs.
Foskct, Harrington and Sullivan. George
Ellston was the starter.
After these races the crowd returned to
the city for the dinner hour. In the v
ing hundreds of people returned to the
park and the delightful dance was thor
0mghly enjoyed up 10 a late hour by all.
There was general satisfaction with the
programme and everybody appeared
happy.
