ON THE PICKET LINE.
The District National Guard-Notes
From the Armory.

The second regiment has made a vocal repu-
tation for itself and Col Clay is just as proud
of that fact as though the entire command had
qualified as sharp shooters. The last Sunday
! in March the regiment went to St. Andrews
Church and listened to sermon prepared for
the especial benefit of national guardsmen.
The eioquence was appreciated, but the interest
of the service seems to center around the
hymns. Onward, Christian Soldiers" was one
of the selections and the two hundred and fifty
men in blue went at it with as much yigor as
though each hoped to gain salvation by lung
power. ''Neyer heard such singing in my life, -
said the delighted colonel, talking of the occa-
SION to a group OF friends at headquart ers the
other evening.
A big crowd of people that we're apparently
very much interested watched the third battalion
as it Unanswered for half an hour in front OF
the Arlington Hotel Among the spectators
were great many National Guard officers, and
they all had good word to say for Maj Har-
rlson and his men. Kit Carson Drum Corps
was out with the battalion. After drill the
Third went down TO Lincoln Post fair.
Each OF the cabinet officers and all the heads
OF bureaus Will Issue an order granting leave
with pay for Friday afternoon to those OF their
subordinates who are III the guard and will
participate in the review.
Woven cartridge belts will be worn at the re-
view. IAey VIII De issued TO company COM
manders on Tuesday at 4 pm
Battery has a first sergeant that knows his
business. Sergeant Mccormick was in the
regular service for long time Now the bat
terry pays him good salary and he lives at the
armory. He attends to matters that would
otherwise be neglected and sleeps when none
OF the ffty-two men in the battery can think OF
something for him to do.
Corporais F. II. Pillsbury and r. s. Coleman
OF troop will be sergeants SOON. They have
passed the required examination.
Eight priyates of troop are candidates for
four promotions to the rank of corporal Each
OF the candidates averaged over 60 per cent OH
the theoretical branch and it took "a hours to
examine each man. One candidate went no to
about 50 per cent Tonight Sergeant Major
Rennie will put them through the practical
work. The troop will be ont for full dress i'll
spection Wednesday evening.
Sergt. c. j. Harlow and Corp Neligan Of COM
pany A, fourth battalion, DONG, will leave
tonight for New York to take part in the COM
petitive drill which will decide who is the best

erary work 10 soon to be presented to the

the direction Of Mrs. Z. X. Bradford will be
staged at an observation-disclosures TO be given at
Lincoln Music Hall in the near future. The
total number of characters in these various
tabteaux is twenty-five, and these will be as
stunned by young people of social prominence

sweet charity's sake, the event being for the
benefit OF the National Homeopathic Hospital.
Selections from .Ben Hur" will be read by Miss
Esteiie d. Schivsly of Philadelphia.

TOMS RIVER, Jan. 20.-John G. Irons died
at his home in Silverton last night in his Gath
year. He died almost upon the spot where he
was born. He had never been on a railroad
car and had never written or received half q
dozen letters In his long life although at his
death he owned about 900 acres. He also had
O good many thousands OF dollars in money
Up to four years ago he was active and all his
faculties were clear and bright. He divided
his property equally among his three sons ten
years ago. making out deeds for 1t. But tho
deeds he carefully tucked away where he could
lay his hands upon them. saying to his heirs
that it would be time enough for them to take
possession when he should let go. For fifty
years he raised all his own meat and grain. and
he recalled with pleasure the fact that during
that time he mad never bought pound Of meat
or O barrel OF hour." not even 50 much as u
buckwheat cakel" He always lived well, and
his hospitality was known far and near. He
cut and sold hundreds Of tons of salt and fresh
hay every year. and until he was an old man he
was the best mower i'll his vicinity. His eldest
son. now 66 years old, says there wasn't man
