THE w. LII. G. ANNIVERSARY.
A Brilliant Banquet Given In Honor of
the Event.

Brilliant Banquet Given In Honor of
the Event.
Yesterday was the ffty-fifth anniversary OF
the Washington Light Infantry Corps. the
pride military company Of Washington. The
celebration was In form love feast, in which
the two hundred active members and a hun
dred veteran and contributing members par
ticipated. The committee in charge, COM
posed of Captain Frank Schwarz, chairman;
Lieutenant Charles II. Kettler, Co. C: Ser
geant Charles M. Shreve, Co. B. Sergeant
Arthur M. Muzzy, Co. A; Sergeant Jesse B.
h. Lee, Co. d, spared no pains or expense,
and to them great credit is due, as John
Chamberlin or Delmonico could not have
prepared more magnificent banquet.
Captain Burton Ross acted as toastmaster
and could Napoleon have risen from his tomb
he would have blushed to have seen that he
"was notin it' so far as soldierly bearing was
concerned
The prince Of good fellows, Colonel William
u. Moore, in his address of welcome
TO the ESQ guests present, caused all
to feel that they at least were one
of the original members and would re-
main such until Gabriel blowed Sights out"
Colonel Lem Towers responded to the toast,

OF the Rebellion After which Colonel
Moore happily presented service badges to
Captain G. G. Wheeler, Sergeants o. v.
Shomo, E. 2. Phumphrey, Frank Ourand,
and Private I'll. G. James. The toast, ssThe
Infantry of to-day" was responded to by
Hon. Simon Wolf in a most eloquent manner.
AT midnight the banquet was not half over.

Aquinas. Pope Gregory XVI in 1887 made
young Pecci his chaplain. He was elected
Bishop of Damietta in 1S43, and appointed
Nuncio to Belgium in the same year, where
he remained until 1916. Then he became
Archbishop and Bishop of Perugia. Plus TX.
raised him to the dignity of Cardinal, and
he was elected Pope February q, 1878.
Although strong advocate of the temporal
dominion Of the Popes, Leo KILL is opposed
to radical measures and extreme views.
He has literary tastes, and practically edited
agreat part of the records of the Papal Court.
Naturally there is always certain amount of
friction existing between the Quirinal, repre-
senting the temporal and secular power In
Italy, and the Vatican. This is why there are
such frequent reports of the Pope's being
about to leave Rome. OF late years Leo
XIII. has been in great request as an arbter
in international disputes. His decisions have
been invariably given with judgment and
fairness. The Pope has gentle and very
winning manner. He has been in ill-health
for long time, and in Rome and elsewhere
there is much speculation as,to his successor.

To straighten the Shoulders.

iittsDurB olspatcH
Round shoulders ars SO Objectionable from
every point of view that any practicable and
easy way of preventing them should be widely
made known. A contemporary states, how
ever, that those who have round shoulders
may make themselves shapely and healthy if
they will but bestow little trouble and per
severance on the process. This consists of
going through the simple and easily per
formed exercise OF raising ones self up on the
toes leisurely in perpendicular position sew
yeral times day. A perfectly upright posi-
tion must be taken, with the heels together,
and the toes at an angle of As degrees The
arms must be dropped lifelessly by the side,
perfectly relaxed, the chest drawn to its full
muscular capacity and the chin will be drawn
in The further instructions are to slowly
rise up on the balls of the feet to the greatest
possible height, thereby exercising all the
muscles of the legs and body; then to come
into standing position without swaying the
body backward out of the perfect line. Re-
peat this exercise persstently and good effects
will soon be noticed.

The marvellous skill and enterprise which
characterize the foreign news service of the
New York Herald, and which were so con-
spicuously shown in its publication of the
closing incidents of the Chiliau contest, have
received warm and deserved acknowledge
ment from almost the entire press OF the
country. The Herald has performed some
great journalistic feats before, but of the whole
series its last is probably the crowning one. 1t
is not enough to say that it distanced all
competitors. 1t is much nearer the truth to
admit that they were not in the race at all.
Not only its contemporaries in New York,
who have never shown any ability to compete
with the Herald in the foreign field, but even
such journals as the London Times and Tcle-
graph, whose foreign service is excellently
equipped, got completely left, For four days
London and New York depended exclusively
on the Herald for news. Our State Depart
ment especially was in condition of COM
plete observation, Minister Egan having
failed to report anything until everything was
all serene.

number Of postoflices, and the work of in
vestigating and reporting upon them would
necessarily involve much labor and time, and
reports too hastily prepared would have little
value. In some counties also there are many
postoflices that are of far greater Importance
than the office at the county seat, and in such
cases the anomaly would arise of man ac-
customed to the simple methods of country

business and methods of an office in a large

REoPENING OF THE RIGGS.
The New Management's Many Improve
ments and Changes.

ments and Changes.
When the Riggs House is reopened under
its new management on October l, it's many
friends and patrons In this city, and in fact
over the entire country, will hardly recognize
at least the first floor, 30 elaborate will the
changes and improvements be. For some
time force OF men and women have been
busily engaged about the hotel, scrubbing
and painting and decorating and renovating
from the cellar to the roof. Not spot in the
entire building which needed the least atten-
tion was neglected. New furniture, carpets,
and many. yof the latest modern conveniences
were put In so that the hotel, when thrown
open to the public, will not be sur.
passed in the smallest detail by
any in the city. The plumbing has been
thoroughly gone over and new traps have been
placed IN the stationary washstand with which
every room Is supplied, so that any danger
from sewer gas is entirely obliterated Aside
from the most thorough renovation which
upper stories have been subjected to, no
changes have been made there. On the first
floor an almost entirely different arrangement
of the rooms has been made.
The large room to the left OF the Office,
which was used as a cafe when the premises
changed hands, will be utilized as a sample
room. very elaborate and expensive bar
has been erected there and handsome buffet
Will be placed at one end of It. 1t is the in
tention of the management to make this
room one OF the finest of its kind in the CITY,
On the opposite side of the main lobby the
reading room win be located as before. 1t
will be newly furnished, however, and one
corner Of 1t will be occupied by telegraph
office. The wall between this room and that
which was formerly used as the sample room
has been torn down to make passageway.
The old sample-room will be turned into a
handsome billiard-room which will be fur
nished In the very best style. The marble
floor will be carpeted and space made for
four, or perhaps six tables. The Office itself
will be enlarged and made more roomy and
comfortable by tearing down two columns.
The lobby will be newly decorated In light
and pleasing colors, thus giving to 1t home
like and hospitable appearance. Neither
labor nor expense has been spared to put the
hotel in the very best of condition and when
everything is completed It will be as well
equipped as though 1t had just been built and
furnished. The attention paid to the COM
forts and wants of the guests which formerly
made this hotel such a popular one will not
be lacking under the new regime
The proprietors OF the hotel will be Mr. o.
G. Staples, the distinguished host of Wizards,
and Mr.. G. Dewitt. Mr.. Staples is too we'll
known to be eulogized, but the simple an
nouncement that he is interested in the well
fare of the establishment is sufficient guaran-
tee that 1t will be A /. The direct care of the
hotel will fall to Mr.. Dewitt, who is an en-
eerprising, business-like young man who
will soon make himself popular with every
one. Success to them.

THE application to Congress by Chicago for
$4,000, 600 loan in aid of the Worlds Fair
will come with very bad grace from city
that was selected as its site wholly on account
OF the pretentious representations of her citi-
zens, and their repeated assurances that, If Chi
cago got the Fair, it would not ask for
single dollar of public money Why should
Chicago come to Congress for loan which
Congress has no constitutional power to
grant And, if she really intends to pay, as
the word loan would imply, why does she
not use her credit in the market and borrow of
the money-lenders

LABOR DAY was very successfully ebsery ed
in this city last week. The weather was all
that could have been desired, and there were
parades, festivities, and speeches. The
spectacle of Sc many unions OF workmen, re-
presenting the various trades could not fail to
be impressive But the existence of these Or
ganizations serves to show how greatly the
industrial condition of the country has
changed in the last forty years. Going back
that period one recalls individual workmen
who piled their trades with skill and cheerful
contentment, hopeful of one day having a
business of their own. Now, Workmen are
banded togetherindeed but most of them al
ways remain In the ranks.

THE surrender of the Itata to the Chilians
has been rendered necessary by the logic of
events. 1t may not be quite an admission that
her seizure in the first place was illegal, but it
shows all the same that that act was not part
of a very wise policy. The fact is the course of
this Government toward the whole Chilian
movement evinced little or no political
sagacity, and it is fortunate that amicable re-
lations with the new government have been
so easily and promptly established.

service, and adorned every position. He was
