TACOMA MILITARY DAsHEs.
Petition for General O'BrIen's Removal
Sent to the Gaxernnr-nrilI Gnssin.

Sent to the Governor-DrilI Gossip.
TACOMA, Oct. 24-tspecial. THE petition of
the officers of the First regiment, from Colonel
Haines down, requesting the removal of Adju-
tant-General O'Brien, was forwarded today from
this city 10 Governor Ferry Local line officers
feel that the governor will.give the petition the
attention which the combined request of the OH
GERS OF the entire regiment deserves.
Captain Fife says drills are being kept up In
perfunctory sort of way to keep the boys inter-
ested ana in the habit of meeting at headQuar-
tiers.
A very interesting meeting OF G company was
held last Friday evening, in which Captain
shank, Major Cans and Lieutenant Stafford
offered their views regarding the welfare of the
company. Captain shank has worked hard to
build up a fine company and has partly sue
ceeded, and intends from this on to recruit
none but firs'-class men. Officers and privates
agree to help him. The drill which took place i'm
mediately following the meeting was fairly well
attended. With the individual enthusiasm of
each ana every member, not leaving it all TO
few, the company can regain its prestige as the
banner company OF the state.
Company has recruited some excellent men
lately and Captain Fife intends giving regular
drills this winter.
Lieutenant Howell still wears the beard grown
by him at the mines.
Lieutenant Stafford is busily engaged with his
ST. INkCs CaLtts anu Will nave Neli-UEli4e1
company before long
Il was thought by the officers that the non
attendance at drills was premeditated. The
true reason for lack of interes' was simply that
q number OF the members had lost their situa-
lions as penalty for serving the state at the
King county mines. Under existing condition
they have no use for the state or the National
Guard. Some % them ask: "Is the state going
20 procure H man q situation?" sis the state co.
ing 70 keep men providing they lose their posi-
tions9' No. and they are mistaken who think
that way. Let the officers look ont for tho men
who are worthy and they can soon have a good
company.

DR.. Minot savaRe's Brother.

When Rev. Minot J. Savage was in Washing
ton he passed through Centralia On his way to
Portland. Standing on the depot platform at
Centralia was an elderly gentleman, perhaps 60
years of age. When the great Boston preacher
passed by the elderly gentleman, the latter
asked him if his name was Savage. The
preacher said "Yes, and you are my brother
Charles" "That's what am" said the latter,
and the two embraced. The brothers were
separated when Minot J. was three years old,
and they had never met until that day, nor did
any OF the Savage family ever hear from Charles,
who drifted to the Pacific coast many years ago.
He is now clsrking in store at Tenino, Thurs

November S. National guardsmen who are well
informed say the charges are peculiar. The old
question Is involved in this case that has been
decided frequently both in military courts and
In the civil tribunals as well, namely, that a
mihtiamen is not always ON duty. If an officer
or common soldier strike a superior or use
abusive language to him while in uniform and
on duty, there is no question as to the liability
Oh the offender to punishment But where the
quarrel is OF a personal nature and blow is
struck, II simply is case for the nearest justice
OF peace, and il is rank farce that the state
should be put to the expense of a courtmartial,
especially at a time when the money is needed
Ior new uniforms and other paraphernalia to re-
place the rags the guardsmen now wear. The
question of the jurisdiction of the court will
PROBABLY have some place in the trial, and it is
highly probable that it may be found that this
special court-nartial has no power to hear the
case. 1t is the opinion of many of
the soldiers. however. that Colonel Haines
ought to permit the case to be heard on its
merits, if for no other reason than to settle the
question in this state and establish an authori-
tatlVe precedent. The Jones court-martial was
heard on Friday afternoon, ana he was dis
charged, the court having come to the conclu-
sion that 1t had no power to try him. This ter
mlnatlon OF the case did not please the alleged
offender, for he was anxious to have the matter
heard on its merits; and it did not please the
complaining members of his company at Port
townsend, who, 1t is reported, say they will
withdraw from the organization il Captain Jones
is not removed. There is certainly something
wrong about these compliments, for, although
TWO sessions OF the court-martial were held not
prosecuting witness appeared to present his
charge In person. Captain Jones is said TO be
me officer, and the best thing the boys do is
to quit this quarreling and settle down to work.
The Washington National Guard is going now
through the same trouble that was encountered
in both California and Oregon, but the citizen
soidlery in those states is now in a happy and
prosperous condition. History will repeat itself
in this state, and out of these troubles will
spring good soldiers and fine organization.

studious habits. The stage has need OF keene.
The dramatic representative OF the Posr-lsTELr
LTGENcER In pleasant chat with the tragedian
in the greenroom, asked him IL he had anything
new in preparation. "Why should study new
things" said he, 'when the people come TO hear
me In these grand old plays" He chatted
pleasantly about stage craft, aud informed the
reporter that in the East the people seemed to
have lost the taste for Shakespeare, while in the
West the master playwrights works were in con-
slant demand. He said he preferred to play
Shakespeare, and without conceit felt that he
did better work in the East than in the West,
because his audiences were with him more.
The public that listens to finished perform
ance of great tragedy has no idea OF the men
tai strain upon a man who plays, in four sue
cessive nights, the characters assumed by keene
in this city. To play "Louis XII, "Richelieu,"
"Othello" and Richard ILL.," acceptably man
must feel the part which he enacts, and in so
doing tries his mental and physical powers to
the utmost The company was a good one in
many respects, and the performances gave great
pleasure For the coming week Mr.. Hanna has
several very fine attractions, such as "Incog.,"
"a Turkish Bath" and the great Goodyear,
Elich & schilling Ministries. 1t is well that a
week of tragedy should be followed by period
of comedy. At Cordrays "Nip and Tuck"
with Sam Morris and John Williams stars,
was played. The drama gave pleasure to many.
This week there will be a change of faces at
CoTdray's and an entirely new play.
