STAGE" owing TO her having been on the boards
almost from birth. She was born in Boston,
December 25, 1873, and is, consequently, not yet

familiar with her life, to be much older. Such

mother. can produce at any moment certif-

1876 grand baby show was held in Hofticul-
tursl hall, in Boston. aud C5rinne was one
OF the many infants placed on exhibition. She
created a marked sensation, caused not
only by her great personal beauty, but also by
her ability to sing and dance prettily-this at
the age OF 3 she received the prizs medals and
diploma. The great amount of attention she
attracted caused her mother TO accept an en-
gagement for her to appear in sunday evening
concerts in connection with Browns Brigade
band. she was billed as the infant wonder, and
created furore, and her great success in these
concerts determined her mother 10 keep her on
the stage. She next appeared in the Boston
Museum, as Little Buttercnp, in a big juvenile
production of ''Pinaiore" under tho manage
ment of Murphy and MeDonough. The pro-
cuction very successful, running for 100
nights, aud Corinne was the hit OF

Now Rule, and Re<uIati ons.


The rules and regulations Of the National
Guard of the state of Washington, adopted Feb
ruary 4 1891, by the state military board, have
arrived, and from Q hasty examination Of the
volume 1t appears to contain an able set OF
rules and the officers here express themselves
as well pleased with the regulations for their
future guidance.
The book, neatly bound and printed in bold,
clear type, presents a handsome appearance.
From typographical point of view the book is
very good one, and reflects much credit on the
state printers ONCE.
The new rules lay particular stress on the
duties OF the officers. An infantry regiment
must not consist OF more than ten regiments nor
q battalion OF less than two nor more than four
companies A cavalry regiment shall consist of
twelve troops. Kennon's "Army Manual of Guard
Duty" is adopted as the text book for the state.
The United States signal and telegraph code has
been adopted. In the matter of settling the
rank of officers the regular military procedure
Is adopted In the new rules. Examinations for
those who are elected to Office are made rigid
and the applicant Is required to be able to pass
satisfactory military examination, but he must
be well posted on arithmetic and the geography
of his state, and must be man physically able
to stand the service. In the matter OF discipline
the officers are required to rigidly inforce the
laws, but are forbidden the use CT tyrannical
measures Under section 535 q rule is laid down
f0rblodlng discussions among military men con-
veying censure toward others in the military
service. To strike a superior officer at
any time Is declared to be fit subject for cash
iering. system of fines have been established
whereby those who fail to perform their duties
must pay for the neglect in coin. A frequent
disregard OF duty is q reason for dishonorabe
discharge from the service. Much attention is
given to the subject of courts-martial. Cen.
eral courts-martial may consist of from Eve to
thirteen me hers but never less than the latter
number when they may be convened without
injury to the service An excellent set of COM
pany bylaws has bsen incorporated in the rules.
Each company will have a court Of discipline,
whose duty 1t will be to try all violations of the
regulations The new regulations seem to cover
the ground fully aud completely, and II the
National Guard OF the state OF Washington will
follow them in spirit well as letter, the organ
izstion will be one of the most efficient ilitary
bodiess in the Union.

this part of the state will probably be on Gray's
harbor, as the Aberdeen people have been work
ing hard to secure the honor up that way. 1t
shas been limited that it is just possible that there
will be no encampment at all this year, but this
opinion is not shared by many of the guards
men. The attorney general has decided that
after May no money can be used out of the
military fund of the state without special leg
islative appropriation. Captain Ingraham says
that he does not quite agree with this
theory. His idea is that the entire military fund
is a special fund, which can only be devoted for
the special purpose Of the National Guard, and
that the only event which would necessitate an
approprating act would be where it was desired
to use the military fund for some other purpose.
The captain states that the sum of $4,000 was
left over unexpended out OF last years fund,
and that the receipts this year would reach at
least $4,000. The expenses of the militia will
not be over $4,000, and with such a state OF
affairs 1t would be MIST dscouraging If the boys
were knocked out of the opportunity to go into
camp for the usual time. Colonel Green's ap-
pointments on his staff give general satisfaction.
The new rules and regulations are out.

office has done a fine piece of work. The men
who criticized the office for seeming delay were
wholly unwarranted in SO doing. They appar-
entity had no idea that the job was to be so ex-
tensive Some of the copies have been turned
over to the adjutant general, and few have ar
rived in Seattle. From brief examination all
the changes made seem wise and useful.
General Curry is reported to have said that the
new regulations are excellent, and that
they will be received with universal favor
by the militia of the state. The battalion
drill given on Tuesday night at the Armory
was tine exhibition of military skill. Captain
Ingraham had charge of the battalion until the
arrival OF the colonel of the regiment Both
officers handled the men with skill and pre-
cision. Captain Hilton reports satisfactory
progress in his company. Dcompany is iucreas-
ing in number as well as B, and if E company
gets much larger they will have to divide it up
and make out of it a regiment. The prize drill
matter will be settled on next Thurday night by
conference with the citizens committee.
