E. w. Harris, of the Harris, mine
near Washoe City, is here on his way
home from San Francisco. He says
a person cannot turn around at the
Midwinter Fair without being beset
by confidence men who have some
scheme to rob him. The city is en-
veloped in fog, the fair ground are
covered with mud and gum boots are

Colds, coughs, bronchitis, and all
throat and lung diseases are effectively
treated with Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
To neglect the use of proper remedies
for these ailments, is to induce con-
sumption, witch is said to cause one
sixth of the mortality in all civilized
countries.

A'Beckett's Wit.

Gilbert A'Beckett celebrated his
elevation to the Office OF magistrate
at the Greenwich police court by a
characteristic pun. A gentleman
came before him to prefer Il charge
Of robbery with Violence, committed
in the middle of the night. In stat
ing his cast he mentioned that the as
sault occurred while he was return
ing home from an evening party.
The worthy, magistrate interrupted
him by observing: Really. sir, | can
not make up my mind to accept any
thing like an ex parte statement"

for generation pinned to the seams OF

ural swing. More careful study OF
military ethics has demonstrated the
useIessless as we'll rs the barbarity Of
laying every man n a PrOcrustean bed
and requiring the same exactitude
from the loose jointed and comractly
built. At the same time a long and
careful training is necessary to tha
making of a good soldiery. Once a
Frenchman is uniformed and a musket
is put into his hands, he is ready to
CRY "Nive Ia France" ready to march
beneath the ~tri-color fag wherever he

to think that a soldier can be made
simply by dressing a man in uniform
and putting a musket IN his hands.
The shOulder-to-shoulder courage
that comes of discipline is indispensa.
BILE, but it must yield precedence to
that courage which comes OF intellt
gence, seli-reliance, and of perfect
knowledge OF the use of weapons, and
what the individual must do to protect
himself while inAicting the greatest
possible damage upon the enemy. In
this intelligence the national guard ID
we'll equipped, all being men Of intelN
gence and fair education. General
Sheridan's opinion of the militia waS
that in time OF war 1t would prove
itself the equal Of any trained soldiers.
The national guard has done much
for itself, and is deserving Of the high
est praise. Devoting time. money and
talents to the service OF the State
without pay, struggling along without
proper armories, drilling without
proper arms, equipment or clothing,
and above all without the moral sup
port and courteous attention OF the
people at large, it has reached a high
point Of excellence. In no ca.e has the
militia been cowardly or inefficient. 1t
takes much o courage for men to
walk along the streets, silently and
steadily, subjected to jeers and scott
ing and sometimes even showers Of
missiles, when they have their uni
forms on and guns in their hands, than
it does to load and fire.
The ideas INDUCED in by many in the

The requirements for enlistment in
the organized militia may be stated as
only those male citizens between the
ages of Is and As, except certain ones
exempted by law. The exemptions
may be briefly stated as those serving
in the army and navy of the United
States, those physically disqualified
and those belonging to religious de-
nominations having an article of faith
prohibiting the performance OF mill
tary duty. Persons are in some States
exempted by service in the late war or
for a certain length Of service in the
national guard.
The Governor of each State is the
commander-in-chief of the national
guard of that State. and the recruit
takes an oath to bear true faith and
allegiance to the United States as we'll
as to the State. In case the organized
militia are insufficient the Governor can
call for recruits to fiji the companies to

They Don't Like the Action of the
owners in the Sugar Rarge Robbery.

The examination in the case of the
Shorthand Literage Company against
Captain William %Shepperd, and Watch
men John Marshall and Louis Drog,
charged with being implicated in the
robbery of a quantity of sugar from
the lighters February and November, on
last Sunday night was to have been held
yesterday in Recorder McDonough's
court, but was again postponed until this
afternoon.
Counsellor J. Ewald Mcneil, who APP
peared for the company, asked for the
adjournment upon the grounds that the
lighters were then being ~unloaded, and
the company would not be able to tell
how much, if any, sugar had been sto-
len until today. Counsellor Allen, who
appeared for the men, objected, as the
examination had already been adjourned
to secure bail. and he demanded tina
the examination go on at once, unless
Counsellor Mcneil would have the case
dropped if the evidence was not forth
coming today. This Mr.. Mcneil said
he could not do. as the case was in the
hands of the State.
Recorder McDonough said he would not
adjourn it again, and the examination
win be held this afternoon.

Jones, who arrested the men, are dis
gusted with the lighterage people for
the manner in which they are acting.

CHRISTIAN ATHLETES.
Young Men of the Greenvflie Re-
formed Church Orga uiZed.

The young men of the Greenville Re-
formed Church held a special meeting on
Monday evening in the chapel for the
purpose of preparing plans for the or
ganization of an athletic club but the
young men were so enthusiastic over
the scheme that they resolved to act at
once and elect officers. A constitution
and bylaws were adopted and the fol-
lowing officers were elected:-President,
Fred Jaehne; Vice President, Alexan-
der Reid; Secretary, George Reid;
Treasurer, George Lamberson. 1t was
decided that the Board of Managers
should consist of the officers of the
club and two members of the consis-
tory of the hurch Elder Stephen L.
Harvey and Deacon H. Nelson Walker
We're elected to the Board.
At the meeting thirteen members signed
the roll and seven others sent word that
desired to become members, making the
total membership twenty. 1t was de-
cided that the dues shall be fifty cents
a month and the initiation fee 81. The
initiation fee, however, will only be
charged when the club membership has
increased to twenty-five. Meetings are to
be held or the second Tuesday of each
month and an effort will be made to
secure permanent club rooms which will
be fitted with as many athletic appli-
ances as possible. The club having
the support of the consistory and congre-
CATION, hopes to open permanent quar-
tiers shortly; in fact so certain are the
member that this end will be reached,
that they are already ~endeavoring to
purchase athletic apparatus to fit up
the gymnasium of the prospective per-
manent club rooms. In the selection of
Mr.. Fred Jaehne as President, the club
has the right man in the right place.
Mr.. Jaehne is a hustler, and has had an
experience in athletics which will enable
him to keep the club in a flourishing
condition: n an interview with a res
porter of The Jersey City News re-
Gently, Mr., Jaehne said:-"While our club
is to be known as the Greenville Reformed
Church Athletic Association, our mem
bership will not be limited to members
of our church. Any young man of good
moral character can join and d number
from other churches awe already sent
cure permanent quarters very shortly,
Inc these will be open every evening to
visitors. OF course the members only
will be allowed to use the athletic appar-
atus. The club rooms will be fitted up so
that the members may have every OPP
their advantage. Games. books, papers
and other literature will be provided in
addition to the athletic apparatus"
The young men who already signed
the roll are:-Fred Jaehne, Alexander
Reid, George Reid, George Lamberson.
