four remaining companies in
class. A drilled for the $4,000
prize i'll that class.
The pleasant weather brought
out another large crowd. The
Morton Cadets, the young com
pany from the national capital,
which created such a favorable
impression by its drill in class
B, was the first to appear.
That these boys are reasonably
sure of a first prize in one of
the three classes in which they
are entered is conceded on all
sides. They were followed by
the champions the defenders of
the Galveston cup.
The Fencibles got through
with six minutes to spare, but
when Capt. Domer handed in
his program it was found that
in turning the leaves he had
missed one sheet. The Fenci
bles went through the move
ments that had been omitted
in the few minutes Of their time
that remained, but their work
was not scored by the judges
and the effect Of Capt. Domer's
unfortunate oversight upon
their final average is an open
question, which cannot be set
tied until the announcement of
results is made Tuesday.
The next company to drill
were the Thurston Rifles. Theirs
to-day was the best done so far,
this being their third appear
ance on the drill grounds.
That the company, which mp
to a week ago was known as
the Sealy Rifles, is a strong 10
ell favorite was plainly shown
when they marched up in their
immaculate white duck suits
and helmets, led by Capt.
Worthy Boyd. There was a
great sigh from the ladies when
the boys flung themselves down
in the dust at the command of
their captain to go through with
that part of their manual work
and several helmets rolled out
into the field during the hard
hours drill, but the Sealys
caught the crowd. They got
through with their program
with several minutes to spare,
their work being excellent and
they are believed to have a good
chance for the honors.

accompanied by Coils. Sanger

party will remain four day

Scheme for Utilizing the Night
Time for Road Repairing.
New York Sun.

lux
New York Sun
The work of laying street car rails
and making repairs has heretofore
usually been done in the daytime. This
was mainly due to the difficulty of get
ting good light in which to work at
night. The usual light used was OBJ
tanned from a gasoline tank. This was
poor at the best, and a light breeze
made it unsteady. In consequence the
work went on slowly, and was, there
fore, costly.
Now most of the repairing on trolley
roads may be done at night, when fewer
cars are running, and at very little
extra outlay over day work.
The new scheme is to tap the trolley
wire for the supply of electricity to
incandescent lamps, which are found
to give a better light TO WORK by thar
the brilliant arc lights. The trolley
wire is tapped about every three feet,
where men are working. To the tap
ping wires are attached large white
porcelain globes or shades, containing
or covering three or four incandescent
lamps. These lamps hang at con-
venient height from the ground, allow
ing men to work under them without
interference. They throw a strong,
steady diffused light down upon the
track that is almost as good as day
light.
Such light was used in Broadway,
Williamsburg. recently. OF course, the
cars cannot use the trolley wire when
it is tapped. owing to the small wires
depending from it. On this account a
temporary track was laid, on which, by
a simple contrivance. the cars were
shunted, and men pushed them past
the spot where the repairs were being
made. At this spot cars of seven lines
were passing, but the scheme worked
successfully.

the profession is the notoriety it
brings upon me. If it weren't for
that and for having to discuss it
with people who can never under
stand it, I should not feel at all bad.

don't want to pose for her. You
never can make a woman under
stand the profession. They always
look upon models as something be-
meath contempt, and cannot believe
. that we are good, honest women, and
work hard for what we earn. Do
they suppose we stand on one foot
in badly heated studio all day
just to amuse ourselves?
Nobody knows what we have to
put up with. The minute people
find out what our profession is they
become suspicious. 1t is almost i'm
possible for woman model to live
in boarding house if her profession
is known. I lived in a place a long
time once, and nobody knew what I
did, until one day an artist came to
the house to engage me, and let the

suit was, the landlady wanted my

they are known throughout the
studios by half a dozen titles. Some
of the artists jokingly termed the
child the American Trilby." When
the name was first given her she
took it good-naturedly She is a

being nicknamed. But when she
told her mother that the artists
called her "Trilby," the mothers

Gold, has lately sent her resignation
to the newspapers, so that all the
public shall know that the stigma
Trilby has unwittingly brought
upon the profession does not attach
to her. Her decision means a seri-
Gus loss to a number of well-known
artists who have made her exquls-
itely nodded figure familiar to the
picture-loving public.
Many other models whose forms
have heretofore been prominent
features in the portrait exhibitions
declare that they, too, will re
nounce the business entirely. Be-
cause they have any personal OBJ
jections to posing nude? Not at
all. But because the public has ac-
quired the idea that one can't pose
for "the altogether" and remain
modest. The most of those inter
viewed have not read Du Mauriers
masterpiece, but they declare that,
whoever Trilby was, she has cast a
cloud on their profession, and they
have mighty poor opinion of her.

ming brooks, and good from everything.
When death claimed her, alas, too soon
for the lovers of literature. her ex-
pressed wish was that she should be
buried near the mountains she loved so
we'll. Of course her wish was carried
out. But when graSping greed success
fully tempted the owners OF the pass
way to her tomb to exact unseemly sums
from pilgrims, her remains were re-
moved to the commonplace cemetery OF
Colorado Springs. Some means should
have been devised to check the cruel
hands of the Philistine and allow her
to rest in her selected spot,
where the winds would chant their
solemn anthems over her poor chastened
body. 1t was wrong to make Mrs.
Jacks0n'S first grave source for money
making. Her fame belonged to her
country; the interest attaching to her
grave belonged to the public. But the
avaricious spirit of one or two owners
of the soil is no valid reason for the
vulgar vandalism which prompted the
removal of her remains from her chosen
resting place, and we should not be sur
prised to be told that imaginative peo-
pie think they hear her cold lips clam

and she allowed her whole being to be

influence Of her natural environments.
1t is for these reasons she has been able
to make such a matchless analysis of

able to give us the best embodiment of

been able to tell SO wildly of the indig-
nant tears which Scalded the cheeks of

of sacrilegious hands having been laid

that she has been able to sketch so
graphically the lofty contempt of the

the instincts OF trader or a pedlar; that
she has been able to note how the Next

her to make believe she was mes

William NJ. Chase had not read
'Trilby," but said that true artist
is as respectful to his model as he is
to any other woman who enters his
studio.
w. T. Smedley, the famous illus
traitor, said that the models that he
knew were refined women, and need
not be ashamed Of their profession.
Another artist who requested that
his name should not be published,
said: 81 think this talk about Trilby
is all nonsense. Why" he added,
laughing, "a woman like Trilby
would never have remained a model

would have married her. Three of

Two of the New York libraries
and several of the Boston and Phila-
delphia libraries have received re-
quests not to circulate "Trilby."
Mrs. Grannis said that the society Of
which she is president had no inten-
ton Of trying to suppress ''Trilby''
while so many more serious things
needed their attention.
