but even flood could not keep an army of
two hundred little soldier boys and their
barracks so sweetly clean if they were not
daily disposed to it, and drilled and
drilled and continually drilled to perfect
cleanliness.
After leaving the secretary, in charge of
the books, the only person encountered so
far, If we except the forty or fifty boys at
football away down on the campus, we as
cend the wide stairway to the schoolroom.
No guards, no watchman, nobody, till we
enter the schoolroom, fitted up like any
other first-class schoolroom. Here is the
teacher in his place with about fifty boys
in military uniforms before him. There is
one black boy and one brown boy; the
others are white. The larger half of all
the boys in this Preston School are from
San Francisco. Stick pin here; bear this
ugly fact in mind and use your influence
to keep young people out in the healthful
country. These fifty boys at their desks
before US will be at their books but a short
time. Then they go to their military drill
for two hours, giving place to another like
number, then on the industrial depart
ments for two hours, then the military
parade, then supper, then "taps," then
bed.
Near the schoolrooms are the dormito-
ries and the hospital. Cleanl Clean and

From the great tower and the roar of
water still away up there we looked down
at the spruce young soldiers, gentlemen on
their honor at drill also some at football,
further on; also some in a garden of their
own plowing and planting. When the
ground are in order each young soldier is
to have garden to himself and is to be
perfectly trained in the trade of 1.-The
grand old gardener and his wife"
From this stately central edifce we
passed back and down to the tailor shop,
where the boys are trained under a COM
petent teacher to make their own uni
forms. Then we went to the building, in
charge of the matron, where each boy,
like a German soldier, must in turn wash
his own clothes; then to the shoemaker's
shop, and SO on. Then we passed far on,
through woods and fields, where boys
were at work burning brush and paving
the walks to the dairy. Boys thick here,
too-boys all around, busy, happy, smiling,
quiet and respectful.

mansion. This residence was selected by
Mrs. Miles as it had been leased for three
years by friend who wished to give it up
before the expiration of her term, and as
Mrs. Miles was weary of house-hunting
she took the place at a years lease, hoping
that by next year she may be able to get a
home adjoining that of her uncle, Senator
Sherman, to whom she is most devoted.
The interior of the house has grown
under the nimble and tasteful fingers OF

HULL OF THE ELBE.
Its Weird Appearance in Oceans Dark
Depths.


The North German Lloyd Company has
sent a professional diver to try and locate
the wreck of the Elbe and to report about
the possibility Of getting at bodies which
may be still held in the wreck, and also to
attemptto extricate what valuables might
be got at. He reports the following:
eve set out on the wrecking steamer
Elise and lowered for almost two weeks
around the spot where the Elbe sank. She
lies listed to the port side at depth of
over forty fathoms GAO feet). Favorable
results could therefore hardly be expected.
In spite of this we tried our best to de-
scend to the vessel, but among six profes-
fessional divers, two Germans, two French
men and two Englishmen, not one could
dive deeper than 10 feet.

The magnificent exhibit Of colonial
relics Assem- bled In Rhode Island for dis
play at the Cotton States and Information
al Exposition, now In progress at Atlanta
Ga. was shipped last week.

the kind ever assem- bled, surprising even
the splendid exhibit OF things colonial
at the Worlds Fair at Chicago in 'S3.
The Chicago exhibit took an award and
equal success is expected for this splendid
display gotten up for the Atlanta Expo
sition.
Thanks to the generosity and patriot
ism OF the navy contributors, and the
ability and energy OF the commission of
ladies appointed by Governor Brown,
Rhode Island will be worthily represented
among her sister states in Atlanta. The
work has been done well within the
small appropriation, and the collection
may well be matter of pride TO every
Rhode Islander. The commission COM
prises Miss Mary A. Greene. chairman, Mrs

all Rhode Islanders, are due for the fine
showing their State will make at the big

cratic Convention centered about the hall
where the State committee was to meet
Senator Hill was ready quite early but
Chairman Hinckley and some OF the
others were tardy in coming to the con-
yention hall. and the result was that 10
O'Clock struck before the committee got
together. The session lasted just six min
utes by the watch, and the only business
Transacted was the adoption of resolu-
on that the committee recommended
the increase of the State committee TO 80
members. The usual convention resolu-
tons were adopted and the committee
adjourned.
The resolution provides as detailed by
The Associated Press last night that there
shall be one State committee man from
each senatorial district, 80 in all, instead
OF 81, as now.
Chairman Hinckley called the conven-
ton TO order at 1921 After prayer, Mr..
Hinckley directed the State committees
to announce that both sets of delegates
from Kings county should be placed on
the list.

started on the first leg before the wind.

ahead.
1t was expected that Spruce would
regain a great deal of her lost advantage
on this reaching leg, but up TO 1850 she
did not pick up at all. On the contrary,
Ethelwynn increased her lead during
the first mile OF the leg, going further on
the reach. Spruce dad better and when
the second mark was turned Ethelwynn
was only one minute and twnety seconds
ahead. The time taken on the club house

Assaulted an Officer,

Andrew J.. Smith of Edgewood has
no love for the detective force of this
city, for he was arrested by one OF them
a few days ago for having a bicycle in his
possession that they thought was not his.
AT 8 O'Clock last evening Smith was
walking along Weybosset street and
had nag over, his shoulder. He was
asked by Detective Reardon what he had
in the bag. Smith replied that 1t
was none of his business. Mr.. Reardon
thought that he would take Smith to the
Central Station and search him, but
Smith objected quite forcibly, so much
so. that had not Detective Merrill been
near by Mr.. Reardon would have Jared
badly unless there had been turn IN
the tide, for Smith was getting in some
telling blows on the officers face.
Mr.. Reardon is none the worse for the
little tilt, but says when he has occasion
TO arrest smith again he will know bet
ter how to go about IL.
At the station IL was found that the
bag contained few quarts OF peanuts.
n was the intention TO have Smith ar
rnigned I'm the sixth District Court this
morning, on the charg of assaulting an
officer. but as Smith has quite large
family, Reardon's better nature got the
better OF him, and he withdrew the
charges and simply had Smith arraigned
in the police court for being drunk.
