WITH The POMP OF WAR
Convention Hail Converted Into a
Great Military Camp.
Third Battalion Turns Out for Inspection,
Parade, and Drill, Its First in
tho New Quarters.

Convention Hall presented all the ''pomp
night, barring the presence OF the ladies,
and reminded the old soldiers of the scenes
of other days, when they were the actors
in the theater OF war.
Major Z. T. Lewis, commander, had the
Third Battalion out for drill, and in addi
tion TO the four companies, which the
battalion includes, the Mount Pleasant
Drum and Bugle Corps, eighty five strong,
was in line. This organization supplied
the music, as old regulars might be expected
to do, and at the same time had to respond
to the duty required of a real military band
to the extent OF undergoing inspection and
participating in the drill.
The dress parade and inspection preceded
the drill, lasting not more than thirty
minutes, and concluding with the pro-
mitigation, by Adjt. Donnelly, OF general
orders, No. 3, which announced that
First Lieut.. Joseph c. Hardie. having BEEN
commissioned as quartemaster of the bat
taIIion, should be recognized accordingly;
that Sergt. William H. Gibson was de-
tailed for duty as color sergeant; and that
Priyates James A. Norris, George b. Squires
and John S. Whit, OF Company b, and
George 5. Howell, Of Company G., having
been examined and found competent, We're
promoted to be corporals, and should be
respected as such.
A strictly critical spectator would have
noted exceptions TO some of the maneu-
vers, to the handling of the arms by some
OF those in line: 10 the absence of the Tegu-
latiOn white gloves, in other cases, and to
a pair of black trousers, instead OF the
blue, worn by a member, but Maj. Will
son was willing TO overlook the short
comings, since it was the first drill in the
new hall, and there was nothing specially
at stake. The defects VIII dou btless
disappear when discipline is more Egidly
enforced.
Company A, commanded by Capt Schil-
ling; Company B, in charge of Capt Mat
tingly; Company C, with Capt Sayer at its
head, and Company D. under Capt Young,
constitute the battalion. and all were in
line.
The drill was witnessed by quite crowd
Of ladies and gentlemen. who lined the
walls and occupied the platform at the
south end OF the hail. Cot Moore, Capt.
Peixotto, Capt. Goddard, Major B. r.
Ross, of the First Battalion; Major O'Brien,
Of the Second Battalion. and Capt. Edgar
were among the military spectators.

GROWTH OF ARTS.

Frank Hamilton CGshing's Lecture on
Anthropology the Last of the Series.
The last Of the series of lectures on
anthropoIogy was delivered yesterday
afternoon at the National Museum by
Mr.. Frank Hamilton Cushing, who dis
cussed 1.-THE Growth of Arts
The oldest art of man, said Mr. Cushing,
is man himself, and in support of this
statement he read the opinions of many
eminent authors on natural science, show
ing in what man differs from other ami
mails. and how he was evolved from the
lower order of animals. All naturalists
agree that man was developed through the
hand-which is in its nature cliDglng or
grasping in tendency
Man in his primitive state led an arbo-
rial life, and dwelt chiefly in trees, on the
fruit of which he subsisted. The weaker
We're finally driven by the stronger from
the trees to the earth. But they had al
ready learned the use Of their hands, and
OF the earth began their own DEVELOPMENT
1t is also well established that when
driven from the forest man sought the
shores. Here again the strong made the
weak keep moving on and on, thus popu-
! lating the earth That the Americas were
peep!ed through the ice regions is borne
| out by the early customs and institutions
Of the inha abltants.
The development in the use of the hands
naturally led to the development Of the
mind, so that it is easily seen where the
greatest dexterity and efficient use of the
! hands is found, there also will be found
| the greatest development of mind
Neither can 1T be doubted that the hand
was q powerful factor in developing the
faculty of reasoning. This is shown by
! the sameness of use for different purposes
! OF the right and left hand by all people.
| The influence OF the hands as a means
| of developing the voice is shown by the
| fact that at all times aud among all
classes the hand was used as a means
| OF describing objects, and Of conveying
| ideas.

an Indian Claim Allowance.
Charles a. Maxwell and George s Chase
constituting the firm of Maxwell & Chase,
attorneys, yesterday sued Joel NJ, Bryan,
of Choteau, |. T.. and Others to secure fee
of 81 800. Their bill asserts that they made
an agreement with Bryant in 1892, by which
they were to have one-half of 5 per cent of
any amount they might secure from the gov
ernment upon claim of the Eastern or
North Carolina band of Cherokees. On
March 2, 1895, an allowance was made,
and Of this $4,000 was to go to Bryan.
But the complainants had learned re-
Gently that Bryan had, by powerof attorney,

this was done to prevent payment of the
amount due themselves.
Baugh refuses to pay them half of the
amount allowed, aud they think IL the money

they viii never get their fee. They, there
fore. ask for a receiver, an accounting, and
an injunction Of the payment OF The fee to

Three Prisoners Broke Away from Police.
men but Were Reca pturei.
Samuel I. Johnson, a co1ored prisoner in
charge of Detective Proctor, made a bold
break for liberty from police headquarters
yesterday afternoon. Johnson had been
arrested on suspicion of stealing a bundle
OF bed springs, which he was trying to dis
pose of at a rldiculously low price. He
accompanied Detective Proctor peacefully
enough until the entrance to detective head
quarters had been reached, when he suddenly
wrenehed away from the officer and darted
away like a flash toward the city hall.
Some bystanders set up the cry of Catch
thiefl' and Detective Sergt. Robert john
son joined Mr.. Proctor and number OF
citizens in the chase,
The supposed thief ran into Judiciary
Square, and was going toward the Pension
Office building like quarter horse, when
he was headed off by portly stranger with
heavy cane. The temporary halt gave his
pursucrs an opportunity, and they made
flying squirt and soon had the colored man.
Detective Proctor put his chain nippers on
Johnson's wrist, and he was sent to No. l
police station, where he is held on suspicion
of larceny.
There was another lively chase for
prisoners on Pennsylvania avenue from
Seventh to Ninth streets northwest yes
| terday afternoon, which caused the col
| lection of large crowd OF people and
/ cons iderabls excitement. MessTs. Saks &
| Co., the clothiers, had complained to Po-
/ licemen Schuyler and Ricketts, that Peter
| Chakross and James Brown, Greek fruit
| peddlers were blockading the street in
| front of the clothing house, with their
push carts. The policemen started toward
| the paddlers. who had been frequently
warned, intending to place them under ar
rest when the men deserted their carts
and dashed up Market Space at lively
pace.
! The officers purshed them to Ninth street,
| where they were captured and taken to
4 the Twelfth-streettpolice station. When
| searched at the station. a beltabout Chakros'
| waist, containing over 81 600, was found.
They were charged with ohstucting the
| street and left So collateral each for their
appearance tonorfew in the police court.

Forge and Furnace of the Future.

The opinion is expressed by writer
IN The Mechanical News that the forge
and furnace of the future will consist of
Lead lined glass or porcelain vase, or
cupola, filed with cold aciditied water.
to which is connected Il strong positive
conductor, the forge and outfit being
rendered complete by a pair of tonos
with insulated handles attached to a
flexible negative conductor. According
to this plan, the smith seizes the piece
OF iron which is to be manipulated with
the insulated tongs and plungcs it into
the sour water, which begins to boil
and bubble the instant it comes in con-
tact with the iron, the latter, in q re-
markably short space of time, turning
to red and then to white heat, ready
for the work of the smith. So RAPIDLY
indeed is the heating done by this means
that the water and the portion of the
iron not immersed in the water are but
slightly warmed. The principle involv-
cd IN this process is Of @ simple and well
known Observation-Disclosures produc-
ing the light and heat-it being found
that enormous heat can be produced by
such method, much greater, in fact,
than is necessary to extract iron from
the most refractory ores. 1t is remarked
that the value of such process will be
especially exhibited in the more COM
plete and rapid handling of heavy iron
and steel plates and bars requiring to
be hammered and welded-more valua-
BILE still for tempering purposes, rs the
necessary heat for the immersed portion
can be so quickly obtained, whilo tho
remaining portion holds comparatively
cool
