GLEN ELLEN, CAL, Aug. 26.-The
presence of the Rev. Peter G. Yorke in
camp has given the cadets new life and
new interest. He has the happy faculty
OF unbending when among them and they
play and joke with the distinguished
young priest as If he was a popular pri-
vate in Company II. Many visitors from
the surrounding country dropped into
camp to-day to pay their respects to
Father Yorke and to see the boys and in
more than one case baskets OF luscious
fruits and messes of trout from the creek
have been presented at headquarters. The
Rev. James Mcdonald, chaplain of the
camp, is an enthusiastic sportsman.
Nothing pleases him better than trudge
over the mountains in quest of game.
Every trip results in full bag of rabbits
and doves, which are enjoyed at the Off
GERS mess.
Captain D. j. Mccarthy, Lieutenant Ed
ward Crowley, Sergeant Quinnine and
Private J. O'Leary of Company e and Ser
geant Benjamin Coryl OF Company B
drove to Santa Rosa yesterday. The OBJ
ject of the trip to the capital OF Sonoma
County was to extend an invitation to the
peo pie of Santa Rosa and around there to
visit Camp Organ.
The camp has divided itself into little
clubs or parties, which overshadow the IN
tegrity OF the individual companies.

trouble by their wild antics at most un-
seasonable hours of the night. and if any
thing be stolen in camp, a guard is
promptly detailed to inspect the piratical
tent. So far nothing has been found with
the pirates that would indicate their guilt,
but when cadet sees his saber and belt
or his shirt or tunic swinging from the top
of q tall tree next morning, there are
grave suspicious thrown in the direction
of the five pirates tent.
A number of the cadets stole out of
camp last night, and failing to run the
guard on their return, slept in boxcar at
the Donahue depot until the conductor
rudely disturbed their slumbers at 80
A. NJ. Stiff and cold they made for camp,
only to be put in prison. AS the boys say,
''they are on the police force now."
An announcement was made this morn.
ing that Father Yorke had given $5,
Father Mcdonald S. and DR.. A. p. Multi
gan S. for the three best decorated and
neatest tents in camp. This set the ca
diets at work cleaning up, setting their
tents in ''apple- pie order" as they called
it, and Transforming the exteriors into
evergreen bowers.
Company II and Company G had large
quantity of bunting which was cleverly
worked in with the green. Strips of tri-
color and star-bespangled muslin were
drawn from tent to tent and lanterns hung
between, with the outside covered with
festoons and garlands. In many places
the American flag was iudiciously woven
in with really good effect. Companies 3,
G and E showed good taste in their ar
rangement of festoons and ropes of leaves,
go although they lacked decorative bunt-
ing, their side of the camp appeared to
good advantage with the varied autumn
nal colors of the forest and strings of
Japanese lanterns.
