Soldier and Athlete.

May /. 1897, will be ready tho new
manual Of physical training for the
United States army. 1t will BIO q revo-
luton in some respects of former meth
DDS of military drill. Instead Of training
a recruit to stand like a ramrod, stiffen
back his shoulders and in consequence
puff out his breast and abdomen, the
new manual of physical culture for sol
diers will release and educate every
muscle in his body. 1t will make him
1.-the, timber, graceful and powerful,
like the acrobat and the all round ath-
letc. 1t will be a system of ~calisthenics
which will lie u joy and source of health
to the soldier rather than an eternal
and heavy, monotonous military drill.
Hermann, the magician. had the mus
cles of the inside of his hand so devel-
oped that he could hold a silver dollar
in the middle Of his palm in such a way
that it would be hidden entirely from
sight. All the muscles Of. the inside OF
his hands could he used by him as freely
and effectively as most persons use their
fingers. We mention this to show to
what perfection muscles can be brought.
The officers who prepared tho new
drillbook will place it before the army
boys as a guido TO muscle education and
development. This new idea Of the sol
dier's physical training was introduced
first at the recruiting barracks in Co
lumbus, o., in 1898. The general ath-
letic or calisthenio exercises are. now q
part of the daily drill in the various re-
cruiting stations and military posts OF
the country. Thecffect Of the new train
ing was shown recently in an exhibition
drill given at Madison Square Garden,
New York. The Thirteenth regiment.
United States infantry, made q remark
allie display Of power and skill. Sixty
four men of this regiment are able to
scale a wall 25 feet high in three min
utes. There actually seems no limit to
the power of human muscles when prop
erly developed. This was always the
contention of Hermann, already men
toned. "a
The widest results Of tho new system
Of army drill and training will probably
be reached among the boys Of the ma
tional guard throughout the country.
The fine young farmers, mechanics and
clerks who compose the national guard
regiments will have opportunity to
make themselves fully as athletic and
graceful as the regular army soldiers.
Let it be urged on them everywhere that
they avail themselves Of the opportunity.
From them the system will spread
throughout all classes and the American
race will become physically strong.
handsome and graceful.

THE TRAMPS WANT WORK
A Strange Condition of Affairs De-
veloping as March 4 Approaches.
1t Is Only, However, to Act as
Special Policemen During the
Inauguration Period.

| The announcement that there are to be
several hundred special policemen appoint
| ed for duty here during the inauguFa ton
periods one of the magnets whichis attract
ing to this city many unemployed men and
| honoes As strange as it may seem, it is q
fact, nevertheless, that a number OF timer
! ants from every point OF tie compass have
already applied to Lieut. Kelly, at the
Sixth precinct station house, as well as
in some OF the other precincts, tn have their
names entered upon the lists from which
will be selected tie contingent ef tenn
porary baton wieldcrs who viii guard the
property of citizens on tie back streets,
while the regular boys in blue are handling
the big crowds down town.
There are enough iCle WashingtOnians
tOSupply all the specials required five times
over, and they will no doubt be given the
preference. But regardless of this, the
roadsters are pushing themselves to the
fornt and demanding appointment ON tie
score that this is a rational city, without
vote or voice in its own affairs, and as such
are entitled to the same rights as those
who have resided here for years.
looking fellow appeared at No. yester-
day, and asked that his name be entered on
the list for appointment as special. \
regular policeman, after sizing up the
fellow for while, remarked:
$50 you want job watching peoples

Yes, that's what 1 do replied the
applicant, with a touch OF the Bowery
lingo.
We'll, old boy added the patrolmau,
"while you would he watching property
it would require about two shrewd, quick
witted cops to be watching you
Many local mechanics. who have been out
OF employment during the winter, are also
applying for appointment as special in
augural policemen, and in some instances
former government clerks and merchants
are striving for the temporary appoint
ments, which will pay them So Per diem
during their weeks employment.
The police say tramps from all sections
of the country who are anxious to witness
the ceremonies attending the Inauguration
of MesSrs Mckinley and Hobart are flock
ing here. These who seek lodgings at the
station houses, unless they can give n
pretty good account OF themselves, are
vagged and sent to the police court. AS
result the workhouse is rapidly being filled
with this human driftwood from nowhere
in particular and everywhere in general.
Many of the roadsSeTs havelearned of this
action on the part Of the police, and are
consequently seeking lodgings across the
river. It is said that a large congregation
OF tramps spend their nights in the shacks
about Jackson City. In the morning they
amble across the bridge to this city and beg,
borrow or steal for a living.
