PENNsYLVANIA'S NAVAL RE
SERVE COMMANDANT REPLIES
TO CHARGES OF TIN SOLDIERY.

PENNSYLVANIA'S NAVAL RE
SERVE COMMANDANT REPLIES
TO CHARGES OF TIN sOLDlERY.
It seems that the officials of Pennsyl-
vaniasN natty Naval Aeserves have
chafed under the government criticism
that they are tin soldiers and dress
parade men.
The official report made to the Navy
Department regarding the Pennsylvania
Naval Militia and based upon the con-
duct of the men while upon the recent
tour Of duty on the United States bat
tleship Maine has aroused tho indigna-
tion Of Commander Francis Skunk
Brown. lie says
"The men were exercised in the boats
part Of Sunday. July 4; returned to the
city that night, and we're inspected at z
O'Clock on the morning OF July by the
state officials on Queen street wharf,
and Immediately afterward proceeded
to the park and participated in the
military maneuvers there; returned 10
the ship that afternoon at o'clock and
Immediately proceeded to New Castle,
where signal drills were held that
night.
TUESDAY. July 6, was fixed for fur
ther inspection by the inspector gen
eral. and until his arrival in the after
noon the men were constantly kept in
the boats at boat drills. During the
whole OF the cruise the men were taught
practically the use of the lead and all
other matters which the board criticises
as not having been done.
Shortly after our arrival al New
Castle / placed the organization en-
tirely in the hands and under the con-
troll of the captain Of the Maine and the
Board of Inspection and every move
ment thereafter was directed by them
The fact that men did not go oftenei
and stay longer on the Maine was due
entirely to the decision of her officers
and | consider the criticism wantoni,
ungracious.
"That the organization struck thii
board as being for show purposes is e
mo amusing when we consider that be
tween two and three hundred younl
men from all walks of life are Willing
the year round to give hours Of time
night after night in an effort to qualif
themselves in the subjects Designate
by the Navy Department and state OIL
cials."

Alfred GrissOm Tells of a Narrow Es-

Alfred GrissOm Tells of a Marrow Es-
cape I'm Alabama.
Alfred Grissom, the manager of the
summer excursion boats, has a cannon
ball story which he says is Gospel truth.
People in the excursion business have
q strict regard for veracity, and many
of his friends believe every word of it,
says the st. Louis Republic.
Several years ago, the story runs.
Mr. Grissom was Ia st. James parish,
La. He had occasion to visit a sawmill
where the big cottonwood logs were be-
ing cut into lumber. His attention was
attracted to a particularly large log,
when suddenly there was n loud crash,
like that of the teeth striking a nail.
Windows were broken, men shouted
and the machinery was stopped. Mr..
Grissom was not hurt as he had i'm
agined. Something had happened and
he stopped to see the cause. The big
log was removed from TIE rack and
split open. A large cannon ball was
Embedded in the center. The saw had
struck it and broke into n myriad of
pieces which few in all directions. Five
pieces passed through his hat. one
struck his watch and glanced OF, an
other hit a silver dollar in his vest
pocket and left scratch along its sur
face. Luckily. none of the flying par
ticles struck his body or did other in
jury than break few panes of glass in
the Office compartment.
