English Woman for Twelve Years
Succeeds in Concealfn0 He1 Sex.
One of the strangest cases that has
ever been brought to the attention Of
the, immigration authorities at New
York came to light the other morning.
It was the story Of q handsome young
woman of an aristocratic English fam
lily, who for 10 years had masqueraded
as man, and who, in trying to pass
through the barge Office as such, was
detected by watchful attache. When
Commissioner Senner blurted out: "Are
you man or woman?' the newcomer
looked at him with utter scorn. 'I'm
man." he said, raising his voice, In
growing Indignation "You have no
right to insult me in this way he add
ed, turning to leave the room.
It was not until it became evident
that DR.. Senner could no longer be de-
ceived that the supposed young man
confessed that she" was woman. She
broke down and begged the doctor not to
expose her. "I'll kill myself" she
dramatically declared, before I'll wear
woman's clothes. It is my LIES desire
to be man. That the Almighty made

OUR LEGATION IN MADRID.
Men Who Have Represented Wasl,

Men Who Have Represented WASH
ingtOn In Spain's Capital.
From the New York Sun.
The post of minister to Madrid has been
one of the most important in the diplomatic
service of the United States, and Stewart
l.. Woodford is the thirty-third represen-
tative Of the United States to be accred-
tied officially to the Madrid government
The first American minister to Spain was
the Virginian, William Short. and at the
time of his appointment in 1890, by Wash
ington, then President, he was looked
upon as representative of the old school
OF Virginians, who, at that time, seemed
to have greater qualifications for the Dip
iematic service than other Americans
Jenersons minister to Spain was Charles
Flnckney OF South Carolina, and at the
conclusion of his term Of service official
relations between Spain and the United
states were broken off for the six years
from 1SOS to 1914 When they were re-
stunned, John Forsyth Of Georgia became
American minister to Spain, and during
his tenure. by the treaty of 1919, Spain
formally coded to the United States after
long controversy the territory of the pres
ent state of Louisiana east Of the Mississ-
bama and Mississippi south of :he thirty
first parallel and that portion of the pres
ent state of oLuiSana east of the Mississ-
ippi, except what was then called the Is
land OF New Orleans. The ground of dis
pute between Spain and the United States

ested may obtain some idea of the charac-
ter of the practice work by watching the
movements of the company any evening be-
tween $50 and o'clock at the intersec-
ton of New Jersey avenue and n street.
1t is possible that Capt. Shilling may order
one or two drills in the early morning next
week. Lack of time for practice work has
been sadly felt in the preparations for the
San Antonio trip.
The different regard in which the local
ccmpan MES are held by the residents of
Washington, from the organizati lions of
other cities, is very striking to those fam
i.tar with the situation For instance, the
Thurston Rifles of Omaha, Neb., the most
dangerous rivals of the Mortons, will be
sent to Texas in first-class style by the
business men of Omaha. When the ccm-
pany first contemplated the trip, a sub
scription was started and in few days
TIE merchants had contributed more than
sufficient cash to cover the expenses of the
company that had the ambition to repre-
sent the city in the strife for the military
championship.
The same holds true of st. Paul, the home
of Company of the 1st Regiment. Min
nesota National Guard, as we'll as of Little
Rock, Ark, whence the Mccarthy Light
Guard goes to Texas. Similar stories
might truthfully be told perhaps Of every
other city, except Washington, that will
send representative to the big drill. 1t
would seem that the Morton Cadets, who
have asked absolutely no assistance and
have not even appealed to the public to the
extent OF benefit entertainment, are de-
serving of the utmost credit for under
taking the trip alone, and should receive
an approving pat on the shoulders from the
local populace even though the company
and it is a most improbable conjecture
should return to Washington without a
prize.
Uniform Appearance.
The Morton Cadets will travel in the
regulation National Guard undress uni
form, carrying blanket bags, with wooden
and rubber blankets. The boys will take
with them, however, full-dress National
Guard attire, with helmets, the distinctive
company black fatigue uniform and white
duck trousers The inspection and drill
will be in regulation full dress Every man
will wear shoes, collars and gloves of the
same pattern, and every head of hair will
be trimmed In military style by the same
barber. An extra set of rifles will be car
ried for the inspection. Capt Shilling hop
ing to pass a finer inspection at San An
tonic than ct any prior drill. The COM
pany will conduct it's own mess arrange
ments. and means to live we'll. Having
some doubt as to the quality and effects of
Texas drinking water, Capt. Shilling has
decided to have sent to Texas for the use
of the company several barrels of standard
mineral water. In fact no loop hole will
be left open that could in the slightest
manner detract from the condition and

FLOWING BY ELECTRICITY.
German Beet Sugar Farmers Employ
Up-tO-Dnte Methods.


From the Rural New Yorker.
Various and many have been the unfound-
ed rumors regarding the use of electric
mower for agricultural purposes and for
Moving. but IT appears that at last prac-
teal apparatus has been put TO use N
many parts OF Germany. Electric plowing
is particularly adapted to the needs OF the
extensive beet-root estates In Germany
which are devoted to the manufacture or
sugar. as these are Of large extent and rep
resent capital large enough to warrant the
use of labor-saving appliances. Further-
more on such estates there lis usually a
large steam central station plant and cleo
trio power for lighting purposes, and this
plant is usually idle at the period of the
wear when blowing is done. From this IL
is evident that with the addition of sys-
tenn of overhead conductors In the fields
electric blowing can be economically adopt
ed over these large areas.
In the system followed the overhead con-
ductors do not extend into all the fields.
but are tapped by temporary wires laid on
the ground where required. The plowing
outfit comprises a motor wagon, an anchor
wagon and q plow, which is drawn back
ward and forward between them and which
cuts five burrows at time. On the motor
wagon Is fixed a forty horse power motor
with the necessary switches and driving
gear both for hauling the pillow and travel
ing about from field to field. The anchor
wagon carries an anchor and sheave,
around which the hauling cable runs. II is
possible, with a conductor OF about 600
feet and a plow rope of 600 feet, to pillow
% acres from enc center of operations.
Mr.. Borsig of Berlin, the manufacturer
Of the apparatus here described. claims
that with q fixed steam engine Of go horse
power and FIVE plows 600 acres of medium
heavy ground can be plowed to a depth
OF fourteen inches at a cost of about 80
cents an acre. OF course, electric blowing
IL only adapted TO work on a large scale.
and particularly where power Is available.

Shilling limbers up the boys a little. They
get platoon movements in double time, the
manual marching; front into line. by file,
by twos. and a little Of everything. Notice
how handsomely the manual Is done while
the men are stepping off.
1t looks easy until you have tried it, and
then 1t seems very different. Remember,
each rifle weighs over nine pounds, and has
way Of weighing much more In the hot
sun and by virtue of much manipulation.
Capt. Shilling, drills the men with brief
rests. during which they wipe the perspi-
ration from their faces, and have no time
for anything else. Notice how the captain
swings them around In the platoon move
ments. They do not crowd at all. Each
man knows his place. and knows 1t
Well True, IT'S only few men, but they
know their business, and they are doing
all this for the honor Of Washington and
the glory of the District National Guard.
By and by the sun retires, ard in the
cooler air the drill is less fatiguing. Up
and down, to and fro in the company
movements the boys march and run and
malt, until one wonders why some Of them
do not fall from WEAKNESS. The manual
seems we'll nigh perfect. The rifles at
right shoulder all slope together, and the
hands come down as one.
1T will be better than that at San Anto-
Mo- mind you," says Capt. Shilling and
he Is evidently well pleased.
An Elaborate Program.
Camp Culberson. named in honor of the
BoNeTHor Oh IexaS, as planneO Will extend
from the foot of slope entirely around the
fair grounds at Riverside Park. Most of
the camp will be beautifully shaded by
pecan trees and a large growth of oak.
For the accommodation of the visiting
troops large platforms have been erected
at convenient places, where the San An
tonic river is quite deep, and where the
troops can avail themselves of river bath.
In addition to the attention which the
drill is attracting in the north the state of
Texas may be said to be fairly alive with
drill enthusiasm. The arrangements for
caring for the multitude of people are prac-
tically complete and are for an immense
throng. The detailed program for the drill
provides that during the forenoon, with the
exception of Sundays, the state troops will
maneuver, and it Is thought that the spec
tators will find 1t a very interesting pastime
to watch the battalion drills, the artillery
and cavalry and probably 1900 infantry en-
gagged in the evolutions incident to a camp
of instruction.
Elaborate programs have been arranged
for the afternoons. The opening day, Sat-
urday, July II, exhibition drills will be
given by the Morton Cadets and other
crack companies, and after a grand review
of all the troops the commissioned officers
will be presented to the sponsors. Monday,
July 10, the Mccarthy Light Guard and the
Thurston Light Rifles will drill in the

Antonio will be called upon to display con-
siderable nerve" in forming the company
properly under the scrutiny Of the judges
and thousands Of spectators.
The second sergeant Of the Morton Ca
diets. who is the right guide of the drill
team, Is Alphonso ". Shilling. a brother
of the captain. Like the company COM
mander, Sergt. Shilling is an Eastern High
School boy, serving as private, first SER
geant and second lieutenant at that school.
With the Morton Cadets, he was mustered
into the National Guard July q, 1892 and
mas performed continuous service since.
He was fourth sergeant in the Alexander
Island drill team. and was second sergeant
at both Memphis and Savannah. Military
men consider Sergt. Shilling an ideal SOL
der, and as a guide there are none better.
The third sergeant and left guide of the
drill team is Harry R. Sisson, a graduate
of the Business High School, and at one
time lieutenant of the company of cadets
at that institution. He acted as third SER
geant at Memphis and Savannah and in
that position is perfection personified.
The Roster.
Another High School boy is in the line of
file closers. He is Leroy W. Heron,
fourth sergeant of the team and left guide
of the second platoon. Sergeant Heron
cast his fortunes with the Central High
School, and in the regiment of cadets was
a corporal and a sergeant. He was a pri-
vate in the Savannah drill team and gave
such a good account of himself that Cap
tain Shilling had no occas ion to hesitate for
a moment in raining him as one of the
non-commissioned officers for the San An
tonic competition. In the opinion Of his
comrades, Sergeant Heron is .'al right, all
right"
Fifth Sergt Fred w. Albert, right guide
Of the second platoon, for some unexplain-
ed reason is always spoken of as Pat"
In this instance, however, it is not a case
of You're Irish, you lose" for Sergeant
Albert was a valuable member of the VIM
ming teams at Memphis and Savannah.
He is a graduate of the Central High
School, having been corporal, sergeant and
regimental sergeant major Of the cadets
during his school career. He was a pri-
waite at both interstate drills mentioned.
The men in ranks are the following:
First four, front rank-Privates Meigs,
Dawson. Buck and Corporal Mckee; rear
rank. Privates Cassin, Mueller, Lyman and
Mayer.
Second four, front rank-Privates Hou-
chen, Hughes, Chisholm and Corporal
Jones; rear rank, Private Kimme1, Forney,
Reynolds and Zurhorst.
Third four, front rank-Privates Nevius,
Mcgowan, Taylor and Corporal Gapin: rear
rank, Privates Franzoni, Joseph Carr,
Thomas and Brewer.
Fourth four, front rank-Privates Petty,
Brown, McCurdy and Corporal Yount: rear
rank, Privates Lacy, Heidenreich, Joshua
Carr, and Albert.
Several substitutes will accompany the
team, to be pressed into service in case of
sickness or accident. They have not yet
been finally selected by Captain Shilling.
