NOT THE COLD BUT GOLD
Local Weather Conditions Not Such as to

Prevailing Temperature Moderate

Gen. Humidity is Resting.
Mre MOIcrate

If man states that it is not the gold
but the cold Which is inducing him to
leave Washington fer Alaska it is simply
subterfuse. While it Is considerable
warmer here now than it has been for
several days, the weather is not in the
least unbearable. Cen Humidity has not
yet been able to join his forces with those
of Gen. Debility, Col. High and Major
Low" to rack suffering humanity, and
life here is not such as to discourage any
one from remaining. ap-

Showers Tonight.
The weather indications for the District
OF Columbia are for local showers tonight
and Tuesday; easterly winds. The tempera-
ture will remain stationary.
AT O'Clock this morning the tempera ture
was II degrees. and the mercury had
climbed up six notches by o'clock, which
was only one degree higher than ii was at
midnight. AT noon today the old reliable
thermometer at the weather bureau regis
tered only 50 degrees
The thermometer registered only SIS de-
grees in Washington yesterday, which, with
a breeze continuing steadily the greater
part of the day, made the conditions much
better than they would have been other
wise. Out of the sun, where the air could
get fair sweep near a fountain, was a
first-class imitation of yachting trip along
the Atlantic shores.
The mercury took century runs yesterday
in both Abilene, Tex, and Little Rock,
Ark. Other warm places were Palestine,
Tex, where the thermometer registered 3S
degrees, and Montgomery, Ala; Memphis
and Nashville, Tenn, respectively, where
it reached 94 degrees

At the Emergency Hospital yesterday
there was one case Of exhaustion produced
by the heat. Katie Tibbs, colored, laun-

noon near her home. She was taken to the
hospital in the patrol wagon of the first
precinct, where she was attended by DR..

The Morton Cadets VIII Get n Warm
Welcome When They Return.
The announcement made here last even
ing, through The Stars bulletin, that the
Morton Cadets had been awarded second
place occasioned as great surprise as it
did disappointment for the belief was gen.
erai that the boys would take the first
prize by a comfortable margin. This sur
prise of the stay -at-home members and the
District National Guard in general was
heightened when it was learned that the
Mortons had been beaten by the Governors 9
Guards Of Austin, Tex. a company which
had been regarded as a rank out slider. The
disappointment was intensified when it
was reported that but for technical mis-
take the boys would have landed in first
place.
The ex-champions will reach home We'd
Eesday night, and despite the fact that
they will not bring back the cup, they will
be received In such a manner will con-
vince them that they are first at least in
the hearts and esteem of their own people.
The stay-at-home Mortons are preparing
rousing reception for their comrades when
they get home. committee of ten, of
which Messrs. c. R. Yeatman. T. J. Powell
and A. Gilman are the moving spirits, has
taken the matter in charge. Invitations
have been extended to all the battalions of
the National Guard to participate in the
escort ana the majors or the battallonS
have been requested to invite each COM
pany. An endeavor will be made to have
Gen. Ordway order the entire National
Guard of the District to participate.
Subscriptions will be asked from the busi-
ness men and citizens generally to defray
the expenses of a banquet to be given to
the drill company on the night of its re-
turn and the few already requested to sub
scribe have generously responded. There
will be about thirty-f1ve invited guests at
the entertainment. and with the Mortons
themselves and their stay-at-home COM
rades about 100 persons will be present.

CALLED FOR HIS MONEY.
Martin Shoemaker Makes Demand Mt
the Post Office for 100000.

Martin Shoemaker Makes Demand Mt
the Post Office for 100000.
If Martin Shoemaker had heard of the
Alaska gold find instead of imagining
Uncle Sam owed him a million dollars, he
would probably be on his way to the gold
fields instead Of occupying prison cell in
this city. Iaboring under this belief, the
supposed insane man called at the city post
office this morning and wanted 100000 Of
the amount. Instead of getting the money
he got arrested by Policeman Brennan, and
now he may have to go to the asylum.
The man has a naturally loud and harsh
voice. and when he called at the post office
and made the demand for part of the
money he claimed, he succeeded in attract
ing the attention of the people who were
there attending to business.
According to the mans statement he has
been in this country only a short time,
coming here from Holland. From New
York he says he went across the river to
Brooklyn. and there he worked at his
trade. Now he seems to imagine that the
government owes him a million dollars for
property, one hundred thousand Of the
amount to be paid down.
When he reached the city post office he
called on Mr. Bergman, who was in charge
of the buEeau Of information. and stated
his case. The money owed him he said
had been made payable at the post office.
and he became rather indignant when told
that there was no money In the post office
to his credit. Mr.. Bergman soon realized
that the man was either crank or crazy.
and. to satisfy him, told him he would
have the check for him In ten minutes.
Before leaving, however, Shoemaker gave
the information that IL he did not get the
money he would appeal to President Nc
Kinley, for he said they were personal
friends. And. he added, he had an engage
ment with the President at O'clock, inde-
pendent of this transaction.
"pl be back he said, az he left the
building But he did not go far. for he re-
NAMED on the curbstone, evidently intend
ing to return at the expiration Of the ten
minutes.
Before the time had expired Policeman
Brennan touched the man on the shoulder
and told him he wanted him. Shoemaker
did not object to going with the officer. but
rather enjoyed the ride to the police sta
ton, and went into the cell without muir
muir. II the police surgeons find he is In
sane he will be sent to the asylum.

Competitive Drin a Lottery.

1t all goes to show that interstate COM
petitive drilling is a lottery, pure and SIM
pie. The Morton Cadets last Thursday
gave the finest exhibition of drilling ever
seen in any drill field. At Memphis they
excelled all competitors in drill, but failed
to take the cup because of inspection. AL
though Capt. Shilling and every cadet is
almost heartbroken. because they confident
ly expected first prize, it must not be over
looked that the winning Of second prize
in this drill means practically as much as
first victory In any preceding contest. The
Mortons finished ahead of such famous
teams as the Sealys, Company D Of Min
nesota, the Thurstons and the Belknaps,
all of whom drilled in unprecedented form.
Defeat at the hands of any OF those men,
toned was to be expected other than from
the Governors Guard.
The famous Thurston Rifles, champions
of the Memphis drill, who threatened 70
make the Mortons eat crow here; Company
d Of Minnesota, second prize winner Of the
big Washington drill In 1887, and the BEL
knap Rifles, third prize winners at WASH
ington and first winners at series of other
drills, failed to take a prize.
Reason for Pride In Mortons.
Washington has every reason to feel
more than proud OF the Morton Cadets.
