Everybody and everything are working as
smoothly ard as systematically as though
soldering were a regular vocation. And
what Is more. all seem to enjoy 1t thor
oughly. The people of Washington, too.
are beginning to realize that the National
Guard is in camp, and that the city of
tents Is well worth visiting.
The attendance of spectators last evening
at dress parade was very gratifying, and
large crowds disembarked from all the
steamers which reached Fort Washington
today. But the gala day of the encamp-
ment will be tomorrow, when everybody
who possesses 'ai:best girl expects her~to'

Enthusiasm Manifested by Projectors
of New Y. NJ. G. A. Home.
A meeting in the interests of the fund
which Is being raised for the erection of a
building for the Young Mems Christian
Association was held last evening at Foun-
dry M. E. Church. A great deal Of en-
thusiasm was manifested and subscrip-
tions amounting to $500 were pledged.
The president of the association Mr..
L. c. Williamson, introduced the various
speakers.
Rev. DR.. Teunis s. Hamiin made the
point that business men were interested
In the association. because it provided a
hours.
In the opinion of Mr.. Francis Murphv
nefp IN erecting the new building can be
looked Tor from the poor as well as the
rich, and small as well as large contribu-
tions will be made. He stated that he
you'd be one Of a thousand % give 500.
He also subscribed 500 for Mrs. Murphy
Rev. DR.. Greene suggested three mass
meetings. one to be held on Capitol HILL an
other in the center of the city and still
another in West Washington, for the pur-
pose OF pushing the movement. The
building. he said, was a necessity, and
would be erected. ..
The general secretary, Mr.. w. N MuIter
gave an account of the movement for the
committee had considered for a year past
plans and suggestions from secretaries in
other cities. with desire to embrace In
the new building the best features in all
others. Chicago, he said, had the best
building, and he hoped to see still better
one here. Tho building. in order to at
tract young men, should be home-like and
have every convenience. He had often
called on young men by request, and in
v1tcd them to the present quarters of the
! association. They came, but there were
80 80 lew attractions they never returned
Inc poor ccommodations were noted nv
every casual visitor. Last winter there
were $50 attendants at the business school
with better facilities this number would
reach LOO or 1000. At present. he con
ciuded. the Y. M. c. A. was losing ground
and 1t was due that the people should come
forward ard erect the new building.
Mr. w. III. II. Smith said ne felt sure
the Christian Endeavor. Epworth League
brotherhood Of Andrew and Philip and
BroNerhood Of ST. Andrew, together with
the Sabbath schools, might be enlisted in
the movement, and would prove valuable
aids. Unity meant the erection of the
building.

A VALUABLE INVENTION.
Mr.. John III. Johnson Invents an Auto
matte, Pneumatic Railroad Switch.

Mr.. John III. Johnson Invents an Auto
matte, Pneumatic Railroad Switch.
Mr.. John III. johnson, of this city, an
engineer on the Seaboard Air Line, has
received from the Patent Office at Wash
ington, D. c., letters patent for an au-
tomato pneumatic railroad switch. This
patent is so arranged that the switch can
be set to shut itself from the side track
within any number of minutes desired.
To illustrate if conductor leaves side
track open with the switch set to shut in
eight minutes, it will automatically close
before any other train can arrive at that
siding, and will, therefore, obviate side
track collision, which, next to collisions,
is the chief cause of disasters on rail-
roads.
Competent railroad men who have ex-
amined the new invention believe it will
be a great success. Mr.. Johnson has re-
ceived letters from all parts of the coun-
try.
II get so many letters about it" said
Mr.. johnson. ''that / will have to en-
ploy a private secretary to answer them
ALL"
Mr.. Johnson is nephew of Mr.. John
Niemyer. the oldest engineer on the At
lantic Coast Line. and is himself one of
the most capable engineers in the State.
Here's hoping that he may make a
fortune on his invention.
