CAPT. SHILLING ON THE DRILL.

In an interview a Galveston News
reporter, Capt. Schilling, of the Nor
ton Cadets, says:
After the Sealeys had drilled we
said among ourselves that il would
be nip and tuck between the Morton
Cadets and the Sealeys. From the
drills put up by the other companies
1 felt that the Mortons would have
nothing to fear from any of them
with the exception of the Sealy Ri
fles. No one for an instant thought of
the Governors Guard. From their
work it was. clear to anyone that they
were purely amateurs. II seems very
strange to reasoning minds that such
men as Captain Boyd, of the Sealys,
Captain Foy, of the Thurstons, Cap
tain Bean of the st. Pauls, and I may
say myself, who have handled drill
programmes time and time again,
should have interpreted the programme
exactly alike, and Captain Roberdeau
to stand alone upon his Interpretation
of the programme. Lieutenant Jen-
kins, who made the programme, told
me shortly after the Governors Guard
had drilled that when he delivered the
programmes to the judges he under
stood the Interpretation to be on the
disputed point, that which was render
ed by the Sealey Rifles, the Morton
Cadets, the Thurstons and the st.
Pauls. But of course we can not
criticise the decision of the judges.
They are gentlemen of the highest
reputation, and what they did they Gid
according to their best judgement and
ability. No officers could have been
more courteous to us than they were,
and we haven't anything but words of
admiration for them. But even sup
posing that the Governors Guards
were correct on that one interpreta-
ton, it scenes hard to understand
while the whole thing should hinge
on that The balance of the drill as
put up by the Guards was decidedly
ragged, and in my opinion, they rank
ed on a par with the Belknaps. The
Thurstons and the st. Pauls were far
superior to them. 1 confess that /
cannot understand it and 1 am going
home feeling that 1 have not learned
one thing by this drill. The work put
up by my men is thoroughly satisfact-
DRY to me, and inasmuch as the judges
do not point out where the errors were
made, / am at a loss to know wherein
we failed. There is no doubt about one
thing, however, and that is that the
Sealeys won the hearts of everyone of
us by their gentlemanly conduct and
their hospitality to us, and for that we
have no adequte thanks"

HE SPEAKS PLAINLY.

Captain Boyd, of the Sealey Rifles,
speaking about the drill 10 the Hous-
ton Post reporter, said:
''You could have knocked me over
with feather" said he. There
were four really fine companies in the
championship drill. They were the
Mortons, the Thurstons, the st. Pauls
and the Sealys, But the Governors
Guard, why, they were simply not in
it. 1t was toss up between the Nor
tons and the Sealys. The captain of
the Mortons told me that if he got
first prize he would take off his hat
to US and acknowledge that We de-
served it. 1 assured him that l felt
that way about his team, but along
comes this decision that the Govern
ors Guard beat both of US"
II consider the present team of the
Sealy rifles, as they drilled at San An
tonic, the finest this country has ever
produced, and we are at loss to know
why we did not win. AS far as the
Interpretation of certain parts of the
program is concerned, we have the au-
thority of the army officers for every
thing we did. We consider our tactics
correct. We, however, feel very CRATE
full for the reception rendered us this
morning, and while we perhaps did not
deserve it, yet we all did the best we
possibly could do. Personally, I am
satisfied with the work the company
did"

The Seeing of Ghosts Due to Defective
Eyestght.

Eyesfght.
A recent number of the Australian
Medical Gazette contains brief but
instructive report of the cure of case
of hallucinatory disorder. The patient,
a man aged 60 years, had suffered for
two years from subjective visual sensa-
tons not day passed that he did not
see a large number of spectral human
figures. and believing himself to be
haunted by ghosts he had become very
respondent and melancholy. On seek
ing medical advice it was found that
he had senile cataract. When this was
removed by operation the ghosts fed
and the man recovered his usual health.
In this connection we may cite the case
of tradesman in Berlin whose shop
was haunted by apparitions resembling
in appearance some of his deceased Gus
toner's. He was an intelligent man,
aware that he suffered from sensory
hallucination, and made notes of his
subjective impressions. In due time he
submitted his eyes to examination and
operation, with the result of restora-
ton of normal vision and the immedi.
ate and final disappearance of his in.
tangible visitors. The obvious teach.
ing of the foregoing and similar cases is
that in these modern days the person tc
be resorted to for the exorcism of spir.

THE SToIC HERO MADE NO OUTCRY.
pie, and it was wrecked in waters full
of sharks, and the lieutenant and six
of his men escaped drowning by cling
ing to a capsized boat. The lieutenant
was the youngest of them all, except
a lad named Wilson, but he was also the
coolest and cleverest, as commanding
officer ought to be. He ordered the
men to get off the boat and endeavor to
right it. They obeyed, all the time
they were in the water waving and kick;
ing to scare off the sharks they could
see swimming about. Lieut. Smith then
ordered two of the men into the boat to
bail, while the rest chung to her sides.
With so much water in her she could
not bear up more than two men. Soon,
though, so much water was bailed out
that he ordered two more men into the
boat, and the bailing was going on fast
when one of the two beside himself who
were still in the water was seized by q
shark, and with one cry sank. This so
frightened the men that, horrible to
tell, they once more capsized the boat.
The young commander remained calm,
ordered all hands to again right the
boat, and when that was done put two
men in i: again to bail. As they got to
work shark, with one bite, took off
one of Lieut.. Smiths legs, and he, the
more than stole hero, made no sign,
lest fright again cause his men to cap
size the boat. They did not know he
was hurt. In a moment or two the
rest were ordered into the boat, he wait
ing to enter it last himself. Just as he
was ready to ask the men to help him
a shark caught his remaining leg. He
fell hack in the water, but his men
saved him, and lifted him into the boat
to die. With his last breath he told
the boy Wilson to report to the adj
miral that all the men had done their

was clinging to the ship with his right

hold again with his left, and that was
cut off, but not until he had driven his
head up to the deck of the boat, and,
with both hands gone, he still chung
