of the abilities of his men, still insisted
that they would carry off tho flag. He was
certain they would come out ahead in the
contest, and he pointed with pride to the
fine appearance they presented.
Private Pratt was in charge OF the picked
squad Of the Georgetown precinct, and
these men from the West End acquitted
themselves very creditably.
Sergeant Dnley's Team.
When Sergt. Daley appeared with the men
of Lieut.. Hollnberger's precinct. more than
ordinary interest was shown by those who
had finished their part in the drill, for the
sergeant is a thorough soldier, well as
policeman. And he did not disappoint his
audience, for the clock-ike movements of
the men in his command brought forth APP
plause from all parts of the grand stand.
He made a fatal mistake, however, by
keeping his command in roo close quarters.
with the result that one turn could not be
made without jamming his men against the
grand stand. This caused a serious break,
but it was soon repaired.
The last company to appear in the con-
test was that from the third precinct,
Lieut.. Boyles, and the cry of 'Fogsy Bot
TOM greeted them. Sergt. McNeey, who
is, perhaps, the youngest sergeant on the
force. had trained the members of this
squad, and under his leadership they exc
cuted the various movements in manner
which made them appear near the head of
the list when the question of determining
sthe winners had to be settled.
This concluded the drill, and the COM
panies took their positions on the part OF
the grounds farthest from the grand stand.
Maj. Moore then assumed full charge of
the battalion, with Capt Austin and In
spectors Pearson and Cross as aids. After
a battalion drill, which lasted but a few
minutes the three District Commissioners
advanced to the field.
The Winners Named.
Lieut.. Anliss was directed to march his
command to the front. This done, Sergt.
Moore was called from the ranks, and Com
missioner Ross, on behalf of Commissioner
Wight presented him with a flag similar
to the one which is to be kept by the pre-
cinct for at least one year, but which is not
yet finished.
In making the presentation. Commits
sioner Ross complimented the sergeant for
the excellent showing his company had
made, and informed him that the conclu-
sion had been reached only with consider
able difficulty, and in this connection he
took OCCASION to compliment the entire force.
He said that the flag is to be held until the
drill of next year is had, and the lucky
precinct then will succeed to possession.
Sergeant Moore. behalf of his company
and the entire precinct, thanked the Com
missioner for his kind words and assured
him that at the next annual drill the first
precinct will make effort to again win
the flag. The battalion then marched in re-
view and the exhibition closed.

FACT AND FICTION.

pear In Tomorrow Big Star.
1t is no idle boast to say that the big
Saturday Star this week will be a number
of almost unprecedented interest It is a
plain statement of fact, for tomorrow's
paper will contain two special features,
widely different but equally striking. One
of these will be the first installment of
Anthony Hopes latest story, Simon Dale"
Readers of good fiction are without excep-
ton admirers of the author of the '.Zenda
Stories" and the mere announcement of a
new serial by that popular writer insures q
literary feast that is quite out of the ordi-
nary. Simon Dale" will appear in INSTALL
ments, every Saturday for a period of about
four months.
In addition to this there will be a remark
able article descriptive of the dangers and
difficulties which confront the hordes of
gold seekers who are now heading for the
Klondike country. A couple of months ago
a well-known western newspaper man start
ed for the gold country, not with the idea
of going all the way in to Dawson City, but
simply to witness the remarkable scenes
from Juneau to the lakes. He went in on
Lindeman and back over the Dyea trail
from Lake Bennett. He describes what he
saw in way that makes his story entirely
different from any other articles that have
appeared on the general subject of the
klondike country. 1t will be freely illus
trated from photographs taken by the
writer himself.
Other special features in tomorrow's Star

Trans-Continentnl Overhead Railway
From Merriam Herald

The Canadians complain that their ex-
ports to Mexico passing through the
United States are all credited to Uncle
Sam by his statisticians. There are three
ways of avoiding this. One Is to build an
overhead railway across the United States
for Canadian lumber and manufactures;
another is to send the merchandise by sea-
and the third is to get annexed to the great
republic. But. really, Uncle Sam should
keep his books better. Mexico has tried
some live Canadians and they are all right,
and naturally they have a pride in showing
Mexico that their country has share IN
its trade.

to escort them away from the grounds with
it. There were several favorites among
them being the lucky company from The
banner precinct"
Lieut.. McCathran, who was one of the
two ieutenants to drill and command their
men, was first to appear for drill. Cheer
after cheer went up, and so loud and noisy
was the demonstration that the commands
of the lieutenant could scarcely be heard
by those in the ranks. But order was soon
restored, and the movements were executed
with but few breaks in the lines
Next came Sergt. Mulhall, in command
of the company of the fifth precinct, and
the sergeants men showed that some good
work had been done by the drill master.
Signal for ar Outburst.
The appearance OF Lieut. Kenney, with his
eighth precinct, was a signal for an out
burst from the "rooters" and the noise
was loud and long. 1t was kept up to such
an extent that the lieutenant had to motion
the crowd to keep quiet.
Lieut. kenney had drilled his company
with the assistance of Sergt. HARRISON
and the soldier-lke manner in which the
men handled their hatons showed that their

A story ofInraIIs.

Half a dozen Missourians, including one
or two members of congress, were discuss
ing ex-senator John j. ingalls,, of Kan
sas, in the lobby at Wizards yesterday
says the Washington Post. One of them
remarked that the ex-senators sharp re-
ply to the Kansas bishop was a type of
his best efforts in the line of scathing sar-
casm. 1T was that disposition to stick
pins in people that first brought ingalls,
into prominence and was ultimately re-
sponsible for his failure in public life,
said one of the party. Il remember an
instance of the kind which came to my
notice years ago when ingalls, and l were
both practicing law in Atchison. There
was judge on the bench by the name of
Hubbard, whom ingalls, took delight in
nagging on all occasions. Hubbard had a
way of nodding his head slowly back and
forth when listening to an argument
Young attorneys who were not onto the
judges curves frequently mistook this
movement for ecquiescence in the points
of their argument One day Tom Fenelon.
who was then young practitioner, had a
motion to make before Hubbard a mo-
ton which it was clearly the duty of the
court to grant. He got up and was stat
ing his reasons with considerable detail
when he noticed Hubbards apparent mods
of approval. Concluding it was a mere
waste of the judicial time to say anything
more he sat down. But to his surprise
Hubbard overruled his motion.
Turning to Ingalls,, who sat near, he
remarked: Why I'm surprised at that
1 thought the judge certainly intended to
grant my motion. He evidently fails to
see the point involved
" What made you think he would grant
it," asked ingalls,.
why he was nodding his head at
me all the time.
'Ingalls faced around toward the win
dow, and holding his hand up said do you
feel that gentle breeze coming through
here%
"Fenelon said yes, and looked interroga-
ton points at ingalls,, who continued
Wen, light as that breeze is, it sways
Hubbards head back and forth. That S
all there is to his nodding."
