MEN WILL BE CONSULTED.
VOICE OF PRIVATES WILL RULE
IN MASTERING OUT.
Privates Have Made Sacrifices and
Will Not Be Retained Against
Their Wishes.

Washington, August 24.-(Special.)- the
muster out of volunteers, which begins I'M
der orders issued today, GeorEia's two bat
teries of light artillery are scheduled LOT
early disappearance from the service.
1t is probable that the First regiment
will be one of those included in the next
batch given out at the war department.
The desire of that regiment to be mustered
out has been communicated to the depart
ment.
There is a disposition on the part
of officials here to look askance at re
quests for continuance in service when
such requests come from officers.
AS one of the officials of the adjutant gem
erals office said today:
I'VE want to ascertain If possible the
sentiments of the men, not the ofncefS.
A lot of these officers of volunteers
have better positions from a monetary
standpoint than they have ever held
before. while many of the privates are
making real personal sacrifices in going
into tine service. We want so far as
possible to retain those who want to be-
retained but we prefer to have other
e-.scnce than that of the officers alone.
In the adjutant generals bulletin issued
this afternoon the following volunteer or
carnations are ordered mustered out:
First Vermont VOfunteer infantry, First
Maine volunteer infantry. Fifty-second
Iowa volunteer infantry, Sixth Pennsyl-
wanna volunteer infantry, tIith Marylahh

CUBANS ARE SLOW TO DISBAND.

Washington. August 24.--rhe representa-
tives of the Cubans in the United Stat es
are still making every effort to secure the
disarmament of the Cuban forces and ac-
quiescence in the policy of the United
States in Cuba.
Letters are being sent and arguments
made to the Cuban leaders pointing out
that the interests of the Cubans lie in CO.

ties Little or no information has been re-
ceived as to what effect these representa-

FIFTH LEAVES FOR SANTIAGO.
Regiment Takes Transports at Tampa
for Cuban Shores.

Tampa, Fla, August 22.-An expe-
dition Of troops left here yesterday for
Santiago on the transports Knicker-
booker and Saratoga, carrying Colonel
Freeman and the Fifth regiment OF
regulars. This was the last regiment
of infantry left in this city. The reg
iment has been sent to preserve order
in the conquered city.
For number of years the Fifth has
been stationed at southern barracks.
and therefore it is considered to be as

The secretary of war has given his
promise that the Third Georgia regi~

He dld that this morning In response to
the request of Colonel Livingston. who
came on to Washington IN the interest OF

that he might telegraph Colonel Gambler

N A. Scanned Over Parents Grave.


rapidly worse and on Feb. Is. the day
set for the ceremony, she passed away.
The shock OF her mothers death al
most carried away the bride-to-be. She
withered under 1t and when at last she
began to recover her health and
strength she went every day to the
cemetery to kneel upon the sod which
sheltered the mortal remains Of her
whom she loved SO dearly and to pray
for her eternal happiness.
The young man came with her. he
who was ready to cleave to her in sick
tness and death. and. kneeling there on
that green mound, 1t came to them that
1t would be fitting they should be we'd
ded there above the mothers grave
and ON the anniversary OF her death.
Thus 1t came about that this strange
ceremony was performed in the acre
OF mourning amid the cleaning head
stones and the weeds Of sorrow. Last
Sunday few friends were bidden to
the wedding. and when they were as
sembled at the grave the young man
and the young woman came down the
avenue OF bare and leafless trees hand
in hand. At the foot of the grave they
halted and the minister. standing in
front of the marble shaft erected in
memory of the mother. made them
man and wife.
Thus was the idea OF this odd SER
vice carried out. The church was beau-
tiful Oak Hill cemetery: the lights
were the slanting rays Of the sun play
ing hide-and-seek with the shadows OF
the great trees: the flowers were the
loving mementoes placed upon the
mounds OF the sleeping dead: the
music was the soft carol of birds and
the requiem Of gentle wind. and the
altar was mothers grave.
All around the little company were
the graves Of the dead; above them
arched the blue sky: the tender charms
Of nature were everywhere displayed;
the sounds Of priestly prayer and or
phans sigh, gentle breeze and twitter-
ing birds mingled In an anthem from
nature to natures God. and the fast
declining sun. in final burst of gold
en- glory gilded the mothers monu-
ment and shone radiantly upon the
young bride like benediction.

Bridal Calls.

A very general inquiry is, on the
part OF young brides, how bridal calls
should be returned. One need only say
the rules that apply to ordinary calling
are equally In force on these occasions,
and the bride should follow them as
any other married lady would do. It is
quite an obsolete idea to suppose that
a bride must remain at home day af-
ter day to receive those who may hap
pen to call. On the contrary, the up
to-date bride allows her acquaintances
to take the chance OF finding her at
home or not. and returns the calls she
has received In due course as quickly
as may be. She takes up the life she
intends leading from the moment of
her return. and does not give herself
the penance Of an enforced stay within
doors during each afternoon of week
following week until all possible cal
lers have been duly received. She does
not wish to show her wedding presents.
as the majority of her friends have al
ready seen them, and she does not in
tend offering wedding cake to callers.
as 1t Is not the fashion to do SO. and
she prefers to make engagements for
herself for each day.
