A Negro Colonel Enlists.

A recent visitor to the executive man.
sion who had the largest amount of
self-constituted Importance, perhaps.
OF any visitor in the last decade was a
negro COLONEL from Virginia. He
came in with flowing Jim-Swinger and
artificial cooked hat, demanding to see
the president Ito oncet." For a time
he was fretful of restraint, and refused
to consider anything except an imme-
date admission into the White house
inner sanctum. The officials asked him
what vas the matter with him and
other profane questions, which at
length induced him to explain his err
rand to the subordinate.
He was from Charlottesville, Va, and
had a colored regiment ready to go to
the war, which he wanted mustered into
service and sent to Santiago by the
next boat. The president, of course,
would have this lone If he understood
the patriotism of these dusky volun-
teers.

the first command you would give the
troops?" was asked Of the old uncle.

"What would be your next COM
mand?"
"'Prepare to move forward, sah.'"
what next?"
"'Shoot 'em for toe kill, sah.'"
Then it occurred to the doOrkeener to
ask the man his NAME. The answer was
quick and original.
~. Smith, sah."
"What does the j. stand for?" was
the next query.
The old man holly replied: Don't
you know nothin'? J. stands for gin

Hospital Corps Director.

DR.. Anita Newcomb MCGEE, director
of the hospital corps of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, whose
headquarters are at Washington, was
born in 1864. Her father was Prof.
Simon Newcomb, Phi. D., LII. D., and
her mother, Mary c. Hassier Newcomb,
daughter Of DR.. c. A. Newcomb of the
United States navy.
Mrs. McGee's early education was re-
ceived in her native city followed
by three years Of travel abroad. In
1886 she took up the study of history
and genealogy. In 1887 she was mar
ried to Prof. w. J. MCGEE, the we'll
known ethnologist, who is connected
with the Smithsonian institution. In
1889 Mrs. MCGEE began the study of med
icine in Columbia university, and re-
ceived the degree of M. D.. from that
institution in 1892. The following year

Saluting the President.

Lieutenant Philip Andrews, U. S. N,
contributes to the July st. Nicholas an
article on Ceremonies and Etiquette
on a Man-of-War." Lieutenant Andrews
says:
The regulations of the navy set forth
just what honors shall be shown the
various high officials and military Of
ficers who visit our men-of-war. The
practice follows closely thai in rogue
by all nations. so that it would be
very difficult to leave out any of the
numerous honors and salutes now Civ
en-. That more simplicity in the honors
shown officials would be better suited
to our republican form of government
is certain; but international courtesy
requires that we go through the same
ceremonies as those employed by the
most sensible countries. The Chinese
have a most sensible custom of rem
dering honors. They give a salute Of
three guns whatever the rank OF the
visitor. This ave. much noise and
waste Of powder, and would be ex-
cellent practice for all nations to fol-
low.
When the president Of the United
States visits a ship of war Of our coun,
try, he is received at the gangway by
the admiral, commodore or command
ing officer, together with such other Of
ficers as may be selected. The officers
OF the ship, in full uniform, are on
deck; the crew, in their best uniforms,
are at quarters for inspection, and the
marine guard and band are paraded.
AS the president steps on deck the
drums give our %ruff1es, the band plays
the national air, the Presidents flag is
displayed at the main and a salute CT
t~wenty-one guns is fired. When the
president leaves the same ceremony is
gone through with, the same salute
being fired when the BOAT containing
him clears the ship. his flag being
hauled down at the last gun.
Any other vessels of the navy pre-
sent give the sane s%alutes, and the
crew, as the president passes, man the
yards of parade alcng the rail if the
ship is without $quare-rigged masts.
Manning the yards is one Of the GUS
toms Of the old navy and is dying out
with the disappearance of square-rig,
ged masts. The len stand on all the
yards, arms stretched out and hands
grasping the life lines, which are
stretched above the yard TO give proper
support. 1t is a very pretty sight, as
the life lines can not be seer and the
men seem to be standing unsupported
on the yards. AS men-of-war today
are being built without sail power and
with only military masts this ceremony
has of necessity been replaced by sim
ply parading the crew on deck in the
most conspicuous places.

Are pictured in her face;
The bloom of lovely womanhood
Still gilds her cheek but, o,
She sits alone and signs TODAY.

Sweet Mildred in the shade,

And roses yet, but, o,

As he was leaving Mrs. Burrell began
making the bed he slept in, aud found
therein come lively graybacks. He was
called back and she demanded pay for
having to wash the bed clothes. He re-
fused to pay anything. She caught hold
the bride rein of his horse and gave him
to understand she meant business. He
threatened to shoot her if she didn't let

face she still held to the bride rein. Mr..
Burrell ran in the honse for his shot gun.

Rev. W. J. Martindale. the Presiding

Rev. w. J. Martindale. the Presiding
Elder of this district for the NJ. E.
church. held services on Sunday. deliver
ing sermon morning aud evening. The
elder is a gentleman in the middle age vi
life. He is an educated man, pleasant in
manner, aud with ministerial dignity
becoming preacher. This was his first
appearance, and we believe the c0ngre-
CATION was highly pleased with his SER
mons. In the morning he chose his
text from the fifth verse Of the frs
haDfer Of TIE -salOnians: 'sFIOw that
our gospel came not unto you in word
only. but also in power, and in the Holy
Ghost. and in much assurance" Mr..
Martindale is Il pleasant speaker and dis
courses from an intelligent standpoint.
The power of the word is in its study aud
in whatever use we may Make Of it &c
cording to Gods wish aud design. We
must give Thought in the study of God 5
word, and by this purpose we execute its
power.
An old-fashioued love feast was he'd
i'm the afternoon. in which a number Of
members participated.
In the evening Mr.. Martintlale spoke
from a text in PHILIPPIANS. 1:2l: ''FOr
to Inc to live is Christ, and to die is gain. >
He said if yOn judge a man rightly you
i'm, Vs1c io1a DN<,d
reefs his energies. We must know the
aim or purpose in all the purposes of life.
With this knowledge we receive power
and influence. He said when we view a
picture we must understand the purpo. e
OF the artist for full comprehension of
his idea. 1t was the same in contemplate
ing the work Of the architect. The
power OF mans life is to be measured
by the aim he sets forth. Every great man
has some great aim. The fullest compre-
hensiOn of his subject was in the state
mrnt when he said, IF we express tie
life of Christ we must have that life."
Under the elders reasoning no man fully
expresses an idea. thought or action
without having the purpose clearly set
forth in his mind, anu whatever profes
sion he makes it must be a part of his
nature. He cannot. in other words, ex-
press the life Of christian from any
other standpoint than the true Christ
life.
