An aide-de-camp to major-general is
allowed 5000 year in addition to the pay
of his rank; an aidede. camp to a brigadier-
general $50 additional, and an acting
commissary Of subsistence 800.
Equipment and subsistence are furnished
by the government.
The provisions of the volunteer army
bill, which was signed by President Nc
Kinley on Friday, have been watched for
with deep interest by the Maryland militia
men. 1t was feared that State troops when
mustered into the federal service might be
broken up and not permitted to go out as
organizations, under their own officers.
The purpose is to retain existing State
organizations whenever possible.
While the bill deals in general way
with volunteers, it is expected that the first
call for troops will bring out only the
militia of the various States, and its pro-
visions are framed especially to meet the
expectations of the National Guardsmen.
The volunteer army is to consist of able
bodied men between the ages eighteen and
fortytve years.
1t is to be called out only during the
imminence or existence of war.
Enlistments are to be for two years
should the war continue shat long. Other
wise the enlstments will terminate with
the war.
The volunteer army is to be subject to
all the laws and regulations governing the
regular army.
It is provided that State military COM
mands may volunteer by organizations and
20 into service intact.

PAY OF SOLDIERS.
Volunteers are Given the Same Comnen-
SatiOn as United States Repu,,rs

Volunteers, when mustered into govern
ment service, will receive the same nav as
United States regulars.
The pay of the Maryland militia, when
in the active service of the State, is fixed
by statute, and up to the grade of second
lieutenant is more than is allowed by the
national government. The State pays its
men, when in service, at the following
rate: Privates, 81 a day; corporals, $3.50 a
day; sergeants, $1.75. From the rank of
second lieutenant up the pay is the same
as in the regular army.
The national government pays for in

Base ball and tennis have as yet to be
revived in Elkton. AS to the former sport
it does seem as though the only enthusiasts
will be the boys of the Elkton High School
who will likely get together on the dia-
mond. Last season Charlie Evans organ
lied creditable team and it is hoped he
will again stir up things. And as to tennis
the Elkton Tennis Club seems to have
passed away with the fading of the last
season. 1t is likely, though that the old
courts on East Main street will be again
tenanted. Charlie Tull, Dick Reese, Henry
Constable and lots of others are too fond of
the game not to take hand this season.
