On Tuesday evening last the Christian
Endeavor Society of the Gunton Tenn
pie Church gave a lawn social at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Samuel Snow, Fourteenth
Street extended. Quite a large number
of the young people of the society and
church were present and were most de-
lghtfully entertained until late hour.
The spacious grounds were given UP
entirely to the use of the young people
and furnished ample room for varied
forms of amusement. The many colored
and delicate rays from the profusion of
Chinese lanterns, distributed among the
trees and shrubbery added much to the
natural beauties of the scene. Swings,
hammocks, settees, sea-saws and other
amusements were attractions that were
by means to be despised.
Messrs. Saunders. Wright and Mizzy
played several selections on the mando-
lin, guitar and banjo Miss Jue II. Brock
EFT recited Jennie and When Father
Carved the Duck" which called forth
much applause. Miss Louise Hosier re-
cited piece descriptive of the joys and
SORROWS of a colored courIship. After a
piano solo by Miss Andrus refreshments
were served.
A majority of the young people finally
adjourned to the parlors and soon the
strains of old familiar college songs were
to be heard. Old and young alike took
hand. each trying to outdo his fellow. and
the distant hills of Rock Creek Park sent
back the echo.

are rapidly being prepared for use in

have her ready for fighting by the end

On Saturday afternoon the Pensacola
was placed in commission with Captain
Henry Glass in command. She has only
working crew at present. The reason
for placing the ship in commission at
this time is that she is TO be used as
quarters for large detachment of ma
rineS who will be removed from the
marine barracks in order to make room
there for temporary hospital. Since
the earthquake wrecked the dwellings
on Mare Island, Captain Glass and sew

WORKS OF PEACE RESUMED
LIFE AT FORT DOUGLAS AGAIN
RUNS IN USUAL CHANNEL.
The Soldiers, However, Are Ready to
Move, But Don't Expect the Order
Very Soon-A Detachment Will Be
Left If the Main Body Moves.

At Fort Douglas all is quiet and the
works of peace have been started
again. A large force of men are en-
ployed daily upon the reservoir in Red
Butte canyon, while others are fixing
the target range. The company gar
dens are being put in fine shape. and
many of the seeds have been planted.
Repairs on the officers quarters and
other buildings are being done, and
other necessary improvements are be-
ing made in the general appearance of
the post Baseball teams have been
organized among the soldiers. and near
~ every day there is game upon the
lower parade ground.
It has been rumored that in case of
a movement of the troops from Fort
Douglas the national guard viii be
placed in charge of the garrison. This
report is denied by the officers at the
post. who state that the fort will be
left in charge of an officer and a de-
tachment of enlisted men selected from
the different companies. As at present
arranged, Lieutenant Dashiell will re-
main in charge of the post, he having
returned to duty from leave of alb
sence.
When asked concerning the probable
movement of the regiment, the officers
say that they hardly expect to leave
very soon. Nevertheless. they are
ready to go when the order comes. So
far no new instructions have been re-
ceived from Washington regarding the
movement of the regiment. Everything
at the post is in the same state as it
was after the receipt of the order to be
prepared to move. But this long delay
has awakened new hopes in the breasts
of the officers wives, and they now
wear smiles upon their faces. hoping
that perhaps the troops will not be
called out. after all.
