Last Nights Entertainments.
The beginning of the farewell to the
boys In blue began last night, when the
management of the Margaret theater
extended an invitation to all the MEM
bers. through the captains of both
volunteer companies. The attraction
was the Trans-Oceanic specialties, and
the soldiers. who filed a large portion
Of the Margaret, thoroughly enjoyed
the play.
The soldiers were especially enthusi-
astic over the projected views of mill
tary parades. the march of the marines,
the battleship Maine. The views closed
with the projection of the flag of Cuba
Libre. n lastly Old Glory was thrown
upon the canvas, which set the whole
house wild.
The orchestra played a number of ma
tional airs. such as Marching Through
Georgia" The Star Spangled Banner
etc. and the selections were wildly
cheered. Two banjo artists played
Yankee Doodle" and they were en-
cored at least half a dozen times.
The soldiers mached to the theater in
a body and filed through the doors in
true military style. After the perform
ance the volunteers again formed in
line and marched to the Auditorium,
where a farewell ball was rendered
them. The dancing was continued until
a late hour. and the boys will leave
Anaconda with the impression that they
were well and royalty hidden farewell.
Yes,erday's Proceeding.
Yesterday both companies were drill
ing as hard and harder than ever. Both
companies We're out in full force, and
Company l. was provided with a drum
corps. The crowds that lined the streets
and crowded the sidewalks along the
line of the marches were so dense that
people who wanted to pass had to go
around by a side street. Company L
drilled in almost every street in the
city. as did also Company X. Both
companies were heartily cheered as they
passed.
Last evening the knights of Pythias,
Uniformed Rank. also drilled in the
open air. The handsomely costumed
citizen-soldiers were applauded and
cheered as they passed. The knights
will be one of the handsomest bodies of
men in the parade to-day.
The captains and officers OF the two
volunteer companies were kept on the
jump all day In arranging the thousand
and one details which have to be at
tended to in order that nothing shall be
left behind when the move begins.
Last night the soldiers. before going
to the theater, called upon their friends
and bade them goodbye. Some of the
scenes at parting were sad in the ex-
IRENE. Especially was this so in cases
where the men leave families and
sweethearts behind them.
Commander Of the Grand Army T. c..
Davidson last night made an address
to the soldiers. The address was not
long. but it aroused the spirit of the
men to the highest pitch. and every
word that h veteran soldier uttered
was received with re-echoing cheers.
Mr.. Davidson looked the grand cid a
as he stood b~areheaded in the street.
his snow-white hair and beard waving
in the breeze, and the rugged young SOL
diers crowding about him.
He said hat he addressed them be-
cause the opportunity would be the last
he should have of bidding them good
bye, as he was called away to the en-
campment of the G. A. r. at Missoula.
He gave the young volunteers some
sound words of advice. telling them TO
obey the instructions of their superior
officers n always be ready to lend a
helping hand to a comrade in distress.
He was sure that the volunteers would
do Anaconda proud and he assured
them every man, woman and child in
Anaconda would watch with anxiety
any word that came from them, and
the people would be ready to cheer
every good deed.
