ARMY EXPERIENCES.

The Spaniards seem to think that
the Americans lack the qualities of the

War, yet there are few things more
surprising than the readiness with
which the American volunteer accept

the first and also one of the hardest
lessons an enlisted man in volunteer
army has to learn is that there is am
arstGcracy of shoulder straps which
is contrary To all his democratic cX-
pcricnces and principles In the last
war. as soon as Sumter was fired on,
patriotic men got together IN compan-
les and elected their own commissioned
officers without realizing all that com

cases, had lived together on the same
social plane. often as intimate friends

NOTED HORSES IN BATTLE.
Steeds That Carried Famous Men in Many
Conflicts OF War.

Horses in war suffer more fatalities
than men. Out of the many thousands
who have given their lives, perishing
in their duty toward their masters.
only few return home to spend their
lives in the ease and honor they de-
serve. One WarhCrSe, however. which
has made a splendid record for himself.
and now has his virtues. name, and
noble deeds engraved on a fitting
tombstone, was the little chestnut the
great Duke of Wellington rode at the
battle of Waterloo. Copenhagen.
named after the capital of Denmark.
from which country and city he came,
was a spirited thoroughbred. standing
fifteen hands high. and $4,000 was the
price paid for him. Copenhagen served
under Wellington during the Spanish
war, and for eighteen hours he carried
his master at Waterloo. After this he
was sent to the dukes home, Strath-
fieldsaye. in England. to take his ease
A member of the Royal academy of
English painters was paid to make
handsome portrait of Copenhagen,
which the duke loved and petted to the
y
faithful horse We're. however sadly en-
Uttered by the teasing of thousands of
curious persons who came to visit him
in his paddock, and his groom would
clip hairs from his tail and name to
sell for a few shillings to the visitors.
When the duke heard of this he put
Copenhagen in a big cage. where he
lived in peace. His funeral was well
attended. and at Strathfieldsaye his
tombstone, ordered by the duke him
self, is still to be seen, in excellent
preservation.
Nine years after the Emperor Napo-
leon died at st. Helena an old white
horse persisted of old age and pneu-

this animal is set up in the Royal Uni

FIRE IN A MODEL FACTORY.
George SaeEmuller,s Establishment nj
Sustains Considerable Damage.

Fire broke out in the model and instru-
ment works of George n. Saegmuller at
Second Street and Maryland Avenue
southwest yesterday afternoon and caused
considerable damage. The blaze started
in the wooden matchmaking room on the
second floor. The smoke poured out n all
directions and several of the Workmen
were nearly suffocated. The carpenter
shop is adjoining, but separated by a
wooden partition. This part of the build
ing soon caught fire and the firemen
found difficulty in getting to it, as they
were compelled to seek a rear entrance
because of the partition.
The flames were soon subdued, but a
number of working models were badly
damaged, and some of the wooden ones
destroyed. Several completed instru-
ments of much value were transferred
to safe lire-proof room on the ground
floor, but the machinery Of the place was
badly damaged by heat and water. Mr..
Sacgmuller said last night that he could
not estimte his loss just yet but was
sure it would be several thousand dol
