Church "a Washington Man.

No one in Washington who knows Sur
geon James Robb Church is at all sur
prised at the receipt of news of most cred
liable bravery on his part during the first
battle of the rough riders on Cuban SOIL
1t was Just what one would expect from a
man of his character and temperament.
Bob Church, as his friends all know
him. is a Washington boy, son OF MI
AlonZo w. Church, librarian of the Sen
ate He graduated from Princeton Uni
versity in the class of 'SS and was one of
the most popular men in his class. He is
a tall man, over six feet in height, and OF
powerful build. He was good deal of an
athlete at college, and since his gradua-
ton has kept up active interest in out
door sports He was well known to foot
ball men in Washington and has refereed
a number of the more important games
played here in the last half dozen years.
After his graduation from Princeton
Church took course in medicine, and
was later for time resident surgeon at
the Emergency Hospital. He spent con-
siderable time in the far west roughing it
in the mountains, and was for short time
connected with a cavalry troop sur
geon. He also visited Europe as surgeon
on transatlantic steamer.
Upon the declaration of war with Spain
DIR. Church secured the position of con-
tract surgeon in the regular army, strong
in the hope that he might be sent to the
front, where he would see fghting-and
take part in it, too. His disappointment
was very keen when he was assigned to
duty at Fort Myer. His friends realized
then that he would soon manage to get
into the thick of it some way. Upon the
organization of Colonel Woods regiment he
offered his services and was appointed one
of the assistant surgeons. He is typical OF
the class of young college men who have
already given such a good account of them
selves. 1t would not be at all surprising

Although the Italians as nation
are rather Indifferent horsemen. the
cavalry of the Italian army has during
the last few years cultivated the art OF
riding horseback to much greater
extent than heretofore. The improve
ment was mainly brought about by
the creation OF the high school OF
equitation for officers Of the army at
Tor di Quinto. This institute has
achieved remarkably results within
the few years of It's existence. or
course, It is n model riding school. as
only such officers of the army who
are already good riders are allowed to
enter. The number is also limited to
one officer from each regiment, and in
return for his instruction an officer
having passed through the course is
compelled to serve as .regimental rid
ing master for one year. In this way
a certain number of exceedingly effi-
cient instructors are secured for the
Italian army, and as a matter of fact
the efficiency OF the mounted soldiery
has cons nsiderably increased within the
last few Years.

1t seems odd that the long centuries
OF progress in human enlightenment
and the great continual advance in
science have had so little effect on the
individual that he is still born with
the same savage, unframed nature, the
same unmodified passions and in
stincts as the aboriginal man OF the
desert or wilderness, and that 1t is only
his surrounding and the circumstances
OF his birth that change him and de-
velop him into n refined, intelligent
being or leave him an untutored saw
