Pleasantly Situated.

Prepared to proceed anywhere on an
hours notice, the regiment may be said to
be pleasantly situated here at Tampa. On
the superstition that departure from the
shores of the United States was to occur
ere this, shelter tents-commonly called
dog or pup tents-were pitched, the
standard canvas being made ready for i'm
mediate shipment.
Say what you may, dog tents are not as
comfortable as they might be. The camp is
located in the sand, within fifty yards from
the shores of Tampa bay, and practically the
city limits. 1t requires a walk of only five
minutes to reach the business center of
Tampa. Shelter tents extend as far as the
eye can reach, and at night, with candles
burning within, the scene is decidedly at
tractive. At reveille in the morning the
camp resembles an immense bee hive, as
the soldiers crawl from their little canvas
abodes. There Is an abundance of drink
ing water, with the Gulf of Maxico for bath
ing purposes and other desirable features,
but very little shade. All in all, the camp
at Tampa is decidedly more satisfactory
than that vacated week ago at Chicka-
manga.

isn't this glorious day?" remarked an
officer of the LIST Regiment of Infantry,
District of Columbia Volunteers, few mo-
mentS ago. His face was beaming. The
reference was not to the weather. The
officers expression was due solely to the
fact that the paymaster was in camp.
Further than that the important individual
was doing business, assisted by his clerk.

established his headquarters in this tent,
and opening the safe, piled a table high
with packages Of notes and piles of coin.
In less than five minutes twelve companies,

in line near the tent as was possible.
Col. Harries and the officers of the regi-
mental and battalion field and staff were
first paid. The regimertal roE-comms-
stoned staff was next in line.
Then followed the companies in the order
of seniority of the captains. Each captain
called his men to the tent in alphabetical
order. The money was first counted by the
paymaSter, next by his clerk after which
it was handed to the recipient. The paying
off consumed several hours, the pay being
only to cover the time from the date of
muster-in to May 81 After receiving their
money many of the officers fastened away
to send remittances home and settle obli-
cations. The wish of all is that the next
pay day may not delay unnecessarily in
reaching the 1st District of Columbia Regi-
ment, wherever it may chance TO be.

The people of the old countries are not xiven

The people of the old countries are not given,
to travel like the Americans; they cannot
afford 1t, and very seldom 60 ten miles away
from their homes. They consequently live
int little world Of their own. Here In
America the daily papers keep people post
ed on all kinds of topics and happenings in
the world, from a dog fight to the latest
discoveries In science, regardless of any
governmental sentiments; but in Europe
few editors would dare to publish anything
against the sentiment of the government.
Here in America literature actually flows
so to say. into the hands Of the people:
they simply can't help being well informed.
NO one Is too poor or too busy to read at
Ieast the daily papers. And that is why
the Americans stand head and shoulders in
knowledge above any other nation on the
face Of the earth. With his poor brother
in Europe 1t is different; to him literature
is luxury too expensive for his means in
many cases. The ambitious poorer families
club together and keep journal or daily
paper But in many cases these daily pa
pers are simply mere excuses for such and
furnish their readers but meager informa-
ton on any topic. So that II the French
people are really hostile to the Americans
under the present circumstances 1t is be-
cause they are not informed of the true
state Of affairs. A EUROPEAN.

No Negroes in Blackwell

Guthrie, Ok-Blackwell, in Kay county,
claiming O population of 1900, is a town
without a single negro inhabltant. The
ant.pathy to negro citizens began as Joke.
In the early days the rough element had
things pretty much its own way, and when
a negro came to. town he was made to be-
lieve that death was matter of only few
hours If he should remain. The jokers
had their fun when the negro began his race
against time to get away. Notwithstanding
the fact that majority of Blackwell's cit
!zens came from Kansas, state not intol-
Grant of negroes, the joking grew more fire.
auent, and gradually a sentiment developed
that negroes were not wanted In Blackwell.
Opposition to this feeling caused a clash
which came near resulting in pitched bat
tie about two months ago, when Col. Black
we'll undertook to co.onize negroes In the
town. The negroes were told TO leave, but
they refused, relying upon the protection
of Col. Blackwell. An explosion Of dyna-
mite that tore away part of Col. Blackwell's
barn showed that the anti-negro clement
had passed from joking to earnest. The
outrage was investigated by the grand jury,
but nothing was done. The negro colony
sought employment, but could not get it.
Persons who showed willingness to hire
negroes were threatened with boycott.
The negroes were practically starved out
and left one by ore.
The story Of the danger to negroes al
Blackwell spread and negro employees of
theatrical companies now remain at the
depot in preference to running what they
imagine would be a gauntlet Of death by
going up town. The scare IS largely mag
mary, but none the less effective.

CAPACITY of Rapid Fire Guns

rapid or quick firing" guns are
frequently referred to at this time, but few
laymen really appreciate the meaning OF
the term, as contrasted with the "slow-fre"
breech-,oader.. The distinction is not ono
of size, for the rapd-hre system has ex-
tended from one-pounder projectiles to
fcur-inch, five-inch and six-inch guns,
throwing 80, 10 and 100 pound shot or shell.
The essential difference Is in the method Of
loading. Instead Of opening the breech and
inserting the projectiie and the powder sep
arately, the latter In bunting bag, am
munition for rapid-fire guns is now pre-
pared as for small arms, the ball, powder
and metallic primer are united; the powder
