The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-07-12

There Is a good deal OF skepticism in
the ranks OF the men OF the two bat
teries now at Quonset Point. and this
is not surprising when the many unful-
filled promises of the war department
are taken into consideration. The time
finally set for the equipment Of the bat
teries with guns and horses was set
for July Is. which will be on Friday
next. but there are no indications so
far at the camp that anything Is to be
done In that direction. at least for the
present. n
However, the men are losing no time,
and the batteries are going through
the dismounted drill. estimating dis
tances. and performing air the different
portions of the drills that can be per-
formed without fhe horses. The off,
GERS and men are still hoping that the
day will come when they will be or
dered TO so to the front, or some other
point other than Quonset Point but as
the days passed the hope becomes
fainter and fainter. They are OF the
opinion that the war department has
forgotten that the batteries are In ex-
jstence.
The men of Troop A, First Battalion
Cavalry, Capt. Jones, are doing excel
lent work as a camp guard, although
necessarily owing to the small number
OF men In the command the work comes
quite heavily upon those few. While
the number OF posts has been reduced.
IL IL not an easy task for the boys to
look after the work which they are sup
posed TO do. They really look after the
state property almost exclusively. the
object OF having the guard not being
TO look after the men in the batteries,
where guards are posted, anyway.

In Rhode Island the six-gun batteries

The most remarkable thing about Mrs.
Nellie J. Lord, Of Stafford Corner, N. H.,
is that she is alive to-day.
No one, perhaps, is more surprised at
this than Mrs. Lord herself. She looks back
at the day when she stood on the verge of
death and shudders. She looks ahead at
lite OF happiness with her children, her hus-
band and her home with joy that only
mothe- can realize.
Mrs. LORD IS the mother of three children,
two OF whon!! are twins; until the twins
came nothing rnarred the Joy Of her life.
Then she was attacked with heart failure
and ior year was unable to attend to the
ordinary duties Of the homo. In describing
her own experience Mrs. Lord says:
