OUR TRAINED SOLDIERS.
Company Fs Exhibition Drill on
Wednesday Evening.

On Wednesday evening of this week
Inc public will have the opportunity of
seeing to what extent the volunteers of
Company F, Sixth Infantry, have i'm
proved in their military training in the
several months during which they have
been under arms in the service of the
Government.
On that evening the members of
the company, who are now enjoying
months furlough in their old home, will
give an exhibition drill at the New Pa
vilion for the benefit of the Sisters of
Mercy and as preliminary to the fair
TO be held this week for the same pur-
pose. An admission fee Of twenty five
cents will be charged. 1t is small, but
with a large attendance the receipts
will materially swell the proceeds of the

was always a very efficient body and
its drills were very interesting. But it
is said the men have greatly improved
during their summers sojourn in camp
at Santa Cruz and at the Presidio, and
are credited with being the best drilled
Of all the volunteer companies in the
great camp at the latter place.
The company has been we'll differed
and the men have had the benefit Of
the best of instruction. Captain Lucey
is no longer their commander, having
recently resigned the Captaincy to ac-
cept a position as Lieutenant in one of
the companies detailed for duty in the
Philippine Islands. The command of
the company has therefore fallen upon
Lieutenant John L. Hughes, who has
for years been prominently identified
with the National Guard companies
here. He is very proficient in military
tactics, as are all the officers of the
company, and a very interesting exhi-
bition is promised.
There is ample room in the great ex-
position building for company evolu
tions. with excellent facilities for a
large audience to witness every move
made by the men. Excellent music
will be provided by Neale's Band on
the evening of the drill, and there will

A ROYAL Home-Maker.

The tact and power of Queen Louise
of Denmark was shown in her ability
to make all her royal sons-in-law her
friends, and her home the domestic
fireside to which they all fiocked. Alex
ander III. is said never to have missed
a summer with her. and never to have
been so happy as while under her roof
The Princess of Wales went home to
her every year All the children and
grandchildren gathered about the
Queen. Only the other day the Duke
of Yorks eldest son, her great-grand-
child, and one day, if he lives, to be
King of England. was carried there for
a visit. Her influence, however, was
not confined to these holiday times. She
wrote once a week to Alexander Ill,
while he lived. and consulted with him
on affairs of state. She was always on
the side of peace, and many world
tragedies are said to- have been averted
in the family councils at Fredensborg.
Only rare woman could have accom-
plished SO much, and one who. though
a Queen, understood SO well the value
of the home. The wonder is that the
restless and ambitious should so often
deny to the freside a value which a
royal head has proved to us all. That
a Queen should set US one of the noblest
examples of home making which we

COMPANY G.
Preparations in Progress for It's
Coming Annual Ball

A week from tonight Company G,
Second Infantry, will give it's annual
ball at Armory Hall, for which the vet
eran National Guardsmen are making
great preparations.
Company G has been organized for
twenty-eight years, and it is not the
fault Of its members that they We're
not among the first volunteers sent to
Manila to battle for their country, as
they offered their services early in the
war.
The men have, however, maintained
their organization and kept themselves
in training for any possible emergency.
This involves more or less expense to
the members, and the public should
show its appreciation of their patriot
ism and self-sacrificing efforts by lib
orally patronizing the company's an
nual ball.

tells the story of a young Cuban who
has been confined in a Spanish prison,
and the love of an American naval Off

FIRE.PR0OF WOOD
 YET TO BE USED
Secretary Long Directs That Battle-Ships Be Built Ac-
 cording to Contract
This Material to Be Employed In Joiner Work, as Provided m the
 Specifications.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special DiSpatcn tO 1Ho Sdil'
 NEW YORK, Jan. IA Washington special to the Herald says: Secretary Long has directed that the specifications for the construction of the battleships Kearsarge, Kentucky, Alabama, Wiscon- sin and Illinois, providing for the build ing of the joiner work with fire-proof wood be carried out. This comprises over two-thirds of the woodwork in the ves- sels named.
 The Secretary says that after careruI consideration of the advantages derived from the use of electro fire-proof wood on naval vessels it is decided that no electro fire-proof wood shall be hereafter used for the decking of naval vessels, as the advantages that might be derived from the use of such wood are incommen- surate with the cost of the same, and that it's use on torpedo-boatS now under construction be discontinued, as there IS so little woodwork on them, but that electro fire-proof wood shall be used in all joiner work of the new battleSh1pS as provided in the specifications accompany ing the contract therefor, as the adVan- purposes would seem to justify the in- creased cost incident thereto.
 It was officially announced at the Navy Department to-day that Civil Engineer A. G. Menocal had been ordered to return to New York and report his arrival to the department by telegraph. It is ex- pected at the department that Menocal will return to the United States within the next ten days.
 Chief Engineer Kirby has been trans ferred from the Baltimore to the hospital in San Francisco.

house. Thursday evening about 6 o'clock Raeside again visited the sa- loon and said to Collins: T don't for get a favor, it's your turn to drink with me" He told Collins he had made a good winning that day, in proof of which he displayed $10 or SIP in silver and about $50 in gold. He stated that he was coming to San Francisco to pay bill of $10 he owed, and promised the barkeeper 10 let him in on a good thing" at the track in a few days. "I have taken a liking to you" said Raeside, "and I will give you a good thing next week. I am no tout and only try to help my friends out"
 He said further that he had left $9S0 with the bookmakers, that he never took his money away and never let the toutS know he had any, for some of them would rob a man for 50 cents.
 Collins said Raeside had taken few drinks, but was by no means intoxi- cated He left the saloon at 7:10 o'clock to catch the train for San Fran cisco.
 Dr. Porter was recalled and testified that from measurements he had taken of the body he judged Raeside to have been feet or 10 inches in height. He had also measured the space be- tween the rails of a standard gauge track, and it was his opinion that the body had lain across the rails and the wheels had passed over his head and the legs below the knees. The broken ribs he accounted for by the body be- ing caught and rolled under the en- zine.

thorities will sift the matter to the bot tom.
 Raeside has been a familiar figure on the local tracks for some time. He was a Scotchman by birth, and at one time was possessed of considerable funds, but of late he has been at the bottom of the ladder, and finally was compelled to accept position as rub Der for Capp, the owner of Ricardo.
 That RaeSide was well connected was shown by his speech and manners. He was also thirty-second degree Mason and a Knight Templar, being a mem- Der of the Waukeegan, H., Command cry, which body has ordered a thor ough investigation into the cause of his death. The same authority ordered the remains shipped to that place Sunday night for burial.
 Coroner Baldwin has traced with considerable accuracy the movements of Raeside on the day of his death. It is known positively that he won something like $1200 on the races that day, and after finishing his work at the track went to Oakland and after ward came to this city.
 Some of his movements were told to the Coroner's jury at Saturday nights hearing, but new and important evi- dence was brought out last night James Collins, a barkeeper at Earls saloon on Thirteenth street, near Washington, testified that Raeside went into his place about ten days ago and called for a drink, placing a dime on the bar in payment. Collins knew Raeside was not flush with money, and told him to have drink with the

 THROWN INTO PANIC.
4 Prankish Soy, Dressed as the Devil, Plays Trick that May Have Serious
 Results

CHICAGO, Jan. TIA special to the Times-Herald from Bourbon, Ind, says: Rev. MT. Akin, pastor of the flock of Bethel Church, on Sunday took for his theme His Satanic Majesty" He Is an eloquent man and he painted the arch fiend in vivid colors. At the climax of the description a being dressed to repre- sent the devil, with large head and switching tail, ambled up the aisle, blow ing smoke from his nostrils and below ing:
 "I am the devil and I want all of you"
 The audience became panic-stricken. Men women and children were hurled to the floor and trampled upon in the mad rush for the door. In the confusion the stove was upset and the building caught fire. Before the mortified members had regained their senses the fire had made such headway that all attempts to save the church were in vain.
 This morning George Akin, son of the pastor, confessed that he. in company with other boys, rigged up a devil suit, and knowing the subject of his fathers sermon concealed himself behind a chair and awaited the arrival of the audience.
