IN EXTENDED ORDER DRILL.
Cadets VIII Appear Before officers of
the Court Martial.


The extended order drill of the Savannah
Cadets will be held Tuesday afternoon on
the parade ground at $50 O'Clock. This
drill VIII be before number of the officers
of the Carter court martial
When the Cadets drilled with the other
Commands OF the regiment on Washing
TONS birthday their admirable appearance
excited comment among the army Of
hcers. One of them asked Capt Jordan
f. Brooks if the company would not give
an extended order drill while the court
was in the city.
Capt. Brooks replied that he would sub.
init the matter to his men, as he did not
feel that he could speak for them, thciI
business engagements being such as often
to render il impossible for some to take
part in such an affair. When he spoke
to the company about it. the men fell In
with the idea, and expressed a desire to
appear before the officers and have them
give their judgment upon the drill and
make suggestions that would be found
valuable.
This Is the season when Capt. Brooks
makes 1t a point, anyway to brush up
his men in the drill of the extended order,
so the practice incident to the appearance
of the company before officers of the reg
ular army would not come in amiss, but
would be In the nature of training in the
usual way. Since the matter was laid be-
fore the company several drills have been
had, and the men have the thing down in
fine shape.
No company of the Savannah troops
could have been selected that would show
to better advantage in such a drill The
Cadets are universally acknowledged to
be the crack company when it comes 10
drilling and making a fine appearance i'm
numbers and physiques. When they drill
before the officers, after having made spe-
cial preparations, it may be safely said
that the effect will not be far from that
produced when a company of regulars
puts up an exhibition drill

Why Some Men Are Famous.
From the New York Press.

FROM the New YORK PreSS.
To be famous nowadays is about the
same as being notorious, yet that is sl-
most too harsh term. Freddie Gebhard's
long pursuit of Mrs. Langtry gave him
worldwide reputation. Howard Gould is
heralded everywhere as Little Brother
enamored of Katherine Clemmons. No
one ever looks at Ned Stokes without
thinking of Josie Mansfield. Willie x.
Vanderbilt added largely to his laurels by
a brief liaison with Nellie Neustretter.
Howell Osborn became noted in Paris,
London and New York for his devotion to
Fay Templeton. Stephen Crane added to
his bank account and his literary value
by defending a waif of the Tenderloin.
David Belasco became a great playwright
by pounding Mrs. Leslie Carter nearly TO
death. De Wolf Hopper and Nat Good
win are more renowned as Divorces than
actors. Frank Ehret cannot keep his
hands off an actress to save his life. Only
George Gould's vast wealth prevents him
from being spoken of as the husband of
Edith Kingdom"

worth; more often than she makes the fell

An Arab Proverb with a Point.

From the Cairo (EgypO Sprinx.
Who can affirm that the mule entered
the jug?
This proverb is frequently quoted to
show that though one may conscien-
tiously believe in a thing which may seem
extravagant in itself, it is better not TO
repeat it from fear of being disbelieved.
1t arises from the following Arabic le-
gend: An Arab who denied the existence
of genii bought mule and took ID home
When performing his evening ablutions
he saw the mule enter a jug, and this
so scared him that he ran shouting to the
neighbors and told them what he had seen (;
they, thinking him mad. endeavored to
appease him. but all in vain; he vocifer-
ated more and more, so that the authori-
ties sent him TO the madhouse. When the
doctor came to see him he repeated the
account of what he had seen, whereupon
the doctor ordered him TO be detained. He
continued, upon each visit of the doctor.
to repeat his statement until his friends
succeeded In persuading him that if he
wished TO regain his freedom, ne must
recant; this he did, and the doctor set
him al liberty, to the great joy of his
family and friends. On making his ablu-
tions as before he again saw the mule
this time peeping out of the jug, but on
this occasion he contented himself with re-
marking TO the mule "Oh, yes / see YOU
well enough, but who would believe me?
And have had enough OF the madhouse.
Needless TO say that the genii, to avenge
themselves for his disbelief in them. had
transformed one of themselves into a mule
and as such entered the jug.
