Rumor in the Camp.

1t is is reported at Camp Leedy that the
three volunteer regiments will not be sent
to Leavenworth to be equipped. The sup

has been thought that the men would be
sent there to be equipped, but the present
supposition is that they will be equipped
here and sent directly to their different
stations.

CURRENT EVENTS

AID NEEDED TO HELP THE POOR
A steady Demand for Clothing and
Food-E1fcnsiye Operations In
the Real Estate Market.

Although Yesterday was the first day OF
the establishment of the branch office ot
the Associated Charities in Georgetown,
there was a steady demand for clothing
and food by the poor of this section OF
the city. The applicants We're mostly
children, being both colored and white
Shoes were the principal articles of cloth
ing in demand. Georgetown has within
her limits the poor as well as the pros
porous. and in order TO make practical the
humane spirit which is generally enter
fained by the well-to-do for the unfor-
tunate, this office Of the Associated Char
ities was opened. This time of the year
is especially hard on the poor, who lack
the means TO procure clothing and fuel,
and the formal opening yesterday of this
worthy charity Is considered by those in
icrested in charitable works TO be very
seasonable.
Every case is looked into quietly. I'M
posters are not fed or clothed. Only the
worthy receive recognition. Every case
is thoroughly investigated. There is no
unusual distress in town, Yet there are
more than enough cases presenting them
selves to threaten the absorption of the
society's stock of necessities on hand for
distribution. Therefore the public is ap-
pealed to. The cast-on clothing Of the
prosperous furnish comfort TO the poor.

the suffering in town this year there is
an unusual amount Of sickness. Typhoid,
scarlet fever and diphtheria cards are
conspicuous in the poorer sections. These
Affections bring additional anXisties. The
appeal OF the representatives is earnest,
and there is more than q business con-
sideration entertained by its officers.
There is sympathy for the worthy cases.
Those who can, and there are few who
cannot do something, are requested TO
send at once some contributions of small
or substantial value TO the office of the
charity at 1923 Thirty-second Street. No
matter how small the contribution it will
be gratefully received and viii aid the

PNEUMATIC SYSTEM

The various letters and opinions of ma

its of the pneumatic gun carriage appli-
ances which were submitted 10 the Senate
last week by Senator Chanler of the Ma
val Affairs Committee with his resolution
calling for an investigation of the system,
have been printed and are now being cir
culated as Senate Document No. g."
Copies have been sent to the various
friends of the system I'm Washington and
elsewhere, in addition to those for the use
of the committee
The document contains letter from
President c. E. Creecy. of the Pneumatic
Company, to Secretary Long quoting from
the report of the naval board which made
very favorable report on the system
as it is in use on the Terror; letter to
Secretary Long from Chairman H F.
Harrington, former commanding officer
of the Terror recommending that the sys-
TEN be installed on one of the new battle
ships and put into competition with other
systems now in use in the navy; similar
letter to the Secretary from Capt. Nicoll
Ludlow, formerly in command of the Ter
ror, favoring the use of the system in the
navy; an article by Passed Assistant En-
gineer Kincaid, u. S. N, who served On
the Terror, recently published in Cassier's s
Magazine, telling of the great merit of the
system, and a long article published last
year in the New York Sun commencing
the system.
All of these articles and letters we're
written by engineers and naval officers or
by others who are thoroughly familiar
with the practical success of the system
on the Terror. 1t is the confident belief
of the officers of the company that the
document will make most favorable i'm
