Now in the U. S. Service.

The entire regiment is now part Of
the regular service of the United States
for two years at least or the duration Of
the war II IL IL over In less than two
years, and Col. Abbot Will nt once re-
pert to Gen. Merritt that his regiment
has been fully mustered into the service,
but it Is understood that the orders are
not so Immediate as not to permit OF the
troops waiting until they are completely
organized aEa equipped. 1t Is understood
that Company IL Capt. McGill, will DO
the reRimentsl color company, and this
Is quite an honor for the boys fromWoon-
socket.
The weather Is delightful ut the camp,
and the effect Is plainly evident on both
the officers and men, every body going
about their work in cheerful manner.
The officers OF the various companies are
working hard these days to gst their men
into condition which shall reflect credit
not only upon the men themselves tut
also upon their officers. Under the new
system, which went Into eject yesterday,
the few hours drill Is split up into four
periods of one hour each, and this ap.
pearssto give general satisfaction. Gov.
Dyer and Adjt Gen. Saokett visited camp
again yesterday afternoon, and they are
perfectly satisfied with the way every
thing Is progressing.

The Rhode Island regiment OF volun-
teers. raised under the call issued by
President Mckinley. is ready for service
In every particular, In fact, so far ready
chat II the order fer departure arrived to-
dny. there would be nothing to prevent
the regiment under command Of Col.
Abbot ffom leaving tie state early to-
morrow morning. Such q 90 ntingency
is however, not anticipated. and, as was
stated Ia the official order issued yester-
day, the regiment will probably not be
ordered away until Monday next.
Gov. Dyer Is very we'll pleased at the
way matters have progressed since the
first steps were taken to raise the reRi-
ment. and In answer to question as to
how Rhode Island would compare with
other states of the Union In raising troops
he said: s'In my belief Rhode Island Is
the first state of the Union to have any
volunteer regiment mustered into the
service ready for action, and its full
quota. Other states have sent of reGi-
ments 1t Is true, but have heard Of none
yet that are up TO the full quota de-
manded by the war department"
IL is we'll known fact that while Col.
A blot had started with the idea of mus
tering in the companies of his regiment
at the minimum strength allowed by
the war department., that ne subsequently
changed hts mind when he realized there
would bs no difficulty In securing re-
cruits. and every company In the regi-
ment has bsen mustered in at the maxi
mum strength. 1t is, therefore, not sur
prising that Gov. Dyer should have made
tue above statement and be says that
ne should like to see It disproved.
Services rendered.
In addition to having the regiment all
ready for active service, Gov. Dyer, this
afternoon, telegraphed Secretary OF War
Alaer rendering the services OF Battsty
A, Light Artillery, consisting of 100 off,
GERS and man. Whether the services Of
the battery will be accepted IL, OF course,
not known, but there IL no doubt that ths
Rhode Island artiilerists would prove to
be very valuable acquisition for the
regular service.
No orders have yet been received at
headquarters concerning the Naval Re-
serves entering the regular service, and
the men are waiting anxiously for some
thing to come from Washington. III or
ders arrive today or tomorrow the desti-
nation cf the Rhode Island Naval Battal-
Ion will be training ship Constellation,

ment's present purpose Is changed. they

among the greatest successes at swell en-
tertainments these last few weeks. Brown
bread sandwiches are of the Boston
brown variety. These have no filling at
all. but they are rather unique in their
character, being made of brown bread that
is cut extraordinarily thin. and is spread
with fresh butter-butter that has no salt
in it.
Yet another sandwich of the day is the
sandwich. consisting of a thin slice
of cucumber that has been well iced and
prepared with a sauce laid between two
small squares Of buttered bread. This is
the proper sandwich for a green tea table,
and has made the reputation of at least
one New York hostess these last few weeks.
Leberwurst sandwiches have taken the fam
cy of society. too. Leberwurst. it may not
be universally known is a sausage made out
Of goose liver. %truffles. etc.-a great German
delicacy.
The sausage meat is scooped out of the
sausage skin and spread between pieces of
rye bread. No butter Is used. Still an
other popular sandwich is that constructed
out of wheat bread and ran MARINA
lade.
The seasons most curious sandwich. how
ever, Is the angel cake. No bread enters
into this. A slice of angel cake is taken,
split. and the halves spread with butter.
Il is popular and the fashion, but is not
universally regarded as very palatable.

AN %UNGRATEFUL CAD.
Selfish Enough to BE Satisfied With
Being Very Much in Her
Debt.

Yes said a young man about town.
there are 4 number of fellows in good
society who never think OF making any re-
turn for the entertainment given them by
their girl friends. You see. they o nave
to. They are in demand because nice So
ciety fellows are so decidedly scarce. A
girl has to cudgel her brains to think up
enough nice fellows to fill out an evening
party. That's right.
You see the same names Of young fell
lows in the society columns time after
time. Well. it's just because they are the
only ones to be had. And that's the reason
they get careless about returning fayors.
They think to themselves. oh, the girls
can't get along without me. and my pres
ence is sufficient return for all the favors
l GET But they can rest assured thai the
girls don't think so.
Il know one young fellow who has been
the guest Of a certain girl a great many
times: teas. and parties. and dinners, and
all that sort of thing. And one day Ijok-
ingly said to him: Things seem to be get
ting a little confidential for you at Miss

new SOFA CUSHIONS.
Very Unique and Artistic Ideas Are
shown in These Bundles
of RepOSe.

The collecting Of sofa cushions is one of
the passing fads of the moment. 1t is.
however. a fad that gives a good deal
Of pleasure and which can be pursued for
much or little money, Just as the faddist

lar to all college boys who live in rooms.
that thirteen is the lucky number for sofa
cushions.
No window seat of an apartment should
have more or less than thirteen Of these
downy head rests that tuck with such de-
liciouS ease in the nape of ones neck. in
the curve Of ones back or under the sharp
point of the elbow. The best cushions. Of
course. are stuffed with real down and
covered with soft. slippery silk. The most
plaid, in the center of which a little design
must be worked in contrasting f1oSses. A
cushion of pale green plaided in brown and
worked In brown silk is most effective.
A most fetching idea for the cushions of
a window seat is to cover them with ma
tional flags. The flags of England, Ger
many. France, China. and. of course, Old
Glory, all show up well as cushion covers.
The autograph cushion is as old an idea
as the Photographic cushion is new. The
latter is susceptible of infinite variety and
charm. 1t should be made Of squares of
soft colored Silks, on each side of which is
photoed the portrait Of some friend or
even some favorite picture.
A cushion of divinely lovely baby heads
Is charming beyond words to describe. and
the same can be said Of a cushion of ones
best girls. although no young man should
be encouraged to thus cheaper the pure
countenance Of any woman. young or old.
