ARRIVE SAFELY.
High School Cadets Established in
Camp NaiIor.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
OCEAN VIEW, Va, July THE pro-
visional organization of High School Ca
diets arrived here yesterday without mis-
hap, and at once went into camp. This was
simple matter, as the advance guard had
looked after all preliminaries and arranged
necessary details. The day was spent in
the settling down process. The trip from
Washington on the Norfolk steamer was
thoroughly enjoyed, with no more unusual
incident than the loss overheard of several
campaign hats.
The company of cadets departed from
Washington on the Norfolk steamer at 80
p. m Wednesday, according to the pro-
gram announced in The Star. About fifty
young soldiers were in the party. They
We're somewhat disappointed to learn at
the last moment that it would be impossi-
bic to secure the use of rifles during the
outing. Capt. j. B. Robertson was in COM
mand, with A. S. Weaver as first lieuten-
ant and NJ. E. Weaver as second lieutenant
Gen. Harries, commanding the District
OF Columbia militia, aided the boys to the
extent of his ability, placing a room In the
National Guard armory at their DISPOSAL
for meetings and drill purposes He was
powerless to supply them with rifles, how
ever, 1t being outside his province to loan
the United States property for which he
is responsible.
No application for assistance in the direc-
ton indicated was made to the board of
public school trustees. 1t is stated that
that body would not have been warranted
in loantng the High School armament, for
the reason that, the school year having
closed, the cadets who have gone to camp
have absolutely no connection with the
school. the jaunt being entirely of an in
dependent character
A violent thunder storm visited the camp
yesterday about $50 o'clock. The head
quarters tent and officers mess tent wera
blown down by the gale Rain fell in tor
rents, flooding the company streets, but no
damage done. Cadets all well and
pleased with everything. Guard mount to-
day was witnessed by a large, admiring
crowd.

received printed slips giving a list of the
articles supplied, with instructions to keep
account of every article used. On the same
slips were attendance blanks the children
keeping their own records. Another blank
is used in keeping a list of the books read
during the term, in and out of school. A
reference to this list refresheS and keeps
in mind the tales read. Stories of nature
of birds and animals and flowers are more
popular than lighter fiction and fairy tales.
The Discipline.
The question of discipline would seem
difficult one, as the pupils have either never
been to school, or have been governed by
the disciplinary methods of dozen or more
different teachers. Mr.. Riordon solved it
nicely by letting the children govern them
selves a scheme which has so far proved
eminently satisfactory Mr.. Riordon never
scolds, and his kindness has never yet been
taken advantage of.
The teachers services are entirely Volun-
tary, and they are receiving no remunera-
ton. AS was stated, the school Is entirely
an experimental one, the methods employed
being the same. Prof. Alex. Stuart, the
supervising principal, is deeply interested in
the effort and is sure of its success. Its
scope and benefit to the community are
apparent without comment.
The school library is in charge of one OF
the little girls, Miss Corinne Arnold.
In having a number of teachers, who give
lessons occasionally, the pupils never tire of
the same master, and at the same time have
the benefit of diversified views and learning.

number of Westinghouse came here
Saturday to enjoy the scenery and catch
bass. Some fine fish have been taken
from the water during the past week. One
of the most successful anglers was Mr. n.
c. Hayser, deputy clerk of the Police Court.
While the string of fish landed by him was
not long the fish were large. One of them
weighed nearly three pounds and was
caught near the fishway at what is known
as Catfish Hole"
Mr.. II. c. Coburn is the king fisherman
of the season. The fish he caught some
time ago weighed about five pounds. He
spends considerable time in this section
and is one of the most successful anglers
who visits here.
Messrs Joseph Hunter, Jules Demonet
and Walter Fry returned home Saturday
afternoon after a visit here of two days.
They took with them forty-nine fish,
number of them weighing nearly three
pounds each.
Leonard Egloff is another Washingtonian
who makes successful trips here. He sell
dom goes home without good string of
bass. He spent Sunday on the river, with
his usual good luck. Mr.. Eglof's success
is in his selection of bait, as well as in his
ability as an angler. Knowing that bait is
not always easily obtained here, he always
brings a supply of all kinds with him.
Jack Stevens, a Baltimore man, landed
nineteen good fish here one day last week.
1t was his first visit to the falls, and he was
very much pleased over his success.
Jim Trumbull. native of the county. re-

bass in one day. Carl -Blaubeck, the hotel
clerk, boasts that he is the best fisherman
that ever came over the conduit. When he
wants a string of fish he sends number of
boys out, and then comes in with the COM
bined catch. Friends of Carl declare that
silver is his only bait.

Another thing which is interesting the
people here Is the gossip about the electric
road extension. Now that the Great Falls
line has been bought by the syndicate, its
early extension is looked for. Surveyors
have been working here recently, but for
just what purpose is not known. Some say
it is in the interest of the railroad, and
others have 1t that they were employed by
people interested in utilizing the water
power here for the benefit of the people of

The Recent Yellow Fever Victim Pre-
vented Bloody Battle in Forto Rico.

From today's Philadelphia Press
The death of Lieutenant Mclaughlin of
the Signal Corps, who died of yellow fever
at Santiago, recalls a dramatic incident in
which he was one of the principal actors,
during the campaign in Porto Rico.
Lieutenant Mclaughlin had charge of a
squad which built telegraph lire along the
route of the American advance on the night
of August II. The Signal Corps men could
not keep pace with the advance of the in
fantry and artillery, in command of Gen.
Brooke. and when the latter faced line
of Spanish intrenchments the telegraph line
was two miles in the rear.
At l o'clock of August 13 the message
came to Lieutenant McLaughlin's station
that the peace protocol had been signed
There was no way to get to Brooke but
ride 1t, and the lieutenant, accompanied by
an orderly, started to make the trip Mount
ing his horse, he started al a gallop, and
his ride will go down in history as one of
the most dramatic ever made on a field of
battle.
When he reached the lines Of infantry
mat We're supporting the artillery he was
tod that the guns were about to open fire
on the enemy, and, realizing that he had
to be quick or the battle would begin, and
knowing the consequences of such action
after the protocol had been signed, he sank
MS spurs into the horse and went on, leav-
ing his orderly, who was mounted on a
mule. far in the rear
Still on he Went and before half-past /
O'Clock he reached the artillery battalion
and found General Brooke standing beside
one of Battery BIS guns while the gunner
had his hand on the lanyard ready to pull
The message was delivered, the firing
prevented and what might have been a ter
rible battle stopped.
After the campaign closed In Porto Rico
Lieutenant Mclaughlin was sent to Cuba
anu was In service there until his death.

Gen. j, A, Walkers Trial

The trial of Gen. James A. Walker at
Bristol, Tenn, for the shooting of Lawyer
Hamilton progressed slowly yesterday. A
number of witnesses for the defense were
examined, and their testimony was largely
directed to showing that it had been found
necessary by Walkers friends to advise
him to go armed, as threats had been made
against him. One witness testified that
Hamilton had said he intended to provoke
Walker into a row and then thrash him
good" The defense introduced what pur-
ported to be a copy of a note warning
Walker not to go to the court house on the
night of the shooting. The case will prob
ably not go to the jury before tomorrow.

4 WOnnan's Face.
PLEASANT FEATURES lDD TO HER ATTRACTIONS
This is Something all Women Can Have OF Easily Acquire
Simple Rules to Observe.
nom the Herald, New Hamps0n, No.

The look in woman's face is expressive
of what she is. One can easily tell whether
she is healthy, wealthy, happy or sickly
Nothing adds more to a woman's attractions
than pleasant face and this is something
all can have or easily acquire. It's simply
obtained by cleanliness, air, light, diet, exer.
else.
Many a woman is continually cross, mo-
rose, weak, nervous, ailing; made so by the
exactions of household cares or the condi-
ditions incident to her sex. But back of this
and the cause of all the trouble, will be
found that the system is out of order; the
blood needs toning up. When this is done
there follows, buoyancy of feeling, and a
merry household.
The preservation of woman's graces and
charms requires care and common sense, but
nomore than is bestowed upon her fine laces,
bric-a-brac, etc. The good wife keeps the
silver from tarnish, but neglects herself.
Every woman desires to be a picture of
health and she can be, for it is only mat
ter of health, rather than regular features or
perfect proportions, for without the vitality
of good spirits which good health denotes, no
woman is charming.
Many woman is regretfully watching the
growing pallor of her cheeks, the coming
wrinkles, the thinness that becomes more
distressing every day. The best way to over
come this and acquire the pleasant look in a
woman's face is expressed in the following
story told by Mrs. A. Fox, an esteemed resi-.
dent of New Hampton, Mo.
Three years ago last April, she says,
had stomach trouble and afterwards female
troubles set in. | had very little appetite,

The Magic of Rome.

The story of Rome is a tale of muir
der and sudden death, varied, chang
ing, never repeated in the same way;
there is blood on every threshold; a
tragedy lies buried in every church and
chapel, and again we ask in vain
wherein lies the magic of the city that
has fed on terror and grown old in
carnage, the charm that draws men to
her, the power that holds, the magic
that enthralls men soul and body, as
Lady Venus cast her spells upon Tam
hauser in her mountain of old. Yet
none deny it, and as centuries roll on
the poets, the men of letters, the must
clans, the artists Of all ages, have come
to her from far countries and have
dwelt here while they might, some for
long years, some for the few months
they could spare, and all of them have
left something, verse, line sketch,
a song that breathes the threefold mys-
terry of love, eternity and DEATH
