HigA School Boys Return From High
head.

There was a large crowd on Portland
pier Saturday afternoon to welcome
home the Portland High School Cadets
who have been in camp at High Head,
South Harpswelll, since July 9Th. The
handsome steamer Sebascodegan, which
brought them up, was "A few minutes late,
but as soon as she turned into the upper
harbor and began to meet the other har-
bor boats it was apparent that the cadets
We're on board and We're making things
lively, for the cheering Of the boys could
be heard before the boat reached the
wharf. When alongside the pier they be-
gam to scramble for the wharf. Such a
un-burned, hardy looking set of young
STEERS never returned from d summer
camp. They wore campaign hats and
We're in heavy marching order, and there
wasn't boy in the crow whose face was
not as brown as a berry.
Sergt Harry w. Way, who acted as
quarbernaster of the camp, told a repor-
ter that it was one Of the best camps. he
has attended and Serg5 Way has been
acting as quartermaster at these camps
since 1891 and ought to know what he is
talking about. Among the older persons
who staid in camp with the cadets were
Mr.. Locker Of the school; Capt. Hartnett,
the drillmaster; DIR. II. NJ. Nickerson
and Sergt. Way. The cadets have had
fine weather They have improved the
time in camp with drills and military
instruction, but have also found plenty
of opportunity for boating, bathing, fish
ing and tsamping through the country.
They all had the usual number of funny
anecdotes to relate of their experience I'M
der canvass. Not an accident marred the
outing ana the general opinion seemed to
be that it had been one of the best the
corps hassever enjoyed.
After landing at the dock the ca lets
formed in line and marched to the High
School building to be dismissed headed
by their drum, fife and bugle corps At
the High School there were lout cheers
for all Of those who had been in camp
with them and for the officers.

be employed in the production. The sale
of seats is at Sawyer store, M0nu-
ment square. Tickets can be obtained IN
advance for any performance
THE GEM.
The many theatregoers who are ever
keenIy on the alert for every fresh bit
of theatrical gossip are already familiar
with last winters metropolitan successes,
and therefore viii undoubtedly receive
the announcement of this weeks attrac-
ton at the Gem theatre with more than
ordinary interest. 1t is Sidney Winners
and Walter Vincent's American farce
comedy" A Strangerin a Strange Land. -
It viii be the first production outside of
the original, and George Osbourne, who
scored a great hit as the Indian, will
be seen in his original part of Tam Mo
Nee. Jack Thorndyke, Il young English
man OF good family, has been going the
pace a bit too rapidly in his own country,
so his family sends him to America for
three years stay on ranch. Instead
of going West, Jack is put of at Buffalo,
and there remains, albeit he writes home
lengthy and thrilling tales of ranch life
in which redskins and cowboys figure
largely. All of this is swallowed with
out question by his relatives to whom, as
to many Of our English cousins the
States are q sealed book, and who
know no difference between Buffalo and
Butte. Jacks uncle, Charles Dude y,
discovers the young mans game, and
when Jack is about to return advises him
by letter to bring along a red skin to
back up his stories. The letter miscarries,
and Jack turns up in the first act without
an Indian. When he learns the true
state Of affairs he gets his friend, Arthur
Lowe, who IS in love with his sister
Grace, to masquerade as an abOrigine who
at one time had saved his life. In the
meantime an American patent medicine
promoter appears on the scan3 with a real
Indian to advertise his remedies, and he
IS mistaken ny the family for Jack S
savior. Complications are increased by
the arrival Of a third Indian, in reality q
Scotland Yard detective in disguise and
in search for Lowe After much misun-
derstanding Jack marries Alice Yelling
ton, an American heiress whom he met
on the way to England. Arthur Lowe
marries his sister Grace, and all ends in
q happy denouement.

SAVED HIS LIFE.

Officer Chase was patrolling his beat
on Saturday night when he heard some
one shouting for help down on Conn
mercial wharf. The patrolman ran to the
end of the wharf and found man over
board clinging to Spite. He was very
nearly exhausted when the officer reached
the place and pulled him out. The man
had been drinking and had stepped off
into the dock. He gave his name at
the police station as George Wallace Of
South Windham.

TEN SUNDAY ARRESTS.
Police Had a LiveIier Day Than
Usual.

The police made quite a number of ar
rests yesterday, but none of the priconers
was charged with serious crime.
Mary Davis, an Old white woman. was
locked up On a charge of drunkenness.
Her arrest was of rather peculiar char
acter. In the afternoon she was fairly
dragged into the Office OF the sergeant by
another white woman, who said that she
wanted Davis arrested for stealing money
from her. This charge was stoutly denied
accused started such an argument that
the sergeant threatened to lock them both
up. This threat had the effect of in
ducing them to get out of the barracks
ed to have acquired particular attractions
for the Davis woman, as she afterwards
called so often and. proved such a nuisance
that she was locked up to give her a
chance to get rid of her jag.
Domestic infelieities led Alice Garnett,
colored, to chastise his wife, Ella Garnett,
with the result that he was arrested and
sent In by Patrolman ]. Terrell. When
he appears before Recorder Hartridge this
morning he will probably learn that the
money value OF getting a divorce and the
satisfaction of personal chastisement is in
favor of the former.
Two negro boys, John N. Green and
Henry Lee, were sent in by PatIolman
Godbold on a charge of scorching.
The other arrests were made on charges
of drunkenness, disorderly conduct and

VERDICT OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
COroner's Finding In TiIton ana
Jenkens Inquest

An inquiry into the death of Robert NJ.
Tilton, white and Julius Jenkins, colored.
the men who were run over and killed
in the Plant System yards Friday night
by switch engine No. 2, was held at the
coroner's Office yesterday afternoon. Six
witnesses, the engineer and the fireman
who We're on the engine al the time of
the accident, two switchmen and two
other men who are employed about the
railroad yards. were examined Their
testimony contained practically the story
as told in the Morning News OF July 7.
1t took the jury but a short time to
decide that the men came to their deaths
accidentally by an engine of the Plant
System. This verdict is little indefinite
in its wording, but it is understood that
the jury took the view that both men,
being railroad employees, should have
known 90 what danger they exposed
themselves by standing on the tracks
and that the accident was therefore, more
or less chargeabe to their own careless
ness.

boys DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS.
How the Naval Battalion Musicians
Came to BE Organized.

A unique figure in savannah's military
organize tons and one that has attracted
considerable interest is the Naval Bat
TALON Drum and Bugle Corps. organized
by Mr.. f. V. Petit last February.
The corps now numbers about twenty
boys. between u and Is years old of these
eight are buglers, four are drummers, and
eight filters, though as the ffers have been
added only recently they have not yet
taken part in any of the public appear-
ances of the corps.
Mr.. Petit. who organized the corps, and
to whose efforts the present high state
of proficiency is due, had his attention
first called to the possibility of such
youthful material for a corps by the very
successful efforts that a number of young
sters made 10 master the bugle calls dur
ing the time that the Seventh Army Corps
was quartered here. A great many boys
seemed TO take a particular liking for the
bugle blowing and by their own efforts
supplemented occasionally by the buglers
of the different regiments, learned to
sound many of the regulation calls.
At one time the town was bugle wild
the younger portion of the Inhabitants to
get bugles on which to vent their patriot
ism and enthusiasm, and the grown folk
wild with a desire to stop the seemingly
everlasting blasts and counterblasts that
echoed and re-echoed from every corner
and square where the boys congregated to
practice with more patience than success
Cant get EN- up and other popular calls
that appealed to their martial pride, but
drove sleep and rest from their elders.
The craze gradually died out, but not
before a number of the boys had become
fairy proficient buglers, and it was
here that Mr. Petit found his nateria |
when he set about organizing the Drum
and Bugle Corps. The boys entered heart
lily into the spirit of the thing and though
required TO meet for practice twice a
week the interest increased rather than
Waned, and 50 numerous were the appli-
cations to become members of the corps
that Mr.. Petit was forced to place a limit
on the number of members. AS soon as
the buglers were in fairly good practice
drummers had to be found, and though
these were by no means so plentiful,
enough were secured to balance the bug
lers.
Since its organization the corps has
taken part in one or two public parades,
the last time being the rally of the Citi-
zens' Club just previous to the Demo-
cratic primary in May. The corps was
paid for this work, the money going to-
ward the purchase of summer uniform,
which has only recently been received II
is a muster suit of white trousers and
shirt. and black neckerchief. The win
ter uniform is of the regulation blue of
the same general make and material as
that of the Naval Battalion.
Mr.. Petit is now busily engaged in
teaching the fifers. He hopes that upon
the next parade in which the corps takes
part to have out the full complement of
his corps, including the ffers
