Elaborate Scale.

The preparations for the entertainment

plete than have ever before been made for
this order. The camp will be erected on

board. City water mains are being laid
through the camp, with hydrants, water
coolers, drain pipes. etc, covering the en-
tire camp ground, one-half mile in length.
The camp will he lighted with both arc and
tncandescent lamps, and instead of ordinary
company mess, the local committee Is pre-
pairing for the big hotel tents, in which the
entire army Of the Uniform Rank will be
taken care of as perfectly as they would
be in a tirst-class hotel. The ranges and
cooking utensils are being built after the
plan OF the modern hotel kitchen, and fully
one thousand people will be employed in
preparing and serving the food to the sol
diers. This feature will be an innovation
and Is a plan which Chairman Cunningham

urged upon the state and government for a
number OF years as d most satisfactory
method of handling troops after mobiliza-
ton.

prizes among the companies entered into
competition, and this will be feature of
great interest, not only to military men,
but to all visitors to the city. The prize
drills will occur on Belle Isle and at the
D. A. c. grounds. simultaneously.
The headquarters of the Pythans in De-
troit is being deluged every day with re-
quests for hotel and boarding house accom-

RAILWAY MANHOLES.
Complaint That They Are Nearly
Always Open.

Lieut.. Swindells, in charge of the seventh
police precinct, recently invited the atten-
ton of the chief of police, Major Sylvester
TO the manholes or plow-pits on 32d street.
just north of Z, and on Prospect avenue
west of Both street. of the Washington
Traction Company, which are used for the
purpose of changing from the overhead to
the underground current. These pits, said
the lieutenant, are open practically all The
time, while the cars are running and he
referred to the fact that dog a day or
so previous. fell into one of these holes or
pits, and a day or TWO later boy fell INTO
one of them. The dog was killed. but the
boy was not seriously injured. The holes
or pits, in the opinion of Lieut.. Swindens
present an element of danger at all times
VIXEN N an uncovered condition, and he sug-
gested that the attention of the Inspec cor
OF street railways be called TO the matter,
with the view Of relieving the District of
responsibility in the event of future acct
dents.
The matter was referred, as recommended
by the lieutenant, and MIR. l.. +. Bradshaw
the street railway inspector, reported to the
Commissioners that, upon inves ligating the
cases, he found that the death of the dog
was due to shock. caused by coming in con-
tact with the conductor rails lit having in
Its frantic efforts to get out of the pil
before the pitman could get hold of it,
jumped into the conduit, in which confined
space such contact was unavoidable As to
the boy, he had been repeatedly warned
away from the pit by the ptman, and the
accident to him was directly due to his
having dropped into II from the rear of
the car while in the act of stealing a ride"
The time between cars, reported Mr..
Bradshaw, renders it practically necessary
that these pits be kept open during service
hours. and by way of warning of the danger
red flags are displayed be. ween tracks dur
ing the day and red lights at night. These
precautions, In addition to the fact that the
presence OF the pitman is required in the

iicient to protect the public against acct
