Scene, tent in Company G street,

tent, Sergeant John Powers, manager
Of the Company G base ball team.
Time, 2 a. M, Tuesday: well, well,
put them over, Pete. Who's the crook
that said that the Company A team
could play ball. Hully gee! What is the
matter with you, Chris Bannon? Push
over there and give me part of the
bunk or III tell Colonel Jean Jacob As
tor Sullivan. Gee whiz! but Jean is
an important parsonage, especially
when his lady friend from Crescent
Beach is nearby. Well, what rapping
we will give to that colored base ball
team tomorrow. Holy smokes, but
Keep your feet from my face. Foley.
The air is = -; but isn't Donovan a
clever guy? Did you hear about him
telling the Misses Hickey not to let
Mike Peters walk with them, as he
was a married man and had three
children? Oh, gee! how Mixes blood
did boil. Say, those reporters better
have a good sleep tonight, for they
will get their medicine tomorrow
night. Sickness will be no excuse.
Lieutenant Sandland is too quiet. You
would think he was in Wolcott, but
Sergeant Morrison is a jolly good fell
low. Those Company A fellows are
away ahead of us this year, but they
shouldn't be using the blanket about
IL o'clock at night. They are apt to
get call. and besides it places Cap
tain Carter in q bad box. Oh. great
Beelzebub! but wasn't that a frost that
Paddy Kane got from that auburn
haired, green eyed beauty, who makes
those eyes-what do you call them

Paddy will never forget the call he re-
ceived for his forwardness. She has
a sharp tongue. indeed Edward Bren-
nan would make dead dog sick with
his continual demands for refresh
ments. But, say, didn't work the
game we'll? Think of the boys march

heavy sacks on their backs All, it is
lovely, but I'd rather be here. I'm the
wise guy. What! I guess I didn't go
on the march. My arms were sun.

Anstra1fa,a nlackberrx PEST

Blackberries thrive more luxuriant-
ly in Australia than in Europe or
America, their growth being so rapid
that in many places they are regarded
as an agricultural pest. Like the
first rabbits, the original blackberry
vines have grown and multiplied until
they bid fair to cover the face of the
country. The bushes are not cult
vated-they can look after themselves,
as many Australian agriculturists are
painfully aware-but the jam made
from their fruit is sufficiently tempt
ing to make one forget their unwel-
come presence on the farm. The Gag

STILL DIGGING TRENCHES.
Life at Camp Keeler This Week j
Not One Round of Pleasure.

Camp Keller, Mantle, Aug Il For
the first time this week the regular
routine of drill was gone through with,
the Fourth regiment only going out to
dig trenches. The field work is more
costly to the state, but the officials be-
lieye that the results warrant the ex-
ira expense. General Frost went out
this morning to adjust some of the
claims for damages resulting from this
weeks field work.
The brigade has kept up the high
average both in policing and quarters
Acting Governor Keller and General
Cole left this morning to attend the
funeral OF Former Governor Cooks,
which took place this afternoon. They

Captain Carter of Company A was
officer of the day on Tuesday.
Companies G and a make as good,
if not better, appearance, than any
companies in the camp.
A rattlesnake took possession Of the
tent allotted to Privates Stein and Dun
ply about III O'clock at night driving
the occupants out into the cold.
Last night at Lake Patagauncett
Private William Monagan had the au-
dacfty and effrontery Of hating Cap
tain Fitzpatrick. One can judge how
tired and sleepy a private is when he
can't recognize his own captain. Tt
was lucky for Weary Willie that he
was not put in the guardhouse.
The Second and Fourth regiments
returned to camp yesterday afternoon
at 3 o'clock from Lake Patagauncett.
ALI the members of Company G and
Company A say that they enjoyed the
experience of pitching their camps, etc.
The only fault, found was with the
weather, which was very cold. Harry
Bannon says that he was almost frozen
to the ground, while rriyates Egan
and It. Reid became so stiff with the
cold that they are still lame. Corporal
Callahan, Privates Maloney, Courtney,
William Shannahan and William Pow
ers of Company G had the pleasure OF
pulling back to farm house, dis
lance of about two miles, an OK team
which had been taken from it, Ser
geant T. r.. Lawlor drove the team.
| Corporal Callahan had his white ducks
ruined. while Prof Shannahan became
so tired that he had to be placed in the
team and drawn along.
One of the most interesting and ex-
citing events which occurred at Pata-
gauncet lake, where the Second and
| Third regiments bivouaced on Tuesday
night was q sham battle early We'd
nesday morning. The opposing forces
were members of the Second and
Fourth regiments; the weapons were
| apples. The Second regiment boys
were standing around their encamp-
ment by the side of the lake when they
were overwhelmed with a fusi1ade OF
apples from the top of the hill, at the
| foot of which they We're encamped.
They returned the fire, and then bat.

| height trumpeter gave the signal to

! ond among them number of Com
| pany G's boys, charged the hill and
succeeded after much fighting in driv-
| ing the enemy from their bulwarks.

diseo1ored optics and their coun-
tenances are disfigured with bumps. 1t

the evening of the 4th inst. attracted
music lovers from all parts OF the city.
Those who could not find standing room
within the church crowded the door

walk. The music was selected exclu-
sively from MendelssOhn'S works. prin-
cipally his oratorias. To attempt such
high class program was hazardous,
even for Lincoln Temple, for popular
audiences seldom respond warmly TO an
evening concert devoted exclusively to
classical music. But on this occasion
the appreciation of the audience was
manifest throughout. and even now after
a weeks interval we still hear echoes
of commendation Mr. HaySOn, who is
an uncOmprOmising exponent of the
highest class of church music, needs to
feel proud of his splendid choir, to
whose mastery of details, sympathetic
blending. and intelligent phrasing is due
the cordial reception received from the
public on this occasion. 1t was not eX-
pected that Mrs Brooks would sing, for
She had lust come from sick bed, and
many were disappointed III not hearing
solos from other members OF the choir.

up all sorts of functional irregularities

time indoors. Peruna cures these afTec-
tions by regulating the supply Of blood
and giving to each part OF the system
exactly that portion of the blood to

By producing a natural appetite, cor
recting digestion and regulating the
supply Of blood in the system, Peruna
removes the cause of thousand and one
maladies very common In warm
weather.
The fatigue ard LsIguor of hot

LEADING cIrrzENs RETfCENT, NOT

Tn. High school Building kreessd I'm
asss as a Cost Of ss,6s7--rhe Present
Financial Condition Of Hoard


The news OF the desire of the school
BoArd Il issue bonds for the purpose
OF erecting a new High School BALD
ing and funding the outstanding. in
terest- bearing school orders WAS q
eurpr Use to a mt iority OF the oiti-
zens. A few who were consulted
about the PROJECT approved of IL, but
the majority OF the leading cigizens
who we're asked TO give their opin-
ion about it declined &c say ANYTHING
until they had investigated more full
lv.
The present High school building
was erected il the wear 1883 at a cost
of Sc. 667. The same building. how
ever. at this time Of high labor and
increased prices in building material
would cost much more. Directly at
ter Its completion many pronuneed it
ton small for a growing town andpra-
dicted that in a verv short time an
other one would have to be built.
That prediction has come true. For
a High school that IS an. thing like
modern it is unsuitable. say the hoafu
and the teachers. The standard nf
the High School compares favorabiy
with the normal schools OF the STATE.
but to teach the various branches MS
thew should be taught the & srs
say hat more room is needed.
The outstanding orders which ii is
proposed to fund amount TO 81, Isl.
Thev represent the remainder of the
debt incurred in building the new
Fifth Ward building and in making
the improvements to the Second ward
building. Orders to the amount OF
SO. SI6 beat interest at the rate of 8
per cent. and the other ones, amount
ing to 81. 365. bear interest at the rate
OF 5 per cent. The bonds which 1t is
proposed to refund amount to 81, DOC
end bear interest at the rate of 4 per
cent The bonds originally bore inter
est at the rate OF g per cent. They
matured In the real 1896. but the hold
ars agreed to keep them at four per
cent. interest and they were neither
taken up or reissned. 1T the holders
would at any time make q demand
for the money the School Board would
have to devise some means to pay il.
The peonle Will be called upon at
the ballot box in November to decide
whether or not they want the bonds
issued. but all should be thoroughly
familiar with the question before
casting their ballots. All ccmmuni-
cations on the subject will be pub
lished in these columns.
