highest commenda ton for its conscien-
tious and uniagging attention to duty
during the whole year. The officers
have labcred impartially and earnestly
from the outset. No one is able to say
that they failed to fulfill their duty in
every particular. Lieutenant Colonel
Bosch. Major Snifiin. and Major Winter
deserved every bit of the tremendous
ovation they received. But when it
comes to the matter Of giving credit for
the success and general excellence OF
the drill, no one is to be omitted from
obtaining a lions share. Every officer
and man connected with the regiment,
from the colonel down to the huInblest
private in tine rear rank, is entitled to
the warmest praise. They have all
worked exceedingly hard toward one
specific end-the uobuilding of the
Washington High School Cadet Corps
and putting up the best drill in the
history of the regiment
If public sentiment and the opinion
of military experts are any evidence in
this connection, they certainly succeeded
even beyond their most radiant ex-
pectations.
Praise for Colonel Ross.
Col. Burton R. Ross also comes in for
a liberal share of the credit for the
excellent showing made by the cadets,
who are, perhaps. trihe disposed to
overlook his labors in behalf of the
upbuildins of the cadet regiment. 1t
is he who stands back of it all with
his advice and knowledge of military af-
fairs, and trains the young officers to
do their work. The army officers who
acted as the board Of judges paid him
the very highest compliments upon the
success he has attained with the regi-
ment.
Expressions of opinion from Commits
sioner Mcfarland. Colonel Ross. and
scores of others among the distin-
suished persons present all revert to
the one big fact that the drill Of 1902
was by far the most successful ever

BALTIMORE. ND, Sept. 4.-Frank P.
Parrish Chief Of Police of Charlottesville,
Va, died suddenly in this city tonight,
while on visit to friends. But little
can be learned Of the details. It appears
that he was out on the Patapsco with a
friend, Thomas Lerch, OF Lerch Brothers,
harness manufacturers. He became sud-
denly i'll from what appeared to be sea-
sickness, and was taken to hospital,
where he died at 1890 to-day.
Inquiry al the residence of Mr.. Lerch
tonight developed the fact that he was
not at home and Mrs. Lerch did not know
where he was. She said she did not
know Mr.. Farish was dead. She said she
had heard that while the party were out

fully thrown overheard, but she did not
know whether this was before or after
Mr. Parish became i'll. She was under
the impression that he had been taken
to a certain private hospital, but when
inquiry was made at this institution the
physician in charge refused to discuss
the matter.
Inquiry was made at other hospital,
without result. Therefore it is impossi-
BILE to learn the exact cause Of Mr.. Far
ish's sudden death.
