CAMP ORDWAY. Leesburg, Va. July
21.-The National Guardsmen of the Dis
trict of Columbia, now in camp. are lead
ing a strenuous existence. A terrific storm
passed over the city of canvas yesterday
afternoon and caused many to make COM
parsons of the scene with what remained
of st. Pierre. Martinique. after the recent
eruption of Mount Pelee Tents were lev
eled as though constructed of playing
cards, big timbers were broken as though
they were match stems, tall flag poles were
bent far out of position. and even heavy
trunks were blown from the interior to the
outside of tents by the force of the wind.
1t was a matter of surprise to everybody
on the grounds that Camp Ordway was not
totally wiped out of existence. The storm
began to rage about an hour before Secre-
tary Root and his party, including Maj.
Gen. Henry c. COrbin, adjutant general
United States army: Brig. Gen. Leonard
w GOD, United States army, formerly gov
ernor general of Cuba, and Col. Wallace F.
Randolph. chief of the artillery corps,
United States army. were scheduled to
reach the grounds. The storm interfered
somewhat with the reception accorded the
distinguished visitors.
The camp was in model condition when
the black clouds appeared. Hundreds of
NlSllOlS from W dSnlNSIOn were WITHIN the
Enclosure, as were many residents of Lees
burg and vicinity. With very little warn
ing the trouble began. The first sign of
what was to be expected was the collapse
of the general staff's mess tent. The tables
had just been set for the accommodation of
Secretary Root and party. The storm
broke, and in an instant the big mess tent
went up into the air like balloon. drag
ging supporting poles and pegs with it. The
table furnishings were smashed and a most
woeful miXup created.
Gen. Harries' Tent
AT the tent of the commanding general a
party of ladies from Fort Myer. with a
number of officers of the I'd United States
Cavalry, were the guests of Gen. Harries
Cnmindful of the rain which was de-
scending in sheets. the general, his orderly
and several officers were striving with
might and main to save the tent OF a
sudden the ridge pole of the front fly
snapped and a portion of headquarters was
wreCkage- The falling pole struck the gen
erals son Herbert on the head but the
young man, who is on duty in camp as a
special aid. paid no attention to the blow
He dashed out and assisted in lowering the
big flag, which was threatening to fall over
the post Flagstaff. Having accomplished
this task Cadet Harres returned to what
was left of headquarters and lost con-
seriousness. His condition caused some
alarm, but under the treatment of Surgeon
General Henderson he soon recovered and
later in the day declared he felt no i'll eff
fects from the injury.
While all this was taking place affairs
were Interesting generally throughout the
camp.

PERRINE BOUND OVER.
Charged With False Pretenses in Con.
nection With an Insurance Policy.

The case of Hamilton L. Perrine, the in
surance agent charged by Mr. Theodore j.
Mayer with false pretences, was called for
trial in Judge Kimballs court today. As
sistant District Attorney Mullowny ap-
peared for the prosecution and was assist
ed by Mr.. Henry E. Davis, former prose-
cutting officer for the District. The defend
ant was represented by Attorney George
Drew.
Mr. Mayer. in his statement to the court
charged that the defendant called on him
and represented that he was empowered
and authorized to offer two policies in the
Mutual Life Insurance Company. Perrine,
the complainant alleged, told him that he
had been instructed by representatives of
the company to write 100000 worth of
policies in this city, and he was to receive
$4,000 if he succeeded. Mr.. Mayer said he
finally gave Mr.. Perrine his consent to take
policies for $4,000, with the understanding
that he was to turn over a check for
$7,953.50 and receive a return check for
$7,55J.S2.
Mr.. Perrine, he said told him that the
arrangement for him to get his Insurance
at so low figure for the first year was a
secret. He told Mr. Mayer, according to
the latter's testimony. that he had already
written policies for $500 600 Mr. Mayer told
of the circumstances under which he de-
livered the check, and said that the agent
left him after getting the check.
Perrine, the witness said, informed him
that Mr.. Charles Knight cashier for the
local manager of the company mentioned,
knew of the secret arrangement for him to
get the amount of insurance mentioned.
Mr.. knight appeared as witness and
denied that he knew Of any such arrange
ment. Mr.. Perrine, he said, is not a staff
agent of the company. He presented Mr..
Mayors check to witness in the ordinary
course of business, and paid Mr.. Perrine
$4,112.10 as his commission.
During the course of his testimony Mr..
Mayer said that he borrowed $4,000 at the
Central National Bank for two hours, as he
expected to get the return check he said
he had been promised.
Mr. Ruff, cashier of the bank, testified to
the $1,000 loan.
The defendant told the court that he has
a residence in this city and in Free
hold, n. ]. He said he called On Mr.. Mayer
about five weeks ago because he knew Mr..
Mayer carried heavy insurance policies. He
said the transaction was ordinary bust
ness one and denied he made the arrange
ment charged by Mr.. Mayer.
Judge Kimball heard arguments in the
case and held Perrine for the action of the
grand jury. Bond was fixed at 81 800, the
amount given at the time of the arrest.

F. Daniels reached here today to find
that his commission as Marshal, which
had preceded him, had been Cancelled

When Daniels left Washington two
weeks ago the President had passed as
unworthy the host OF kilograms and
letters protesting against Daniels ap-
pointment because he had been a
gambler. Two days later It was prov
ed, apparently beyond doubt, that
Daniels had served term in the peni-
Tertiary at Laramie, Wyo. Then
Roosevelt gave in and recalled the
commission.

AN IcELESs REFRIGERATOR.

One OF the latest novelties is the Ice
less refrigerator. This new invention
is claimed by its maker to bring the
cost OF refrigeratlng meats and vege-
tables down to very small figure
not over one cent day.
The refrigerator much resembles any
other, but is so constructed that none
Of the cold air escapes. The interior
is not provided with metallic lining,
but covered with two coats Of shellGc,
which completely closes and makes
air-tight the grain of the wood
The coldmaking tin, which is on the
top of the refrigerator, is four inches
deep, and works upon the principle OF
absorption OF latent heat. An auto
matte shut-off, worked by the door us
II is opened, prevents the escape Ol
the cold air from the refrigerator, so
that there can be no waste In that
manner.
The refrigerator stores twenty Gu
bic feet OF cold air, enough to supply
a family twenty-four hours. Each
morning the cold air is resupplied, the
operation taking but very short
time, and the refrigerator Is then
ready for the next twenty-four hours
work.-Philadelphia Telegraph.

DE VETS LATEST SENSATIONAL FLIGHT

wounded and prisoners in the hands of
the British.
At the outset OF the preparations
the Beers realized that the operations
were not merely an ordinary drive"
but a movement threatening them
with total humiliation, and General
De Wet assembled his whole force and
discussed the whole situation with his
commanders, with the result that tho
Beers were split up into three forces.
On Thursday night 500 Beers rushed
force of Imperial Light Horse. About
100 burghers got through, but the re-
mainder, encountering a tremendous
fire, were turned back.
Friday nights conflict ebbed and
swelled over an area of forty to fifty
miles, in which the long-hunted. har-
raised and desperate men endeavored
to find outlets. The Beers at one spot
got within thirty yards of the British
firing line, but the barbed wire baked
the burghers and forced them to re.
treat. Aided by the electric search.
lights, the British narrowed the sur
rounding territory with sharpnel
shells and Maxim bullets.
In the northern section the Beers
made a desperate effort to break
through. Collecting a number OF cattle
the Beers drove them down on the
British lines. Bending low in their
saddles, they rode among the cattle
making 1t impossible to distinguish
them in the darkness. The British
plckets opened a heavy fire and the
Beers were everywhere met with q
relentless hail of bullets. A long line
Of flame ran up and down the firing
line, nearly thirty miles in length, al
the armored trains flashed theil
searchlights over miles of country
When the firing ceased a few of the
Beers had succeeded in crossing th'
line, and among them was General d.
Wet.

London, Feb. 13-The detailed ac-
counts which have just reached here
of Lord Kitchener's combined move
ment to capture the Beers in the in
closure Of the blockhouse lines show
that the conflict was very picturesque
and the most exciting incident of the
whole campaign. Although apparent
ly surrounded by an impenetrable ring
OF fire and steel the Beers, with daunt-
less bravery and dashing charges, tried
again and again to escape from tho
meshes of Lord Kitchener's close
drawn net. Some succeeded. including
De Wet, but many fell and more were
captured.
The British commanders scheme
was the most extensive carried out
during the present war. 1t consisted
of a continuous line fifty miles In
length. Lord Kitchener personally di-
rected the operations, and was in
close touch with every detail OF the
movements. The Beers, though hard
pressed, shrank from attempting to
cross the railroad, which was patrol
led throughout the night by armored
trains, equipped with powerful search
lights. The train lights were supple
mented by stationary searchlights.
and the spectacular effect was most
striking. BY the side of the railroad
were the dark forms OF men lying in
trenches or standing doing sentry
duty. The gloom OF the moonless night
was internationally relieved by the
sweep OF the searchlights.
The battle at Hebron ragged from
o'clock Friday night until Saturday
morning. From various positions be-
hind rocks the Beers kept up a vigor-
Que fusilade, hoping to find a weak
spot in the line. simultaneously 9TH
