AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Residents Busy Preparing Schedules
Under Personal Tax Law

Inc notarles OF Georgetown are busy at
hiking their seals and signatures to the per-
sonal tax schedule to be sworn to and re-
turned by not only those who possess per-
sonal property exceeding $1,000 in value
but also of those whose limited personal
possessions are exempt under the law. 1t
Is not known by the majority Of the citi-
zens OF that section whether or not they are
required to make return If their personal
property is less than 81 600 in value. While
the ofhcers at the District building agree
II Is said, that there is no expressed law re-
curing those exempt to make a return
those who have inquired at the municipai
ofnces have been told, it is said, that 1t is
advisable to do So In all probability the
personal tax office will deem it proper af-
ter August II to send around assessors to
the homes of those from whom no return
mas been received, and a properly anthem
ticated schedule will save them possibly
from annoyance. These schedules can be
sworn to free of charge at the District
building or before any outside notary pub
lie at the cost of 25 cents.

Lack of Funds Prevents Provision for
Court of Honor-Applica-
ton for Quarters.

Commander ]. H Moore, chairman of the
subcommittee On information for the G.. A.
r. eincampment called at headquarters this
morning and had an extended conference
with Secretary Bulkley. The object of his
visit was to arrange for the distribution of
MI. Warmers circular of information to the
various q. \. r. posts at the earliest date
possible. and To plan the map which the
executive committee will have printed for
distribution during the encampment. He
left with the understanding that the circu-
lars should be sent out tomorrow. The
other subjects touched upon were left un-
settled.
1t is purposed that this year, as ten years
ago, booths shall be set up along the main
down town streets that information may be
given visitors with the least possible de-
lay. Circulars will be printed giving the
rates for hotel. boarding house, restaurant
and other accommodations, the location of
the principal Grand Army organizations
and the quarters assigned to the various
posts. With a small map. clearly showing
the locations of all public buildings and G..
y. r. organizations, il is thought all rea-
sOnable questions asked by visitors during
the enCampment can be answered. The To-
cation of these booths on government reser
yatiOnS depends on the approval of the Dis
trict authorities, and Commander Moore
went this morning to see DIR, William Tin

Well-Equipped Hospital.

Through the cooperation OF the army and
navy medical departments, as explained al
a meeting of the medical committee held
last night there will be established during
the encampment a large and perfectly
equipped field hospital capable of accommo-
dating all the emergency cases. This offer
makes IL wise for the committee TO aban-
don its project of establishing an encamp-
ment hospital in the old Major building on
18th street, with auxiliary hospitals else
where in the city, and the committee voted
accordingly
The meeting was held at the Riggs House
and was attended by about twenty physi-
clans. DR.. ID. Percy Hickling presided As
chairman of the committee he explained the
purpose OF the surgeon general of the army
To establish for the encampment a model
hospital, perfectly equipped. A sufficient
number of tents, with appropriate supply
and administrative tents, will be set up for
los patients. Each tent will be fioored and
lighted by gas. Twenty ambuances will be
provided 10 swell the number obtained from
local institutions. Stewards and pharma-
cists Will be detailed TO relieve the physi-
Clans Of the committee from all care in con-
nectiOn wiki the issuance of medicine and
the care of ali other supplies The sur
geon general even offered to provide male
nurses
Such an equipment appealed to the COM
mittee much more TO be desired than a
temporary hospital set up in a building poor
~ adapted to such use. The offer was ac-
cordingly accepted. the motion to that eff
ASCl DN III hllS DtlhS approved unani-

Chairman Warmers Plans.

Chairman Warner gave out the following
interview this morning:
The purpose of the citizens executive
committee is TO insure three things during
the period of this reunion-the safety, com
fort and health of the citys guests. Our
work to that end is now well in hand, and
the committee feels assured of a successful
result.
AT the next meeting of the executive
committee we shall arrange to have a map
printed for distribution during the encamp-
ment. Ten years ago this was the largest
single item of expense, over $500 being al
lowed for the purpose.
AT the request of Mr.. Orrin G. Staples,
! recently wrote Mr.. Appleton p. Clark, jr,
and obtained from him plan he had made
for a beautiful court of honor to be situat-
ed in front of the White House The CEN
trail feature of this court was a memorial
arch. The executive committee fears, how
ever, that lack of funds will prevent it from
constructing this arch. and is much pleased
TO learn from Mr.. Clark that the beauty of
the stands and the other features of the
plan will largely compensate for this loss.
ON previous occasions / have noticed
that the beautiful monument TO Lafayette
has been covered by reviewing stands, and
i wish TO say that in October neither that
monument nor the one recently erected TO
Count ROChambeau viii be hidden. We
shall preserve also the beautiful vista TO
the Jackson monument from the White
House. so that all those beautiful adOrn-
ments To Lafayette Square can be seen"
Several letters We're received at hadquar-
trs this morning asking for information of
the encampment program. One of them
was signed by James B. ClugStOn, "SecTe-
tary of the Washington committee. Bayard
Post No. =, Trenton. y. j." and asks per-
mission for that post to bring tenting sup
plies and encamp on the park at the inter
section of 9TH street, c street and Maryland
avenue.
Post ~ Philadelphia. Pa has sent a
committee of three TO Washington to OBJ
tain post accommodations.
Work of the Women Committees.
The lawn fete of the patriotic women's
organizations bids fair to be a great sue
cess. The Ladies Auxiliary, No. -, Union
Veteran Legion. will lend its aid, with
the others. to help push the affair along.
The place for the lawn fete is at the juno
ton of 18th street and Florida avenue, on
the ground that has long been known as
the Sherman Square" but 1t is not the
square south Of the treasury building
where the unfinished statue of Sherman
now stands. The location for the fete Is
beautifully shaded. Mrs Ida A. Oldroyd
chairman of the W. r. c. committee. will
call meeting Of that committee very soon.
1t Is desirable, she says, to have a report
at that meeting from every person holding
a pass book. Mrs Oldroyd says she will
revise her committee according to the in
tereSt shown by its members in collecting
funds for the encampment work. This COM
mittee as revised will be the one that will

CARNIVAL DAY AND NIGHT.
The Program Today Embraces a
 Camel Race.

This will be the great day or the car niVal; that is it will be greater than any of the others have been for inter- est in the event is growing constantly. Every railroad train and stage brings more people to town and nobody goes away. Then this is carnival night when the streets from early dark until the gray of the following morning will be filled with strange people. New att fractions are being constantly added. Yesterday the wild ha-ha man made his appearance. Nobody knows where he came from but he Is here.
 Beside the regular attraction there will be today a camel race, a contest of speed between three camels each with two riders. The first crew will be made up of Jake Miller and M. C. Webster the second of Hi Eldred and Joe Moni- hon, and the third of s. J. Mcdonald and John Norton. There will be no handicap and no questions about weights. Miller will be the captain of his crew. Eldred will be on the bridge for his crew and Mcdonald will com mand the third camel. The captains have been appointed with reference to their experience with camels. The pre- else hour of the contest has not been fixed by the carnival management so that it is recommended that the popu> lace be on the street early in the morning and stay until the event is pulled off. To go home to dinner would be attended by risk.
 Camel riding has become a fad in this community within the last four days. A young lady of a poetic turn of mind has forwarded to this office a descrip- tion of her sentiments during a ride night before last:
 went to ride the other night.
 Robbie, dear Bobbie
 Perhaps you think it wasn't a sight,
 Robbie, dear Robbie.
 The camel he went so humpety hump, thought we'd surely fall in a lump.
 Robbie, my Robbie.
 So l screamed aloud in a mighty fright. 70 Robbie do hold me tight, more tight Or I'll surely fall from this dizzy height
 Robbie. Robbie. Robbie,
 Robbie, hold me tight.
 Ouch. Ouch!! Uugh!!!
 Hold me tight tighter! tight"
 But the carnival will by nc means end with the camel race and the mask ing. The climax will come tomorrow. The chief event of that day will be the grand parade of the Eagles who have been at the bottom of all this fun.
