The Bath Times, last night said:

The Bath Times, last night said:
Saturday morning at $50 o'clock,
the Hyde Light Guards start on their
march to the camp grounds in Au-
gusta. Each man will carry his full
equipment with the exception of his
heavy clothing which will go by rail.
Khaki uniforms will be worn. The
men will cross on the $50 ferry and
then the march will begin in earnest.
At noon the command is expected to
be just beyond Days Ferry and at
night will probably be directly Oppo-
site the Richmond ferry or at Oak
Grove.
The boys are to take their first meal
in their haversacks, and as they will be
in a vicinity where there are stores,
food will be bought out of the general
fund and supper served over 4 camp
fire. The noon day rest will be two
hours, which will allow the boys to
seek a cool place during the hot part
of the day.
Sunday morning, the turn OUT
bugle will blow at o'clock, and the
command will begin moving at 6. Some
of the boys expect to reach Augusta
by Sunday, but as it is not wished to
arrive in camp before the other COM
panies, Sundays tramping will be very
easy.
Each man will carry in addition to Il
heavily loaded haversack, his shelter
tent, heavy blanket and canteen.
Next Wednesday, the Eastern Steam
ship Co. is to run an excursion to Au-
gusta from the islands and Bath 50
that people will have an opportunity
to witness camp life.

and the high priest of the court was
present. So the Sultana suggested
that he speak the tenets Of the religion
of her people into the machine and
have it repeated to the assembly This
was done. The high priest approached
the instrument and incantel .he sum
and substance of the religion into the
machine. This was subsequently, re-
versed and when the exac, reproduce
ton of his voice was heard by the
Sulus their joy knew no bounds. They
We're charmed and delighted with the
exhibition.
After this had been done another idea
struck the Sultana. She wanted the
Americans to speak the tenets of their
religion into the wonderful machine
and then reproduce the same; for, said
she, they would like to preserve the
same for future use.
The officers looked from one to an
other in Amusement and they We're
obliged to acknowledge to themselves
that their religious education had been
neglected, for none of them could re-
member anything in the nature of a
prayer or Biblical text which they
might palm off on the poor benighted
Sulus as the religion of the American
people.
But d happy thought came to Capt
| C!oman. He had committed the lines
of Kipiings poem, The Ladies" to
memory and could reel them off at a
moments notice. Clearing his throat,
he began to recite the poem into the
machine. Those who are acquainted
with this particular production of the
world famous poet will realize that II
| is not wholly based upon religion, but
| is somewhat removed from that cate
| CORY. And yet Capt. Cloman gave 1t IN
| such a manner with intonation and the
tremolo necessary to impress his audi
tors with the religious thought con-
tanned therein, that the Sulus accepted
| it as the real thing. The Sultana was
! delighted with it, although the IAN
guage was not her own, and, she salo
the record would be saved forever.
And now Capt. Cloman wonders Wha1
some missionary may say when he goes
to Sulu for the purpose of evangeliZins
its people to have the Sultana say
| Why we have your religion here
We know all about it," and then sh'
takes the monograph and grnds ou
the Kipling poem as the religion OF TN
Americans.

AT O'Clock, the regiment was order

marched into the field and had just be-
gun to play and some of the companies
had reached the parade ground
when thunder storm, which had been
expected for some time, broke forth
in a fierce way. The thunder roared,
the lightning flashed, and the rain
poured in torrents. The command was
given to break ranks and the men
skurried to their quarters with chain
lightning rapidly. They didn't want

by the State of Maine.
And speaking of these grounds it
may be said that the State made no
mistake when it purchased the land
now used for the muster grounds. 1t
was done during the administration of
Governor +. g. Burleigh and was as
wise a piece of work as was accom-

property originally cost the State $500

three times the amount paid for it.

their praise of the grounds and say

At headquarters. yesterday. Capt.
Cloman was relating some of the ex-
periences which he had while at the
Philippines, and among other things
ne told an interesting story regarding
the Sutana OF the Sulus.
For 10 months Capt. Cloman was To-
Gated at TwaiTwai, a group of islands
in the Sulu archipelago. The govern
ment had made treaty with the Sui
tan of that section. and believing he
would enjoy a monograph. one was
purchased and Capt. Cloman was sent
to present the same to the Sultan. He
went to the island where the Sultan's
principal palace was located, accom-
panied by his officers and by an in
terpreter. Arriving there he was dis
appointed to learn that the Sultan was
not at home. His mother, the Sultana,
however. was there and she accorded
an audience to the Americans. This
audience was given in that portion of
the palace occupied by the harem OF
the Sultan. There were many ladies
present. and all of the attaches of the
Sultan's court were in attendance
Capt. Cloman had the phonogra pf
brought there. and one of his officers
who was an expert in its manipula-
ton. had charge of the machine.
Selections from Sousa's band and
other musical numbers were given and
they attracted general attention. The
officers had some blank records with
them and they asked the Sultana il
she did not wish to send some message
