The church was formerly heated by
city steam from the Fourth street

The thirty-sixth annual encampment
will begin here tomorrow and the meeting
of the various military organizations con-
nected with the main body will continue
until next Saturday. Washington is ready
to entertain the almost countless throng
which will make the city its headquarters
during the week. The local committees
have taken every precaution for the pro-

of those who will be unable to find no.

Visitors Arriving.
Great crowds of visitors have been
pouring into the city throughout the day.
and the number of persons coming to the
encampment is probably greater than any
brought to the city on any other occa
sion.
The business houses and private resi-
dences along Pennsylvania avenue and
other prominent streets have been deco
rated. The display of flags and bunting
is very generous.
Tomorrow there is to be an automobile
parade, a regatta on the Potomac river,
the dedication of Camp Roosevelt on the
white lot, at which Secretary of State
John Hay will make the chief address,
and grand camp fire at Convention hail.
Tuesday next the naval parade will take
up the morning, while the afternoon and
evening are to be devoted to receptions
and reunions.

On Wednesday will occur the grand pa

supposed. The Antique museum at
Madrid was the scene of the last theft
of this order. Two of the rarest and
most valuable pictures in the entire
collection, one a Murillo and the other
a Coca, were removed by an attendant
recently and secretly sold to foreign
visitor for mere song. The purchaser,
who is now said to be an American,
left Madrid hastily last Saturday, Sept.
81.
The theft Of the paintings was not
discovered until too late to make any
successful attempts toward recovery,
and the unrighteous buyer got safely
away.
The report that the pictures, which,
of course, can never be replaced, had
been stolen, was weakly denied by the
museum officials for a day or two, but
denial is no longer possible. The pic
lures have vanished completely, and
the only possible chance of their future
recovery lies in the financial temptation
that may by and by induce the present
possessor to offer them for sale in
America, and this, it is thought, he will
scarcely be bold enough to do for some
time.

FORT COLLINS, Col, Oct. 5-John
Beaver, manager of the Shetland
ranch, fifty-five miles northwest of
here, has had occasional visits from a
large silver-tip bear. Lately the bear
has showed signs of friendliness, and
has been seen very near the house.
There is also q flock Of twenty-five
mountain sheep near the ranch, which
is so tame that Mr.. Deaver can ride
among it without causing any fright.
During the stormy weather in spring
time the sheep come down near the
sheds and wait for him to throw them
some hay, which he always does. In
this way he has made these usually
timid creatures nearly as tame as do
nestle sheep. No hunters are allowed
on the ranch, and the sheep have never
heard the crack of rife.
