The game between Lowell and Worces-

Lowell amateur named Hollis filed in i'm
Pierce's place.

FROM A BRITISH SHIP.
A Cannon Ball Fired at the Ancestral
Home of the Lees.

"In my yard is a relic of the war of 1872,
which ought to be in the National Mu-
scum" said DIR. Charles Stuart of STRAIT
ford Hall, lower Westmoreland county, at
the Metropolitan. 1T is a large cannon
ball. fired by one Of the vessels of the Brit
ksh fleet at the hall when the latter passed
down the Potomac during the year named.
Etratford Hall, you doubtless know, is the
ancestral home of the Lees, and remember
ing what service the family had rendered
against the mother country in the revolu-
tionary war, the British naval officers prob
ably thought they were doing the crown
service by destroying the old home. My
impression is that Light Horse Harry
Lee was living at Stratford Hall at the
time the British fired at the old mansion.
why the British did not land force of
marines and burn the house and outbuild-,
ings will never be known. Several shots
were fired in the direction of them, but
owing to the high bluffs they did not quite
reach The cannon ball of which I speak
is huge affair, and was probably fired
from a mortar and was found in the timber
several yards east of the mansion some
days after the British passed down the
river.
'sOf he thousands of acres originally at
tached to the estate only about $500 are in
my possession. The governors mansion,
which the house was In Queen Anne'S
reign, Is in fair stafe of preservation. and
Is among the few houses in existence in
this country in colonial times. 1t is a huge
pile of gray bricks which had been burned
in England and brought over as ballast in
sailing vessels. 1t is much too roomy for a
private family, as upward Of forty guests

Even within the short time since its pas

requires changes in all the military
bodies of nearly every state. In New York,
Tor instance, though changes could be made

CARNATIONS.
The large number of staff officers in the
National Guard of many of the states is
due in part to the fact that none of them
can can give his whole time to his military du-
ties, so that from two to three militia off

to the act are possible, which, 1t is urged

nize that army conditions are not those Of

In the interest of the service Landsman
John E. Wise, LIST Division, Naval Battal-

Private James R. Lyons has been dishon-
orably discharged from the National Guard

A rumor to the effect that Lieut. Com

TALON, rendered his resignation several
weeks ago is emphaticaly denied by that
officer. On the contrary, Lieut. Commander
Hopkins is busy arranging a schedule of
work to be performed by the jackies during

HAD NEVER SEEN A HORSE.
Matanuski Indians of Alaska Keep
Aloof From Civilization.

1T is hard to believe that there are per-
sons living In the western hemisphere who
never saw horse" said Quartermaster
John +. Rice at the Normandie but such
is the case. l well reeollect when with
the Abercrombie expedition In 1899 we
found ourselves one September night
eral hundred miles from nowhere. Just
as the sun was sinking over the Alaskan
range the camp was startled by the re-
port of rifle.
I'VE sprang to our feet prepared for any
emergency when our native guide discover
ed across the narrow valley an Indian who
had just brought down a caribou. By the
use OF signs and signals he was induced
to come into camp. After we had tanked
him up with strong tea and loaded him to
the guards with pork and beans his tongue
limbered up, and through One of the guides
he informed US that he was a Matanuski,
by the way, the fercest tribe in Alaska,
and that he was hunting caribou. At the
time we discovered him he was $50 miles
from the encampment OF his tribe, which
shows that the fellow had his nerve with
him. He had never seen a horse, and our
pack animals excited hts curiosity and
wonder. He declared that mo member of
his tribe had ever seen horse, all trans
portat1on In his country being conducted
by dog teams hitched to sleds in winter,
and by pack dogs in summer. What
amused him most was to see the animals
eat grass, and every time they would grab
a mouthful of forage he would almost go
into commissions. he thought it SO funny.
In an chronological sense the Matanuskis
resemble the Apache Indians Of sour plains.
They subsist on the flesh of the caribou
and brown bear. the counterpart of the
Rocky mountain grizzly. and quite as fero-
cious, and are greatly feared by the other
tribes in Alaska because Of their fierce
disposition and warlike nature. Our guides,
who were shore Indians, seemed to be
afraid of the new conner and he treated
them with naughty contempt. Whenever
he wonld shoot a fierce glance at them
they. ~ould quail like whipped ours.

nrskis they are quite ,soeiable and inclined
( to be obligins to white people. When
camped on the Yukon quite recently i

familiar song 'There'il BE a Hot Time in
