he stated, corroborated his assertion
Capt. Foote spoke briefly of the patriotic
motives which prompted the men to VOlun-
teer for service in defense of their country
and complimented the men of the Sd Regf-
ment on their efficient work. He was fol-
lowed by Capt. Ward who recalled Incl
dents of the campaign and spoke Of pleas
ant associations with members of the Sd
Regiment. 1t would always be a matter
of pride to him, he said, that he had served
with the regiment in the late war. Lieut..

ment, the country, etc, were drunk during
| the evening, and toward the close of the
affair Capt. Grove gave lantern-slide ex-
hfbition, showing views of the regiment
on the field, both in practice and in
| tive service This exhibition was one of

as a means of recalling many memories of
| the war to the minds of those present. A
souvenir of the gathering. consisting of
| large pipe appropriately inscribed, was
presented to each one present
The Sd Regiment, United States volun-
teer Engineers. was mustered in at Jefrer-

STATUES OF HEROES.
Suggestions Regarding Those Ordered
to Be Placed in Lafayette Park.


The Secretary Of War has received let
ter from Mr.. A. B. Bibb of New York sub
hitting several suggestions with regard to
the placing of the statues Of Won Steuben
and Pulaski the revolutionary heroes, in
Lafayette Park in accordance with the pro-
visions of acts passed at the last session of
Congress. His first suggestion is that the
two statues be located on the south side
of the square to the right and left of the
middle line, to face Pennsylvania avenue.
He says the statues should be in a line
with the statues of Lafayette and Rocham-
beau on the north corners and of about the
same height and general treatment as the
latter
Another suggestion is that the Jackson
statue be turned around so as to face the
White House. with a new and taller ped
estal, 80 as to dominate as the central
figure of the group" Mr.. Bibb also advo-
Gates basin in the form of a long oval
and to be designed for future fountain of
about the width of the present flower bed,
whose place 1t should occupy.

THE MAN
ABOUT
TOWN
BY
Harry Tucker.

The next time we take a trip to Acca.
on the r., Il. and p, we are going to
first find out whether there are any
bridal parties on board.
We love to be on a train with bridal
couple and their friends, but VIC like
to know about it in advance, so we can
prepare ourself.
We don't like to get on a firing line
without being in position to reply when
the attack is made.
Therefore, when we found oursalf yes
terd,ly morning sitting I'm front of a.
blnshing couple with n side line of friends
with bouquets all over the panels of their
coats, and quart Of rice slipped down
our collar before we could seek a place
of safety, we felt mean.
We always want to know about these
things, SO we can arm ourself with some
old shoes and we used to be a swift pitch
err on our baseball club.
All hail the luscious buckwheat cal1e
We are ready and willing to get up at
6 A. NJ. any day to embrace q dozen or
Of oleomargarine.
Sometimes axle grease goes.
So it is with the greatest of pleasure
that we hail the buckwheat cakes.
All we ask is that the girl with the
auburn smile at Nirkwood's do not look
al us as we spill the syrup all over our
cravat In our hurry to consume the
feast.
We are not at all sorry that we did
not throw our straw hat in the ash bar
rel for one of Henry Cohn's men last
week the day 1t looked like snow.
For now we have something with which
to cool our soothing brow in our mad rush
up and down Capitol Hill in the sun
slime.
We are also glad that the cold snap
got broken before 1t anchored here, for
we have not yet been able to settle
things with Simon, our tailor, SO we have
to continue to wear the serge suit we got
from I3urk.
All these things tend to make us feel
happy, and it is with some delight that we
look upon the gurgle of the Blue Ribbon
bottle that Mr.. Lerch sent us after we
had experienced some OBSTACLES through
the kindness Of George Guvernator.
We have always considered ourself
Jonah. but there are even few sparks
Of sunshine upon every cloudy season,
and we manage sometimes to keep away
from the shadows of the cloud.
When Howard Hall wrote "The Child
Slaves" he must have been burning the

ter and Old Seuth.
Or he must have been across the street
at Kid McCoys place. drinking sarsapa-
riln and mint juleps, and he learned to
drink under the guidance OF Gus Davis
or Jim Mum.
Anyway, It's better than one of Nick
Carriers, and we are going to sec the
play several times.
We always so to hear Black Patti sing,
and we love to sit before the Trouba-
dours and laugh at the real negro, who
makes himself funner when he tries to
be negro
We laughed a whole lot last night, and
we heard some good music. II. L.
