TEE STATUE ON THE DONE.
Some Popular Errors With Regard to
It Corrected.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The story about a reckless sailor, named
Saunders hosting flag on the statue thl'
crowns the Capitol dome on the day OF It's
installation December =, 1858. and DONG so
against the remonstrances of his feiioW-
workmen, and to the surprise and constef-
nation of everybody else, is a good story
but unfortunately, it does not agree with
the official record Mr. Thomas Z. Walter,
architect of the Capitol extension. in his
annual report dated November l, 1911
quotes special order No. 24S issued DeceIn-
Der /. 1863, by Gen. Augur, eommaEolns
the department of Washington In TINS
order Gen Augur says: AT II m on the
I'd instant the statue of freedom, WhlcD
crowns the dome of the national Captoi,
will be inaugurated. In commemoration OF
the event it is ordered, first, at the moment
at which flag is displayed from the
statue national salute of thirty-five guns
will be fired from field battery on Capitol
Hill; second, the last gun from this salute
will be answered by a similar salute from
Fort Stanton, which will be followed in
succession from right to left by salutes
from Forts Davis, Mahan, Lincoln. Bunker
HILL Tottcn, De Russey, Reno, Cameron,
Corcoran. Albany and Scott.
1t appears clearly from this order that
the hosting of flag OH the statue was not
a surprise sprung by reckless sailor but
a prearranged feature of the dedicatory
ceremonies, the most important feature, IN
fact. for it was the signal winch started
the whole extensive ScneIHe VI poWuci
burning Architect Walter says that the
raising of the statue to the dome was ac-
complished without accident by the use of
the steam hosting apparatus which had
been used in the construction of the entire
dome Four of the five sections into which
the statue is divided had been raised and
secured before the I'd of December, leaving
only the head and. shoulders section to be
placed. This was started from the ground
at exa Ntly u noon of the I'd, and in twenty
minutes it reached the height of 300 feet,
when it was moved to its place and firmly
attached to the remaining portion of the
figure. AS soon it was properly adjusted
the American flag unfurled over its
head and the national salute was fired, in
accordance with the foregoing program of
Mai. Gen. Augur. The effect was thrilling
and grateful to every loyal heart

A MESSAGE,


Live thou thy life,
And live it with a zest.
Discovering to the world the hidden
best
Which dormant in you lies,
And God will do the rest
Live thou thy life.
Your life is waste when only vain
regret,
Repining, envying, has occupied your
life;
Strive these most hurtful feelings to
forget,
And cease this waste of force-this
trivial strife.
The richest of the earth are those
who strive
And labor in the world with best
intent.
Their wealth and happiness while
here they live
Coming from mind at peace, serene,
content.
Slightest thou for wealth?
1t multiplies your cares,
With sudden gain your mind is
numbed,
And you are easy prey for schemers
snares.
Why sigh for wealth?
Would you be wise?
And envy men the knowledge they
acquire?
Could o but once review the time
they spend
Gathering littles-burning with I'M
satisfied desire
know-with discomfort abiding to
the end
Why sigh for learning?
The talents still are scattered among
men;
Some have as low as one-yet some
have ten
To whom is given much-much is
required,
For so tbs written in the Book in
spired.
Use your best talent to so serve
your Lord
That you may claim for duty done
reward.

MILITARY INSTITUTE.

Although more cadets have report

than heretofore, every department
has been thoroughly organized and
all is working with great regularity

The cadets have all been graded
and assigned to their respective

prepared for the Collegiate classes,
which makes a very small Prepare
tory department much to the plea
sure of all concerned.
Capt. c. N. McWhorter is training
the baseball players and will have
them in condition to play during the
fair, but owing to the fact that Tho
mas, last years pitcher, did not re-
turn, the team will not be as strong
as when the Amarillo boys met their
defeat.
Major Wright. the new Command
ant, has been hard at work training
and organizing the cadets into a bat
talon. He has them divided into
three companies, and yesterday they
went through battalion parade for the
first time his session.
The band is again in charge of
Prof. Jno. Fletcher and was in splen-
did form at yesterdays parade, al
though they have only been organ
lied for a little over a week.
Yesterday an order was published
before the cadet corps appointing
officers and non-commissioned Off
