MARINE BAND UNIFORM
Proposed to Have One for White House
Wear

General Elliott. commandant of the Ma
rine Corps. has decided to appoint a board
consisting of Lieut.. Col. William P. BiddIe.
Major Charles L. McCawley, assistant quar-
termaster; Major Rufus H. Lane, assistant
adJutant and inspector, and Capt. Harry
Leonard to take up and decide the question
of designing an indoor uniform to be worn
by the Marine Band when it is on duty at
the White House and other indoor func-
tons.
For a long time it has been felt that the
band needed special uniform to be worn at
White House receptions and like affairs
where 1t is desired that the men shall APP
pear as trim as possible. The regular uni
form under present conditions is given ex-
tremely hard wear. the band is often
called to march in parades through dusty
streets making it difficult to keep their uni
forms ship shape.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
BOYD'S, Nd, November Is, 1903.
Mr. NJ S. Plummer, special agent and ex-
aminer for the Post Office Department. has
been here arranging to establish two rural
free delivery routes from this point, to take
erect very soon from completion of the ar
raneements. The establishment Of the
routes will do away with at least ter
fcurth-class post offices in this section of
the county One OF the routes is to go from
Boyds, via Slidell and Thomsons corner.
within one-half mile of Hyattstown. thence
to Lewisdale, Purdumn and return to
Boyds, a distance of about twenty-five
miles. This line will return via Clarks-
burg. The other line will be from Boyd's,
via Clarksburg, thence to Kings valley. to
watkins and probably to Goshen, and to
Cedar Grove and return to Boyd's via
Clarksburg. about twenty miles In length.
This will abolish the old stage route from
Boyd's to Clarksburg that has been rum
ming for thirty years. Examinations for
the position Of carriers win be held soon.

Philadelphia says:
Brave in the uniform of a United States
marine. Horace Hesler Mccall, native of
Baltimore stood up in the little parlor OF
No. 63 Wisher street Saturday afternoon
and swore to love, honor and cherish a
Filipino yirl who travelled half way

A few marines from the League Island

or three relatives of the bridegroom were
the witnesses of the wedding ceremony
and when it was over the dainty little
Malay denied them all a brides kiss and
crossed herself with a sacred oath that no
man save her husband had ever touched
his lips to hers.
The big marine tells straightforward
manly story of his wooing in the Philip
pines, of the elopement, the peril of bring
ing the girl aboard ship the difficulties
San Francisco, the struggles there and the
supreme effort that finally brought his
loved one here-half way around the globe
for love.

romance as follows:
With the ships came the lovers, and
with the ships the lovers went again and

WIFE HAS PROPERTY
BEAVERS TURNS OVER ALL HIS
POSSESSIONS
His Counsel Charges the Government
With Depriving the Accused Of
His Legal Rights.
The New York World today says:

| ne new 1OTh NOElo touds
! George W. Beavers, the former chief oil
| the division of salaries and allowances OF
| the Post Office Department. who is under
| bail on two indictments found in Brooklyn
and Washington charging fraud, has trans
ferred his Brooklyn real estate to his "lle'
Rosetta A. Beavers. The tranaction was
| made Saturday, and, following so closely
the appeal on habeas corpus proceedings
on Beavers behalf made last week, mas
caused much surprise.
The official record of the property which
Beavers has transferred to his wife for a
nominal consideration is as follows:

There are fifteen lots in the Borough Park
section in the property transferred, and the
beautiful home where live Mrs. Beavers
and two of her children is included.
third and eldest child, George w. Beavers,
,, jr., is a cadet at the West Point Military
Academy.
Not If his counsel can prevent 1t will
dictments which resulted in his arrest. So
convinced are his lawyers of his innocence
that they say defense of the charges
against him is of secondary Importance to
the fight to secure for him his personal
liberty.
Judge Morgan of Morgan & Seabury, No.
1870 Broadway, said yesterday that the gov
eminent had acted in an unwarrantable
manner in holding Beavers under the in
dictments found by the grand jury. Judge
Morgan stated that the government had de-
prived Mr. Beavers of an opportunity to
know the charges or the evidence against
him, which was irregular and unfair.
Defense, General Denial.
Mr.. Beavers defense will be a general
denial of the crime charged against him in
the indictments 1t will be contended that
the witnesses who testified before the grand
jury gave their testimony on information
and belief alone, and that none of them
could swear of his own knowledge to the
facts on which Mr.. Beavers was indicted
His case is now in the hands of the United
States Supreme Court, following the denial
by Judge Lacombe in the United States cir
cult court last Thursday to grant the appli-
cation for a writ of habeaS corpus In re-
fusing the writ Judge Lacombe allowed the
accused an appeal The contention origi-
nally made by Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney Wise was that a copy of the
Indictment was sufficient evidence upon
Wmch an accused could be removed to an
other district. 1t is this point that Mr.,
Beavers counsel deny. They claim a legal
rght to examine the witnesses who APP
peared before the grand Jury before they
consent to allow their client to appear for
eXamina ton.

the plates, rolls and dies u5ed in print

and revenue stamps, bonds and postal
cards during 1901 were loaded early
this morning on two big trucks. AL
though the precaution had been taken
to spoil the face of each plate with a
file, four Swapping employees OF the
Treasury Department rode on each
truck. A Treasury committee rode in
a carriage.
The procession went to the Navy
yard foundry, where the plates were
unceremoniously dumped into one of
the furnaces, to come out as pig steel
and to be used for ballast for war
ships. There were twenty tons OF
