and put i'll pl ,,. 81 that all that was
necessary for he boys o do WAS to raise
up their tents, which will constitute their
homes for the next ten days.
1t is more than probable that this will
be the last state cncampmcnt, as il move
ment now on foot is practically perfected,
to have these gatherings held with the
regular United States soldiers. 1t is the
intention of the military authorities to
purchase permanent camping grounds
which will be fitted up in a modern man
ner In view of these facts, it is the in
tention of the commanding officer Gen
eral Riggs, and his corps of line officers,
to make it a memorable one. The actual
good work to be effected is expected to
far exceed any previous assemblagcs of a
| like character. Heretofore the boys have
looked upon these State Encanpmcnts
as general outing which has for it's OBJ
iective object good time for all partici-
pants. Camp John $. Saunders will
be an exception to this rule, and from the
time that reveille sounds i'll the morning
until the welcome taps at night their will
be very little time for fun. The drilling
will be of a much more extensive order
and will include several radical departures
from the regular camp life. Included
in this will be the marches through
out the surrounding county, which will
no doubt prove a novel sight, and carry
our older inhabitants back to the days OF
the Civil War, when squad of soldiers.
on the public road. was no uncommon
thing.
Our local residents should lake advan-
tage of the location Of this encampment
in our midst, and turn out to see the
same. 1t will be an attractive sight and |
one long to be remembered in the history
of the town. In answer to number of
queries we would say there is absolutely
no charge for admission to the encamp-
ment, the only thing required being a
compliance with the military rules. These
are not exacting and the visitors can
soon become acquainted with the same.
The order of daily duty of the camp
will be as follows:
Reveille, s A. NJ; sick call, $50 A. NJ;
breakfast call, A. M; police call, A
NJ drills, A. NJ; guard mount, $50 A.

ercall, 3. 10 P. NJ; regimentalpa parade,
7P. NJ; tattoo, Top. NJ; call to quarters,
1915 z. NJ; taps. 1920 P. NJ.
Visitors will be allowed in camp from7
to 11.30 A. NJ; to 5 P. Nj. and from
to 10 p. NJ. This does not apply to Off
GERS guests. The camp, however, must
be cleared of all visitors by 10 p. NJ.
There will be no drills on Sundays except

designated Friday, July 18th as the day
when he will visit camp John S.

staff in full uniform. AS this is what will
be considered the big day" of the ell
no doubt many visitors will
postpone their time of coming until then.
The Governor will review the entire bri-

an excellent showing

A CONTRAST IN PHYSIQUE.

AT the commencement of the UNIVERSE
ty of Maryland School of Medicine, held
a few weeks ago at the Academy of
Music, what struck a number of persons
in the big audience present as an amuse-
ing incident occurred The prize winner
of the occasion was young man from
Hartford county. He was by long odds
the smallest man in a class of 90, being
short and slender to a degree that was
emphasized strongly by the commanding
presence OF Mr.. Bernard Carter, the pro-
vost of the university, who awarded the
prize.
At the proper time Mr.. Carter called
out the name of the winner of the prize,
and the slim boyish-looking young man
came forward and stood near the centre
of the stage, we'll up in front. Towering
high above him, with his massive head
slightly bowed and sweeping gestures,
Mr.. Garter took up nearly l 8 minutes in
eulogizing the young man who had so
signaliv distinguished himself He spoke
of the ability that he must have shown
to have won the prize and whatit meant
to him i'll the future.
With the gracious courtliness for which
he is SO Justly famed, MIR. Carter con.
graduated the young Hartford countiarl
on his unusual attainments, his studious
habits, his perseverance and his energy.
With graceful sweep of his hand, high
above the boys head, he predicted for
him glowing future and pictured in the
most impressive words the field that was
before the young doctor. He told of the
pride taken in him, not only by his
family and friends, but by his classmates
and the faculty of the grand old univer,
sitv, which was now about to confer
upon him the most Distinguishing mark
of its appreciation.
All this while the young prize winner
stood almost under the shadow of Mr.
Carriers waving arm and every eye ii
the house was riveted on him. The con
trast i'll their sizes appeared to occup,
tie minds of the auditors as much as Mr.
Carriers eloquent words.-Baltimore Sun

SAD ENDING or PLEASURE PARTY.

Another sad drowning accident
occurred on Saturday near McCall's
Ferry on the Susquehanna river, where
young lowering lost his life last summer.
Professor Rhoads, assistant at Haver-
ford College, Philadelphia, was the
victim. He was warned of this treacher-
Gus current and while his company took
the prccaution to carry their canoes
around the place he had the hardihood
to attempt to stem the current. This
was the last seen of him and his body
has not vet been found. 1t is a sad
sequel of pleasant Fourth of July house
party which was to have been given at
the residence of MIR. Joshua c. Smith. y
number of the visitors had adopted this
unique plan of transportation by means
OF canoes and the days sport, upto that
time, had been thoroughly enjoyed.
DR.. Howard A. Kelly. who has 4 sum-
mcr home in BE! Air, shot the rapids in
July, 1902, i'll company with his nephew,
Robert Lewis, of Philadelphia. The two
were forced to leave the canoe in which
they were and swim for their lives.
Speaking of his experience then, DR.
Kelly said: when once started it is irn-
possible to stop or to do much to guide
the boat, so we had to plunge ahead and
take what might come. We upset twice
and scrambled out on the rocks, emptied
the boat and continued on down
Near the bottom of the falls the boat
lurched and saw that she was going to
fiji, SO jumped out, with paddle i'll
hand, leaving my nephew to paddle to a
rock below. The current was going very
fast and the rock was the last chance OF
landing for many miles, SO threw away
my paddle and swan for dear life, just
reaching the corner of the rock and clutch
ing it with my fingers when the current
was carrying me down."
DR.. kelly's nephew followed him and
they were soon safe.

Death of Mr.. Shipley.

MOUNTAIN, July 6th.-The glorious
Fourth passed off without any unusual
mishap, the past five weeks OF wet weather
having delayed the farmers so much with
their work, they were Il liable to take adj
vantage of the Nation holiday and enjoy
a day off. The colored brother, however,
was out i'll force, and very few of them
could be persuaded to stay at home and
help save the wheat crop.
Wheat cutting is about over The crop
generally is short and of an inferior quail
ity. The outlook for hay has improved
wonderfully the past two weeks Fields
on the first of June that looked rs if hey
would not be worth going over with The
machine, now promise yield of from Il
ton to ton and half per acre. Only a
few acres of oats were sown, most of
which have the appearance of giving a
fair average yield. The poor corn fields
look sorry The majority of them are so
over-run with weeds that it will be al
most impossible to get them clean. Po
tatoes have an abundance of vines and
promise agood yield oftubors. Pastures
never looked better than at present. So,
taking it all i'll all. perhaps the farmer
has no business tocomplain, even il taxes
