tional and regimental colors. The po-
sition of the forces on the hill pre-
sented a very warlike appearance.
Camp had just been established,
when Maj. Conveys forces appeared on
the east side of the field. They were
preceded by patrol of cavalry, who
looked very fierce as they galloped at
full speed across the rolling field of
conflict. They engaged the enemy's
horse and drove him back. This en-
gegement was reported back to the at
tacKing forces, together with the To-
cation Of the enemy and his probable
strength. The German Volunteers
were then detached to make a demon
stration against the left of Maj. FL
liott's position, While the remainder
took up their position in a clump of
bushes surmounting hill on the east.
The engagement between the Ger
mans. under command of Capt. Kone-
mann, and the companies dispatched
TO repulse their attack was interest
ing. BY this time the Hussars had
dismounted. A detachment under
command of Lieut.. Silverburg and the
Emmett Rifles encountered the Ger
mans and steadily drove them back,
forcing them to retreat under a heavy
nre. The Germans retired in good Or
der, sending haunting VolleyS at the
enemy as they withdrew. The enemy
then returned to camp, and the Ger
mans took up a position on the north,
on Twelfth street.
The Enemy Located.
The feint attack of the Germans,
which was intended to distract the at
tention of the enemy, having been re-
pulsed, the pickets and sentinels of the
defending forces had located the bulk
of the attacking forces by this time,
situated in their screen of bushes
about 500 yards distant. The crack
narksmen of the Cadets then exer-
cised their trained eyes in picking out
the scouts of the enemy, and had it
been actual conflict there is no doubt
many would have been left on the
field, for the practice at the silhouette
figures on the range would have I'M
doubtedly stood them in good stead

the Naval Reserves in reserve, and as
they advanced by alternate rushes, the
engagement began in earnest. The

Maj. Coney's forces replied to the at

refreshed themselves after their long
jaunt by making a hasty toilet. They
then went to the home of Gen. w. w.

dered Gov. Terrell by Col. G. A. Cor
don. The same commands which par
ticipated in the shame battle were the
guests.
Gov. Terrell and the receiving party
stood in the front parlor, where each
man passed, and being introduced by
his captain. shook hands with the chief
executive and the other members of the
party. Gov. Terrell did not seem to
tire of the incessant Misunderstanding as
the long line of men passed by put
to the contrary, appeared to enjoy the
occasion immensely. He conversed
pleasantly with a number of the Off
GERS, and expressed his pleasure at
meeting the men of the various COM
mands.
He was asked his opinion of the
sham battle, and replied that, while
he had witnessed numerous engage
ments of the kind that he has never
seen one that could compare with the
one which he had just witnessed. The
cAci NiSSS ile 9eilu lie was certain WOULD
be of great benefit to the participants.
He alluded to his visit to the range in
the forenoon, saying that it would be
almost impossible to improve on the
AVondale range.

shoot, isn't it, Governor" inquired an
irrepressibe newspaper man. The
Governor caught the significance of the
remark and laughed. Every one
knows that" he answered evasively.
Col. Obear, who was standing on his
right, overheard the remark. Yes. ev-
cry one must admit it is the best in
the state" he added
After the men had shaken hands
with the Governor they passed through
the dining room, where each was serv-
ed with punch by Col. Gordon. The
occasion was greatly enjoyed by all
present.

What shall We Eat:

4 writer in Harper'S Weekly makes
q plea for the scientific regulation OF
food. 1t is Il striking fact. le points
out, that science, which has weighed
the moon and measured the orbits OF
The planets and split the atom into
e,rrtrons. has not yet been able con-
vinrin"ly to tell man what is and what
is not his proper food. And Yet it is
evident to every intelligent observer
that q worry large proportion OF men
and women are poisoning themselves
every day, running their bodies and
their minds. shortening their lives and
bringing upon themselves pain and
misery through eating and drinking
substances and quantities that are not
fitted for human assimilation. .Ise-
formers are at work everywhere, but
the rcformcr who could, with author
ity, show humanity what it should eat
and drink would surely do more good
than Il whole army of wiscacres tinker
ing at the effects of the evil. What
the world needs is an authoritative
science of food"

New Hampshire's New Liquor Law

liquor il was understood that thereaft-

thirst might be reasonably assuaged.
At least, reports the Chicago Evening

In Mr.. Goodells judgment liquor is
bad for any one, and 50 he has set out
