HARPER'S FERRY. w. Va, August 13.
The people of the town and surrounding
country have greatly enjoyed the visit OF
the soldiers from Washington. and regret
that they cannot remain longer. When the
question of the militia coming here to
spend their annual outing was first dis
cussed reports from Leesburg people
caused some little uneasiness The people
of Leesburg, still smarting about the de-
struction of the tree upon which a colored
man was lynched. tried to arouse the in
dignation of residents of this town, 1t Is
stated and it was feared by some that the
soldiers might go beyond the bounds OF de-
cency. Such was not the case, however
and nothing but words of praise are being
said about the wearers of the khaki UNI
forms.
II have never seen a better behaved
crowd of men in my life" said Mr.. T. M
Conner, one of the heaviest taxpayers or
the town I've had lots of dealings with
them, and found them to be gentlemen IN
every sense of the word. Every day since
the soldiers reached camp scores or them
have been in town at a time, and I've not
heard cross word spoken. Certainly the
people here are satisfied in every respect
with the visit of the Westinghouse. and
only hope they were Well enough pleaseo 10
return next year.
THAT there are two sides to this as well
as to other stories is told by those who left
camp today. They found the people OF
West Virginia hospitable and not inclined
to do any gouging. There was no attempt
made by the merchants of the town TO
charge fancy prices for their goods. and
even the people who had lunch and re-
freshment stands on the road charged only
regular prices for what they served. The
soldiers found that people here did what
they could in the way of helping to make
their visit a pleasant one. and there is
hardly a member of the militia who is not
in favor of returning here next year. One
instance of the treatment received at the
hands of the merchants mentioned
here last night by officer who was prais-
ing the people generally for their kind and
courteous treatment. A quantity of mus
lin was wanted in camp. and when an
officer went to a store to make a purchase
the dealer wanted to reduce the price be-
cause of the quantity he was going to sell.
His offer such innovation that the
purchase could not realize II was true.
When he had recovered from the shock he
expressed satisfaction that no effort had
been made to take advantage of him and
paid the regular retail price Tor his pur-
chase.

Grating him from blame in the sinking of
the launch Of the schooner yacht Mist and
the drowning Of one Of its occupants in
the harbor On thelnight of July II last.
The letter from the inspectors is adj
dressed to Captain Barker, and reads as
follows: r.
I'VE hereby advise you that we have this
day, by authority conferred upon this
board, exonerated you from the response
bility of the collision which occurred the
night Of July II, 1904, on the Potomac
river at Washington, D. c., between a mo-
tor launch (not named) and steamer Harry

Edward G.. Lee, the unfortunate victim of
the accident, had spent the day yachting
down the Potomac river the date named,
and was run down by the steamer Harry
Randall, which was crowded with pleasure
seekers returning to Washington. The
launch carrying Lee and a fellowsports-
man was capsized just off the arsenal, and
the suction was great that Lee was
drawn beneath the paddle wheel. He came
up above the water afterward and called
for help, but sank again before assistance
reached him. His body was recovered sew
eral hours later.

J. A. Kidwell, president Of the National
Association of Railway Postal Clerks,
called on Second Assistant Postmaster
General Shalienberger today and discuss
ed with that official the subject of bonds
TO be given by the railway postal clerks
In accordance with the recent order to

The clerks have entered no protest
against the system to be put into opera
ton. but Mr.. Kidwell voiced their senti-
ments when he told Mr.. Shallenberger
that they felt that the government should
not impose the expense upon the clerks.
out should be its own insurer. This, he
said. was the rule in all great Industrial
enterprises when the risks were widely
scattered, 1t having been demonstrated
t .nas the insurer could better afford to
take the risk than pay a premium to a
company Tor assuming 1t.
An Impression Removed.
1t has been the general impression that
the cost or these 81 900 bonds, which are
10 Dc required Of the railway postal clerks.
would be from IS to So per thousand, and
that the income thus given to various
bonding companies throughout the United
States would reach the neighborhood of
$ooUVV per annum. Mr.. Shallenberger. in
TOT Inc Evening Star, said that such was
not the fact, but that when the Post OF
nee department had completed It's form of
bond and made the other necessary ar
rangements for carrying into effect the or
der OF the Postmaster General 1t would be
found that all of the great companies Of
the country would be glad to get the risks
at 81 per thousand.
He said that the risks offered to COM
panfes would be as fairly distributed among
reputable concerns as could be arranged.
recent modification of the original order
was made to the effect that clerks would
be permitted to give either personal or
company bonds, and that either would be
accepted by the Post Office Department.
when given according to the form which
will later be prescribed. The time has not
yet been set when the bonds shall be given.
the matter not being one of any immediate
exigency and plans for the form and other
questions will be carefully made before
definite time is made known.

MAY BE WITHOUT PAY.
Navy Yard Employees Take Half-Hoi-
dav at Their Own Risk.

Captain Pendleton, in charge of the me-
chanics at the navy yard. stated to a re-
porter for The Star this afternoon that the
regular per diem employees at the navy yard
awaiting themselves of the half-holiday
privilege would not receive pay for the
time so taken. Captain Pendleton says
this is in accordance with the decision or
the controller of the currency, and that no
provision is made for the half-holiday pay.
A large number of the employees quit
work last Saturday promptly at II o'clock.
but they have not been assured that the
half-days pay will not be deducted when
they received their salaries. When the bell
rang at II o'clock today fewer employees
quit work than was the case last Saturday.
All were told that they could take the half
holiday, but were also warned that whether
the question of pay for the half day will be
subject to the controller decision.

Lieut. Col John E. Hull of the judge ad-
vocate generals office. who has been as
signed to special duty In connection with
the army maneuyers at Manassas, has ar
ranged an ingenious plan for the settlement
of claims for damages that may be done to
fences crops and live stock by the troops
during the field operations. 1t involves the
organization of corps of guards and OBJ
servers who will follow the contending al =
mics of the Blues and the Browns during
the maneuvers and make personal observa-
lions on the spot of any damage that may
have resulted. When guard notices that
a fence has been broken down or other
damage done, he will summon one of the
corps of observers. who will, If necessary,
keep the cows out of the corn and the pigs
out of the garden until the fence has been
erected again. The observer is expected to
make note of the damage as soon IS he ar
rives on the ground and Immediately make
a dicker with the owner of the property for
what he considers appropriate recompenSe.
