Mr.. H. A. Willard was host On Inaugural
ton day at 1 o'clock at an informal lunch
con at the New Occidental Building, No.

genial hospitality
The third balcony was draped with a

Boer Tobacco.
From South Africa.

From South Africa
After Transvaal tobacco, but long way
after comes Boer. The name Is in reality
nowadays a misnomer for this tobacco Is
grown largely in Natal and Cape Colony.
1t is also cultivated In the Orange River
Colony, Is sold by the roll, and can be OBJ
tanned for about Sd. pound II a whole
roll Is purchased. 1t Is also sold by the
sack.
White men buy these sacks, but they do
not smoke the contents themselves; they
use It to reward the Kaffir servants for
working overtime. or doing any other meri-
torious action. The taste for Transvaal to.
bacco Is an acquired one; 1t also takes
certain time before a man gets used to the
scent No white man who has come from a
distance has 50 far lived long enough to
acquire liking for either the taste or the
smell, but II has its uses in the case of the
natives. and 1t Is also useful IL you have
an undesirable visitor whom you are anx-
ious to get rid Of. Offer him pipe of Boer
tobacco, and he will never enter your house
again.
The traders purchase this weed largely:
they also use 1t up on the natives In the
shape of presents, as every kaffir who
makes a purchase in country store always
asks for free gift. and the competition
to secure the native trade Is so acute that
the request cannot be refused.

Officers Proud of Them.

Their officers like them, just as the white
officers like details with the colored cav
airy and infantry regiments. The little
brown man, like the negro of the 9th, 10th
and oath and 25th Regiments. makes an
ideal enlisted man. They are naturally
obedient to discipline, clean and neat in
their personal habits ~once they get into
the swing of the army. and make excellent
fighters when led by the right sort of COM
missioneG officers. They are naturally good
shots, too. One of the best marksmen in
the whole army is Sergt. Thomas of the
9th Cavalry, and there are a score of dis
tinguished marksmen in the ranks of the
scouts. Their officers have less trouble
with the little fellows in month than their
brother officers of the white regiments have
in a week with their men, and Fort Myer
will be sorry to see the last of the queer
little fellows when they start back to the
west ."t+ We i57

Story Of Organization.

There was no organization in the great
inaugural parade that attracted more at
tention than the little Filipino Scouts. 1t
is the first time that any part of this or
ganizaton has been as far east as WASH
ington. though thousands of Americans
saw them at ST. Louis, where they were
on duty as one of the great attractions of
the fair.
There are now $50 of them with their Off
GERS at Fort Myer. and there is no question
that the little fellows with the boyish
forms and Japanese-like faces have made
themselves very popular.
While the organization is still known as
the Philippine Scouts, it ought to be under
stood that they are no longer scouts at all,
in the regular acceptance of the term, but
much part of the regular estab-
lishment as any other regiment on the
rolls.
The first detachment of the scouts was
raised by Lieutenant. afterward Captain
Batson. in the Island of Luzon. They were
in way a part of the regular army. but
were hired by the quartermaster DEPART
ment as supplementary employees, and were
given to Batson to use in scouting. There
were 400 in the first batch, all of the ever
loyal Macabeebes and they were known in
differently as Batsons Scouts, the Maca-
beebes or the Philippine Scouts.
They proved to be excellent fighting ma
terial, natural-born scouts and bush Tight
ers and as useful IN their field as were the
two troops of Apache scouts that once
formed a part of the army in the west.
They were continued in their particular
field for some time. and in 1901 they were
increased to 5000. recruited from Macca-
beebes, Iloiloilans Visayans and Tagalogs,
and were made a part of the regular eS-
adjustment There were four companies
sent to duty at St Louis. The term of en-
listment of many of these expired while
thew were in the middle west and about
200 of them decided to return to the Phil
ippines, not that they did not like the
service, but because they could not stand
the climate Many of these re-enlisted as
soon as they got back to the islands, and
about 100 of the time-eXpred men re-en-
listed in St. Louis. .

Drilled at Capitol.

There was a picturesque scene in the
east plaza of the Capitol this afternoon
that We'd in interest with that greater
exhibition that took place Saturday. The
Filipino troops were marched to the plaza
east of the Capitol about 1 o'clock and
there for over an hour, in the presence of
large company, they were drilled in all the
intricacies OF the manual which contains
many difficult and attractive movements.
Vice President Fairbanks, large num-
Der of senators and representatives went
to the presidential stand that was still
standing and from that point of vantage
witnessed the splendid drill. Not only was
there a large assemblage on the stand, but
all about the plaza there were grouped
many visitors who had happened to be In
that neighborhood and who took occasion
to witness the drill.
