That Uncle Sam proposes to take good
care OF such officers of his army as are
not fortunate enough to be married is
shown by the fine buildings being erected
at army posts all over the country for
quarters for the bachelor officers. Not that
he does not also take good care OF the
married officers, too, At every army post
are erected numbers of handsome and con-
venientIy arranged dwellings for the use OF
officers families, but it is the bachelor
officers who will fare best, perhaps, at the
army posts in the vicinity OF Washing
ton.
Within the past six or eight years Fort
Hunt, near Washington. on the Virginia
side OF the Potomac. has been evolved
from a oornheld and scrub pine forest,
and handsome and comfortable buildings
for the use of the bachelor officers have
been erected there. At old Fort Washing
ton many changes have been made, and
while the officers quarters built over a
century ago within the inclosure OF the
old stone fort are still standing, rooms
are provided in new and modern buildings
erected within the last three or four years.
Here the bachelor officers have comfort
able quarters which would have all the
comforts of home we're the occupants of
them bachelors.

BITS OF WASHINGTON LIFE.
Minor scenes ana Incidents sketched
on the SPOT.

The reported abandonment OF an extra
session OF congress is hailed In interested
quarters as a distinct victory for the op-
ponents Of railroad rate regulation.
Their jubilation Is based on the belief that
every day cut out OF the life OF congress
helps the corporation cause, the leaders Of
which are confident they can throw
enough switches during the regular ses-
sion to sidetrack rate regulation.
ut it not betraying secrets to say" COM
ments the Washington Star, that the Be
lief prevails among the most experienced
Of the ultra-conservatives that they will
be able to defeat the president in his as
pirations for effective railway and tariff
legislation. They think they will be able
to tire him out. This belief is based upon
their estimate OF his character. when
talking, not to be quoted personally, these
statesmen go on to say that they think
the president will become impatient IL he
cannot win a swift and brilliant victory,
and that with the power of infinite delay,
which the senate rules invest them, they
can daily along and worry him with hope
deferred until he may give up the cam
paign or turn to other issues.
The presidents friends, who talk over
these things with him from time to time,
say that this is not a just estimate of
Roosevelts character, and that II the ul-
tra-conservatives are calculating on such
an outcome they are calculating without
their host. They insist that Roosevelt has
given every indication of his determine
tion to 'stiok' in this fight for tariff re-
vision and railway and corporation regu-
lation. They ask how It is possible for
any one to doubt in tbe face of his most
recent declaration, made under circum-
afn
public attention
The plan of the ultra-conservatives In
their campaign of attempting to tire out
the president includes a long discussion OF
departmental scandals; a series of investi-
cations by congressional committees; some
lively rows between congress and the de-
partments over appropriations and expendi-
lures, and discussion of such stray sub
jects as the fates may send them from
time to time OF course, there will be oc-
casonal advertence to the tariff and the
railways with. committees lolSing into ques-
tions that are raised. But the main purr
pose will be delay, postponement, debate
What will the president and his friends
be doing all this time? The ultra -conserva-
tives do not comprise the whole member
ship OF congress by any means, although
they may come pretty near controlling its
action most OF the time. The president
knows that he will have friends in the
next congress-, scores of them, who came in
on the great Roosevelt tidal wave last fall
Many of them are new in politics, am
bilious and naturally in close touch with
their constituents. Upon them the presi-
dent will depend to keep the pot boiling
when the Administrations opponents en-
deavor to let the fires go down. 1t is con-
ceded on all sides that the next session
will witness a struggle between congress
and the executive which will rival some
of the similar contests of the past"

A law was enacted by congress a few
years ago which provided that cards Of the
same size and weight as the ordinary pos
tai cards might be sent through the mails
as ordinary postal cards provided 1-cent
stamp was affixed.
Many of the printed cards sold as SOU
venir postal cards meet these requirements
and can be written upon and sent through
the mails with a 1-cent stamp affixed. The
trouble is, however, that not all, or in
deed most, of the souvenir postal cards do
meet the government requirement. Many
Of them are much bigger than the ordinary
cards and they are made of leather and
wood and almost everything else
All of these cards are mailable as mer-
chandise at the rate OF l cent an ounce,
but II anything is written upon them then
they require letter postage, which Is
cents an ounce. The leather cards, which
are so popular this season, are Of about
the same size as the ordinary cards and
would be maiable II not written upon II
It were not for the fact that they arc
much thicker than the ordinary postal
cards This bars them from the mails
except as merchandise, and IL written upon
letter postage must be paid,
The wooden souvenirs are generally much
larger and heavier than ordinary postal
cards and generally weigh more than an
ounce. Upon these, II there is any writing,
4 cents in stamps must be affixed
These few facts cover the government
regulations, and II everybody was familiar
with them and obeyed them they would
save much trouble and more souvenirs
would reach their destination. But the
trouble is that to many people all SOU
venrs look alike" and they affix 1-cent
stamps TO big and little, write their mes
sages on the back and dump them into the
letter boxes. The great majority Of them
do not reach their destinations and then
there is sorrow and disappointment.

McLane was in the box for Fordham,
and was hit hard in the sixth inning.
After this he settled down and pitched
a good game brennan. Georgetown s

guessing for four innings, but after
that they found his delivery and touched
him for some timely hits. In the fifth
inning l. Hartman was knocked out for
ten minutes. In sliding to third base he
injured his shoulder.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

Georgetown batted McI4ane all over
the field, but ran bases ike so many
wooden men. Thirteen clean bingles
and ten men left on The bases is the
best evidence Of their clumsy sprinting
ability. Morgan. LarIdn, Marten and
Burr were the offenders.
Drennan's pitching was superior to Nc
lanes in every respect The George
town man had the tall hitters OF the
Fordham team buffaioed, and only in
one inning did they find hin for more
than one hit.
A large crowd Of old Georgetown men
were present. Jimmy 'sTay yIor, the pitcher
