GOVERNOR At CAMP.
INSPECTS SECOND REGIMENT At
NIANTIC

Visit Very InfOrmal-PIeaSed With the

Governor Roberts made his visit to
the Second regiment in camp at Man
tic yesterday and was met by the First
battalion, under Major Charles F. Nc
Cabe, which escorted him to his tent.
A salute Of thirteen guns welcomed the
chief executive to the encampment. He
was not accompanied by his staff, and
the regulation frock coat and high hat
in which governors have customarily
appeared for official inspection of bril-
gade camps were missing-another in
dication of the informal, democratic
character of the visit. The governors
costume was a light business suit with
a straw hat.
The governor spent the morning in
inspecting the camp in company With
Acknowledgement Cole.
Governor Roberts expressed himself
as pleased with the appearance of the
camp. He said that, judging from what
he knew of the experience of the First
regiment, which was in camp last
wesk, the fegimental camp idea was a
success, and the only regret seemed to
be that the drilling was limited to a
week. The governor left for home at 4
O'Clock.
At guard mount yesterday the honor
of being governors orderly for the day
fell to Private Charles r. Julin, of Com
pany F, New Haven, while Private
Gladwin, of Company H. Middletown,
was appointed coloners orderly.
A special Tegimental and battalion
drill was held for Governor Roberts, as
he was unable to be present at the reg
mental dress parade in the afternoon.
Three ball games were played Tues
day. The Light Guard was the only
New Haven company to get on the dia-
mond and its team trimmed Company

week, when the Third regimsnt will be
eneanped there. His visit at that time
will be more formal, as he will be ac-
companied by his staff and other visit
ors.
Tomorrow will be visiting day, and
the soldiers are busy preparing to re-
ceiye their friends.
There is a good deal of quiet discus
sion here of the promotions to take
place when Colonel Sucher retiras.
Lieutenant-C6lonel .Geddes, will, of
course, be moved UP to the head of the
regiment. For the place left vacant it
is understood that both Major McCabe
and Major Tilson are candidates. For
the majorship that will be left open
there are four candidates-Captain
Gruerler, of the Grays; Captain Brad
ley, Captain Fitzpatrick and Captain
Carter. The latter two are Waterbury
men, while Captain Bradley is the cap
tain of Company I, Of Meriden, with
twenty-eight years service to his cred

tive rather than aggressive nature.

LIFE IN THE NORTHWEST.


The August Worlds Work is a North
west number, devoted to an account Of
the country which is now celebrating
the anniversary of the arrival of Lewis
and Clark. The following is from an
article describing the life of the people
there:
Life here has its own kinds of pro-
Vincialism no doubt. 1t is long way
from New York and Washington, but it
is a long way also from the point of
view of New York, or Washington, or
Chicago. Yet there is a grateful re-
lief also from the old prejudices and
from the provincialisms of the Eastern
States. The talk that you hear in the
clubs in New York. and Boston. and
Washington, and Chicago seems very
local and remote when you get to the
Pacific coast. There is local gossip
and small talk a-plenty in the clubs of
these Pacific cities; but here big SUBJ
jscts seem learger. You begin to feel
tina 1.-THE United States is very much
bigger than it seemed in New New
York. These people have way, and
that without boasting, of assuming
that they and not the Eastern people,
are the masters of things-that the
intimate American judgement will be-
their judgement.
It is difficult to say precisely how
they convey this impression If you
talk about politics they will frankly
confess that their politics are bad Few
men Of first-rate ability or of the high
Est character have time to take an in
terest in public affairs. If you talk
about commerce, the commerce of the
Pacific is yet really to be developed.
But they do think in large units. You
viii hear them talk about the effect
mat the Panama Canal will have, as if
the canal were ten miles from where
you are sitting. When they speak of go
ing South they mean a pleasure
Journey of 1000 miles, more or less,
20 southern California. They talk
Famllarly of towns and camps in AL
Hska, as if they were days journey
away. They talk of going to New York
or Chicago, as if they were contiguous
Flties. Perhaps it is their large units
OF space that give sort of continental
scope to their thought.
A better explanation is the wider
knowledge that men here have of
american geography and of Ameri-
can life than most men in the Eastern
states have. They all know Eastern
life. Eastern men do not not all know
western life. Indeed, almost every
body here came from the Eastern or
Middle. States. Thus, knowledge of
the whole United States is common.
knowledge with them. But know
ledge of the Pacific coast is not COM
mon in the Eastern or the Middle
States. 49,
Life IN these, cities, then, in spite of
the Pacific provtncialism. is nature and
proad-in some ways broader than
American life elsewhere.

A PAGAN SURVIVAL.

There is little doubt that the custom
of lighting fires on Midsummer Eve is
Of Eastern origin Those who watch
the Irish peasant driving their cattle
between piles, or see the young men
leaping over the glowing embers, as
the bonfres sink lower and the brief
darkness Of the midsummer night gives
place to the rose flush of dawn, can
hardly fail to be reminded of that

SO strictly forbidden to the Hebrews
Whole families pass solennly between
two fires, or spring backward ana for
ward over the flames. 80 81
True, the simple coutry folk imagine
they are performing these mystic rites
in honor of st. John the Baptist, for
early missionaries, finding it impossible
to prevent their converts Keeping the
pagan festivals, transferred them to
the saints, and midsummer was as
signed to st. John-"the light to light
en- the Gentiles instead of to Baldur
or Baal, and the bonfires were called
'@Feine bhelI Eden" John. f$z
Some say that the fires were trans
ferred from May Day or ''Beltane' -anl
other important festival held by the
Irish, Scotch and British Gelts in honor
of Baal, or Belus--to midsummer;
others, with more probility, assert that
the two festivals were quite distinct.
However this may be, May Day is still
called "Bealtaine" or ttBeltane'' in
both ireland and Scotland. Ns}.

A PTscAroRIAI PET.

A remarkable story is told Of a lady
living near Inbestre Hall, Stats, who
has mada a pet of a trout. A cores
'pondent writes that while walking
round pool in that neighborhood he
observed a lady throw piece Of bread
g.: the water. Almost Immediately the
surface of the pool was ruff1ed. there.
was a glimpse of bright color and the.
bread had disappeared. Other crumbs
followed, thrown nearer and nearer to
the bank, and gradually there swan
into view a fine trout.
Without the slightest trace OF shy-
ness the trout came to the edge Of the
bank, to the very feet of he lady, and
waited for more bread to ba thrown.
In reply to questions put by the yisi-
tor, the lady stated that the trout had
been her pet for a long time, ana had
become SO tame that it would even
taka worm or a piece Of meat from
her fingers.
